FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. Tho follow

should govern well regulated farm:
| when fruit trees occupy the ground,
nothing else shcud-except very short
grass.
,. FruiIfulness and growth of tho tree
cannot be expected the same year.
3. There is no plum that the curcul;
will not take, though any kind may some
tunes escape for one year in one place.
1. The best time to prune fruit trees il
in the month of June.
3. Pear blight still puzzles the greatest
men. The best remedy known is to plant
two for every one that dies.
q. Ii you don't know how to prune,
don't hire a man from the other side of the
sen who knows less than you do.
I. Don't cut off big lower limb un.
less you are renter and don't caro- what

Training a Heifer.


We find the following IN an exchange
unaecrcdited, which may be OF benefit
to our dairymen in training their heif-
ers. Cows, says the writer, usually be-
come addicted to kicking when heifers,
from being MIXED by abusive mixers.
I have never seen an old COW become a
kicker unless abused. Instead of COWS
being Averse to being MIXED when Civ
ing large quantity, I have eyer found
it the reverse. When pasturage is
good. and COWS come home at night
with udders distended with milk, our
down East cows seem grateful to
have it removed. Milking a heifsr for
the first time requires patience, for they
will almost invariably kick. In such a
case put a board strap around her
body, just in front Of the udder, and
buckle "TRIP moderately tight, and so
soon as she gets down (for she may
dance around a little at first), take your
pail, sit down, and 60 to milking, for
she is as helpless, as a kitten. Do not
attempt 70 use a rope instead OF strap,
for it viii not answer. This is much
better method than tying the leg, as It
does not hurt the animal In the least.
A few applications of the strap, with
plenty OF patience and kindness, viii
cure the most obstinate case.
