The frauds practice I upon farmers
,y '"unprincipled nurserymen are well
pointed out in the following Irom the
Western Farmer : "There i no great
er humbug practised upon the credu
lity of the people than the offering of
new fruits bv tree agents and nursery
men, as the'Ust thing that was ever
discovered or planted. Nineteen out
of every twenty of all these new fruits
are entirely worthless. One nursery
man hi til apple that U superior to
all others, another a pear no one can
do without, free from blight and an
immense bearer, and the fruit of the
finest quality. Another has a currant,
n straw lierry, or a raspberry, all en
tirely indispensable to the unsuspecting
farmer. And still others have grapes
i . If
that rioen early, are very large, cien-
eiotn, and ju-t the thing to supp.y aw
others lor all purposes. One has a
cherry that will take the place of the
Karlv Hiehmond and the Knglih
;lorello. All these will do, according
to the opinions of the several owners
of the hu.nbug. in any and all climates
nud localities, like the patent medicines
that are warranted to cure any and all
diseases. One man, whose almost ex
clusive stock of evergreens is the Ku-
. . . . iii
ropoan larch, recommends its planting j
without limit. Another has supplied j -himself
abundantly with the L tali j " .2
hvldid Hifrry, which U really not a p.
cherry at all, but a very interior email
pltnn. and that is the cherry that ev
ery body must have. 0'ir common
wild plums are transplanted and nursed
Mild a large stock propogated some
significant name given them, and then
heralded to the world as indispensable,
high quality, lai'tre size, cureulio proof,
and indeed possessed with more good
qualities than any and all other plums
combined. Now the result of all this
is, the farmers pay out thousands ofj
dollars every year for stock that is not
only worthk ssF and known to be worth
less by tho venders, but important
time is lost in waiting for the results
that are so boastingly promised, arid
only, alter several years waiting, lo
find how thev have been swindled."
Smat.i. Animals Gnawing Trees.
Every winter the agricultural jour
nals contain inquiries as to a remedy
to prevent mice and rabbits gnawing
trees and we are nearly annually an
swering them. Our remedy, which
wp have tried with success, has proved
effectual in eveiy instance in which it
has been pronely applied. It is to
bandage the trees with an old cotton
or woolen clo'.h; or veiy stiff paper
will do for mice eight or ten inches
high will answer; for rabbits not less
than two feet. The latter standing
upright will reach uj very ne.ulv two
f-c t. and as far as they can reach they
will gnaw. The same cloth, if put
away, will last for several years. Of
course hand a sing must be well done
and tied to the tree secure! v.

garden; but.il in a starving condition,
a half dozen rabbits will destroy fifty
young trees in a single night. One

lo.mly as if done with pruning shears.

A PMALI PpPCfMEN OF IlfMANlTY.
Master Franky Flynn. of Norwich, N. Y. ,

ever known. He is four ami a half years
old, and is thus described h a correspond

Goon Sense S nnebody puts a cood deal
of good sense ami a eood many p's iu a very
small space, as follows :
Persons who pntrouizn papers phntiM pay
promptly, for the pecuniary prospect- or the
press have peeuliar power in po-hii'ir forwmd
eutilic pros'ioi-ity. If the printer is p.'d
promptly, and his pock -t hock kept plethoric
by prompt-pity inir putrons. he puts his pen 0
paper in pence; tie paints his pictures or pMb-Ing-
events in more plens nir i-o'ors, and the
pi ros il or his pnper Is of tn.r. blensure to his
people. Paste this piece of iirover ti'al i)tiino
