The agricultural commissioners of Ontario have lately Installed a system of market reporting thnt has much to commend It Briefly the system Is op erated by means of bulletin boards placed at all stations where produce Is received for shipment. On these are given not only the day's prices for a given list of commodities, but also a list of Anns with addresses In differ ent parts of the province who want such and such quantities of this and that commodity. These market bulle tins are corrected daily from report received from reliable sources and prove of great service to the provincial fnrmer and gardener. With commercial fertilizers coming more and more Into use there Is need for the exercise of caution on the part of those buyhit; them for the first time Hlong the line of buying those that are guaranteed to contain the largest pos sible per cent of the fertilizing elfr ments they are supposed to contain One fertilizer may look Just like an other and be represented as being Just as good as that sold nnder some other brand, yet not be worth more than a half or two-thirds as much. The prop osttlon Is a good den I the same as that of buying a dairy cow. One may give milk testing barely 3 per cent and an other milk testing 6 or 0 per cent of butter fat. Now and then some of our reader have seen references In horticultural Journals to plugging up the holes in hollow fruit trees with cement to pre vent decay One who examined sev eral trees which had ticen treated In this fashion found that ttiis mode or treatment Instead of preventing decay of the heart wood of the trees had ac (unity hastened It. This seems to have licen due to the same cause-lack of air which causes the under timbers of a house to rot out much more quickly If there are no openings left In the foundation through widen the air enn circulate. Fresh air Is a check to fungous growth, and for this reason the holes In the apple tree trunks should be left open.
