English Fruit.

Mr.. George Monro. a fruit dealer in
Covent Garden market, London, writes
in reference TO a statement that
the bulk of the fruit sold in Eng
land is foreign-grown. 70 say that,
while this is quite true as applied to APP
pies and oranges, there never were so
few foreign grapes sold in the English
markets. A4meria grapes used to be the
staple article for Christmas trade. but
English growers now furnish a better
article in such quantities as TO make
of the best class quite in
dependent of foreigners. Mr.. Monro
adds that in four days preceding Christ
mas he sold 1000 baskets of English
grapes. weighing 221a tons, and he adds
that English growers are now turning
the tables on foreigners by sending
regularly to America, and almost daily
to the continent, consignments of Gu
cumbers and grapes Gardeners

Wonders About skin Pores.

Each square inch of the human skin
contains 10 less than $500 sweating
tubes or pcrspiration pores. Each OF
these tubes, although wonderfully
minute, is about ~one-fourth of an inch
in length. Each of these sweat tubes
NAV be likened to Il tiny drain tile. We
find mat the average adult has dbout2 p
coo square inches of skin on the surface
of his body. Each square inch of this
outer cuticle is, as we have said, literal
l. permeated with its $500 quarter
inch p~erspiration bitches. If We could
put each of these little tubes end to end
we would find hat they would extend a
distance of not less than 201,166 feet!
Had you ever before stopped to consider
the fact that the aggregate length of
the tile bitches for draining the human
body is almost 40 miles?-N. y. World.

ORCHARD N GARDEN.

Long stable mature makes a good
E:ulch for the strawberry bed. but the
cbIction is that Il contains too many
weed seeds.
1t is claimed that a liberal dressing of
salt under ounce trees as far out as
the roots extend will help to induce
bearing.
Moss-covered trees will be benefited by
a whitewashing of lime and wood ashes
in equa! parts, wet up to a proper con-
sistency with water.
The greatest enemy of house plants is
dust. Much of this may be avoided by
covering before commencing to sweep.
Wash the leaves occasionally.
If proper work in pruning is done at
tie time of planting the tree and for
tie next four or five years little time or
labor will be needed afterwards.
In raising trees or plants from cut
iings the important point is to have the
callus formed as soon as possible, SO
that the emission of roots WILL be a
little ahead of the unfolding of the
leaves.-St. Louis Republic.

BORDEAUX MIXTURE.
tn the Spraying of Pears of All Kinda
and Apples 1t Has Proved
Quite Effective.

At Green's fruit farm we have found
oy the present years experience THAI
pears are greatly benefited by spraying
with Bordeaux mixture. The spray
should be applied three times. The
first time at once after the trees have
biossomed and the next ting a few
weeks thereafter. The Seckel pear is
particularly inclined to be imperfect
unless sprayed, but where sprayed the
s ezekiel was smooth and beautiful. The
blemishes on other varieties Of pears
can be largely removed by spraying
and the quality of the fruit is greatly
Increased. In apple orchards buyers do
not care to 20 far to see orcnaIds that
have o been sprayed, knowing that
the fruit of such orchards cannot be
first-class. One spraying is not enough
for apple orchards, since frequent
showers are liable to occur at the sea-
sor of the year when spraying is done,
which is at the close of b~lossoming. We
have also sprayed u peach trees with
partial success, but the spraying not
entirely preventing the peach leaf curl.
There is no question whatever that the
orchardist must have Il spraying equip
ment in order to market the finest speci.

TRANSFORMING TREES.
Description of n Rack and Boat Eh.
peciaily Designed for This
Operation.

1t is very often desirable to trans
plant trees which have already at
tanned a considerable size, but il is
not safe 20 90 this either in the fall or
spring. for before the roots establish
themselves to the new conditions OF
things the tops become lifeless. AS a
consequence very few large trees are
transplanted. If the tree could be re-
moved from one place + another with
out disturbing many of its roots, by
pruning the tops, the operation would
be attended with less difficulty.
A very successful way is suggested
by the illustration portrayed herewith.
This operation is performed in winter
while the ground is frozen. Consider

able of the earth is removed from

being taken not 10 disturb the roots
any more than absolutely necessary.
The amount of earth left will depend
upon the size Of the trees. This is to
remain until the ball of earth is frozen
hard enough to stand moving. Then
the apparatus is applied as suggested,
and the tree well protected after it
reaches its new home. The latter place
of reception is of course to be prepared
before the ground freezes. The tree is
