were thought to be seriously injured and fruiting

most severe freeze of lifetime, blossoming
profusely and setting fruit. In view OF these
facts, ! would counsel to plant cultivate and

letting the tree 90 into state of rest from Sep
tember to April. BY teaching them this we
would not be subjecting them to danger by
frost, because they would not be in tender state
at the season Of cold. 1t is surprising how
quickly the trees have recovered from the freeze
OF 1880; many trees now, only sixteen months
after, are bearing fruit
We may hurry up the matter of fruiting some
what by budding the trees. When trees are
budded or grated, if allowed 10 set and bear
fruit as soon as they often will, it to some extent
dwarfs them; but, If the fruit is plucked off for
the first two or three years, a budded tree may
make as much growth as a Seeding, though l
would prefer 10 bud them, and get some fruit
about the third year from budding. Our budded
trees second year from bud, blossomed and set
fruit this year. 1t is not necessary to bud from
fruting tree it makes no difference Wemay
bud from any tree, the fruit of which suits our
eye and taste; but while we are about il, we
will do better to propagate from known and
named kinds, such as Magnum Bonum, the first
on the list; Navel, an early bearer and first
class orange; Harris Tardif. a late orange, and we
should not omit the Kid Glove or Tangerine
AS to the Thornless or Sweet Mediterranean
and the Satisima, which is said to stand more
cold than any other, it would be well to give
them trial. If fconvenient, the lay of the land
allowed, would run the rows east and west,
and plant close together, say from six to ten feet
apart in the row. 1t would much improve the
looks of our orange trees to prune out all dead

The following extracts are from the es-
says read by John E. Russell, at the Farm
ers' Institute, at Salem, Massachusetts
"The horse has the smallest stomach,
in proportion to his size, of any animal.
This space is completely filed by four
quarts of oats and the saliva that goes
into the stomach with it. Horses are
generally over-fed and not often enough.
For horse, with moderate work, six or
eight quarts of bruised oats and ten
pounds of fine hay day is sufficient
This should be fed in three meals, and is
better if fed in four. A horses digestion
is very rapid, and, therefore, he gets hun
cry sooner than man. When he is hun
cry he is ineffective, and wears out very
rapidly. Water fills the stomach, lowers
the temperature, and dilutes the gastric
juice therefore, horse should not drink
Immediately before eating. Neither should
he be watered Immediately after eating,
because he will drink too much, and force
some of the contents Of the ,stcs.S;sss scour-
the g.larsejaffftine aXbic icRugesd By too rapid
eating, which can be prevented by put
ting half dozen pebbles half the size of
the fist into the manger with the OATS
Give only moderate drink of water to
horse A large drink of cold water be-
fore being driven will have a very quiet
ing effect on nervous horse. A race
horse always runs on an empty stomach.
Digestion progresses moderately during
exercise, if the exercise is not so violent
as to exhaust the power of the horse. 1
consider bruised oats worth 20 per cent.
more than the whole. They are more
perfectly digested. prefer oats to any
other grain for horses. Cracked corn is
good under some circumstances, but l
would use meal or shorts. The disease
called big head is caused by feeding corn.
When horse comes in hot, would give
a moderate feed Immediately. If the
horse is too tired to eat, would take the
feed away. A heated horse is reason
against watering and for feeding, for the
system is just then in condition to begin
digestion. A horse will not founder if
fed Immediately when hot. I prefer dry
food, unless horse has some disease of
the throat or lungs. do not consider it
worth while to cut hay. always feed
hay from the floor, then the horses do not
get particles in their eyes.-Ne,o Eng

THE USE OF LAND PLAsrnn

THE USE OF LAND PLAHTHm.
In several sections of the country
farmers derive great benefit from the use
OF gypsum, or land plaster, Such is the
case in Central New York, Southern Mich
igan and Eastern Wisconsin. In several
States it would be difficult TO end q farmer
who has ever employed thiS fertilizer
even by way of experiment In order to
test its inertia It is certain that land
plaster is Of very great value TO certain
soils, and equally certain that it is of lit
tie or no value to others. Applied to
quite damp soils or to those abonnding in
lime, it appears to produce little influence
In increasing the growth of any kind of
vegetation. Its good results are. most
marked on soils that are quite dry and
deficient in lime. On these soils it adds
to the growth of almost all kinds Of crops.
Farmers who are accustomed to its use
sow it broad cast on land where grain is
sown and place it in hills of corn or DO
tatoes. 1t is often used as a top-dressing
for the latter crops. 1t is the custom to
place handful on the top of each hill,
just as the plants are coming up II Is
an excellent fertilizer for red clover, and
themost remarkable results have followed
its application to this plant. 1t should be
sown broadcast at the rate of about 100
pounds to the acre. The best time to
sow it is after the first leaves appear in
the early spring. A calm day should be
selected for the purpose, and it is desira-
BILE to scatter it when the leaves are wet
with dew or rain. The cost of the land
plaster is triAing, and but little labor is
required to apply it TO the land Farmers
who have not tested it would do well to
experiment with it the preseut season.
BY using some on portions of a field they
will be able to observe what advantages
are gained, and can ascertain whether it
pays them to continue to apply it.-Chi-

