horticultural Notes.

GRAPEs.-The editor of the HOTticultlp'-
iSt gives the three best family grapes in the
order OF excellence, as follows; Eumelan,
Israella, Ives; best medium, Concord;
best late, Senasqua; best white, Rebecca,
Croton, Martha; best amber grape, Wal
ter.
Moss on FRUIT TREEs.-A correspon-
dent of the London Garden recommends
a thin wash of caustic lime as better than
carbolc soap or lie for the instant removal
of moss. We have seen this remedy used
with great success in the orchard of y. NJ.
Purdy, of Palmyra, y. \. 1t was not so
thick as to make the trees glaring white.
DRYING FRUIT.-At a late meeting of
the Illinois Horticultural Society, the prof
its of drying 10y fire heat the surplus fruit
was freely discussed and on the whole was
discouraged as a matter Of profit. Wier
obtained only A. lbs. Of dried fruit from a
bushel of apples, and at the market price
lost by it, Different kinds of driers were
recommended, each thinking his own as
good as any, or best.
RooT PRUNING.-A writer in the Lon
don Garden strongly recommends root
pruning for over luXuriant trees which do
not bear. He says; In numerous cases
have seen an abundant crOp Of fine fruit
produced by pears and plums the very sea-
son after this root pruning had been per-
formed upon trees from which nothing
had been gathered for years previous"
The work must be done, of course, before
the trees start in spring.
PARIS GREEN AND CANRER WORM.-
c. NJ. Hooker, of Rochester, has reported
to the HoTticultOriSt his experience with
Paris green in destroying canker worms
He mixed it with eight times its bulk OF
air-slacked lime, tied the mixture in 8
thin muslin bag to a long pole, and busted
the leaves while the dew was on. The
next day scarcely live one could be found
AS Paris green is arsenic and deadly
poison, great care is necessary not tC
breathe any of the dust; no animals must
get at it, and cattle and horses be excluded
from the orchard where it is used. Mr.
Hooker thinks flour would be better than
air-slacked lime.

Frnii in PENNSYLVANIA.

NJ. y. B., Landsville, Pa, writes :
"With US everything looks lovely and
promising except peaches, which, think,
are pretty much all frozen. The proba-
bilities are that we will have some apples.
Grapes are out of the question, as nearly
all the vines are so badly frozen that there
will be very few. Grain and grass fields
promise well, and if nothing interferes, we
will have a good crop of both, there being
no wheat winter-killed, owing to the pro-
lection by snow. Spring with us is very
backward. Oats are all in the ground, and
farmers are preparing to put in their corn.
We are having very changeable weather /;
never more than two or three days fine
weather at q time.n

Planting Trees.

President n. Dinner, at meeting of the
Montgomery, Ohio, Horticultural Society,
said: What a mistake it is to suppose that
a tree will grow and do well, when plant
ing, to crowd the roots, which are often
two feet in diameter into whole one foot
wide, then throw on a shovelful or two OF
dirt and gravel, then stamp hard with the
foot. This is how many plant trees. You
have ali observed the same thing. When
you buy tree, let it be fruit or shade, get
holes not less than tree feet across, and two
feet deep; partly fill up the hole with good

Fatting HOgs-Maintalnlng their Appetltes

1t not unfrequently happens that hogs
put up to fatten show loss of appetite for
weeks at a time, eating but little and vast
ing a good deal. Alessrs Lewis and Gill
bert, the well-known English scientific
farmers, have encountered this difficulty
more or less, in addition TO positive disease,
and after many experiments have prepar-
ed compound which they state has been
very effecual The following are its ingre-
dents and the proportions:
90 lbs. finely-sifted coal ashes.
/ lbs. common salt.
! 10. superphosphate of lime.
They are duly mixed and put into a
trough where the hogs can have free ac-
cess to them at all times. In case where
three pigs were troubled with swelling
and difficulty of breathing, they consumed
8 pounds of this mixture during the first
fortnight, pound the second, and 8 again
the third. The expense of material is very
light. Those who have occasion to test the
prescription would confer favor on 9TH

FARM AND HOME.
CAN 7RU1r BE SAVED FROM FROST

The immense destruction of fruit by the
late frost this season suggests the question
of whether it is not possible for our far
mcrs by the proper tact and appliances, to
save at least portion Of their crop from
the general ruin. That artificial means,
such rs covering the fruit or building fires
in proximity to the trees, viii save limit
ed quantityis fixed fact. To what prac-
ticable extent this means could be employ
ed, we have no means of knowing. 1t GER
tainly is a matter worthy of consideration
at time when many hundred thousand
dollars worth of fruit is being swept away
i'm a single night. That the time is fast
approaching when science will come more
promptly to the farmers aid, is a very reas-
enable conclusion. We look confidently
signals now established throughout
the country for great benefits to the agri-
culturist in the near future. The pass
age of a storm across the country IS now
calculated with a close approximation to
accuracy after its existence, direction and
velocity are telegraphed from the stations
east of the Rocky Mountains. Is there
any reason why a wave, or storm if you
please, which brings the cold air from the
ice fields Of British America or the snow
capped peaks of the Rocky mountains
should not be calculated for in the same
manner in which a storm bringing rain is
predicted. If farmers who live within
easy reach of the telegraph could be in
formed one or two days in advance of the
approach of a cold wave which will
probably bring frost, some means might
be devised and adopted for saving large
and valuable portion of their fruit from
the ravages of the Northwesters.
We merely throw out the ABOVE hints for
subject OF debate by the numerous enter It
Tennessee and also for the consideration of
some of our scientific agriculturist whose
business it is to make such things a study
If any portion of the fruit crop could be
saved in this manner, we should like to
see it done and especially would it be of in
terest to the fruit grower when the general
scarcity makes the little raised so many
fold more valuable.

We have been interviewing a number of
our farmers in regard to the condition of
the growing crops. Some give very cheer
ing reports, and 9th ers complain that the
wheat is looking badly, and will turn out
poorly. From all we can gather, however,
the yield will be an average one. The
prospect for fruit is much better than had
been generally supposed Several fruit
growers with whom we have conversed,
who have orchards in elevated positions,
state that the heavy frosts and recent cold
spell affected the peaches and other fruits
but very little, and anticipate q large yield.
Although fruit will not be particularly
plentiful, we are glad to learn that we will
not be entirely cut off.n-Kiagstop East
