ECZEMA SEEMED INCURABLE.
Body was Raw-Discharged from

Remedies Cured Him.

"From the age Of three months until
fifteen years old, my son Ovens life was
made intolerable by eczema in its worst
form. In spite of treatments the disease
gradually spread until nearly every part Of
his body was quite raw. He used to tear
himself dreadfully in his sleep and the
agony he went through is quite beyond
words. The regimental doctor pronounced
the case hopeless. We had him in hos
pitfalls four times and he was pronounced
one of the worst cases ever admitted.
From each he was discharged as incurable.
We kept trying remedy after remedy, but
had gotten almost past hoping for cure.

marvellous and to-day he is perfectly cured.

PREPARE THE SOIL.
Doing Fall Flowing for Spring Setting
Of Trees.

Land for apple orchards must be
well prepared. if the orchards are to
be given chance to make satisfac-
tory growth. Where trees are to be
set In the spring, the land should be
prepared as far as possible this fall
Deep plowing will stir up the soil to
considerable depth, and this Is nee.
essary in the case of apple trees that
should be given chance to root deep
The land should also be heavily
manured this fall, at time of plowing,
that the manure may have chance
to rot before being drawn upon by
the roots of the trees, says the Farm
ers' Review. If the land is plowed
early in the fall 1t can be cross-plowed
late in the fall and thus the sod be
thoroughly pulverized. This will in
deed allow some teaching, but we must
look for some drawback with every
condition. We can stand little leach.
ing better than we can put trees into
newly turned ground.
1t is the universal experience of
orchardists that most orchard land is
not prepared as well beforehand as it
should be. This advanced prepara-
ton is necessary because when the
trees are once set the soil around the
roots must not again be disturbed In
the case Of most farm crops the land
can be turned up every year and fer
tility worked in, but this is not the
case with orchard trees.

THE ORCHARD.

Orchardists should pay more atten-
tion to their blackcap raspberry crops.
This berry is growing very scarce of
late, probably from neglect Such a
plantation will steadily increase in
value.
The apple growers of Oregon and
Washington often ship their products
several thousand miles and apparently
make good profits. In view of this fact
1t is astonishing why the average west
ern farmer cannot make his orchard
pay. Perhaps it is the thought and
care put into each package of fruit
that tells the tale.
1t is generally the case where
onions have been left to go to seed the
seeds will soon sprout up freely on
that ground. Very often they come up
in a manner and so thick that they are
a weed pest and may be killed by stir
ring the ground with cultivator, wheel
hoe or common hand hoe. When
onions thus come from seed in the
field they are generally worse directly
over the old rows and are a serious
menace to the production OF the best
onions especially when the Welsh
onions Sre the crop.

FALL CULTIVATION OF ORCHARD.
Care Must Be Taken Lest II Prove In
furious to Trees.

Fall cultivation of orchards is some
times injurious and sometimes not.
The effects depend on seye, al condi-
tions. Fall cultivation in orchards has
been objected to, because it is re-
puted to start fall growth of wood
that does not have time to harden be-
fore the time of the final stoppage Of
growth. That leaves lot of soft
wood to go into winter in a shape un-
fitted to stand the cold
IL is only the cultivation of early
fall that Injuries trees III this way,
says Farmers Review. After the
leaves get old and get ready - fall.
cultivation cannot start new growth
This effect can only take place if the
cultivation is early enough to furnish
an abundant food supply at the time
the leaves are very active in elaborat-
ing food for the development of wood.
We do not believe that fall cultiva-
ton is desirable in most of our north
ern latitudes, even when the cultiva-
tion is given so late that it cannot
possibly start a new growth of wood.
The cultivation stirs up the soil and
permits the frost to go deeper than
1t otherwise would. If the winter
chance to be a cold one, with little
snow, frost will strike so deep that
the roots will be frozen, and this may
result in the destruction of the trees.
The harder and tirmer the ground,
the less is the depth that the frost will
be able to penetrate.

SAVING ORCHARDS FROM SCALE.
Old Orchards Can Be Preserved from
Attack of Pest.

Investigations carried on at the New
York experiment station at Geneva
convince the authorities that old or
chards can be preserved from at
tacks Of the San Jose scale. In bull
letin 296 the investigators assert:
OF the various sprays that have
been tested, the sulphur wash and the
homemade oil emulsions have, on the
basis of efficiency, economy and safety
to the trees, proven the most satisfac-
tory remedies. OF the two, the oil
emulsions have generally been some
what more efficient than the sulphur
wash in the treatment of old apple
trees, and excellent results have been
obtained with light treatment of
the emulsion on trees previously
sprayed with the lime-sulphur wash, to
reach the scales or the young wood.
Either of these sprays singly or the
emulsion supplementing an applica-
tion of the sulphur wash, If thoroughly
applied, can be depended on to control
the scale.
