terday en- the grounds of one of our best
horticulturists, and saw the application and
have some faith in its success. Our friend
thinks there is no chance for mistaxe about
its efficacy. He informed US that he applied
il last year, after the curculio had begun its
ravases, and that il not only saved those
which were uns;ung, but many of the
plums on which the insect had left his caro-,
healed up and rirened well. The liquid
enters The opened wound and destroys the
egg. This is the only remedy he ever found
to avail against this slippery enemy of one
of eur best fruits. His recipe is:-One
peck of unslacked lime-six pounds of salt
--one barrel of water.
No time is to be lost, as the young plums
are already set. and the enemy has begun
TO show himself. Ii a syringe is not to be
had, sprinkle the liquid WI some other way
The mixture is cheap and easily applied,
and every man who has plum tree should
try it. This is the most philosophical RENE.
dy We have yet seen suggested, and we
commend it, with more confidence than
most new things, to the notice of fruit
growers. If it answers Cdr expectations, it
will be worth million TO the Country

BLIGHT CURED BY SULPECR.--On Thurs
day, the 18th June. the vines in a winery
here appeared affected by a sudden blight,
(the leaves shrivelled and burnt as by a
sirocco) so severely as to promise the
eventual total failure in perfecting fruit
Sulphur was directly applied without, and
aftei. a syringe washing. This appeared to
do little good, Last year, this process. al
though itseemed to check the blight, Conn.,
pletely failed in saving any portion Of the
fruit. Sulphur was then placed on the
floor and burnt, and this seemed to arrest
partially the progress OF the blight. Then
the thought occurred of sprinkling water on
the heated fue, and sulphur upon that
This cause q health-giving vapor to rise,
but it was found that the water poured upon
the hot fue dried up too rapidly. The
thought then come into the mind OF the ex-
perimenter to sprinkle the water, and next
the sulphur upon the cold f1ue, and then
gradually to warm the fae. This, along
with keeping up sufficient temperature, has
been found to answer (as far as yet appears)
perfectly. Each night this method has been
followed, and now new leaves are growing
and the whole crop looks beautifully heal
thy. From this may not the inference be
drawn that the evil effects of blight, OF all
descriptions and in ell places-in trees on
walls, or standards, and in hop grounds
may, by timely and proper employment OF
water, fire, and sulphur, be in great part
checked, mitigated. or altogether avoided;
although, of course, their application sub
Dio, may be a matter of difficulty, ant
prove of less yirtue.-Gardener's Chronicle,

TURSIP CuLTuRk-lt is noS time TO
prepare ground for turnips. For general
rule es-ly sowing 10 touDd to be better than
late. The chief difficulty in the way OF
early sowing is that lime cannot well be
spared from the other crops before the mid
die or latter part of July. The chances Tor
q good crop from late sowing are much tdi'
minished. For if the first sowing would
fail either from bad seed, or the destruction
Of the young plants by insects-there will
not be an opportunity for second trial, as
there would be if the first sowing were sufii-
ciently early. We would therefore advice
all who wish to make suFes sOf good crop OF
turnips 10 have the ground well prepared
and the seed sown as soon alter the first CT
this month guly) as practicable, and by all
means not delay sowing beyond the hrst OF
August, although favorable season good
crop may be obtained week or two later
than that.
1.-THE ground for turnips should be well
pulverized and clean. II there is much
litter upon it, il should be burned; for adyan-
tages, will be secured by that means:--lst,
insects will be destroyed. and end, the land
will get light dressing of ashes which are
always beneficial to turn Pc. a dressing
of ashes should be added when they can De
obtained. In England where the turniP
crop is a much more important one than
with US, the super phosphate OF lime is con-
sidered the best manure. But commonly a
little guano or fresh stable manure is used
with il. The gusno or fresh manure gives
the young plants an early start, so that
they are not liable 20 be destroyed by in
sects.-Cdroina Cultirdtor.

A COMMENTARY ON SBAKsPEAEE When
Shakespeare says that the man who hath no
music in his soul is fiji for treasons, strata
gems, and spoils, he saws " hat some people
greatly misunderstood. He does not say
that worthy old Brown, who cannot tell
"RuIe Britannia" from "God Safe the
Queen" is d traitor and villain at heart
He does not denOuncc the want OF musical
ear. The want of musical soul is what he
condemns, the want OF that element in :he
suul which answers TO music and is affected
by music; the want of hesrts;rings capable
of vibrating to music-to tender, plaintive
joyful, grand, unearthly, glorious music
the deficiency, in short ct those sentiments
which distinguish man from the jsckass and
other b!"tes. A mau may be wholly desti-
iute of these sentiments, and be able to fiddle
brilliant fantasia: he may possess all of
them, and yet be quite deaf; music must get
to them to excite them; but in that degree
wherein it has power to excl lie them, it is
good music.-Punch.
