I'm the black knots so characteris-
tic of the disease. 1t takes approxi-
mately two years for the fungus to
complete its development I'm the tree
that is, from the time the spores
first lodge on the twig until the knots
have matured and their last crop of
spores has been distributed. says III.
II. Whetzel, plant pathologist, writing
in the Rural New Yorker.
The period Of infectlon-that is. the
time when the tree may take the dis
ease-is probably from May to July.
The knots do not appear on the limbs
until the following spring. when In
the month of April or May they burst
forth and i'm June become covered
with green felt upon which are pro-
duced great numbers Of summer
spores or conidia. These are scattered
by the wind and produce new infcc-
tlons in June and July. The knots
then gradually become blacN i'm colcr
nnd in March or April Cf
year produce another set o,
minute pockets all over the SITface o
the knots. These so called winter
spores are distributed I'm May or June.
causing another new set OF infections.
It is thus evident that the knot may
cause new infections for two years ln
succession. These knots are not caus-
ed by insects, as is very often sup
posed
The most satisfactory means OF con-
trolling this disease consists OF sur
gical operatiOn-namely. removal OF all
limbs and twigs bearing knots. cutting
at least three or four inches below the
knot in every case. The proper time
for cutting out the knots Is early In
the spring, say not later than May,
and again In the fall as soon AS the
leaves are or the trees.
Permanent relief from the trouble
cannot be expected unless an effort Is
made to eradicate the disease from the
entire neighborhood. at least for con
siderable distances In the direction OF
the prevailing winds. Old cherry and
plum trees should be very carefully
pruned out and put In shape or else
cut down and destroyed. All knots
should be burned promptly after cut
ting from the tree.

Serious Accident Narrowly Ayerted.

Esq. and Mrs. II. c. MeCracken
were thrown from their buggy in
Central City about Q o'clock last
Sunday morning, but luckily escap-
cd with only a few bruises and
scratches. They were driving over
to see their son, Harry and family,
and as they came in town an auto
mobile came up behind them at a
rapid gait, causing the horse to shy,
swinging the vehicle into a ditch,
upsetting the buggy and throwing
the occupants out. The termination
of the affair is fortunate, and it was
a narrow escape.

ScabieS.

A more common but less euphon
ious name of this trying affection is
the itch. This name is most apt,
for 1t would be difficult to mention
anything in the way of skin disease
that causes more intense and violent
itching. 1t is due to the presence
10 the skin of mite called acarus
scabiei or sarcoptes hominis,
very minute creature, hardly more
than visible to the naked eye, vet
q wonderful and !atricate 29a,oni-
cal structure.
1t is only the female that gives
trouble, the male being an inoffens
i've creature enough. The mite
bores into the skin and then eats her
way along under the surface, laying
her eggs in the burrow she has made.
They are then kept warm by the
unwilling victim and hatched out in
due course in this human incubator.
The mite is not at all grateful,
however, for this tender care given
to her young. She shows her in
gratitude by emitting an irriIant
fluid, which causes the annoying
itching.
The suffering occurs chiefly at
night. The hands and wrists are
the parts most affected, especially
the inner sides OF the fingers; but
other parts may become involved BY
being scratched or rubbed by the
hands. No social class is exempt
from the disease, although, as in all
parasitic diseases, the dirty and care
less are those most liable to infec-
tion.
The disease is contagious, being
acquired by more or less close con-
tact with those who have it as in
schools or families, or from clothing
or bed linen. This explains why
one who has been cured frequently
suffers a relapse. The clothing,
especially the gloves and the pockets
contain the mites, which take the
earliest opportunity to leave these
uncongenial quarters and seek again
the comfortable skin.
The only treatment of any avail
is that which kills the mites and
destroys the burrows filled with their
eggs. This is effected by scrubbing
the skin with a hard brush and
strong soap-suds, followed by the
application of sulphur In some form.
The treatment should always be
carried out by a physician, foI
considerable judgment is required
to make the applications effectual,
yet not so energetic or so long con
tinued as to set up an inflammation
of the skin.
To prevent recurrence, all the
affected members of family ol
school should be treated at The
same time, for one left untreated is
almost sure to reinfect those who
have been cured. All nnderclolhinl
and bed linen should be thoroughly
boiled, and outer clothing dry
cleaned or baked. As an additional
precaution, the insi les of the pocket:
should be ironed with very hol
iron.
