As this is the season when: the
diarrhea prevails to the greatest ex-
tent, we publish the following from
Halls Journal OF Health:
at may be well for travellers to
know that tho first, the most impor-
tant, and most Indispensable item in
the arrest and cure of looseness oil
the bowels is absolute quietude on a
bed. Nature herself always prompts
this by disinclining Us to locomotion'
The next thing is to eat nothing but
common rice, parched like coffee, and
then boiled, and taken With a little
salt and butter. Drink little or no
liquid of any kind. Bits Of ice
may be eaten and swallowed at will.
Every step taken in diarrhoea, every
spoonful of liquid, only aggravates
the disease. IF locomotion is COM
pulsory, the misfortune of the neces-
sity may be lessened by having a
stout piece Of wollen flannel bound
tightly around the abdomen, so as to
be doubled in front, and kept well
in it's place. In the prae Pc Of many
wears we have never failed to notice
a gratifying result to follow these OBJ
aervances.

Sunday School Joe was an over

Fall Treatment Of Trees.


A great many persons who at
tempt the cultivation Of fruit or or.
nameutal trees, fail from not paying
sufficient attention to themin the fall |
The fall of the leaf is often a eriti-
Cal time with most trees, and they
consequently require more attention
shan at other times. Trees that
have been recently set, aud which
have not had time to Iadiate, or
send out vigorous laterals for their
support, generally receive considera-
BILE injury from the autumn winds,
the swaying to which they are expos
ed causing liberation of the radicals
which not uufrequently operates ia
tally and is always in a greater Or
less extent Injurious even where the
effect is not clearly apparent. all
trees should be secured from this
evil by stakes fixed in the soil, as
soon us they are set out. This pre-
caution will always be- the means OF
saving much expense, and The loss OF
many valuable trees. In the spring,
as soon as the frost Is fairly out Of
the soil, the sward should be re-
moved, anG manure dug in around the
roots. Compost formed Of forest
scrapings, or Of stable manure, wood
ashes, Old lime and gypsum, consti-
tute a most excellent stimulant fer
young trees. Injecting apple trees,
/ have found that few quarts Of
lime, deposited in the holes before
the trees are placed in position, caus-
es a rapid and vigorous start, aud
secures a healthy development
through the subsequent periods oil
growth. After filling in, which
should be done with great care,
generally, in the case of young trees
cover the surface with spont tan, fine
chips, saw-dust, or straw. A good
mugcling article for plum trees, is
found in salt hay, the invigoratlng and
sanitary effect Of which, upon most
species Of the plum which is Of ma.
rine origin, is remarkable. When il
cannot be easily obtained, ordinary
fresh hay, wet with solution OF salt
may be used Us a substitute. But
Of all articles used, chip manure
when fine, is probably most valuable
it lasts for a long period, acts as ar
efficient non-eonduc:or, keeping the
soil moist and warm, and prevent!
the growth of weeds. AS it decom
poses, it supplies healthfal and in
vigorating pabulum to the roots anc
restores to the soil a portion Of th'
alimen.ary matters distracted by th'
trees.
Ornamental trees are rarely trans
planted as they should be. Th
work is generally performed by mel
who have no interest in the labor, ant
who, feeling themselves perfectlysil
responsible, are of course indiferen
as to the result. No work bette
repays extra care than that Of tire
planting, whether pursued on o sma
: or large scale.
