q good layer of fresh sill, common manure,
leaf mould, and the like laid over the roots,
and thorough watering during the summer
whenever the ground is the least dry. Only
those acquainted with such matters know
how dry the soil becomes where the roots
Of' trees abound, and II takes much water
to soak II afterward The fresh soil and
the water will work wonders. The effects
will not be very apparent the first lesson
unless 1t be in the production of numerous
buds and small growths from the older
wood but the next year and years follow
Ing the progress will be very marked, till
the tree quite fills up with young, healthy
growth again. This is observable in the
case of all evergreens, but especially in
yews, hollies, and rhododendrons, etc.
Conifers, too reciprocate such generous
treatment, but they must not be allowed
to go too far, as it would then be almost as
we'll to plant fresh trees.
AT the present time, or perhaps next sum
mer, we need not he surprised 10 see many
trees showing signs of debility, because
the soil got too dry last year, and in many
places has not yet had sufficient rain to
soak 1t thoroughly. Consequently, unless
the rainfall of the growing months is suf.
cient, deep.rooting trees will suffer, not
only from drought, but from want of food,
because without water the roots cannot
avail themselves of the food that is in the
soil, We have frequently noticed trees
that have shown the first signs of decay the
season after long drought, as in 1868,
which was succeeded by dry seasons. For
want OF sufficient moisture, tree may
starve with its roots in the midst of plenty.
No plant affords more striking example
of the effects of Ienovatng measures than
the vine. Old plants that have become
bark bound will, after being lifted at the
root and allowed more development at the
top, rend their old bark in all directions,
and swell up to twice the thickness they
were before, and that in two or three years,
the leaves and crops augmenting pro.
portionately. We have seen feeble old
vines eighty years old quite restored in this
way, and produce fine young wood of great,
er girth than tie old stems, and bear
remarkable fine fruit that took prizes at

one summer promising young groves are fire.
guently quite ruined. Large limbs and whole
trunks are blown to the ground by slight
winds. or the leaves wither as though blighted
by fire Examine the trunk and large limbs
of your locust and you will find they have
been riddled through and through. Round
holes with a heap OF excrement about them
show that it has been the work of an insect
pest or worm.
The little tiend is the locust borer. The
beetle flies by day. 1t is small, hard and
dark 1t appears in Nay and June and lays
its eggs upon the trunk of the tree. They
hatch and the larva go to work. When they
begin their destruction they may sometimes

For borers of this kind homemade soft
soap is about the best known remedy. Thin
il water and brush the trunk and large limbs
of trees thoroughly. 1t is also recommended
10 lay large piece of soap III the forks of the
trees, where the rains may wash it down
over the trunk.
Where homemade soft soap cannot be had,
common yellow will do. Wash the trunks
early in May, thoroughly, and the eggs will

In the fall examine the tree trunks. You

Fentilating Stables.

1t Is singular fact that In nine.tenths Of
the cases the fresh air Is let into the stable
at the rear of the cows. instead Of in front
Of them. The result Is that the cold air
drops down behind the cows, In It's way to
their heads and sweeps along with 1t the
odors from the smoking droppings, added
TO the constant eXhalations from the cows
bodies, for them to inhale at every breath
Some have even argued that this is the cor
rect way of introducing pure air, because
animals turn their tails to beating storm.
They forget that the animal seeks 10 pro-
tect its eyes and to avoid strong current
which interferes with breathing, while its
head is still in the midst OF plenty Of fresh
air. The cases Of a COW In a storm and a
COW in stable are not the same. Any ami
nal closely confined will instinctively turn
its face to the light and its nose to the fresh
air. Usually there is some upward draft in
front of the cows, but often there is none,
while few make Il free use Of absOrbents or
deodorizers. On entering the air is load
ed with offensive etiluvia and almost suffo
eating. And then the daryman wonders
why his milk tastes and smells of the
stable!
No amount of careful milking and hand
| ling of the milk will prevent this mishap
under such circumstances. The odors and
tlavors which have been inhaled by the cows
have mingled with their blood and poison
ed their bodies, and the milk secreted from
the blood IS loaded with these Odors and
| tlavors before it is drawn. See that veni
lation is perfect
Which is the more convenient, to turn
| your cows heads TO the wall and feed at the
sides, letting the droppings gather In pas
sage.way between them in the rear, to be
taken out on a sled or cart driven through,
or TO have the cows face together, so that
all are fed from Il single passage way, while
the drOppinS are scattered along the two
sides, occupying twice the space needed :?
| Or do You want to shovel them out through
| the window holes in piles against both sides
of the stable, to stand until they are drawn
out in the spring, when you are in hurry
with your work, or be left all sumner rot
ting and teaching, while your crops suf
fer for lack of them? Would il not be bet
ter to put the cows deads TO the walls, Civ
ing them the beneit of fresh air, with
proper ventilation from their rear up
through the root of the barn? Wouldn't il
make the cows healthier and the product
sweeter? Then would it not be better to
have the droppings all together behind and
between the two rows of cows, and haul
them out at least once a day, either spread
ing them where they will do the most
good or piling them on your manure heap,
under the manure shed TO rot.

This is the time of year when absOrbents
should be freely used in and about the sta
bles. Fermentation goes on rapidly these
days. NoXiouS gases are soon created from
the eXcrement both liquid am. solid. The
pungent OdOr of ammonia renders the air
of the stable unfit for the breathing of ami
mails confined. II will soon rot the best
leather, and from this one may Judge
whether il be fit 10 go into the lungs OF an
animal. An odOr that Is offensive To the
nOstrils is dangerous to the welfare Of the
animals that breath it. and what horse
stable Is not now offensive to the senses
Even with doors and windows all open il
is almost undesirable. Not only are the
animals injured by breathing such air but
there is also great waste of fertilizing
material attending it. When the air reeks
with ammonia great waste OF that valu-
at 10 element is gong on. Purity and econ
omy both demand its retention in It's prop.
er place.
This can only be done by the free use OF
absOrbents in The stable. For this use
something Is wanted that will absorb and
retain both liquid and gaseous manures, |
place muck at the head of the list for this
purpose. It's absOrbsive capacity l. some
thing marvellous. II will hold three times
its own weight of liquid matter, 70 say
nothing of the gases that il absorD5. 1t is
valuable of itself as a manure containing Il
rich supply of plant food only second in
com pleteness to stable manure. Add 10
this its value as an absorbent, and We have
truly valuable auxiliary 10 the manure
heap in the muck absorbent.
1t should be taken out of the bed and
we'll cured before using. II is a good plan
to have out a years supply ahead. 4 good
quantity should be kept stored Convenient
ly by the stable for use al all times and

The borer is fatal to all peach trees not
fully protected against its ravaGes. This can
be successfully done by the application of the
following wash: Four gallons whitewash, two
quarts clay, two quarts fresh cow droppings,
one quart I've that bears an egg. Mix these
ingredients to a proper consistency with
water Remove the ground from the top of
the roots close to the tree and apply the wash
to the exposed roots and to the whole trunk

Gas tar water is sure death to potato bugs
S. r. Hart OF Brighton, y. Y, near 10 hes
ter, has for two years past used on his potato
vines water which has been impreGnated with
gas tar. Put two quarts Of gas tar ii a pail
and fill the pail with water; stir it up well
and let the tar settle; then sprinkle the vines
with the water from sprimkling pot This
has proved moro effective than Paris green.
He has Also tried it on currant bushes, and
finds it equally effective 1t is inexpensive
and perfectly reliable, and no doubt will
prove equally sure death to insects of every
kind on trees. This gas tar can be had for 81
barrel, and one barrel would supply II
