Moss on Fruit Trees.
.T. II. Hale, of Connecticut, an ex
perienced and successful on hardist,
writes to tho mirican Aori ulturitt:
".Moss U found most often on pear trees
not in a vigorous growing condition or
in moist, shady places. Tiio moss is a
tort of fungus growth, which is easily
kept off by washing the trees with
trcng soap suds. This treatment pro
motes the growth of a smooth and
healthy bark. If the trees are badly
mossed over now it will be the best to
take an old hoe and scrape off tho thick
est of the moss before washing the trees,
and then wash them two or threo times
during the next two months. In the
fall, alter the loaves are off, spray the
wholo tree with soap-suds, repeating
this early in the spring. There is noth
ing like it to promote clean and thrifty
looking bark. At Kim fruit farm we
make a borer wash for our peach and
and other tree?, and it also answers the.
double purpose of keeping out the borcrj
and keeping the bark clean and healthy.'
This wash is prepared by adding to a'
common bucketful of water two iiarts!
of strong soft soap, half a pint of crudo
carbolic acid, two ounces of paris green,
with lime enough to make a thin paste
that will adhere to the tree. If con
venient a little clay or fresh cow dung
may bo added to assist in making the
wash stick. Apply it with a swab or
brush about tho base of the tree and
main branches. The rains will wash it
down Irom time to time, and the whole
trunk will receive the benefit. In spray
ing the trees when not in leaf I usually
add a quarter of a pound or more of
potash to each bucketful of soap suds,
so as to make quite a strong lye. These
washes cost but little nncT are of great
value in the orchard."
Cabbage and Potato Culture.
Tlanting two beds of radishes not ex
ceeding a square rod in extent near half
an acre of cabbape is suggestive of a pos
sibility, says Oalen 'Wilson in the 'ew
York Tribune, There are every dav and
every hour more cabbage butterflies oa
the radishes than on all tho cabbage.
Cabbage worms trouble very little and
their ravages are not feared much, for a
teaspoonful of ashes to a plant soon!
"coopers" them. The radibh beds, how
ever, were alive with worms until a flock
of house sparrows made tho discovery
that those beds -were a good foraging
Ground, and now there are not worms
enough left to "put into tea." It has
been observed that cabbage fleas and
other parasites trouble Winuigstadt cab
bages less than other varieties, because'
the foliage possesses tougher epidermis;
in fact, this kind escapes almost entirely
while other sorts in tho same field are
damaged considerably by the flea.
The best looking t'eld of potatoes I
have seen in years was planted on old
sod ground plowed last fall and again at
plauting time, when the seed was dropped
into every third furrow and plowed
under. A small portion of the field was
not plowed the second time, but furrows
were opened and then turned back on tho
seed. On this portion the growth of
stalks is only about half tho other; they
ire being cultivated and worked thor
oughly; the old sod is pulverized, but
they are not doing well. This shows that
for potatoes all the surface soil should be
in 'good tilth beforo planting. If my
theory be correct, that a heavy rain oc
curring when potato stalks are six inches
high a-sures n good yield, other things
being right, there will be a bountiful har
vest this year, for it has rained nearly
every week since planting.
Experiments In Feeding: Lambs.
The result of experiments made at
different times aud places in feeding
pigs has demonstrated that when fed to
these animals nitrogenous food produces
a much greater per cent, of muscle, and
non-nitrogenous a greater per cent, of
fat. To ascertain if lambs would be af
fected in the same way, an experiment
was undertaken during the winter of
1887-8 at the agricultural experiment
station of Cornell University, Iihaca,
N. V. Six lambs six months old were
chosen with careful referenco to unifor.
mity in size, weight, shape, and of the
lame blood. On the l(Jth of Octobei
they were shorn and placed in a box
stall together and fed alike till Novem
ber 11 to prepare them for the exneri.
ments.
I n November 11 they were divided
Into two lots of three each, the total
weight of each lot being as nearly equal
as possible. At the beginning of thfl
experiment lot! No. 1 wus fed daily on
and a half pounds of oilineiil and ou
and a half pounds of coarse wheat bran.
I ater on one pound of cotton seed meal
was substituted for one of bran. Lwt -J
was fed three pounds of corumcal daily.
Hoth lots were fed as much tiniothv and
clover hay as they would eat up clean.
All ate their rations with avidity up to
the last of December, when that of lot 2
had to be reduced for a short time to two
pounds, and it was not until .March
1, when four pounds of mangolds were
added to tho rations of both lots, that
they cou'd be induced to eat their full
rat on of cornine&l.
The experiment lasted ICG days. The
difference in tlie amount of water drank
was very marked. Lot 1 drjuk Ul
pounds iu U days; lot 2, 21 J pounds.
All were slaughtered April 2i?. The live
weight of lot 1 was ;1 pounds greater
than that of bit 2. In proportion to live
weight, the dressed weight of lot No. 1
was per cent, greater thuu lot 2 The
wool of lot 1 was 20 per cent, greater
than the wool of lot No . The bones
of the bind legs of lot 1 were 24 per
cent, stronger than those of lot 2.
It is thus teeu that the valuable parts
are larger iu the lot fed on uitrogeuous
food. The experiment is only oue cf
series to be et tried; but from its le
sult the fact n;ay be dtdiued t'uut the
effect of feeding au uudue proportion of
non-nitrogenous food to sheep is to do
diease the product of wool by one
quarter, the strength of the bones by
oua-third, and to induce the proportion
of both fat aud U au meat. At no one of
these is desirable in sheep husbandry, we
may conclude that corn ulone is not thu
boat food for bheep. In this experiment
tht-ie is no evidence that tho ration rich
in nitrogen caused any marked i urn-ami
of lean meat iu lot 1 o er that iu lot 2.

