g^ticuUutal. The Diseases of Trees- It is with not a little surprise that we look upon the number of letters inquiring about diseased trees, that have accumula ted upon our hands. It is the opprobrium of scientiii; horticulture that 60 little has been done to investigate the subject of plant diseases. We have read about all that has been written on the subject, have talked with the most experienced promo logists East and West, and find that there is really little postive information extant. All admit the existence of certain maladies, and attempts have been made to enumerate them. A recent work on horticulture gives us Latin names for these tree troubles ; though it may gratify the inquiring mind to know that freezing is congelatw, and that decay is caries —we are unable to see that it adds much to our knowledge. Among the causes assigned for the unhealthy con dition of our trees, some are sensible and others absurd. It is a very common thing fur the would be scientific, to attribute phe nomena they cannot explain to electricity— and this agent has been the refuge of sev eral of those who have written upon the diseases of plants. We have one letter be fore us from a photographer—who, taking a photographic view of the subject,is quite sure that the pear blight is due to the ef fect of the sudden light of flashes of light ning in a dark night—th ugh he fails to tell us why this affects one tree, and leaves another of the same variety, next to it, un touched. Jn discussing this subject, we must recollect that all fruit trees are, in a measure,unhealthy ; that the larger or finer our apples and pears, the more they have departed from the natural condition. This being the case, we ought not to look for perfect health in every cultivated variety. As to our ability to cure diseased trees by any medication, wc doubt if it will ever be attained. To many who writes us with the view that wc can prescribe something to cure their trees, we must confess our ina bility to do so. If good feediug will not help them, together with drainage, we fear that the case is hopeless. Want of vigor el- health is often due to a lack of alkaline matter in the soil, and benefit is often expe rienced from a free use of lime or ashes— but this is fertilization and not medication. Some of the most serious troubles, such as bark bursting and crackiug, are due to changes of temperature beyond our control. The selection of varieties that mature their wood early,and the use of low headed trees, r ither than those with long and naked stems, are the best preventatives against these troubles. As to the leaf blight, that as yet remains a mystery. Until its real nature is understood, we must act empi rically, and cut severely whenever it ap- i pears, even if it takes the tree down to the j ground. Onr pomological societies have,as a general thing, given too much attention to the quality of fruit, to the neglest of tiie character of the tree. Of late years there has beeD an improvement in this respect.— We have good fruits enough, now let us go in for healthy trees. — American Agricultur ist. Management of Oalves in Tall and Winter. MR. MIXER There is one thing of great importance, that is frequently lost sight of, or rather neglected,by farmers in general ; that is, the proper care and manage ment of calves, through the fall and wiu- ; ter mouths. The general practice, after i weaning a calf, is to let it shift for itself ! until snow falls, then to put it into a yard,! or an open s ed, and let it pass the winter, ; and if it lives, all right, and if it dies, it is j generally said, '"that is my luck, I never | could raise a calf." Now, such treatment is not only wrong, but very unprofitable, to j say the least of it. After weaning j'our ! calves, put them where they can have good feed, and pure water. Keep them thriving, if you have to feed them a small quantity of shorts, or ground feed daily. The better the condition you can get them in before winter, the easier you will keep them in good order. Have a good warm stable for them, fl ed them all the good hay they can eat, and do not forget to give them a daiiy allowance of grain. One pint of ground b ed, to each calf, will pay a laige profit on the investment made. Keep them clean, free from all vermin, for you will find it far cheaper to winter a calf that is clear of lice, than one that is infected with them. There are always master calves in every lot, —sep- arate them from the flock by themselves, then the weaker ones will have a fair chance for themselves. Clean the calf stable, and keep it well littered with straw ; and do not let the manure and litter accumulate, until it is a good day's work to clean it out, as it engenders disease. It is better to give them warm drink daily—the slops from the house, —such as the dish water,the water wherein meats and vegetables have been boiled. They like it, and will do well on it, and it is far better for them than to let them go to the brook to drink cold wa ter, and then stand and shiver ft r hours.— My views may differ from others in the management of calves through the winter, and I should like to have the opinions of those that are better versed in the subject ; so, gentlemen, readers of the Rural, let us have your experience and views, s. E. C. in Rural American. Wattsburg, Pa. Orchard and Nursery. In December there is little to add to the notes for November. Whenever the weath er will allow the work there indicates to be done, do it. In mild seasons, or in South ern localities, ground for the orchard may be plowed and subsoiled. If nothing can be done to facilitate spring operations, see that no harm comes to trees alreadv plan ted. Fences and Gaits must bo looked after,and put iu a condition to keep domestic animals out of young orchards. They will either browse or bark the trees, and do more dam age in a few hours than will l>e regained in all of next year's growth. Rabbits and mice, among wild animals, of ten do serious damage. The best way to keep off rabbitts is, to sprinkle blood upon the trees. Leave no rubbish near young trees to harbor mice, and trample snow down so hard that they can not work under it. Cions may he cut whenever the wood is not frozen. Saw-dust or damp moss are better packing than sand, for the reason that they come out free from grit. The ob ject should be to preserve the natural mois ture,and not keep them any damper or dry er than they would be if left upon the tree. Afurstry the heading hack and shaping of young trees is carried on in mild weath er, and when the weather is inclement, the hands are occupied in-doors in root grafting. In grafting, too much care cannot be exer cised,and it is well to work at only one va riety at a time to avoid all possibility of mixing kinds. See that surface drains are opened to carry water away from young trees, and that no water stands around stocks that have been heeled-in THREE things that never agree—two cats over one mouse, two wives in one house and two lovers after one young lady.
