Oalomel for Pear Blight.

Oal0mel tor Pear Blight.
The subject of pear blight is of great
interest to nearly all North Florida peo-
pie, consequently any note on that sub.
ject is eagerly read.
A great many cures for this malady of
the pear tree have been propounded
until no cure attracted attention unless
1t was "sure cure" So many of the
"sure cures" have been tried and with
so little encouragement that the great
majority of pear growers afflicted with
the presence of this disease in their
pear orchards cannot be aroused from
the lethargy unless we offer an "abso-
lutte cure"
On page 729 you have given dlrec lions
for the use of calomel to cure pear
blight. Several years ago the same news
came from Texas. At that time 1t was
eagerly taken up ard used on some
West Florida pear trees. The pear trees
and blight still lived together last July
and will probably do so until the pear
trees cease to exist. We cannot &C.
count for this decided failure on the
part of the remedy in Florida.
The remedy is anything but popular
either in Texas or in Alabama. The
best authorities in our State and else
where agree that there is only one prac-
teal remedy and that Is by cutting out
the parts affected. For further discus
sion of this subject see page so of G. L.
Taber's catalogue for 1866.

GRANULAR BUTTER-How HANDLED.
If instructions Of last paragraph are
followed, the butter will be in granules-
about the size of wheat kernels. Draw
off the buttermilk, and with dipper
pour pail of cold water over the butter,
letting it run through it and out of the
churn. This hardens the granules of
butter and prevents their massing to-
gether. Next, cover the butter with
cold water, and move the churn back
and forth few times, draw off the
water ana repeat until the water runs
from the churn clear. At this stage it is
recommended and practiced by many to
cover the butter with strong brine,
. (Which can be kept for this purpose and
repeatedly used by occasional scalding
to keep pure,) which hardens the grains
and more perfectly liberates the butter
milk, giving the butter a brighter APP
pearanCe.
1t is now ready for the salt. The
amount of salt required depends on the
tastes of the consumers and the demands
of the maket. The average is ore ounce
of salt to the pound of butter. In some
markets only three-fourths of that guam
tity is wanted. Prof. L. B. Arnold says:
"There is constant tendency to less
salt The best judges prefer less than
one-half ounce to the pound, and people
generally prefer butter flavor to salt
flavor"
The butter should be weighed, or by
some system correctly estimated and
the salt also weighed. The latter can be
sjfted on while the butter is still In the
churn, by stirring or moving it from
side to side; or it can be sifted on as it is
removed to che butter bowl. Or, spread
the butter on the butter worker and sift
on the salt; then remove to the butter
trap, cover it with a cloth wet in brino
to ex clude the air, let it rem ain for
few hours for the salt to dissolve, when a
light working prepares it for the pack
age. The advantak e of this method is
that the buttermilk is removed, and the
salt coming in contact with the small
particles is thoroughly incorporated
without working the butter, except to
liberate the, brine, thus preserving the
grain perfectly and consequently Its
. keeping qualities.
WORK BUT LITTLE.
Some good butter makers, whom l
1 have conversed with, claim to get along
well without working the butter, and if
they can do so successfully, it is GER
tainly great point gained. This is an
Z other matter for butter makers to test
S for themselves by actual experiment.
The reader can easily understand that
as the buttermilk is all disposed of by
rinsing and draining, the only need for
working is to liberate the brine. One
s thing is certain, the less working the
butter and If working can be entirely
dispersed with, so much the better.
Overworking ruins a great deal Of butter.

ARREST OF A BICYCLE THIxF.-John
Edward Moore was arrested st Manas-
sas Saturday on suspicion for Offering
for sale nearly new bicycle at $40.
The police station in this city was az
prised ofthe arrest by telegraph, and
the party who had lost the wheel hav-
ing previously informed the authorities
here Of the theft, the telegram was
sent to him. Moore was taken TO
Washington yesterday by Police De-
tectiye r. n. Boardman, OF that city.
The prisoner is boy about seventeen
years of age. He says his home is in
Camden, N. j., where he has mother
and sister living. Up to within g. few
moments of the arrival of the train he
had denied taking the wheel, which
was the property of q messenger boy in
Washington, saying he bought it in
Philadelphia, but just before he left he
acknowledged that he had taken 1t.
He said he had ingratiated himself with
q party of messenger boys, and was
loaned wheel by one to accompany
another on trip. Being a slow rider
he was outdistanced. and being by HIM
self he conceived the idea of running
away with the wheel, which he did,
riding to Manassas with the results as
stated. he passed through this city
early Saturday morning. Moore was
bailed this morning in the sum of $500.

THE WEATHER.-Betweep FIVE and
six o'clock yesterday dark cloud bank
in the western heavens gave every evil
dsnce of the approach of the long-look-
editor rain. An hour later there was q
slight sprinkle which was followed by
others. This morning, however, the
heavens became clear as the sun began
to climb the sky and the temperature
became high again. Cameron Run,
from which this city gets its water sup
ply, is falling off every day and while
there is no scarcity OF water now, Alex.
andria may have trouble unless good
rains come soon. The Potomac river
is brackish almost to this city, and, as
has heretofore been stated, croakers
and other salt water fish are being
caught here with q hook and line. The
long continued drought is seriously at
fecting the springs and wells In this
neighborhood and many of the farmers

Fellows Hall OF south Columbus street.
where the parade will be disbanded.
The military will then be entertained
by an old Virginia dinner at 5 o'clock,

STRUCK A WoMAN.-Mrs. Blanche
Green last night swore out q warrant
for the arrest of George Chichester,
charging him with using unseemly Ian
guage toward her and for assault. The
evidence showed that the complainant's
husband and Chichester had been
drinking together during the day and
that the accused had gone to Green's
house, cursed his wife and struck her.
Chichester denied the charge, but the
woman was positive in her testimony
He was fined s. and made to pay the

THE committee on streets to-day met
at the City Engineers Office several OF
the officials of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company and discussed the ques-
ton of repairs to be made to Fayette
street. The railroad men submitted
plans of the way they would like to use
Fayette street and said they would
fence in the double tracks if allowed to
lay them them from Duke to Oronoco
street. The committee wanted to know
what the company would do about paw
ing and curling the street and when a
new depot building would be erected.
The officers could not answer these
questions, but said they would address
an official communication to Council
concerning the use Of Fayette street.

The COLUMBIA CoMPANY.-Not-
withstanding the denial by some of the
report that disarmament of the Co.
lumbia Fire Company is contemplated,
other members are positive in their as
sertions that such q movement is on
foot. There seems to be dissatisfaction
with the authorities, it being alleged
that the wants of the company are not
supplied. 1t is not thought, however,
that disintegration of the company
will necessarily follow, but that the
withdrawal of number of the active
members is probable.
