Snake statistics are always delightful.
Between 10000 and 200. 900 people, be-
sloes many domestic animals, have been
destroyed by snake bites in India. From
1850 to 1879 ll.4l0 persons died from
snake bites in over not more than one.
half the area Of British India. In 1850
from this cause the general statistics
showed that the mortality was I9,06O.
In 1881 1t was 1850. with 2,OSs cattle.
In 1880 the Indian government paid
for the killing of 212.776 snakes, and in
1881 for 284, 96S snakes. SO with 49, 1s2
more snakes killed. the mortality had di'
minished by some $50 lives. The total

Fertilizing Fruit Trees.

WIN hufh clf.ts
Many orchardists In California are
awakening to the necessity Of main.
tanning the fertility of their orchards
by the application of of diff.
ferent kinds, and 1t will be timely to
introduce some facts concerning the
method of application. There is a
wrong way and a right way. and for
~tunately the proper method can be
shown by q series of systematic expe.
riments. A writer in the Country
Gentleman gives the following. A
rule adopted by old writer's gave the
length of the roots as equal to the
length of the branches above. 1t Is
safe to say that this rule does not iu-
dictate generally more than q tenth of
the ground which the entire roots
really occupy. Many years ago I
made an experiment on a row of peach
trees planted in grass and within q
few feet of each other. They had
been set three or four years, and
were eight or nine feet high. Within
a few feet of the end of the row the
ground was very rich with a heap of
manure Its stimulating effect on the
nearest tree was such that the shoots
made in one season we're two feet and
a half long. The tree which stood
seven feet from the MANFRED ground
made shoots fifteen inches long, and at
eleven feet distance the shoots grew
seven or eight inches. At ff :een feet
no p~erceptible effect of the manure
was visible, the growth not exceeding
three inches. The experiment showed
that a decided benefit was gained to
the tree at eleven feet distance
through the roots on the one side, and
that the roots formed a radiating circle
at least twenty-five feet in diameter.
The absurdity of the practice of
applying a small heap of manure at
the base Of the trunk of the tree Is
obvious.

Butter is finished In the dairy, but
