Ashes for Pear Trees.

Several wears ago took from the nursery
two pear trees. both of one size and kind
one of these set out where for years before
leach had been kept. and the other not more
than fifteen feet away. Where the first was
plaTted, the soil was well coated with ashes
which was worked in when putting out the
tree. The second stood in exactly the quail
ty ofsoil. but had no ashes.
These two trees having about the same
amount of root, and being equal in size and
yig0r, | marked the progress of them to de.
termine the value, if there was any, in ashes
for the pear
The first and second years both trees did
well, aud grew with about equal vigor; but
after that, number two did not more than
half keep pace with the tree in the ash bed
and to-day the latter is fully twice as large
as the former can attribute this difference
in growth to nothing but the ashes, but have
not experimental Tar enough to be positive in
the matter. | made similar experiment
with apple trees. but did not find so marked
a difference with these; however the trees
supplied with leached ashes grew the best,
and produces fruit more plentifully than the
other.
Not great amount of ashes was worked
into the soil in either of the above cases.
should estimate the amount at not over one
busbel. and this was chiefly kept in the sur
face soil and extending out from the trunk OF
the tree on all sides at least three feet. Ny
experience in tree planting has taught me
that the surface is the place for manure.
mean BY this that manure of any kind should
be mingled only with the surface soil, if the
full value is to be given to the tree. have
found also that the theory of manuring over
broad surface beneath the trees is correct
the roots search for life-giving elements fal

Influence of Beer on Health.

Colonel Green, president of the Connecticut
Mutual Life Insurance Company, says that in
one of our largest cities containing a great
population of beer drinkers, he had occasion
to note the deaths among large group of
persons whose habits, in their own eyes and
those of their friends and physicians, were
temperate; but they were habitual users of
beer, When the observations began, they
were. upon the average, something under
middle age, and they were, of course, selected

For two or three years there was nothing
very remarkable to be noted among thi.
group. Presently death began to strike it;
