ternity was sought out and when found ar
rested. However, as soon as the ''bOys" be-
came aware they we're wanted they glided
into bowers where woOdbine twineth, and
there most of them must remain until they
can make arrangements to seek other
homes. Several were arrested and taken
before Judge Gernon, who made something
like a compromise with few, who gave
bonds in $500, and agreed to leave our city,
which means something or nothing. They
can keep good their promise by going to
CarrOllton on the horse car, and returning
when they please. One thing is now very
certain-these vampires will not be per-
mitted to work New Orleans, at least not
at present, when thousands of strangers
are visiting us for pleasure. If we are not
mistaken these rascals have received crash
that they will not overcome for many day.
Strict orders have been issued from police
headquarters for officers to arrest all ropers,
cappers, pickpOckets, and such.

was handed to US for publication, written at
police headquarters by authority:

same, and to inform you that the Superin.
tendent, under instructions long standing.
has anticipated your action in the premises
by issuing orders on Thursday evening, the
twelfth instant, for the arrest of any and
all persons known to be ''ropers," if found
on the streets, which resulted in the arrest
of four or five of the fraternity. Also. on
yesterday morning. another gang were
arrested, who are before the First Municipa!
Police Court to-day for trial.
Further. that the Beard of Police Com

PRUNING APPLE TREES.

W. H. Odin, of Yates county, N. Y,
furnishes the GERMANTOWN TELEGRAPH
with some very seasonable suggestions
on the above important subject, and as
this is the season to put them into
practice we republish them for the
benefit of our agricultural readers who
contemplate pruning or planting out
orchards:
"This is question often asked, and
l will answer it according to my view.
l speak of course for this locality, be-
cause | am better acquainted with it,
though think the apple tree every
where needs the same treatment.
They should be pruned as soon after
the leaves fall as convenient, but GER
tainly before the first of March, and if
any large limbs are to be cut away, the
sooner the better My reason is this !:
If it is done at the time indicated, when
the vital action of the tree is nearly
suspended, the place where limb is
removed dries perfectly sound and hard,
SO that it is impervious to air and moist
ure. Here let me say that all the
wounds of an inch or more in diameter
should be covered with a coat of shellac
varnish, which will effectually prevent
the admission of moisture from without;
but small wounds will soon heal and
grow over with layer of new wood.
If pruned when the circulation is ac-
tive, the wounds will be likely to bleed
and the sap will run down the tree and
blacken the bark on the outside, and at
the same time the wood of the heart
will turn black and soon rot especially
is this the case with young trees in the
nursery.
Persons purchasing trees to plant,
should look closely at it that they are
clean and bright. If they are discolor-
ed to any great extent, and show black
streaks down from where limbs have
been cut in pruning, the probability is
that they will be tender and break in
two with little bending, and will be
black in the middle. Avoid them
they will not make good thrifty trees
after transplanting. once spoiled a
good lot of trees by pruning them late
in the Spring. They made good
growth and were nice looking trees in
the Fall when ready for digging, ex-
cept the blackening of the bark but on
examining them l found them badly
injured with canker, so destroyed them
all. If persons want to cut scions for
grating, it should be done before any
very severe freezing and the scions
kept in moss or the butts set in box
of loan, just damp enough to keep them
from shrinking"

THE USE OF SALT.

Common salt l have used much the
last twenty-five years, and am convinc-
ed of its advantages on drained and
well-farned land, especially on light
land I; for where salt is used the moist
ure of the air will be abundantly ap-
propriated and retained. About FIVE
O'Clock one fine Summer morning, l
noticed that where the salt had been
sown the previous day, every grain of
salt had attracted to itself the dew, and
formed on the surface of the ground a
wet spot about the size of sixpence,
the ground being generally very dry
On our light lands it consolidates them,
and makes them firm and acceptable to
the wheat plant, whose straw will stand
firm and erect, although four and ahalf
to FIVE feet long 1t is also unfavorable
to certain weeds by this consideration.
1t prevents the ravages of wire worm.
1t especially favorable to saline plants,
such as mangold, whose ashes contain
fifty per cent of salt. | never SOW
guano except mixed with its own
weight of salt. Like everything else,
it has, / am sorry to SLY, risen in price.
l observe that all crops seem to thrive
we'll on land near salt water, especially
where the land is drained. Jumps of
rock salt should always be placed in
managers for horses and cattle; their
instinct teaches them when to avail of
it. The spring consolidation of light
land, where wheat is sown, by sailing
and heavy crosskilling, greatly benefits
the crop; very light hand hoeing should
follow these operations, although fire.
quent hoeing is scarcely required. Lie
big, in his " Natural Laws of Husband
ry," chap. xii, p. 335, correctly describes
nitrate Of soda and common salt as
chemical means for preparing the
soil" Referring to the experiments,
he says (p. 800: "In both these series
of experiments, the crops Of corn and
straw were remarkably increased by
the addition of common salt; and it is
scarcely necessary to repeat that such
an augmentation could not possibly
have taken place unless the soil had
contained certain quantity of. phos-
phoric acid, silicic acid, potash, ETC.,
capable of being brought into operation,
but which, without common salt, was
not assimilable." Liebig also says
Up. $500: "The grass of a meadow
which has been MANFRED with common
salt, is eaten by cattle with greater
relish, and preferred to any other; SO
that even from this point of view, COM
mon salt deserves attention as a ma
nure-ALDERMAN MECH.

PRESERVING MANURE.-The Boston
Journal of CHEMISTRY states that the

PRESERVING MANURE.-The Boston
Journal of Chemistry states that the
sources of loss in the storage of manure
are two; first, the escape of volatile
ammonia and other gases and, second
ly, the loss of valuable salts by leach
ing. The first difficulty may be obviat-
ed by covering the excrement with eight
or ten inches of good soil or loan,
which will absorb all escaping gases.
A bushel or so Of plaster may be ad-
vantageously scattered over the heap
before the soil is thrown on. The
whole mass should be perfectly covered,
leaving no chimney for gaseous ex-
udation. The danger of teaching may
be avoided by covering the heap with
hay or straw sufficiently thick to shed
most of the rain. If kept in this way
sufficient time, the manure will under
go spontaneous decomposition, the pro-
ducts of which will he ready for imme-
date assimilation by plants. The usual
process Of carting manure to the fields
in the Autumn to waste, by both the
above processes, some of their most
valuable constituents is bad practice.

WINTERING BEEs-Could have or
dered the weather the past Winter, 1
could not have been suited better. Our
losses had been severe the two preced-
ing ones, causing much anxiety The
past Winter will throw much light on
many points that have been suggested
as the cause of loss We have had
warm spells frequently, which seem to
be additional proof that steady cold
: was at the bottom of the trouble.
That dysentery is not caused by the
quality of the honey, is strongly proved
by their being none of it when they
have been sufficiently warm. l know a
lot of bees that were kept in cellar
from November 10th, where the mercu-
ry was not below forty-two degrees nor
above fifty degrees during the time
Never in better condition-combs bright
and clean. hope that whoever has
kept strict account of the temperature
will report condition of their bees,
whether disquieted from any cause, and
how much. We shall, after a while
get the proper temperature, so that we
can winter bees as safely and surely as
cattle or horses.
