Furs, says writer in one of the New York
papers, who seems to be thoroughly familiar
with the subject, should never be put away for
the summer and forgotten, as they 50 frequently
are; and next to being shut up from the air,
their greatest enemy Is damp If from the
wearer being exposed to rain. they become damp,
they should always be dried at a moderate dis
tance from the fire, Immediately; and IN warm
weather when not required for .ear. they should
never be shut up IN a box or drawer for more
than a few days at a time, and every few weeks
they should be shaken and beaten. The more
delicate skins require more delicate treatment
The best plan is probably not u pack furs away,
but to let them lie in a drawer or wardrube that
Is constantly being opened, SO that they meet the
eye frequently. and being thus often in sight, it
is easy at convenient opportunities, TO have them
taken out and beaten, or, at any rate, shaken
and tossed, and thoroughly exposed to the air
Il Is common to hear that the moth gets into
furs-as if the insect actually migrated from
one locality to another; the probability is how
ever, that furs and woolens are animal substar-
ces, endowed with a vital principle, which de
velops itself into living organism through the
decay of its material shape Cleanliness and
airing are therefore absolutely essential.

pRorrrs OF AM ORCHARD.

1t is reported that one Of our farmers in the
neighborhood If Nashville, has, this fall, after
making a large slneunt Of cider and vinegar
from his orchard sold the balance of bis apples
to a New York; for $500, and the New York
err claims that he will realize six Thousand dol
lars by the operation.
We suppos. there IS little doubt of his being
able to do it. The orchard consists of some 81
900 trees that have just com into bearing
The e~nterprising proprietor has twelve thou
sand trees already set out, and viii soon have
an orchard that win yie'd him an immense rev.
emu.
One hundred acres Of orchard will contain
some six thousand trees, and they viii yield e
nough the sixth year af er planting to pay all
expenses, of trees. planting and cultivation
When in full bearing. they will furnish some
three barrels of apples TO the tree, every other
year. If the orchard is on any Of our railroads
the apples will nett two dollars a barrel, or six
dollars to the tree every year. Thus we see the
handsome annual income from one hundred acres
or an orchard of 5000 trees, of eighteen thous-
and dollars. If these statements are exaggerated
by one-half, it will be seen at a glance, that
nothing promises half so well. But there are
a Thousand facts that prove this estimate below
instead of above, the reality.
Tennessee has a position among her sister
States. that enables her to supply them with
many valuable things, but the day will come.
when her fruit and vintage will be one of her
most pleasant and profitab., sources of income,
and the market cannot be overstocked.-Hone-

TRAINING FRUIT TREES.

The mode of training standard trees low is
undoubtedly the most natural for the tree, the
most beautiful, and the most economical. We
have long thought it mistaken policy to trim
trees with a special object of blowing under
them. A pillow should never be permitted to
60 so near a tree as to disturb the roots or the
the whii1etree to bark the trees. Nothing is
gained by it. Thc soil should be well %cultiva-
ted, but let it be done with a spade and hoe !;
the expense is not materially increased. When
we take into consideration the increased ex-
pense incurred in gathering the fruit on high
trees over low trees, which in very many cases
will be double, besides much of the fruit will be
bruised and almost worthless, we decidedly
give the reference to low trees.
We remember once of seeing, in our youth
full DAYS. a famous fruit=yard, containing apple
pear, peach, plum and cherry trees, with the
branches coming out about a foot from the
ground, with round handsomely formed heads,
the trees loaded with fruit. We think we have
never seen anything to compare with it for
beauty. We do hope our farmers viii ADAM
don the old plan of high-trimmed trees and
adopt the one which for symmetry, order and
economy cannot be surpassed.-Michigun Far

PLANT TREES,

Plant trees for yourselves, your children,
your neighbors. and generations to come
Plant trees for orchards of luscious fruits
Plant trees around your dwelling. and by the
roadside it will make home more pleasant
and happy.
Don't ask yourselves if it will pay three or
six per cent. a month, for tue first or second
year. If trees are planted and cared for, they
will soon pay even more than money at six per
cent. a month.
They will pay in luscious fruits and rich 70
liage. They will improve the appearance OF
your farms and dwellings,. Don't delay plant
ing trees, for "procrastination IS the thief of
time He will not only steal your time, but
will cheat you out of many basket of fruit.
Don't delay because your means or territory
are small. Plant a few !; give them good eul-
ture, and they will soon repay you with a
bountiful harvest. Don't delay because some
body has got a big orchard, and fruit will be
so cheap that it won't sell for anything. Good
fruit will pay, and it will always pay. besides
giving health and happiness to thousands.
Plant trees, vines and flowers Live as
though life was worth having! Where can we
be more happy than under our "own vine
and fig tree, with no one to modest or make US
?"-Oh1o Farmer.

