In many parts Of the country, q
sharp night last winter, dnFing which
the thermometer went to fifteen or
twenty degrees below zero, killed all
the frnit binds Of the peach, and these
trees will bear no fruit the present
season. The result will be the con
timed extension of the branches,
making the trees more def8Tmed than.
before. Most Of this extension IN.
growth is owing to the fact that we'll
formed terminal binds at the ends of.
last YEARS shoots are so hardy that
they are not winter killed, while the
fruit buds st the sides of these shoots
are all destroyed. Advantages may
be taken of THIS condition, not only tn
preventing the branches from running
ont longer into bare poles, bnt IN
bringing the trees into mute compact
and symmetrical form without SAcri-
fciug a crop. This is effected by
simply shorteDing-iB the longer ami
more projecting shoots IN spring BE-
fore they have commenced growing
As it Is nov too late TO perform thI~
wotk thoroughly, it may still be dome
in a moderate degree, provided thai
most of those WHICH are HoW growing
are suffered to remain and retain the
life and yigor of the trees. The peach
will endure cutting back while growing
much better than most other trees, bul
this qnali,y should not be taken Z
strong advantage of. A portion Of
the shoots may be cnt back now and
another portion a month later, still
leaving a liberal amount growing.

An ounce Of prevention is said TO
be worth more than many pounds OF
cure. There have been numerous
Earuable recipes for the cure of cholera
puBiished IN Ell the leading papers Of
Inc lane, but we do not remember to
have seen anything Of a reliable
character from trustworthy source
for the prsvention-of this dread dis
ease. The following from an emlBentiy
reliable source is well worthy The
earefnl consideration Of every one III
view of the threatened approach OF
the Asiaiic cholera, and it would be
well to cut it ont and paste II 10 a
convenient place for reference;
DIR. C. 7. Struggled, Of Chicago,
says that the best preventative Of
cholera is "sulphnric acid lemonade"
Cholera, be says, is Caused by a germ
which must have an alkaline medium
10 develop in. Therefore, if one
aeidify his system the cholera cannot
thrive in it. To make the drink ten
or fifteen drops of sulphuric acid are
aided 10 a quart Of boiling water,
which may be sweetened and iced u
ones taste. This should be drunk
instead Of water and IS harmless wher
properly diluted. This acid has beer
employed with great aysRtage il
eprdemios of cholera by DIR. Curtis il
the Philadelphia almsbunse insane
department. A very serious epldemlt
ceased after the inmates were pm mp
on the free use of sniphuric lemonade
Tue only case after this was that Of 4
man who refused TO use Pruphy tactic
Two days after use of sulphnrlc aclr
was stopped two new Cases occurred
aud the epidemic was again arrested b.
the use of snlphuric acid. In tn
surgical wards the acid was used frOG
the beginning of the epidemic. and i
these wards, although in no way $50
lated, the disease failed to make a
sDpeaFsuce.
