Orchards.
It will interest those who are troubled with canker in apple trees to know the result of an experiment made last winter at Gnnton, with a view to its extermination. A row each of Lord Suffield and Poots' Seedling Apples in bush form were affected with this malady, so much so, indeed, that there was scarcely a clean branch visible in any one of the trees. Soluble paraffin was mixed with diy powdered clay and made of the consistency of paint, being afterwards well rubbed into the "affected parts with a rough painter's brush. The result was that all the diseased portions healed up, and at the present time the trees present a very healthy appearance.
