of health or economy. Many OF our garden
vegetables are great Injuries. They can be
bad cheaply and fresh only in the farmers
own garden. Radishes, rhubarb, celery, as
paragns, rawberrIes and the smaller fruits
generally, ought to be cultivated to much
greater extent than they are, and cons uU ed
more extensively in every farm RS family

melons, and va plumber Of other plants

Of these vegeta bles would reduce the butch

important articles, and the means Of lniOr-
nation in regard to all these crops are 80
easily within reach Of all, that there should
be no hesitation in attempting their culture

raised them. If any farmer has neglected

FRUIT CULTURE Old Errors Corrected
Instead of 9 trimming up trees, according
10 the old fashion, to make them lOng-legged
and long armed, trim them down, so as to
make them even snug and symmetrical.
Instead Of manuriDg heavily in small cir
Gle at the foot of the tree, spread the manure
if needed at all, broadcast over the whole
surface 3 Instead of spading small circle
about the stem, cult vate the whole surface
broadcast. 4. Prefer a well pulverized clean
surface in an orchard with a moderately rich
soil, to heavy manuring, and a surface COW
cred with a hard crust and weeds or grass
5. Remember that it is better to t out ten
trees with all the necessary care to make
hem live and flourish than to set out
hundred trees and have them all die from
carelessness. 6. Remember that tobacco is a
poison, and will kill insects rapidly if proper
ly applied to them, and is one of the best
drugs for freeing fruit frees rapidly of small
vermin-and is better used in this W ay tina
to make men repulsive and diseased.

LEECHEs.-The universal use of leeches
in surgery gives a great Importance to
their propagation, in the few places where
they are raised. They are natives of
England, Spain, Germany, and France,
anb it is in the latter country that they
are made an object of cultivation. On
the Landes, near Bordeaux, they are bred
by hundreds of thousands, the wasted
forms of morlbund cattle being put into
the marshes to supply them with nouris-
ment. a COW Is used by preference for
this purpose, as, when the poor wretch is
braided of her blood, she can be given to
the meadow where there is good feed. and
will rapidly recover to furnish fresh
supply; whereas horses and asses sink
under the attacks. The inhabitants of
the country round the beautiful bay of
Arcachon follow this trade largely, and
send as many as 100000 leeches to
Bordeaux in year.

Power of short Words.
BY ADDISON ALEXANDER, D. D.

Think not that strength lies il. the big round
word,
Or that the brief and plain must needs be
weak.
To whom can this be true who once has
heard
The cry for help, the tongue that all men
speak,
When want or woe or fear is in the throat,
So that each word gasped out is like
shrek
Pressed from the sore heart, or a strange
wild noie,
Sung by some fay or fend There is
strength
Which dies if stretched too far or spun too
FIRE,
Which has more height than breadth,
more depth than length,
Let but this force of thought and speech be
mine,
And he that will may take the sleek, fat
phrase,
Which CLOVIS and burns not, though it gleam
and shine
Light but not heat-a fash but not
blaze
Nor is it mere strength that the short word
boasts,
1t serves of moro than fight or storm to
tell,
The roar Of waves that clash on rock bound
coasts,
The crash of tall trees when the wild
winds swell,
The roar Of guns. the groans OF men that die
On blood stained fields. 1t has a voice as
well
For them that far off on their SICK beds lie,
For them that weep, for them that mourn
the dead /;
For them that laugh and dance and clap the
hand
t. joys quick step, well as grief's low
tread.
The sweet, plain words we learnt at first keep
time,
And though the theme he sad or gay, or
grand
With each, with all, these may be made to
chime,
In thought, or speech, or song, in prose
or rhyme.
