Between the first of March and the
first Of May is a period during which a
great deal of heavy pruning is performed
in the orchards of New England Uni
versal custom, however, is..atvariance with
what is the best practice; for it is well
established theory that none but abso-
lutely necessary pruning ought TO be un-
dertaken so late toward or into the espring
that thewounds made thereby will bleed.
This Bleeding eXhausts the energies of a
tree, and the wounds where it takes
place rarely heal over Satisfactorily
A penkDife is strong enough for any
pruning where trees are properly cared
for, Heavy pruning made necessary by
neglect, as is too often the case, may be
best perTormed-all things considered
during the six weeks preceding Decem-
Der 1st but cautiously always when the
wood is frozen. Light pruning is most
in its results when done in
the latter part of June. The heading
in of a tree transplanted in the spring
is justifiable, because the, diminished
root of the tree cannot always sustain
the quantity of wood which it could
have sustained had the tree'not been re-
moved! Wounds of an inch or more in
diameter made in pruning ought to be
pareds mooth, and then iebvered with
to protect them from the
Gum-shellac dissolved in
alcohol to the consistency of molasses,
coal tar, grafting-wax, common house
paint, all answer good purpose, the,
latter being perhaps preferable to any of
the others. Where it is used, by throw
ing little dry sand or loan upon. 1t
while fresh, the coating and Its color
are both improved.-[W Worcester Spy.

Story of a Pari. Rag-Pleker.

The wife of one of the most eminent
bankers of Paris went some days since
to one of our most fashionable mantua-
makers TO try OF some dresses. AS she
was leaving she complimented the man
tua-maker upon the courtesy, good
nature, and skill of the seamstress who
tried on the apparel. The mantua-maker
replied, .'She is one o. my most valuable
workwomen and / should like to be able
to pay her a higher salary than she re-
ceives, but my expenses are SO very
heavy am obliged to cut down every
body to the lowest figure; besides, Louise
is not strong and is able to give me only
half day., which reduces her wages
fifty per cent. l believe, however, she
works at home" At midnight the bank
er's wife returned from the Italian OPP
era, where Mile. Patti had drawn an
immense audience. AS she was enter
ing her door she saw from the carriage
window a girl rag-picker hunting care
fully among the refuse of the house
thrown in heap before the door. The |
girl had the usual rag-pieker's basket on
her back, a lantern in her left hand, and |
a curved pick in the right hand. She
was wretchedly, very wretchedly attired,
but the meanness of the habit was al
most redeemed by its cleanliness. She
was in rags, but she protested they were
not her fault, for they were clean rags.
The bankers wife instantly recognized |
Louise. She said to her, "Mile. Louise,
come with me, must speak to you."-l
The girl hesitated, but losing self-com-
nand in her embarrassment at being I
she followed the bankers
wife into her @boudoir. Pressed with 7
she relaled her story, which |
was as follows :-"I am the eldest of five

Fowls In Orchards.

The public has yet TO learn the full
advantage OF Ike, ping poultry. Few
seem TO appreciate what they may do
among trees in an orchard. Let any one
try them in an orchard of a quarter of
an acre, where they may be kept by the
picket fence four ar five feet high, put
ting in, say 125 fowles, and observe the
the result. He will avoid the annoy
ances in the garden, of which so many
complain, while they will work among
the trees, doing just what is needed and
destroying erything that can injure
the fruit trees, in the shape of bugs,
worms or other insects, and lay
a large number of eggs, which are
cash article, to say nothing ofthe chick
ems, which pay well for raising at the
present time. 1 have tried it, and knew
it is so. Ihave one hundred 70 wis, which
have worked admirably among my trees
keeping the ground in good condition,
keeping off insects and promoting the
growth of the orchard. / am satisfied
that we have yette learn the full benefits
which may be derived from the proper
management of fowls, and it is quite
possible that the method have suggest
ed may offer the best way of getting
our apple orchards into bearing condi-

Stop the Leak.

Turn the drain-the one that runs out
of your barn yard into the gutter by
the highway. II doesn't make much
difference which way you turn it, so that
it discharges its contents on some part
of TIE farm. Such leak as that is far
more expensive than one in your vine-
gar, cider or syrup barrel. Turn the one
from the sink spout A good spot to
lead to is in the location of some grape
vine or apple etree. The roots of the for
mer will take up everything that is
soluble in it. and will give you clusters
of grapes instead while the leaves will
dispose of most of the volatile and Of
fensive gases that will arise. We know
an oId farmer East who said he made
his sink spout pay his taxes every year
He had AN enormous russet apple tree
planted within a few yards of the kitch-
en-. On its roots the dish water flowed
as often as the family partook of their

expected supply of fruit. But 10y AN

No person should ever allow his horse
to be shoa by a farriar wins zempleys, or
keeps in his shop, the knife used for
cutting away the hoof, shaped like a
small shovel and usually braced against
the sholder when used in shovelljng
away the horn.
The almighty designed the frog as an
elastic, insensible cushion, on which
the horse should walk, as does the fowl
and; other animals; yet blacksmiths de-
light in cutting away this most useful
part, and thereby expose that which is
sensitive to contact with the hard road.
No greater folly can be imagioned, and
to a reasonable man it only requires to
be noticed to make the error self-ap-
parent. The blacksmith will argue that
he must "cut away the rags" and some
are so ignorant as to declare they cut
away the frog to prevent pressure on it,
that is to say, they cut it away TO pre-
vent the very object of its creation. The
frog should never be cut, or any portion;
if allowed to take it's natural course it'll
becomes perfect safetystand and pro-
lection to the foot. In colts the frog
may be seen in its full vigor and useful
ness but at the first shoeing the knife
goes to work, and SO it continues whilst
there is any frog to cut.-[Pub. Royal
