Tree Agents.

Brother Cheever says: eve have
never given but two orders to itinerant
tree canvassers. One was never filled,
the other was filled by something that
we would never have thought of pur-
chasing. 1t is much to be regretted
that so much fraud has been practiced
in the sale of nursery stock, for in some
respects the system of selling is good
one, for many are induced to raise fruit
who never would if they were not
urged by smooth-tongued agents. The
fault is quite as much the buyers as
the agents, for no one need to order
unless he chooses to do So"
This is true, and generally speaking
the people who are silly enough to buy
trees of long-tongued, lying peddler
are the very people that take no care
of the trees after they get them. 1t is
a waste of good trees to let such folks
have them to destroy, and the refuse
stock that most peddlers deal in is
plenty good enough for them. 1t is
astonishing how idiotic people are about
such things. We have known peddlers,
year after year, to go around in the
neighborhood of a fruit-grower and
nurseryman long established, respon-
sible and known to be by far the most
extensive and successful orchardist in
his neighborhood, and sell varieties
from their snowy plate-books utterly
unsuited to the locality at prices from
three to five times greater than well
adapted and well grown trees could be
bought for within twenty minutes ride
Now what can you do with such peo
pie? We know of no way except tC

A Reply to "R. d."

Mr.. Editor:-Your correspondent,
" r. D." of West Townshend, VT,
asks me this question; How is it
that when thrifty maple tree is cut
down in the height of the sugar-making
season the stump will continue to dis
charge sap in large quantities for sew
eral days, while but small quantity
will run from the trunk or branches,
and that for but a comparatively short
time?" This question is asked on the
supposition that the atmosphere is the
true source of our spring sap from the

Z" 1t seems to me most advisable not
to attach the mint exclusively to either
of the metals, because this cannot be
done effectually without destroying the
office and character of one of them as
money, and reducing it to the situation
of mere merchandise. To anrul the
use of either of the metals as money is
to abridge the quantity of the circuat-
ing medium, and is liable to all the OBJ
iections which arise from the COMPARE
son of the benefits of full with the
evils of scanty circulation. See

mix it well with three or four bushels
of wet sawdust before sowing. This is
a good way also to extend any kind of
seed for sowing broadcast, so as to get
it on even.

When the weather grows warmer, that
extreme tired feeling, want of appetite,
dullness, languor, and lassitude, afflict
almost the entire human family, and scrof-
ula and other diseases caused by humors,
manifest themselves with many. 1t is i'm
possible to throw off this debility and expel
humors from the blood without the aid of a
reliable medicine like Hoods Sarsaparilla.
81 could not sleep, and would get up in
the morning with hardly life enough to get

THE Boston CultiUator advises the
farmer to pay no attention to the warn
ings of the time, but to go on planting
and growing as much as before, with
out regard to the market. 1t doesn't
seem to think it would be any use to
advise the manufacturers to go on piling
up stocks in the same way.

woods and pastures furnish dead leaves,
which, when used under the two cows
and the horse for bedding, and as an
absorbent, make the best of manure,
and these leaves can be gathered after
the fall work is done. In the winter a
man may chop for the neighbors, or
take job of chopping on shares. He
will have enough to eat at home and no
rent to pay, and certainly he can earn
enough to clothe him and buy one, two,
three or more barrels of phosphate in
the spring. Even small hill farm will
have muck-bed, or, if not, muck may
be got out on shares for neighbor.
Twenty loads of muck mixed with
twenty bushels of ashes will dress an
acre well for potatoes, and yield a very
handsome, clean crop-a good deal
more than common family can eat, so
there will be enough to sell to buy ma
nure for the same acre another year.
Turn over bound-out piece of grass,
put on twenty bushels of ashes, plant it
to yellow-eye beans, and you will get,
on an average, twenty bushels of beans.
These will sell for enough to buy phos-
phate for three acres of potatoes or
corn, and the bean straw will winter
two or three sheep, at least. The cows
and the pigs and the hens and the sheep
will make manure. AS to the BONNER
method and compost heaps in general,
they are simply arrangements for the
purpose of making coarse materials into
fine and rich manure. There is too
much fussing" about the BONNER
method-too many gestures to very
simple thing. Anything of a vegetable
or animal origin is good to go into a
compost heap. Choose a handy place
for it where water will not stand around
it. Put your coarser materials at the
bottom, mixing finer ones with them to
fill up the crevices, and scattering a lit
tie ashes in to cause quicker decay.
Build your heap up square with muck,
dead leaves, waste straw, or strawy and
coarse manure. We would not use good
fine manure in compost heap. What
ever bones you have, or can collect,
burn white in the kitchen stove, pound
fine and scatter in with the other ma
terials of your heap. If you can buy a
barrel or two of ground bone, sprinkle
that in. Keep the heap wet with house
slops. If it heats strongly, cut the pile
down with shovel in slices and build
it up again, with square sides and flat
or following top. All the rain that will
fall on compost heap will not hurt it,
if it is built up square and three or -four
feet high, because it will never get
through it to leach it, When it all be-
comes fine, it is ready to use. The
BONNER method requires pit and a
pump, and a big pile of materials, and
liquid manure from the stable - al
things that are not needed for the small
operations of beginner on small
scale, and no better, on any scale, thar
the simple, uncostly way just described
The whole business is to get your coarse
material fine without loss by overhead
ing or teaching. 1t is just well-made

REPLY. We have seen the buds
eaten in this way, and ascribed it to the

night. 1t may be done by some of the
leaf-eating beetles. 2. You will find

At no other season is the system so sus-
ceptible to the beneficial effects of re-
liable tonic and invigorant. The impure
state of the blood, the deranged digestion,

blasts, all call for the reviving, regulating
and restoring influences so happily and
effectively combined in Hoods Sarsaparilla.

some of the goodness from it. Now
what ought / to mix with this to make
it suitable for small fruits, corn and

REPLY.-It requires something to
give it about three per cent of nitrogen
and about the same of potash, say, at a
guess, twelve quarts of sulphate or mu-
rate of potash, and eight quarts of sui
phate of ammonia (both made fine and
sifted) to a barrel, to be well mixed by
shoveling. This will make a complete
and very strong fertilizer of tat least
fifty per cent stronger than an ordinary
superphosphate.

Though it is complete fertilizer, never
theless it is not well balanced. 1t has
nitrogen enough for twice as much pot
ash, and four or five times as much
phosphoric acid. 1t has so much nitro
gen in the form of ammonia, or in
form easily converted into ammonia,
that if ashes is mixed with it and the
mass allowed to heat, the potash of the
ashes will set good deal of the ammo
mia free. The above is the analysis of
but single sample, and it should be
remembered that fowl manure varies
greatly with the feed of the fowls.
