A correspondent of the Dayton Journal
says from experience that the best way to
keep and handle fruit is in bushel boxes.
The last year | have procured about rs
many boxes us had bushels of winter fruit.
| take the boxes to the trees in picking time,
and lay the fruit from the trees into them
until full then put on the lid and haul care
fully and pile them in tiers in my cellar
from floor to ceiling. In this way can put
in a larger quantity of fruit in less room and
with less labor than in any other manner;
and find that the fruit not getting bruised
in handling keeps so much better than it does
in bins OF piles us to more than pay the ex-
pense of the boxes. If good boxes are pro-
cured, they will do to use many years. l
estimate the saving of fruit and labor to be
by this method, ut least twenty-five per
cent

PERCHERON AND NORMAN HORSES.

The French department of La Perche,
which gives its name to the breed referred to,
adjoins Normandy on the South and East.
The horses of the two districts are probably
of common origin, differing SO far us differ
ence exists, from the different modes of breed
ing employed THE best French horses, "
says Youatt, "are bred in Limousin and Nor
mandy. From the former district come
excellent saddle-horses and hunters, and
from the latter stronger species for the
road, cavalry service, and the carriage"
These latter are also the uses for which the
horses of La Perche have been bred You
att does not mention them in any way, and
they have begun to attract attention in other
countries only within II few years past. NJ
Du Hugs, the author of recent volume
about them, thinks that they, as well us the
horses of Normandy and Orleanais, derive
their type from the blood introduced at the
time of the Saracen invasion, coming from
Palestine and the east, and though he seems
to avoid any special reference to Norman
horses, or comparison with them, thisj Incl
dental remark apparently supports the state
ment with which we began, that they are
substantially the same, each including with
in itself, however, considerable difference in
size, weight and style, rs they have been
bred for various purposes, with different
crosses, and in localities varying somewhat
in pecuiarities of climate and herbage.-

HOW TO PRESERVE FRUIT TREES
FROM MICE.

Thousands of young trees are destroyed
annually by these little pestifcrous scamps.
They seldom fail to give me their compli-
ments, and in such manner, too, as to net
tie my temper just Il little. | have wrapped
my trees with paper and Irvine, plowed the
ground late in autumn, and cleaned the grass
carefully away from around the trees yet
those little thieves steal into my orchard and
garden, and very cooly girdle my choicest
trees. | put my wits to work to devise some
sure remedy that would be cheaply and
quickly done. Take equal parts of pine-tar
and tish-oil, mix together thoroughly by
warming then take brush and put on the
trees close to the ground and twelve or fif-
teen inches up around the body. 1t will not
injure the trees, and there will be no more
trouble with mice. l tried the experiment
on fifty trees, last winter, and it worked like
n charm. My trees were never more thrifty
than during the present season.-Boston

Being worker in the leather manufac-
ture, have constantly under my notice the
awkward manner in which the farming COM
munity take off the hides of animals of their
own slaughter. The hind leg, for instance,
being slit up along the under, or perhaps the
inner side, SO rs to leave the hook of the hide
IN the form of skull cap. AS upon being
brought into work, every part must be made
to lie flat, this portion. has to be opened by
cutting unsightly strips, which materially
impair its usefulness.
The following directions may assist the
novice in performing the operation:
We will suppose the animal dead and
placed on its back; the operator by thrusting
his knife point foremost and edge up, makes
II slit the entire length of the carcase, from
the chin over the center of the breast in the
line of the navel to the vent Let him now
stand by its side, with his face looking the
way the head lies, and taking the fore foot
in his left hand, run the point of his knife in
the line of the cleft of the foot and cap of the
knee, up the front of the leg, and into the
central slit Of the bosom. For the hind leg,
having reversed his position, let the slit be
made in the line of the heel, over the center
of the cap of the hook, down the back of the
ham into the central slit In this way the
hide, when spread out. will have square
form without long projections, and conse-
quently deep indentations of its outline

was an almost continuous plantation of wild
Strawberries growing, in many of the richer
spaces, not on horizontal vines, but on
high on which the clusters of this delicious
fruit attained size rarely reached by assid-
uous cultivation, So profllse was this native
production Of Strawberries on what is called
the Pembina mountains that the cart wheels,
crushing the berries as they revolved, were
perfectly red with the wild vintage of the
plains, and left long crimson trails, us of
blood behind them" "Wild vintage" is
very clever, but it must have been some
tame vintage that made raspberries APP
pear like strawberries.

