Fruit Notes.

There are 1000 kinds of pears. 1,50O
sorts of apples. $50 plums, more than 100
varieties of gooseberries, and about 125
strawberries.
Debilitated orchards are neglected or.
chards, or else they are completely worn
out. In the latter case the only remedy
is to plant new trees.
One of the most extensive orchards in
this country is that of Robert McKinstey
of Hudson, n. Y, whose farm of SOC
acres is entirely set to apples, pears and
cherries. The orchards consist of about
g. 900 trees. Most of the fruit is shipped
to Europe.
The reason why grains are Objectionable
to orchards is that they do not receive
sufficient cultivation to give the soil the
amount of stirring during the growing
season which is necessary to give the
trees the greatest benefit. In many
Localities potatoes are the favorite
crop for young orchards; but it is
probable that corn is GENERALLY better,
since all the stirring which the soil re-
ceives in growing this crop comes at a
time when it is most desirable to encour-
age growth in the trees. and give them
plenty OF time to ripen their wood before
winter.
The Canadian Farmer mentions a man
who, with one assistant, sprayed an or
chard of 800 apple, 200 plum and 60 pear
trees tor the codling moth, in 32 hours.
Paris green, ounces to 40 gallons of
water, was applied with a force pump
when the apples were about the size OF
n,Na do ro-
sulting in almost complete freedom from
the pests.
If borers are in the trees they must be
destroyed The round-headed, which
works in most cases about the base of a
tree may be destro, ed by forcing a wire or
flexible twig into the hole. The fiat
headed borer, which in most cases works
Just under the bark on the south side of
the tree. may be captured by cutting off
the dead and discolored bark over his
burrows.
Old and weak trees need to be renovated.
The moss and some of the toughest of the
shaggy bark should be scraped off, and if
thorough washing with soft soap can be
given so much the better. Neglected
trees are liable to be attacked by borers.
The soap wash if applied IN June and Ju-
ly. will prevent eggs of borers being laid
The largest apple tee in the United
States is presumed to be on the farm of
Delos notchkiss in Marion, Conn. The
circumference of the trunk near the
ground is fifteen feet three inches, and at
the bottom of the branches sixteen feet
two inches. The height of the tree is six
fy feet while the diameter of the ton is 1O4
feet. One hundred and ten bushels of
apples have been harvested from the tree,
and the average crop is about eighty BUSH
els. The tree is supposed to be nearly
two hundred years old.

Beautiful Killarney.

That is what it is called, unless may be
more gushing adjective is employed.
But confess that | experienced sensa-
ton of disappointment when first beheld
these scenes. may have thought to en-
counter grander mountains; possibly |
had hoped and expected to have my eyes
ravished with an exquisite expanse of
lake. | cannot now recall Just what did
anticipate, but surely it was something in
excess of what | found-scenes such as
our New England States can easily
parallel. do not seek to be understood
as one who would unthinkingly cast
obloquy upon Killarney and lrret~evably
ruin its business. | acknowledge that the
combination of the wild and beautiful, the
fierce and the peaceful. in nature which is
here presented in circumscribed limits is
marvellous and never could cease to evoke
ones admiration. But if you've got your
spring sewing to do. or a carpet to beat,
or anything else that is important. then it
isn't worth your while to travel three
thousand odd miles to see Killarney alone.
Muckross Abbey was certainly the most
interesting sight of all this region The
grand old ruin, overgrown with the peace
full ivy, presented charming sight as we
approached it along the winding path of
the estate of Mr. Herbert. in which the
abbey stands. Here we encountered a
gentleman with gray hair and whiskers, a
strong voice and a kind heart who ex.
planned to Us the history of the ruin, and
scorned the silver fee we offered him At
first we were inclined to doubt the mans
sanity. Where were we-where had we
been the past few davs-we wonderingly
asked each other, that we thus encounter
an individual who leaks valuable informa-
ton by the quart and accepts therefor no
guerdon?
Gentlemen" he explained. in his strong
voice and broader accent. "Mr Herbert
keeps me here to look after the abbey and
he pays me well for it. do not wish a
fee. but | will gladly tell you what |
know Of the ruin "
He knew all there is at this day to be
found out. and interesting enough we
found it. The abbey was founded nearly
five hundred years ago, since which time
it has on several occasions been DESTROYED
and rebuilt, the various periods of restora-
ton standing boldly forth in the different
styles of architecture. Such portions of it
remain, and are likely to remain for gen.
CREATIONS to come, as afford the curious
visitor interesting insight into the life and
manner of that singular race of men, the
monks and friars. Many of the original
Irish kings are buried here, and we en-
joyed the rare pleasure of gazing opon
the tombstone of the redoutable Mccarthy