' Celery plants may bo set to advantage
in the autumn. The ground should bo
well prepared, bo mollow, and previous
ly well fertilized. The plants should be
set in trenches, at least eight inches
apart, and as they grow they should be
frequently hoed clear of weeds and the
soil kept banked up closely around them,
leaving only their tops exposed. Even
the white plume and polden dwarf are
better when frequently banked up and

Making Hut tor.
Professor Arnold claims that tho old
idea that the souring of cream develops
butter flavor is a m staken one, and said
that souring has no intlucnce upon flavor
nt all unlil it is strong enough to com
mence injuring it. Rut tor flavor is
increased while the cream is ripening,
but it is effected by the action of tho air
upon the fat in the cream, and not at all
by fermentation.
Tho most advanced butter makers
maintain the perfect exclusion of
the low cooled milk and cream from
the air. Whenever warm air or air com
paratively warm comes in contact with
colder milk or cream or water, or anv
iother liquid, the warm air, touching tho
cooiea in.uia, is condensed and deposits
inoisture in the form of dew on the co'.d
jliquid. With tho dew thus deposited
go an me impurities tlie air may con
tain. In the case of milk and cream
thtsc deposits impair in a marked decree '
the flavor and keeping quality of the I
butter made from them. It is not es-
sential that air should be excluded from ,or s,Dh8. wa,1 basins, etc., mix a w.ne
milk until its temperature falls to the ! Bla-8iul w'tb- lf P nt of warm water.
temperature
of the surrounding air. but
when it drops to that point exclusion
from the air is important.
Churning, according to this class of
dairymen, ought to be done nt the first
appearance of acidity. They say: "Do
not wait until the cream ircts intensely
sour and stale. In churning tho butter
thould be granulated in the churn, instead
of being gathered into a lump. It
should be cleansed of buttermilk by
wnshing, and not by working. After
lightly salting it must be worked into a
solid condition with the slightest woik
ing that will effect that end. Ai Yuri

