FARM AND GARDEN.
String Fruit from Late Spring Frost.
The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle and
Sentinel states that the following timely
letter is from one of the most intelligent
and successful fruit-growers in that vicin
ity. Tne writer is a large grower of
fruit for the Augusta and Northern mar
kets, and succeeded the past most unfa
vorable season in producing os fine
peaches as were ever seen in that part of
Georgia. He is thoroughly practical in
his views, and we commend his advice to
fruit-growers generally. A little timely
labor, a little care and painstaking, will
save their fruit crops, and add largely to
their receipts as well as to their health .
and comfort during the next summer.
The writer in the Chronicle and Senti
nel says:
Being often asked “ how to preserve
fruit from the effects of frost late in the
spring,” I have decided to again give the
modus operandi, so that each one may use
it in time of need.
Freezing fruit does not necessarily de
stroy it, for, if thawed out slowly in the
shade, no one would perceive any differ
ence iu its taste or keeping qualities.
Thus, apples, Irish potatoes, etc., when
hard frozen, can, by being buried till the
frost is extracted, be used and kept for
some time, while growing peaches and
app'es, though frozen solid, can, by the
following process be so restored as to
realize a fair crop, which would otherwise
be utterly lost:
Make once in about forty feet, on the
Western and northern side of the orchard,
a pile of about a bushel of light wood,
ent from six to eight inches in length,
and split fine; by the side of which a
pile of wet sawdust, tanbark or rotten
wood must be placed and thus used:
With a lightwood torch laid on the
ground, stand the prepared lightwood,
like an ordinary coal kiln, putting from a
peck to the whole amount prepared, ac
cording to the degree ofcold. When the
pile is all ablaze, place over the whole,
previously prepared, bark from stumps,
so that the fires shall not be smothered,
then coverall with the wet sawdust,etc.,
with a sifting motion, such as brick-layers
use, applying sand to the mortar bed, but
do not put too much on at once, lest the
fires bo extinguished. A little experience
will enable any one to manage this prop
erly. By lighting every other pile first,
and afterwards firing the balance, the
best results are obtained. I once lost
part ol my fruit by the wind shifting
into the northeast, and would advise pla
cing fires on that side also. After all the
fires are lighted there will be nothing
more to be done than simply to keep the
fires from blazing up, and the hand
must keep passing from one end to the
other—now sprinkling on a little saw-dust,
now putting on a piece of bark so as to
keep up a dense smoke, a smother in fact,
never allowing a blaze for a moment, it
is a cold business, and a new beginner
most not' be discouraged by appearances,
but persevere till the warmth of the sun
has extracted all the frost from the fruit,
which will be somewhere between eight
and ten o’clock. Your fruit maybe fro
zen hard, but if you follow the above you
will have fruit when your lazy neighbors
will have only leaves.
What time of night you will ask must
we begin the fires? That will depend
upon the size of the orchard. So that the
fires are all going and under perfect con
trol by early daylight, the danger will
be warded off. I begun between two
and three o’clock in the morning, and two
or three hands can make fifty fires by
the time sunlight would begin to do inju
ry. And so complete is the protection,
that frail is protected from a quarter to a
half mile to the leeward of the fire.
Allow no one to build a fire to keep warm
at, is my order, aud unless you carry it
out, you may as well not attempt the
business. Moreover, do you lead the
hands all night long, for if you trust them,
don’t complain that the remedy proves a
failure.
I have found that when the thermome
ter (Fahrenheit’s) falls to fifty degrees by
9 o’clock at night, that the fruit will be
in danger of frost the following morn
ing. Be sure to replenish your material
the following morning.
With good, rich soil fill up under,
among, around, aud above the roots,
straightened them out with the fingers,
and placing them in a fan-like and nat
ural position, being very cautious not to
leave any, even small, hollow places
among them. If the root is onesided,
make the most you can of the weaker
part.
At this stage of the process, a bucket
of water is desirable to pour about the
roots; but the watering, if ,he roots be
fresh, is not essential, except in the case
of evergreens. Next, put in a little more
earth, pressing it around the tree with
the foot. After this, throw on an inch or
so of loose earth, and the work is done.—

