Harold H ume yesterday gave out an in tcrview in regard to two frauds being practised upon the farmers of lh? Srnt? Hh huo U large number of letters asking for information in regard to Ger man grafted fruit trees and the bash strawberry. The statement Mr. Hume issued is as follows: It appears that certain parlies have been selling or attempt ing sell, what are called Ger ruan grafted trees. 'I he parties represent these trees as beicg i . J - - _ * i ' graneu on a siock or root which, imparts some peculiar property or virtue to the sion so grafted that when it grows, becomes a tree and bears fruit, neither the branches, leaves, nor fruit will be attacked by insects, rots or mildews?certainly a much-to be do sired condition in any tree ? but unfortunately the whole tiling is a pure fake, made up by some ingenious and dishonest mind to delriudthe tree planting public.! Farmers should beware of agents, or any one else making such re prountitions because they are fni-e and impossible. "Rut what of the strawberry J hush?

But most especially should there be a change in the houses occupied by laborers on farms, j Many of them are not habitabh ana are a reilectioti upon the owners. A house with only one room is not large enough for any family. It should have at least four rooms, and they should be plastered or ceiled. And when t>ie work is completed, several coats i f paint should he added, which will add not only to the appearance, but the paint is a protection to the building.
