Whitewashing Trees
Do not be afaid to white wash fruit trees of
all kinds. It looks neat, fresh and nice; and
it not only destroys insects and their eggs, but
thewhite coat on tlio body of tho tree reflects
ho heat and keeps the inner bark and sap
vessels from being 6talded and blighted by
the rajs of the sun. Kvery fruit grower
knows by experience how injurious tho blaze
of the sun is to the limbs and trunk of a tice.
A thick coat of whitewash will be much
better protection than straw, boards or other
materials, under which mice and bugs and
y. orms can harbor. These destructive nests
n be completely kept aw ay by using sul-
bur in the whitewash. The way to mix it is
take for, each peck of lime four pounds of
ourof sulphur. Mix the lime and sulphur
together in a barrel and pour in a bucketful
of hot w atcr. Co er the top of the barrel
while the lime is slacking, so as to letaiu all
mit-s of the sulphur. When slacked add
Stent water to make a thin whitewash,
his wash on the trees with a broom or
li, taking care to keep the sulphur well
id up, as it will be found to float like a
of oil on tho surface of the water.

tojf The Nurserymen.
California nurserymen are up to their eyes
'in business. They are undergoing another
rush on much tho samo classes of trees, which
i were m every buy er'p mouth last year, name-
' ly, apricots, canning peaches and plums,
Bartlett pears and Petite prunes. Those who
huve gone about looking up trees of these
( sorts te'l us that the demand w ill far exceed
, thie visible supply. There is everv prospect,
f , that theiage will continue on these fruits,
the outlook for each of them has iudica
ns of permanence. The result is that all
ulable stocks are being budded to (lie pop-
fruits, and many trees of this Summer's
dding will no doult be set out in orchard
Is Winter.
The prosperity of the nurserymen is a sub-
vJt upon which nearly all talkers delight to
unit, uui iu uue wuu kuuhs me uusinc
tliere comes a thought of the thousands of
'good trees which will bo burned up as unsal

seem to call lor the silt ot prophecy
but none more than tho indutiy of tho imra
crvmarf.
There is, howevei, one encouraging feature
about the present turn in the demand. It
seems to rest upon a far better foundation
than many rashes which have been based up
on a sort of an epidemic fancy. The fruits
whith are now coming into such prominence,
rest upon a trade which at present yields
splendid profits, and which seems to hive an
almost boundless lield before it. Kach of the
fruits has some well defined use in the expoit
tr.rflic, either in cans to go into all the woild,
or dried to turn back some of the millions of
dollars which the Easttrn States aro paying
for impoited dried fruits, or in a fresh state to
enjoy the profit in the rapidly extending over
land shipment of California fruits. AH theso
piotitable outlets foieshadow success in the
present mania for certain classes of fruit, and
give the nurseryman more data foi tho choice
of specialties for propagation than perlups he
ever had before in this State.
Sermons on tree planting do not now seem
to be called for in California. We used to
preach them and tlnow into them all the sen
timent and eloquence which we could master,
but now the coin is mightier than the pen, and
the impulse to plant is almost universal. It is
to bo hoped., that planting fur forest will not
be ov erlookcd, and thats me attention will bo
given to waste lands as well as orchard sites.
The vast amount of money which our orchaid
ists and vino grow ers w ill aggregate this year
should be partly expended for the ornamenta
tion of the landscape, the breaking of tho
winds, and the fuel and lumber supply in
paits where these features are conspicuous by
their laiity. Help the nurserymen with their
stock of "shade and ornamental," while you
aie thinning their lows of "choice fmits."

