BLACK ROT.


Black rot is the most destructive
fungus disease of the grape.
This fungus gains entrance to the,
grape by means of minute germs or
spores. These are in small black
cases, not visible to the naked eye.
They float in the atmosphere, and
when they come in contact with their
hostile grape, either fruit or leaves
they proceed to grow, forming red
dish brown spots on the foliage or
vines and of darker or black color on
the fruit. These spread and soon af-
feet the entire berry, destroying it
entirely, leaving the grape berry all
shriveled up in hard, worthless,
dried-up tissue and seed. Five, six
or seven sprayings (according to the
humidity Of the season. with Bor-
deaux will effeetually control the dis
ease; or three sprayings with these
newer lime-sulphur solutions is said
also to control it at greatly reduced
cost of material and Indian

LESS WATER.

More narrowing and less water on
the land is advocated by Professor
Cyrus L. Smith, practical fruit
grower and veteran institute lecturer
OF Eastern Washington, to produce
the best results in upland orchards.
He also favors thinning the fruit to
secure uniformity in size and to pre-
vent overproduction. thus assuring
crops yearly. BY keeping the ground
free from weeds and narrowing once
a week during the growing season.
thus making mulch of the dry sur
face earth, the natural moisture can
be conserved sufficiently to grow fruit
that will command the best markets.

one idea Of Farm Life.

Many people nowadays ask II farm
ing pays. Very often 1t does. But
let me say that profitable farming is
as mnch profession and at times as
much OF gamble as high finance.
When you lose hundreds OF dollars on
dry season such as this has been
you come to realize that. If you are
making $40 per on a high ONCE stool.
move to the country II you can, for
a fiat is not as good place for hui
man beings to live in. But next time
the boss has a crouch don't sass him
In the fond belief that Mother Ma
lures bounty awaits but the cleaving
ploughshare's blade" she only does
that, hereabouts, in seed catalogues
And that plouShshare cleaves pretty
dinged hard, too. If you do go TO
farming, make it truck farming, near
a city, where you can sell the stuff
from door to door. What will you do
in winter? That's easy. Mend har-
ness or play cards on barrel-head
down to Sis. If your wife kicks at
the 1onotony, point out to her the
grandeur OF the landscapes open
spaces. She can see a lot OF them
while she makes rag carpet at the
kitchen window.--New York World.

The First Use Of Lron.


"The Beginning of Iron,' by DIR.
Ridgeyay, discusses the question Of
the first use of his metal. In Egypt
it can be traced back to the ninth
century B. G., and in Lfbya to about
$50 B. C. First mention of its use
in China goes back to 400 B. c., while
in Uganda it is said to have. been in
use only some five or six centuries
AS a result OF his interesting inves
LEGATIONS DR.. Ridgeway concludes that
the smelling of iron originated in
Central Europe, and especially in the
region known as Noricum, equiva-
lent to modern Austria and Bavaria
The above date for the first use OF
iron in Egypt refers to the metal OBJ
tanned by smelling. The use of ma
tive iron in the form of meteorites
dates back to remote antiquity. The
weapons made from these were OBJ
tanned, like flint implements, by chip
ping. And it is interesting to reunem
Der that recent Investigations have
shown that the iron of many meteo
rites is a sort of natural steel.

PApER-wRAppING GRAPES.

With the return of the season for
the Towering of the grape it cannot
be mentioned too often that every
bunch that is paper wrapped as soon
as it forms is insured against all prob
able mishaps. The attacks of fungus
and Of insects are all prevented, end
ing with fine punches of fruit without
a blemish, and carrying fine bloom on
every bunch. All that is required is
a light paper bag, such as are used in
stores of size that bunch of grapes
will fill. The bag is to be placed over
the bunch 2 q soon as the flowers fall,
the end of lie bag twisted together
and pinned. The cluster of fruit sus-
tains and keeps the bag in place.
Those who grow grapes by the
acre for the purpose of marketing the
fruit rely on sprayings to preserve il,
using compounds which both destroy
insects and fungi, but the amateur
may not have need of spraying out
fit, having, perhaps, but vine or two
and to such person bagging the
clusters will be found very satisfac-
tory. The writer bags his every sea-
son, and when doing it invariably
leaves bunch or two uncovered, Just
that neighbors may have a lesson in
bagging, for as sure as fate not a
good berry will be on the uncovered
ones while the bagged ones have
every berry perfect.--Jos. Meehan. in

ABOUT FRUIT GRoWING.


