Hedge Plants.

The Usage orange, which has been rec
commended by number of writers rs q
plant well fitted for hedges, is native oI
The southwestern States. 1t grows in great
abundance in wild state in Arkansas,
where il takes more the form Of tIee than
a shrub, growing 10 the height Of thirty or
forty feet, with wide spreading head.
For which reason tits evidently untitled Tor
a hedge excep, by constant severe Trim
ming. Ii has been found hardy enough 10
stand the winter as FAR north US where the
Isabella grape is found 10 ripen lis fruit. Ii
grows well in the latitude of Detroit. II
grows rapidly, the frost only affecting the
young shoots which have 10 be ,iimmed OIL
IN the spring. Plants are easily grown from
seeds, aud are very hardy. \ quart oI
seed, will produce a thousand plants. Put
thom in the ground in October, and trans
plant n year from the next spring. The
principal objections TO the osage orange are
that II grows too vigorously, especially in
rich ground, and that aier The tiIst fie OF
six years il will take too much labor 10 keep
II trimmed and within bounds. 1t is also a
mos, greedy absorber Of all the nu,rimen,
in the soil within reach Of lis long roots.
1t Is the opinion OF many farmers ,ha,
hedges are not economical in this country.

Young Lambs.

buckle, OF water rs warm rs you can hold
your hand in without scalding, let him re.
main there about four minutes, or until all

wipe him over with warm cloth or sponge
and il not too far gone, give him table
spoonful Of warm drink. Strong green tea,
or ginger tea, adding sugar and milk, or all
mixed together, are good. Hot wool blan.
kets should be in readiness, and wound
close around him, covering all but his head
from the air; let there be two sells, and
change oilen. AS soOu as he is revived, rs
10 act like eating, give him iea-spooniul
or two Of milk warm from the eve or "new
cows milk" As soon as he is hungry,
and not before, feed him lightly. Here the
great secret lies in feeding and rearing
young lambs. We are ap, 10 overfeed

FACTS IN FRUIT CULTURE.

The proceedings of the Northwestern
Fruit Growers Convention, contain the re-
port OF some interesting discussions on the
cultivation and management Of frui, trees,
which we regrad as Insufficient value 10 lay

IN n condensed form.

from the discussions Of the convention 10 be

The contradictory experience OF the men,
bers IN relation 10 the varieties most liable
TO this disaster, is not unlike that al the
east, where the utmost uncertainty pre-

Madeleine, as at The east, was found by
some members 10 be very subject 10 this
malady-wilh others, il has been unusually
exempt. A. FAHNESTocH, OF Syracuse, sta
ted that of six thousand trees in the nur-
sery, none blighiel bu, we think il is rare
that young trees arc thus affected, while
bearing trees are eminently liable. All
agreed that the Seekel was remarkably free.
The Diel, we are rather surprised TO learn,
is generally very liable 10 blight at the
west.
The leaf blight had been found most

even goes so far rs 10 express his belief
that what is usually known rs fire-blight,

time OF greatest need; adding, that by the

MAR c a.
py WILLIAM CULLEN rRYANr,


The stormy March is come at lasi,
With wind, aud cloud, and changing skies
l hear the rushing Of the blast,
That through the snowy valley nies
All. passing few are they who speak,
Wild stormy month in praise OF thee;
Yet. though the winds are loud and bleak,
Thou ART a welcome month To me.
For thou, TO northern lands again,
The glad aud glorious sun dost bring,
And thou hast joined the gentle train,
And wear'st the gentle name Of Spring.
And, In thy reign Of blast and storm,
Smiles many long, bright, sunny day,
When the chaRged winds are soft aud warm,
And heaven puts on the blue Of May.
Then sing aloud the gushing rills
Aud the fall springs from irust set free,
That. brightly leaping down the bills,
Are Just set out 10 meet the sea.
The years departing beauty hides
OF winiry storms the sullen threat;
But in thy sternest irown abldcs
A look OF kindly promise yet.
Thou bring'st the hope OF those calm skies,
And that sOlt time OF sunny showers,
When the wide bloom, on earth that lies,
Seems OF brighter world than ours.

SCHOOL HOUSES.

Many districts have sclOOl-houses less

principles Of his nature. A sense of deco

appreciation is stronger in the child than in
the man, and made so for wise purposes, we
can only have wit enough 10 see them. The
strong natural principle which is manifested
more or less, in all The acts Of mans life
is pre.eminenlly powerful in the young
mind. Even the chasiened, sobered ant
subdued divine, in the performance OF his
sacred dniies, is aided, and no doubt made
more powerful and useful, By the operation
Of that principle Of his nature which is
ministered TO and brought into action, by
the use OF an elegant chapel, decorated
desk, and neat adornmenis of the person.
The statesman who legisiaies in halls con.

and in lis application, frequently defeats The
object which il was designed 10 sustain.-
We have, however, numerous instances
wherein honest juries have given their yer

have no. been TOO widely different, from the
expressed rule, they have escaped from the
appeal.
