CURE FOR BLIGHT.

. Mr Scarraw, of Sandon, had informed the Rangitikei Advocate that he has found a perfect cure for blight on fruit trees, It is very simple, and is as follows Take the castor oil used as machine oil, and rub over the branches of trees affected by blight; in fact, put it on all the branches of the trees, as it not only kills the blight, but prevents the tree from, being attacked by it, _Mr Scarrow says that he has not got a single fruit tree in his garden that is affected with blight, whilst ,all his neighbors' treeß are more or less affected with it. "Whilst killing the blight on trees affected by the pest, and preserving the sound ones from being attacked, the oil. also promotes very materially the growth of the trees, and causes them to bear more fruit than they otherwise would. Mr Scarrow, delighted with the success of his experiment, determined to.oarry it further, so before riding on his favorite steed the other day he rubbed castor oil all over the animal, and the result was that a fly never came near during the day.
