Lucian Chamberlain, Shelby Centre, N.
Y, writes: " propose to show how FIRE
and lime may be used so as to remedy
blight on fruit trees and prevent wormy
apples. 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, plow four burrows in the centre be-
tween the rows of trees both ways, so as
to leave square plot of ground around
each tree. Then throw straw in piles OF
about 100 pounds to each tree spread 1T
thin under each tree to within three feet
of the trunk. Let the straw remain thus
spread about ten or twelve days, and all
manner of insects will hide under it. Some
evening, take one tree at time, set FIRE
to 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 de-
struetion of them will take place. Repeat
this two or three years, and the orchards
will be free from blight and the fruit sound
and good. have tried it."
As mari, containing over 20 per cent.
of carbonate of lime, applied to the roots,
has been known to cure OF prevent blight
in pear trees, perhaps lime applied in va
rious ways to trees thus affected may do
good. Whitewashing the bodies of the
trees, and in few days washing off the
lime, would send it to the roots. We have
heard of pear trees escaping blight by
having ashes from the kitchen thrown
around the roots. Perhaps the lime in
the ashes might have had much to do
with the remedy. Ashes sometimes con-
tain over so per cent. of lime.

A correspondent of the dnsericdR CuI-
tic0tOr gives q remarkable instance of the
benefits of mulching. He says upon dry
and rocky hillside in the town Of Shrews-
bury stood an orchard. The trees were
old, and had not given . good crop OF
apples for several years. The owner,
having large quantity of spoiled hay,
drew Il from the field and placed it taround
the trees to the depth Of twelve inches,
covering the whole ground occupied by
the trees, emitting every alternate row.
This was done in the month of July. The
next year every tree where the mulch was
applied was loaded with large and fair
apples while the trees had made great
growth of wood, and the leaves had
> beautiful green and spring-like appear
ance, while those without the mulch bore
no fruit at all.

1t may be repeated that the stakes for

substantial to rest on; and If the stakes
can have arms or knots to help sustain
the branches, il will be better than de-
pending on twine alone. The stakes must
be planted in the ground firmly before the
plants are set. These plants are easily
kept in position by light tying until the

The unprecedented severity of the past
winter in the Northwest is well shown by
. story which comes from Big Lake, Da-
kota, where, at the beginning of cold
weather, three neighboring families ar
ranged to move into one house and live
together until spring as means Of mu-
tual protection and comfort. Very soon
their supposed ample supply Of fuel was
consumed, and railroad ties and telegraph
posts followed suit. Next, the houses va
Gated by two Of the families were torn
down and burnt then followed the furni-
ture. Finally one Of the men started
with team Of Eve strong horses for the
nearest railway station for . load of coal,
but two days later was found frozen stiff
in his sleigh, his dog dead, lying upon
him, and the i've horses standing dead In
their tracks To many settlers the past
winter has been severe struggle for ex-
Istence.

The Farmers Club of Rie, Wis, has
been discussing the subject of salt as .
fertilizer, and here is brief report of
what was said on the occasion:
Mr.. Seth Allen opened the discussion
by giving his experince in the use of salt
upon his land, and stated that he had first
used it on his farm eight years ago, and
that it added largely to his yield of
wheat that year. That for year or two
thereafter he did not use the salt, on ac-
count of the cost but that he became
thoroughly satisfied that free use Of salt
was indispensable to the success Of his
farming operations, and that he has used
it every year since, resulting in increased
crops of grain improved in quality-his
wheat from salted land never grading
below No. In both quality and quantity
At first he had used at the rate of one
barrel of salt to three acres, and now uses
one barrel to two acres.
Other members, in giving their expert
ence and observation, fully corrobated all
that Mr.. Allen had said in behalf of salt
As fertilizer; and after fun considera-
tion of the subject, the conclusions arrived
at were as follows:
That salt has the property of Fastening
the maturity of all crops; that wheat on
salted land will ripen six to ten days
earlier than on unsalted land, all other
conditions being equal
That it increases the yield largely.
That it stifens the straw and prevents
rust and smut. That it checks, II il does
not entirely prevent, the r.vages of the
chinch bug; and that there is no danger
