Experiment.. with Crab Apple Trees.

Mr.. S. S. Wing, of this city, has been
experimenting upon the crab apple trees
in his garden, and the results are suffi-
GENTLY interesting to warrant recital.
When the trees were in blossom Mr..
Wing girdled one of the most vigorous
limbs on each tree, cutting out strip of
bark one-fourth of an inch wide COM
pletely around the limb. Instead of
killing the limb, as one would suppose
it added strength and vigor to its growth,
and these girdled limbs are now loaded
with handsome fruit, the apples all be-
ing about the same size, and the smallest
of them larger than the largest ones on
any other portion of the tree. Mr..
Wings theory is that the circulation of
sap is upward through the wood and
and back by the bark, or between the
bark and wood, By removing a narrow
strip of bark the flow of sap into the
extremity of the limb is not retarded,
but its return to the trunk is substan-
TALLY cut off for time. This theory is
supported by the fact that new bark
forms from the upper edge of the cut,
and, growing downward, gradually re-
covers the limb, SO that at the end of the
season the wound is entirely covered
over with the new bark. Mr.. Wing has
experimental on his trees in this manner
for five years past, he informs us, and
always with result similar to the above.
To cut out too wide o strip of bark
would doubtless beinjurious and perhaps
fatal, but Mr.. Wing is inclined to think
that the tree might be narrowly girdled
with beneficial results. He proposes to
try the experiment another season.-St.
Paul Press.

Advice to Western Emlgrants.

The Ellsworth (Kan. Reporter gives
the following advice to those wanting
information:
We are receiving many letters from
parties in the East who want copy of
the Reporter to find out about this
country. If all come who write that
they intend to, there will be very little
good farming land left in Ellsworth
county one year from now. Most of
these people want farms, some are car
penters and want work. There is land
plenty for the farmers, but we can give
little encouragement to carpenters
One Of our best carpenters said to us the
other day that nine-tenths Of the men
who come here are carpenters. There
is work for the farmer to get his ground
ready for seeding and house to live in.
Many families come west without any
money on hand, but cash enough ought
to be brought along to furnish supplies
for the first year. Much can be raised
the first season to supply the table but
it takes about year to raise crop and
turn it into cash.
Our correspondent wants to know all
about this country. 1t is good coun-
try to live in. Society is good. There
are live people all through the West.
The young man who comes here ex-
pecting to be elected Representative
the first year of his residence, will find
smarter men than he is in his way.
Kansas people believe in schools and
new corners will find school houses plen-
ty, and good teachers generally. AS for
the climate there is no other State that
is so highly favored. The same is true
in regard to roads, there is but little
mud here and no stagnant ponds.
There is still great deal of land sub
ject to entry, and the X. p. r. w. Co.
have thousands of acres of choice land to
sell on II years time at from S4 to SO an
acre. Wheat is the principal crop rails
ed and is largely cultivated, hundred
acre fields being plenty. Corn is also
cultivated largely rye was never known
to fail; oats, barley, and other small
grains do well. Raising broom corn is
profitable business, and many farmers
have large fields of it. Fruits can be
successfully cultivated - peaches es-
pecially doing well, the trees coming
into bearing when three or four years
old.
This country is considered as pre-
eminently adapted to stock raising.
Cattle and sheep subsist large part of
the year on the natural grasses. Stock
raising is a profitable business and is
largely engaged in.
In short, this is a most beautiful
country to look at-a delightful country
to live in-where one can have health,
and, if he is wisely industrious, wealth.

TRANSIT OF VENUS.-In 1875
scientific expeditions were sent out by
the United States, Great Britain and Sc
veral other nations to observe the transit
of Venus. The cost of these expeditions
ls now announced as having reached the
large sum of one million dollars, of
which Great Britain paid two hundred
thousand. This sum will seem to un-
scientific persons a very large amount to
pay for an endeavor to ascertain the
suns distance from the earth, more par
ticularly as astronomical science han not
thereby ascertained that distance, except
approximately. But the sum is insignifi-
cant in comparison with the great ad-
vantage to be derived from even an ap-
proximate calculation of this problem ,as
on it depends the solution of much that
is of vast importance to practical as well
as speculative science. And there is no
comparison between it and the abortive
results so far of the numerous Arctic ex-
