AGRICULTURE.

OUNCES AND THEIR CULTIVATION -
Why is it that the ounce, which is as
hardy and as well adapted to our soil
and climate as the apple, is compara-
lively scarce, and commands, on an
average, three or four times as much
in our markets? There is seldom, If
ever, "glut''-in the market, and prices
are uniformly remunerative, bringing
the producers for handsome fruit from
two to four dollars a bushel in New
York and Boston nearly every season.
The apple, in the fresh or dried state,
enters into the annual supplies of every
family as cider, vinegar, jelly, sauce
and other preparations, and is also
profitable feed for our domestic animals,
while not one family in ten knows any
thing of ounce preserves and jellies.
1t is really one OF the most appetizing
and wholesome of the sweetmeats found
among the stores of our housewives; !;
and the cultivation of this fruit should
be greatly extended. We know OF no
fruit which promises such good returns
as this 10 the intelligent fruit grower.
If we look at the ounce plantations as
we ordinarily find them, they are few
and far between in the farming dis
t-icts. The popular fancy is that the
bush flourishes best on damp soil, and
if there te an undrained swale on the
premises we may safely look for the
ounce bushes there More frequently
than otherwise they stand in the grass,
receive no cultivation, and after few
brief years die, either from the attacks
of the borer or from stagnant water.
Under such treatment the trees have no
chance TO bear frrit and make them
selves profitable. The ounce wants a
deep, rich, rather moist soil, but II must
always be well drained. Good corn
land, that will bear na1imum1 crops OF
grain will bear good ounces. No fruit
pays better for thorough cultivation,
and the ground should always be kept
under the spade or plow, and should, if
we want abundant fruit, receive good
dressing Of manure every season. The
bush or tree requires very little other
care than the occasional thinning out
of the branches if they crowd too
closely. The thinning of the fruit,
where it sets abupdantly, will increase
the size and protitableness OF the crop
that remains. The fruit, as well Is the
flower, is quite ornamental, and an at
tractiye feature ia October and Novem-
Der. The Apple or Orange ounce Is oy
far the best variety. It ripens earlier
and brings the best price in market.
The ounce is easily propagated from
cuttings, and this is tie simplest and
best method of multiplying desirable
variety. Cuttings put down in the
spring in moist, well drained soil, a
little shaded, will root about as readily
as the currant. In making planta-
ton the young trees should be set at
least ten feet apart, and if the soil Is
rich, fourteen feet will be none too
much.

YELLOW FEVER PREvENTIvEs Many
of our old citizens think that pulveTized
willow charcoal is almost sure pre-
ventive of yellow fever. They point to
the fact that many families constantly
used it during every visitation of yellow
fever, and that not one of them had the
disease. The proper way to use it is
mixed with little sugar and water,
tablespoonful at dose, once or twice
day before meals. 1t can be had of any
druggist. Others have great confidence
in turpentine. They say that it is the
best disinfectant of rooms now known,
and that Bronze John refuses TO call
when turpentine is kept constantly
open in small vessels in every room. A
little poured in a saucer and kept in
every room in dwellings, is sufficient.

TRANsPLANTING EXPERIENCE.-Plants
should be placed in a hole filled with
water, and the roots covered with dry
earth. They will not wilt when set in
this way. Dig the holes first and carry
the water along in pail and pour it in
setting the plant as soon as possible.
The water al the roots will keep the
plant fresh and green, and the Cry
earth around it at the surface will keep
the moisture from evaporating. Tomato
plants grown in hot beds are generally
tall, slender things; they should be set
In the same way and bent over so that
the stalks may be bent over and covered
with soil, leaving only the heads out of
the ground. This is the layering pro-
cess, and when thus set they will do
much better; new roots will start out
from the stalks or stems, and the plants
will not be knocked about so much by
the wind.

a method of reproducing the famous,

Egyptians has been recently patented,
and, from the results attained, it would
appear that the inventor, if he has not
discovered the ancient process, has de-

gilded glass is glass into which gold is
so worked that many hundreds of years
have failed to effect any change, or to
tarnish the gold. The trustees of the
