The Philadelphia Ledger, announ-
ces a discovery of no small moment
in the intere It of agriculture that has
been made by DR.. George B. Wood.
and communicated by him to the
American Philosophical Society, of
which he is president. Peach trees in
this vicinity, after producing few
crops, not only cease bearing, but per-
ish themselves in short time where
as their natural life is fifty or sixty
years, or more. The cause of this de-
fective power of growth is believed
by DR.. Wood to be owing to def
cheney of potash in the soil, and he
assures that if this alkali be supplied
to the tree so that it shall reach the
small roots and be absorbed, the fruit
bearing power is restored, and the
tree itself, If prematurely perishing,
is revived. Believing with most per-
sons that the cause of decay lay in
worms at root of the peach tree, he
put in operation o plan which he had
seen his father perform more than
fifty years before: of digging around
the base of the stem hole four or
five inches deep, scraping away all
the worms that could be found at the
junction of the stem and roots, and
filling the hollows thus made with
fresh wood ashes from the fire, which,
of course, retained all their potash.
This was done i'm the autumn of 1868
and with result, in the following
spring, at which he was himself as
tonished. The trees appeared to have
been restored to all their early fresh
ness and vigor; they put forth bright
green leaves, blossomed copiously,
and bore crop of fruit such as they
had never born before, many of the
branches breaking down under the
load of the peaches. DIR. Wood, in
rejecting on these results, and MOTTO
ing that several of the peach trees
treated had no worms, came to the
conclusion that we must look for an
explanation to some other cause than
the destruction of few worms, and
this cause he believes to be the ashes,
the potash of which being dissolved
by the rains, had descended along the
roots to the rootlets, and presented to
them the very food for want of which
they were dying. :.
Dccaying apple trees bearing stinted
and indelible fruit have been revived
by similar process, ard with the like
results. AL Of DR.. Woods orchards
give promise of an abundant supply
of fruit this season.

Cotswold sheep.

The Cotswold are a large hardy
breed of English sheep, big boned,
and long wool, and well adapted to
hill range. Mr.. VIM. Weld, of Onta-
rio, Canada, is breeder of these fine
sheep. Our farmers will find the
Cotswold sheep hardy race that will
stand more exposure than most other
breeds, therefore their large carcass
and large quantity of wool they turn
of, make them very profitable breed.
Cotswold are extensively employed
for the improvement of other breeds,
and are preferred by all sheep breed
ers for their large size and superior
hardness. Cotswold are noted for
their large dimensions, and have
propensity to fatten, arising chiefly
from their wide frame; quietude and
open texture of flesh which is of quick
growth, and, consequently, expands
itself more rapidly than in sheep of
other qualities. ~
Cotswold have for many years been
sought after with view to increase
the size, and form and wool qualities
of our small sheep, and already the
influence of the Cotswold can be
seen in the sheep of this country, and
these crosses are eagerly sought after
for breeding and for fattening for the
butcher. In taking general survey
of the sheep of this country, l cannot
see why farmers will persist in rails
ing the small sheep that has no car
cass to feed on, and one that turns off
only two or three pounds of wool,
when they can get sheep that will
weigh from two to three hundred
pounds, and turns off from six to ten
pounds of wool, and long wool, that
an increasing demand calls for each
year; according to the situation of the
farm and the nature of the pasturage
must the sheep farmer manage his
flock. Perhaps common Merino,
Southdown, Boutwell,, and their
crosses, will be, found good. but on
good land and good pasturage, the
Cotswold strain should be preferred,
if he wishes to have due hardness
and fertility, and the increase of
weight and wool Am. Stock Journ-

Settling out Grape Vines.

A correspondent of the RarM Amer
ican says: at is maxim that a
thing that is worth doing 81 is worth
doing well;' SO in setting out a grape
vine, it will grow If the roots are
barely put in and covered with earth !;
but a few minutes extra time will suf-
flee to do it as it it should be done.
Fill the hole with we'll prepared soil,
raising it little above the surround
ing soil; make a hole five or six IN
chcs deep, as wide as the roots of
your vine will spread; set the vine Ia
and spread the roots carefully after
trimming and pruning any bruised
ones; let it be set as near the surface
as it grew in the nursery; sprinkle In
fine soil around :he roots, filling so
that no vacancies will be left, and
compress with the hand near the
roots, and when the hole is filled,
stamp down gently with the feet.
"Let the first good bud on the stem
be even with the top of the soil set
stake by the side of the vine, and
one or two around it for protection
from accidents and to train to. A
mulch of an inch CT two of spent
tan-bark, or the like, except close to
the stem, will materially protect it
from drying out, aud materially favor
its growth.

Rubbish for FattenIng Swine.

The Farm Journal says that ''cOa
ashes and clay are beneficial for hogs
when shut up to fatten. Hogs are
fond of cinders, coal ashes and clay
and improve in condition by eating q
certain portion of them every day
Some persons are unable to account
for this singular propensity in swine
Poultry are very fond of egg shells
lime, sand, ETC., and it is we'll known
the substances are necessary in order
to form the shells of eggs, and to
furnish material for the bones of fowls
Now it is reasonable 10 suppose that
swine eat ashes and cinders for the
purpose of supplying material fol
their bones, and this singular instinct
in animals so low in the scale of in.
telligence is truly wonderful, for ash
es contain the ingredients which arc
necessary to form bones, viz: clay,
SILICA, coal, cinders, soft lime, stone
and rotten wood, &C., with their food,
which contain the necessary iEgredi-
ents; but when they are pent up, they
endeavor to supply the material ne
OCoShi iOt nOOPihS w e"Sh Aa"H'Se
by devouring ashes and ciniers. Let
them have plenty Of them.'
There are usually two sides to all
such questions. Let swine have a
proper supply of suitable food, and
they will not touch cinders, coal ashes
rotten wood and charcoal, any sooner
than they will cat their horny hoofs.
Swine eat all such rubbish to distend
the stomach when the food lies heav-
lily i'm it. Grain and meal ia very
heavy food. The bulk of such food is
not equal to the nouiishment contain
cd in it. Hence, swine, if confined,
will swallow whatever they can get,
because bulk is eminently important
to promote good digestion. When
fattening swine are allowed TO roam
in yard where they can get a supply
of grass, they will not touch charcoal
and other rubbish. Let boiled pota-
tees or steamed apples or pumpkins
be mingled with their feed, or supply
them with few pounds Of green clo-
vcr at every meal, which will aid in
giving bulk to their heavy food, and
they will trample all those good
things under their feet.

people safe there.
So long as Christian men refuse to
take charge of amusements, and aban-
don them to selfish men, SO long they
will have incidental mischiefs. But
Christianity ought to cast out the dew
il from amusements, and restore them
to their right mind, and let them
serve religion as now they too often
serve vice.
