The Cause of Fellows i'm Peach Trees,

WHATEVER may be or may not be the
cause of the yellows in peach trees, one
thing is reliable, namely: If a liberal
quantity of lime be spread about some
trees, and wood ashes or dissolved pot
ash around other trees, on a different
soil, the yellows will disappear. This has
been proven over and over again, until
all doubts have been removed. Con
corning this subject Thomas Meehan
writes that if you dig around a peach
with the yellows, you will be first struck
with mushroomy smell. Picking out
the roots and examining them with a
lens you will see millions Of thread-like
fibers, which are the myceliG of fungi.
These eat the young fibers, and leave
only the main roots, through which all
the nutriment of the plant has to be
gathered; and as an old root is unable to
do much more than draw in water, the
tree becomes in measure starved, and
the leaves become yellow, just as they
would be if growing in poor soil, which,
though the plant might have plenty of
roots, furnished nothing for the roots to
eat. To have plenty of roots and no
food is equivalent to having plenty OF
food and no roots. The effect on the
plant is just the same. Remedies which
look to the destruction of this root para
site are employed. Hot water has done
it; so has weak solution of salt. Others
have found a solution of potash succeed.
The exact nature of this fungus, SO fa1
as we know, has not been investigated to
entire satisfaction. Fungi are very
polymorphous. This one may enter into
the circulation of the plant, and exist in
that case as an apparently distinct
species, extending through the tissue
and destroying it as it goes. This seems
likely from some experiments by Mr.
Thomas Taylor, of the Department of
Agriculture. At any rate it is generally
believed that a bud, or even knife used
in pruning deceased tree, will commu-
nicate the disease to a healthy one.-Neat

A SINGULAR and affecting trait is re.
corded of the bison when young. When
ever COW bison falls by the hand of the
hunter, and happens to have a calf, the
helpless creature, instead of attempting
to escape, stays by its fallen dam, with
many expressions of strong affection.
The mother being secured, the hunter
makes no attempt on the calf, because
this is unnecessary, but proceeds to cut
up the carcass; and then, laying it on
his horse, he returns home, followed by
the young one, which thus instinctively
follows the remains of its parent. A
hunter once rode into the town OF Gin
cinnati, between the Miamis, followed IN
this manner by three calves, all OF which
had just lost their dams.

Opportunity to Try an Organ Before
Purchasing.

Many person is haR persuaded that
a Cabinet Organ would be capital
thing for his family; worth much more
than its cost Yet they are not sure
that it would be permanently valued,
but fear that after few months use
the family would tire of it, and so it
would prove. poor investment The
Mason s. Hamlin Organ Co. now offer
their famous Cabinet Organs on terms
which will satisfy all such. They will
rent an organ with privilege of purchase.
The party hiring may try it as long as
he pleases, paying only the rent for it
while so doing. If he concludes to pur-
chase within year, all the rent he has
paid is allowed and deducted from the
price of the organ.-EGch.

"The name of DIR. R. ". Pierce has become

a corps of able and skilled physicians stand

sicians are in frequent consultation with DIR.
Pierce, and their combined experience is
brought to bear on the successful treatment

large medical experience, and his extensive
knowledge of materia medica has been ac-
knowledged by presentations of degrees from

How meritorious his works are may be in
fefred from the fact that his pamphlets and

have been in heavy demand. As an evidence
