PROSTITUTES AND CHILBLAINS.

Probably no other forms of accident or injury
come upon us so unexpectedly as those due to
excessive cold AS general thing we are not
aware that part is being frozen until the
mischief is already done. This is due to the fact
that one of the effects of severe cold is to destroy
the senstiveness of the parts exposed. Surgeons
make use of this fact in small operations and
cool the parts by artificial cold The ears. the
nose sometimes the cheeks, and the hands and
feet are the parts most liable to be frozen. One
of the first effects of freezing is to stop the
circulation of the blood, and any part in which
the circulation is checked by other means is all
the more likely to be frozen. The old-fashioned
skates, held on by numerous tight straps across
the feet, are dangerous on this account, as to
keep them in place the straps are drawn so
tightly as to impede the circulation in the feet,
and frOst-bitten feet are often the consequence.
Though the operation of freezing is painless,
sudden thawing is attended with inflammation
and great pain. The thawing should be very
slow, in order that the circulation in the parts
may be restored gradually. For this reason it is
advised to rub the frozen parts with snow Or, in
the absence of that, with water made as cold as
possible with ice. It is said that in Russia,
when one observes that anothers face or nose is
being frozen, it is an act of common politeness to
catch up handful of snow and apply it to the
face of the unfortunate, even if he is stranger
In cases of severe freezing, besides gradual
thawing ty the use of snow or ice, a physician
should be called, as it may be that proper pre-
cautions are needed to prevent modification of
the parts. 1t is not necessary for the feet to be
actually frozen to produce chilblains. The term
frost bitten is usually applied to such cases.
Children often suffer greatly from getting their
feet very cold and then going to the fire to warm
them The circulation is disturbed and the parts
remain exceedingly sensitive to future changes
of cold and heat. Chilblans vary from a slight
inflammation to severe cases in which the skin
breaks and even ulcers are formed. OF course,
such cases require professional treatment. To
allav the intense itching and pain of ordinary
chilblains, a great number of applications have
been used. An ounce of sulphate of zinc white
vitriol in pint of water, an ounce of sal
ammoniac dissolved in half pint each of vinegar
and alcohol are among the washes often used
1t is stated on good authority, though we have
not had occasion to try it, that the application of
ordinary kerosene oil is very efficacious in alay
ing the itching and pain-American Agriculturist.

and time in thinning the fruit. We all know
what an unsightly object an old peach-tree be-
comes when left to itself. A few long, lean, skel-
eton branches with nearly all the foliage and
fruit at the extreme ends will correctly describe
them. All this can be remedied, and handsome,

weather in the late fall or winter in which to
perform the work. Early spring is just as good
a time, only our duties are more pressing then,
and if put off until that time is very apt to be
neglected Occasionally have found 1t OF great
advantage to cut back some OF the longest
branches to where they are an inch TO an inch
and one-half in diameter, but usually 1t is only
necessary to shorten the new growth from one
half to two-thirds shortening the longer
erowths the most. My trees so treated exhibit
all the beauty and vigor of form and growth at
twelve years of age usually seen IN trees OF tour
and five years. When the season for thinning
the fruit arrives, find it takes only about one
third the time to do it. This of itself would pay
if there were no other benefits, as at that time
we are driven with all kinds of work, and are
apt to neglect Or at best, slight this very neces
sary labor. For l hold that no man who raises
peaches for market can afford to let his trees
mature a great mass of small, inferior fruit,
which will bring next to nothing when, by
iudicious thinning, he can get the highest mar

CULTIvATING MEADows.-It is customary to
cultivate corn, tobacco cotton potatoes, &c, but
the stirring of the soil over the roots OF wheat,
barley, oats, rye or any of the fodder grasses is
seldom thought of, and still less frequently prac
ticed. The first mentioned group of plants are
grown in rows so as to admit of such culture of
the soil as may be considered necessary but
mostly the cereals are sown broadcast over the
surface, although the drilling system-at least,
with the wheat CROPS the prevailing method
which is adopted by the best farmers, and it is
very generally the opinion of those who have
experimental in this line, that by seeding thin
and then cultivating between the rows, a much
stronger and healthier growth would result, and
in due time a correspondingly improved crop.
Cultivation can also be extended, and with muck
advantage, to old root-bound meadows. This is
effected by running a subsoil plough through
the tough sod any time during winter or early
spring, which will loosen the under strata of SOIL
with but little of disturbance of the upper sur
face, and with marked increase in the growth of
the grasses. heavy roller should be passed
over the surface after the blowing is completed,
to re lder it smooth and compact.
MANAGEMENT OF PEACH TREES.-On this
subject successful fruit grower writes as fol-
lows:
Il commenced the shortening-in system OF
pruning the peach when the trees were SIX years
old, and by trying few trees the first season
The result was so very satisfactory-the trees so
pruned yielding nearly as much in quantity and
the fruit of double and sometimes treble the size
that went over nearly the whole orchard the
following season. A few trees have been LETT
without pruning until the present, for the sake
of experiment, although, after two years expert
ence, there was no doubt in my mind about its
beneficial effects. The benefits accrulng are

EXPERIMENT IN DEEP PLOwING.-In 1868
an experiment was made by the director of the
experimental farm of Eastern Russia in growing
the sugar beet on two plots of ground, each
containing six hectares, or about lag acres One
of the lots, designated A, was plowed to the
depth of nine inches; the other, designated B,
was plowed nine inches Deep then, in the same
furrow, five inches deeper, and then stirred,
without turning over, to a further depth of seven
inches, making in all a depth Of twenty-one
inches. In other respects the lots were treated
alike, both receiving the same manures. The
result was, that A produced eighty-two measures
of roots and B one hundred and ninety measures
The proportion Of saccharine matter in the pro-
duct of A was Ills per cent; in that of 1922
per cent. Consequently, the crop of contained
more than three times the amount of sugar that
was found in the product of A.
