Holloway's Pills.— -The Greatest Wonder of Modern Times. —They correct biliousness, prevent flatulency, cleanse the liver, purify the system, renovate debilitated functions, strengthen the stomach, increase the appetite invigorate the? nerves, promote health, and reinstate the weak in an ardour and vivacity never before expierienced. The sale of these Pills throughout the globe astonishes everybody, and convinces the most sceptical that Holloway’s Pills transcend all other medicine for the removal of disease of every description. They are indeed*a blessing to the afflicted and a boon to those who suffer from any disorder, internal or external. Thousands of persons have that by their use alone they have been restored to health after all other means had proved unsuccessful. In answer to a correspondent ** Old Colonial” in the Weekly News thus writes : —For some species of fruit trees lightly digging the surface for a short distance around the tree is found to be a very beneficial practice ; but other trees, such as the lemon, orange, citron, &c., are very impatient at any disturbance, either by digging about the roots or by the use of the knife in pruning. These trees are, as a rule, great feeders ; and many of the small rootlets are close to the surface, which cannot be disturbed with a spade, however lightly, without injuring some of them, and thus, affecting to some extent the growth of the tree. Mulching is a very safe practice, and with a proper application of manufe in the process, it invariably succeeds well with most kinds of fruit trees. Ergot has a chance of coming l to maturity in all pastures affected with it when stalks of rye-grass are allowed to mature their seed. It is propogat ed bv means of what are called “ spores,” which are often microscopical particles, but each containing that vitality which, when one falls upon any plant upon which it naturally grows, vegetates and develops itself at the expense of the plant upon which it becomes a parasite. When once pasture land has become polluted with ergot, the opinion of many naturalists is that the spores of it may be carried to the flower of the grass by means of the circulating sap of the plant, The experiments of Tulasne with ergot of rye, showed that when ergottud grains were sown, “the fungus developed itself in perfect form growing in little tufts from the surface of the ergot, i»ith stem about half-an-inch long, and subglobular head. The surest way to prevent ergot developing itself, is to prevent the grass maturing its seed, either by close grazing or by passing the mowing machine over the grass paddocks.
