\ correspondent of the Valley Farmer
says oreharda have died or Ix’eome poor
from them* can sea:
1. The exhaustion of the soil from the
constant empof apples; from the blow
ing away by the wind of the leave* of
the trees which nature designed to feed
the soli on which the tree stands; by
the crops of grass, grain, or root* coil-
stanlly taken from tlio same ground and
little return o| substance to it.

""i th restoring, man must cease to crop
the ground under them, and must tea
nure them with vegetable mold, decay
ing leaves, lime, wwxl ashes and salt. A
compost formed of thou substances
would be excellent ; or one formed in
by soap suds and re film' slop- chip-

fully unrolled, placing upon them freali
one* from tlio tomnlo vine*, with tlio
anil of banishing the last insect and e
hllng the tree* to grow with luxuriance.
Wishing to carry still further my exper
iment, I steeped in water some frcati
leave* from the tomato, and sprinkled
with this infusion over plants, rose* and
oranges. In two days tlirae were also
free from the innumerable inaorta which
covered them, ami I fell sure that had I
used the same iiionn* with my melon
patch I would have met witli the *
result. 1 therefore deem it a duty I
to tlio aorirty of horticulture to make
known this singular and useful property
of the tomato leaves, which I discovered
hy the merest accident.

A great diversity of opinion ex lata

Such are generally found to lx* very

your hogs mostly on alop* and rooked

my judgment we will lxi troubled but

Swift retribution has come upon the
responsible workers in the campaign of
slander. The endeavor, Intrepid, shame
less, characteristic, to approve Tilden
derelict in the rendering of his income
tax has simply resulted in hopelessly
smirching the fair fam® of the mask
chosen to conceal Orantiam. The for
tune of Oov. Hayes could not at any
time be an unknown quantity. He has
been in receipt of a liix*ral income since
1851), He hns practiced law in an ol>-
scure way and has learned the methods
of taxation. He received a good income
during the war as colonel of the twenty-
third Ohio regiment, drawing ;»ay nnd
sulwistenoo as brigade commander, lie
was elected to congress in ’Oft ami accu
mulated the salary grab of I860; the
next year he was elected governor ami
drew the salary of that office. He must
in all these years have accumulated some
taxable |x*rsoualty—yet upon rendering
the account of his stewardship the year
after coming into his uncle Birchard’s
magnificent, proixirty, ho has hut $2,881
of visible taxable*. It l< fairly incredi
ble that a man of (»oV. Hayes’ business
thrift should so tamper with public
patience a* to pretend thnt this return
under oath in any sense represents the
vast pro|x*rty which only a year Ixjfore
hi* uncle had rendered at $10,000, astiin
which nil his neighbors regarded a*
shiftily below the projttr estimate.
The explanation of the governor is
pitiably, ludicrously vague and insuffi
cient. It simply denies the iHmaexsion
of pianos ami watches which his neigh
bor* remember him to have possessed. It
explains the fluctuations in the list* from
1878 to 1870,ns the result of indebtedness.
How could bis uncle Birchard have Ix-en
content to render his taxable* at $10,000,
if they were properly excused hy the
plea* which Oov. Hayes’ now puts forth ?
Birchard was an acute money gatherer.
His whole life was spent in accumulating
the splendid fortune which he turned
over, Intact almost, to his fortunate
nephew. Is it at all likely that in IS7;{
he would present the suite, in taxes, an
amount vastly in excess of his legal lia
bilities? flow, in one year, could the
taxable* which Birchard rated at $lo ooo
sink to $2,000 in Haves hands? He
confesses that the whole estate is still in
land, that not a nenny ha* Ixhmi estranged
hy bequest or loss that the whole for
tune which his uncle delivered to him, as
executor without Umdx, in Jamiarv
1874. i* still in his hands and in tin name
condition in which it came to him \,, w -
with that admission, how d<x*« he rerun!
eile these following statement* m.tdc

2; i'
statement indicates that luS d)d know,
but deliberately evaded its compulsion
for if the wholly trivial excuse put forth
for the exclusion of taxable articles lx?
accepted a* fact, it would prove that on
his theory nothing bequeathed him by
his uncle was subject to the nascssinent
which liis neighbors were compelled to
pay on like possessions. With every dis
position to continue the courteous treat
ment hitherto accorded the Cincinnati
candidate in these columns, and with
genuine reluctance to make matters of
this sort the basis of political qualifF***-
tion, the Tinios *0?* no alternative,
