WHITEWAsHING PRUlT TREES.

This practice, which contributes so essen
tally to the rapid growth and health Of fruit
trees, is too little known among our farmers
Ii on setting out young orchard Of two hun
dred apple trees, one half Of them are white
washed every spring in the month Of April, those
that are thus treated will be ia fine Bearing
condition two or three years sooner than the
rest Of the orchard, and will 10 the course Of
four years be at least twice as large, aud much
more thrifty. the bark or epidermis will retain
the fine smooth appearance of young nursery
tree and furnish no retreats for catterpillars,
other destructive insects. have witnessed
the success Of this experiment Oh several or
chards, for the last fourteea years and have
no hesitation in saying that it not only contri-
butes greatly TO the growth of the tree, but the
quantity and perfection OF the fruit is much i'm
proved.
The coat of lime or whitewash put on the
trunk Of the tree should be :bout the same with
that Of common sort Of whitewash no salt
should be used
Tie astonishing effect Of treating trees in this
way, will not be surprizing TO those WHO are ac-
quainted with the rationale of its operation --
Carbon is the principal constituent Of wood, and
is essential 10 the growth Of the tree. The
carbonic acid Of the atmosphere combines with
the quick lime Of the whitewash, and forms the
carbonate of lime, and is brought in contact
with the bark Oh the tree, by which il is decom-
| posed the carbon furnishes food for the tree
whist the oxygen of the carSouic acid is set al
liberty in the gaseous form.
| As soon as the carbonate OF lime is by thi.
process oecomposed, fresh dose of carbonie
acid combines with the lime, and the carbonate
OF line is regencrated and this acts constan
condr ting medium for the supply Of carbon q
the tree.
