A writer in an English journal suggests
the use of ordinary su'phuric acid, or oil
of vitroil, as an excellent agent for the
destruction Of weeds on lawns. The
difficulty Of eradcating such unsiyhtfy
elements of the lawn is well understood,
since to do SO satisfactorily requires the
removal of Il large amount of dirt, pro
ducing corresponding injury to the
general appearance. BY taking the acid
in question, and allowing few drops to
fall into the crown of any obnoxious
weeds, it will turn them brown in an in
slant, and ultimately cause the death of
the plant Great care of course must be
taken to prevent any of the acid from
falling upon the skin or article of cloth
iny. but, with ordinary care, Il large
amount of surface can be treated in ii
short time with most excellent general
results. The fall is good Sine to oper-
ate

The Commcrciat Uerald says of Cali
fornia pears: California is noted the
world over for the growth of its pears.
Fl. Oppenheimer, Il merchant of Sonora,
Tuolumne county, exhibits three pears
in his garden, which, together, weigh
pounds and Il ounces ayoirdupois. The
first measures inches in height, circum-
fercnch 1864 inches, weight , pounds and
IL ounces; the second is ! inches in
height, 1911 in circumference, weight
pounds and ounces The third is the
largest, measuring 8 inches in height, has
a circumference of 1875 inches, and
weighs exactly 4 pounds. Mr. Open
hcimer says that IS pears, averaging
three pounds each, grew on one tree, a
four year old plant, and, singular as it
may seem, no prop was required to hold
up its branches. The pears are of the
mammoth variety. The mountain
counties have always enjoyed the repu-
tation of growing the sweetest varieties
Of fruit; but the evidence of these pears
shows that they can compete in size with
all corners.

Sucl Foster says in the UorticnNarist:
when transplant a tree, if am very
careful to have the moist soil placed firm
ly in contact with every portion of the
roots, the tree is likely to live, even with
out any 'spongiolcs.' But if save nearly
all the 'spongio!cs' and plant them care
fully in the moist soil, and cover the
large roots with dry straw, keeping off
the light AND exterior air, then the tree is
likely to die; the 'spongioles' will not save
it. The whole root of IL tree is Il 'spongi-
OLE absorbing moisture wherever the
moist earth comes in contact with the
roots.

Dr.. II. Latham writes to the Omaha
Herald:
with such sheep and wool growing
country as we have here, endless, gate
less and boundless;' with such great
and increasing home and foreign demand;
with such examples of rapid increase in
sheep and wool productions, who shall
doubt that in twenty years we shall rival
Australia aud South America in not only
the quantity but quality of their woods,
and that the wool buyers from all the
great manufacturing centres of the world
will visit our plains and valleys in search
of the fibre susceptible of such wonder
full and varied uses, and that with our
wool-production there will spring up
manufactures here that shall rival Brad
ford, Huddersfield, Halifax and Leeds in
England, and Rheims, Elbeuf and Rou-
baiX in France, in the magnitude and
beauty of their fabrics?
Along the whole length Of the Union
Pacific Railway, along the Central Pacific
Railway, along the Kansas Pacific Rail
way, III the valleys of the thousands Of
streams bordered with timber for build
ings and fences, there are untold millions
of acres of luxuriant grazing lands, where
sheep can be put down from New Mexico,
Iowa, Illinois, Missouri and other States
for So per head Shepherds can be hired
from $50 to $40 per month that can
readily herd 5000 head. Thousands of
tons of hay can be cut on all our streams.
Wool has been carried by rail from San
Francisco to Boston for $1.lO per one
hundred pounds. Double decked sheep
cars, carrying 200 sheep, can be had from
the base of the Rocky mountains to
Chicago markets for $3.50, thereby put
ting down fat wethers in market for IS
cents per head. Dressed mutton car
casses are delivered from the Rocky
mountains in New York for $l.75 per
hundred, car load rates.
If our trans Missouri sheep and wool
growing interest makes as much head
way in 1871 as the cattle interest did in
1870 there will be 100000 sheep along
the Union Pacific Railroad, between
North Platte and Ogden, at the end of
next year.
