Pear Growing in illinois.

Fms. Co GENT.-Allow me to add slight
contribution to the pear question in latitude AZ
deg. 90 min. north, and II tEegs west, on the
western shore of Lake Michigan. Pear trees
are extensively planted in this vicinity, and /
have watched them with interest for the last
twelve years. / have set ont some trees every
year for the last ten years. and have them IN my
nursery and orchard of all ages from one to twelve
years old, and Rare ever 600 standard trees in
my orchard.

900 Many die every year, and expect they
ever viii until learn to give them the proper
treatment, when they will probably almost all live,
as part only do now. But suppose they always
continue to die as at present, shall still continue
to set them out as / now do, for the trees grow
vigorously here, and bear tire most delicious fruit
about every year; and suppose get but an aV-
erage of one bushel from tree-that tree does
not cost me fifty cents, and the fruit Is worth
three dollars at least. have one Flemish Beau

year-and another five years old, that had over

that bore few specimens each-all so large and
fair they would make your mouth water to look
at them, and the taste would never disappoint

and about as many Bartletts and Madeleines

of fruit the past year. and all first rate of their

Hen Manure for Indian Corn.

MESsRs. EDIToRs-In an article in the Coun-
try Gentleman of the 30th of December, headed
Reader will you write for Us ?n YOU furnish
a list of subjects on Indian corn, fourteen in
number, Oh each of which you invite your read
ers to give their experience. l think this idea
! offurnishing subjects happy one, and on each
of these connected with Indian corn, which, in
this section of the country has now become the
most important and reliable crop, many farmers
ought to have some experience to communicate
which might be interesting to your readers. ]
agree with you that each subject is enough for
a single communication I viii therefore confne
myself to giving my experience on No 5. On
cleaning out my hen-house last spring, | had
more than a wagon load of clear hen manure
drew this into my barn intending to drop it on
the hills of corn as soon as the corn made its APP
peardnce. planted one acre on the first of
May but after that the weather was so unfavor-
able that it was the end Of May and beginning of
June before / got through planting. Long be-
fore this the manure began to heat at such a
rate that had to unload it on to the barn floor,
and on going into the barn in few days after,
the. effiuvia from the escaping ammonia was SO
powerful that was glad to escape from the barn
Having some plaster on hand linked it thorough
ly with the manure, spreading the latter thinly
over the floor and bruisng and chopping it very
fine. 1t was then thrown into a heap and re-
manned on the floor until the corn was ready for
it, and there was no further preccptible escape of
ammonia. With this top dressed all my corn
eleven acres, and had barrel left over for other
purposes. So well satisfied am | with the re-
suit that for the future | intend to prepare nv
own hen manure in the same way aud aunIv #
to the same crop. | mixed enough plaster with
it to makeit dry and quite inoffensve to handle
can speak of this from experience as dropped
it over four acres myself Now here is a ma
nure equal in value, doubt not to the average
of imported guano, which every farmer can manu-
facture for himself for every farmer keeps fowls
But ne must have a suitable building for them
and not allow them to roost all about his nremi-
ses and even in trees wasting that valuable ma
nure as is too often the case. So highly do
esteem this manure that I make if NV business
overnight to see that all my fowls are within
their proper house.

Blinkers on Horses.
c. B. MEEK.

~ Mr. Rarey, the horse-tamer, says that blinkers
should not be used on horses They can be
broken in less time without them. Horses are
only fearful of objects which they do not under
stand, or are not familiar with, and the eye is
one OF the principal mediums by which this I'M
derstanding and this familiarity are brought
ABOUT This seems consistent with reason, and
is no doubt the taet He says further, that a
horse broken without blinkers can be driven past
any omnibus, cab or carriage on a narallel line
as close as it is possible for him to 60, without
ever wavering or showing any disposition to
dodge. Why not abolish the blinkers altogether
Many persons do not have them; but it would
no doubt be better if all would cease using them