Manure for Potatoes.
An exchange says the following receipt
for raising potatoes is worth the price of
any paper for one year to any farmer who
is short of manure. It is as good as the
best superphosphate of lime, and it will not
cost half so much. It has been tried two
years, and is good on dry land. Take one
cask of lime and slack it with water, and
then stir in one bushel of fine salt, and
then mix iu loam or ashes enough, so that
it will not become mortar; it will make
five barrels. Put half a pint in a hill at
planting. All manures containing potash
are (.articularly suitable for the potatoe.—
Ashes coutaiu more than any other
natural fertilizer, and should be freely
used and carefully saved.
Buckwheat Cakes.—The fine brown
color so desirable on this favorite breakfast
dish can not be obtained if we only rely on
buckwheat flour and water alone to form
the batter. In order to secure this color,
milk should be used instead of water, and
in its absence we should recommend the
addition of finely mashed boiled potatoes.
This mashed potato improves the flavor
of the cakes and causes them to rise bet
ter.
B3=A harness kept well oiled is easier
for the animal, is stronger, don’t wear out
half so fast as one allowed to go year in

harness with a sponge andcastile soap.—

long tin |>an saves the drip.

For the speedy relief and permanent cure of Con

Lungs and Throat.
The Expectorant is composed of Herbal and Mocila
ginous products, which permeate the very substance of
the Lungs, causing them to throw off the acrid matter
which collects in the Bronohial tubes, and at the same
time forms a soothing coating, relieving the irritation
which produces the Cough. It is active, but mild and
congenial, imparting fuoetional energy and natural
strength. It affords Oxygen to vitalise tha Blood and
Nitrogen to assimilate the matter, canalising the nerv
ous Influence and producing quiet and composure. For
Creep it is a specific.

These Pills are invaluable to all who suffer from any
of these diseases. By their judicious use the bowels
are kept la a natural condition of good health. They
do not act as a mere temporary relief, but keep the hu
man system in a sound and vigorous state, by easily
and almost imperceptibly cleansing it of ail impurities.
They brace and invigorate both the physical and man-
tal organisation.

How to Plant a Tree.
In transplanting trees, much depends
upou the knowledge and skill exercised.
Thousands of fine trees arc lost every year
through the ignorance aud carelessness of
transplanters.
In taking up a tree or shrub for trans
plant ing, be caieful to injure the roots as lit
tle as possible. But in all cases the roots
will be maimed more or less. The feeding
power of the tree is to the same extent
decreased, and it wilt not be able to sus
tain tlie draft made upou it by stem and
leaves. These must be diminished cor
respondingly by heading back or shorten
ing. In preparing a place for the reception
of the tree, avoid, if possible, the sites of
old trees. Dig a hole considerably larger
than the clump of the trees’ roots aud form
fifteen to twenty inches deep, plaeiug the
sods, if in sward laud, in one heap, the
soil in another, and the subsoil in a third.
The hole should be filled with a mixture
of the soil, subsoil, and rich, black loam,
and little well-rotted compost manure con
taining wood ashes and lime, to the height
where it is proper to place the tree, which
should be no deeper than it grew in the
nursery. With the hand or spade jhape
the soil for the roots into the form of
a little cone, on which to set the hollow
iu the centre of the clump of roots. If
this is done some weeks or even months
before setting the tiee, it will be all the
better. Avoid stable manure at the time
of planting.
If the ground be dry, or if the roots
have been much exposed to the air since
the tree was taken up, soak the roots and
the lower part of the trunk in water twelve
or twenty-four hours. Cut off all braised
and broken ends of roots smoothly with
a knife, and shorten in the longest, so that
the clump of roots may have a somewhat
circular form. In cutting a root, always
enter the knife upon the under side, and
bring it nut with a slope, to the upper side
so that the fibres which may shoot out
from the edges of the cut shall strike
downward into the ground, instead of
upward, as they would were the cut made
as it commonly is.

thered tho product of this fourteen sores, and packed
and ginned eight bales of cotton, weighing over 400 lbs.
eaoh. The Chesapeake waa applied in the drill with
the seed; I used three other kinds of fertilisers, and
doubly prefer it to any others I used. After a fair trial,
and considerable observation of other fertilisers, I be
lieve this Guano superior to any manipulated manure
I have soon. Very truly, Ao.,
