Orchards-Tramping Wheat and Clo-
yer in the Spring.

A GARNER, at Ellcndale, Ohio county,
Va, gives in the American Farmer, his
experience in fruit raising, also, as to the
advantages of allowing grain to be tram
ped by sheep and cattle in the spring. Of
course rolling well would answer the same
purpose. 1t possesses some interest, and
for that reason it may be useful to our az
ricultural readers.
As the season is approaching for over
looking and paying proper attention to our
orchards, as well as to other agricultural
matters, 1 have thought few hints to the
cultivators and lovers of good fruit may
not be amiss.
My orchard, though not very large
not over $50 trees-is remarkably produc-
tive of fine fruit, and has never, in any
season, been without an abundant supply.
The year before the last, when there was
an almost total failure here and elsewhere,
my trees were we'll filled with fruit of ex-
ccllcnt quality, which brought me good
price in consequence of the general scarci-
ty. have them planted in sod ground,
the pasture of which is of so much import
auce to me, in my arrangements for sheep,
that l am unwilling to have it broken up
and it has now been for the last ten years
in grass. To accomplish the object, uSu.
ally obtained from cultivation, j. e., loosen
ing the soil around the trees, and prevent.
ing the growth of grass about their stems,
which deprives their roots of the moisture
necessary to their well-doing. 1 have
hauled out, in the spring, the litter from
the stables and cattle sheds-straw moi
yet converted to manure-and this is
spread round the trees, according to theil
size, so as to extend four or five feet be-
yond them in all directions, and some six
or eight inches in thickness. AS the sea
son advances and this deposit dies away,

as their hide and hair, when they were
present with us. But, what is gone, is
gone for good. There is no use in trying
to number The wrecks that time has left
behind him, or in attempting to scrape up,
with the spoon of recollection, the vast
quantity of milk he has upset in his frol-
les. You must now look out for the fu-
ture, and let the past perish in the sterile
kingdom of forgetfulness. Commence a
clean page in the journal of existence; and
if single blot of vice, should, perchance,
stain its unsullied whiteness, rub it out, I
pray yor, before it becomes dried and fixed
forever Many Of you profess as much
religion as you well carry off without
gruhting but I want to see you practice
more morality, and now is the time to
commence it. 1t is my particular desire
that you hould henceforth avoid all hy-
pocrisy, cupidity, venality, jealousy and
revenge; and take up the weapons of hon
esty, truth, charity, temperance and love
knock the devil himself down, should he
presume to cross your path, and keep
pushing straight ahead for the goal of
righteousness, as though the hell-hounds
of Hades were barking at your heels.
My dear friends yet little while lon
ger, and no seasons will flourish around us.
Old Time will fold his gray wings, and ex-
pire with the general classification of the
universe; and silence for us all will pre-
pare her dark mansion, where beauty no
longer shall nourish her rose, nor the lilly
overspread the wan cheek of Despair; but
we have this consolation; the eye shall be
frightened with unfading lustrc, when it
wakes to true bliss in that everlasting
realm of glory, where the sun never more
shall 60 down on the grave of the year
So moteit be!

that would exclude him be economical in
its expenditures, indulging in no scheme of
speculation, making no useless improve
ments, building no railroads that it cannon
pay for, Withholding its credit from mush-
room corporations, keeping down its taxes,
and going right along, taking care of its

RECIPES.

