Winter Pruning.

A good many orchardists have prAc-
ticed pruning in the winter with as good
or better success, than at any other sea-
son. The sap not circulating in winter,
the wound dries, and the cementis more
readily applied, No harm will come to
the tree if the application should not be
made till spring A hot mixture of tar
and brick dust, or fine sand, is often
used; also a mixture of COW droppings
and dry clay; but a thick solution of
shellac in alcohol, or collodion, is better
and more easily applied Scrape the
trees free from moss and dead bark,
and give the top a good balance by re-
moving an equal amount of wood irom
each side, not allowing the top to shoot
up too high. A thoroughly spread, low
top is desirable, not only for convent
ence in gathering, but better yield Of
fruit is thereby obtained. Orchards
should be so trimmed as to preserve an
equilibrium between top and bottom.
If the top is too heavy for the root, q
sufficient quantity of sap will not be
supplied to the top, and if the top is too
light, too much sap will be put in cir
enlation for proper development of 2
fruit tree For many reasons, the fail
and winter are best for transplanting,
as the tree is in a state of torp0r, and
does not receive the shock it would at
another time of year, and when spring
opens its vital energies will be but
slightly impaired, and its growth scarce
| ly retarded. E.P.v.

What Will not Fashion Do?

The demands of Fashion are inexora-
bic, and the followers of the tickle Queen
obey her behests with the utmost alb
iectness, no matter how ridiculous they
may be. A Saratoga letter says:
"The fashionable walk for young la
dies this season is the most comical thing
imaginable. 1t is sort of hobble, as
if they had a very sore toe on each foot.
AT first | thought the ladies were slight
ly lame, and expressed my regret that
such elegant ladies should be so
unfortunately aAlictedi but it became
soon apparent that it was only fash
ionabIe laneness, for every lady who al
fected any style was afflicted with it Sc
verely. A few years ago it was the
Jenny Lind hop that all the young, and
would be young, ladiee were seized with,
and sprightliness was considered ele-
giant; but now, just the other extreme
is the ton"

THE WORLD IS FULL OF BEAUTY

There Is beantY In the forest,
Where the trees are green and fair;
There Is beauty in the meadow,
Where the flowers scent the air:
There Is beauty in the sunlight,
And the soft blue beam above;
Oh the world is full of beauty
When the heart is full OF Lowell
There ls beauty In the fountain,
Singing gally at its play,
While rainbow hues are glitterlng
On It's silvery shiny spray.
There Is beauty in the streamlet,
Murmuring softly through the grove;
Oh the world is full Of beauty,
When the heart is full Of love!
There is beauty in the moonlight,
D.. When it sleeps upon the sea,
While the blue, foam crested pillows
Dance and frolic joyously;
There is beauty in the lightning CLEANS
That o'er the dark waves rove;
Oh the world is full Of beauty,
When the heart is full Of love!
There Is beauty in the brightness
Beaming from loving eve,
In the Warm blush of affection,
In thetear of sympathy;
In the sweet low voice whose accents
The spirits gladness prove:
Oh! the world is full of beauty
When the heart is full Of love

Darkness for Fattening Animals.

All animals fatten better in the dark
than in the light, and this can only be
accounted for by the increased quiet.
In the dark the animal remains perfect
ly quiet, while in the light the reverse
is often the case Some kinds of stock
which are the most irritable in confne-
ment, as turkeys and geese, are found
to lay on fat best when confined in the
dark, and fed only at stated periods,
There is no surer proof that a pig is
doing we'll than to see him eat bis meal
quickly, and go to bed to sleep till
feeding again. -Germaatoscs Telegraph.