SYSTEM IN FARM MANAGE
MENT.

Order is a necessary element Of success in
all men, whether merchant, manufacturer or
mechanic; and the Farmer most of all requires
strict care, order and economy. If the farmer
be an idle and shiftless man, doing everything
in a wrong time and in an improper manner; if
he fails to repair things as they get out order,
especially fence and house and tools: if he suf-
fers his farm to deteriorate. he will have rea-
son to complain that farming is unproftablc.-
But if he is the reverse of these, you will find
him an intelligent, successful and happy man.
A systematic farmer will look through all
the operations of the year from the beginning;
his calculations are made beforehand; hence he
can take advantage of the labor to be perform
ed; he can tell you how much labor it will be
necessary for him to expend in order to raise
and secure a crop. and the probable advantages
TO be derived from raising the same.
No systematic farmer will allow his manure
to be wasted by allowing his cattle to roam
about, and leave the very main spring of the
farm to waste its strength without receiving
any benefit from it-but, on the contrary, he
will conduct his business with direct reference
to manure making and advantages connected
Herewith, and his compost hap will compose
a prominent place among his farming opera

Tue Ohio Farmer recommends the following
mode of re-seeding meadows:
Spread well-rotted manure over the meadows.
either early in the spring, or at the
ment of the fall rains, and let this be followed
by thorough narrowing, and afterwards rolling
in the spring. If meadows are well narrowed
in the latter part Of April, and grass seed sown
upon them and then rolled, the seed sown will
readily grow.
If the meadows absolutely need blowing, We
should prefer to wait until fall; then pillow and
give the land the benefit of the winters FROST
In the latter part of March, SOW barley, and
after it is well up, or about the first of May.
SOW about four lbs. of red clover, and half a
bushel of orchard grass to the acre, with a pro-
portion of any other grasses desired, and then
roll. Or, instead of barley, Spring wheat may
at proper time be sown, if preferred. Either
of these crops are favorable to the growth of
grass, shading it but little.
There are several reasons why meadows re
quire re7soeding. One is this: under bad man
agement the crop of hay is annually carried of,
while no manure is supplied to the land to
maintain its fertility. Another reason is, the
almost universal preference given to timothy,
which though excellent is not a perennial grass,
and is therefore very difficult to retain for a
succession of years.

How the rrench make Coffee.

A cup of French coffee seems to have the effect to
put Americans in ec~stacies; yet few of them are
thoughtful enough to obtain from their French
brethren the process by which the delicious
beverage is decocted. Of this number is a
Buckeye writing from Paris, under date of
Nov. 9th, who supplies the desired informa-
ton
"While at Mr.. Morie's, his good lady very
kindly initiated me into the art of coffte-mak-
ing. In the first place it is scorched in a hol-
low cylinder, which is kept constantly revolving
over a slow fire, and not a grain of it is allow
ed to burn. Secondly it is ground very fine;
and. thirdly, when it is to be used, a portion of
this is placed in a finely perforated pan or cup,
which exactly fits into the top of the boiler,
coffee pot or vessel you wish to use. Boiling
hot water is then poured on, and it percolates
gradually through, carrying with it all the es-
sential principles of the coffee. As soon as
percolation is completed the pan is removed
containing all the grounds, and the boiling hot
milk is added to the infusion, and your coffee is
made. 1t is brought on the table in bowls,
with a knife and spoon and a little willow bas-
ket of bread. The servant then places by your
plate a tea dish, on which are two or three
Jumps of white sugar., always of a certain size,
and you sweeten to your liking. In no instance
is You cOffe boiled, and this is one reason why
the cafe au kat and onfe noir are so much adj

this mode, / am sure, in a few experiments, you
