THE FARM AND GARDEN.
LINE WITH THE ARsExrTEs.

Use of the arsenites-London-p purple
and Paris green-to protect apples is
bee omi2g very common, says Professor
A. J. Cook. That we may thus save
plums. if the fruit be abundant and the
curculio not very numerous, Is probably
true, and thus these poisons are going to
to be used more and more. As Is well
known, these substances often injure the
foliage not a little. If plant-lice or
drouth take frum the strength and vigor
of the trees then very likely they will
suffer more surely than VIXEN In full
vigor. Then we should strive TO remove
the chance of danger. We should never
use these.poisons stronger than one pound
to 200 gallons of water; that strength is
always sufficient to accomplish the pur-
pose. If weaker than this we do not
always reap full benefit. Last year Pro-
lessor Gillette found that by the use of
lime with these substances the soluble
arsenic was changed into an invaluable
compound, and then the foliage was not
injured. The same has been proved true
at the Michigan station. We expert
mented on all our fruit trees, even the
tender peach, and the lime in every case
prevented all injury. We tried several
applications at intervals of ten days on
some plants, and no harm resulted. We
see then that by use of Bordeaux mixture
or limewater, instead of pure water, we
can entirely prevent injury to foliage by
the arsenites. The limewater should be
formed by putting from one pound to
four pound of thoroughly slaked lime
into 100 gallons of water. If we wish
to use an lnsecticide and a funglcide at
the same time, then we may add one
pound London-purple to 100 gallons of
Bordeaux mixture. In every case the
fine must be carefully and thoroughly
soaked, or that will kill the foliage

FEEDING BEES.

The honey season has now passed as
frost has put in its appearance. After
swarms, possessing valuable young
queens, may not have sufficient stores to
last them until it can be gathered from
the fields. It is pity to let them starve,
for they may be valuable another season
and able to pay both principal and inter
est for what IS now loaned them. Honey
is the natural food for bees, but when
there is failure in this commodity we
must find substitute. Get the best
granulated sugar Gan inferior article will
not do, as it IS not safe for winter food)
and sift twenty pounds of it into pan
containing a gallon of water. If liquid
honey can be obtained add five or six
pounds, stirring it together; the honey
prevents granulation. If honey is not to
be had add just enough tartaric acid or
vinegar to make it little tart in order
to prevent granulation. This will be
appropriated by the bees if given to
them slightly warm. There are many
bee-feeders for sale by the trade, but any
earthen household vessel can be used for
the purpose if one is careful. A vessel
OF glass or earthenware Of strip for the
bees must be filled with cut straw, shay
ings, or chips. l have used little pans,
by tying over them cheese cloth loosely,
so that it would settle down as they took
out the sirup, and could not get under it.
Wooden butter dishes which do not leak,
make good feeders, as the bees can not
hold onto wood and not drown. The
Dadants use tin fruit cans by tying mus
lin over the top, and inverting them on
plate. The strip is held by atmos-
pl eric pressure, and can be placed above
the bees, when they will take it through
the muslin. Bees must be fed inside the
hive, in such way that none from the
outside can gain access to it; in two-story
hives this can readily be done. 1t is bet
ter to give twenty-five pounds of feed
now, than to disturb them by feeding IN
spring. They do not breed up strong in
spring when they know that their stores
are getting low. If they starve before
flowers bloom, all the feed given to them
will be lost.
A number of small colonies better be
united than left to starve and freeze.
Take away all queens but one, and set
in the combs alternately, no two from
the same hive together. The combs
containing honey could be uncapped and
put in the upper story, with little
place for the bees to come up, when they
will carry it Orange Judd

HOW TO DOUBLE THE VALUE OF MANURE.
The chemists of some of our expert
ment stations have adopted the following
trade values of the ingredients of fer
tilizers for the present year: Nitrogen,
per pound in hair, horn shavings, and
coarse fish scrap, seven cents; in ammonia
salts, eighteen and half cents. Phos-
phoric acid, per pound insoluble in
water, two cents; soluble in water,
eight cents.
Nitrogen is nitrogen, and phosphoric
acid is phosphoric acid, but there is .
great difference in their trade and manu-
rial value according to their availability.
A pound of insoluble nitrogen in coarse
fish scrap is worth only seven cents,
while pound of soluble nitrogen is
worth eighteen and a half cents. A
pound of insoluble phosphoric acid is
worth only two cents, while pound of
soluble phosphoric acid is worth eight
cents. The whole vast business of
manufacturing artificial fertilizers rests
on the discovery of method of convert
ing insoluble phosphoric acid into solu-
BILE phosphoric acid. But the manufac-
turers of fertilizers have not yet discov-
cred any cheap method of converting in
soluble nitrogen into soluble nitrogen.

