Fruit Garden and Orchard.

Trees aOjh F'ui,-Such trees
as are heavily loaded with fruit
should be supported with sub
stantial stakes, and the limbs
bound to them with strong bands
of hay, placed carefully between
the limb and the stake to pre-
vent rubbing. ~
Vines.-Keep vines trained
and tied up; and the ground en-
tirely clear of weeds, that the
fruit may have the full benefit
of the reflection from the bare
surface.
Buddjng.-Peaches, nectar
ines, apricots, almonds, and, in
deed, all sorts of fruit may be
budded this month, whenever
the bark parts freely from the
stalk. Pears should be budded
early.
Nearly Baclcled Hees.-Watch
these and loosen the bandages in
three or four weeks. Such as
have been grated or budded
heretofore should have all shoots
below the bud and graft rubbed
off. WHoH.f
Stones for Planting.-Gather
the stones of fruit and plant i'm
mediately, or put them in moist
earth in flower pots and plunge
these in the ground. Do not al
low them to dry at all if you
would make sure of their COM
ing up.
,,Seedlings.-Give these careful
attention, keeping them entirely
clear of weeds and the soil loose.
Water them well in dry weather.

farmer's Column,
Preparation for Grain Sowing.

Flowing for the fall seeding
should be accomplished as early
as practicable in this month
After corn working and harvest
are over, all other work on a
grain farm should give place to
this when the ground is not too
hard to admit of it. 1t is not
only very desirable to have the
blowing done early, but it is
doubly so to avoid being thrown
back SO far in the season by the
effects of drought as to prevent
aproper preparation in due time.
Plow to the full depth of eight
inches for although it is not
well to SOW on deep loose bed,
yet plowed sufficiently in ad-
vance of the seeding, the broken
soil settles well and becomes suf-
ficiently compacted. Then the
operation of seeding with the
drill or a shallow furrow, makes
such a seed bed as best suits the
character of the crop. aT
If oat stubble is to be seeded
to wheat, it is especially desirs-
BILE to get it turned early and
deep, that the straw may decay
before being disturbed again
Let not the mistake be made of
hauling the manure to the ground
before blowing; First, because
it is much better applied after
and second, because it postpones
the plowing when it is particu-
larly desirable to have itprompt
ly done. Plow first and put on
the manure after, scattering from
the wagons instead of putting
into piles on the field,
Prepare for sowing rye by the
1st of September. Though not
a popular, nor generally prof.
table crop, a great deal depends
upon its early sowing and due
preparation of the ground. For
a winter and spring pasture it is
very useful, but the advantage
is lost without early sowing
Any time after the middle of
August is suitable for it. A
light loan, ofmoderate fertility,
is the best soil for it.

THE CHAPEL IN THE HEART.-In
your retirement, make frequent collo-
quies, or short discoursings with God and
thy own soul. Every return of the heart
in these intercourses is going to Him,
an appearing in his presence, and in rep>
resenting him present to thy necessity
This vas long since called by spiritual
person ga building to God chapel in
our heart" 1t reconciles Martha's en-
ploymeut with Nary's devotion, charity
and religion, the necessities of cur cali
ing and the employment of devotion.
For thus in the midst of the works If your
trade you may retire into your chapel
the heart converse with God by
frequent addresses andreturns.-Jeremy

Historical Facts to be Remem-
bpPpA

The following historical iacts should
be printed in every school book in the
country, that the rising generation may
be able to learn whence came the suf,
fering their ancestors bore, and the bur-
dens they will be called to bear, for the
sake of the safety of their government ;
l. Remember that the Democracy of
the South instigated the rebellion.
2. Remember that the Democracy of
the North aided, abetted, encouraged
aud sustained the rebellion. See Gov.
Orr's late speech.
g. Remember that the Democratic
leaders cried peace peace declared in
favor of cessation of hostilities, and re-
solved in their national convention in
1864, that the war for the Union was a
failure
4. Rememt er that the leaders of that
party encouraged desertion.
5. Remember that the Southern Dem
ocratic rebellion cost us three hundre
thousand lives, three thousand millions
of dollars, and carried mourning and
desolation in every loyal household in
the North.
6. Remember that the leaders of
Democracy instigated plots in the North
in the interest of secession that they
conspired to release the rebel prisoners
at Camp Douglas, and to surrender our
cities to their tender mercies.
7. Remember that this same party
fostered and matured the spirit that
nerved the arm Of a Booth to assassinate
Abraham Lincoln.

charge of the falls ofthe Ohio, and use
them exclusively for 'wetting down

A COUPLE OF HINTs.-Thos

A COUPLE OF HINTs.-Those
who are fond of green corn dur
ing the winter do not all know
that it may be preserved by
packing it in casks or barrels
and covering it with brine strong
enough to keep cucumbers. The
corn should be taken with the
husks on. Corn thus prepared,
if kept covered with brine, will
keep in good order for year or
more, and will be sufficiently
fresh for the table when boiled.
If you are troubled with rats,
put some tar in the entrance of
their dwellings,so that they can
not get in or out without coming
in contact with it and my word
for it they will not trouble you
long.
