Pear Culture.
From the Washington Post.

FROM the washington Post
A large number of ladies' and cen.

heat, assembled at German Hall, one
night recently, at the regular meet.
ing OF the Horticultural society. to
listen to an address on "Pear Cul-
ture," by John Saul. He gave a list
OF the dwarf and one of standard
pear trees. He objected to pruning
the trees after they were three wears
old, and said they would grow in
any soil except pure sand. They were
more reliable than any other fruit in
this climate. Mr. Saul said that the
Potomac basin is specially fruit
growing region, and the safest sur
est, and upon the whole, most profit.
able fruit grown in it is the pear.
After the conclusion of the address a
vote OF thanks was passed Mr.. Saul
for delivering it, aud it was com
mented on by number of gentle
men. A committee, composed of
Messrs. Clark, Saul, Chase and Ba-
Aer, was chosen to wait on Mr..
liayes and request the retention in
ONCE OF Professor Taylor, the micro.
scoplst OF the Agricultural Depart
ment. A committee of three, Messrs
CLARK, Chase and Fowler, was appoint.
ed to consult with the managers of
the National Fair association as to the
horticultural character of their exhi-
bltlon. Professor Taylor was elected
to deliver the next address. His
subject will be "The Orange rust of
Florida, and the new furgoId disease
now attacking the grapes Of Florida"
MT Saul contributed large and
splendid assortment of flowers. and
after their distribution to the mem.
bers, the meeting adjourned.

How a Farm was Earned.

A young mar, says the Cincinnati
Times, was very anxious to secure
some property which was for sale On
very advantageous terms. He wen+
to confer with a friend who was
banker, and to inquire whether t.
would be prudent to borrow the re
quisite sum and pay it in regular in
stallments, thinking that he should
be able to manage all but the first
installment. He was advised to bor-
row from the bank sum large
enough to cover the first payment,
lay it strictly aside, and then 90
ahead. "But said his friend, ''you
must spend literally nothing. You
must live eff your place. You must
make a'box and drop in all the money
you receive" The young man and
his wife went bravely to work to fol-
low his advice. If it was necessary
to dine on head of boiled cabbage
and salt, they did so and never grum.
bled. Every payment was promptly
met. The egg money, and the but
ter money, and the corn and wheat
mouey-all went into the payment
box, and at the specified time the
place was theirs. There was an in
visible wealth about such hard.earned
possessions that common observers
know nothing Of On the day of the
last payment the young man pre-
sented himself before his. friend with
smiling face and with the money
in his hand. There were no rings to
be seen, but his clothing was well
covered with darns from head to
foot. "You see l nave followed your
advice" he said, casting glance
over himself, and my wife looks
worse than l do. But [ have earned
the farm, and now l know how to
earn another"

ARTIFICIAL FERTILIZERS.

This muriate of potash is found to
be so per cent. pure, which affords us
the following results, and will give
the analysis of the other salts in their
order.
100 pounds muriate 80 per cent, gives so
pounds potash,
100 pounds sulphate so per cent. gives 90
pounds potash,
100 pounds kainit gives IL pounds potash.
In stating the results Of analysis,
round numbers are given without
troubling you with determinations
chemically precise. The kainit is

itnot worth your attention as source

which guarantee can be relied upon

have thus in the oriefest manner
possible, brought to your notice the
three great essentials ot'plant food, it
now remains to consider the special
adaptedness OF each to crops, and the
methods Of combination. AS has
been stated, phosphoric acid is d con-
stituent OF all plants, a kind OF general
food, and, therefore it must enter into
all forms OF combinations. which we
may devise for our crops. We find,
however, that the phosphates have
special or marked influence upon
some crops, an influence which is
suggestive and important. 1t is GER
tain that upon roots OF the various
kinds, it has special influence, also
upon the cereals, corn, wheat barley,
etc. Nitrogen, or the heterogeneous
compounds, are indispensable in any
mixture designed for the grain crops.
The noble grains, like wheat and corn,
cannot flourish without a full supply
of nitrogen. 1t is necessary, as these
grains are designed to supply nourlsh-
ment to both muscles and nerves,
and, without nitrogen, the functions
cannot so on normally. Potash is