Apple Worm or Codling Moth.
There is now known but one generally
successful practical means of preventing
the injuries of tho codling moth, and
that is spraying with aisenitcs. The es
sential point in this method of treatment
is to have a small quantity of poison
lodge in the depression in the blossom
end of tho apple beforo it turns down on
its stem, thu supposition being that
when the newly-hatched catei pillar
gnaws the skin preparatory to entering
the fruit, it will eat sufficient poison to
be killed. This end isjbcst accomplished
by applying the poisouTn a water spray
by means of a force pump and spray noz
zle, throwing tho liquid above tho tree so
that it will settle in a tine mist. This
should be done just after the blcssoms
have fallen, when the apples are about
as large as peas. I believe that generally
speaking one application will answer
the purpose very well, unless there is n
washing rain soon afterwards, in which
case the application should be repeated.
I prefer London purple to Paris green,
as it is cheaper, less lirible to
scorch tho trees, more easily seen
and in finer powder, and hence is more
readily kept in suspension. A safe and
effective proportion is three-fourths of a
pound to eighty or one hundred callons
of water. Paris green may safely be
used in the proportion of one pound to
one hundred trillions of water. The
poison should be formed into a l asto
with a little water, beforo stirring into a
large receptacle. Of course it must be
remembered that these substances are
depdly poisons, and all reasonable care
should be takcu that no accidents occur
through their use. Protect the hands of
the operator with close-h'tting gloves,
and apply the spray so that it will not
be breathed by men or horses. Keep
stock out of the orchard for some time
after the application is made, aud do not
spill the poison iu quantity ou the
ground where it will be accessible to an
imals of any kind. Always keep the
fioison itself in tight vessels, plainly la
ided "poison. "aud out of the reach ot
children. No danger need be feared from
eating mature apples that were poisoned
when the size of peas, for chemical
analysis has shown that the extremely
small amount of poison that lodnes on
the fruit is dissipated long before it ma
tures. ym York 0'ercer.

Tnklntf a Census llelwcen Two Sung.
A Into census of the population of St.
Petersburg, Russia, was taken during
the night. It is stated that the popula
tion amounts to M.'I.KPd persons, of
whom 1 10,003 were in the suburbs. 'I he
lost census was in Docember, 1HHI, and
tho population was then ll'Jl'.OKt, so that
it hss diminished during tho last six
and a half years. There aro reasons,
howevor, for supposing that both state
ments aro incorrect. The functionaries
employed proved unequal to their task,
and many of tho inhabitants did theit
best to mislead them, being convinced
that the consul was only a sort of prep
aration for new tacs. Many hundred
families passed the entire night out ol
doors, and so were not numbered. It
has been decided that a new census is to
bo taken in December. J.oikioi AVim.
A Soap Mine.
There has been a soap mine discovered
near Crawfordvillo, Oa. The Jlmo.-ral
says thnt "Taliaferro is doomed to bs
one of tho most wonderful counties in
Ceorgia, or all tho South. Mr. I). A.
Saggus gave us a sample of tho natural
soap from a hill on Dr. .?. .1. Ken's place,
no ir town. We took the article, nnd,
to tost it, washod our face nnd bandi
with it, and iteutthe dirt from, the skin
and mado the water lather like mnnu
factured soap. It is exactly the color of
turpentine soap, and has n peculiar
smell. There is money in this nntural
soap mine, and some enterprising capital
ist could make a big thinir of it hero.
There is not another pin. e in tho world
thnt can boast of a natural soap niiua."

AniKFCT practical experiment in a laundry lias proved to me
that the Ivory, tested against a certain well known brand of
"laundry soap, has the same amount of cleansing power and one and
" tivo-tltinte the lasting capacity. That is, the Ivory Soap will do one
"and f.co tliirds times ihe work of the soap against which it was
" tested. I therefore consider the Ivory a very good laundry soap."
JOHN W. LANOLEY,
Professor of Chemistry, University of Michigan.
A WORD OF WARNING.
There aro many wMto soaps, each represented to be "Just as good as tho 'Ivory' 1"
they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of
the genuine. Ask for " Ivory " Soap and Insist upon getting it.
