made the discovery that by painting the
bark of apple-trees with para fine oil in au-
tumn and scrsping it clean OF all encum-
brances in spring, parasitic pests, both veg,

restored 10 peifect health and rendered
fruitful, without that liability 10 be killed
prematurely by Am.r ican blight which has
prevailed 60 extensively OF late. Possibly

long been an opinion current that apple
trees seldom attain q good old age as IN the
