How 70 TREAT THE CuoLERA.-At late meeting in

the following remarks:

such as lasstude great iangUor debility and diarrhea
and that in this stage of the disease il nearly always

it would tend to allav the popular terror At this STAGE
of the disease, 1t is of the first Importance to pay aen

very first approach, the patient should assume he hor

Any artificial means be used for that which nav be

If the patient Is down when taken let him

Keeping this position for fortyeirht hours in the ma

patient on recovery need make very great changes

HOEING CORN AND POTATOES.

The process of hoeing corn, potatoes
and the like, would seem to be very SIM
pie, and so, in fact, it is, yet many per-
rons engaged in the business expend a
great deal of time and labor unnecessary
in doing it. Some farmers and farm la
borcrs in hoeing or dressing hill of
corn or potatoes, work all around it, per-
forming complete circuit, during, the
operation. The result is the consumption
of time unnecessarily, while the work is
anything but neatly done. When corn
and potatoes have been properly gone
through with the pillow or cultivator, the
work of hoeing or billing may be well
and expediously done by four movements
of the hoe to a hill-leaving the ground
much more evenly and neatly distributed
about them as many are in the habit Of
doing. In preparing one side of the hill
the left hand will he the lower one on the
hande.of the implement-two scrapes Of
the hoe being commonly sufficient. Chang
ing the hoe to the other SIDE the right
hand becomes the lower one on the han
die, when the same number of scrapes o.

OLD FRUIT TREES RENOVATED.

There were old apple trees in profuslon'
with nearly hundred pear trees OF SUI
perior vigorous growth, but utterly neg
lectcd, and reported as yielding small
small crops of indifferent fruit. The
out going seller Of the farm had intended
to cut them down. He knew the market
value of pickles, but the pear culture was
a sealed book The buyes, educated IN
different school, believed there was yet
high money value in these trees and
that they could be resusticated' We
stood among them and debated the ques-
ton. He thought that here was foun-
dation to begin upon, and that an invest
ment in reviving them would yield far
quicker return than in waiting for the
product of a newly planted orchard.
Among other facts and experience, refer
cnce was mlde to the memorable account
recorded in this journal nearly twenty
years ago, of the complete renovation of
two outcast pear trees. Like all these,
they had once borne excellent fruit, but
for several years had produced only
worthless specimens. The owner was
told that the trces-fOr there were several
-
in like condition-had exhausted the
proper element in the soil, and that it
must be reintroduccd by artificial means.
That autum he carried out the suggestion,
o and scraped off all the rough outer bark
from two trees, then coated them with soft
soap, cut out about one-third of all the
poorest branches, and shortened the head
of the tree one.third by cutting back the
principal limbs, pairing the wounds and
covering them with the shellac solution.
The preparation being made, trench
was dug around each tree, three feet from
the same, four feet wide and twenty inch
es deep, the soil being carted away. In
making this trench, about third of the
roots were cut away. The trench was
then filled with soil from q good pasture
field, there being added at the time of
filling, two bushels of refuse scorie from
a blacksmith forge, two of well broken
charcoal, and two pounds of pulvcrizcd
potash. All these were thoroughly inter-
mingled after the trench had been filled
by frequent overturnings with the spade
The result of this cheap and simple op-
Grafton was manifest the following sum-
mer. The luxurancc and vigor of the TO-
liage were surprising for the newly form
cd roots were wandering into fresh and
wholesome pasture The next year there
was moderate bloom, but every blossom
produced fruit. The third season there
was fine crop, the two trees producing
six bushels of superb fruit. 1t was con-
vincing evidence that the failure of old
established pear trees to produce good
crops is owing to want of proper nutri-
ment in the soil, and that instead of be-
lug cut down when they cease to bear,
they should be taken in hand and reno
yated.--HorticuluriSt.
