Agricultural and Domestic.

Reasons Wh? Fruit-Trees are Barreoi. We promised, in our last paper, to give the reasons ivhy fruit-trees are barren, as stated by Dr.'B. 8. Ilidl, in his Industrial University Lecture at Champaign, 111. He said: “To understand this, we must refer to the tree’s action in growth. Trees that expend nil their forces in the production of wood-growth can produce little or no fruit. Indeed, it is not possible for any tree to jierfect a fruitgenn, and not ngain, in some way, disorganize it, unless the Wood-growth shall cease in time for the leaves to elaliorafce food enough to grow l>oth leaf and fruit the following year, or until a part of tlie leaver shall attain to nearly or quite their full size. That this is so will be apparent when we consider that the leaves whieb-first appear in the Spring were formed in the hnds the previous year, perfect in all their parts, and in the embryo state contained each individual cell found in them when fully grown. But,we are asked, if there is no addition to the number of cells, how do the leaves grow ? The answer is, that the only difference we can see between an embryo leaf aiid one fully grown is in the size of the leafcolls. As growth begins in the spring, these small cells, which were formed in the previous year, begin to expand. Each individual cell thus enlarges, until the whole of the- numerous cells of which the leaves are composed are of full size. To further illustrate this, let us suppose in a brick wall, that each brick at the same time was gradually to-expand to several hundred times -its present diameter, and you have just what takes place in the growth of an embryo leaf. Here we tind the tree in possession of a full grown leaf. This leaf did not torn itself, but was formed by the tree in the preceding year. To produce and sustain this cellular enlargement, there has been stored the previous year a large share of nutriment in the buds and in. other parts of the tree. This nutriment or plant food mast not only be sufficient to feed the embryo leaves, but must also be sufficient to produce the small, warty Excrescences —the rootlets and spongioles. These new leaves and spongioles are tlie tree’s labspongmles first grown were made, with the exception of moisture, wholly out ot the materials that were stored by the tree during the growth of the previous year. When the vegetable stores are in sufficient supply to do this, and nourish the fruitgerms also, then we shall hear little about imperfect fertilization. On the other hand, had the food been consumed the previous year, by ripening an overcrop of fruit, or by making a very succulent growth,.then tlie tree would "not sture a sufficient amount of plant food to' perforin its threefold office in the production of leaves, roots with their spongioles, and fruit. In this condition, a part of the leaf, and a larger portion of all the fruit-buds, yield up their nourishment, which goes tb the production of root and leaf growth. -—-The tree, therefore is barren of fruit for the summer, its whole growth being required to recuperate the vigor of the tree. Such trees Often bloom, 1 freely', and then cast their Mown. When this occurs, unauformed persons often attribute it to a want of fertilization, or'suppose that the rain must have washed away the pollen.” —Hearth and Home . v —Professor Brewer, of Yale j Scientific School recommends the Breton cattle for scanty pastures. They yield eight times their weight of milk per year, and thrive well where other breeds fail t -7-Lewis F. Allen says there ama AQ A' vhs r>4- _ i.A.'l

Farm Proverbs.

Do not keep more live stock on yonr farm than you can keep well. -Ilonse all things ns much ns possible—animals, utensils and crops. Sell when you can get a fair price, and do not store for rats and speculators. The more comfortable you keep your animals,-the more they will thrive. A good cow is a valuable machine—the more food she properly digests, the greater the profit. A few roots daily to all the slock are as welcome as apples to boys and gil ls. Iron shoes on sleds last a lifetime. They are really cheaper in the end than wooden ones. Replace all the bars where you pass often by strong gates, Itnd then wonder you didn’t do so before. Although, in draining land thoroughly, your purse may be drained, yet the full crops that follow will soon fill it again. Always give the soil the first meal. If it is well fed with manure, it will feed all else—plants, animal and men. A borrowed tool, if broken I should be replaced by a new one. A nice sense of honor in such matters is much to be commended. It seems strange that housekeepers don’t buy pails and tubs with brass hoops and trimmings. They cost a little more at first, but last wonderful ly. _______ Cutting Timber to Last. — Mr. Skinner an experienced farmer of Herkimer county, New York, recently stated before the Little Falls Farmers’ Club that he always cut timber when it was frozen, in order that it might last a long time without decay. He was aware that other seasons of the year were, recommended. He had tried all seasons and with a number of varieties of wood, and no timber lasted so well as that cut in winter when the timber was frozen. He said a hemlock stick used as a stringer for bridges would last longer when the bark was left on. He had observed it often, and gave as a reason that the bark kept the wood moist. He thought the best timber for sills, or for building purposes, was red elm; next in order was oak, white elm and red beech. For pins, the raves of wood sleds, and bolsters to wagons, there is no ti mber to be preferred to red elm. - ——

Precaution against Injurious Insects.

The insect enemies ofithe fruit crop are multiplying so last, notwithstanding all that has been written about their habits and the best modes of destroying them, that great vigilance will be necessary in order to olieek thei rravages. The cocoons of the apple-worm moth may now be found in the crevices of the bark of those trees on which the worms have been most destructive. Scraping and washing the bark, and digging into the eocbons, are good means of checking the increase of this troublesome insect. If borers have penetrated the wood at the base of tlie apple or peach tree, they should be dug out and bandages of some kind placed around the collars to prevent the parent moth from depositing its eggs on the bark in summer. Lime or ashes pl&ped around the trees outside the bandage will be an additional protection.— Western ral. .

The Daily Journal receives items of news from all parts of the world that are worth having, and the same is published in the Weekly in a condensed form. It can not be necessary, at this day, to particularize the merits upon which the Journal rests its claims to a continuance and extension of the abHndant patronage it has bo long enjoyed. The patronage is itself the best evidence of its merits. A newspaper must be worth to a reader what he pays for it, nr he will not have it. It is in no respect diflerent from any other article. It supplies a want, and is worth more or less as it supplies tlio want more or less completely. 11 it is good, it needs little other solicitation ot patronage than do good groceries or diy goods. 1 lie Journal has kept, steadily in view the purpose of making itself indispensable to its readers, by furnishing them the news in the most con--venient form, and of the most authentic character, and of the greatest variety. It■has maintained a staff of

Editors of Acknowledged Ability and Experience. It bus systematically dispatched reporters to describe for its columns all occuircnccs,political and otherwise, of general interest. It ..as incurred very great expense in securing special telegraphic dispatches. It lias labored without counting cost or time to uiako itscli as nearly as possible a Complete Dally and Weekly accord of the Affairs of the Country. By these means it has given its renders the fall worth of their money, its proprietors ask support for it besause they ask no more than they uro able to give a full and satisfactory equivalent for. They ask nothing on account of party preferences, or local advantages. A paper that begs the help of its party because of iu partisan character is apt to have little elce to recommend it. The Journal aims to secure patronage by being WORTH IfSPUICE TO ANY MAN of any party. It is Republican in its Poliical Vi ws, and its conductors see no reason to think that it will ever he anything else, but its columns will contain all or tho Departments nsu'dly included iu first clasc newspapers, including POLITICAL, FINANCIAL, COMMERCIAL, AGRICULTURAL, FOREIGN.