Our guide likewise showed us over the
grounds of his employer. and we gained
some slight conception of what private
gentleman enjoys in the way of magnif-
cent premises. The demesne embraces
some nine thousand acres A portion of
it is roamed by five thousand deer Mr..
Herbert struggles along under narrow
yearly income of about 100000. At
present he is in America, the man said.
and he added that he was to have been
married to Baltimore belle. but he be-
lieved the match had been broken off
Gentlemen, he said. as we left him,
with many thanks for his kindly favors.
Il have done but little for you-I wish it
could have been more-but what | have
done. has been done gladly because you
are Americans. 10 you every honest
Irishman should uncover his head. and
for what your country and your country
men are doing for our people, we praise
and bless YOU
We shook him warmly by the hand,
and the honest old fellow swung up the
path and out of sight, the earnest eloquence
of his words and voice remaining with us
pleasantly. So it always will remain with
us.-W. 0. FULLER in ROckldnd Courier

The Solidarity of Islam.

A striking example of the solidarity of the
followers of Islam is given in report bv the
Dutch officials on a recent outbreak in the
Psdang highlands on the west coast of Suma.
ira. conspiracy Of a most FORMIDABLE kind
against the Dutch was discovered in the nick
of time, and the rebellion which followed
proved abortive. The noticeable point is
that from beginning to end the name of the
Mahd was used; exaggerated reports of his
successes were circulated. forged letters from
(written in Malay were read at the meetings
of the ring-leaders, who conjured with the
name of the Soudanese leader. The fall of
khartoum resounded in Sumatra. as it has
done elsewhere in the Mohammedan world.
and moved to r belion ignorant Malay peas
ants. who assuredlv have no idea where Egyp,
is or whether there is any difference between
the Mahd and the Sultan.

How to RenOvate Lawns.

Lawns that have become worn out bv
neglect or other causes, and where it is
not convenient or desirable to renew by
ploughing up. may be greatly benefited
by running a light harrow over, if the
surface is large, or by a large steel rake
for smaller areas, after stirring the surface
by such means udiciously. so as not to too
severely hurt the roots. Lawn grass
should be sown over the surface after har-
rowing or raking in about hall the guam
tity advised for new lawns. After SOW
ing. the surface should be narrowed or
raked over, and firmly rolled or beaten
down, but if spurious grass or other weeds
have got possession of the lawn, that this
way of renovation would not be satisfac
tory. and it had better be ploughed under
and sown afresh.

OLD AGE.
How Mans Lease of Life may be
Lengthened.


Heightened.
The possibility of prolonging life has
commanded the serious attention of emf
nent scientists, and the discovery Of
some compound or elixir capable of pre-
venting or suspending physical decay, has
been, more than once, confidently pre-
dicted. The practical thing to consider
is, however, the prolongation of life by
proper care of the health, one of the
best means of maintaining which is the
occasiona. use of Ayers Pills. S. C..
Bradburn, Worthington, Mass, says:
"Ayer's Pills are
THE BEST
remedy for sick headache. arising from
an impure state of the stomach, and are
the mildest and best purgative in the
world. They were first recommended TO
me, by my mother, thirty years ago."
Mrs. j. G. Smith, Campbelltown, Ga,
says: 81 have been cured of Rheumatism,
and am now enjoying good health, through

stipaton. and Headache, from which !

all the medicine have required. Ayers
