Z The "OuRL" IN PEAcH Trees. . The
..curled leaf" is the most fatal obstacle to
the peach culture here. Quite commonly
the cold Of winter spares buds enough for
affair crop Of fruit, and the month of April
opens with fair prospects, which are per-
.fectly bfghted before its conclusion Pre-
maturely warm weather late in March, or
during the month Of April. swells the buds |
almost to. bursting. Then succeeds cold
weather. holding them in check sometimes,
as in 1851, for thirty six days. Whenyeg-
citation finally recommences, the juices of
the tree are in morbid state; most Of the
buds that had been previously so excited
never open at all, and those that do exhibit
asickly, stinted foliage, which speedily falls,
presenting the phenomenon Of the "curled
leaf" Some writers refer it to insects; but
these are seen in the final catastrophe, and
are the plunderers merely Of the morbid
vegetation. 1t is especially worthy Of re-
mark, that sudden and severe chills, occur
ring in midsummer, often cause slight
show Of the disease So well are the causes
of Scurled leaf" ascertained, that little is
risked in predicting its speedy appearance,
while, as yet, not trace of it is seen.---G.

THE NEeLEcr OF LreuID. MASUREs
A correspondent of the Germantown Tele-
graph, after giving analyses showing the
great yalu0o the liquid excrements Of an
ipals, observes: h Al s.f ee, lbs8s I
"lo me it has been matter Of deep SUR
prise that so few farmers adoptany efficient
measures for the economization of the liquid
manures made on their premises, 3Of' the
millions OF dollars worth which is produced
in the country during a single year, but. a
mere triAe is applied to the soil. The far
mer who purchases from one to four hun
dred dollars worth of solid excrement every
year, and thinks he cannot invest his money
to better advantage-inl which supposition
l Iconcede, he is perfectly right--never thinks
that by the expenditure Of a few dollars and
little labor, be could save very import
ant part Of this outlay, in the simple article
ofurine. The truths, liquid manures and
liquid manuring are yet novelties with US
Americans; we do not appreciate them, and
years ill-probably roll over us ere We shall.
THE LIFE SUSTAINING PRINCIPLE OF FooD
The oils or fats alone do not sustain life,
neither does starch or sugar alone. With
both of these classes of substances, as we
have seen, certain proportion Of gluten is
associated in all our grains, fruits, and nu-
tritive roots. Hence arrow-root, which is
only variety of starch, cannot give strength
without an admixture of gluten, in some
form or other. 10 condemn prisoner to
be fed on arrow-root alone, would be to put
him to certain death by a lingering, tortur-
ing starvation. The same is true, to a less
extent, Of tapioca, and of most varieties Of
sago, all of which consist Of starch, with
only a small and variable admixture Of gu-
ten. Even gluten, when given alone to
dogs, has not kept them alive hey ond a few
weeks; so that no vegetable production, it
may be said, and no kind of artfcially pre-
pared food, will support life, in which starch
and gluten at least are not united.-Chem-
istry Of Common Life.

to cure indigestion, and in this view we give
aromatic tonics The following we have
used with considerable success. Tincture
Of aromatic sulphur acid. Dose, one drachm
in pint of water, night and morning.

The GREEEING ON A SWEET STocK.-- =
Some varieties of apples are considerabl,
influenced by the stocks upon which the,
are grated Mr.. Eaton, of Buffalo, in TIL
late proceedings Of the American Pomolog
ical Society, says: ri have observed tn
Rhode Island Greening to change its char
acter much when worked on sweet stock
1t becomes more highly colored, being ofte
abeautiful yellow, with a red cheek, an
loses much Of its acidity, becoming, how
ever, more tasteless when kept late than j
usuals. The difference is 50 marked that
has been considered distinct variety. 1
is, however, beyond a doubt, occasioned b
the. influence Of the stock, as has bee
proved by experiment." s9 p.t
