RENOvATING PEACH TREEs.-Peach trees,
after few crops, will, unless properly
cared for. cease to grow good fruit, and in
many instances decay and die, whereas
their natural life reaches to fifty or sixty
years. The cause of this premature decay
IS oWiRg TO deficiency Of potash in the
soil; and If this alkali is supplied the tree
will at once revive and its fruit bearing
powers be restored.
Many persons attribute this premature
defect in the tree 10 worms in the root, and
they go to work digging about the roots
in hopes Of finding the fell destroyers,
whereas the real cause is lack Of the
peculiar aliment upon which the tree
depends for its health and vigor. This is
potash, and if the earth to the depth Of
four or FIVE inches about the root of the
tree is removed and its place filled with
unslaked ashes, the potash they contain
will be dissolved by the rain and absorbed
by the roots, and thus the tree is restored
TO its former health and vigor, and con-
tinues to bear abundant crops of fine fruit
for many years. An occasional application
Of soapsuds about the roots has also been
found highly benefcial.-Bah. Sun.

CENTENNIAL NIsITORS.-The Phila. Price
r4w' says Up to the present time the
average daily attendance at the Centennial
Exposition has not been sufficiently large
10 Justify the anticipation of ten million
visitors during the whole period. Exclu-
~ye OF the Sundays daily attendance of
'j.Ooo paying and non-paying visitors
would be necessary. and so far the average
has been only about half those figures. At
the same time. it must not be forgotten
that our Centennial has been attended so
ttr, by more than twice as many people as
iatIonizcd any of the previous Interna.
tional Exhibitions in Europe, including the
last On. neld ri Paris, the most successful
al them all. This Is encouraging, in the
midst of numerous drawbacks. The steady
increase III numbers day by day, when the
weather has been favorable, is in strict ac-
cordance with the experiences in Europe,
aad II II should continue up to the close
w. shall have nearer fifteen than ten
millions of visitors, and thus we may
establish our claim to having the largest
and most attractive international EXhibi-
iion heretofore held. OF one thing we
may be reasonably confident and that is.
that the first week of July will witness
such an influx of strangers to our city as
'''cF 49, pclcre urilWh 10 1 1HlIauelpn2 or
any other city in the world for similar
purpose. Half million visitors to the

ted with absolute certainty. After this
period there will probably be a slight
falling off from the present averages which
may run through the balance Of July and
the whole Of August, but with the advent
Of the Fall with its bright, clear days and
cool. refreshing nights. there can be no
doubt that the number will steadily aug
ment up to the close on the 10th OF
November. The Exhibition is now posses
sed of all or nearly all its attractions, and
the low rates of railroad fare obtainable on
all the leading trunk roads between the
