LOCUST STINGING.
Prof. j. Braiuerd then asked the follow
ing question, stating that in the spring of
1869 he planted $500 budded select peach
trees in Prince Georges county, and they
were badly stung by l~ocusts; per-
haps 500 died by fall; all were injured and
stanted. Now, will they ever fully recover
from the shock?
Mr.. Peasants stated in reply that, four
teen years before the period named, he had
a young orchard of Newtown pippin apples,
mostly of which were very badly stung,
and in the fall of the same year he pruned
below the parts affected, and, as a result,
had, in shape and symmetry, a magnificent
orchard; besides, the branches being lower,
the fruit was more easily gathered. lie,
Mr.. Saul and others recommended that il
they had been left to themselves and had
not rallied, they should have been grubbcd
up and burned. In the end it would be
money in pocket, although apparently a
rough treatment and a hard cure.
Mr.. Bryan asked if it was profitable to

says: ''The world-renowned fruit of tenn
pcrate climates" And that temperate
climate our section of country enjoys in its
fullest extent. The size of the trees to be
planted in the general orchard is another
matter for consideration, and while in theo-
ry many advise to plant small trees, yet,
practically, it is better in the main to have
them of good size, SO that when intrusions
