FRUIT TREES.

hANAwHA I5Tu JUNE, 1899.
j.. ). SKINNER, ESQ. The injuries sus-
tanned from canker, moss, black rust, in
cisions made by birds, and especially those
resulting from the deposition of the egrs
OF various insects about our fruit trees
have induced several enquiries as 10 the
best methods of avoiding those evils, and
produced several valuable suggestions
through your very useful paper. | have,
however, met with nothing as efficacious
as simple application recommended to
me few years since by an old friend
Who had long bestowed peculiar care on
his orchard. 1t is prepared as follows ::
Take common soft soap, and dilute il,
with as much urine as will bring the
mixture to about the consstence of n.int
mixed for use with this preparation CO.
yer the bodies of the trees, and the larrer
branches as far Us they can bc convenient
~ approached, giving good coat, and
extending 1t down Is low as possible.
This preparation may, be readily applied
10 the tree, with mop made Of sheen
skin, with the wool on, or with the COM
mon paint brush, and may be increased
10 any desirable thickness by repeating
the covering, after drying a short time.
ihIs covering will remain much longer
than might be Supposed, as it hardens
from the influence Of the sun and air.
Some OF my trees which received good
coat more than eighteen months ago, yet
retain part of it. When applied to
young trees ofthe apple, plum and cher.
ny, 1t gave to the bark all the smoothness
and vigour which is peculiar TO the water
spout, and greatly accelerated their growth.
L found 1t an admirable protection of the
young trees, not only against the small
| spotted wooG-Pccker, and the whole fam
! NY OF insects, but also against rabbits, sheep
and other animals, whose height did not
enable them to reach above the coating.
| When applied to old trees, whose bark has
become rough and loose, the bodies should
be previously rubbed SO as to disengare
| the dead bark.
My Cherry trees were nearly lost by an
almost universal covering Of black rust,
when first used this remedy they are
now among the most vigorous and heal
tiny within my knowledge. Although |
nave not made the experiment, think the
soap and urine would from a good dress
ing for old and rough barked grape vines.
as have found mine evidently iDyigora-
ted by rubbing off the rough bark, and
washing the vines with soap suds Wheth-
or the alkaIi, the uric acid or their Joint
combination, with a small portion of the
| mnr;ate oI soda, operates as a stmu!an;
to the tree. leave others to investigate I:
out the effect will be apparent to any who
VIII ny the experiment, in the increased
growth Of the wood, the luxuriance ofthe
ioI'aige, and in the increased quantity and
| quality Of the fruit. 7. r.
