Only Remedy Known.

There is but one remedy known
at the present time and that is the
constant use of pruning knife and
saw. All of the effected shoots,
limbs or twigs as well as the effected
fruit, which shows any signs of this
disease should be cut off at once and
burned. The cut should be made
some five or ten inches below the
effected parts, and after each cut the
knife or saw should be disinfected by
dipping it into a solution of kerosene
or of carbolic acid"

REMEDY FOR BLIGHT

Fruitgrowers and orchardists, and
all owners of fruit trees in general
are warned of impending dangers to
their orchards through the ravages
of a disease known as pear or fire
blight and which is known to prevail
to- some extent in the state at pre-
sent. While the presence of the
damaging disease has not yet threat
cned any serious damage, yet it is
known that many orchards have al
ready felt the sting of Tie blight
and radical steps are necessary at
once to prevent the further spread
of the affliction.
The blight not orIy attacks pear
trees, but from cases reported to
the state Horticultural department
she last week, apple trees, in many
instances are suffering, and in a few
cases the fruit Itself bears the marks
OF blight.

Nature of the Diseas.
This disease IS comcnly known as
pear or fire blight says J. U. Nc
Pherson, state horticultural inspector
1T is a contagious, bacterial disease
and its effects are worse upon pear
trees than airy other fruit, but this
year it has done considerable damage
to the pear, ounce and the apple, as
veil as fruits of the same.
1T attacks and rapidly kills the
blossoms, young fruit and new twigs,
and rurs down the iiYiEg bark to the
larger limbs, and from there on 10
the trunk Of the tree. While this
disease rarely kills the leaves, it
does kill the stems. and eventually
the leaves will die from the attack
upon the LIMBS
"The part of the tree that is kill
ed by the blight is the inner bark
and the cambium layer. When the
bark of the limb is killed the whole
limb soon dies, but where the limb is
simply girdled by the disease it
may send out leaves again next sea-
son and then die. The parts of the
tree below the parts reached by the
blight are healthy The work of
the blight and the severity of it
yaries according to the weather and
climatic conditions.
How It Operates.
Sometimes it attacks only the bios
som clusters, or perhaps only the
young tips of the growing twigs.
Sometimes it runs down on the
main branches and trunk, and again
l. extends down only few inches
from the point of attack. The sud
den collapse of the foliage on blight
cd branches is evidence Of the work
OF tie blight The rate that this
disease progresses will vary according
to the weather. 1t will travel as
far as from two to three inches from
the point of attack in one day. but
has been known to travel rs much as
a foot. Warm moist weather is con-
ductive to the development of the
disease.
Work of Wasps and Flies
Bees, wasps and flies are me1i-
um by which blight is carried from
tree to tree. Whonover a tree is.
blighted there is a certain amount of
or gum that will come out
in and around the effected, parts, and
the different insects in walking a
bout on this gum. and flying from
there to uninfected parts will infect
other trees by earring this disease

Story of a sauerkraut Factory.
From Leslie's.


A simple illustration Of how apparent
waste may be utilized Is shown by the
story of ''sauerkraut" factory on Long
Island. In the manufacture Of this Ger,
man delicacy the juice Is pressed out Of
the cabbages. and, as the Vegetables are
about CO per cent water or juice. the
waste was more than one-half. This juice
was allowed to go to waste. 1t was
an industrial chemist who collected this
juice and discovered that 1t" contained
much decomposed vegetable matter.
There was an organic acid in the juice
that seemed worth recovering. and by
concentration and filtration the acid was
obtained and refined Today this organic
acid forms an important factor In the
tanning Of skins and In all textile manu-
featuring. At first thought 1t would seem
as if the "sauerkraut'' industry was too
small to be of Importance In recovering
such an insignificant by-product. but
there are alone on Long Island upward
of twenty such factories. and each one
uses some 100000 pounds Of cabbages
From each factory there is recovered to-
day SO.CG0 gallons OF juice. or. in all. L.
JOO,0 600 gallons Of waste. Multiply these
figures by ten, and We begin to get an
idea of what this factory economy means
for there are similar factories around
Chicago, ST. Louis and many other large
cities.

"

Ever since that interesting architec.
tural feature of a room. its fireplace. was
supplanted by ugly cast-iron registers or
radiators, the heating engineer who secs
to these latter has been at war with the
architect. The man who installs the new
system generally insists that. for EN-
cheney, its outlets, whether radiator Or
register. must be placed In the most
prominent spot in the room. This the
architect, being hampered by an imagina-
tion. says a recent writer. opposes. and
suggests an unobtrusive corner or under
a window. seat. or else that he be allowed
to convert the cast-iron monstrosity into
an attractive bit of design.
But that would not make good heat

mind uginess and a comfortable tenn

For long years he tyrannized' over ps.
the writer adds, till some audacious archi-

stalling the engineers complaint that
the interstices were smaller, the architect
increased the whole surface OF the outlet
so that the .same amount of vent was
obtained as through the average cast
iron stock size register. The heating
engineer looked dubious. but the inhab-
itants OF the. house have not frozen to
