The Sand Pear.

The sand pear Is the only pear that
is practically free from blight. It Ia
a very rapid and continuous grower.
1t is a prolific bearer and requires less
attention and will stand more abuse
than any other fruit tree known.
The sand pear comes into bearing
at an early age, and at ten years old
ordinary trees will yield from ten to
twenty bushels Of pears. The trees
usually begin to bear at Ave years of
age. The sixth year each tree will
net rs cents. the seventh year 80
cents and the eighth year 81. the
ninth year 81 and the tenth year 81

DESTROY INSECTS IN WINTER
Careful Examination Of Trees viii

coons In Secret Places.

There are several kinds Of insects
that spend the winter on the fruit

state, and while the orchard is young
good work can be done at destroying
them. It does not not require much
time to look over a tree as long as
the inspection can be made from the
ground, says Farmers Review. On
large trees, however, such course is
impracticable.
One species OF canker worm passes
the winter in the egg. Clusters Of
these eggs are to be found on limbs
and twigs from which they can read

contain a hundred or more eggs each

the future can be saved by destroying
them.

laid in clusters by the moth in July
and remain till the following spring.
