Good Wash for Fruit Trees.

We make a horer wash for our
peach and other trees, and it answers
the double purpose of keeping out tho
borer and keeping the bark clean and
healthy. This wash is prepared by
adding a common bucketful of water
to two quarts of strong soft soap, half
a pint of crude carbolic acid, two
ounces of Paris green, with lime
enough to make thin paste that will
adhere to the tree. If convenient, 3
little clay or fresh COW dung may be
added to assist in making the wash
stick. Apply it with a swab or brush
about the base of the tree and in
the crotches Of the main branches.
The rains will wash it down from time
to time, and the whole trunk will re-
ceive the benefit In sprs ling the
trees when not In leaf I usually udd a
quarter of q pound or more of potash
to each bucketful of soapsuds, SO rs to

washes cost but little, and are of great
value to the orchard. American Agrt.

Log Cabin 0randmothers.

-. 1EsasE9 4 ~
An Indiana doctor has recently discovered
u common weed whose medicinal qualities
have never before been suspected, valu-
able remedy for bowel disorders.
mere Is nothing particularly strange
about this fact.
Nothing.
ana yet the very simplicity Of the new
discovery would, with some, seem to throw
Just doubt upon its power. To make it one
mas only to pour hot water over the leaves
Of the plant. In its preparation no vast
chemical works and appliances are re-
7uired. -
10 IT to be wondered at since such plainly
prepared remedies are accounted as of such
great merit in these days, that such
wonderful results attended our grand
mothers, whose teas and infusions of roots
and herbs and balsams, have exerted 80
great an influence in the maintenance of
health and lifel
Certainly not!
The greatest pieces of machinery strike
% most by their exceeding simplicity.
The secret Of the success of grand
mothers remedies was their freshness and.
simplicity. Every autumn found the little
Log Cabin abundantly supplied with fresh
leaves, roots, herbs and balsams, which
we're carefully dried and prepared and laid
way Tor use. Dreadng to call doctor be-
cause OF the expensiveness of his far-made
trips, they Immediately gave attention to
the disease and routed 1t before it had
gained q foothold.
The old Log Cabin grandmother, in cap
and high tucked gown, and perchance be-
specialized in rough silver, her weary feet
encased in ''hum made' slips, is the dear
sweet nurse who rises to the view of many
man and woman to day as the early years
OF life pass In retrospect.
The secrets Of grandmother's medicines
were rapidly being forgotten and the world
was not growing in tho grace of good
health. To restore the lost art Of log cabin
healing has been for years the desire of q
well-nown philanthropist in whose ances-
trail line were eight "goodly physicians" of
the old style, men who never saw medical
college save in the woods, nor 'medical
diploma except that inscribed on the faces
of healthy and long lived patients. Much
time and money was expended in securing
the old formula, which to-day are put forth
as LOG Cabin remedies hops
and buchu, cough and consumption, and
several others, by Warner, whose name is
famous ana standard for medical excel
lence all over the globe. These oldest, new
est and best preparations have been recog-
nized as Of such superexcellence that tod; y
they can be found with all leading dealers.
When Col. Ethan Allen was making his
tory along our northern frontier during the
revolution, Col Seth Warner, the fighting
Sheridan of that army, who was q skillful
natural doctor. used many such remedies,
notably like the Log Cabin extract, sarsa-
parilla and cough and consumption remedy,
among the soldiers with famous success.
They are noble inheritance which we of
to-day may enjoy to the full, as did our FORE
fathers, and using, reap, as did they, the
harvest of q life full Of days and full of use

CURIOUS COURTShiPS.