To BAKE MEAT.--In baking meat, see
that the oven is of right heat, so as to
bake quickly without scorching. Rub salt
and if desired, sage Or other herbs upon
the meat, and put it in the dripping pan,
with water in the bottom, 50 as to absorb
the juices of the meat which would other
wise be dried and burned upon the dish.
Beef should be cooked "rare," other meats
thoroughly. When the meat is taken up
for the table, set the dripping pan on the
fire, remove the extra fat, add more water
and make gravy as for fried meats
Hard water, Or else water with little salt
in it, is considered preferable for boiling
most kinds of meats and vegetables than
soft, as less Of the juices escape into the
water 1t is a good rule for all substan-
ces boiled for food that they should not be
suffered to stop boiling until it is done.
If you wish to add water, add it boiling
hot. Boil meat in as little water as will
cover it. After the meat is cooked, part
of the liquor can be converted into gravy,
and the remainder left for soups and stews.
MEATS WARNED OVER Cold meats
need never be wasted, nor a half dozen
useless cats and dogs kept to eat them.
Most baked Or boiled meats are good sli-
cod neatly and put upon the breakfast
table cold, and less meat is required in
this form than any other. Or the meat
can be sliced thin and fried in a trihe of
fat till just warmed through. Another
excellent mode is to cut the cold meat in
mouthful pieces and warm slowly in the
gravy left from the day previous, Or if there
is none, in water with little fat, salt and
thickening, then dish up the meat and
gravy altogether. Or, a dish Of hash can
be made, by chopping the meat fine with
an equal or greater amount of potato
Then warm the whole with milk, salt and
pepper.
GRAVES AND FRIED MEArs.--Tf fried
pork must be used as an article of food, to
some extent, do not suffer the drippings Or
fat to be ever placed upon the table for
gravy. Turn it out, leaving but a spoon
full or two in the skillet, then pour in water
or milk, and thicken while boiling, with a
little flour and water rubbed till free from
Jumps. With the addition of salt, this
makes a wholesome and palatablc gravy.
Gravy should be made in the same way
for all fried meats. Fried meats usually,
however, absorb too much fat to be strictly
healthful. Meats broiled on the gridiror
or baked in the oven are more digestible

PROGRESS OF THE AGE.-The Nashua
Gazette says, in old times it was not the
custom to settle minister, until the parish
had heard him preach three months. Now
a-days, minister will go off in huff, if
you ask him to preach as a candidate
more than three Sabbaths. One cannot
attach any blame to him for so doing.
Because when he is settled, he is not sure
of long stay, and if he is wise, he will
take the advice of an old man in one of
the towns in Worcester Co., Mass, who
recommended ministers, in these days, "to
settle on horseback"

GODs MADE TO ORDER.-At one of the
Religious Anniversaries just held in Lon
don, Rev. DR.. Archer read the advertise
ment of Chinese idol-maker, as published
in one of the Canton papers in 1923. Tho
artist declared himself ready to execute
to order, idols from twelve feet high to
the size of Marmoset monkey, Or the
most hidcous monster that can be con-
ceived to inspire awe or reverence for reli-
gion." His charges were for an ourang-
outang, 8 feet high, 500; sphinx, $40O;
bull with hump and horns, $3.50;
buffalo, $500; dog, 5000; an ass in a
braying attitude, $500.

since, such an one. She stood unconscious
of the blended charm which innocence and
beauty threw around her face and person !;
her soft, smooth, polished forehead was
circled with wreath of flowers; her robe
was of the purest white, and in her hand
was held boquct of variegated roses.-
Beside her stood the happy man, for whom
she was to be
ga guardian angel DER his life presiding,
Doubling his pleasures and his care div iding."
As l pronounced the words that made
them one, adding the nuptial benediction,
a tear fell from the eye of the bride on the
wreath in her hand 1t was tribute to
Home, sweet home Not that she loved
her father or mother less, but husband
more. That piece Of music, The Brides
FAREWELL plunges deeper into the fountain
of emotion in the soul than any other COM
binaton of thought and song, to which |
ever listened. Was the bride ever found
who was equal to its performance on the
day of her espousal,- or rather in the hour
of departure from her long loved home,
when the time had arrived to bid farewell
to father, mother, brother and sister p
Perhaps in looking at the picture of domes-
tic life, as exhibited in such circumstances,
we should not omit to notice some of the
less prominent traits and coloring, for they
never escape the keen and practised eye of
the true poet. Thus Rogers in his graphic
and natural poem of Human Life, in which
he snatches SO many graces beyond the
reach of art does not in describing the
wedding scene, forget the younger portion
of the family, even the little daughter, so
often the gem and joy Of home.
Then are they blest indeed, and swift thchours,
Till heryoung sister wreath'd her hair in flowers
Kindlmg her beauty; while, unseen the least,
Twitches her robes, then runs behind the rest,
Known by her laugh, that will not be suppress'd.'
But even this picture must be shaded.
If the cradle be one of the things of home,
50 is the coffin The bridal robe is, alas
too often succeeded by the funeral pail
six years ago. | heard the minister of
God say at the funeral of young and
loycly member of a friends family, she
Pwho lies there, stood here to take the mar
Iriage VOWS. She is now the bride of death !!
Striking thought. How short the passage
from the home Of love and felicity to the
grave A few years since I sat amid a
domestic circle of father and mother, three
sons and daughter. 1t was the home of
hospitality. Where are they now? The
solemn churchyard will tell. They have
long sunk into the dreamless ropose of the
grave. Silent are those halls that once
echoed to the cheerful sound of their voices.
They have gone to their long homeland
we follow. In the language of Paul, It
becomes those who have wives, to be as
though they had none, and those who weep,
as though they wept not, and those that
rejoice, as though they rcjoiced not Let
us add, that those who have a home, to be
as though they have none, for the fashion
of this world passeth away

