WHAT A POI.E-CAT MAT DO FOR A
PEAR TREE.

Animal matter contains all the
elements Of plant food, hence each
dead animal should be put at once
into tho compost heap. 1t is, under
ordinary circumstances, worth al
most as much there as it was on
foot and in good condition; and,
therefore, the practice Of hauling ii
away to bo devoured by dogs and
swine is decidedly n wasteful one.
We onoc knew a gardener, living
neor a small town, who had a con-
tract with the town authorities tor
all the dead animals found within
their corporate limits-thoy gladly
gave them to him tor the removing.
lie applied thom to tertilizing pur-
p~oscs--used nothing else-and the
result was tho finest orchard and
finest garden in that region, al
though many of his nOighbors cx-
pended large sums yearly for con-
centrated manures.
The usual mode Of composing
dead animals consists in cutting
them to pieces and working them
into the heap. In cases where no
regular compost heap is kept, the
pieces should be buried about the
roots of fruit trees, grape vines,
etc, placing something over thom
to prevent their elimination by
dogs. In touching on this theme,
Our Home Journal, ofNew Orleans,
says:
Mr.. Lyman recently remarked,
in a discussion on this subject be-
fore the New York Farmers Club,
that he could illustrate the advant-
age of animal acsh as food for trees,
by stating that during a late visit
to the farm of Mr.. Quinn, two pear
trees wore pointed out, one of which
WAS very inferior to the other in
size and thriftiness. On inquiry he
learned they were planted at the
same time, but it happened that the
carcass OF a pole-cat rested at the
root of the one, while the other was
not similarly favored, These two
pear trees have been bearing for
the past six years; the one yielding
one bushol, tho other two bushels, a
proportion which is likely to DO
kept up for twenty years longer.
This fact shows what q pole-cat
may do for a pear trce.[-Mobile
Register.
As pole-cats r not always con-
veniont or easy to catch, how would
rotten eggs doH The hint, how
ever, is a good one any dead ami
NAL buried near the roots Of fruit
trees will improve their bearing
capacity two'fold.

II will be remembered that about
some three months ago, we gave an
account of a negro man named
Frank May, coming to town to buy
arsenic, giving as his reason for the
purchase that he wanted to kill
rats. Being told by the druggist
that rat extcrmiAator was better

he purchased box of the latter,

who was sick, stating tho doctor
said she must take them. The
woman rubbed her hAnls with one
of the pills which emitted fire, but
being persuaded by Frank that she
must take them she did so, and died
from tho consequence. Frank was
arrested, and tried this week for
having poisoned his wife. The jury,
composed OF six white and six col

guilty in lcss than twenty minutes,
which Frank received with the
