LOOK TO THE FRU1T-TREEs.

We consider early winter to be the best
time for scraping and washing the trunks of
trees, though the present time will do very
well when it has not been previously at
tended to. 1t is well known to all obsery-
ing fruit-growers that the loose bark of trees
is the winter-qnarters of myriads of insects,
where they securely remain until the ensu-
ing spring, when the warm, genial weather
invites them to quit their cosy homes and
begin their destructive operations for the
season. We have found narrow saw,
rather fine-toothed, to be an excellent tool
in rasping off the superfuous bark. It ac-
complishes it more uniformly than hoe,
trowel, or other scraper; q trowel or short
handled hoe, however, is very good. when
the other may not be possessed. After the
bark is removed, the trunks should be wash
ed thoroughly with a preparation of whale
oil soap and water, say in proportion of q
pound of the soap to four or five gallons of
water. II can be applied to large trees with
a hickory broom or stiff whitewash brush,
and to small trees, especially dwarfs, with
the hand scrub-brush. Sickly trees. which
can at this season be easily detected by be-
ing covered with species of fungi, or, per-
haps more properly, peculiar insectivorous
deposit-should be scrubbed so as to COM
pletely remove this. The mixture will of
itself benefit the trees, while the removal
from the stem OF all extraneous and injllri-
GUS substances will give to it new health
and yigor the ensuing seaeon--in some in-
stances to a surprising extent. When whale
oil soap is not obtainable, lye may be used,

ENGLAND'S CONTROL" or THE WHEAT
NARKET

MA6A6I.
Great Britain takes but little over quar-
ter of all our exported flour and pays .
smaller price for it than any other country.
How the price paid for one-fourth can In
any way control the price paid for three
fourths is quite beyond our ingenuity to
discover. Besides, what becomes of the
theory when grain and -four are cheaper In
Liverpool than in New York city, as has
been the case.
1t is an established fact that wheat has
been worth more in Minneapolis during the
past five years than it has in Chicago or
Milwaukee, when cost Of transportation is
added. Now, if the home demand for wheat
in Minnesota is sufficient to keep the price
above the ruling quotations of the two met
ropoltan cities Of the northwest, it would
seem to follow, rs a natural conclusion, that
the home demand of different states would
exercise tar greater influence on general
prices than the market quotations of ma
ton across the water. This seems all the
more reasonable when we remember that
the deficiency OF the wheat supply in all OF
the states combined requires much larger
amount of wheat to satisfy the demand than
is exported to Great Britain. A compari-
son of market quotations, both at home and
abroad, will not reveal anything which
shows that prices paid here are at all regu-
lated by the British demand for wheat.
We are led to the conclusion that while
strong foreign demand for our breadstuffs
naturally raises the price, there being de-
mand in that case for all the farmer can
raise, under ordinary circumstances prices
here are not governed by London or Liver
pool prices. The fallacy that the exact con-
trary is the case is certainly very deeply
rooted; but study and comparison of facts
and figures will dissipate the beliet.-Amer-
iea,s Miller.

KEEP THE CHICKENS WARM.

Fowls suffer more from sudden changes
Of the weather than they do from excessive
heat or cold. At this time Of the year colds,
Group, catarrf and the numberless ills
caused by the chilling air and stormy
weather are to be carefully guarded against.
In this climate a mild sunset is often fol-
lowed by high, cold winds. See to it that
the chickens are protected ut night from
these sudden changes, 1t is Indispensable
that for the next few months the fowls be
provided with warm, dry quarters, as they
must spend many whole days in doors.
Keep good sized box of sand and cold
ashes, well sprinkled with sulphur, for their
accommodation inside .--Inaiana Farmer.

The first occupation of man, agriculture,
will always be the noblest calling that men
can pursue. While formerly the foolish
world, outside the farm life, have assumed
to think agriculture beneath it, the times

and whose influence is the greatest.

CURING THE GAPEs.

