Budding Trees.

AUGUST is the month for budding, or, as
it was formerly called, 3" inoculating" trees.
There is one point apt to be neglected by
beginners, because little understood by
them, to which we desire to refer. They are
sometimes surprised to find, after budding
a lot of very thrifty young stocks that al
most every bud has failed, and are quite
at a loss to account for it; but experience
shows that the failure is caused by the
over-luxuriance of the stock, and the thin
watery condition of the sap. If the
operation had been deferred until the sap
had thickened, the result would have been
reversed, and instead of only one in a
hundred succeeding, there would have been
only one per cent of failures. The cherry is
more liable than any other fruit to drown
out" the bud, as it is called; and the best
time to bud cherry-stocks is just as soon
as they begin to slacken their growth, and
show yellow leaf here and there. If
this time is chosen, and the work done
skillfully, there need be little fear of fail
ure. Trees which are not growing vigor
ously should be budded early. AS soon as
wood sufficiently ripe to furnish buds can
be found, will frequently not be too early.
When large quantity are to be budded,
the work should be taken in hand early,
so as to get through in season, commencing
with the least thrifty.-Jour1aal Of Horti-
culture.

them in cold water till all the soap is out.

Thinning Out Grapes.

VERY few persons prune their grape
vines sufficiently in winter or early spring
to make the thinning of the fruit in sum-
mer unnecessary. In fact, it is, taking all
things into consideration, better to prune
the vines rather long, and then thin out
the punches. But the amateur, and some
times the professional grapegrower, who
has said to himself at the time of the
annual pruning, 81 will leave little more
wood than usual, and then thin out the
fruit" often finds his greediness gets the
better of his judgment, and too much fruit
is allowed to remain. A few punches,
perhaps, were taken out month or two
ago, but there is, and the owner and
gardener knows it, far too much left for the
good of both vine and fruit. How many
times we have seen young two or three
year-Old vines with one or two hundred
punches of grapes upon them, and perhaps
the owner invites his friends to view the
wonder; but this is generally before they
are ripe, because that particular time
seldom comes with such prodigies of pro-
ductlveness Not many years since we
were asked to step into friends garden,
and see a three year-old Delaware vine,
upon which there were two hundred and
fifty punches of very large and handsome
grapes-not ripe, however-and our friend
said that he could not account for their
lateness in maturing, because it was then
the last of September, and Delawares
should ripen by the first. To one who is
not accustomed to such freaks of nature,
it does seem strange that vine is capable
of producing and carrying to full size a
crop of grapes, and yet not be able to
ripen them; but this is often the case, be-
cause the fruit does not call for but very
little nutriment until the seeds form and
ripening commences. 1t is the seeds and
saccharine matter in the fruit that tax the
strength of the vine; therefore thinning
out the punches or cutting away large
portion of them when there are too many,
may be done with benefit any time before
the seeds are hard and ripening COM
mences.
Those who have neglected to thin out
their grapes should do so Immediately,
and not be afraid of lessening the number
of punches, because few well ripened are
far better than many green ones.-Heaath

Cheap Paint for Barns.

No PAINT we believe, withstands "the
tooth of timen better than Venetian red.
There are houses in some country towns
painted red so long time ago that the
memory of man runneth not to the con-
trary. and thew look fresh to this day. i'Ihe
wood is admirably preserved, and appears
as though it would not need another coat
of paint for a quarter efa century to come.
But, then, who would have such color

GRACE GREENWOOD tells story illus
trating new method of curing those who
are inclined to suicide. The father of a
family, after two attempts to make way
with himself, at length succeeded in
shooting himself through the heart. His
widow-an energetic, sensible woman
perceived that her eldest daughter was
inclined to follow in the footsteps Of her
father even unto death. The mother
watched her daughter narrowly, and one
day soon after she had swung herself oil
from an old chest in the garnet. She cut
her down, and tenderly brought her to.
Then, taking the knotted halter, she
vigorously laid it over her shoulders,
saying: "I'll put stop to this suiciding
I'm not going to have it run in our family,
I'll have you understand" This treat
ment was successful in checking the
mental disease.

USEFUL RECIPES, ETC.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Neao England
Farmer says his method of destroying
dock is to cut the root about an inch or one
and half inches below the surface, using
chlsel with handle long enough to
allow the operator to stand erect. The
plants are carried from the field when cut.
TRANSPARENT LEMON JELLY.-Pare two
dozen lemons as thin as possible; put eight
with the rinds into hot, not boiling,
water; cover it three or four hours; rub
some loaf sugar on the rind before peeling,
to extract the flavor; put in a china dish
with a pound and half of fine sugar; then
add the water and three quarts of boiling
milk; mix and pour through jelly bag
until clear.
To CANDY FRUIr.-Take one pound of
best loaf-sugar, dip each lump into bowl
of water, and put the sugar in preserv-
ing kettle. Boil it down until clear, and
in candying state. When sufficiently
boiled, have ready the fruit you wish to
preserve. Large, white grapes, oranges
separated into small pieces, or preserved
fruits, taken out of their syrup and dried,
are nice. Dip the fruit into the prepared
sugar while it is hot, then put them in
cold place; they soon become hard
Exchange.
To DESTROY WEEDS ON WALKs.-The
editor of the London Journal Of H0rtlcat-
tire says: The most efficient mode that we
have tried is a solution OF arsenic, to be ap-
piled in dry weather only. One pound OF
arsenic is dissolved in three gallons of cold
water and boiled, stirring. it while boiling,
then add seven gallons OF cold water, and
two pounds of crushed soda, applying it to
tie walks with fine-rosed watering pot,
taking care to keep it from the boX-edglng
or grass. The above quantity will be
enough for twenty-five square yards
ONE of our neighbors has just called our
attention to his peaches, which are being
destroyed by honey-bees. just as soon as
the peaches begin to mellow, the bees at
tack them, and in such numbers as to al
most cover the fruit. We counted twenty
bees upon one specimen and in some IN
stances. the bees had burrowed their en-
tire length into the fruit, and were either
SO stupefied with sucking the juice, or in
tent upon their work, that it was with con-
siderable difficulty that we made them
leave the fruit Whether the bees are the
first aggressors or not, we are unable 10
say, but that they soon suck out the juice
after an opening is made is quite certain

AFT LIE JAM.-The apples, which shout
