fuls of wheat flour, three of yellow corn

Hot Water about Peach Trees.-It
has been recommended by those who have
tried it to apply pail of hot water to the
collar of peach trees in spring, and top
will prevent "yellows" and kill the borer,
or arrest the work of the grub in its incip-
| lent stages. In support of this practice
and its advantages, we have the testimony
of several prominent fruit growers.

bands of sheathing-paper six or eight
inches wide, tack them around the trunks
of the trees, and then cover them with
refuse printers ink The ink costs 1871
cents per pound, requires from two to
four applications each season, and the

CONTAGIOUS Cattle Diseases. - Some
idea of the importance of more rigid in
spection, and the necessity of being on
our guard constantly against the con
tagious diseases, like pleuro-pneumonia,
foot and mouth disease, rinderpest, etc,
NAV be formed from the fact that in the
years 1866, when the diseases were then
unusually prevalent in England, the mum
Der of cattle that died or were necessarily
destroyed, amounted to quarter of a
millionl Think what an amount OF
property that implies, and what suffering
the loss of so many head of cattle mus
have brought upon the farming commun
ity. Let us beware of contagious cattle
diseases, and give them no quarter.-MdsS