We have the following correspondence
upon this subject from the Country Gentle
man
One of your correspondents, on page 775,
undertakes 70 tell what he knows about
gapes in chickens, and on the only point in
which he Is very decided, must beg leave
to differ with him. He is clearly Of the
opinion that gapes cannot be cured. There
Is AL old truism that says-..remove tile
cause and the effect will cease" or remove

of an inch. This makes kind Of corkscrew
for gathering the worms. Let one person
hold the chickens legs, and pull forward
its tongue, while another inserts the straw
into the windpipe, and gives iG a few twists;
withdraw your straw, and from one to q
half dozen worms will be hanging to 1t.
The time and trouble will not exceed that
of washing baby's face, to say nothing of
giving 1t a dose of medicine. ! do not
know what produces this worm. Cold, wet
weather is very propitious to gapes.
notice In recent issue, an article upon
gapes in chickens. will give my plan for
curing this disease: Take box that will
hold four bushels of any substance; place
the chickens in the box; place covering
over the top Of the box, made Of some thin
cotton texture, drawing it over tightly like
a drum head then take half q pint Of slack
ed lime, pour it on top OF the cloth, tapping
it lightly for one minute, causing thick
dust to fall among the chickens. This
causes the chickens to snecze rs it enters
the nostrils and mouth, and produces the
election OF the mucus and worms from the
throat. and relieves the chickens. Two APP
plications will be sufficient. Try It; 1t is
simple and safe. Be sure to bush the dust
of the fowls on being taken out ofthe box,
that the lime may not affect the body.

EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR

Anh cApcllellCc VI Lllc paSt tell years
should teach the farmers of this territory a
valuable lesson, and enable them to steer
clear in the future of the breakers upon
which they came SO near wrecking their for
tunes in the years that are past.
Our farmers, as is always the case in new
mining countries, contracted very extrava-
giant habits. They were profligate in their
expenditures, and entered rs wildly into
speculation as it flush times you'd last
always; and the consequence was that when
times narrowed down and the price of farm
products was reduced two-thirds many
were heavily encountered by debt, and it
has been with great difficulty that they have
managed to meet their liabilities. The
change in the times came upon them so sud-
denly that they were almost completely par
alyzed, the future being enveloped in dark
ness. BY rigid economy they have man.
aged to maintain themselves, and the dawL
of an era of better prices has placed them
again on a better footing and square with
the world. But these years of prosperity
are inclined to beget carelessness, and ii a
tall in the prices OF produce was to occur
again to-day it would catch many ill prepar-
ed to stem the current of affairs.
Now we will say to one and all, that these
days OF prosperity will not last always, and
the judicious farmer will so arrange his bus
iness as to be able to cope with whatever
difficulties may arise. Now, we do not an
ticipate any sudden decline in the price of
farm products, but we do expect to see them
gradually press downward. Another year
will probably flood the country with peo-
pie; farms will spring up where we little
think of now; production will be greatly
increased, and times become gradually hard
er and states-like, until the railroad, the
great equalizer, reaches us, when they will
come down almost on par with the states.
In view of this inevitable result of the
advance of years, we think it advisable to
begin to prepare lest we be taken unawares.
The initial step, and the one which will
prove only the more beneficial should times
improve rather than retrograde, is to settle
up and begin OH cash basis. The old the
ory that farming can only be carried on on
the credit system has exploded. The most
thrifty and progressive farmers of the age
pay as they go. He that does this is never
cramped. 1t may require some extra exer-
tisn to break off from the old habit of buy
ing on credit, but once out of the old ruts,
the way Is clear. Settle up your old ac-
counts with the beginning of the year and
contract no new ones. If you have not
money to pay cash for the necessaries of life

unfortunate as to have nothing to sell. Farm
products are bringing good prices, especial
~ butter and eggs, which can be produced
In the winter. In fact, there is but little ex-
cuse for a thrifty, industrious farmer buying
on credit It is the worst system that ever
beset any country. Take the money with
You when you go to buy. 1t goes much
farther in accomplishing your purpose, and
