What- ever the covering is to be there is One rule that must he observed and that is to cover the entire stack. Not the t0p Only, but the sides as well must le protected. How often we see stacks partially protected by a roofing which comes partly over the sloping sides. Reason should not need the in- dorsement of experience to show the folly of such a method. Such protec- tion is worse than none at all. While the center of the stack is protected the constant action of the accumulated water at the bottom of the covering the stack and then secured by hang- ing light Weights to wires over the top of the stack this affords an adequate covering to keep out all moisture. “hen the long grass is not to be ob- tained we have found nothing better and cheaper than the hay itself propel“ ly stacked. \Vlth clover hay or hay with any proportion of clover in it. some artificiai covering is absolutely necessary to insure against serious loss.

If Properly laid well down the sides of Every winter there is a large loss in wasted hay from the tops and sides of stacks which have been left poorly protected against the rains and snow. We have known almost one-fourth of clover stocks to be unfit for feeding when by- proper protection there would have been no loss at all. It seems very unsatisfactory to lose such an amount of hay after all the work of securing it has been expended and the cost of raising it has gone into the crop. It means not merely a loss of money as well. In What way can we provide against this loss when com- Delled to stack the hay instead of put- ting it into the barn or shed? What is the best protection may depend upon 1 In this latitude, winter killing of the fruit buds of the peach is usually due to the unfavorable effects of freez- ing, after they have been stimulated into growth by warm weather during winter or early spring. It is seldom that the temperature drOps sufficient 1y low to injure dormant peach buds. Peach fruit buds may safely endure a temperature of 10 or 3:20 degrees lge- low zero, provided they mature well in autumn, are entirely dormant. and the cold weather comes on gradually. Zero weather may kill fruit buds that have swollen during previous warm days, or that were not properly ripen- ed in autumn. The early swelling and growth of the buds is due to the warmth they receive from the sun on bright days is practically independent of root action, and may take place on warm, sunny days in winter, while the roots are frozen and dormant. “Layering” or bending down the trees in autumn and covering them with earth, has proven beneficial. Shading the trees 'ith board sheds, en- abled peach buds survive the win- ter uninjured, when 80 per cent of un- protected buds were killed. Trees pro- tected in this way, blossomed later. re- mained in bloom longer. set more fruit in proportion to the number of appar- ently perfect flowers and held their fruit better than any other trees on the station grounds. This is the most effective means of winter protection tried at the station. but it is probably too expensive for commercial orchards. The second method is the extenmin- ation of the blight; germs, whit-h seems to be the only direct remedy. This is done by cutting out and burning all blighted pm‘ticns 01' the trees. Every tree of the pome family, includingthe apple, pear, quince, crab, mountain ash. service berry, and hawthorn. should be treated in the same manner. ’arti:-u~ lar attention should be paid to the ac- tive blight of late autumn. cutting it gout and burning the branches bett‘ire , spring arriv -s.

A thorough inspection needs to be made in the late fall for any branch- es showing blight. After those are our. The following is a treatment for pear blight: First. aim to put the tree in a condition to render it the least liable to attack. This means to so manure and cultivate that the tree will not. grow rapidly. Thus the more a tree is fed the worse it will fare when attacked. by the blight. Trees that are highly fertilized with nitro- genous manures are esyecially liable to blight. In short. overstimulation with manuros is to be avoided. Good tillage in the same way, while it makes a. tree bear, also tends to increase the susceptibility to ‘blight. Anything that retards the growth is beneficial so far as tne disease IS concerned. The orchardist must stimulate by manures and cultivate sufficiently to give a. good crop and shun that which will do more. Soil and situation will de- termine largely whether sad or cultiâ€" vated may be best to resist the blight. I have notiood for a. number of 3'9 are that spot disease of the ch9rr3' is very much mor9 frequent in nursories and old ore herds and places where the dis- euso has been known for yeais.

CHEAP MEAT IN AUSTRALIA. “5‘0 30 B‘Cavl.' DV\luL,-(â€",u, Plum rot attacks many varieties of the cultivated red plum when ripe or nearly ripe. and frequently when half grown. Some seasons i; is very severe during the flowering period, especially during moist and miny wea- ther. The fungus attacks the petals stamens and pistil. Soon the whole branch becomes affected. In a few days not a single healthy flower will remain, and hence crop failure. (‘areful observation will show that it starts from certain parts of the tree where the old attacked plums are hanging on the tree... The object. lesson is plain. Remove all the diseased plums in the fall. Rubbish heaps containing the Spores of fungi are too often neglected. They should be burned. Pear blight may be lessened by the exercise of a little precaution on the part. of horticulturists. If. all the dead and blighted branches are cut off in the. winter and the trees washed with a. solution of copper sulphate the amount is greatly reduced. as is well known, is connected with the rust occurring on the crab apple.
