Diseased Pear Trees.— The inclosed samples of 
pear fratt and leaves present some features of dis¬ 
ease new to this reelon, as I think. I am informed 
that the trees have been well cultivated and fed 
with wood ashes The wood appears to be healthf. 
Syracuse. N. Y. J t r. 
Axs.—The leaves and fruits inclosed were both 
badly withered, but they appear to be affected by 
the blight. We would advise spraying with the Bor¬ 
deaux Mixture with the addition of Parts-Kreen to 
the Mixture as often recommended in The U N.-Y. 
Unfkrmentei) Wine.—How Is unfermented wine 
cr grape Juice prepared ? A. s. 
A NS.-The following is a good process: Dee pure 
Juice from ripe grapes; strain, to remove any por¬ 
tion of pulp that remaioB in the Juice as it comes 
from the press, heat to nearly the boiling point and 
bottle while hot. Put no sugar or anything else in it. 
Bottle as soon as yon can after it has been pressed 
from the grapes, BO that there can be no chance for 
fermentation, and you have the most healthful and 
invigorating drink that can be found, as it contains 
everything to make pure, healthy blood and nothing 
of a deleterious character which we find in most of 
the prepared drinks, hard and soft, of the present 
day.