TO RESTRAIN THE DRILLERs.

An Interesting Case Comes Up From
Willow Grove-Property Protected.
In the Court of Common Pleas No. .,
j. w. Kinnear yesterday filed bill in
equity and asked for an injunction in
behalf of the Arlington Lodge, knights Of
Pythias, to restrain W. r. Burson, A.
Lean and Samuel Mckinney from drilling
an oil well on a lot adjoining the one on
which the Knights propose to build
a hall in the town of Willow Grove.
The court refused the injunction
but granted all the plaintiffs expected,
viz, an order that defendants give bond
to secure plaintiffs from loss in the case of
fire or other injury. The contractor, a man
named ArcEwen, had commenced work but
refused to go on unless indemnified in case
of fire, and the probability is that the we'll
will be drillsG. Judge Bredin opposed
the bill
An interesting question arises which has
never been settled in this State, though a
very important one. Some lawyers, and care
full ones too, hold that man has no more
right to drill a well for oil or gas in a town,
nea- residence houses or other buildings
than he has to locate a powder magazine in
such place; that such work is equally
as menaclng as the stored powder would be,
and that bond to indemnify in case of dis
aster does not cover the ease. as indemnity
could not be accepted as sufficient in case
of loss of life There is no doubt
that drilling oil wells in towns
is great nuisance to many who are not
financially interested. Some nice residence
towns have been almost ruined for resi-
dence purposes, and only small proper
tion of the inhabitants benefited thereby, so
that the Sewickleyans had good cause for
apprehension as the drillers drew nigh
them in their operations.
A case is reported from Little Washing
ton in which a man sold lot to another and
inserted in the deed clause to prevent the
buyer from having the lot drilled for oil on
the ground of its being a nuisance. After
all had been settled the seller had we'll
drilled on lot adjoining the one he had
sold. The buyer was furious, but it seems
the case was not carried into court. Some
lawyers hold that he had good case against
the man he bought from.

GERADE Is GUILTY.
The Child Murderer Calmly Receives
the Jury's Verdict.
FAST WORK In CRIMINAL COURT.
An Interesting Injunction Case Comes From
Willow Grove.
GENERAL COURT NEWS OF INTEREST

Frank Gerade was convicted yesterday OF
murder in the first degree for the killing OF
his step-child. In view OF the weight of
the testimony produced at the second trial
the verdict was considered by many as a
most remarkable one, and it was almost the
unanimous opinion of those who had been
close observers throughout the trial that the
verdict was entirely due to one point raised
by District Attorney Burleigh in his
prosecution. The keynote of his argu-
ment to the jury was that if
the jury would find that Gerade was
so deranged at the time he committed the
murder as not to be able to comprehend the
consequences of his act, they could acquit
him, but otherwise they must convict
Judge Ewing did not dispute this in his
charge.
The charge was delivered at the opening
of the court. Judge Ewing seemed worried
when he went into court, and admitted to
the Jury that he was. 81 have never tried

me so much worry. 1t troubled my sleep

the case was so peculiarly important that he

sior.''
The jury retired at 1880 AT 2:45 they
sent word into court that they had agreed

in; j. Charles Dicken, one of his attorneys
was also present. The defendant was

mis- eyes upon the cradle, upon which he

he stared steadily during the reading of the
verdict. As the final words were spoken
hy the foreman, sealing for the second time
Gerades doom, percertible flush crept over
his face and b, gently knitted his eyebrows,
but rot muscle moved. He did not seem half
so surprised at the verdict as did the ma
iority of the spectators. who rather antici-
pated that the plea OF insanity had proven
of sufficient weight to acquit the defendant.
In discharging the jury, Jupge Ewing
said: Gentlemen, L have no recollectiou of
