HOW TO INCREASE THE FRUIT.
FULNESS OF ORCHARDS.

Alkaline, or amoniacal preparations
have been applied to young trees, as well
as to old ones, for the purpose of stimula-
ting their growth and acceleratiag their
fruitfulncss, such as whilewashing their
trunks and branches, rubbing them with
soapsuds, and spreading round their roots,
lime, gypsum, charcoal, SCOT, ashes, &c.
II you apply it to vines, or to young ap-
pie trees, there is nothing that contributes
more TO make them bear an abundance of
fruit; nor does this only produce a greater
increase, but it also improves both the
taste and flavor Of the wine and apple

little SON, when about two months old,
was seized with a bowel complaint. II
continued for two weeks without inter-
mission, and Notwithstanding the RENE.
dies prescribed by a respectable Physi-
clan, We gave up the child a victim, as
we supposed, 10 a fatal disease. But |
provideniially heard of "Jayne's Car
miniiive." as an efTeciual cure for bowel
complaint. aud Immediately dispatched
a messenger 10 a town seventeen miles
of for a bottle. By the use OF this
medicine. in less than Ihirly-six hours
the disease was checked, and by lis con-
slant use for a few days, the child was
restored to perfect health. Shortly after
this, there occurred a similar case in one
OF The families of my congregation. |
prescribed ''Jayne's Carmini,ive," and
the result was a speedy cure.
The same child, owing to exposure,
when recently coming U? the Ohio, was
altscReu by mat horrible malady, Group.
We landed in the night at Beaver Point,
and when our fears were alarmed lest
The hoarse sePulchral cough was the
of death. We gave him a tea
spoonful of your Expectoran,, and ap-
piled some liniment to the throat and
and before many minutes the
was gone, the child breatbed
freely and slept sweeily. Owing to
circumstances it cannot be wonder
at why | have so high an opinion of
your medicines. and why | advise every
to keep them on hand, ready for
any emergency. Respectfully YOURS.

WEATHER.

In tho year 30l, the cold was so in
tense, that the Black Sea was entirely
frozen over.
In 45I, the Pontus Sea, and the Sea
between C~onstantinople and Scuiari in
Turkey were entirely frozen over.
The Danube was frozen over in 462
so that a whole army crossed on III. ice.
The Black Sea was sgain frozen ever
in 762, and the snow drifted to the depth
of so feet.
Carriages crossed the Adriatic Sea on
the ice in $50, and in $50 the cold was
so intense that cattle froze TO death in
| their stalls. The Mediterranean Sea was
so tickly frozen over that it was passsble
for carriages and horses, and merchandise
was transported across it on ice.
1888. This year the river Pc was fro
zen from Cremond to the sea; wine burst
the casks containing it, and trees split
with immense noise.
1915. The river Pc was frozen this
year to the depth of l6 feet.
1895. The Mediterranean was again
frozen over, and a whole pine forest was
killed by the cold.
1882. This year the snow was SO
deep in Austria, that houses were entire
ly buried beneath it and many persons
persisted.
1892. The Rhine was frozen over,
and the snow is represented as being Of
Gan DEPTH"
1923. The Baltic Sea was frozen
over SO as 10 be passable for six weeks.
1914. All the rivers in Italy were
frozen over.
1349, 1902, and l4Os. The Baltic
Sea was frozen over in each Of these
years.
1884. The Rhine and Sea of Venice
were frozen over.
1923, 1926, and 1859. In each OF
these years the travelling from Lubec to
Prussia was performed on the ice.
1920. The sea between Constantine
pie and Iskodar was passable on the ice.
1870. The cold was intense through
out Europe.
1851. This year the cold was so Sc
we're as to split whole forests Of oak trees.
1890. Scotland this year was visited
with an awful snow storm, which lasted
for ID days and nights, during which time
nine-tenths of the sheep were frozen to
death, and many shepherds lost their
lives.
1892. Wolves came into Vienna and
attacked men and women, owing 10 the
intense cold and hunger.
1929 or 1890. In one of these years
another great snow storm visited Scot
land, in which about 10000 sheep and
many shepherds were lost-by a single
dey's snow.
l776. This year the Danube was fro
zen over five feet thick below Vienna.
Scotland was the scene of another ter
riblc o storm in 1894, which is the
most extraordinary one of which there is
any record. In one single night snow
fell to the depth of eight or ten feet, and
in some places the most lofty trees were
entirely covered. By this one nights
storm IL shepherds lost their lives, and
thousands Of sheep, besides other ami
mails, were destroyed. One farmer alone
lost 400 sheep. After the storm had
abated, and the snow had somewhat dis
appeared, there were found collected to-
gether (by its violence) in one spot, the
dead bodies of 2 men, l woman, As dogs,
3 horses, 8 black cattle, $50 hares and
1910 sheep.
The above are the most remarkable ac-
counts of the old world, and strangely
contrast with the weather of the present
time; or even that of cur own country
since its settlement.

LIME on APPLE TREES.

An old farmer of much discrimination
observed to US recently that he had made
At a regular practice for several years, to
sow caustic lime around his apple trees
In the spring. He had noticed that a
tree standing in the immediate vicinity of
his dwelling, had all at once put forth
with renewed energy, and was at a loss
for some time to know the cause. On
inquiry, he found that a quantity of lime,
which had accidentally been spilled and
rendered worthless by becoming mixed
with the refuse on the stable floor, had
been thrown at the loot of the tree, and
to this as the principal cause, he mmedi-
ately assigned the revivisence and renew
ed modification OF the tree. Taking the
hint from this accident, he purchased
twelve casks Of lime and applied half q
eushel to each tree, and found that il pro-
duced Immediately beneficial effects
Not the health of the trees only. but the
quality of the fruit was greatly improved.
We would advise our readers 10 make a
trial Of this experiment and see whether it
is deserving of the high recommendation

MANURES.-"A single grain of sa-
line matter in every pound Of soil one
foot deep is equal to 500 lbs. in the acre"
This says a celebrated writer, sis moro
than is carried of in forty wears, suppos
ing that the wheat and barley are sent 10
market, and the straw and green crops
regularly returned to the soil in the shape
of manure" Farmers are to apt to rely
on what they have learned to regard as
the recuperative or self-replenishing ener-
gy of the soil; a capacity, in fact, which
the earth does not. and cannot possess,
unless under certain circumstances Of cul-
walton, or a system Of adequate vegetable
returns for the draft made upon its pow
ers by the growing crop. Suppose a
garden be cultivated for zseries Of wears
without a due application of stimulating
manure; no one can doubt that exhaustion
would be the consequence, and that this
would be precisely in the ratio Of the
quantity or amonnt of crop produced
This principle holds good in It's aPplics-
