Two Hundred Miles of Dead Fish.

The Key West FLA. Key says "Our
fishing smacks report a stream of fresh
or poisonous water along our bay coast
from two to ten fathoms out, that kills
all the fish in its range. They report
sailing for 200 miles through dead fish,
covering the sea as far as the eve could
reach with all the varieties. Immedi-
ately on the shore the water is salt and
natural, while less than mile off it
appears of red brick color.

For peach, apple and pear trees there
is no better plant-food than common
ashes scattered over the surface of the
soil under the tree. Cinders from black
smith shop or foundry are excellent for
the apple, pear and cherry. Common
salt scattered over the surface of the
earth under pear or apple trees about as
thickly as you do wheat when seeding, is
highly recommended as an antidote to
blight. This also secures protection
against the aphis on pears or other fruit
trees. The aphis is a small woolly in

pear trees, frequently destroying life.
