WARNING AGAINST THE DEADLY PEAR BLIGHT

as the flowers are borne upon spurs.
and as these spurs are developed rom
wood which is one or more years old,
fruiting spurs frequently appear upon
the pear on large branches. II, there
fore. becomes evident that il these
fTuiting spurs are allowed to remain
upon the large structural branches OF
the tree, and the blossoms of such
spur become affected by the pear
blight, the blight viii immedi-
ately become communicated TO
the framework branch upon which
the spur is situated. In con-
sequence, a case OF what is called
body blight results 1t is evident
therefore. that if the fruiting spurs
which bear these blossoms are kept off
the large branches Of the tree there IS
less liability of injury TO them from
the blight. Persons engaged IN pear
culture should therefore. pay the
fruiting spurs from the main structural
branches of the pear tree This VIII
force the development of spurs upon
the smaller branches, and as these can
be allowed to develop at a considerable
distance from the main body of the
tree, contamination with the blight viii
only necessitate the removal OF one of
these smaller, minor branches, rather
than the loss OF a main framework
branch. BY systematically cutting out
all blighted branches which appear
among the fruit bearing branches Of
a properly pruned pear tree, IL viii at
snce rid the tree of the blight. without
any serious detrimeBt to the tree itself
This is the principle underlying the
control of the much dreaded pear
blight, and, as before stated, it is con-
trolied primarily by jUdiciOus prun-
ing"

tion of the Board of the Sellers gravel pit near Cantelou's Station on the Western Railway and the estimate cost of building spur track to reach the pit.
 MT. Mason said that there appeared to be an inexhaustible supply of gravel in the pit and the quality is good. He said there was sufficient quantity of gravel there to justify the expense of building a spur track. He estimated the cost of constructing the spur track at $S,4S41O.
 The Board took the matter under consideration. It Is not probable the work will be authorized soon.
 After discussion of routine business the Board adjourned to meet again next Monday.

The Chnrch Calendar.

The church Kaiendar for 1905, is un usually complete and interesting. 1t covers the period from advent to ad- vent Episcopal year.
 It contains a very complete church dictionary, and one would have to pur- chase hundreds of dollars worth of books and spend long hours in research to obtain the information which the kalender affords at a odest outlay.
 It seeks to present the holy seasons. and days, and sequences of the sacred year, together with the tables of les- sons. historical facts. rituals. ceremon- les, liturgicial colors. decorations for the altar. and chancel in an attractive anI ineligible form. and enable those, who have to understand the ways and methods of their church. as they would not be likely to do without its mod est help.