We are learning that there is econ
omy in planting our orchards in the
most conspicuous location and on the
deepest and most productive soil we
can possibly find on the farm, be-
cause on such soil we get the best re-
suits by fertilizers and in cultivating
and manipulating the soil, including
the pruning and clearing away the
brush. and spraying with the most
improved machinery, of harvesting
and preparing the fruit for canning,
evaporating, marketing or storing,
says the American Cultivator. The
up-to-date apple orchard is one con-
tinued scientific investigation all
through its life history.

FOOD QUESTION
Settled With Perfect Satisfaction by
DyspeptiC.

It's not an easy matter to satisfy
all the members of the family at meal
time, as every housewife knows.
And when the husband has dyspep-
STA and can't eat the simplest ordi-
nary food without causing trouble,
the food question becomes doubly
annoying.
An Illinois woman writes:
my husbands health was poor, he
had no appetite for anything could
get for him, it seemed.
He was hardly able to work, was
taking medicine continually, and as
soon as he would feel better would
go to work again, only to give up in
few weeks. He suffered severely with
stomach trouble.
Tired of everything l had been
able to get for him to eat, one day
seeing an advertisement about Grape
Nuts, l got some and he tried it for
breakfast the next morning.
Eve all thought it was pretty good,
although we had no idea of using it
regularly. But when my husband
came home at night he asked for
Grape-Nuts.
cit was the same next day, and |
had to get it right along. because
when we would get to the table the
question, Have you any Grape-Nuts? 2
was a regular thing. So began to
buy it by the dozen pkgs.
my husbands health began to i'm
prove right along. l sometimes felt
offended when I'd make something
thought he would like for a change,
and still hear the same old question,
Have You any Grape-Nuts?'
''He got so well that for the last
two years he has hardly lost day
from his work, and we are still using
Grape-Nuts." Read the book. "The

Snake Meets Retrihution.

Indigestion caused the death of
huge blacksnake, which was found by
Samuel Owens at Bridgeville, Del,
and which, when cut open, was dis
covered to contain a china egg.
For some time Owens had been
missing eggs from the chicken-house,
but was not able to ind the thief
Yesterday, while walking down path
in a meadow lot near home, he mo-
ticed large blacksnake stretched out
in front of him. Examination showed
it had recently died. Owens noticed
a hump in the middle Of the snake
and, being curious as to what it CON
tanned, whipped out his knife and cut
the snake open, when white glass
egg, similar to those used to fool a
hen into laying in a certain nest,
rolled out.
Owens has no doubt but that the
snake was the thief that has been
robbing his Ocean.
Every man is the architect of his
own fortune, and he needs plenty OF
sand.

HOT ONIONS AND PNEUMONIA

Hot onions, according to q French
physician, are said to be a sure cure
for pneumonia. The remedy is as
follows: Take six or ten onions, ac-
cording to size, and chop fine; put
in large pan over a fire, then add
the same quantity of rye meal and
vinegar enough to make thick paste.
In the meantime stir it thoroughly,
letting it simmer for five or ten min
utes. Then put in cotton bag, large
enough to cover the lungs, and APP
ply to the chest as hot as patient can
bear. In about ten minutes apply an
other and thus continue by reheat-
ing the poultiees, and in a few hours
the patient will be out of danger.
This simple remedy has never failed
to cure this too often fatal malady.
Usually three or four applications
will be sufficient Indiana Farmer.
