The Nettle.

But few people who in wandering
through the fields, notice the nettle and
associate it with anything beneficial to
mankind. Nevertheless, the nettle is not
of immaterial importance in the yegeta-
BILE kingdom, fact that is reconized
more by the hardy yeomanry among the
Grampian hills than by we Americans.
There are few who will admit that it is
a very palatable dish when served boiled
as green's, and surpasses the juicy PLAN
tain leaf, asparagus or beet top, but
these are not numerous. There is an
anecdote connected with the nettle
used in this respect, WHICH is pretty
good.
The mother of family in which there
was a bow of weak intellect heard that
the nettle made delicious green's, and
she wished to try them, but was afraid
she had been incorrectly informed. She
wasn't able to rid herself of the impress
sion that they were poisonous. She
finally, to satisfy her curiosity, conclud-
ed to boil some of them and give them
to the foolish son, and if he lived she
would then feel safe in cooking them for
the rest of the family. She tried
the experiment and was well satisfied
with the result. The roots of the plant
when boiled with alum afford a yellow
dye and the leaves give beautiful per-
manent green.
In Scotland the plant is considered
one OF the bestj fat-producers that
can be fed to swine, and in Sweden it is
cultivated for fodder for domestic amin
als.-Etcb Dqe.

Watering Newly Set Trees.

This is the rock ON which most tree
planters fall "Well," once said gem
tleman to me, ''those trees set out with
the geatest care, watered them every
day, but could save only part of them"
No wonder. Another gentleman wrote
me that dozen plum trees he had pur-
chased and planted were looking very
poorly, and he was afraid they would not
live. The trees appeared to be fine ones,
and he stated that he should give them
the best attention, water them himself
every day, in the hope they would do
well. | Immediately wrote him that if
the trees were well set out, and he would
let them alone, would give him two for
every one that died. He never made
any claim for the trees.
That newly planted trees i'll certain
unfayorable seasons and certain condi-
tons of soil do occasionally require wa
tering will not be denied. But the cases
are so rare that they are scarcely to be
taken into account. A tree properly
planted, with the soil i'll the right con-
dition, Immediately goes to work to re-
place roots which had been severed in
removal. The earth grows warmer every
day, and the young rootlets feel the in
fluence of this heat, and new fbers i'm
mediately break from them, as may be
seen by examination twenty-four hours
after planting. The soil has probably q
temperature of 600 or $50, and perhaps
more, but, just as all is going well enough
along comes the planter with a pot Of
cold water, which he dashes around the
tree, chilling the earth, and. indeed,
often killing the young tibers. Trees can
stand a great deal, or twice as many
would die. The tree leaves out with the

Sflphur for Grapevines.

The use OF sulphur powder for the de-
sruetion oi oidium, or mildew, has come
into such general use in vineyards that
little need be said concerning its effects
or the necessity OF using it. 1t has
proved itself to be the simlest and most
thorough remedy for a disease that once
threatened the utter destruction OF the
grape crop in almost every country. No
vine, be it never so young or vigorous,
ought to be deprived OF the benefit OF a
iudicious application of sulphur, the dis
ease being early transmitted into young
vineyards with the cuttings. A close
examination will often reveal dark spots
on the bark, and, if not systematically
DESTROYED, it will increase rapidly and
consequently be more difficult to eradi'
cate. Low lands seem to be more at
fiicted by it, as well as cold soils. Vines
trained high on stakes are more liable tC
suffer, probably on account OF the chill
ing influence of our cold nights. The
usual time of the first application is wher
the new shoots are eight to ten inches
long, having then sufficiently developed
leaves to retain the powder.-Son Jos
(Cal) Times.

to secure well developed buds, by pinch

We very greatly prefer plum or peach
stock as preventing the nuisance of
suckering for universal with the plum
stock. Plum stock dwarfs the peach to
some extent, but that does not compen-
