DR.. F. M. Hexamer and p. T. Quinn,
horticulturists. / have heard so many
say that, if they could only have such
land as they have in New Jersey,
they could raise good crops, that 1
was induced to make the above quo
tations, that they might see that it is
the liberal-use of manures that makes
the land in New Jersey what it is,
and let our farmers in the piny woods
now fertilize as literally and under
standingly, as they do, and we can
put New Jersey in the shade. Give
more attention to the manufacturing
and raising of manures and concen.
trate them, with our labor, on less
land. and we shall find our tasks much
lighter, and our crops heavier.

l do not know that am telling

the scale insect yesterday with my
microscope, l found every scale full
Of eggs. The largest had fifty and
the smallest between twenty-five
and thirty. Evidently this is the
time to wash the trees. The eggs
are oblong, laid in rows lengthwise
the scale and set at angle of about
forty.ive degrees. The insect is OBJ

same breadth at head as at rear. It
has six legs, three on each side, with
two antenn@, and two hairs similar
in shape to the antenn@ projecting
from the rear. At the head and rear
there is tinge of russell for about
sixth ofthe length OF the body, the in
termediate space being almost color
less and transparent. This description
ofcourse, applies only to the specimen
examined yesterday, which afforded
me the best examination yet had.
The color may be different at differ
ent seasons Some OF the insects l
have examined have been much
smaller in shape more like the spider
and very active, so restless that it
was hardly possible to get view of
them on the scale. l think possibly
those were the young. They could
not have produced the eggs for they
were hardly larger than the eggs l

smaller insects. The movement of
the insect examined yesterday was
sluggish. After examining it on the
scale, I put it into glycerine in order
to make it more transparent, which
killed it instantly. 1t is possible, of
course, that the two insects mentioned
may be entirely different species,
though both evidently make the scale
their home. How many times dur
ing the year the insects lay I am I'M
able to say. but intend to find out if
there is any periodicity observed.

Cure for Burns.
From the Louisville Medical News.

From the Louisville Medical News.
A venerable patient, retired
toundryman, tells us that during his
apprenticehood to a ship builder of
Philadelphia, he became acquainted
with a never.failing remedy for burns
and scalds, and that in his subsequent
foundry life he saw innumerable such
injuries relieved of pain and healed
as if by magic, by powdered charcoal,
The softer it is the better, and that
from pine wood is the best. 1t is to
be thickly spread over the burned or
scalded surface as soon as possible,
and renewed as it becomes moist OF

ing and rapidly curative dressing for
abrasions. and cuts. The hurts heal
with marvellous expedition, and sup
peration, erysipelas, ETC., are always
prevented he says. The balsam
should be spread thickly over the
wound. No doubt the disciples of
antiseptic surgery would attribute
the good results of this dressing to
the .disinfectant power .of the balsam
but the secret of its efficacy lies no
doubt, in its exclusion of the atmos-
phere from the wound. Nature en-
deavors to keep out the air from the
wounds by means of film of lymph
or pus, or scab, and meddlesome
men thwart nature by frequently
cleansing" the hurt, or, worst still,
with soap and water The balm pro.

nature, unobserved, does her healing
work rapidly and well.

I'VE obtained some Australian
wheat from Mr.. Burpee ourself, last
fall, and planted them in our garden.
They grew remarkably we'll without
any fertilizer whatever. We will send
the sample sent us by Mr.. Smith to
one OF the fairs. 1t is great thing
to know that there is wheat that
can he proftably grown on our high
pine lands.
We will publish soon an article on
figs. They do well on low lands, such
as described by Mr.. Smith. We see
nothing to prevent figs being made
profitable crop in this State, if evap.
orators are used for drying them.
Lemons will grow on low lands,
where it is not safe for the orange,
but they are more susceptible to cold
