Ounce Culture.

Failure IN ounce culture is mainly
attributable to two causes-lack Of nour-
ishm, mt and inattention to borers. The
ounce is an Unsuitable feeder. and an an
nual application of manure, salt and
wood ashes over the surface soil will in
crease the size Of the fruit and greatly
enhance its value. Whether or not the
fruit when especially vigorous outgrows

will almost surely bear perfect spoci.
mems, even when others near by are
badly affected and the fruit misshapcn
and poor. Borers surely prefer the
ounce to all other trees as a home for
offspring, or why do we notice so many
more of these pests in their rootsl The
simple method of searching for them at
least once every summer is an e'hcacious
mode of saving the trees. The little
mass of reddish sawdust indicates their
presence, where sharp-pointed knife
will trace them out.-Ncic Yorb Tribune

Organized Against Temperance.

The liquor dealers Of the country are work

intended as q national organization to work
against the Prohibition movement was
chartered in Chicago last week under the
laws of Illinois. Branches are to be estab-
lished in other cities. The design is to have
"a popular national movement against pro
hlbition, though in favor of temp rance ."
The liquor dealers of this State are to hold a
convention at Buffalo to consider what action
shall be taken in view of the approaching
elections. The Wine Liquor and Beer Deal
trs' Association, of New York City, has been
sending out a circular to the liquor dealers of
the country calling for a thorough or
ganZation in every town and city in the
state, ITO defend our vocation against

The Association is proud to state that in
the five years since its organization not one
obnoxious law has been placed on the statute
books OF this state, whereas it has been ''in-
srumental in passing several laws beneficial
TO our trade" Recipients OF the circular are
requested 10 study carefully the position to-
