What is the pear blight? Until re
cently there were Innumerable theor
ies as to the cause and cure of the
dUease; but through Professors Bur

verm or bacteria, so minute as to re
take the aid f a powerful microscope
to see It
Pear blight is easily distinguished
from other maladies. Limbs affected
br It become dead and black together
vttk the leaves, flowers or fruit they
boar. The injury may be confined to
or to a few limbs, or may grad
ually extend to the whole tree. The
twigs of apples and certain other po
Baceous fruits are also subject to the
disease. The germs of pear blight
are so minute that they are carried
through the air by the slightest wind.
Ifcey seem to be unable to penetrate
heaJthy bark, but gain access to the
totetior of the tree through the blos
som. They light upon the sticky sur
face of the Inside of the flower cup,
and are able to begin developing there
passing down through the stem to the
twig below. . The germs can also gain
ocess through the tips of growing
breaches where the green growth Is

soft and succulent, and, no doubt, they
occasionally enter through cracks In
the bark. ,
After the bacteria have gained ac
cess to the tissues of the trees they
multiply rapidly, and In the course of
a few week have become ao abundant
as to show tholr presence by blacken
Ing the bark or blossoms. As the
disease progresses, Prof. Arthur says,
the germs exude on the surface and
the gummy substance thus produced
is washed off; the gum Is dissolved
and the germs sot free and washed
Into the ground. The germs live and
multiply In the rich mould and grow
all winter or year after year.
In a dry time the wind takes up the
germ into the air, or It may be taken
up by simple evaporation. When the
surface of the tissue Is tender and
moist, as In spring, the air, laden with
these germs over the trees, bring them
in contact with the delicate tissues.
The germs are held there by the mois
ture. The disease thus gets a foot
hold and In the course of a month or
two It shows Itself by the sudden
blackening of the leaves. Insects also
carry the germs to the blossoms.
No successful method of preventing
the disease by artificial applications
to the trees has yet been found. But
it has been shown that If the trees are
carefully watched during the season
of growth, and the affected twigs
carefully cut off (at least a foot below
the lowest point of Injury) and burned
the damage done may be greatly les
sened. My advice as a nurseryman of
15 years experience would be, that
under no consideration should a far
mer buy pear stock that Is Infected
even to the slightest degree. If pear
blight is once Introduced into the
country you may as well write "finis"
so far as the pear Is concerned.

LEASE RAILROAD LAND.
Southern Oregon Lands of O. ft O. to
lie Leased to Stockmen.
Land Included In the grant of the
Oregon ft California railroad, owner
ship of which rests with the company,
is to be leased to owners of contigu
ous lands for grazing and pasturage
purposes, says the Jacksonville Times.
Of the holding of some 2,000,000
acres of lands in Western Oregon
owned by the company, perhaps half
Is open acreage from which the tim
ber has been removed or that was
never timber land, and In either case
is valuable for grazing. Many farmers
with livestock In greater numbers than
can well be taken care of on their own
places will have an opportunity to
utilize adjoining acreage In a more
methodical manner than heretofore,
and under lease that will give legal
control.
Charles W. Eberleln, acting land
commissioner of the Oregon ft Califor
nia Railroad company, has made of
ficial announcement of this policy In
Portland. He says that a great many
applications for leasing lands have
been received at the office of the de
partment, and that It is the intention
to act upon these just as soon as pos
sible. The force of the office has been en
gaged In perfecting records In order
that full Information pertaining to
every tract may be available, and re
vising lists to show the character of
land In each section or subdivision.

stances go on the retired list with the
next higher grade on account of ser
vice In the civil war. the president will
not make the appointment
It Is also announced at the depart
ment that only one more high ranking
officer will be made a major general

j chief signal officer. He Is likely to
! be advanced In December or January,
as soon as General Chaffee goes on
the retired list. During the coming
year there will be two retirements
from the grade of lieutenant general
and there are scores of applicants for
the two prospective vacancies.

A story comes from Mexico which
Indicates that a better ngent than
with a fuse or an electric sprak. The
dynamite for blasting may have been
devised In that country. The United
States commercial agent at Aguas Ca
lientas says that a resident of that city
by name, H. C. Torre, has applied for
a patent on It. The Inventor Is an
employe of the Mexican Central rail
way. The nature of the composition
Is not stated, but It Is said that caps
are not needed, as It can be exploded
cost Is said to be small, and In Its ef
fects the new article Is about as strong
as 40 per cent dynamite. Some of the
mines around Aguas Callentaa are try
ing the substnnce. It has also been
tested with firearms. The full value
of the Invention and Its possible faults
are not yet revealed, and further In
formation is needed before judgment
can be pronounced; but Mr. Torre's
friends think he has a good thing.
