URIC ACID CALCULL

The action OF the Buffalo Lithia Water
in the so-called Uric Acid DidtheSiS is espe-
cially happy.
u had a very gratifying experience In
case OF Calculi in the Bladder, OF Uric Acid
variety, In my own person. Between Feb
rusry / and May /, 1881, had thirty at
lacks OF great severity, passing IN each one
OF them number OF Calculi, aggregating
1856. Finding no permanent benefit from
any treatment OF the profession, made n
visit 10 the Buffalo Lithla springs. The
happy adaptation Of this water to my con-
dition was soon evident. aud It's use for a
few weeks arrested the Calculus formation
aud resulted in my entire relief. which |
have reason to hope Is permanent, as more
than q year has elapsed since there has been
any manifestation of the trouble"

VI great interest to the scientific world
was the recent blowing up of He'll Gate, in

station on shore by electrical appliances, SO
mat when all was ready they could be dis

managed the work. Abortion of the He'll

At the meeting of the American Pomolog-
zeal society Mr.. E. Moody gave his method
with the Goblin moth in his large apple
orchard. He sprayed the trees with a solu-
ton of London purple, in ratio of one half
pound to eighty gallons Of water, by means
of a force pump and q barrel on a wagon.
He had a machine SO arranged that the
spokes of the wheel did the pumping as the
wagon progressed. One man could manage
it and could sprinkle 1000 trees a day, at a
cost of not more than one-half a cent per
tree. By this easy and inexpensive method
he produced abundance of apples without
the mark of a worm upon them.
Mr.. Partridge, of Michigan, had an
orchard of 1,5oO apple trees. He adopted
much the same plan with that of Mr.,
Moody, and with equal success. He used
about 100 gallons of water. in which was
dissolved one-half pound of London purple,
for spraying each 100 trees. So it seems to
be settled and proved that fruit growers
can head off the Goblin moth, and give us
perfect fruit if they will make the neces-
sary effort.

The American Institute is q venerable
and conservative society that has given an
industrial fair annually in New York city
for ffty-four consecutive years. The fruit
and flower display is one OF the most IN
teresting features of the show.
APPLES,
Naturally, were the chief center of in
terest. since their culture is becoming SO
large a source Of income to the country,
both from home and foreign consumption.
There was a large variety, but it was
melancholy to see how few perfect ones
there were. They were Of splendid size,
many of tn m, but scabs. knots. lopsides
and worm holes were the rule. We ought
to make a united effort through the country
to get rid Of ths apple pests that are in
turing our orchards SO fatally. Almost
every year a new and unnamed variety
of insect or blight springs up, TIL
the raising OF orchards begins to be In
vested with new terrors. The only remedy
is high culture and eternal vigilance. Give
your orchards top dressings of manure and
pillow it in lightly. Let hogs run in the Or
chard to eat the wormy fruit as fast as 1t
falls. Keep the trees carefully trimmed so
as to make them compact headed, and re-
move all the useless growth of wood that
takes away the strength Of the tree. Other
helps to orchard culture will be mentioned
from time to time.
We noted some of the most perfect Of the
fall and winter apples at the fair. The fall
pippius were among the best. There wero
plates of mammoth pippins. apparently
without a blemish, three to four inches
across One of the finest looking fruits was
the old vandervere. Among fall and early
winte. specimens the Porter apple was a
beauty. So were the Westfield Ssek-no-
Farther and Ladies' Sweet.
