The Disease of Trees- It is with not a little surprise that we look upon the number of letters inquiring about diseased trees, that have accumulated upon our hands.— It is the opprobium of scientific hor ticulture that so little has been done to investigate the subject of plant disease. We have read about all that has been written on the subject, have talked with the most experien ce 1 pomologists East and West, and find that there is really little postive information extant. All admit the existence of certain maladies, and at tempts have been made to enumerate them. A recent work on horticulture gives us Latin names for these tree troubles ; though it may gratify the inquiring mind to know that freezing is coXGELATio,and that decay is CARIES —we are unable to see that it adds much to onr knowledge. Among the causes assigned fur the unhealthy condition of our trees, some are sen sible and others absurd. It is a very common thing for the would be sci entific, to attribute phenomena they cannot explain to electricity—and this agent has been the refuge of several of those who have written upon the disease of plants. We have one let ter before us from a photographer— who, taking a photographic view of the subject, is quite sure that the pear blight is due to the effect of the sudden light of flashes of lightning in a dark night—though he fails to tell us why this affects one tree, and leaves another of the same variety, next to it, untouched. In discussing this subje :t, we must recollect that all fruit trees are, in a measure, un healthy ; that the larger and finer our apples and pears, the more they have departed from the natural con dition. This being the case, we ought not to look for perfect health in every cultivated variety. As to our ability to cure diseased trees by any medication, we doubt if it will ever be attained. To many who write us with the view that we can pre scribe something to cure their trees, we must confess our inability to do so. If good feeding will not help them, together with drainage we fear that the case is hopeless. Want of vigor or health is often due to a lack of alkaline matter in the soil,and ben efit is often experienced from a free use of lime or ashes—but this is fer tilization and not medication. Some of the most serious troubles, such as bark bursting and cracking, are doe to changes of temperature bey ad our control. The selection of varie ties that mature their wood early,and the use of low headed trees rather than those with long and naked stems, are the best preventatives against these troubles. As to the leaf blight, that as yet remains a mystery. Un til its real nature is understood, we must act empirically,and cut severe whenever it appears even if it < takes the tree down to the ground.— Our pomological societies have, as a general thing given too much atten tion to the quality of the fruit, to the neglect of the character of the tree. Of the late years there has been an improvement in this respect. We have good fruits enough, now let us go iu for healthy trees.— American Agriculturist. Horse Breaking and Horse-Sense A horse's sense is good common sense. Many a man does not know half so much about some things as a horse. The horse is not naturally suspicious, but he is timid when young. He learns very soon what his weapons are—teeth and heels— and in what his security lies—flight. His boldness and "the glory of his nostrils" come when "he rejoiceth in his strength." With his age comes the knowledge of his powers, and if he has never been mastered—never been made to yield to any will but his own—if he is to be made useful, the struggle must come sooner or la ter, and man's-will or horse-will must triumph. We think it is best to be gin quite young with colts to control them. Some advise to halter a colt while it runs with the mare, and to do it after feeding it carrots and su gar, until it thinks it will get only carrsssing from mankind, and has no fear of any man. The colt submits easily, because it is the easiest and pleasantest thing he can do, provi ded he is not frightened, and would as lief be led as to run looee if the curtailment of his freedom is made up by sweets or carrots. The sense of smell in horses is very acute, and if they are suspicious of anything, they always approach it cautiously and smell of it. They shouid be in dulged in this, and harness, saddle, etc., should all be investigated by the nose as well as by the eye, before a more intimate acquaintance is forced upon the horse. A horse ring of 40 to 50 feet in diameter is one of the greatest aids a horse trainer can have. In this a horse too restive and spirit ed to take a lesson may be tired out, so as to be very docile, and a tired horse is much more susceptible to both favors and instruction, than one full of vim, and fire and play. There are a few very simple common sense rules which, if followed, will com mend themselves to the horse as well as to the trainer, viz.: Ist.—Always feel kindly to a horse, no matter what he does to you, and consequently never show "temper." Remember the horse knows instinct ively how you feel. 2d.—Never go near a horse if you are afraid of him, the horse will know it and take advantage of it, before you acknowledge it yourself. 3d.—Never undertake anything with a horse that you do not know you can carry out. 4th.—"Make haste slowly ," teaching the animal what you want of him, as a child learns its A-B ()-s, one letter at a time, being sure that he knows each simple thing before you attempt to teach another ; and repeat lessons often. bth.