Curl Leaf.

A. c. Meeker, of Lodi writing to
the Stockton Leader under date Of
April 9th, gives the following con-
corning curl leaf in peaches !:
~ desire, through the medium Of
your columns to give, for the benefit
of your readers, the cause of, as we'll
as the remedy for, the curled leaf in
the peach. And l speak from thor
ough experience, and know whereof
speak. The cause of the curled leaf is
this: The hot sun in the Summer and
Fall, during the dry season, dries the
bark on the trees, so that it becomes
bark-bound; and when the sap starts
up in the Spring, there is no room to
form o growth of wood, which is es-
sential to the health of the tree. In
consequence of the tree being bark
bound, the sap is forced up into the
top af the tree, thence out into the
leaves, which substance makes them
grow thick and pulpy, and the sun
curls them up, SO that you may take
them in your, hand and squeeze the
sap out of them. If let alone, the fruit
will drop off and the tree wither and
die. All this may be successfully
prevented by the following process
In the Spring, when the sap first starts,
take sharp knife and slit the bark
from the ground up into the branches.
This must be done i'm the new of the
moon. 1t will loosen the bark and
give the tree chance to grow, and the
sap will not be forced into the top of
the tree to such an extent as to form a
curled leaf, and the tree will be healthy
and the fruit better. 1t is not too late
yet to save yourf fruit. When you find
the leaves beginning to curl, take your
knife, in the new of the moon, and slit
the bark, as before stated, and in one
week you may take hold of the tree
and shake off the curled leaves, and
the fruit will still mature. I have
thus saved my fruit after it had at
tanned a good size. A. G. MEEKER."

"lF WE KNEW. /"

II we knew the woe and heartache
Waiting for us down the road,
II our lips could taste the wormwOOd,
flour backs could feel the load;
Would We waste to-day in wishing
For a time that meier can be;
Would We wait in such impatience
For Ctr ships 10 come ffc;ss: sea:
Strange we never prize the music
Till the sweet-vOiced bird has flown;
Strange that we should slight the viOlets
Till the lovely flowers are gone,
Strange that Summer skies and suns 1fne
Never seem one-half so fair
AS when Winters snowy pinions
Shake their white down i'll the air
Lips from which the seal of silence
None but God can roll away,
Never blossomed in such beauty
AS adorns the month to-day;
And sweet words that freight our memory
With her beautiful perfume,
Come to us in sweeter accents
Through the portals of the tomb.
Let us gather up the sunbeams
Lying all along our path,
Let us k ep the wheat and roses,
Casting out the thorns and chaff;
Let us find our sweetest comfort
In the blessings of to-day;
With patient hand removing
All the briers from our way.

SAABO's TAX RECEIPT.-A negro liv-
ing in neighboring county, having been
fortunate enough to accumulate consider
able of this worlds goods, desired, as all
loyal subjects should, to pay tax on the
same. 1t being new business to him,
he did not know that there was a proper
officer for receiving the tax, and conclud-
ed all that was necessary was TO find a
man with a white skin. Consequently
he hailed the first man he met with, "Say
boss, l want to pay my tax; mus / glib
it to you?" On being told that it would
be received by the comprehending white
gentleman, the negro gave him $25, and
he asked if that would be enough. 81
suppose tis," said the white man. "Boss,
GIN me showin' for dat" said the negro.
Again the wits of the white man were at
work, and he soon handed the negro a
slip of paper with the inscription, GAS
Moses lifted the serpent out Of the wilder
ness, likewise have | lifted twenty-five
dollars out of this d-n negro's pocket"
Not long after this the negro met the
tax collector proper. "Done paid it,
boss, and here's de 'ceipt," at the same
time handing the piece of paper to the
officer. He read: "As Moses lifted the
serpent out Of the wilderness, likewise
have l lifted twenty-five dollars out of
this d-n negro's pocket" "Hold on,
boss, you read UNI wrong" calculated
the as.onished darkey, as he snatched the
paper and carried it to another man,
who began to read, GAS Moses lifted"
here he was interrupted by the negro,
who exclaimed: Look-a-yar /; jest GIN
me dat paper, I'm gwine to lift dat white
man out'n his boots, Tor God l is."
With this he left, and, not having been
heard from since, it is supposed he is still
looking for the man to whom he paid his
tax.-D0ws0n (Go.) Journal.
