Culture Of Fruit Trees.

In the recent admirable address Of
President Wilder at Richmond, Ylr-
GINA, before the American Pomo-
logical Society, We perceive that he
fully s~ustains, as the result of con-
tinued experience, the importance
ofgood clean culture, and opposed
to the old practice Of allowing young
orchards to grow to grass. lie re-
marks, at seems that thorough pre-
paration and enrichment Of such
soils as are not already rich, is es-
sential. Ordinary farm culture
will not produce the highest class
Of fruits; they must have garden
culture, and with this they never
fail. After thorough preparation,
the cleaner the culture the better, at
least in the older States, where the
soils have been depleted by crop
ping" This is the practice which
we have repeatedly especially
for young orchards, for more than
thirty years; yet even now, many
fine newly set orchards are injured
or ruined by being set out and al
lowed to stand in grass. There are
few instances in the east, and fire.
quent ones at the west, where the
soils are 50 rich naturally after few
years growth, it is well to check the
Iu1urance by seeding to gross-al-
ways observing as a guide or index
in the course of treatment to be
adopted, the length Of grouh Of the
annual shoots. This index serves as
a better guide than all the disquisi-
tions and arguments, pro and con,
that would fill a volume, without it.
Grass in full grown orchards, (es-
pecially if cropped short and top
dressed by sheep running in Them
which does not prevent the trees
from growing a foot or two annual
ly, may be admitted; but if the
growth is feeble, keep the surface
clean.

chickens are raised in glass hot
houses or in any kind of houses or

dig the snow away from the coops
several times in one season, and
brush places for them to be placed on,
which is quickly done by having a
spare coop, and going from one to
the other with a basket and by
ten or twelve o'clock the whole Of
the broods, from thirty to forty
coops, would be seen as brisk as
bees, a dozen or more at each coop,
reaching to meet the feeder.
The feed requires variation, and
should be given every two or three
hours-say one day scalded meal at
7, wheat or barly at 8, cracked corn
at II, liver or other meat, chopped
fine, at 2, and bread sopped in
milk, with oats, or any dry grain,
at 4, and then shut up. Next day,
egg shells broken fine, mixed with
the mornings first meal, and give
one feed Of some kind Of sprouted
grain in about such a stage as malt
is made, and vary his feeding as
convenient, and as the chickens
seem to prefer one form to another

Spring Chickens.

Very early spring chickens are
generally dear, and pay eztraordi-
narily well for raising, and they are
much easier brought through the
cold weather of the latter part of
February and March than people
suppose, and as practical knowledge
is worth more than aught else, what
I am going to say can be done, and
has been accomplished extensively
by the writer and his better half.
Having little birds, rather larger
than pigeons, sell for seventy-five
cents each April and May, giving q
dollar per couple clear profit, is
making money fast enough to salts
fly reasonable people. The way to
do it is to have the hens all comfort
ably lodged in Q warm roost by the
LIST January. Have some nice, snug,
warmly situated nests in a place
near the roost for the hens to lay in,
and contrive that they can 60 to
and from it without going out into
bad weather, and if they have been
well fed they will be laying when
the new year begins, and if Brahma
blood is in them (half will do) they
will set by the end of the month
after Matching, put them in coops
which can be closed and made dark
by fastening up afront board-then
in bad weather the chickens can be
fed by letting down the board, and
be shut up again as soon as they
have eaten, which will cause the hen
to sit still and nurse them till they are
fed again /; have no bottoms to the
coops and move every day, putting
dry fine straw, or any kind Of litter,
under the coop when the ground is
wet, but in moderate weather, or
whenever dry, let them be on the
sod. Keep the hen confined until
the chickens are q month old, unless
unusually mild, and let these coops
be on a slope facing the South, and
away from the haunts of the old
There are many days in

Oiling Harness.