REMEDIES FOR THE COTTON
WORM

A special to the Cincinnati Commercial
from Washington, April 20, says: Among
the papers read before the National
Academy of Science, yesterday, was one
of Prof G. V. Riley, entomologist of the
Department of Agriculture, on some dis
coveries that enhance the value of the
cotton and:: d::orange crop. Prof Riley said
that in q paper read before the Academy
in 1879, it had been shown by the most
careful computation that the annual loss
from the cotton worm had averaged $l5,-
600, 900 from the close of the war to that
time, and consequently any effort to pro-
tect the plant from its ravages was well
worthy of consideration from a national
point of view, CAT that time," he said,
"the chief and only satisfactory remedy
against the depredations of the insect was
an application of some form of arsenic,
and particularly of Paris green, thrown
broadcast over them, by more or less i'm
perfect dusting or sprinkling contrivsnces.
Though many planter has saved his
crop from destruction by the crude meth
DDS in vogue for the Improvement not
only in possibly discovering some cheaper
and less poisonous insecticide, but in re-
ducing the cost of arsenical mixtures, and
particularly in rendering them more ef-
fective by improved methods of applica-
tion, have the pleasure of reporting that
since that time the experiments which I
have been conducting, whether for the
United States chronological Commission
or for the Department Of Agriculture, has
resulted in great advances both in the
materials employed and the methods of
their employment. Not to detain the
Academy with details, / submit the fol-
lowing bare statements of results

To the sugar planter there can be no
more important factor on his plantation
than the cow-pea. He depends largely
upon it to fertilize his lands, depleted by
heavy crops of sugar-cane, and to furnish
hay for his work animals. Every sugar
planter will admit that the pea-vine is at
once the best and cheapest fertilizer, and
that it makes the best hay. The poorest
sugar planter will not attempt to make .
crop without it, and yet not one planter
in ten will save his seed for planting an
other year.
This is due to the one-crop mania with
which the South is infatuateds Year after
year thousands of bushels of peas are per-
mitted to rot on the vines or are plowed
under, when they might be gathered for
less than so cents per bushel, and the
planter will send to New Orleans the
next spring and pay from - to es per
bushel for seed, produced in South Caro-
lima and Georgia.
We have Just met river planter who
has paid out more than el 900 for COW
peas We cannot understand such reck-
less, wasteful extravaganza. We have
seen planters who claimed that peas could
not be grown for seed in the river lands.
We know to the contrary, for we have
gathered over 20 bushels 70 the acre in
addition to fine crop of corn from the
same ground.
We are not writing this article with
the hope Of converting the planters of
sugar and cotton in the river lands-they
are welded to their idols, and will sink
or swim with cotton and sugar. Perhaps
they will learn economy when foreign
sugars are admitted free, and ten million
bales of cotton are made in the South,
but we think that our hill farmers might
learn lesson of wisdom from the impru-
dent brethren of the swamp, and supply
the annual demand for seed peas, which
are now brought from South Carolina and
Georgia
Let the hill farmers of Louisiana plant
peas in every acre Of corn and gather
them when ripe, and very simple calcu.

| peas will bring more money than any

A NEAT CAPTURE
VI House Brenkcrs-A Trio Of Thieves
Who were Surprised.

or House Drenkcrs-A Trio Of Thieves
Who were Surprised.
Shortly after noon yesterday Captain Ben
nett and Officers Fugate and Junkins made
an important capture OF three thieves and
lodged them in Jail about 1o hours after the
robbery was committed. The story OF the
robbery and capture is as follows: About
. o'clock yesterday morning the spring house
Of Il. Dennis, near Elm Grove, was broken
open and robbed OF its contents, consisting
mainly OF butter and canned fruit, The
thieves used 4 jimmy to open the door, which
instrument they afterwards threw away.
When Mr.. Dennis discovered TINT the sprinr
house had been rifled OF its contents, he at
once set out for this city and laid in his com.
plant before Chief Of Police Bennett. Mr..
Dennis said that the parties had wagon with
them, and that be had tracked them as far rs
the Stamm House, four miles out the pike
and that they were making for this city.
Captain Bennett Immediately suspected who
the parties were, and getting search war
rant went 10 brick stable in Alley II.
rented by George Troutman. One Of the
horses shoes were examined, and being of n
peculiar shape, Mr.. Dennis immediate
ly said that's the horse" Chief len.
nett and Officers Fugatc and Junkins
then began the search for the men. They
were discovered in the hay. Trou.man was
found engaged in putting away a can Of
tomatoes, and seemed to be enjoying bis meal
hugely. His companions, John Mooney and
William Florence, were fast asleep. Trout
man was badly scared when he was con-
fronted by the officers and made no resist
ance. All Of the stolen property was found
on the premises, besides bag OF boots stolen
from Conrad's shoe store, Twentieth street,
on last Friday week, which indicated that
the party had been engaged in other rob.
berries that have occurred recently.
The men were taken before Justice Philips,
and were committed TO Jail to await IN e1.
animation to-day. The arrest was a very
neat piece Of work, aud the thieves were
evidently very much surprised that they
were so soon found out. 49,. .Is.r,.
