A WASH FOR FRUIT TREES.
It Is Quite Simple Mixture, But
Very Satisfactory Results Have
Come from It's Use.

The loss OF 400 cherry trees In one year
by disease or insects by Minnesota
fruit grower reminds me of how used to
treat other trees. In the summer Of 1885
l spent three months in Florida treating
similar diseases that troubled and killed
orange and lemon trees. put one peck
unslaked lime into a 50-gallon barrel. l
then put In four pounds sulphur and
slaked with warm water. l then added
two ounces crude carbolic acid, stirred
rapidly till well mixed, then added
enough water to make the quantity rs
gallons. I kept 1t covered while being
mixed, being careful not to breathe the
fumes.
applied while very hot with a long
handled broom to the trunks and large
limbs, and with spray pump to the tops.
l have taken orange trees with sickly
yellow leaf and with one thorough ap-
green foliage and start new growth in
less than four days. The white coating
on the foliage. when applied to northern
trees, should be washed of in few
hours II the weather is dry, and should
be washed of the trunks in few days.
BY so doing the fertilizing material will
then go to the ground and will all be In
available form for food for the trees, a
food that the trees need at the time.
which fact the diseased condition plain
ly indicates.
Here, early in June, with such mate
rial, l have produced in apple trees a
vigorous, healthy growth. In week no
sign of disease or insect could be seen.
In Tennessee applied 1t one year about
July Is to large pear tree that had
blighted. 1t stopped the blight and
caused the tree to make a new growth Of
~ to feet of well ripened wood. 1t
seems to me that when tree blights or
is injured by other diseases 1t is because
certain kinds of food are lacking In the
soil or else the tree cannot assimilate thA
plant food within Its reach. Where only
fertilizer is needed would not use
the carbolic acid. think 1t necessary to
apply this wash to the trunks and larger
limbs as hot as can be borne by the fin
ger. The moist heat undoubtedly causes
the bark to receive and assimilate more
food than If applied cold, thus indicating
quite distinctly the benefit of the meth
cd here outlined.-O. F. Brand, in
Orange Judd Farmer.

In Society,".

A woman in society is obliged to keep
late hours. She must attend receptions
and balls. She seldom allows herself
quiet evening at home. Her. whole time
is taken up in keeping engagements or
entertaining in her own home.
Her system becomes completely run
down as consequence. She soon finds
herself in condition known as sys-
temic catarrh. This has also been called
catarrhal nervousness.
II every society woman could know
the value of Peruna at such time, II
they could realize the invigorating
strengthening effect that Peruna would
have, how much misery could be
avoided.
Letters from society women all over
the United States testify to the fact that
Peruna is the tonic for run down,
depleted nervous system.

PARTIALLY DRIED PASTURE.
Valuable Sheep Feeding Test Conduct
ed at the South Dakota Ex-
pertinent Station.

At the South Dakota station, In or
der 10 learn something of the posi-
bility of utilizing partially dried pas
turage, with and without grains, in
the fattening of lambs for the early
winter market, six lots of ten common
grade ewes, from one to six years old
and weighing about l20 pounds each,
were pastured from September 6 to
November 2, each lot having the run
of two acres of native prairie grass
which had not that season been pas
tured or cut for hay.
All the lots except ONE were fed on
grain, the sheep on corn and on oats
each making an average daily gain of
"A pound per head. those on bread
wheat OBI pound, on spelt 0.29 pound,
and or barley OBS pound. The grain
eaten per pound of gain ranged from
3.9 pounds with the corn-fad lot to ~
pounds with the sheep On spelt, and
the cost of a pound of gain from three
cents on oats to 5.3 cents on bread
wheat. with the sheep fed with mo-
grain there was q total loss of 81
pounds. During the last two weeks Of
the trial 1t was noted that the losses
were about twice as great rs during
the preceding two weeks, and that the
gains made by the other lot were cor
pespondingly lower during the same
period. This was accounted for in part
by the fact that the grass had been
considerably injured by frost-Prof. J..

Hartford Mills, N. Y, May l6.-This

by some wonderful cures by Dodd's Kid
ney Pills. These began with the case
of Mrs. j. ID. Wallace, who had been
in very poor health for long time and
couldn't walk from her home to the viii
lage and back, distance of about eighty
rods, without being tired out and in pain
all over.
She had only used few of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills, when she noticed change for
the better and in a very short time she
was able to walk any reasonable distance
and do any kind of woman's work with
out feeling any bad effects.
She has gained twenty pounds in weight
in three months and is now as well a
woman as could be found. She declares
the Dodd's Kidney Pills deserve all the
credit for her wonderful restoration.
