Plant Sna'I Trees.

Young America is in such h2s;e to re e
alize results, he can't wait for trees TO
transport huge sons Of the forest into his
new place by some sort of patent machin-
cry, so as to make a grand show lmmedi-
ately. He has little idea Of what consti
tutes a perfec. vegetable structure, small
or large; he knows little of the pleasure
which comes from watching the steady
developemenl and growth of small trees,
from year to year. No, no, he wants TO
leap up to grand achievements at once /;
he wants lot of big trees, and that's all,
and that's enough.
We beg a lutle consideration for small
tree. Go to the open field, or TO the
nursery, and select a good specimen of
almost any good tree-say the beech, or
maple, or tulip, or hemlock. Take one
or more of each, three or four feet high
that have branches well formed on each
side. Save all the roots and tbers In
digging them up, aud in carrying them
home don't bang them to pieces, root and
branch, but treat them with the utmost
tenderness. Prepare large holes, "a rich
soil, and set them out so that they Will
grow vigorously. Clip the ends of the
branches Just little, but do this so as 10
preserve the original symmetry.
Now, watch these trees, from year to
year How healthful they look, in every
lin and twig and leaf! How happy they
look, shooting out their branches on every
side, and dancing in every breeze! How
graceful in every part, and as whole
Can anything more completely fill one 5
eye Small as they are, they are per-
feet in form, and plainly predict what
they will be when full grown. Age will
only enlarge their bulk, and bring them
nearer the time of their decay. Is not
d" sweet sixteen more charming than
the wrinkled and toolhles octogenarian
He who sets out large trees is COM
PEELED to top off at least the lower branches
to enable the top ones to live. The roots
are so mitulated in digging them up, that
nearly all the branches have to be trim
med up aad shortened IN, to restore the
balance Of things. But such a tree, so
marred in root and branch, is only half a
tree. 1t is a fragment, to which the lost
parts can never be restored. Begin,
then. with small trees. How they enjoy
life They will ere long outstrip the
large stumps you set out at the same time.
Set them on your lawn and pleasure
ground. Throw away your pruning saw
and let them work out their own ideal
If you interfere at all, let it be only with
your thumb and finger. Never fear theiI
wanton ways. They will attain near tc
perfection, If you will only let wei
alone "--.American AgricuItur1st.

large kettle and an apparatus for squeez-

The surplus honey for market is usually
forwarded this month and next. If in
small glass boxes, it should be packed in
cases holding what may be easily han
dled-6fty or a hundred pounds. It
should be secured by close packing from
sliding about in the case. And when
shipped, secure careful handling, other
wise the combs will be broken and the
value materially lessened. It requires
more care than a package OF eggs

Shepherd Dogs.

In some remarks upon the Dogs of

in tending their focks upon the noun.
tainS, the Ohio Farmer says the rea-
son why shepherd dogs do not have
the attention in this country that they
do in Europe, is owing to misuu.
derstanding of their uses, and a diff
ferent system of sheep husbandry.-
The sheep pastures of Scotland con-
sists of large tracts of wild, noun
famous land, covered with heather
and wild grass, with some alpine plants
There are in these regions few dwell
lings, and one can travel a whole day,
seeing no signs of human life but the
shepherds hut or sheiling. In such
place the value Of good shepherd
dog can hardly be over.es timated.-
The following account we copy from
the above mentioned Journal:
"The sheep are kept outdoors all
the year, especially in the northern
part of the country; and the shepherd
seldom sees any person. In such
regions the dog is truly useful ami
NAL; he is worth more than a man in
gathering the scattered flock, and
wearing" them in winter during snow
storms; for at these times, the sheep
seek the sheltered hollows to the lee
Of the blast. and in such places are
sure to ! e entombed in a drift. where
they will in all probability perish
The shepherd must, therefore, keep
them on the exposed side of the hill,
where the snow cannot drift; and this
must be done day or night, light OF
darkness. Without the dog this can
not be performed, for the sheep will
soon wander off and be lost to the eve
Of the shepherd; but the dog keeps
them together in the right place. So
it may easily be seen thai two or
three of these useful animals are Of

Preservation OF Flesh.

Verdeil's method is to separate the
meat from the bones, and as far az
practicable from the fat then cut is
into slices from one-third to one and
a half inches in thickness the slices
being cut ii possible across the grain
These are then laid upon hurdles of
basket work, which are subsequently
placed in a chamber constructed Of
lead or iron, which, as soon as it Is
full, is closed, only small opening
being left for the escape of steam,
which is now admitted. The steam
admitted is under a pressure of three
or four atmOspheres. and, consequent
ly, has a temperature Of from 275
to 300
After the flesh has been there ex-
posed to the steam from six to fifteen
minutes, according to the thickness
Of the slices and the kind of meat the
steam is shut off, and this part Of tho
process is finished.
1t is now nearly in the condition
Of boiled meat but it has retained all
It's ingredients, from the cOagulation
of the albumen, and its taste is Ike
that ofroasted meat. In appearance,
it is wrinkled; color gray; and it is
very readily divided.
Being removed from the steam
chamber, the flesh is placed en- trsys
or hung on hooks, in another chamber
which is warmed to a temperature not
exceeding 1909. In the course Of
eight or twelve hours the drying pro-
cess is completed.
The flesh is now packed in tight
casks or in tin boxes, so as to be pro-
tected from moisture and frem insects
thus prepared and packed, it may be
preserved for any length of time in
any climate. Sometimes little salt
is placed in the cask or case, in order
to the absorption of any moisture that
it may have retained. e.
Before using the meat thus pre-
served, it must be soaked in warm wa
ter, when, after an hour or two It
sOftens and regains its original con
ditiOE, and when boiled, or made into
soup, cannot it is said, be distinguish.
