Salt for Trees and Vegetables.

Young fruit trees can be made to grow
and do well in places where old trees have
died, by sowing pint of salt on the earth
where they are to stand. After trees are
set continue to sow pint OF salt around
each tree every year. l set. twenty-five
trees in sandy soil for each one of seven
years, and only succeeded in getting one to
live, and that only produced twigs few
inches long in nine years. Last spring
sowed pint of salt around it, and limbs
grew from to three and half feet long. In
the spring of 1877 Iset out twenty-five trees,
putting pint of salt in the dirt used for
filling, and then sowed a pint more on the
surface after each tree was set. All grew
as if they had never been taken from the
nursery. Last spring 1 set thirty more,
treating them in the same way, and they
have grown very finely. The salt keeps
away insects that injure the roots, and it
renders the soil more capable of sustaining
plant growth. In 1877 my wife had gar
den forty feet square. 1t was necessary to
water it nearly every day, and still the plants
and flowers were very inferior in all respects.
In 1877 | put half barrel of brine and half
bushel of salt on the ground, and then
turned it under. The consequence was that
all the plants were of extraordinary large
size and the flowers of great beauty. 1t was
not necessary to water the garden, which
was greatly admired by all who saw it.
The flowers were so large that they appeared
to be of different varieties from those grown
OH land that was not sailed. had some
potatoes growing from seed that wilted
down as soon as the weather became very
hot applied salt to the surface of the soil
until it was white. The vines took vigor-
GUS start, and grew to the length of three
feet, blossomed, and produced tubers from
the size of hens eggs to that Of goose eggs.
My soil is chiefly sand, but believe that
salt is highly beneficial to clay or to common
prairie land.-Corr. Chicago Times.

Ashes for Apple Trees.

When apple or pear trees become diseased
from being planted in unfavorable or i'll
prepared soil, or from lack of food they are
very certain to be attacked by insects, which,
if they were in a healthy condition, would
probably be unknown. Certain washes,
such as I've Ia solution of potash). have been
applied with success in destroying these in
sects and restoring the tree to health. But
for our own practice we have for the last
two years applied much simpler remedy
with more success, as it causes the old bark,
the chosen hiding place of insects, to cleave
off, leaving in its place a smooth, healthy
surface This is simply, after a rain and
while the bark is yet wet, to throw on dry,
wood ashes until the capacity of retention
is full. If rain soon follows, the strength of
the ashes is carried into every Granny of the
bark, and the effect is working cleanliness
on the tree. If there is no rain, the ashes
will remain and work their good effects and
be ready for action when the rain comes.
The operation of sewing Oh the ashes is cas-
lily repeated until the insects are DESTROYED,
and new, healthy bark covers the tree. To
remedy existing evils sow ON the ashes be-
tween now and leafng-out, after the first
rain, if possible; for they can be scattered
over the bark now with less waste than
when intercepted by leaves, and placed more
equally where they are needed. As the pre-
ventive of future depredatiOns SOW them on
in summer, when the insects deposit their
eggs, which will never hatch under the in
fluence of the ashes. Two objects are gained
by this operation; the ashes or I've they pro-
duce furnishes food for the trees as well as
destroying its enemies, and imparts cleanli-
ness to the tree.-Germantown Telegraph.

Ducklings.


Ducklings are as liable to die of chills and
cramps as young turkeys, and for that rea-
son must be kept from exposure to cold
rains and heavy dews, and away from the
streams and ponds until they are a month
or six weeks old. When the eggs are Matched
by duck she will strike ''bee-line' for
the water with web-footed children almost
as soon as they are out of the shell, and as
young ducks are not overburdened with
sense they are apt to stay in the water until
they are "wet through" then about half
of them will die with chlls, and the mother
duck will wander around in the dewy grass
until most of the remaining half die from
exposure. If by any chance any survive this
course of treatment, you will find that con-
slant exposure has stunted their growth,
and that they will never make as large birds
as they would have if they had been proper
ly cared for. Hen mothers do not show
such marked anxiety to get rid of their
charges. and for that reason are preferred.
AS soon as the ducklings are we'll out of the
shell keep them in coop for about week.
Water that has had the chill taken off may
be supplied in shallow pans, and the duck
lings will dabble around in it and enjoy it..
Have your duck coops as far as possible
from the stream or pond, and they must be
move at least three times week to fresh
ground. After the ducklings are week old
if they have hen mother the pen may be
opened on'p pleasant days after the dew is off
the grass, and the mother and her brood al
lowed liberty to wander around in search of
food. By the time they are six weeks old
their under feathers will be well out, and
they may be allowed unlimited range. Duck
lings are great eaters, and will eat almost
anything in the shape of food. Give cooked
food, with plenty of green food, until they
are old enough to have free range. Almost
any kind Of food that you would give chicks
and young turkeys is good for ducklings
Until they take to the pond or stream, I'M
less insect forage is plenty, give a little
cooked meat. Feed them often, but never
give them all they can possibly swallow
sometimes ducklings will eat until they xii
themselves. After they take to the water
they will pick up large amount of the food
that suits them best, and for this reason
ducks are most economically raised in the
neighborhood of ponds, streams, wei
marshes or near the sea.-Prairie Farmer.

Thinning Fruit.

Whenever we tell friend he should thin
his fruit, he talks about the curculio, the
coddling-moth, the birds and the boys, and
"guesses there will be thinning enough be-
fore the season gets through" This is true
In its way. Wherever these troubles exist
to any great extent, it is not much use to
grow fruit at all. But there are some who
do not leave their gardening to insects and
vermin-some who dispute the right of these
pests to interfere at all, and wage war, sue
cessful war, against them; but even these do
not half appreciate the value of thinning
their fruit.
The evil of overbearing is particularly ap-
parent in dwarf pears and grapes. AS a
general thing there is rarely grape vine but
would be benefited by having half its bunch
es cut away, and some IF the free-bearing
dwarf pears might have one-third to one
half. The grapes may be cut away as soon
as they can be seen; but the pear should be
left until somewhat grown, as they often fall
after they are pretty well advanced. 1t not
only helps the size of the fruit left, but is a
gain to the future health of the freezer
