Painted Pals Poi;sonous.--O One OIL

Painted Pals Poisonous. One o

attention Of the readers Of the Sti-
enf,fe .4jnd riican to the danger Of
using the p ails which are painted in
side, for a omestic purposes. The
oxide of LEI d with which they are
painted is a dangerous poison, and |
know it is productive Of evil in
many cases. Last week, having Ia
ken drink of water from a painted
pail which had been ID use for some
months, was convinced from the
taste Of the water that it had taken
up d portion Of the paint, and having
analysed the water, l found it to
contain very minute quantity Of
it; sufficient, however, II a large
guam tity of the water were taken, to
prod pce those fearful diseases peeu-

Cultivation Of the Pear Tree.

N"i' "eicH vi tHC Cal HUI,
The principle reasons deduced by
the orchardist Tor neglecting, or refu-
sing to Plant as many pear trees as
Will bear some proportion TO the num-
Der OF lis apples, peach or other trees.
are that the first cost Of the pear
tree is generally more than double
that Of the apple; it is longer in
coming info bearing; it is more liable
TO leaf or sap blight, &c. These OBJ
Jectioas may look formidable, but
they are not unsurmountabie.
1t is true that the cost at the nur-
sery Of 100 pear trees, is more than
that Of 200 apple fees; and this must
continue to be SO, fer The expense Of
raising pear trees for suitable size
for market is much the greater; but
when planted in the, orchard they re-
qulre no more attention than Other
fruit trees, in order to make them ID
their best, they require cultivation
and attention far beyond what is U.
sually extended to them.
A well cultivated pear tree is a:
prolific as an apple tree of the same
size, and the fruit always sells at more
than double The price Of apples, 81

It may be said that pear trees vii

that most varieties Of pears improve

quite ripe and allowed TO ripen Of
the tree; if this course is persued
the objection falls.
A very popular method Of cultiya

the Anglers ounce stock; by thi
means the tree is dwarfed and throwl

The best stock for dwarfing tn,
