How to Save Girdled Trees ,
Since the winters of 1867 and 1868
there have been none more favorable fur
fieldmice than the one just ended. Over
a wide range of country the ground was
covered with a heavy body of snow in De
cember. This was added by frequent
storms, and it remained during the entire
season. In closely planted orchards, the
snow was piled in places several feet in
thickness for eight or nine weeks, and af
forded just the conditions most propitious
fur these active pests.
Under such circumstances it will be
strange if, on disappearance of nature's
blanket, thousands of fruit trees are not
found girdled, especially those standing in
or near grass land. Trees from which the
bark, has been gnawed all around and six
to twelve inches in width, are sure to die
within a year unless prompt measures are
taken to make connection between the
bark above and that below the wound.
The prescriptions which have been pub
lished from time to time are as numerous
as flies in midsummer, and most of them
as unsatisfactory. Where only a third or
a half of the circle has been made, leaving
a connecting strip, then, by covering the
bare part with a coating of cow droppings
and yellow clay, the young bark will grow
over the wound much sooner than if ex
posed. Where there is-no such connection,
however, the best and most simple method
of forming one—and the method that
never fails—is to insert scions (one, two,
or three, as the case may require), bridging
over the barked part. This method is
simple and rapid, and most any one can
do the job without difficulty. Take the
scion's of last year's growth of wood, from
young, healthy trees, cut them the right
length, bevel each on the side at both
ends. Then, with a budding knife, make
an incision on the bark of the tree above'
and below the injured part, and carefully
press the scion in place. Cover over
where the incision was made with grafting
wax, and then wind around the stem of
the tree, at both ends of the scions. some
narrow strips of bass matting, which will
keep them firmly in place. For trees
from which the bark has only been gnawed
half or two-thirds the way round, one or
two scions will be sufficient ; but when
there is no connection left, it will be
found advisable, particularly on a large
sized tree, to put in three scions.
Stirririg the Soil,
Stirring the soil during the growing
season cannot be done too often, provided
it is not wet enough to pack. As an anti
dote to droughts it is unrivalled. A man
who can stir the soil every day about his
plants and trees, can virtually defy a
drought. The operation seems to create
moisture, or at least to attract it, both from
the subsoil and atmosphere. The weeds of
course have no chance under such a sys.
tem, and the moisture they would require
and take goes to a purpose "where it will
do most good." Horse culture is the
cheapest mode, but in gardens too smalF
for horse culture, hand culture must be
depended on. The difference in effect be
tween frequent and occasional stirring will
astonish those who have net before observ
ed it. An instance was in print some time
ago which will illustrate it, though, as a
fact, it may be mythical. Two neighbors
with small patches of corn got up a friend
ly rivalry as to which should grow the
most per acre, and put up a small wager
One of them determining to leave nothing
undone in the way of culture and weed
fighting, hoed his patch once a week regu
larly. He was, after a little while, a good
deal surprised to notice that his corn was
falling behind, although he never saw his
neighbor at work. The latter now, and
naturally enough the former asked "how
he did it," volunteering the statement at
the same time that he "hoed his corn
every week until it had tasseled out." The
successful grower replied : "I hoed mine
every morning before you got out of doors !"
There was no further need of explanation.
The man who has plenty of muscle and
time, and little or no money to expend on
fertilizers, will find that frequent stirring
of the soil will go a long way to supply the
absence offertilizers. In fact, culture with
out manure is worth much more than ma
nure without culture. When both can
,be discreetly applied it is advisable, but
when a choice must be made. I shall
always choose culture. D. E. F. iyA New
York Observer.
Depth of Covering Seed.
.418 a general rule, the smaller the seed
the lighter should be the covering. We
are very apt to cover too deeply. Nature
here is safe to fellow. She covers lightly.
The seed falls from tke ripened stalk, upon
:the surface of the ground, to be covered
only with leaves, or to be washed into the
soil by the rains. Onions, squashes,
parsnips and lima beans, such plants, espe
cially, as push up the shells of the seed
itself, find it difficult to force their way up
through much depth of earth, after it
is packed down by rains. A quarter, or
half an inch at most. is quite sufficient for
these seed.
Care should be taken that no lumps of
earth be left over them. We like long
rows of beets, carrots, parsnips, ete., and
don't believe iu wasting half the land in
useless paths and walks with short rows
running crosswise. Long rows are more
easily worked and kept clean than short
ones. and the labor for the same number
of plants in long rows is less than in short
ones. We should study economy both on
the farm and in the garden. On the field
;the too frequent turnings eousume much
time in ploughing, and to some extent
this is so in the garden.—.Masx. Plough

Dr. Wengert's Family Medicines

American public for the speedy and certain cure
of the diseases for which they are recommended.
Invalids, try them, and be convinced of the truth
of what we assert. It is but ten montheaince they
were first offered to the public, and to-day they
are sold by first-class Druggists and Merchants in
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Now Jersey, New York,
the Virginias, Ohio, Indiana, and the District of
Columbia. Surely they are not humbugs or they
would'nt be so highly commended by the intelli

land. They are classified so as to meet the most
difficult diseases for which they are offered, not
one medicine for all the diseases humanity is
heir to.
The Magic Balm

cording to directions. For all diseases arising
