It would do no harm to set young fruit trees In the holes where the old i.ncs aro taken out, but, other things being equal, It would be Just as well to dig new boles in spnees do- tween the old trees after they have been cut down or pulle-d tip. Answer- lug a question along this line, tha Rural New Yorker advises digging a vide hole two feet or moro a diameter iind eight to twelve Inches deep, as may bo needed, placing the rich or ton sell In one pile ard tha subsoil In another. Cut out all nroKcn or injurou roots from tho trees to bo set, and freshen tho ends of tho sound roots with a slanting cut from b.Mowr upward, so that tlie fresh surface will rest on the soil.

i Brown Rot Amoiifl Moot Deotructlvs cf Funai on Trees Prevails During Warm Weather. (Rv n. a. Tlif brown rot I'unRiiH Ih among; th iiinRt destructive of iiio fiiiinl on the peach, yielding plnre only at times to l')if -curl. I'nllUe leaf-cmi the brown rot prevails during warm, showery wqathor, and with such a weB'hcr period 1b likely to net ur ot any time of the year.

In April, If tho mummy peaches are permitted to remain on the tree from th preceding year, tha fungus may uffeet the twltf through the Uoasoms and ihus causa serious twig blight. It Is a matter of common remark that the branches uixin which rotted peat bos are found often pcllMl from effeot of the rot funguB. The survival of the fungus tbeso "mummy" fruits and the production of nsconpores from them are well proven. No one variety seems more susceptible to rot than others, although pome sorts are more liable to ripen during rainy weather and then rot worne. The control of rot demands: First, careful removal and destruction of all mummy rotted peai lies In whb the fungus survives; second, thorough spraying of the trees before blossoming as for leaf-curl; third, sulisetpient spray treatment self-boiled lirncHulfur may bo profitable under certain conditions.

The leaf curl fungus Is at times one of tho serious pests of tho peach grower. However destructive leaf- curl does not occur every year. The curl fungus survive in the buds from year to year. It is therefore present each seascn, though possibly In varying amount. Ieaf curl usually comes when cool weather, with frequent rains, prevails during March, April, May and Juno.

It Is to the April Rotted and Dried Peaches. weather that the most serious troubla seems attributable. With low tern- features and frequent rains during lne "ay OI lDal 1,101,1,1 we muy solely predict nn ouioreuK oi ieai- cnrl. During such weather tho fungus develops rapidly and the new leaves aro effected sb they are protruded from the bud. In ft modified sense the same takes plaeo during May and In a still more limited sense during June.

Successful prevention of leaf- curl Is secured by thorough early treat ment with bordeaux mixture. Indeed, it aptears that a spraying at any time shortly before tho blossoms open Is several times more effective than any i application afterward. It appears that more effective results are secured by spraying two weeks before blossoming than immediately before the blossoms open. In any event an ap plication made Just before the blos- i soms open is more effective than at eny luter date. Lime sulphur applications for scale insects are effective to prevent leaf-curl.

Tho purpose of tho article was to show that reciprocity was to be desired. This Is a question that I do not propose to deal with, preferring to leave It to others who have mado ft greater study of that economic question than I have. Tho point to bo considered Is, with tho high price of binds In the United States, and with ti3 much, lower priced lands of Can ada, and their ability to produen probably snore abundantly, Is It not well for the United States farmer to take advantage of tho opportunity Canada afTords with Its lower-priced lands and take a part In supplying the needs of tho United States, which It is quite apparent, must come sooner or later? It is probable there cro now about SOO.000 American farmers in Western Canada, cultivating large farms, and becoming rich, In the growing of 25- nd 30-bushel-to-the-acre-wbeat, In producing largo yields of oats and barley, and In raising horses and cattlo cheaply on tho 'wild prairie grasses that are there, both succulent and abundant.

All theso find a ready market at good prices. Amongst the Americans wbo have made their homes In Canada are to bo found colonies cf Scandinavians, and all are doing well.

Writing from Turtle Lake, Saskatchewan, he says: "I came up hero from Fergus Falls, October 24th, 1910, and thought I would let you know bow I have been getting along.

"There is a lot of land yet that has not been taken and room for many settlers, and we wish you would send some settlors up here, as there are fine prospects for them, especially for those who have a llttla money to start with. Send them here to Turtlo Lake, and we ill show them tho land, If they have secured plats, showing tho vacant lands, at tho Dominion Lands office in Battlcford.

John Adams has always been ab sent minded, says the Kansas City Journal. Yesterday he went with Ida Lee of Kansas City, to Kansas City. to be married by Paul Huff, acting probate Judge. When Judge Huff asked him if he would "take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife," he was looking out of tho window and didn't answer. "If you've any doubts about It we will stop right here," the bride said defiantly.

Adams protested that he had not hesitated at all, but had merely been thinking about something else. The ceremony was completed without further hitch. shake into Torn Biiors Allen's rwt- Hie. AitUi-itic for Tired, woiteti, norroua fi-l. Olret rwit al cuuifurt.
