PLAsTERING AND ASKING.
TO PROTECT FRUIT FROM LATE
SPRING FROSTS.

MY friend, Major Ruff, who is q virtuo-
80, lately informed me that many years
ago he saw it stated in Ere nch paper,
that by thro wing hempen rope over the
4op Of tree, when in bloom, or near
the time Of blooming, and by letting the
lower end touch the ground, the tree
would be thus protected from the inRu.
ence of the frost. This | thought quite
rational and philosophic; | accordingly
made the experiment. To prove more
fully the modUs OperGndi,I took two dish>
es, half filed with water, and set them d
few feet distant, under the tree, OIL the
night before an expected frost, the tree
being nearly in full bloom. Throwing
one end OF the rope over the top of The
tree, let the other hang in the water oil
one Of the dishes. The event proved
the correctness of the theory. There
was q hard frost on the morning ofthe
9th ult., and the dish into which the
rope was deposited, contained leo to the
thickness Of dollar, while that in the
other dish was scarcely the thickness OF
paper.
The philosophy Of the above expert
ment 10 this, The rope, which was previ.
Ously wetted, was conductor Of heat;
the air, and, Of course, the limbs of the
tree, became colder in the night than the
eaFth-the rope conducted the heat from
the earth to The tree, thus keeping up n
equilibrium, and preserving the tree from
Frost
As far as my observation extends, the
critical time for fruit is long before il Is
in blossom, but il is nevertheless true,
that severe and protractsd cold, at that
time, or even later, will dss'roy the fruit
This was the case last year The fruit
was killed by severe frost after it had
been formed.
There is not in my mind doubt that
by attaching rope to each tree Of choice
fruit, and thus setting il permanently re.
main through the winter and apring, the
fruit would be secured from the effects
of frost.
To the ncredulous and the superciIi.
ouS,who balanve their grist all their lives
with big stone-who, sufficiently wise,
despise knowledge aud instruction, the q
above may appear unworthy their attenS
ton. Let such be informed that it is not
less PhilOsophic than lightning rods at. II