POTATOES A CENTURY AGO.

Here is some information about the status
of potatoes II century ago: "This root increas
es prodigiously, and is very proper for feed
ing and fattening cattle. They are boiled in
water, and require but little boiling, though
they may have been kept two months in the
store. Cattle eat them raw, but for the table
they are wholesome boiled. / earnestly rec
ommend the culture of this plant to husband
men, MS it is not only excellent food for cat
tie, but good for man in years of scarcity.
After little use the taste becomes at least
us agreeable as turnips, and particular if the
potatoes are boiled with bacon and salt pork.
The consumption of them in the English Is
lands is astonishing, and many are eat in
some of the French Provinces. They yield
Il very white meal, which mixed with wheat
makes good bread. have eat it when there
was no more meal in it than was necessary
to make it rise"

TRAINING COLTS AND CALVES TO
LEAD.

The first attempt to discipline young ami
nal is to teach it to stand while tied, and to
lead with the halter. A calf should be taken
from the COW as soon as dropped, and tied
up; IL strap with buckle being placed
around its neck. A ring should be fastened
to the strap and light chain, with swivel
in it, fastened to the ring by means of II
snap-hook. The calf will not chew nor suck
the chain us it would IA strap or rope and
this annoying trick will not be learned. 1t
can turn about as it pleases without twisting
the chain and stranging itself 1t should be
led to the COW to suck twice a day for four or
five days, when it may be taught to drink
Patience will be required the first OF second
time in teaching it to lead. 1t should not be
dragged along, but should be managed with
judgment until it understands what is requir-
ed, when it will go along very readily. 1t
is desirable at times to lead heifer or COW,
and unless trained in this way when young,
difficulty is experienced in doing so. A colt

should be trained to remain tied up while
the dam is at work; it may be loosed when
turned to the mare ut night. Much after
trouble may be spared by preventing II colt
from running around and getting into mis-
chief, which it will readily do, by having u
halter for it and training it to lead.

TREATMENT OF FLESH WOUNDS.

Stop the bleeding by constantly applying
old water, or by bandaging the injured part
if it can be done; if these means fail, and
much blood continues to flow, it will be nee
cssary to tie the blood vessels, or to draw
them slightly out with pair of small for
cops, and twist them round several times
Remove all dirt, gravel, clots of blood, or
other substances that ought not to be in the
wound. Do this with cold water and u
sponge the fingers or forceps may have to
be used Bring the sides of the wound
together by stitches if the cut is extensive,
or lift be of consequence to leave no blemish,
as in wounds of the eyelds, nostrils, eye
brows, &c. The common way of stitching
or sewing Il wound is, or onght to be this :
Have crooked, flat needle, about three
inches long, armed with well waxed silk or
other strong thread; place the sides of the
wound closely together in the same position
us in health and let an assistant hold them
there. pass the needle through in the one
side from without inwards, at about quar-
ter OF haitian inch from the cut, and on the
other side bring it from within outward
Then draw the ends If the thread together
but not too tightly less the hold gives way
and tie with the common knot. At an inch
or so from the stitch place another in the
same way as the last and in this manner
the whole wound must be sown up.
Another mode of stitching is to bring the
wound together, and then to pass some pins
through its side at about the same distance
rs the threads. Then twist the middle of Il
long thread around the upper pin, in the
form of figure 8; bring the thread down to
the next pin and twist rs before; repeat this
with all the others, and then tie the thread
Apply some arnica lotion (three table spoon
fuls of the tincture mixed with Il pint of cold
water) to the wound several times II day.
Prevent inflammation by keeping the patient
and the wound resting us much as possible
by feeding on Lran-mashes, and, if there be
much fever present, by giving ten or fifteen
drops of tincture of aconite, in half an ounce
of water night and morning. But if intlam-
nation comes on, if the sides of the wound
becomes hard, swollen and painful, if thin
fluid flows out, then the stitches must be
taken away, and poultice applied ito the.
wound which beng now an open one, will
heal up from the bottom. -Practical Farmer
