To Frnit Growers.
Our peach and apple crop is often
lost, by mild weather in February
and March forcing the buds, into
blooms and then coming a late- frost
destroying the crop. An expert
ment has been tried by white wash
ing trees during these months with
lime, and the . experiment has
proven successful to a large extent.
It is a principle of philosophy that
white reflects rather than absorbs
the sun's rays, and hence the white
wa3bing prevent to a certain eia
tent the heat of the &un from acting
upon the trees, and thus prolongs
the time of bloeomiog. It U an exs
periment worthy of trying. A good
thick coat of lime washing may
save an entire crop of peaches and
apples, and the expense would be
very little. And in addition to
that, if, during the winter when
snows come,
large quantities of
snow be piled and packed about the
roots of the trees, and covered with
leaves or straw, it would keep the
ground about the trees colder much
later in the spring. With both
these experiments in practice, there
is no doubt that the blooming pe
riod could be kept back until all
dangers of fros-s were entirely past.
Let our people try it. The Chroni

chickens, he having been entitled
to all of the gate fees, besides any
other amounts made.
