LIME AND ASHES For FRUIT TREES.

1t is well known fact that the differ
and ripen their fruit in all parts of this
country alike or at the same time. The
climate is usually held responsible for
this. Fruit growers of the Middle States,
upon hearing of the good quality of a
certain variety of fruit grown in another
part of the country, have often sent off
for and planted it. If the result failed to
correspond to the time and labor be-
slowed upon it the planter at once
jumped at the conclusion that the cli-
mate is not favorable, or that the origin
ator is fraud. This, however, is great
mistake in many cases. Had the soil
upon which this particular fruit done.so
well been thoroughly examined, both as
to its composure ami composition, and
had the knowledge thus gained been
brought to a practical use, different re-
suit would have followed. l believe that
the soil, as a whole, has more influence
over the growth of plants and trees than
the climate itself. The latter does all in
the way of fastening or retarding the
ripening of the fruit, but the former
certainly influences greatly the life and
progress of the tree, inasmuch as it gives
or withholds the nourishment. Hence
the value of special manure is evil
denced.
Lime and its phosphates constitute the
main ingredients of all fertilizers for
fruit trees, and many old and worn out
orchards have been made young by q
judicious application of lime, ashes, etc.
In nine cases out of every ten, where q
certain variety. of fruit which had always
done well suddenly refused to bloom and
bear, the cause will be found in the lack
of these necessary mineral substances. A
liberal application of wood ashes, oi
wood ashes and. lime, will, in nearly al
such cases, again bring the trees to theil
former healthy, bearing state. Analyst.
of the composition of ground fol
orchards have in the last few years con
vinced many that very much heretofore
accredited to the climate was simply
caused by the absence of these necessary
inorganic and mineral substances of thu
soil. This being the case let us draw
lesson from the above-i. e., in getting
! plants, trees, ETC., from other parts, le
us demand a correct analysis of the sol
upon which that fruit attained its high
est perfection. Thus we could plant then
in the same kind of soil and suffer fa
less disappointment in the result. Nur
serymen would soon become accustome,
to this new order of things, and com
plants over failures of extra good sort
of fruit would become exceptions wher
they are now the rule.-Aiami Yale

RAISING rARBAGE.

For very carly cabbage the seed should
be sown in hotbeds, and the plants after
ward be hardened in cold frames and
transplanted to open ground as early as
possible in the spring. The late fall and
winter varieties may be sown about the
middle Of spring, and should be trans
planted when about five inches high. 1t
is quite important that the long stems of
the plants be'set deep. At the South cab
bage may be sown in October and be trans
planted into cold frames TO preserve in
the severest cold of winter, and be set in
the open ground as soon as the season
will admit. 1t is quite good plain in
the North to raise few plants by sowing
the seed in a box OF fine earth in Febru-
ary, suspending the box in a window,
then transplant as soon as the ground has
thawed out. In many portions of the
South full grown plants succeed without
winter protection. n.-Ne0 York World.

Decline of the Whaling Industry.

New Bedford, Mass, was at one time
the greatest whaling port in the world.
With the decline Of the whaling industry,
however, mills were erected, and now the
town has become a manufacturing rather
than a seaport town. A dozen aband-
oned whalers lying at the docks tell of
long past days. 1t is strange fact that
the timbers of a whaling vessel seldom
decay. They become so permeated with
oil that they are capable Of resisting
times ravages for long time. But their
peculiar shape renders them useless for
other traffic. What whaling is now done
is moftlNip the hands of the Portuguese.