root crops generally. Glover needs

As the young plants appear should
any disturbing agency be present,
apply SCOT sown broadcast amongst
them. If not, the custom to use the
drawers or young onions, those in
tended to make bulbs are trans
planted six to nine inches apart when
about six inches high, bearing i'll
mind the true roots, which are CON-
posed of fibrous threads, are all that
is necessary to maintain growth, the
superstrllcture, or bulb, being in
tended to be above ground and on
the relative position of these every
thing depends on having large onions.
l would recommend the following
kinds as desirable, and they are to be
obtained from most seed stores
Trebons-This extraordinary onion
is matchless for it's quality, and great
size and symmetry make it conspic'
uous above all others.
Brown Globe, PeaE Shape, and
es-Keepipg- These differ from
each other mainly in selections, and
the care taken by the grower in
maintaining their shape, and are all
excellent keepers.
Tripoli-And its varieties of which
the Giant Raced is the best
While Tripoli or Mary Gold are
the best representatives of the White
or silver skin class, they should be
used while in growth or immediately
when harvested; on account of their
color they are best for salads. The
Queen of this class is remarkably
small growing variety.
1t is surprising no one thinks OF
growing onions to supply seed. All
of these | have named have value
OF from 50 to S. per pound, which
might as well pertain to the country.

Experiments with Orange Wine,

GAPCAAAAOhOc WAUAA OIiUSt w lIlts
The constantly extending ravages of
the phylloxera have induced the in
habitants OF certain wine-growing
countries to consider from what fruit
might be obtained a product which,
by appearance, taste and bouquet,
would most resemble the juice of the
grape. Experiments have been made,
and the fact has been established that
the liquid extracted from the orange
would constitute resource on which
to fall back. The first trial made
showed that the oranges, when they
had attained their full development.
are unfit for the purpose proposed,
and they must be selected, not when
they have become quite matured and
superabound in the sugary principle,
but before they are wholly ripe, and
still possess an appreciate amount Of
citrlc and mallic acids. At present
tour different sorts of wine have been
obtained from that fruit. One called
Imperial and dry wine is procured
in January with the fruit of the sea-
son; another, the Mandarin, is fur
nished by the orange grown in April.
Those three sorts have color pleas
ing to the eye, are perfectly trans
lucid, have an agreeable flavor with
tinge OF acidity, and an alcoholic
richness of about Is per cent. AS to
the fourth, sparkling wine prepared by
special process, it possesses little
more than II per cent. of alcohol.
However, the experiments made
hitherto are still too insignificant,
and the methods of fabrication too
rudimentary for the article to be
placed upon the market. Besides,
another very important question
arises, viz: 1t every success is oh
tanned in the production, can suffi-
Gent quantity of the fruit be procured
to replace the grape, and if so, what
will be the relative cost OF wine from
the vine OF the orange? Doubtless,
attention once turned in that direc-
ton, we shall be provided with some
sort of liquor, probably OF excellent

Toad Poisoning

The following singular account of
the action of toad poisoning on the
human body, is reported in the last
number of the London Chemist
A child of six years old followed a
large toad on hot summers day,
throwing stones at 1t. Suddenly he
felt that the animal had spurted some
moisture into his eye. There suddenly
set in a slight pain and spasmodic
twitching of the slightly-iniected eye,
but two hours after, coma, jumping
sight, desire to bite, dread of food
and drink, constipation, abundant
urine, great agitation manifested
themselves, followed on the sixth day
by sickness, apathy, and kind OF
stupor, but with regular pulse.
Some days later, having been COM
paratively quiet, the boy left his bed /;
his eyes are injected, the skin dry,
the pulse free from fever. He bowls
and behaves himself like a mailman,
sinks into imbecility and speechless.
ness, from which condition he never
rallies.

Cure for Chicken Cholera.
from the Prairie Farmer

From the Prairie Farmer
Fat bacon chopped fine and sprin.
Killed. plentifully with black pepper, is
convenient and reliable remedy for
cholera in chickens. Last summer a
number of hens were cured by it's
use. When found where they had
dropped from the roost they were SO
for gone that they could not get up,
and We're only able to raise their
heads occasionally. They were given
a comfortable shelter by themselves
a tablespoonful of the mixture was
forced down the throat of each bird,
morning and evening. No attention
was paid them. At the end of the
third day they can help themselves
but no food is required. Smaller
doses may be given in cases less Sc.
we're. l have not seen it tried on
young chickens, but believe that
given IN small doses, say a pill as
large as an ordinary pea, morning
and evening, would prove efficacious
For very young chickens, 1 would
recommend still smaller doses.
