Shrinkagc Of Grain.

We have recently had an instance Of a
great loss Of grain by shrinkage when it is
kept little time The writer had quauti-
ty carefully measured and put up in sacks.
1t remained in a cool barn in this way for
three months. When the sacks were first fill
ed the mouths could scarcely be tied, they
were so full. At the end of three months,
there was apparently plenty Of room for more.
For curiosity some Of it was remeasured, and
it was found that two quarts per bushe had
fallen away. This is loss Of about seven
per cent. The place where the seed was
kept was very untayorable to waste There
was no heat or wind to dry it up, aud it may
be taken as the very lowest percentage Of
loss. We have no doubt that, under other
circumstances the loss by saving six months
may often reach as high as twenty per cent.
These things should be considered by those
who are inclined to hold on for the chance Of
a rise.
Another consideration strikes one here.
People often complain because they get short
weight or measure. No doubt this is too
often the case but it is likely that in some
instances the difference is as much in shrink.

The Compost Heap.

There is DO garden but what, during the
season, furnishes more or less of waste mat
ter in the shape Of weeds, leaves, grass, etc,
etc, and no kitchen but what has valuable re-.
fuse in the shape Of chamber ley, ETC., etc.,
and then there is no garden or grass plot but
that each year may be benefited By applying
well decomposed manurial substances to the
soil, Let every owner Of garden, then, put
this and that together and 20 at once to the
work Of forming compost heap. Gather
some sods to form the base, then throw on
from day to day all the soap.suds chamber
ley, etc, from the house, aud all the ashes,
the weeds, clippings of grass-borders, ETC.,
etc, and sprinkle the whole once a week with
plaster paris Add more sod when conven-
lent, and as soon as the heap has become two
feet high OF so, turn it all over and mix it
up with the spade. This course pursued dur
ing the summer would give each and every
small garden, lawn or flower bed well de-
composed manure for the coming years growth
that would more than compensate for the
little trouble and labor Of this item, so much
needed and so much neglected - Ciereiaad

Watering Newly Set Trees.

great mistake is sometimes made by
drenching the roots of newly set trees, when
they do not start to grow as soon as the owner
desires The ground becomes sodden, and the
roots water.soaked, to their serious injury.
Trees never want much water till the leaves
open. When covered with foliage, tree
pumps water out Of the soil and dissipates it
in the air at least twenty times faster than
bare branches, Some young trees, and espe-
cially pear trees, often remain fresh and alive
for several weeks, without opening leaves ;
and in such case OF when the stem is slightly
shriyeled, nothing is better than to tie a lit.
| tie long straw around it, and wet this straw
daily. The moisture is absorbed precisel,
where it is wanted at the bark and youn.
trees that appeared hopeless in condition hav,
been thus restored to vigorous growth in
few weeks. As general rule never waite
the roots Of young trees, but depend on main
tanning the moisture of the soil by cleal
mellow surface, and if necessary at mid,um
mer by mulchiug. Watering gives at best al
intermitting supply, hardens or crusts tn,
surface and commonly does much more harm
than good Country Gentleman.

walton, bushes grown from their own roots
should be procured. They should be planted in
rich mellow soil, where the sun shines all the
day. Once year they should be pruned
and coat of manure be put upon the ground
around them, This treatment causes a large
amount of new wood to form, and as the
flowers are Oh this young wood, the bushes
consequently blossom profusely There are
several insects that work more or less upon the
leaves. OF these the most destructive is small
slug or worm, that eats the yarnish that nature
has spread upon the upper side Of the leaf
causing bushes to look often much as though
the fire had singed them. These little enemies
should be met and conquered at once, as soon
as they make their appearance A sure re.

about two ounces into six gallons of water, and
with brush broom give the bushes a sprink.

both sides. 1t may possibly require two or
three applications. BY this experiment find
1t easy to protect several hundred bushes, and
have them in blossom-lhat is, my perpetual
blossomers-all the season, until the irosts of
