ORCHARD TREES.-Scraping the dead
bark from orchard trees will add much to their
good appearance, and induce a healthy growth
the coming summer. A small triangular plate
Of steel attached to handle two or three feet
long Is the best implement. Any village black
smith can easily make one which will answer
quite as well as those sold at the stores. Trees
from which branches have bean broken oil by
storms or ice should have the wound cut
smooth, and coat of shellac varnish or melted
grating wax applied TO their surfaces to prevent
decay from moisture. If new orchards are TO
be planted, the trees should be obtained as
soon as possible. Due regard, Of course, IN ust
be had in the selection of the very best varie.
ties, using only those which are known to be
good and abundant bearers. Select also with re-
ference to having succession from earliest to
the latest, If intended for family use.-Agri-
cuftiuist.

WHAT RUlNFD FARMER ERowN,

Well, wife, tie .nl has G. 'na at last! Gid hr-
mer Brown Is dead;
The neighbors toaud him in his house stretched
stiff and cold In bed:
Beneath the rags thai covered him, held firm
In deaths hug, s-T.7
They found with every drop drained out, his
old, brown whisky jug.
How sad to live life like his How SAD like
him TO diei
Alone, in deserted house, M friends or kim
drcd nigh.
To stagger down from manhood TO the gloomy
rivers brink,
The hapb mess Of earth and heaven sacrifice
to drink!
and what was farmer Brown, dear wife, few
short years ago?
An honest, toiling, sober man; kind TO both
friend and foe;
There was no better tarm than his In all the
neighborhood;
Well fenced, well watered and well titled; the
barns and houses good.
His wife was happy and content, singing from
morn to night,
For everything upon the farm and the house
went light,
Until the tempter came, and said, "You have
much goods In store,
Now eat and drink rich farmer Brown, let toll
ing days be DER"
He listened to the tempter, and that was his
great sin,
He hired men to SOW the seed. and reap the
harvest in,
He left off following the rlow, he gave all worl
frown,
Aud hitching up his finest horse, lie drove oil
to the town.
Men put him up for.otiict, and learned him al
the tricks
That constitute Il scholar IN the school of poll
tics;
This brought him often TO The bar where wills
ky is the thing,
Aud another strong Goliah fell a victim to the
sting
From that date things went downward, as by
whirlwind's arm,
And Brown was soon a drunkard upon ruin
The fences down, leaky house, no crops tt
gather i'll;
No goods in store for future want, III spacious
barn or bin.
One cold and dreary autumn, when the leave.
were falling down,
His wife died, broken-hearted, and was burie,
by the town;
IT'S well there is an after life, made up Of per
feet bliss,
For broken-ne weary wives, who find M
joy in this.
And now an end has come at last, rs it dot.
To all who bind upon themselves he crue
chains Of rum;
He left his work to Others, for the bar-ro0m il
the town,
And that, dear wife, was surely what ruinet
farmer Brown.
