TOMATO BLIGHT.
Is Fungus Growth That Begins Attack
in the Seed Bed.

Tomato blight Is due to fungus,
part in the seed bed. This being the
case. there can be no remedy for the
plant after 1t is once attacked. This
Is true, for the reason that the fungus
grows on the inside of the plants and
evidently enters only the rootlets Of
young plants. By examining the tts'
sues of young plant with micro
scope. the threads of the fungus may
be seen clogging the cells where they
interfere with the passage Of food ma
terial. At the present time, then, we
see no hope of ever being able to COM
bat this blight successfully in the field.
But we do hope to find method Of
prevention by improving the sanitary
condition of the seed beds. With this
end in view, we believe 1t will pay to
thoroughly clean and disinfect the
frames or fats in which the seeds are
planted. This may be done by wash
ing or spraying all Of the parts after
the dirt and soil have been removed,
with strong solution of copper sui
phate. Then fresh soil and manure
should be procured, which should also
be sterilized. This can be best done by
steam. This may be done at small
cost by fitting up small system Of
two-inch iron pipes which are to be
placed in the bottom of bed made
for the purpose. Three ten or ~ foot
lengths of pipe will be ample, and
small holes must be drilled in them
about six inches apart to allow steam
to escape. The pipes are now placed
parallel to each other and connected
at both ends, SO that they are about
10 inches apart. The apparatus
may be connected to traction engine
or other available source Of steam sup
ply. Soil should be filled into the bed
over the pipes to the depth Of about
one foot, then the surface covered with
gunny sacks or some similar material.
II steam is turned on for an hour, the
low organisms will be killed, and
plants which will be practically free
from blight should be raised in soil
which has been treated in this man

TRACTION AUTOS TO BE
USED IN WORK ON CANAL

r RACTION automobiles are the
/ latest thing for the Panama canal,
and their use, according to officials
of the canal in Washington, presages
the doom of the ancient and time
honored railroad velocipede, now used
by track walkers and employees in
charge of switch lights in sparsely
populated communities. 1t Is not be-
yond the realm Of probability, In the
opinion Of some Of them. that the rum
ming of automobiles on railroad tracks
will become a fad II the railroads will
stand for it.
The purchasing agent of the com.
mission has advertised for two such
machines for use on the railroad
across the Isthmus of Panama cap
able of carrying ten persons each and
able to make a speed of 40 miles an
hour on a level track with the engine
running at normal speed. The en-
CINE must be stout enough to climb
a grade of eight per cent, and to In
crease their speed to rs per cent
above normal, or, in other words, to
make so miles an hour. The car must
burn ordinary stove gasoline and have
capacity to go 1875 miles at full
speed and load. 1t is the purpose Of
the commission to place these cars
In the inspection department for the
use Of the chief engineer and his as.
sistants, who now have to rely on
passing passenger. freight, dirt or
special trains In inspecting the work
along the canal.

HOT WATER WAS WANTED.
It Took Commands In Three Ian
guases to Bring It.

While touring in Switzerland we de
cidsd to spend month or more in the
Bernese Oberlands, in little hostelry
out of the travellers beaten path and
situated high on ridge under the
shadow of the mighty "Jungfrau." The
house was full of French and Ger.
mans; few of our own countrymcn
seemed to have discovered the lowell.
ness of this retired place.
We awoke early on the morning
after our arrival, and although 1t was
late in summer the air was frosty and
the snow glistened on the mountain
sides. do you suppose" l said, I'VE

