When young fruit or shade tree
stops growing and looks as though it
was about to give up its struggle for
existence, the trouble may be traced
to its being bark bound. In this case
long perpendicular slit in the bark
enables it TO resume its natural growth.
If caterpillers or worms are at the
root of the trouble. small hole bored
in the trunk, filled with powdered sui
pher and then plugged up will be
found effcacious.

The Pennsylvania railroad company
is arranging to spend 800. 900, 600
during the next three years in making
Improvements along its lines. This
great corporation, one of the best
managed in the country, has its own
mills for the manufacture of steel
rails, and is therefore not at the mer-
cy of the steel trust. 1t owns and op-
crates thousands of miles of railway,
and its receipts far exceed the re-
ceipts and expenditures of the United
States government in the year 1860.
