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

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.

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.
