A much larger area than is generally

less liable than the deep-running roots
to be broken OF by the action Of frost.

From a recent translation, by A.
Todd, beekeeper of Pennsylvania, we
have the following regarding diphtheria:
1t is now some time since the malady in
q certain region in France carried off
many poor children, who had neither
doctor nor medicine. Now, as soon as
the first symptoms appear, recourse is
had to honey. A good layer of honey
is spread upon a piece Of thick wrap
ping paper, and this plaster applied TO
the throat. This remedy has had the
greatest success; so much so. that in
the villages where il is difficult to call
in a doctor, it may be said no more
children die of this dread disease.
Bones contain three valuable fertiliz-
ing observation-disclosures, phosphorc
acid and ime-the first two ranking
among the highest in the list of plant
foods. Old. weathered bones have lost
some Of their nitrogen as compared with
fresh bones, but still retain pretty much
all Of their phosphoric acid. and may be
converted into most excellent fertilizer
and are sometimes disintegrated BY
mixing them with ashes. They are first
