CHATAIaNIER, March 90, 1890.
The undaunted farmers of this section have
begun work with redonbled vigor and energy
to be able to make up for the delay caused by
the heavy freeze in the beginning of the
month. Nearly all have planted or replanted
their corn, and large portion of it is already
several inches high. Rice has been planted
to considerable extent. This staple, plant
ed at the present season, will undoubtedly be
slow in sprouting and coming up; but when
one is we'll prepared to irrigate, rice planted
now is sure crop, and furthermore it is so
much work done that will not have to be done
in the more busy season.
Gardens, which felt the effects of the freeze
more than anything else, are worked and
planted, and getting to look nice again.
Fruit trees are budding and blossoming with
as much vigor as ever.
Preparations are on foot for the erection of
Catholic church.. S.R.

Fruit Culture.

Fruit culture, like farming, in this
country, has been comparatively easy.
The early settlers introduced fruits, and
the apple, the pear, the plum. the
cherry and the peach, together with
small fruits, were raised more or less
plentifully in colonial times. As new
lands we're entered upon, and local
markets developed new orchards and
fruit gardens were planted. But sue
cessively each branch of the industry
when extended has found new and
Numerous enemies in insects and fungi;
and especially is this true since railroad
facilities have been increased and quick
transportation and ready markets have
favored the planting of large areas.
The extension of fruit grounds and the
increase of fruit enemies have pro-
ceeded pdri passu, good breeding

ment favoring the parasitic hordes,
until it has seemed that their destruc-
tlon was possible only by the destruc-
tion of the hosts upon which they live
and rear their progeny.
For some years past, one has seldom
been able to see sound apples, whether
the orchards have borne abupdantly or
sparsely. The great enemy of this fruit
has been the Goblin moth, and for years
it baffled the ingenuity and persever-
ance of orchardists for its destruction;
now We have learned how to deal with
it. and year after year sees the practice
extending of spraying the trees with
paris green when the fruit is just
formed. And this practice must be
continued by all who expect to raise
sound apples. Some, perhaps many,
will neglect to make use of this means,
and as result will have only wormy
fruit, which will command a low price
in market. Those who will not take the
necessary pains to secure sound fruit
will eventually be driven out of the
business.-Vicks Magdzine for July.

Canning Fruit.

Canning is An improvement upon the
old fashioned method of preserving
pound for pound in sugar. It retains
more of the fresh and naturalalavor, is
tar less trouble to prepare, and more
economical All fruits may be canned
with or without sugar, as the sugar
takes no part whatever in the preserva-
tion. For favoring ice e-creams and
water-ices it is desirable to can the
fruits without sugar. Choose only per-
fectly sound and fresh fruits. 1t is
false economy to purchase fruits on the
verge OF decay, even at very reduced
rates, as thew quickly ferment after cam

If hen will leave her nest when any
one approaches she should not be used
for setting purposes. She will gen.
orally prove an unsteady setter and
breaker of eggs.
A CORRESPONDENT of the Mdssa-
chusetts PiOughman says that a quart Of
vinegar in half a pail of water, If thor
oughly sprinkled over the interior of a
hem house. will free it from lice, when
whitewashing and other remedies have
failed.
THE claim that pounded oyster shells
assist in providing lime for egg shells
is not sustained. The hens in lime
stone sections and along the seashore,
where shells are plentiful. lay eggs with
soft shells as frequently as those else
where. The lime of egg shells is de-
rived from the food.
THE experiments of Drs. Koch and
Sutton, according to the Sanitary Era,
prove that tuberculosis has its origin
with fowls, and that the washings from
barnyards carry the germs into adjoin-
ing wells or brooks, thus contaminating
the water used for drinking. The germs

tack.
GET hogshead and use it for storing
the poultry droppings. By this method
it will be found that several hogsheads
can be saved in short time. The
quantity of manure made by poultry
cannot be estimated until the expert
ment of attempting to save it is made,
when those who have not done SO before
will be surprised at the large quantity
derived, which will not include that
which is lost on the range.
