SPRAYINa AND PRUNING DEMONSTRATIONS. 



The Department of Agriculture has deemed it ad- 

 visable to keep one or two men in the field during the 

 months of January, February and March to give prun- 

 ing and spraying demonstrations in different parts of 

 the State. Kentucky has a great many valuable fruit 

 trees that are not yet beyond redemption. The San Jose 

 scale and the pear blight have discouraged a great many 

 farmers and they have woefully neglected their orchards.