Harness should be washed and
oiled once in six months after it is
commenced being used. II it is
neglected for years, and becomes
hard, it is next to impossible to
make it soft and pliable as harness
should be to wear well and be easy
for the horse. Harness leather is tan
ned from oak and hemlock-some-
times from mixture of both. Oak
makes the softest leather, and is
more durable and agreeable for har-
ness work, it being from one to four
pounds lighter in a harness of the
same appearance. To oil a harness
properly, take every strap apart, as
far as practicable, and put in a tub
Of warm soap suds (if it soaks
through all the better), thoroughly
wash, and with q stiff brush, or 9TH
erwise, remove all gum and dirt.
If any repairing is needed, now is
the time to do it. The best oil to
use is neatsfoot; if this cannot be
obtained, liver, or tanners oil, as it
is sometimes called, may be used.
l am aware that other oils or
greases are used, bnt 1 do not be-
lieve in their efficacy; OF least 1 nev-
er knew a tanner to use other than
the oils named, and 1 used to be
conyersant with the modes of man
ufacturing leather.
Upon a bench or board placed in
q handy position, lay out the strap
to be oiled straight, and with a
common paint brush apply the oil
to the entire surface and edges of
the strap. The appearance of the
harness will be benefited by the ad-
dition Of a little lampblack, and the
oiling should be commenced as soon
as the water has dried from the out
side Of the leather; at least the leath-
er should not be more than half dry
when the oil is applied. Now a
good freeze, of your wet or partially
wet leather will greatly tend to soft
en- your oftimes neglected and stiff
ened leather, and add greatly to its
value. The principles are: freezing
wet leather softens it, and that the
oil goes in as the water goes out, just
what the currier aims to do in the
manufacture Of Ahe leath Q When
the harness is sufficiently dry, wipe
it off well with a cloth, to remove
the excess of lampblaCk, buckle up,
and the job is done for six months.

How He Looked.

A person in Maryland, who was
addicted to drunkenness, hearing a
considerable uproarin his kitchen
one night, had the curiosity to step
without noise to the door to know
what was the matter, when he
found his servants indulging in the
most unbounded roars of laughter
at a couple of negro boys who were
mimicking himself in his drunken
fits-as how he reeled and stagger-
ed how he looked, and nodded,
and hiccoughed, and tumbled. The
pictures which these children of
nature drew of him, and which
had filled the rest with such in
exhaustiblc merriment, struck him
with so salutary adisgust that from
that night he became a perfect sober
man, TO the joy of his wife and
children It's pity some other
men could not see themselves i'm
itated in like manner. 1t might do
them good by making them dis
gusted with themselves.--M. Y.

Lnssitude and DebiIIty.

The relaxation OF nervous energy which
creates an indisposition to physical or men
tai effort, so strong as almost to amount to
positive inability, and which we term laSsi-
tude, proceeds from a variety OF causes.
The principal Of these are constitutional
debility, heat OF the atmosphere, coupled
with humidity, climatic changes, and the
physical prostration consequent upon a
long illness. But whatever the cause, 1t
must be perfectly clear hat IL the nervous
system is unduly relaxed, something is rG-
Qulred to brace 1t up. That something Is
nostetter's Bitters, which Is universally
recognized as the most complete and speedy
recuperant Of the physical forces in e&ls-
tence. 1t has been 80 thoroughly ana wide
ly demonstrated as to be n matter OF posi-
live certainty and familiar knowledge,
that the Bitters will not only rehaOilltate
the physique, when shattered and wasted
by disease, but will also, If taken systemat-
ically, actually compensate the constllu-
tionally feeble frame for Its deficiency OF
strength, and by enfuSiug new life into u
weak system, endow It with the health and
vigor which nature has denied 1t. The Bit
tiers also enable the body to resist tho ener-
waiting influences of heat, humidity, and
changes from q temperate to a hot climate.
II Is IN these accounts specially to be rec
commended to travellers and residents IN the
tOrrid zone, and persons subjected to abrupt

A curious business has sprung up
in'London to reduce the price in
telegraphing to distant points. The
charge to India, for instance, is
ninety shillings for twenty words,
and the address is included. A
firm in London agreed to take and
forward all messages at ten shillings
a word, more or less. The address
will generally use from six to ten
words, and frequently messages
need consist Of only two Of three
words if cipher has been agreed
upon. The message packers" as
they are called, have their own CT
pher, and send all their messages
to their oNn agents in Calcutta. In
q twenty-word message they may
thus send, in some cases, as MANY
as ten separate messages, receiving
from their customers ten pounds.
and making a proft'of five pounds
TN shillings. Their customers, on
the other hand, have paid alto.
gether but ten pounds for What,
under ordinary circumstances,
would have cost them forty-one
pounds. The telegraph company
pockets all loss. At the recent tele-
graph conference in Rome this was
discussed among other topics, but
no way could be found to suppress
the practice.