Fuchsias.
Eveiy spot around one's home ought to bo
beautified. No matter if it is a house built of
logs or stone you call home, you cannot make
it too beautiful. If yours is a little log cabin,
cover it with vines, and make it the dearest
and most beautiful spot on eaith. Flowers
have a refining influence, and are elevating to
our thoughts, and should be cultivated, if
only a few, by every mother in the land.
They aro indeed the stars of earth.
A-reader has asked mo to teach her how to
ti cat fuchsias. I dearly lov e this flow cr, and
1 think that they will find a place in tho affec
tions of any one who grow s them. So I w ill
begin by telling how I am dointr at this season
of the year with my plants. Several w eeks
ago I made slips of all the new grow th aijil
rooted them in sand, then I put in two-inch
pots and they aro growing nicely. As soon as
all danger of frost is past, I shall prepare a
bed close to the notth side of the houso in tho
shade; they do not need much sun; indeed,
they must be protected from it duiiug the
hottest pait of the day. Then I will shift my
plants into four-inch pots, or sooner if need
be, and sink the pots a little below the level
of the soil in the beds prepared for them.
If not well sheltered from the wind, you
had better build a lath fence about two feet
hii'h aiound the plants; thiough the hot, dry
weather, they should have a good sprinkling
with water about three evenings in each
week. They will begin to bloom as soon as
they have .had time to make the buds, and if
carefully lighted in the Fall, will continuo to
bloom until Christinas, and such varieties as
Speciosa and Lustre, much longer. When they
cease flov cring, and tho leaves begin to turn
y ellow and drop off, they should have their
annual rest. Oiadually quit watering iheni
and set the plants down cellar, and only giv c
enough water to prevent their drying out en
tirely. In about six or eight weeks you may
bring them out again, and they will need re
potting, and given some stimulants m the
shape of liquid manure, when new growth
w ill soon start, and the plants may be treated
the same as they were the year before.
The fuchsias makes a splendid pot plant,
and may be piuncd to any desired shape.
When the little plant attains a height of eight
or ten inches, pinch out the centre, and in
place of one there will be three or four
branches glowing out. Let their branches
make about the same growth, then clip the
points out, keeping the side branches of equal
leiiL'th, or tapering like a pyramid. Or you
can clip off all the lower limbs, ani allow the
upper ones to droop ever, ns they are sure to
do when loaded with flowers, and you form a
handsome umbrella. I think Speciosa is the
best variety for this purpoc. fiet some iron
filings or scales of iron around from a black
smith's anvil and work among the soil, and it
will cause your plants to grow vigoiouly ind
bring plenty of Aontu.(!tiiileir' Mimlhli).
Mam of the leading oichanl proprietors in
Northern Italy and Southern Germany are
cultivators of the common black ant, which
insect they hold in Inch esteem as the fruit
growers' best friend. They establish ant hills
in their orchards, and leave the police service
of their fruit trees entirely to the tiny colonists
which pass all their time in climbing up the
steins of the fruit trees, cleansing their boughs
and leaves of malefactors, mature as well as
embryctic, and descending laden with spoils
to the ground, when they comfortably con
sume or prudently btore away their lwoty.
They never meddle with sound fruit, but
only invade such apples, pears and plums as
bav e already been penetrated by the canker,
w hich they remorselessly pursue to its fast-
nestes. witbui the very heart of the fruit.
Nowhere are apple and .pear trees so free

There is a great deal of talk about training
tho giils, and if all the advice that has been
given were conscientiously acted upon, there
would be but few girls left to train. Girls
and boys need to be conaiderably "let nlono."
To bo nagged at fiom morning till night will

that will not tcosa it l.eo lwuo.itng l
formity or a monstrosity.
Tho helpless boy ! Haven't you often seen
him? lie can't tie a string or sew on a button,
or unwind a snarl, or cook an egg, or wash a
elish, or find anything he has been sent to look
for. They are things he dislikes to do, and
never having been made to do them, shiiki
out whenever ho can get a chance.
If he has a mother, she spoils him by eon
tiiiually trotting around and doing every thing
he is too lay to do for himself. If ho has
sister, I pity her, for sho will have no lest
fiom morning till night j his demands will be
constant, and his helplessness continually on

The small boy can bo mnilo to teel that it is
manly to be helpful. Ho must be taught to
wait 011 others instead of hiving othus wait
upon him, and trained slowly aud kindly to
habits of thoughtful considciatioii which will
be ot immense auvantagu to 111111 when he is
fulbgiown.

who cucouiage him in his indolent ways are
