Aursin Fruit Orchards :.

L'Halia AgricoIa, in speaking OF the cut

vators OF Mantua are in the habit OF iorm-
ing colony OF ants every spring time at
the foot of each olive tree, with the certain
ty that the trees will remain untouched by
any other insects. The general opinion Is
that ants are enemies to fruit trees, but IN
Raizeburgh it has long since been proved
that ants destroy Larvae and chrysalides,
and that they do not touch the fresh fruit,
but only such as has been picked by the
birds. The opinion is fast gaining ground
that orchards would be greatly benefited
by the preservation Of ant nests.

stock should Have q Variety OF Food.

One Of the great difficulties in bringing
stock to a full degree of fatness is that they
often break down in their limbs through
the excessive accumulation OF fat. This is
particularly noticeable in swine, and espe-
cially when they are led exclusively on In
dian corn. This may be obviated in a
great measure by giving fattening animals
a variety of food during the earlier stages
Of fatteping, and finishing with corn. Plen-
" Of salt Is also essential. its office being
among other uses, to eliminate from the
