HE REToH.-A young lady who has the
TINS city and who is vain of her pianoforte
playing, was recently entertaining party of
friends with fashionable song, when an old
bachelor boarder rushed out of his room to
the head of the stairs, and shouted =
what are you hurting that pig for? Turn
him into the street.

that she stopped singing

KEEN REToRT.-An old bachelor was rather
taken back day or two since as follows:
Picking up the New York Ledger, he ex
claimed upon seeing wood cut representing
man kneeling at the feet of a woman:
Before would ever kneel to woman l
would encircle my neck with a rope and
stretch it "
And then turning to a young woman he in
quired:
'Do you not think it would be the best
thing could do Z"
'It would undoubtedly be the best for the
woman," was the sarcastic reply.

Aloes to Keep away Bugs.

A few weeks since, l noticed an extract
from London paper, recommending a solu-
ton Of aloes as an antidote against bugs on
squashes, &c. Last spring l secured ten
seeds Of the celebrated Hubbard squash, for
which paid twenty-five cents. They were
just nicely up when the June frost came, bu,
by blanketing them | kept four Of them
alive. As soon rs uncovered them the stri-
ped bug attacked them. | tried all the old

great qualification, l had no more trouble
with the bugs. I also tried 1t on cauliflower

success. The slugs had about devoured five

Tho best time to Prune.

An old clergyman is quoted as defining
thi, time to be "wheu your knife is sharp"
lie was certainly half right, for smooth
clean cut is very essential to the healing OF
the wound. But there is very great differ
enee in the healing VI wounds on account o'
the season in which they are made. Prun'
ing done in March and April, especially II
large limbs are removed, Often Injuries an or
chard for life. The sap CORES from all the
pores and runs down upon the bark, discol'
oring and oftentimes destroying it-cilled
scalding. Without other protection, decay
begins, and in few years you have hollow
limb.
We like the month Of June for pruning
better than all Others. II the work Is done
soon after the new wood begins to form, th'
wounds made by the removal Of small limb
will be nearly covered over the same season
they are made. The leaves make such dc
mand upon the wood for sap that none OF 4
escapes FROM the wounded pores. Ii Is ais
a favorable time for thumb pruning. b,

ten nav, even in field culture. to have an ap-
paratus for the purpose, like the water carts
for sprinkling city streets. In the garden it
is entirely practicable, with garden engine,
hydropult, or common watering-pot.
One of the best methods to get plants for
n new bed is to start them in thumb pots,
and the runners strike their roots into them,
and form vigorous plants, which may be
transferred to the new bed about the first OF
August. The roots arc perfect, and the
plants are not put back. Nearly a full crop
may be expected Of such plants the irst sea-
son after the bed is prepared. OF course, e,old
plants that are used for propagating, can
not be expected to do much else. A few Of
the plants may be struck in four inch pots,
and kept for the conservatory or parlor in
the Winter. Both the flowers and the fruit
are ornamental.

Robins and Worms.

While 40 much is said and written in ref
erence to the destructiveness Of the robin
an Albany cultivator thus writes his opinion
"The robins are 30 industrious to feed their
youngwith the cut-worms, bugs and insects
50 destructive to the garden, that ] consider
every robins nest near my garden to bC
worth dollar" Still another A Yer
mont farmer says, "if we would consult oul
real interest, as we'll as the finer feelings o
our nature, it would be by defending the in
nocent robin from the attacks Of both boys
and men," And in reference to the "largC
species" Of grubs or muck-worms he contin'
ues, Providence seems to have provided an
antidote to this eyif in the common robin
This innocent and useful bird preys with pc
culiar Hvidity upon this species Of worms
This fact may be ascertaincd by visiting q
nest of young robins in the vicinity of q
eorn-6eld. where it will be perceived thai
they are fed lavishly upon this kind Of worm
