No time is now lost by the intelligent gar
dener in preparing for the fall and winter
garden. This month, to all who wish to
turn their garden to the best possible ac-
count by keeping it constantly occu-
pied with some valuable growing crop, must
be regarded as a second January, and pre-
pared and planted accordingly. But with
this difference, however, that now differ
ent class Of fertilizers must be used and
vegetables Of somewhat varying species and
varieties. Ruta bagas, mangold wurtzel,
kohlrabis, early and late cabages, cauli-
flower, broccoli, endive, carrots, parsnips,
celery, lettuce, ETC., may now be sown, and
if well cultivated will come 70 the utmost
perfection by winter. A second planting

Do not plant trees directly in front of the
house. The ground here, especially the
central part, should be in grass alone, kept
neat and smooth by frequent moving. A
few flower beds may be cut in the sod, near
the dwelling, or by the side of the pathway,
and a few trees and shrubs set irregularly
near the fence, to give shade and shelter,
and still more at the side of the house, es-
pecially where they viii screen from view
the back yard, stable, ETC., and form a back
ground to the view of the premises from the
street. Do not plant so many trees about
the house as to exclude the sunshine. Too
much shade is q common fault with the older
class of residences and careful observation
will show that families in such homes are
much more liable to sickness than those
living in houses where sunshine and air
have free scope. Modern science has done
good service in teaching the value of sun
shine and dry Garth as disinfectants or pre-
ventives of disease. The greatest improve
ment could be made in the looks as well as
healthfulness of many good residences of
the older class by the free use of the wood
mans axe. Do not plant growing
trees in small yards, nor tall-growing trees
ncAr low dwellings.
Most of our village doOr-yards are quite
small, and when filed up, as is often the
case, with few large trees, they appear far
more diminutive than they would be planted
with shrubs or dwarf trees; and the low
statute of our older style of houses is doubly
conspicuous where tall trees are seen, tower
ing higher than the cornice. For small
yards and for cemetery lots the dwarfish
and slOw-growing evergreen trees are most
appropriate, and quite variety of these
can now be had at all good nurseries, but
such kinds as the Norway spruce and Aus
trian pine, heretofore too commonly planted
should be only used in large grounds, and
for screens and wind breaks. But tlIOs,
who already have these and other free-grow
ing trees planted in small lots, can check
their growth and improve their premises by
removing them from central position t
one side; OF, if too large for removal, by
cutting off the top and clipping the side
annually, and, if too thrifty, cutting of
some of the roots. Do not plant or tolerate
apple or peach trees in the front yard Pea
and cherry trees are more symmetrical, and
a few of these may be allowed on the sid.
of front grounds, but the apple and peacl
usually look shabby, and should occupy
back premises with the cabbage and curran
bush. Good residences are often rendered
unattractive to an eye of taste by OLD
gnarled apple trees, standing as grim senti
nels, where should be cheerful evergreen
and smiling roses.-Ohio Farmer.

Indians visited Gholson's rancho on
Home creek, in the southern or middle por-
ton Of this county, on Wednesday night
last, and examined the premises, tore down
a great desl of fence and did other mis-
chief. The mules and horses, four in num-
Der, were cOrrelled near the house. finding
that they could not steal them ut night,
they concealed themselves near the house
until the Saturday following, when the
mules were let out to Craze, they deliber-
ately and in broad day, before the eyes Of
the rancheros, drove off every hoof on the
premises.
On Monday following they visited the
dwelling Of Mr.. Williams living ON some
creek near the southern line of Coleman

Mr.. Flint, author Of aMilch Cows and
Dairy Farming, in answer to a question at
the last winter meeting of the Vermont
Dairymen's Association, said that the
Ayreshier as race, as a class of animals,
was not SO much butter breed as a milk
bread. They would give more milk of q
high quality in proportion to the food
which they consumed than any other race he
knew of, but the butter would not be SO
highly colored as that of the Jerseys, the
Brittanys. or other similar breeds. But
the milk was Of q very good quality; q
more nutritive milk to feed to children than
the milk of the Jerseys, but it did not make
so much butter, nor of so high a color;
and would not bring so high price in the
market, even if it was made equally well.
