Black Peach ADhiS.

One Of our readers has asked us in re-
gard to a new trouble with peach trees
known as black aphis This is not new
trouble as there IS doubtless no orchard
free from it in any sandy or loamy soil in
the state. When you see your trees have
small red spots on the leaf and a slow
growing sickly appearance, dig down to
the roots branching from the crown of
the tree and see if you find small black
insect about p as large as common red
ant. Their work is marked by small brown
scaly spots on the bark of the roots and
a center red spot where the insect has
tapped the root for sap. This is not a
fast spreading disease or hard to hold in
check, bat let to run will render an orch
ard Improbable if not dead entirely.
A pound or so of tobacco dust buried
around the collar of the tree will do the
work, or if immediate results are needed
pour good pailful of strong tobacco
water around the tree. There need be no
alarm about this insect, which has been
with US for years and doubtless been
taken for yellows hundreds of times. The
real cause being below ground, is usually
passed unnoticed and laid to yellows or
lack of fertility or some unknown cause.
The insects once killed the tree is as
healthy as ever

A PINCH OF SALT.

little OF il is necessary. and the absence
Of IL takes away from the navor of ev-
erything we eat The "salt OF life"
which we hear about signifies the
health. vigor and wit which we find In
life. There was time In countries far
from the sea when primitive man new
er used salt in his food, and il was
only when nations advanced i'm civili-
Zation that salt became an absolute ne
cessity.
But it was not alone as food that salt
was valued. Among the ancients a salt
spring was regarded as a gift of the
gods. and It was believed that any salt
found i'm the soil lent it peculiar sane
tity and made it place where prayers
were most readily heard. Every meal
that included salt had certain sacred
character. creating a bond of piety and
friendship between host and guest;
hence the expression, There is salt
between US" meaning friendship, and
10 be untrue to salt means to be dis
loyal or ungrateful.
In the middle ages, when all classes
end degrees sat at the same board,
they were placed according to rank,
above or below the great saltcellar,
which always stood i'm the middle and
marked the dividing social line. "Above
the salt meant "Of high degree" Be
low the salt were the yeomanry, serfs
and vassals of the feudal days. \ good
description Of this custom may be
found in "Ivanhoe" where Cedric, the
Saxon. entertains his vassals and
friends.
A pinch Of salt is always considered
lucky in cooking To take anything
with n pinch Of salt means TO excuse
or make allowances for it. a salt is
a sailor To salt ones conversation
means TO make it sparkle. Salt is al
ways employed in a sense OF benefit or
strength
The Bible has many references TO
salt, among them being "Ye are the
salt Of the EARTH" Matthew V, Is, and
st. Paul says. Let your speech be al
ways with grace seasoned with salt"
Salt is used by Catholics in baptism
They consider it a symbol of wisdom
and put n few grains in the mouth Of
the person baptized.

Might Air.

One Of the bugbears of old time peo-
pie is night air. and there is little ex-
aggeration in saying that the superst-
ton against night air has killed more
people than the free circulation Of ii
has ever injured. There is abundance
of proof that night air is injurious TO
no one. On the contrary, people who
sleep outdoors under the mere protec-
ton of a tent are the healthiest Of all
people. and the practice has largely
gained in popularity of late years un-
der wider knowledge of hygiene for
people in delicate health to go in
camping parties and breathe the bal
sam Of the night air. The vigor gained
from few weeks of such an outing is
marked proof that the old prejudice
against night air is as foolish as most
other old wives whims.-EXchange

Talent and Vacation.

Each man has his own vocation. The
talent is the call. There is one direc-
ton in which all space is open to him.
He has faculties silently inviting him
thither to endless eXertiOn. He is like
a ship in river. He runs against OBJ
structions on every side but one. ON
that side all obstruction is taken away,
and he sweeps serenely over Gods
depths into an infinite sea. This tai
ent and this call depend on his organ
ization or the mode in which the gen
eral soul incarnates itself in him.-Em-

ed
Brown or black root aphides are very
common i'm the sandy lands of New
Jersey and Delaware, and also occur in
other parts of the eastern states. The
insect sometimes appears on parts above
ground, but the chief injury is done
while it is out of sight. As before stated,
care should be taken that this insect is
not introduced into the orchard on the
roots of the trees when they are planted,
and if there is any reason for thinking
that the roots are infested, the trees
should either be discarded or else dipped
into some insecticide before planting.
The underground depredations of this
insect stunt the tree SO that it dies or
makes very little growth for several
years. Stunted trees may, however, be
started into more vigorous growth by
heavy applications of tobacco dust dug
into the earth, and they may sometimes
be brought'out and induced to make

The curculio is always present. and no
safe remedy is known. 1t can be depend
ed on to take a considerable part of the
crop each year, and in years when the
yield is scanty it is sometimes content
with nothing short of the whole crop.
This is especially apt to be the case when
spring frosts have unduly thinned the
crop or have restricted it to particular
orchards. Arsencal sprays will hold the
curculio in check, but are scarcely to be
recommended for the peach, since they
are very apt TO cause its leaves and fruit
to fall and may even kill small branches
If used at all the greatest care should be
exercised. In some cases it might pay
to capture and destroy the beetles by
Earring them onto a framework covered
with sheets.
Scale insects have thus far done but
little injury to peach trees in the eastern
States but the enemy is present, and
one species in particular, recently intro
duced from the West Indies Ia white
scale entirely covering trunk and limbs
and quickly killing the tree, is already
as far north as Washington, ID. c., and
is likely to be very troublesome when
more generally distributed. Growers
should be on the lookout for this pest
and burn infested trees at sight.
