The London (England) Times says
emo, still suffering from the effect Of
earthquakes, has been visited by another
calamity. A large number of the lemon
and orange trees, which form one of the
chief resources of the island, are attacked
by an unknown disease and specialists
are being sent by the Minister of Com
merce to make Investigations into the
matter. Meanwhile the pious inhabitants
are having recourse to supernatural rem
edIes. Having chartered a special steamer
they have brought from one of the monas-
teries OF Mount AthOs miTacle-working
girdle of the Virgin, and a grand process
sion, headed by the Orthodox Metropoli-
tan, is bearing the sacred relic through
the orchards

Chickens in the Garden.

Young brood chickens are beneficial
to the garde Bhile old fowls are very
destructive anH4eannot be allowed within
its precincts. A number OF young broods,
with the hens confined in coOps, will do
much in destroying the insects. The in
sects in the garden are legion, particularly
in a dry time, which favors their increase,
and forty or fifty little active fellows of
chickens will destroy great quantity of
them in day. They also eat more or less
of the young and tender weeds when they
first come up, and as they should be the
only kind of weeds permitted to grow in
the garden, they will aid in its cultiva-
ton. AS soon as these broods become
large enough to hurt the vegetables they
should be removed to the chickenyard.
Chickens are very destructive to tomatoes,
and we have discovered theme eating grapes
with great aVidity. Breeders Journal for

LIQUID Manure.

Any sort of manure infused in water,
which is then poured over the soil, cen
tanning the roots of the plants to be fed,
constitutes liquid manuring. Nature ma
nures similarly with the water of rain,
which, falling on the surface, dissolves a
small portion of whatever plant-foOd may
be there and carries it to the roots. 1t
will be seen that there is great advan-
tage in the slow solubility Of the surface
plant-fOod; wet seasons dissolve it faster
than plants consume it, and it wastes, so
that after wet seasons, we usually have
reduced crops, and good ones after dry
seasons; with water) in dry countries.
Liquid manuring is largely used in pot
culture of plants and fruits. AS in feed
ing animals, moderation and dilutiOn are
advisable. 1t is a means Of supplying at
any moment, and in any degree, what ma
ture feeds irregularly, and often slowly.
With it, pure sand alone is a sufficient
and excellent soil.-Nel0 York Tribune.

FOREST FOR IRELAND.
a Scheme to Plant 5000 900 Acres 1
Trees,

A scheme to Plant 5000 900 Acres In
Trees.
We learn from the Popular Science
Monthly that at the suggestion of DIR.
Lyon, Member of Parliament for Dublin,
Mr.. D. HOwitz, Forest Conservator for
Denmark, has made an examination of
the resources and the need of Ireland for
forest cultivation, and his observations
and conclusions, which have been en-
bodied in a Parliamentary report, fOrcibly
illustrate the evils consequent upon the
reckless denudatiOn Of the land of its for
ests. He has found that ''swamps and
mOrasseS are created in Ireland from the
want Of trees to drink up the superfluOus
moisture. Irish rivers Inundate the dis
tricts they traverse because there are no
forests on the mountain tops to arrest and
retain the autumn and spring rains. In
summer there's adearth of water because
the trees are gone which would have
served, each, as a reservoir.
Irish agriculture, by its system of straight
drains, which Mr. HOwitz entirely disap-
proves, has acted as if water were poison
instead of nutriment. In the past by fell
ing the mountain woods. and in the pres
ent by planting no successors, it has done
worse by tapping the supply at its source.
4ElSu LIullluAut5S Is 4EduuaAlA DelDS
drained and washed away into the lakes
and seas, and no preparation has been
made to replenish it." Fortunately, how
ever, the island presents the especial con-
ditiOns for rendering forestry easy and
beneficial. Five million Of its twenty
million acres are waste, and might be
planted with a reasonable certainty Of
profit; and these lands would grow Yalua-
bic timber, instead of the cOmmOner and
cheaper kinds. The list of available trees
includes thirty-siN cOnifers, thiTty-eight
deciduOus and hardwood species and
eight sorts of bushes. Mr.. HOwitz has
drawn up from personal inspection a
scheme for planting a hundred thousand
acres every year for the next thirty years.
By the end Of that time a plantation, he
estimates, will come to full productive
capacity, besides having already given in
cideutal returns from brushwOOd and sap
liHgs. The cost per acre at the end Of
thirty years viii have been, at the high
est, twenty pounds, or one hundred dol
lars, while the lowest annual profits are
computed at present prices at one pound,
or five dollars per acre; and as the demand
for timber is all the time rising, and the
area Of supply narrowing, they are likely
u be higher. The suggestions contained
in Mr.. HOwitz's report are timely for those
who are striving to arrest and remedy the
evils resulting from Interpretation Of the
timber growth in many sections Of our
own country.

LONG PNEUMATIC TUBE.
a Nine Hundred-SIfle Double Barreled
Air-Gun.


Air-Gun.
A company is getting ready to build a
pneumatic tube, for carrying letters and
small packages from Chicago to New
York. The idea, says the New York
Graphic, at first seems impracticable, but
on examination it turns out to be feasible.
Two tubes are to be made Of brass, which
will run side by side, although, it is said,
one tube viii be tried at first. A power
erful engine, with an exhaust wheel, is
10 be stationed at one end. 1t is said that
if the tube is properly made and planted
no air will escape. The right Of way, it is
believed, can be secured for nothing, or at
a nominal expense, and the main cost
will be the tubes and the engines and sta
tions. A letter, a sample of grain, or
package of any kind which is to be sent
is enclosed in a leather ball. A ball pre-
sents the least friction as rolling object,
and the leather is to be stiff and heavy.
A current of air is passing through the
tube constantly. With one pipe the plan
is to reverse the engine every hOur-the
first hour forcing air into it at the Chicago
end and sending packages to New York,
the next hour exhaustlng the air at Chi
cagO and drawing the packages as quick
" back. The men who have it in charge
do not say how long it will take to send a
package this way, but claim to be able to
do it in less than minute. Stations will
be established at the important cities on
the route. 1t is expected to pay large
profit. and to do the business of the tele-
graph companies, express companies and
the mail. They say the scheme of send
ing crude petroleum by pipe for long
distances, as is now done, was laughed
at at first, and that this one is more prac-
ticable, if possible, and not nearly so
costly. as the pipes are to be small, and
can 90 around curves and over hill as

Bouquets for Garfield and Arthur

flowers is placed upon the mantel in the

there are two of these bouquets. A friend

holder just beside it. This has been her
custom ever since he died. She keeps it
up constantly, bringing the flowers from
her own home. There are two bouquets
there now, as you see. Recently placed
on the other end Of the mantel a picture
Of President Arthur, which l had painted
for myself, and now she brings two bOu-

Onions Not Trimmed.

Some onion growers make it a part of
their annual work to begin thinning their
onions as soon as they are few inches
high, and do so occasionally until the
plants are from six inches to a foot apart.
If the soil and position are good this is q
sure way to obtain fine bulbs, large and
well-shaped; but further than this thin
growing has no advantage. An excessive
weight of crop is not secured in this way,
and large bulbs never keep so long sound
as small and medium-siZed ones. OF this
have had many proofs and any one may
satisfy himself on this point. For exhi.
bition the bulbs must have plenty of space
to develop, and when this is stated the
whole of the advantage Of much thinning
and thin growing has been named.-J
