FREEZING OF TREES.
The Danger Limit For Most Varieties
of Apples,


There Is always an upper and low
er limit of temperature which giver
species or variety Of plant can with
stand. When we get below 80 degrees
F. we reach the danger limit for most
varieties of apples, and the records at
Orono (Me.) experiment station show
that we reached this limit in January
1907. twice within few days of each
other.
II Thawing Is Rapid.
When n tree freezes. water Is with
drawn from the cells and cell walls
forming crystals in the intercellular
spaces. If the tissues thaw gradually
the water Is reabsorbed and less dam.
age is likely to result. If the thawing
Is rapid the injury will be more seri-
Gus. Thawing is more dangerous than
freezing, and the less moisture a plant
contains at the time of a frost the
better it is able to withstand low tenn
peratures. Injury from long continued
IOlu NtdNucl may NC uut dioiic W thc
continued scarcity of water in the cells
resulting from its extraction by frost
Snow a Protection.
We cannot explain why some indi-
viduals or varieties are more hardy
than others. The reason that trees on
exposed situations very frequently suf-
fer less than those on low ground may y
possibly be due to two factorS-frSt,
cold air drains off, and the slopes sci,
dom record as low temperatures as
the valleys; second, the snow came
early last year. before the ground
froze, and remained on all winter On
the exposed situations, on account Of
the snow melting or blowing off, there
was less protection from snow, and
soil and roots were chilled down early
in the season. The roots of such trees
would be less active in the winter, and
hence probably the tissues would con
tain less moisture at the time of the
freeze. This in measure may possi-
bly, account for their resistance.
Since we cannot control the weather
we cannot entirely prevent winter kill
ing. The danger can be lessened by
planting only such varieties as are
hardy or withstand winter killing to a
marked degree. - Professor Morse In

PEACH LEAF CURL.
Causes and Remedies Discussed In
Cornell University Bulletin.

Cornell University Bulletin.
Bulletin 2T6 of the Cornell university
agricultural experiment station give
the distribution, cause and control OF
that common disease known as the
peach curl.
No peach seems immune to the dis
ease, and most growers report that
the Elberta is the most susceptible TO
II.
The symptoms are easily recognized
The leaves become not only abnormal
" swollen, thickened and distorted
but curl and become sickly yellow in
color, often tinted with red. After a
few weeks these leaves fail from the
trees, In severe cases leaving them
nearly or quite denuded Of foliage and
that at time Of the year when the
tree can III afford to lose them, 1t is
true that Il new crop of leaves is soon
produced, but this effort Of nature to
repair the loss is Il heavy drain on the
vitality of the tree. The disease often
affects the shoots, causing them to
swell and cease growth and even in
some cases kills them.
This disease is caused by fungus
that lives as parasite in the affected
parts. 1t enters the young leaves and
shoots very early in the development
and opening Of the bud in the spring

mer as a result Of previous winter in
jury to the barh OF the main root ,ust

may be brought about by yellows, bor-
ers and severe mechanical injury or
girdling. ng.-Photograp From Bulletin New
Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station, ]
For this reason all efforts to control 1t
are most effective If made before the
buds begin to swell in the spring
The important factors in the control
Of this disease seem to be Q) time Of
application, (2) thoroughness and (3)
the fungicide used. This statement rep
resents also the order OF importance Of
these three factors.
The time Of the application is any
time within month before the buds
begin to swell and before rain periods,
not after.

HON EsTY.

There are men who do not di-
vide actions merely into those
that are honest and those that
are not, but create third subdi-
yision-that of law honesty, OF
that kind of honesty which con-
sists in keeping clear Of the pen
itentiary. - The distinction
upon which we must insist Is the
vital, deep lying, Interchangeable
distinction between the honest
man and the dishonest man.
- There are men who use
the phrase practical politics as
merely euphemism for dirty
politics. and 1t is such men who
have brought the word "politi-
clan" into discredit. There are
other men who use the noxious
phrase business is business as
an excuse for every kind of
mean and crooked work, and
these men make honest Ameri-
cans hang their heads because
of some of the things they do.

CANNING STRING BEANS.
Here Are Some Pointers Of Practical
Value to Housewives.

owing to their composition green
string beans are practically liable to
fermentation, as they are inviting to
the bacteria that causes this process.
For this reason they are best canned
by the sterilization method, which, al
though ii requires a little more time,
is many times. more satisfactory than
any other. II is accomplished i'm the
following manner:
Select young and tender beans,
string them, and break them into short
lengths Pack them firmly i'm the jars,
cover them with cold water and add
one teaspoonful of salt to each quart
Put on the rubber and the top and boil
for one hour on each of three success
sive days. At the end of the hour re-
move the cover of the boiler and al
low the steam To escape. Press down
the spring or tighten the lid on the
jars. according to the kind used, TO
prevent any outside air from entering.
The jars can be removed and cooled or
allowed to stay i'm the boiler still tne
next day.
ON the second day loosen the lid
again. This will relieve any pressure
from steam that might accumulate in
side the jar during the second cooking
Place the jars again I'm the boiler and
boil for one hour.
Repeat the operation the third day
In removing the jars from the boiler
care should be taken not to expose
them To a draft of cold air while they
are hot, as a sudden change i'm temper
ature is likely to crack the jars. The
lids should be tighteened securely. If
spring tops are used II is easy to test
the completeness of the steriliZing pro-
cess. This is done by releasing the
spring at the side of the jars and pick
ing up the jar by the top If there
has been the least bit Of decomposi-
tion, or If the sterilization has not been
complete the top will come off. This
i9 because pressure on the top has
been released by the gas formed by
the bacteria.

FADS IN TABLE LINEN.

bination.
For pretty "dressy" luncheon sets
and afternoon tea sets the plain ma
tcrial is the thing, for it shows to ad-
vantage the elaborate embroidery of
the monograms and the other decora-
tions.
Both hcmstitching and scallops are
much used but at present, the seal
loped edges are preferred.
Many of the embroidered mono-
grams are surrounded with wrcaths or
garlands.
The bride who has any talent with
her needle may add some lovely pieces
to her linen chest at very small ex-
pense.
one clever girl has just gone to her
mothers old trunk and brought out
several very fun skirts which were
stored away new intended for future
wear but never worn.
These she cut out into doilies and
mas material for a dozen for which
she has paid nothing but the stamp
ing.
Unless lace is used on the set, fine
quality of linen should be used.
when trimmed the heavier qualities
which housekeepers know as crash or

ly effective, appears in the corner OF
