Temperature in Cultivation.

At the late meeting of the Michigan
Pathological Society at Muskegon, Mr..
S. B. Peck, in his address of welcome, in
his remarks on temperature and reasons
of failure in the cultivation of fruits and
tender vegetables planted in the home
stead garden, in alluding to the capacity
of different kinds of matter to receive
and retain the heat of thesun after night
fall said: As rule those substances
that are the slowest to receive heat are
the slowest to part with it. Earth and
water, the two kinds of matter we have
most to do with. are good Illustrations;
the former receives readily the heat of
the sun as soon as he appears, but parts
with this heat rapidly as soon as he dis
appears. Water is the reverse, slow to
receive and to part with heat, requiring
thirty times as much heat to raise it up
to the same temperature. Our buildings,
whether of wood or brick. hold the heat
received during the day much longer
than the bare earth, and thus influence
to prevent frost in their bulks. An IL
lustration of this fact came under my OBJ
servation at the time of a damaging frost
early in May of 1878, that destroyed
most of the apples, grapes and berries,
and all of the peaches, plums and cher
ries in all fiat open exposures near here,
while all Of these fruits were a complete
success in an inclosure of eight to twelve
rods on which were two two story and
two smaller buildings, with a well-6lled
woodshed. Theinfluence ofthese wooden
structures to retain heat extended to a
distance Of seventy-fve feet, as | l.ad
ample evidence The same things hap
pened in much less degree on the morn
ing of May 7th, inst. The success Of
grapes seems to depend on the amount Of
summer heat they receive. Isabellas
that seldom and Catawbas that never
ripen here in open field have come to
| perfection two years in succession,
/ trained two feet distant from the build=
! ings above mentioned

No favoritism in the distribution of civil

color or condition; the ample issue by the
government of full legal tender currency
to meet the business needs and pay all the
country's debts; recognize the appalling
condition of the country, and hold that the

folly to hope for relief from either of
them; charge that the recent legislation
has been solely in the interests Of the mon
! led aristocrats and corrupt corporations;
denounces the whole refunding scheme as

labor: the national banking system should
/ be abolished; tariff for the protection oil
American industry should be maintained
until free financial system shows it uu
necessary to tax labor for the support oI
capital; an income tax should take the
place of an internal revenue tax; demand!
