a FACT FOR FARMERs-Dr. r. /. Baldwin
has recently made public the rSut of several
years investigation and experiments upon
manures, and various ways fcrtilizing the soil.
He states that the best and speediest way to
fertilize any soil, is to cover it over with straw,
bushes, or any raw materials, so as to COM
pIetely shade it. The surface of the earth thus
being made very cold, dark, damp and close,
soon undergoes a chemical process like putri-
faction, and becomes highly fertilized. This
plan of fertilizing, he says, may be applied with
success with any soil, whatever, no matter how
poor, and the result will be astonishing.

Peach Worm.

In many of the papers, at this season, may
be found remedies for the peach worm. They
may be called standard remedies, because they
appear periodically year after year. There is
no harm in trying them, but the only remedy
we believe in, and have found etfectual as well
as simple, is to examine each tree, spring and
fall, with knife tapering to sharp point,
hunt up the intruder, and destroy him. If he
Is about at all thern ie assults- c-.-l..-c
him Immediately under the surface OF the
ground his presence being indicated by the
gun.
Just below the surface the bark is tender,
which makes it the point of attack. In the
hard bark above the ground he cannot make
an entrance, and to guard against him below,
we have pursued the plan each fall, exposing
the trunk by drawing away the earth around
it down to where the larger roots begin to
branch out and leaving it exposed all winter
The bark thus becomes hard and impregnable
In the spring it should be filed up again a
little above the level a peck of leached ashes
being applied also around each tree, according
to the size. This application promotes the
thrift and growth of the peach.
BY attending to these recommendations, in
stead of seeing short lived tree, having two
or three crops and then dying off, as is the case
with many orchards we believe it can be made
to live and be made productive and profitable
from ten to fifteen years at least, and perhaps
longer.
We know of peach trees in this vicinity, ap
parcntly perfectly healthy and bearing well
twenty-five years old. 10 those who consider
this plan too troublesome, we only say do with
ont peaches and make no complaints. Fru
of the best quality cannot be grown withou
care and trouble and if it could, would not bt
valued so much as it is. The yeows, in the
peach, is far more difficult to manage, and in
deed no remedy has yet been found. When
ever it makes its appearance the tree should bt
