The Time TO Prune Trees.
correspondent of the Utica Herald
gives the following sensible hints: From
now until the first Of April is the proper
TIME to prune fruit and shade trees, par
ticularly where it is desirable to remove
large limbs. Trees pruned at this season
of the year will not dry-rot at the wound,
as is frequently the case IN summer prun-
ing. A number Of cords of superfuous
wood might be removed from our shade
trees, and with benefit to the trees them
selves, no less than TO those who enjoy
them. The beauty of many of our streets
is badly marred by their wild growth and
the excessive foliage which in many places
is so profuse as to entirely shut out every
thing else. "A word to the wise, etc.
Plant Few Hills of Corn Late.
A writer in an exchange paper advocates
planting an occasional hill in every corn
field late, or taking pains to replant the
missing hills, and gives the following rea-
son for it: If the weather becomes dry
during the filling time. the silk and tassel
| both become DIR, and dead In this condi-
| ton, if it should become seasonable, the
silk revives and renews its growth, but the
tassel does not recover. Then, for want

office for which it was designed. The pol
| len from the replanted corn is then ready
to supply the silk, and the filling is COM
pleted. He says nearly all the abortiye
ears so common in all corn crops, is caus-
ed by want of pollen, and that he has
known ears to double their size in this
second filling,
INGRowING TOE NAH. This painful alb
normal condition of the toe-nall may be
cured by allowing the nail to continue to
grow without pairing it. The boot or shoe
will depress the nail at the end as it grows
longer. which will gradually elevate it at
the point where it presses upon and into
the soft tissues of the toe; thus removing
the irritation, the sore soon heals. This
is far preferable to the rash and painful
operation of tearing off the toe nail with
forceps.
To TAKE GREASE FROM PAPER. Gently
warm the parts containing the grease, and
apply blotting paper so as to extract as
much as possible Boil some clear essen
tial oil Of turpentine and applyit to the
warm paper with soft clean brush. A
little rectifed spirits of wine should be
put over afterward.
STUFFED BEEFsTEAK. Cut a thick slice
from the round, in shape as near an
oblong square as possible. Rub over il
salt and pepper to taste. Make stufing
of stale bread and fat salt pork; season
with salt, pepper, sage, etc. Roll 1t up IN
the steak; sew the edges of the slice to-
pether with strong twine so that none OF
the stufiag. may escape. Bake in quick
oven.
