w.snins tho stems orTruit Trees.

The bark of fruit trees lives for several
years. In the apple we do not know ex-
actly, but we believe about six. Annu-
ally new bark Is formed next the wood
and consequently the outside bark Of a
six-year old tree was formed six years
before. After six-years (about this the
bark dies and forms what is called rough
bark, and this rough or dead bark re-
mains on many years, getting thicker
and thicker from the under side, with
each years accommodations. lnle
Writers ON tree washes make no dis
tinction between the different stages
hence apparent contradictions are COM
mon, which the reader cannot reconcile.
For instance, a correspondent OF the
Canada Farmer says he nearly ruined
his orchard by washing the, trees. with
soapsuds as strong as he could make it,
and putting on about half apailful to the
tree, and a neighbor killed his trees en-
tirely by putting soap grease upon them
to keep sheep from gnawing the bark.
This was, no doubt, put on young,
smooth, live bnrk, which it would no
doubt injure. He who had recommend
ed 1t had no doubt tried it on old trees
with rough bark, to which it would be a
benefit. f1t safr -lf 'H '@}- tf i. F' fIi

AND HIS Doc. The New York
World, quoting from o radical Cor
respondent the shocking fact" that
all but four of the colored members
of the Georgia Legislature have been
expelled, for the crime of having
negro blood in their veins, says:
@But how about the members of the
Louisiana Legislature. who have
been expelled, for the crime of being
white, and to make way for cream,
coffee and molasses miscegens? And
are there no tears for the $50, or
300, 900 white citizens of the South
who have been disfranchised, while
the coal blacks, who raised the food
which supported the Southern arm
les during the rebellion, and who
built the Notifications which resisted
the Federal army, have been forced
up to the ballot-box? It is all right
to turn white man away from the
polls, or out of his seat, to make way
for negro, but, when the same dose
is administered to batch of blacks,
the radicals writhe."

Il The EASTERN QUEsIoN.-In the
cable dispatches of the 18th, it was
mentioned that the Turkish troops
had fought a severe battle with the
Bulgarian insurgents, and, though
sustaining heavy loss, had defeated
and driven them to their shelter in
the Balkan Mountains. In the pre-
sent combustible state of Europe,
the flying about of the smallest
sparks attracts more than usual at
tention-so that even The Bulgarian
rebellion, in view of the new oppres-
sions to which it may subject the
adherents of the Greek Church in
that dependency of European Turkey,
and the supposed irritation which
this will produce in Russia, is re-
garded as of significance and as help
ing to bring on an eastern question"
war, which may involve all the great
powers of Europe. Whilst there is
no ground apparent for attaching
such gravity to the affair, it is well
known that Russian influence ope-
rates powerfully in Bulgaria, and, as
the territory is Of vital Importance to
the integrity Of the Turkish empire,
Turkey has been at great pains to
neutralize that influence. OF the
three and half millions of popula-
tion, nearly q million and half are
Christians, and the bond of sympa-
thy between this large portion of the
population and Russia is sensitively
felt in both countries. The Western
powers, however, unless divided by
the European complications, will
never permit Russia to assail in any
vital point the integrity of the Turk
ish empire. = ~ fAf.
