High and Low Head Peach Trees.
Some diversity of opinion exists among
our orchardists in regard to the heigt the
peach tree should be allowed to throw out
its branches. DIR. Hull and Geo. Booth. of
Alton, do not allow their trees to- begin to
form heads under four or five feet from the
ground. They want plenty of room left un-
der the branches, for horse to walk so as
to plow and cultivate the soil. They say
the ground must be worked-and it can be,
cheaper and better by horse power than by
hand. DIR. Hull also contends that we must
catch the curculio, and he wants room to
work under his treeswitl lisgreat inverted
u,nsrella, soas to jarthe trees and have them
fan into this curculio- catcher, which is car
Red around on something like, Wheelbar
row. Ssecnrely fastened. The curculio is
every year becoming more troublesome, and
it is well enough to. prepare to meet this en-
envy. They are not satisfied with destroying
the plum crop-they must try their teeth
on the peach. DR.. Hull drives his wagon
under the trees and picks the fruit from the
wagon; contending it a better way than to
have low heads and pick from the ground.
it has of late years been recommended to let
the peach tree branch as low as it will-but
those who are about putting out peach orch
ards, will do well to consider whether they
had not better prevent them from forming
their heads lower than four or five feet
Peach trees are being set out almost by the
million. and it is well to start right HaA 81

A New REMEDY FOR NEURALG1A.-Dr.
Caminiti of Messina, appears to have dis
covered a valuable remedy for certain neu-
ralgic pains. A lady, patient of his, had
long been suffering from trifacial neuralgia;
she could not bear to look at luminous OBJ
jects, her eyes were continually watering, and
she was in constant pain Blisters, prepa-
rations of belladonna; hydrochlorate of NOR
phine, friction with the tincture of aconite,
pills of acetate of morphine and camphor,
ssnbcarbonate of iron, &c, had been employed
with but partial success or none whatever.
At length Dr. caminiti attributing the OBJ
stinacy of the affection to the variations of
temperature so frequent to Sicily, hit upon
the plan ofcoverting all the painful parts with
coating of collodion containing hydrodhlo
rate ofmorphine in the proportion of 80 grs.
of the former to one of the latter. The at
tempt was entirely successfully the relief was
instantaneous and permanent and the coat
ing fell off of itself in the course Of day or
two. ~ 80 -, - -

Do you not remember if you've been

when for important reasons you desire the
