LoyG AHD Rotten MANUREs.-Clay.
ev loans readily retain the gases which
arise from decnmposing manures plow-
ed deeply under the soil, and for such
Soils long manures may be plowed deep
" under in the fall with profit, but san.
DIV soils will not retain the resultant
gases from decomposition. They may
however, be rendered retentive by the
addition of charcoal dust, clay, or de-
composed peat or muck, and when prac.
ticable, should be so treated as the most
economical method.
Manures should either be plowed un-
der the soil before decomposition, and
sufficient time before planting to ensure
their decomposition, or they should be
previously decomposed in compost, but
never alone. Large quantities of organ
ic matter should always be composted
with putrescent manures, so that, during
their decomposition, the gases produced
may be absorbed, and not lost by evap-
oration.-N should manure or COM
post heaps be ever suffered to become
dry, or fire tanging will ensae and
much of their value will! be lost. 1t is
equally hurtful to leave manures INNER
sed in water, in ponds, holes, &C., for
then, although the decomposition is
slow, still we can always observe bub.
bles OF carburetted hydrogen and other
gases rising TO the surface and escaping
into the atmosphere, and consequently
lost to the Misunderstanding Farmer.

Nor MUCH TROUBLE TO TRY TITO
raise an orchard of grated fruit without
grating! How can it be done! Select
the kind of fruit you desire, then take a
linen string and tie it as near the top as
may be. Let it remain one year, then
you have above the string one years
growth. Over the string will form a
bulb; cut it off just below, and set it in
the ground, and from the bulb will start
out roots, and soon trees of adwarfish
size will be seen groaning under bur-
den of fruit.

Sir JOHN FRANKLlN's CREw.-A let
ter which has been copied from one
OF the Scotch newspapers, alleging that
a party from the English whaler Flora,
while in Lancaster Sound, had gone
ashore, and under the guidance of Esqui.
mauX had found the frozen bodies of
four of Sir John Franklin's crew, the
London and provincial papers say 1t is
only cruel hoax. The reasons given
for this decision are that the person to
whom the letter was addressed cannot
be found, and that no such vessel as the
Flora is known.
The Newburyport Herald thinks that
sollcitude for the fate Of the bold search
ers for Franklin is more appropriate at
the present time, as all hope Of Frank.
I'm being found alive must be vain. Ii
says:
Six or eight vessels have wintered in
some of the bays or inlets which empty
into Balln's Bay; beyond the point
where the whale shipsever venture, and
it will be well if other expeditions are
not required TO recover some of them
The American vessels we fear, were
not sufficiently well appointed for the
undertaking, and we fear much for thu
safety of their crews. We know moth.
ing on earth which we should not rath
er encounter, than a winter in the ice
on board a small vessel, above latitude
~. 1t requires a greater amount Of
courageous effort than to lead a squad.
ron on the hloodiest field of battle the
earth ever saw; for that trial would bt
quickly over, and there might be ex.
citement enough in the contest to carry
one through it fearlessly.
1t is probable that Franklin's vessels
which have now been absent more than
six years, succeeded in the first or sec.
ond season, in reaching some point Of
the Arctic Sea; which is seldom open,
perhaps not oftener than once in gen.
Grafton, and here frozen in, where they
remained until they all persisted by cold
or starvation. Not unlikely the vessels
and the bodies of the men may be found
hereafter, and many thrillingly interest
ing memorials found recorded in the
journals by their side; which the last of
them no doubt kept as long as life re-

Cleansing the Bark of Trees.


spring, as we'll as in midsummer. The
rough, loose parts of the bark should be
scraped off, as we'll as moss, and other
parasites. The bark, should then be COW
cred with the following mixture, as high
as the operator can reach, with an ord.
nary long handle whitewash brush.
; pounds whale oil soap, l pound fine
salt, pound fine sand, 2pounds potash,
. ounces of mira soda, dissolved or mixed
water to the consistency Of cream, and
thoroughly rubbed upon the bark. Many
kinds of insects are kept from trees by Il
solution of whale oil soap alone, and
making such as are resident in the Gre
vices Of the bark, are destroyed by salt.
The fine sand is intended during the
rubbing to scratch the outer coating of
the bark and thus asst the other ingred-
tents for a more perfect action. The
potash and nitrate of soda will decom-
pose or soften the dead parts of the bark,
so that during the summer they will be
thrown of by the healthy action OF the
growing bark. If the above mixtures
BE- applied in dry weather, it will be.
come so hard as to remain during sever.
al showers; and thus have time to per-
form its office. Trees with smooth
bark, such as the plum, many of the
cherries, Sc, should he rubbed with a
Wet rourhwoolen cloth in a few hours
after applying the mixture; this rubbing
will cause sand TO clean the surface SO
clean the surface so perfectly as to give
the bark an improved and more healthy
surface. Trees so cleansed are not as
likely to become bark bound; indeed
we have never known a tree to exhibit
the disease called bark-bound, the sur
face of the trunk of which had been sot-
tened by a soap wash in early spring.
The cherry, apricot, peach and necta-
rine arcsubject, when left to their natur-
al state, to the disease, and it has usually
been attributed to too rich or too moist
soil; and nder-dralning and sitting the
bark lengthwise with the knife are the
usual remedies. The one is expensive
and often impossible where choice trees
are planted, and the other is babarouS
md unsightly, causing exhalation ofgum
and consequent canker. In any case, a
few applications of soap to the surface Of
the part hide bound will remove the diff
Guilty, and the mixture before recon-
mendedmay be applied, slightly warmed,
when required to soften the bark of a
hide bound tree.
