Directing the Tops of Fruit Trees.

If you wish to have flavor in fruit, YOU
must hang it outside Of the tree Inside
fruit, or fruit grown in the shade, is sure not
to mature. 1t will lack color; it will lack
fragrance and flavor; will be less crisp and
juicy 1t is less healthy, also. All fruit
should be kept on the outside of the tree, and
distributed uniformly. 1t is no excuse to say
the orchard is large What pays in one tree
will pay in thousand We may as well
have good fruit, all Of it, as not Some trees
will do their own thinning but many will
not, and must be attended TO IL good. fair.
and uniform fruit is desired.
BY thinning and distributing the tree will
be strengthened for future bearing. 1t will
have a good look. with the fruit all visible
and all alike aud all good, as good as sun and
air can make it, and il is not so apt in rainy
time to become mouldy.
Where the top is dense and the circumier.
ence close, there should be an opening made
at the apex, thinning out Of the branches
Some trees will do this Of themselves, but if
not it must be done by the primer. Thi,
Will not only let the moist air out. but
also the moisture from the ground where
the branches reach it, the tree seeming
like an inverted cup, holding the moisture
Fruit inside Of this in wet season will nee.
essarily be spoiled There must be air and
light, and a degree Of dryness for the fruit
If little sun gets through the apex or else
where, it will not hurt any 1t breaks the
monotony also, and add to the beauty of the
tree. An orchard may thus be treated
artistically and aesthetically, and be made
an object Of interest to the eye, while at the
same time the beauty will be heightened b,
the sense Of the profit. Utility is always 4

Drinking while Eniins.

recent contributor to the Herald OF
Health considers the practice Of drinking
during meals an injurious one and argues his
cause thus
Whoever, contrary to his usual custom,
will turn down bis glass at the beginning of a
meal, and not make use of it till the close
may perceive that a great many consequences
flow from so simple an action In the first
place, the only aid to mastication and deglu-
tition, apart from the teeth aud tongue, will
be the saliva, Of which, from long disusc,
there probably will not be the desired abund-
ance. The time occupied in disposing Of a
mouthtu Of food will thus be prolonged. and
the character of the food make greater inn
preston on the palate The stomach will not
be treated to a cataract of hal-drowncd /
morsels, but at proper intervals to well-prc-
pared material for digestion. There will be .
no haste, no boiling the tendency to stuff
and overload the stomach will be checked or
fairly overcome--at least there will be leisure
to consider whether one is eating too much.
1t is needless to add that these changes would
be in the interest Of good breeding at the
table, there being few things more repulsive
than the sight Of person who darts at his
food, gulps it down in an instant, and before =
1t is fairly deposited in his mouth, has caught /
more with which to pursue it.
a little reflection win convince rs how
narrow must have been the distribution of
animal life on this globe, if the habit Of which
| complain had been provision of nature
for elephants, bufialoes giraifes, all the deer
kind, the birds, and even the beasts of prey
The crocodile and the hippopotamus would
have been enviable to all their unamphibious
brethren, while the area devoid of lakes or
streams would have been so deserted, that
man could with difficulty have settled upon it
in his savage state. As is, the herds which
roam the trackless wilds Of Africa are con-
tent to slake their thirst at the close of the
day, after wandering Of many miles away
from the fountain and tedious return to it,
life-giving waters. Their enemy, the hunter
is formidable according to his powers of en-.
durance against thirst in the desert

lMPoRiANcEor DMINAGE.- Thorough drain.
age OF land is necessary TO success in farm.
ing but the operation is too often NEGLECT.
ed When land is wet in Spring the soil
cannot be prepared for the crops in proper
time, aud cyen after the seed Is put into The
ground, it does not yegetate until after tbe
stognant water has been eyaporated and tbo
soil warmed By the sun. When Spring crons
are painted or sown late, they do not cover
the ground until the suns rays have dried up
an the unnecessary moisture. Lands natural.
Y or araheally drained can be titled early in
spring and seed can be got into the ground
at the right tlme' and the crops will have
covered the ground before the great heat of
Summer commences, and the roots will he
protected from the rays of the sun The Fall
is the best season for constructing drains.
