FRUIT CrLTuEE.-The Conn
try Gentlea'o0 sums up . few lead.
ing points on fruit culture in the
following comprehensive remarks
]. Instead of "trimmiug" up
trees according to the old fashion, t.
make them long-legged and long,
trimmed, trim them down, so as to
make them even, snug and sym
mctrical.
9. Iustcad Of manuring in a small
circle. aad at the foot Of the tree,
spread the manure, ifnecded at all,
broadcast over the whole surface.
8. Instead Of spading a circle
about the stem, cultivate the whole
surface broadcast.
4. Prefer a wcll-pulverizel, clean
surface in an orchard, with a mod
crately rich soil, to heavy manuring,
and a surface covered with hard
crust and weclsor grass.
5. Remember that it is better to
set out ten trees with all the ncceS-
sary care to make them live and
flourish, than set ont 4 hundred
trees and lave them al die from
careleSsneSs.
y. Remember that tobacco is q
poison, and will kill insects rapidly
if properly applied to them, and is
one Of the best drugs for freeing
trees rapidly of small ycrmin and
is better used in this way than to
make men repulsive and diseased.
TREAT TIE Cows KINDLY
There are too many who cxlib-
it a roughnesS of treatment towards
the COW; and yet no animals are
more sensitive, or more quickly feel
the nnkindness shown them. They
can be made dccile and mild in
their dispositions or timil and wild,
just in accordance with the treat
ment they receive from the hcrder
and mixer; and it is a well-estab-
lished fact that COW will transmit
her disposition in great degree to
her progeny. A rough, quick-tem-
pered person should never be en-
ployed as a mixer and one who
will on any pretense whatever kick
or strike a COW, should be kicked in
turn, from the bamyard into The
street, and never be allowed to re-
turn. Gentleness will increase the
Of milk, sIas been shown
by change from cruel and ilascible
to one whopract.ced kindand
gentle treatment. It's an injury to
COWS to be driven faster than all
easy wax, to or from their pas
lures. To be urged on by thought
less boys, and these perhaps on
horseback, is to produce a fever and
heating Of the blood which is sure
to dry up or lessen the flow ofmilk.
Cows should always be made as
comfortable as possible, summer and
it pays to do it.
A CERTAIN Cure FOR EAR
AcuE.-We have recently seen sew
eral recipes published as beneficial
in case Of earache; but one who
has a severe attack of that malady
will, we think, soon find the ilef-
cheney of them all. There is, how
ever, one remedy which the expert
ence of twenty years has taught lis
is untailiug. We have seen it re-
peatedly tried in our own family,
md have frequently recommended
i to others, always with the same
satisfactory result. Nohouse should
DC without its bottle of arnica. 1t
$ indispensable in cases of cuts,
)urns, and bruises, and in All ear
lche it is a sovereign cure. As soon
as any soreness is felt in the car
which feeling generally preccdes the
regular "ache'' let three Or four
lrops Of tincture ofarnica be poured
in, and then the oriice filled with a
little cotton to exclude the air, and
in a short time the uneasiness Bis
forgotten. lfthe arnica is not re-
sorted to until there is actual pain
the cure may not be so speedy, but
it is Just as certain. If one appli-
cation of the arnica does not effect
a cure it will be necessary to repeat
It, it may be, several times. ]: is o
sure preventative ofgathering in the
ear, which is the usual cause OF
The earache.
