Ammonia and borax are both excellent
rtieles TO have i'm house for washing
purposes. They will unite promptly with
any kind or oil or grease and form a soap.

Don't whiterash the bark upon the
bodies of fruit and ornamental trees. We
are at a loss to know for what purpose
some persons thus coat the bark of fruit
and shade trees, unless it is to make them
look nice. Ii does them more harm than
good, as it serves TO obstruct the respira-
tory organs, and in a measure prevents
thrifty growth. Should the bark become
diseased and rough, or covered with moss,
scrape it thoroughly with hoe or scraper
of some suitable description, after which
wash thoroughly with strong solution
of soap and water. Ii this is done prop
erly every season, it will prove a great
benefit by destroying the insects which
prey upon the bark, and otherwise pro-
noting healthy condition thereof, and