— Be sure that it is your will and not his that conquers every time, j Following these rules, you may make a horse do almost anything, if he has not been spoiled before you get him— American AgrirvUvri.fi. Drainage. We have often urged this touch needed improvement upon the tead ers of the Ploughman, but we bar its advantages are Vet little appr< ciated. There are but few localities where drainage would not be be-in J> cial. Even in soils with an ope/. subsoil, where deep drainage certain ly is not required, some shallow drains may be useful to carry off or to husband surplus water. Many a farm house is so located that a good deal of drainage is required to se cure perfect health. Except in cases ? of diseased lungs, a dry atmosphere is more healthful than one loaded with moisture, and the air that passes over stagn nt mois ture will not long remain pure and healthy. So that in a sanitary point of view drainage often becomes of vast importance. The Metropolitan Sanitary Com mission of London states some inter esting facts about drainage. For every inch depth of water drained off, and which would otherwise pass in to t e air as vapor, they say as much heat is saved per acre as would raise eleven thousand cubic feet of air one degree in temperature. A recent Parlimentary report on the subject says, a farmer w-as asked the effect of 6ome new draining, when he re plied, "All that I know is that before it was done I couid never get out at night without an overcoat, but now I never put one on to me." A doctor took one of the Sanitary Commiss ioners to a hill overlooking his dis trict, "There," said he, "wherever you see those patches of white mist I have frequent illness, and if there is a cess-pool or other nuisance as well, I can recon on typhus every now and then. Outside these mists lam rare ly wanted." It may not be generally known that dampness in the atmosphere gives double energy to bad odors of any kind. If everybody could live on a hill side, with a good gravel subsoil, we should find the average health of the community vastly im proved. Much may be done by thor ough drainage, not only to improve the sanitary condition of the locality, warm up and improve the soil. Try it.— Massachusetts Ploughman. SWELLED JAW AND NASAL DISCHARGE. —A three year old colt which I had raised was taken in February last with swelling between the angles of the jaw, which, in a few days, broke in two or three places, one of them over the turn of the jaw-oone outside, discharged freely for several days, when it healed, but left small kernels where the openings were. The nas al passages were but little affected. About the last of August it commen cedswelling again,but hasnot broke ; seems to be swelled worse at times than at others ; discharges consid erably from lett nostril. This colt had what we call horse distemper two years ago this winter, but got over it and seemed perfectly free from it for over ten months. I have another colt which has been in the stable and pasture with this one for the last year and is without blemish. —S. K. Apply a bran poultice to the swel lings for a couple of days, when they will either disappear or suppurate. — Give two tablespoonfuls daily of the following :—Carbonate of iron, two ounces ; powdered gentian, two oun ces, powdered liquorice root, two ounces.— Rural American. BED YOUR STABLES. —A horse, re marks the Rural World., will get tired of standing and treading on a hard floor ; so will a cow, a sheep, a man. A soft bed feels easy—give rest.— And yot we neglect the bedding of our stables to a great extent. Injur ed limbs and other ailmeLts, espe cially of the hoot, are the result often of a neglect here, as has been clearly enough shown, and as any man can clearly enough see, if he gives the subject a moment's thought. Bed with straw, which is plenty, or saw dust, or tan-bark or shavings. The dryer these materials are the better. Every day remove the moistened bed ding and replace with new. Such a floor, well bedded, adds greatly to the warmth of a stable, and thus be comes a fodder saver. The Rmall holes and crevices in a floor with a good bedding upon them,'< will let lit tie or no cold through, and will drain the stable. Rather have a ground floor than hard naked plank. APPLES AS FOOD. —The importance lof apples as food has not hitherto been sufficiently estimated or under stood. Besides contributing a large proportion! of sugar, mucilage and other nutritive compounds in the form of food, they contain Buch a fine com bination of vegetable acids, extract ed substances and aromatic princi ples, with the nutritive matter, as to act powerfully in the capacity of re frigerants, tonics and antiseptics,and when freely used, at the Beason of ripeness, by rural laborers and oth ers, they prevent debility, strength en digestion, correct the putrefactive tendencies of nitrogeneons food,avert scurvy and probably maintain and strengthen the power of productive labor.— Liebig. TIME TO CUT BRUSHES.—A correspon dent of the N. 11. Farmer says : Re peated trials on as many different pieces of land and each trial a com plete success, has| convinced us that December, the time we invariably do this, is the best season,at which time the growth of the year is evidently at an end. A piece of valuable pasture land of ours, overrun with bushes, which had been many times cut over by a former owner to no purpose, be cause cut in the summer season, was by us cut over in December, 1861, and to this time, a period of nearly five years, not a bush has sprouted or started, and the land, though moist, is well stocked down to grass. I®* The Country Gentltmari warus farmers against entertaining the idea that by keeping a great many fowls iu wiuterr,and not keeping them well, they are doing profitably and econo mically. "Twenty hens," it says, "well cared for, will produce twice as many eggs as any farmers family of six persons will use, and raise two hundred, or if desired, five hundred chickens ; but one hundred will not do it, if forced to roost in winter in trees, deprived of dusting wallows, j water, and sunny fare ground expos ures.
