Eirin. Farmers are not to be made Of
what is left after lawyers, doctors, minis.
ters and merchants are picked out, and
ii man fails on a farm, It is not likely
he will succeed In a store. for it requires
more talent to be a thriving flrmer than
to be an average merchant. The one
cause Of great failure is the disproprotion
between a mans farm and his capital.
A farmers capital is skill, labor and his
money. II he has lit;le cash, he must
have nomoreland than he can thoroughly
manage by his own personal labor. Ey-
cry acre beyond this is an incumbrance /;
one acre well worked is more profitable
than twenty acres skinned over. 1t is
this greed Of land by farmers that have

IL. Bat why should trampling the earth
destroy the trees? The reason is one Of
wide and important application to the
laws Of vegetable growth. The roots Of
plants need the air just as much a. the
leaves and branches. Their case is simi-
lar TO that Of fishes, which, though they
must have water, must have air also, viz:
just about as much permeates the water.
III 1t be all shut off, so that none which
is fresh can get to them, they will ox-
haust the supply on hand and then die
for the want Of more. so the roots of
trees and vegetables want air. When
the earth Is in a normal or natural condi-
ton, il isfull Of channels by which the air
gets to them. But If cattle are allowed
10 tramp down the earth, and the sun
aids the work by baking It at the same
time, a crust like brick is formed.

soon dwindles and dies. Soa tree cannot

1t is mistake to suppose that the
same rules apply to oyergreens as to decid.
uous trees. The latter may be ret out in
fill. Nor will they endure to be moved
very early in the spring, Ike other
trees. They are more tender and less te-
nacious of life. Many people overlooking
this fact have transplanted in early spring
and meet with Ill success, even when
great care has been taken.
The best time to transplant evergreens
is late in the spring, just at or before the
period Of active growth. Il is comrar-
atiyely easy TO move them at that time,
say towards the end of May, and no bother
time will answer as well. Another
caution is to be strictly observed, and
that is not to expose their soft tender roots
to the sun or drying wind. This is far
more important with eyergroons than
with other trees. Ten minutes exposure
of the roots to sun and wind is almost
certain death, Keep them covered with
moss or mating till ready TO set out.

Many farmers permit their working
horses and mich cows to remain out a,
night during the frosty weather; what do
they gain by it, save a few pounds Of hay:
Hay saved in that way is dearly bought.
Better stable the stock on cold frosty
nights without food, if they have plenty
Of good pasture through the day, than 10
expose them 50. The teaching Of the ag-
rieultural journals has been, and Is, that
to make the raising or keeping of stock
profitable, it must be kept comfortaL,e-
il must have plenty of good, wholesome
food, access to clean water, and protected
from extreme heat in summer BY shade
or shelter Of some kind, from storm at
any time, and from cold and piercing
winds during winter. 1t would be I'M
reasonable 70 expect that the system Of
a milch-aow would secrete the usual guam
tity Of milk in twelve or fifteen hours ex.
posed to a degree Of cold that would
make her SILVER, and in the meantime
supply the waste Of animal heat.

A question Of very great importance Is
that Of farm labor. Joseph Harris. in
the American Ag-iculiuis, discusses one
phase as follows;
We must make up our minds to nay
men as much for working on the farm
a. they can earn in other pursuits. II
they can get Sleeper day the year round
in a factory, or on a railroad, we must
furnish a similar compensation in one
form or the other on the farm. II we
only want men for six or eight months
and that during the busiest season. we
must be prepared to pay higher wages
than those who give constant employ
mcnt.
We shall never have reliable labor until
we make il worth a good mans while 10
stay with US year after year. And we
can do a great deal TO induce such men
to settle in the country by building and
renting small houses, or by selling an
acre or two of land to some steady mar
riod man who wants 10 own home of
his own. There are many such men who
would rather work on a farm than at any
other employment, who are absolutely
compelled to leave the country and 90
into the cities and villages bectuse they
cannot get house to live in--and, rs a
result, we frequently have to pay men
from 20 to 30 per cent. more a day than
they get in the immediate neighborhood
of city.
Farmers have this matter in their own 4
hands. They must either build houses, |
or sell land to those wishing to build. /
Every good, honest, industrious, married 4
man who settles in the country increases
The value Of farm property. The greater
the population, if Of the right kind, the
greater value of The land. We cannot
TOO often remember that il is labor and
not land that produces wealth. Il is a
oss to the community to have a man lie
die all winter. And in this country there
5 certainly no lack of employment for
my man who will work at reasonable
wages.

1t has come to be recognized among
horticulturi-tJ that pruning, while thC
branches Of trees are frozen, is not a good
practice. The bending Of limbs while in
this state often result in fracture, and
abrasions ia pnlling out pruned branches
often result in injury to the tree. Be
sides this, the evaporation from newly cut
surfaces oilen results in shriyeling the
buds on the branch below the surface.
Better defer the pruning until the
trees are free from frost. The cut sur
Eee,Sf possible, should be covered with
someaubstance to exclude the air and pre-
vent evaporation. A good simple coat
ing for this purpose Is thin paint Of
white lead and oil applied with small
brush 10 the cut surface.

whenever they stopped. lie said, and It
seemed to us very sensible, that the fire.
quent watering Of horses effected no good
purpose, while it made them very
uncomfortable and lethargic. Horses
no matter what their work was, did not
need watering oitener than three times a
day. Our own experience with horses
all our life is TO the same effect.
