FOR THE FARM AND HOME,
WnahiuH Fruit Troea.

Washing the trunks of fruits trees pre- vents them from becoming hide-bound. Such condition in tre, s is often started by poverty or unsuitable soil. Few soils can be too rich for fruit trees. If fcrtil- izers can be had cheaply, most orchards are benefited by manuring. If the ground beneath the tree be cropped with vegeta- ble or farm produce, manure must be ap- piled; the trees then get some as well as the vegetables. If grass is grown under the trees, unless the land is alluvial and some food is brought down from the higher land surface, dressing should be given every other year. It is good plan to have orchards in grass, provided care be taken not to permit the grass to starve the trees.

Useful Insects.

USc1uA AAoOCtD'
 In an excellent article on insects, pub lished in the proceedings of the Fruit Growers Association of Ontario, the writer says that insectivorous birds are useful helpers to the cultivator, although not so important as insect friends The birds devour alike the useful and the in- furious, the one as readily as the other, not being at all discriminating in this very essential particular. He remarks: ''Birds appear to do comparatively little to keep down injurious insects; the even balance between the useful and the nox> ious species, when disturbed by the over due accumulation of the latter, is set right mainly through the agency of friendly insects" The following useful insects named: The sand beetles, of which there are number of species, which are very active in their work. The Ca,ubide, of which there are in America, north of Mexico, over thous- and named species. They are nearly all insect eaters, some in the daytime, others in the night. They often climb trees in search of canker worms, tent caterpillars, and other injurious species, and consume them with great gusto. A third useful family are the lady-bugs, nearly all oi which feed on insects, and are especially fond of plant lice. Some are known to devour the eggs of the Colorado potato beetle. Among the four winged flies we have many useful and active friends, and many of them lay up store of insects as food for their young. A very important and useful family of insect killers are the Ichneumon flies, belonging to the same order as the wasps, which arc on the wing all day, searching in every nook and corner for caterpillars, into whose body they deposit their eggs, and where the future insects obtain their living. Myriads of caterpillars, says the writer, are in this manner yearly destroyed. Immense numbers of caterpillars arc also destroyed by the Tachina flies. Tho Syrphus flies devour great numbers of plant lice; and the well-known dragon flies are great insect eaters, catching their prey on the wing.
 The birds, whose usefulness is so often commended, make no distinction be, tween the aforementioned insects and those which are enemies to the cultivator, but devour all alike

The President and the Senate.

Under the heading OF In Nut
SHE'LL the Chicago ECanjHg Journal
SAYS:
There are two points in the conflict
of opinion between the president and
the senate that can be clearly stated
and are obvious and intellis ible
First-The president claims that
letters, statements and petitions ask
ing the removal of republican officers
and charging them with political OF
fences merely-that is, with .'offen-
sive partisanship"-are private and
confidential papers of his own, do not
constitute an official record, and
should not be sent by him or by the
members of his cabinet to the senate
when Il request to that effect is made.
1t is not understood that the presi-
dent has refused to send such papers
in cases where official malfeasance is
charged His refusal relates only to
cases where political removals merely
have been. The position of the pre-
sident as thus stated is certainly IN
tenabie, and to call it absurd would
not be a great misuse of language.
That the president can have any pri-
vate and confidential relations affect
his public and official acts, the public
exercise of executive power, or in dis
charging the duties of his office,
which he says is a public trust, is a
doctrine that can not be admitted to
any extent nor in any form.
Second-That the senate viii re-
fuse to confirm appointees Of the pre-
sident in cases where ii is alleged that
the removed official was so removed
for cause, unless the eauseS of such
removal Is stated. This is mere
matter of honor and justice. If an
officer was removed for merely politi-
cal reasons, let the president say so,
and that viii end the disturbance as
to that particular case. If an officer
was removed for causes affecting his
personal or official character, that fact
should be stated in equity to the re
moved officer, that the causes may be
investigated, and their nature be es-
by evidence.
