and in6rnl. None are more exposed to this
danger than the ministers who preach with
two or more churches alternately. Some.

p@ Regarding borers in peach trees, says
the Country Gentleman, it is uaeful to heap
peck of dry Stacked lime about the peach
trees after the grubs had been picked out
and before the earth is drawn back to the

satisfy any inquiring mind. Having used
lime in this way in 1877, the writer found no
borers at all in his trees in 1878, and there
