WHAT Ais THE rREEsl
BASKERVILLE, ". T..
March 5th. 1855.

March 5th, ISIS.
Mr.. 4. MEEYER,
Ag. Editor PosT-lxrELLIsENcER:
DEAR SIR wish to know il you can
inform me what ais my fruit trees,
also remedy for same. l planted IN
orchard here some ten years since on
bench and high vine maple bottom.
The trees did well for about three years,
then began - die. The first symp-
tom Of isease 1 noticed was the leaves
turning black, or have black spots
come on them; then would soon no
tice black dead spots come on the bark,
and finally the branch would die. The
bodies Of ali the trees (apple) are COW
cred with spots where the bark Is dead
and loose from the tree, which will be
from the size OF dollar to the size Of
Q man hand. | have heavily ma
nured the trees every spring with COW
droppings and cultivated space Of six
feet IN diameter around them with .
AIDE each spring. The land Is sown
to timothy. Most respectfully,
Isaac WHEATON,.
The foregoing letter describes pre-
cisely our own experience for, 10! these
many years. Just what is the cause
of this disease Of the apple tree Is Is
yet. in our opinion, past finding out.
W have q theory that it is caused in
part by early growth, followed by
sharp frosts. Certain varieties seem
to be more liable to attack than 9TH
ers. We lost all our Gravensteins
when young; and later, when near
twenty years old, two beautiful full
rows Of the Northern Spy. Wet
ground is certainly conducive to this
di ease. as also very quick warm land.
Our neighbor Carson has an orchard
thirty years old that is sound. His
trees stand upon clay land aud near
the river bank, where the natural
drainage was good. In our case all
roots were near the surface, for the
land was too vet 70 admit Of deep
growth; while in my neighbours ex E.
rience the roots run down deep. and.
besides, the land was Of Q clayey ma
ture, and not so warm Is more sandy
land. Later, after We drained our
land, the loss Of trees has not been so
great aud the blemish on many has
disapps AIRED. We would suggest, first,
be sure the land is dry enough to allow
the roots to run deep; then early
spring weather or sudden changes will
not affect your trees so much. Sec
ond, cease to manure or cultivate and
seed the orchard to red clover, but be
sure you do not cut or carry away any
Of the crop, but let it fall and mulch
the ground. By so doing you will
doubtless be able to check the -avages
Of this disease, and maybe save the
orchard entire. 1t is ct least worth
trying.

Again: Can young fish Be obtained

FAMILIAR talk.

Last Thursday l was over to Fred's.
81 i'nyaliup. and had IN early break
lest with them. Clara had fried eggs.
There was nothing unusual or extra
ordinary In that fact alone, but she
said: Do you know, father, we put
down these eggs last fsiig" II had
not been told that Of the one tasted
could not have distinguished Il Il ON
sfresh id egg; neither could any one
detect the difference by the appearance
Of II on the plate. These we're some
that had been overlooked when using
the eggs that had been put down last
August, think they said. according
b the recipe published again few
weeks ago In the agri ultural depart
ment OF the Posr-isTKLLIaEscEa. Fred
said he had mind to go into he egg
business. which would be good thing
for every farmer to do. but not to rush
the eggs into market when they get
below fair paying price; better buy
then aud not sell.
Eggs. though. are a high priced food.
l. O.. they usually sell for more than
their actual intrinsic value A. CON-
pared with many other food products.
Approximately four pounds Of skim
milk supplies as many pounds of pro-
Nh and carbohydrates las much nu-
Biiion-as one pound OF eggs, aud ye.
NE latter will sell for three imes as
much as the former. The computed
comparative value Of average whole
mix by chemical analysis is $500 per
100 pounds for milk as against siU.5
Of the same weight OF eggs; or, In
other words. three pounds of milk
have an intrinsic iood value nearly
equal to one pound Of eggs. Hence
milk at 20 cents per quart would be no
more expensive than eggs at i6 cents
per d,xen. We all know that eggs
here sell for more than he price stat
ed. while milk Is TO be had at much
less than the price named.

THE SIOUX REFUSE TO SIGN.

ST. PAUL July 3o.--A special from
Standing Rock Agency received at two
o'clock this morning says: The ultima
tum Of the Indions was given the com
missioners to-day. The Indians were in
council all Thursday night, and after
many speeches every Indian gave his
assent to the proposition not to sign the
treaty. John Gross was chosen to pre-
sent the ultimatum to the commission,
assisted by Gaul and other chiefs. Gross
referred to the former treaties broken by
the whites, and spoke about the Black
Hills treaty, Chairman Pratt had said
that their lands could not be taken except
by consent ofthree. quarters of the Indians
This was the proposition Of the other
treaty. How then did the whites take
the Black Hills when they only got
about 800 Indians to sign?
THE INDIANS WERE FOOLS THEN,
as they have always been, in making
treaties, and we hope that we and our
children will talk slow and not be fools
hereafter. You move other Iudian
tribes among us off OF the land given the
whites. We do not want this, aud the
other tribes viii, not Ike it either. The
whites owe US much under the treaties
of years ago. The government should
give us what it now owes before it ask.
for more. We have our crops to lock
after, and must get back to work. W.
will not sign. We came hero because
our agent asked US to, and we did moi
want to shame him. You cannot get ut
to sign.
After Gross finished Gaul vas called
but simply affirmed what had been said
At Chairman Pratts request the Indians
consented to stay until Monday, but salt
they would not sign then. Mclaughlin
the agent, who has the complete conf
dence of the Indians, has done all h,
could to influence them to sign, but t,
no avail. Gov. Church and Auditor
Ward will be down to Mondays con
ference, but there is little prospect Of ;
| change in sentiment,
