As rule, we have found it best to avoid
reds, especially dark red, which is often
sively dingy.
Blue is a dangerous color to use. 1t is sc

difficult to say much, as everything depends

April.

April has searched the winter land.
ana found her petted flowers again
enc kissed them to unfold their leaves,
one coaxed them with her sun and rain.
ana nIled the grass with green content,
And made the weeds and clover vain.
Her fairies climb the ma ked trees.
And set green caps on every stalk
Her primroses peep bashfully
From borders of the garden walk;
ANA in the rcddening maple-tops
her bLackbIrd gossips sit and talk.
She greets the patient evergreens,
She gets store of ancient gold,
Gives tasselled presents to the breeze,
And teaches rivers songs of Old
Then shakes the trees with stol n March winds
And laughs TO hear the cuckoo scold
Sometimes 10 fret the sober sun.
She pulls the clouds across his face:
But finds a snow-drift in the woods.
Grows meek again and prays his grace ;
Waits till the last white wreath is gone,
And drops arbutus in the place.
Her crocuses and violets
Give all the world gay :. Good year,
Tall irises grow tired of green,
And get themselves purple gear;
And tiny buds that lie asleep
On hill and field, her summons hear.
She rocks the saucy mcadow-cups
The sunsets heart anew she dyes
She fills the dusk of deepest woods
With vague, sweet sunshine and surprise
And wakes the periwinkles up
To watch her with their wide, blue ewes.
At last she deems her work Is done,
And finds a willow rocking chair
Dons spectaeles of apple-buds,
herchIef and cap Of almonds rare,
And sits very grandmother,
Shifting her sunshine-needles, there.
And when she secs the deeper sun
That ushers in the happy May,
She sighs to think her time is past,
And weeps because she cannot stay,
And leaves her tears upon the grass,
And turns her face, and glides away

states that poultry, properly fed, will ac-
ouire all the fairness needful for marketing
purposes, in a fortnight or three weeks at
most. Their diet should be Indian, oat or
barley meal, scalded in milk or water-the
former is the best, as it will expedite the fat
tening process. They should be fed early in
the morning, at noon, and also in the even
ing just before going to roost. with plentiful
supply of pure fresh water-plenty OF gravel
sliced cabbage or turnip tops 1t the fowls
are required to be very fat, some trimmings
of fresh mutton suet may be chopped up and
scalded with their other feed, or they may be
boiled in milk alone and poured over the
meal. This renders the flesh firmer than it
otherwise would be. When fit to kill, feed
ing should be stopped for twelve hours or
more, that the intestines may become com
paratively empty.

Saw Filing.

1t is great art to file Il saw well. Few
men do it who attempt it, yet almost all
who try make the saws run SO much better
that they. are quite satisfied. In saw filing
it it an important thing to have the blade
firmly held at a convenient hight and in a
good light. A simple wise for holding the
saw, is an upright board about four feet
long, having piece of wood, shaped to form
one of pair of wise Jaws, nailed upon the
upper end, fixed against bench or window
sill. Upon this, near the middle, two-inch
strip is fastened, and shorter board with
the mate jaw upon it is nailed upon the strip
to match, the nails being in straight line.
The Jaws of the wise will be found to have a
very little play-enough to receive the saw
blade-and by gently driving a wedge, to
spread the boards apart below, the grip or
bite of the wise will be found considera Bile.
The art of filing a well is only attained
by person having a steady hand and true
eye. Having the saw firmly grasped by the
Jaws described close to the teeth, first make
sure that the points of the teeth are on true
line, file them squarely down to it. 1t is
better that a tooth should not touch at all
than it should have all the work to do, and
nearly all the work comes on teeth which pro-
ject beyond the line, if any do so. The file
used must be in proportion to the size of the
teeth, in order to 90 in deeply between them
and leave sharp, clean angle. File so as to
retain the bevel Of the points and the shape
of the teeth un altered, unless you choose to
take the responsibility of making complete
change in the saw. The guide to correct
beyel is the glance of light from the window
which should be the same from each tooth.
both before and after it is filed. The whole
length of two teeth must be touched by the
file at each motion The teeth of each ''set -
are filed separately, but more minute dircc-
tions would only confuse one who has not
practiced saw filing. There is no mystery
whatever about it.-Agricahnrist

MATURING MARKET GARDENs.-All success
full market gardeners agree that it is useless
to attempt to grow good crops without a
yearly application of manure in large guam
titles. Henderson, Gardening says
1t is grave blunder to attempt to grow
vegetable crops without the use Of manures
of the various kinds. | never yet saw soils
of any kind that had borne "a crop of vegeta-
bles that would produce as good a crop the
next season without the use of manure, no
matter how rich the soil may be thought to
be. An illustration of this came under my
observation last season. One of my neigh
bors, market gardener of twenty years cx-
perience, and whose grounds have always
been perfect model of productiyeness, had
it in prospect to run sixty foot street through
his grounds thinking his land sufficiently
rich to carry through crop of cabbage with
manure, he thought it useless to waste money
by using guano on that portion on which the
street was to be, but on each side sowed
guano at the rate of 300 lbs. per acre, and
planted the whole with early cabbages. The
effect was the most marked ever saw; that
portion on which the guano had been used
sold off readily at Sl2 per hundred, or about
81 400 per acre, both price and crop being
more than an average but the portion from
which the guano had been withheld, hardly
averaged So per hundred. The street occu-
pied fully an acre of ground, so that my
friend actually lost over 81 600 in crops, by
withholding 500 for manure. Another
neighbor whose lease had only one year to
run, and who also unwisely concluded that
it would be foolish to waste manure on his
last crop, planted and sowed all without the
result was, as his experience should have
taught him, a crop Of inferior quality in
every article grown, and loss on his eight
acres of land probably $4,000 for that sea
