BLIGHT ON FRUIT TREES.
According to our Lawrence contem* porarj, Mr David Ooohrane, after a deal of experimenting, has obtained a epsoifio for preserving fruit trees from the ravages of rabbits and blight. He mixed together ono bottle of whale oil, one bottle of oaßtor oil, one bottle of olive oil, acd two pounds of sulphur,' stirring it to the consistency of paint, and then applied with a bru-sh to the trees. Not only did the wounds m the bark heal op by stimulating new skin and iof using fresh vigor- into the trees, but the rabbits, though they are known to visit the garden nightly, are never known to touch the dbbtored plants, having no relisn for the Ooohrane mixture.
