Make Your Own Sunshine.

40 DEAR, it always does rain when I
want to go anywhere" cried little Jennie
Moore. Its too bad; now I've got to
stay indoors all day, and know shall
have wretched day"
"Perhaps So" said Uncle Jack; "but
you need not have bad day unless you
choose"
"How can 1 help it? WANTED to 90 to
the park and hear the band, and take Fido
and play on the grass, and have a good
time, and pull wild flowers, and eat sand
witches under the trees; and now there
amt going to be any sunshine at all, and
I'll Just have to stand here and see it rain,
and see the water run off the ducks back
all day."
"Well, let's make little sunshine" said
Uncle Jack.
"Make sunshine!" said Jennie; chow
you do talk" and she smiled through her
tears You haven't got sunshine factory,
have your"
"Well, I'm going to start one right off
if you'll be the partner" replied Uncle
Jack. "Now let me give you the rules
for making sunshine: First, Don't think
what might have been if the day had been
better. Second, see how many pleasant
things there are left to enjoy; and, lastly,
Do all you can to make other people
happy"
"Well, I'll try the last thing first" and
she went to work to amuse her little
brother Willie, who was crying. By the
time she had him riding q chair and laugh
ing she was laughing too.
"Well," said Uncle Jack, al see you
are good sunshine-maker, for you've got
about all you or Willie can hold just now.
But let's try what we can do with the
second rule"
"But I haven't any thing to enjoy,
cause all my dolls are old, and my picture
book all torn, and"
"Hold," said Uncle Jack; "Here's an
old newspaper. Now let's get some fun
out OF it"

Budding Trees.

AUGUST is the month for budding, or, as
it was formerly called, 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 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 tc get through in season, commencing
with the least thrifty.-Journal Of Horti-
c,flfure

Packing Butter.

A few years since dairyman of our ac-
quaintance, who had been particularly I'M
fortunate in his sales, sent for noted but
ter maker to learn the secret of making a
high priced article. The man came and
looked over the premises, and the only adj
vice given was, "you need clean, sweet,
well-ventilated cellar for your butter, and
it must be used for nothing else. Then
get oak firkins, heavy hoped, air tight, and
made just as handsome as the best cooper
can turn them out You need not change
in your process Of manufacture. This is
all you have to do and will Warrant YOU
success" These suggestions were at once
adopted, and quick sales, large prices and
heavy profits were the result. That dairy
has now an enviable reputation and the
butter is eagerly sought after.
A dirty looking package will often lose
a good sale. 1t should have fresh, clean,
sweet appearance when it reaches the con-
sumner that will please the eye of the most
fastidious.
There are only few kinds of wood that
are fiji to pack butter in. Wood of the ash is
extensively used in some sections. II con
tains an acid very Objectionable to butter,

gummy woods are often used. They i'm

Cheap Paint for Barns.

No PAINT, we believe, withstands "the
tooth of time" 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 they look fresh to this day. The
wood is admirably preserved, and appears
as though it would not need another coat
of paint for quarter Of "a century to come.
But, then, who would have such q color
on house or barn, some people would say
To our eye it does not look badly when
the trimmings receive shade somewhat
different from the body of the building. In
point of economy, there is probably moth
ing better. We would not shock the taste
of any one by advising the use of red
paint on a house or barn, but think we
could live comfortably in house 30 paint
ed, all other things being agreeable.
For cheap white, silver or pearl gray

lowing recipe for making q composition
which he had used and found to be dura-
BILE, cheap, and economical: Skim milk,
two quarts; fresh Stacked lime, eight
gundy pitch, two ounces; Spanish white,

water, exposed to the air, and mixed in
about one fourth of the milk. The Oil in
which the pitch is previously dissolved to
be added a little at time; then the rest
of the milk, and afterwards the Spanish
white. This quantity is sufficient for
twenty-seven square yards, two coats. If
particle of blue be added, or if this blue
be combined with slight portion of black,
a silver or pearl gray will be obtained. The
addition of raw lumber will make a brown.
1t will be necessary to keep it stirred in
the bucket while using.
Petroleum, benzine, ETC., have been tried,
for dark paints, with various success. Some
complain that it does not harden properly.
The editor of the Country Gentleman has
used petroleum with good success. He ad-
vises the application of coat of light pc
troleum alone first, and then after a few
months give coat of the heavier petro-
leum mixed with the ochres or other paint.
He has seen such coat on q barn of six
years standing, hard and unchanged. 1t
is recommended for roofs as well as for
the sides of buildings.-NeD England

Are Hard Coal Ashes Fertilizing I?

Two years ago last spring, Alexander
Marsh, Of this city, directed his gardener to
prepare piece of ground for planting
peas, a portion of which happened to be
an old walk which had some years before
been made by mixture with the soil of coal
ashes and cinders from burning hard coal
From what had been written and said to
him, he had serious doubts as to crop
where the hard coal ashes predominated
so largely, yet being DESTROYS of one row
directly in the line of the old walk, he
planted one row there and one back of
them, in soil apparently entirely free from
any ashes The peas came up and grew
with but little perceptible difference in the
two rows during the early part of the
season but about the time they COM
menced to put forth blossoms, marked
change began to be noticeable,-the row
planted in soil free from ashes yielded
lightly and stopped growing, while the
other row continued its growth in height
and produced three times the quantity of
peas. PhilosophiZing somewhat upon this
unexpected result, the idea came to him
that perhaps the long time the ashes and
cinders had lain there might have changed
their chemical combinations by contract
with earth or atmosphere, or both {; he re-
solved to renew the experiment this year,
by selecting new piece of ground en-
tireiy free from ashes. Accordingly, last
spring he prepared suitable place of
ground for two rows of peas, side
by side, the same as last year, and in one
he put liberal supply of sifted hard coal
ashes, and planted the two rows at the
same time. Their growth and the result
has been quite as marked as last year-the
row planted in the mixture of ashes hay
ing produced more than three times the
quantity of peas
Mr.. Henry Woodward, treasurer of the
Mechanics Savings Bank in this city, in
forms US that some ten years ago, he
(more from curiosity than otherwise)
planted hill of squash seeds on top of
heap of hard coal ashes which had been
carried out from his cellar, and to his
great surprise the growth and yield from
those vines for exceeded those planted
elsewhere in his garden, literally supplied
with manure. By accident tomato
plant came up in the same pile of ashes
and made equal growth and yield with
the squashes. Since that time, Mr.. Wood
ward applies all his coal ashes in the prop
agation of garden fruits and vegetables,
with the most satisfactory results; believ-
ing fully in the efficacy of the ashes in
promoting the growth and fruitage. BY
the use of hard coal ashes, he says he can
raise caulinowers year after year upon the
same ground. The writer, and others we
might name in the city, have used hard
coal ashes in the raising of vegetables with
so evident and marked results in their
favor as to place their utility beyond
doubt, so far as the crop is concerned,
whatever may be the process by which
they act, whether as fertilizer or other
