IMPORTANCE OF SAVING SEED FROM
EARLY FRUIT.-The temptation of
growers for market to sell the earliest
at a large price is SO great, that little
seed is saved except from those ma
turing later; doubtless under the i'm
preston that the seed is just rs good.
But this is a great mistake. The seed
from the fruit which -ipens earliest
are best the next year. There is no
doubt that the tomato has been vastly
improved by careful culture (and can
be still further) in the desirable quail
ties of carliness, productiveness, size,
solidity, fewness of seed, beauty OF
form, thinness of skin, dclicacy of fla
vor and richness of color. And a
similar Improvement may be made in
all other vegetables and fruits.

This advice needs to be repeated dali
~. Every farmer knows that . hill
Vf corn or potatoes will not amount
to much unless cultivated, and yet
there arc many who will neglect to
give the same care 10 . tree, which Is
worth 3 hundred hills Of either fthe
former. In rich soils, trees may grow
rapidly without cultivation, and no
amount of grass or weeds will retard
them; but there are other things be-
sides growth to DO looked after. II
tho weeds and grass arc allowed TO
grow up around the stems Of apple,
peach or ounce trees, the bark will
become soft near thcir base by being
shaded, and thereby be in a suitable
condition for the reception of the
eggs which will eventually become
peach or apple borers. Take any do
zen young applc-trees, in actions
where the apple-trce borcr is album
dant, and allow portion to be chok-
ed with weeks, and the remainder
well cultivated, and then watch the
result. From our own experience we
believe that the chances arc nino to
one In favor OF those cultivated being
free from the pest. The same is true
in regard to many other trees which
are liable to tho attacks of various
species of insects. Young evergreens
should never hare their lower bran.
ches shaded with weeds and grass
and the soil as far rs the lower bran
ches extend should be stirred at least
once in two or three weeks during
the entire summer, or else apply some
kind Of mulchihg that will effectually
keep down the weeds. When the
trees become large and strong, these
precautions will not be necessary
Every. blade of grass or small weed
that is allowed to grow about the
stem of young trees will rob the soil
of moisture, and this fact alone ought
to be sufficient to make every one
practice thorough and careful cul-
ture.--HearM and Home.

VALUABLE RECIPES.

CoLoRINa REcIPEs.-If Nellie, OF
Ogle county, Ills, will use the follow
ing recipes for, coloring wooden green
and scarlet, she cannot fail of having
good substantial colors. For the
green take three ounces alum, one
half pound fustic, two ounces curcu-
ma, one tablespoonful blue compound
to each one pound of goods; boil the
fustic in enough water to cover the
goods, and strain it, add tic other in
gradients, and bring it to a boiling
heat; rinse in clear water. To color
scarlet, for one pound of goods take
two. ounces cOchineal, one ounce
cream tartar, one ounce qucrcitrOn
bark, 0ne-half ounce curcuma, two
ounces madden compound; put all
the ingredients, except the madden
compound, into enough water to coy-
er the goods, bring it to boiling
heat, add the compound, and put in
the goods; let it stand until You have
the color required. If you want q
bright, pretty crimson, color your
goods u strong madden first, and then
in the cochineal dye.-M. E. c., Onei-
da Co., New York, 1870.
To Color SCARLET Take soft wa
ter enough to cover the cloth, bring
to a boiling heat i'm a copper or brass
kettle; then add one and half oun-
ces of cream tartar for every pound of
cloth. Boil q minute or two and then
add two ounces of powdered lac and
three ounces of madden compound
The lac and compound must be mixed
in an carthen bowl. Boil few min
utcs more; wet the yarn with warm
water and wiring out; put I'm the dye,
boil an hour, and rinse with cold wa
ter.--MRs. K. w.
TO PICKLE RED CABBAGE.--Sclect
solid heads-small, hard ones arc bet
ter than loose ones, but any kind will
do-trim and quarter them, (unlcss

each whole cloves, from ten to TWEEN
ty in q quarter; add any other spices

kind will do. When done, keep them

other pickles. 1t is q good plan to
pickle in the fall for winters use, and
then in the spring to last till May or
June. This is better than canning or
choppjng mp, in my opinion; and it
is simple. The pickle is not bad to
sharpen up the appetite.-YANKEE.

BEES BENEFICIAL TO FRu1r.-Dl

BEES BENEFICIAL TO FRUIT.-Dr.
A. Packard, editor of the American
Naturalist, replies to a query in re-
gard to the effects produced upon fruit
by bees, that all the evidence given
by botanists and biologists who have
specially studied the subject, shows
that bees improve the quality and tend
to increase the quantity of fruit. They
aid the fertilization of flowers, thus
preventing the occurrence of sterile
flowers, and, by more thoroughly fer
tilizing flowers already perfect, rem
der the production of sound and we'll
developed fruit more sure. Many
bOtanisis think If it were moi. for bees
and other insects, many plants would
not bear fruit at all.

CoTToN MANUFACTUREs.-I Mis-
sissippi manufactured all the cotton
produced within the States confines,
its wealth would be almost incalcula-
BILE. In 1869 the crop exceeded one
million bales, worth about $50, 0O0, 600.
During the same year Massachusetts,
manufactured 316,665 bales, realizing
36,500OO0 In other words, Massa-
chusetts, by manufacturing less than
one-third of the cotton produced by
Mississippi, realized very nearly the
same amount of cash income, and if
Mississippi had manufactured all her
cotton crop, the income to the State,
for the year, would have been enc

thirty-ninc millions.-Memlphis Ap-

To REJuvINATE AN OLD GRAPE
VINE.-Thc editor of the Practical
Farmer says: Having on our prem
Uses, planted by former owners, pro-
badly twenty-five years ago, half doz-
Ell old grape vines with large wealth
er-beaten trunks or stems, which
made annually but littlo new wood
and yielded but very poor grapes !;
two seasons ago we cut of the branch
es, covering the ground around the
vines with about foot Of fresh earth.
Vigorous and fresh shoots sprung up
in great abundance-the weak ones of
which were broken of, and leading
ones at proper distances trained to
the arbor. The new growths are very
clean, healthy and strong, sufficient
entirely to cover the large arbor the
present season; we look for bushels
offruit from the new bearing wood.
We see old grape vines everywhere,
doing no good, which could be made
young and thrifty by this process.

DISEASES OF THE BLOOD.


"The life of the flesh is in the Blood" is a
Scriptural maxim that science proves TO be
true. The people talk of bad blood as the
cause of many diseases, and like many popu-
lar opinions this Of bad blood is founded in
truth.
The symptoms of bad blood are usually quite
plain-bad digestion-causes imperfect nutri-
ton, and consequently the circulation is feeble,
the soft tissues loose their tone and elasticity,
and the tongue becomes pale, broad and fire.
quently covered with pasty, white coat. This
condition soon shows itself in roughness Of the
skin, then in eruptive and Lucrative diseases,
and when long continued results in serious
LESSONS of the brain, liver, lungs or urinary APP
paratus. Much, very much, suffering is caused
by impure bloo1. 1t is estimated by some that
fifth Of the human family are effected with
scrofula in some form.
When the blood is. pure you are not 50 liza

blood arise from impure diseases Of large
cities. Eradicate every impurity from the foun-
tain of life, and good spirits, fair skin and vita
