l would like to give your readers Q
plan ola gate which have used for the
last twenty years. I think it is the best
farm or barn.ysrd gate in use. The
gate runs on wheels, on . board or on
tho ground, extending back % far as il
runs. It moves back between q double
temporary fence. To make the gate first
lay down two boards, one at the top and
one at the bottom. The top and bottom
boards are double, or one on either side
of braces. Now lay on your end and
brace strips, then lay on gate-boards and
nail all solid together. I use 6-inch
boards for the bottom and finch for the
rest. would like to give some of the
advantages of this gate: First, it costs
scarcely nothing to make; 10 cents worth
of maleable nails is all the iron used for
a gate, and any farmer can make them by
burning common nails. It is always in
the right place, not blown around by the
wind when left unfastened. Ifyou have
a wild team of colts. you can open and
shut this gate and not let 60 the lines.
No extra posts are used, any common
fence post is sufficient. It never sags.-

British Grain Crops.

The Mark Lane Express, in its review
of the crop and grain trade, ssys:
The report of the present condition Of
the crops are hopeful. The weather dur
ing the past week has been fine and in
every way favorable to agricultural op'
CITATIONS. The appearance of the wheat
plant is generally healthy. Under the
influence of the improved appearance Of
the country and considerably increased
foreign supplies, our local trade has Is.
sumed quieter tone. The arrivals Of
Indian wheat has been large. Unless
some new aspect of the eastern question
or An unfavorable change in the weather
should give the spur to speculation, it ID
probable that trade will continue calm
and lifeless, although the short supply Of
English wheat will necessitate the Gen.
tinuance of steady demand tor con-
sumption, increased at times by CONT
mental requirement. Recent favorable
winds have brought into ports of call a
fair number of cargoes which are firmly
held, especially as political matters re-
main in such uncertain state, and the
possibility of war, although unacknowl-
edged by many, still looms up in the
background.

The following is trsnslation from Fl
Azcsr;o, paper published at Valparaiso
g. A. Iplanted peach orchard, writes
NJ. Siroy, of the Society of Horticle, and
the trees grew we'll and strongly. They
had but just commenced to bud when
they were invaded by the curculio
(pslgosb which insects were followed ~
frequently happens by ants. Having
cut some tomatoes, the idea occurred to
me that, by placing some of the leaves
around the trunks and branches of the
peach trees, might preserve them from
the rays of the sun, which were very
powerful. Ny surprise was very great,
upon the following day to find the trees
entirely free from their enemies, not one
remaining, except here and there where
q curled leaf prevented the tomato from
exercising its influence. These leaves l
carefully unrolled, placing upon them
fresh ones from the tomato vine, with
the result of banishing the Last insect
and enabling the trees to grow with lux
uriarce. Wishing to carry still further
my experiment, stepped in water some
fresh leaves of the tomato, and sprinkled
with this infusion other plants, roses and
oranges. In two days these were xlso
free from the innumersble insects which
covered them, and l felt sure that had l
used the same means with my melon
patch I should have met the same result.
I therefore deem It . duty I owe to the
Society OF, Horticulture to make known
this angular and useful property of the
tomato leaves, which discovered by the
merest accident.
