SICK FRUIT rREEs-How TO CURE.
Established orchards. on thin or impov-
erlshed soil, may be renovated la the fol-
lowing manner III tree has been planted,
say fifteen years, and attained the size we
might expect In time-get, say ten feet
from the trunk, and dig a circle W. feet
deep all around II, and I'LL In with a good
compost; the effect the next season will be
quite marked. If the tree is older or
younger, the distance TO start with the cir
Gle from the trunk will of course be pro-
portionate. A top dressing will also be of
great assistance, as well as a vigorous pruu-
Ing out of all weak or stunted branches.
Moss and old bark should be scraped off,
and II the trunk aud main branches can be
washed with a mixture of sulphur aud soft
soap, much advantage will follow. Old
decayed bark on fruit trees is always a
sign Of want of vigor. When a tree Is
growing thriftily 1t cracks this old bark so
freely as to make It easily fall off; but
when the tree is weak and enfeebled. the
bark often becomes indurated before it has
got cracked, and In this state the tree be-
comes what the gardeners call "hide
bound" and artificial means must be
afforded to aid the tree TO recover. In the
cherry and plum trees this is easily done,
by making longitudinal missions through
the bark with Il sharp knife. In the peach
and apricot also this process has been EN-
ployed with advantage, In spite of the
learned theories which have attempted to
show up the absurdity Of the practice.

FOOD FOR cows.

, A frequent change of food Is important
for cows In milk at this season Of the year,
There Is q great advantage in this change,
for IL one description of food Is constantly
used, the cows tire of 1t, eat it less grcedily
and soon show a reduction OF produce. The
very novelty of change seems to whet the
appetite and stimulate the vitality of the
whole system, and, of course, to promote
the secretions. Those near large towns can
get a few brewers grains. feed out some
roots and an occasional breakfast of shorts
will be found to pay. Cabbage ought to be
raised more extensively az a fodder crop,
They are most excellent. and the yield
Is enormous, Study change and feed regu-
larry.

We gathered a new idea last week from
one of our best planters in relation to tOma-

may be made by setting the plants between

opinion that the corn imparts a peculiar

The Children i'm the Moon.


scANDINAvIAN BALLAD.
Hearken, child, unto story
For the moon is in the sky,
And across her shield of silver,
See two tiny cloudlets fly is-
Watch them closely, mark them sharply,
AS across the light they pass
Seem they not to have the figures
OF a little lad and lass?
See, my child, across their shoulders
Lies a little pole! and, loi
Yonder speek ls inst the bucket,
Swinging softly TO and fro.
It's said, these little children, -. u3
Many and many summer nis""
To a little well far northWsi,u.
Wandered in the still hooiie"'
f. To the wayside well they trotted,
E.iiod fjeir little buckets there,
And The Moon-mafi, looking downwards
Saw how beautiful they WERE b..
ouoth the man, show vexed and sulkv
Looks the little rosy boy!
But the little handsome maiden
Trips behind him full of ioy
To the well behind the hedgerow
Trot the little lad and maiden:
From the well behind the hedgerow
Now the little pail is laden
How S%, they tempt mel how they please mel
SNAIL snatch them up tonight?
snatch them, set them here forever
In the middle of my light?
CMidren, ay, and children's children
should behold my babes on high,
And my babes should smile forever,
Calling others to the sky % a
Thus the philosophic Moon-man
Muttered many years ago,
Set the babes with pole and bucket,
To delight the folks below.
Never is the bucket empty, $3.50
Never are the children old;
Ever VIII the moon is shining
We the children may behold.
Ever young and ever little,
Ever sweet and ever tairl
When thou art man, my darling,
Still the children will be there!
Ever young and ever little,
They will smile when thou art oldI
When thy locks are thin and silver
Theirs will still be shining gold.
They will haunt you from their heaven,
Softly reckoning down the the gloom
Smiling in eternal sweetness
On thy cradle, on thy tomb II