some years, short patent sermon for the
New York Sunday Mercury. They were

quaint dress, has some excellent thoughts,

Song of the Dying Old Man to his
Young Wife.
BY ELIZA COOK.

KATE, there's trembling at my heart, a coldness
on my brow,
My sight is dim, my breath is faint feel I'm
dying now;
But ere my vision fadeth quite, ere all of strength
be DER,
Oh let me look into thy face, and press thy
hand once more
would my latest glance should fall on what l
hold most dear;
But al! ! thy check is wet again-wipe, wipe
away the tear.
Such tears of late have often gemmed thy weep
ing eye-lid's fringe,
Such tears of late have washed away thy young
checks ruddy tinge
I brought thee from simple home 10 be an old
mans bride,
Thou vert the altar where laid affection, Joy
and pride;
My hearts devotion, like the sun, shone forth
with dimless power,
And kept its brightest glory rays to mark its
setting hour.
brought thee from simple home where early
friends had met
And something filled thy farewell tone, that
whispered of regret,
Oh could wonder, when you left warm spir-
its like your own,
TO dwell upon far distant earth, with age and
wealth alone
gaze with holy fondncss on thy meek retiring
eye,
Soft in its beaming as the first fair star of even
ing's sky;
marked the dmpled mrth around thy sweet
lips when they smiled,
And while loved thee as a bride, blest thee
as a child.
But, oh! thy young and glowing heart could
not respond to mine,
My whitened hairs seemed mocked. by those
rich sunny curls of thine;
And though thy gentle faith was kind as wo-
mans faith can be,
Twas as the spring-hower clngng round the
winter-blighted tree.
My speech is faltcrirg and low-the world is
fading fast
The sands of life are few and slow-this day
will be my last
I've something for thine ear--bend close-list
to my falling word,
Lay what utter to thy soul, and start not when
It's heard.
There's one who loves thee-though his love
has never lived in speech
He worships as devotee, the star he cannot
reach
He strives to mast his throbbng breast, and
hide its burning glow
But have pierced the veil, and seen the strug-
Cling heart below
Nay, speak not I alone have been the selfish
and unwise;
Young hearts will nestle with young hearts
young eyes will meet young eyes
And when saw his earnest glance turn hope
lessly away,
thanked the hand of Time that gave me warn
ing of decay.
Questioned not thy bosom, Kate-I cast upon
thy name
No memory of Jealous fear, no lightest shade
of blame;
know that he has loved thse long, with deeI
and secret truth;
know he is a fitting one, to bless thy trusting
youth.
Weep not for me with bitter grief would bu
have thee tell
That he who bribed thee'to his heart, has cher
ished thee right well
I give thee to another, Kae-and may tha
other prove
As grateful for the blessing held, as doating ii
his love.
Bury me ir 'Nc churchyard where the darl; yev
branches wave,
And promise thou wilt come sometimes, to wec'
the old mans grave;
'Tis all ask I'm bind--I'm faint--now TAX
my parting breath
die within thy arms, my katc-and feel NJ
sting of death!