In some parts of Asia the question Of q
mans title to q bride must be settled by q
terce fight between the friends of the con-
racting parties. If his forces are victo.
:ious his sweetheart becomes his trophy.
On the island of Himia, opposite Rhodes,
girl ia not allowed 10 have lover until
she has brought up certain quantity of
'ponges and given proof of her ability to
lake them from a certain depth.
IN ancient Greece the lover was seldom
favored with an opportunity of telling his
passion to his mistress, and he used to pub
ish it by inscribing his name on the walls,
IN the bark of the trees, in the public walks
md upon the leaves Of books.
ACCORDING to DR.. Hayes, courtship among
The EsQuimaux has not much tenderness
about it. The match is made by the parents
# the couple. The lover must go out and
capture polar bear as an evidence of his
courage aud strength, and then steal his
sweetheart.
In the Isthmus Of Darien either sex can
10 tho counting, while in the Ukraine the
girl generally attends to it. When she falls
IN love with a man. she goes to his house
and declares her passion. If he declines to
accept her she remains there, and his case
becomes rather distressing.
AMONG the ancient Assyrians all mar
riageable young girls were assembled at
one place and the public crier put them up
for sale, one after the other. The money
which was received for those who were
handsome, and consequently sold we'll, was
bestowed as a wedding portion on those
who were plain.
A CURIOUS custom prevails in Oud Beier-
land, Holland. October is tho auspiclous
month, and on the first Sunday (known as
review-day) the lads and lasses, attired in
their best, promenade the village separate.
~, stare each other out of countenance, and
then retire to make up their minds on the
second Sunday, which is called decision
lay.
The Australian lover is lacking in tender.
ness, if tho statement made by Myers Deley
Is true. The lover makes up his mind as to
which woman shall be his bride, and then
hides in the bushes in the vicinity of her
dwelling. As soon as she comes near where
he is concealed he knocks her down with a
club and carries her off before she comes to.

FEEDING EXPERIMENTS.

NOOSO 1EOVl0& In8C Corn AlOD0 Ii Not
the Best Food for Sheep.
The result of experiments made at
different times and places in feeding
pigs has demonstrated that when fed
20 these animals heterogeneous food pro-
1uced a much greater per cent. of mus
lie, and non-nitrogenous greater per
cont. of fat.
10 ascertain if lambs would be af-
tected in the same way an experiment
was undertaken during the winter OF
1873, at Cornell University, Ithaca,
n. Y. Six lambs, six months old,
were chosen with careful reference to
uniformity in size, weight, shape, and
Of the same blood. On the 10th of
October they were shorn and placed in
box-stall together and fed alike till
November II to prepare them for the
experiment.
On November II they were divided
into two lots of three each, the total
weight of each lot being as nearly
equal as possible. At the beginning of
the experiment lot No. l was fed daily
one and one-half pounds of oilmeal and
one and one-half pounds of coarse wheat
bran. Later on, one pound of cotton
seed meal was substituted for one of
bran. Lot No. 2 was fed three pounds
IF cornmeal daily. Both lots were fed
as much timothy and clover as they
would eat up clean. All ate their rations
with avidity up to the last of Deem
GER, when that Of lot No. 2 had to be
reduced for short time to two pounds,
and it was not until March / when
our pounds of mangolds were added
to the rations of both lots that they
could be induced to eat their full
"ation of cornmeal.
The experiment lasted 166 DAYS.
The difference in the amount of water
frank was very marked. Lot l drank
IL pounds in 6 days; lot 2, 214 pounds.
All were slaughtered April 26. The
live weight of lot l was 81 pounds
greater than that of lot 2. In proper
lion to live weight, the dressed weight
Of lot l was per cent greater than lot
:. The wool of lot was 26 per cent.
greater than the wool of lot 2. The
bones of the hind legs of lot were "a
per cent. stronger than those of lot 2.
It is thus seen that the valuable parts
are largest in the lot fed on nitrogen
Gus food. The experiment is only one
Of series to be yet tried; but from it's
result the fact may be deduced that the
effect of feeding an undue proportion
of non-nitrogenors food to sheep is to
decrease the product of wool by one
quarter, the strength of the bones by
0ne-third, and to reduce the proportion
of both fat and lean meat. As no one
of these is desirable in sheep husband
~, we may conclude that corn alone is
not the best food for sheep. In this
experiment there is no evidence that
the ration rich in nitrogen caused any
marked increase of lean meat In lot
