Liuseed Oil for Pear Blight.

The American Rural Home says -
"a year ago we gave some account OF
experiments by d. Z. Wescott, of this
city. in treating blighted pear trees with
linseed oil He had, in the latter part Of
of the previous year washed several pear
trees which had commenced blighting
with raw linsced oil, aud spread Of the
blight seemed to have been arrested, and
the trees had then put forth their foliage
which appeared perfectly healthy.
I'VE felt little anxious to know
whether those trees entirely recovered
or whether in the course of last season
they succumbed. So yesterday June LIST
we visited the grounds again, and were
pleased to find his trees looking perfectly
healthy, and making vigorous growth
of new wood. You can see upon the
trunks, and ON some Of the branches
the dead, blackcned exterior bark, show
ing the effects Of the blight, two years
since, but not leaf indicates that any
remnant of the disease remains. W.
took a knife, and cutting through tbt
dead bark, found the inner bark green anc
sound. We think that these results are
sufficient to warrant further trial Of the
remedy, as it is easily applied, and seems
to do the trees no injury"

the expense of Dramatically sealing. Moth
ing deleterious to health is used, as can be
seen by reference to the certificate of DR.. G..

and which have the permission to use. 1t
is simple, cheap, and requires little time and
labor. The cost does not exceed three cents

for Tomatoes. Cucumbers, Okra Peas Beans
and all kinds of Fruits, for a trihing sum. 1t
is especially adapted to the preservation of
Grapes, Peaches and Melons. Meats, and
Fish can be preserved eflectually the same
way at a cost not exceeding &c per 100 lbs.
Persons using this process will effect large
saving in their household expenses and have
fresh fruits, meats, vegetables etc, AT ALL
SEASONS OF THE YEAR 1t Is no humbug-
