FEEDING PEAR TREEs.-In an adj
dress at a genealogical meeting at
r ,chester. Mr.. Barry said that he had
in the corner of his grounds a little
group OF half dozen pear trees stand
Jog ia grass they had been neglected
until they were nearly starved 40 death.
The annual growth was nothing, the
leaves small and no fruit. In this con
dition they were treated with a top
dressing Of barn-yard manure, and the
following season they made stout
shoots twelve to eighteen inches long.
with large, dark green foliage, and some
fine fruit. He added that trees stand
ing in grass would not pay. They
must be kept vigorous and healthy by
tillage, fertilizers and judicious prun
ing. These involve labor and expense,
but he remarked we cannot grow fruit
without them Ia his pear garden he
slackened both cultivation and manure
to lessen the chances of blight, but the
result was that in two years and half
his crop was culls.

AGRICULTURAL.
Forwarding Vegetables.

Not a few garden crops are ruined by
the early fall frosts. To prevent this,
the American Agriculturist makes the
following suggestion:
That the sun warns the earth dur
ing the day Is a well-understood fact /;
that this heat, or portion Of it, is lost
during the night, Is equally well-known.
Now, if d portion Of the earth in which
plants are growing be warmed during
the day, and We prevent it from losing
this heat during the night, it is evident
that such plants viii have a great adj
vantage over those without such protec-
ftion. All our melons, cucumbers,
squashes, and other plants Of that faml-
", come from tropical or warm cOun
tries, and in order to yield the best re-
turns in our Northern gardens, need
every advantage we can give them.
Every one may not find ii convenient 10
start his cucumber, melon, and similar
seeds, on pieces Of sod, or in pots, in a
hot-bed or frame, that he may greatly
hasten or forward the same in the open
ground All the expense or trouble re-
quired Is to make lot Of frames, which
can be done by knocking out the bot
tom Of soap or other boxes, and by tack
ing IA piece Of muslin or cotton cloth
across the top. Sow the seed In the
usual way, and every afternoon, when
the day begins to be cold--soon after
three o'clock, usual TURN these frames
over the hills This will hasten the
termination Of the seeds, and when the
plants come up, continue to protect
them in this manner If a cold, windy
day occurs, it will be better to leave
these covers on than to expose the plants
to the weather The use Of the covers
or frames may be continued until the
plants get too large for them. Not only
will plants thus treated be much ahead
of those without such protection, but
they will also be largely preserved from
the attacks of the striped bug

4 correspondent of the ". E. Farmer
gives his experience in dealing with
blight upon fruit trees and wormy fruit
First whitewash the trees with a
strong wash made of quicklime, just as
the buds begin to start in the spring.
The wash can be applied with an old
broom. Next, during the last days OF
May, plough four burrows in the centre
between the rows of trees both ways,
so as to leave a square plot of ground
around each tree. Then throw straw
in piles OF about one hundred pounds
to each tree spread it thin under esch
tree to within three feet of trunk. Let
the straw remain thus spread about ten
or twelve DAYS and all manner OF in
sects will hide under it. Some evening
take one tree at time, set fire 70 the
straw, and be careful not to have it so
thick as to burn or scald the limbs OF
the trees. All insects that can be will
be attracted by the FIRE, and . general
destruction of them win take place,
Repeat this two or three years, and the
orchards will be free from blight and
the fruit sound and good.

WHAT EFFECT THE LIQroR TRAFFIC Has on
THE CoLoREp RACE.-We propose to address a
few words especially to the colorcd voters of
this town. With many among them we have
little or no hope that our suggestions will be
needed, for it is an open boast, and we fear tou
true, in many cases at least, that "a drink of
liquor will buy niggcrs vote" But We think
ne have other and Il gool many colorcl men
among us whose vote cannot be thus bought, and
who have intelligence enough and principle
enough To cast them suffrage in the interest of
peace and order. Ii is to that class we would
address our remarks, and we will say to them
that i'll our judgment their suffers far III orc
from the effects of liquor and liquor-,lrnking
than do the whites, much rs it Injuries the lat

money TO sparc--and every cent comes to them
hy hard lcks. that comes honcstly--for such
useless and ruinous luxury as liquor and, Sec
ond, having less money to spend thus they arc

OF liquor, which, in some cases. Is absolutely
poisonous, and if they drink much of il, being
deadly poison, will certainly kill them

Several banks in that State ust howlcd for

used in payment of labor. Much Of it is
rapidly finding its way back into the towns

banks and dcposiiing it. Thus it flows
right back to the distributing centre. The
banks cannot conveniently keep large guam

will very likely be the exchange Of the sill

former to the Government vaults.