seemed a compromise between a ma

My effort was thrown away. The

My sister ventured the request in
uncertain German: Bite, wollen sic

FORESTRY BUREAU RULES
OVER MILLIONS OF ACRES

WAsHINGToN.-The Forestry Blu
w reau, which now administers
more acres of land than my other
institution in the world and is the
landlord branch of the Federal Gov
eminent, has Just compiled its report
covering statistics Of grazing on the
public lands of the great West The
figures will give some idea of the scale
on which Uncle Sam has gone into the
land business, and are very comfort.
Ing because of their very size, for II
the existing policy is unmolested the
vast areas Of forest and mountain now
embraced in reserves will for all time
be administered in the interest of the
entire people.
There are now more than 156,000,-
900 acres Of land in the national for
ests. Grazing is permitted, but under
strict regulations, made in order that
the grass may not be destroyed by
overlooking. This, by the way, is
what has caused most of the friction
in the West. Owners Of focks and
herds in that section Of the country
for years have been accustomed to
grazing without restrictions Of any
kind. Many of them in time came to
look upon the public domain as their
very own, in an important sense, and
they were quick to resent any effort
on the part of the government to con-
serve either forest or grazing land.
But this friction is rapidly disappear
ing, as the western people see that
without such conservation the range
and forest in time will be destroyed.
A glance at the regulations govern
ing grazing on the government forests
will give the reader very good idea
of the government forest policy and
how 1t is being administered. Stock
range apply for permits stating the
kind of stock they have, the quantity
OF it and the location of the range they
want. The forest officers then proceed
to make allotments, apportioning the
available pasture among the appli-
cants ON as equitable basis as prac-
ticable.
Sometimes stockmen who live near
forests OF have stock near them allow
that stock to drift across lines. II this
is done carelessly or wilfully 1t is con-
sidered trespass and the offender is
subject to fine and may also be sued
for damages. The number of tres
pass cases last year was 1873, of which
1853 were settled out of court. The
sum collected for these trespasses az
gregated $3.50. These trespass cases
have been another source of friction
between the government and the
grazers. It is difficult for the west
to realize that, the country now being
thickly populated, 1t is no longer pos
sible to maintain the old time free
range without destroying that range.
The entire system of permits and fees
is for the purpose of enabling the
government to know that the range
within the reserves is not being over
fed.

Tho Farmer's Vegetable Garden.


The farmers vegetable garden Is
growing in popularity with the farm
ers that wish their families to have
the greatest amount of comforts in
their farm life. A half acre devoted to
this work can be made constant
source of pleasure not only on account
of the vegetables 1t will produce but
also on account OF the large amount
of information 1t will yield up relative
to what treatment Of the soil will give
the best results. Such garden should
be very heavily MANFRED. SO that 1t
will be always at its best for produc.
ing crops. We would put on manure

that of whip grating. The usual plan.
says Orange Judd Farmer, is for q
man to set the buds with q boy fol-
lowing closely to do the tying.
+ The bud should be taken from wood
OF the present seasons growth. Since
the work of budding ia done during
the season q active growth, the bud
sticks are prepared SO that the petiole
or stem of each leaf is left attached
to serve as handle to aid in pushing
the bud home when inserting 1t be-
meath the bark of the stock This
is what is usually called shield bud.
1t is cut SO that small portion Of
the woody tissue of the branch Is re-
moved with the bud. The bud stick
and method of cutting is shown in
the accompanying figure by Prof. Cor
bett.
The stock for budding should be at
least as thick as an ordinary lead
pencil. With apple and pear. second
seasons growth will be necessary to
develop this size, while with peach. a
single season will suffice; hence.
peach stocks can be budded the same
scsnon the pits are planted. Conse-
quently the peach is left until as late

far as to use it ~ substitute for all
modes Of grating. save whip grating,
in the propagation of the dwarf pear.
Budding is economical in the amount
Of wood used from which to take buds.
In this method. single bud does the
work of two or three or more upon
the scion used in grating. But while
1t Is economical Of wood. it is ex-
pensive in the use of stocks, a seeding
being required for each tree. while.
with the piece-roots system Of graft
ing, two, three or more stocks can be
made from single Seeding.
The operation of budding is simple,
and can be done with great speed by
expert builders. The expense of the
nneration is. therefore, not more than
