FRU1T BY THE WAYsIDr The authotities
Of most German villages set oil fitiil trees
aloug the sides Of the hlghways The
crop Is farned out every year, and though
the village children APPROPRIATE wind-falls,
the fruit on the treea, however is never
pilfered, but IS eteh safer than in our in
closed orchards.

Yerbenas that grow wild, as they do in
some portions df the southwest, are
slightly fragrant The same is true Of
verbenes that areraised directly from the
seed; butt theyare propagated by cut
tings, as they ordinarily are, they soon
entirely lose theit ffagrance On the 9TH
er hand, wild roses acquire fragrance BY
cultivation and only exhale grateful odor
after they have acquired the habits of civil
ization. .a
CLUB ON GARBAGE Thousands Of cab
bage plants are lost annually by the dis
ease called 'club.' This is cauSed by an
insect which deposits its eggs ON the root
and the grubs eating into the roots, from
gall or excrescehce known as the club. To
prevent this the market gardeners of Lon
don mix equal quantities Of SCOT, cow-dung
and clay, with Wbtor enough to make them

WATERiNo Trees. I'm very dry seasons
1t Is very important to water newly trans
planted trees; but the common mode is
very Objectionable. When the water is
poured on the surface, the soil is apt to
crack and let the moisture below escape

Rocks AaoUr GRAPE y1NEs.-The Ameri.
can Journal Of Horticulture thinks rocks
are an advantage to grape vines. 1t says
''The whole secret Of the thing is, the
rocks absorb the heat of the sun by day,
and give it off at night; keeping the tenn
perature about it more fully equalized.
The same principle is observed in cities,
where grape vines are trailed in front OF
brick walla which absorb the heat by day,
and reflect it when most needed by the
vine We propose 70 test more lnlly 'he W

SAVING TIMOTHY SEED. Timothy design
ed for seed should be allowed to stand until
fully ripe before gathering, and then cut
in the morning or evening while little
moist with dew, to prevent loss by shelling.
In places where the cradle cannot be hand
lily used, cut with sickle; never use the
scythe if it is possible to get along with
out it. The grass should be bound in as
large bundles as can be easily handled, and
bound tight, for the purpose of saving all
the seed. Large sheaves give protection to
greater number Of heads thansmall ones,
and tight bands hold the seed that falls
into the centre Set the bundles up, two
by two; and when oil moisture is dried out
and the heads "strip' easily, draw to the
barn in slight boxed wagon, and thresh
Immediately Run the seed througha fan
ming mill, and then through fine wire
sieve, holding it high in light breeze so
that all Of the chaffy matter will be blown
