Hints about work.

What is aoork ?-We have said hare
| work IS the only remedy for hard times
BY hard work we do not mean necessary
back-breaking, understanding labor
A man might work very hard digging Q
garden that could just as well be plowed
or he might work hard breaking the Jumps
of manure on the land by hand that could
be just as well broken to pieces with a
harrow. We mean by hard work efIec-
tive work. We mean labor that tells. &
Hard York is doing what your reason
and your better judgment tell you ought to
DO done, and doing it promptly, at the
right time, whether you feel like It or not.
Laying plans and writing down what YOU
intend to do, and how to do it, is often
the hardest kind of work for farmer.
head ouer your Last of Things to be
Done.--H is no use LAYING plans unless
you carry them out. Read over what
you have written down. Make up your
mind what ought to be done first, and then
60 at it and stick to it until it is done.
Hiring Farm Men.--Make up your mind
how many men you will need, and if not
already done, hire them now for the sea-
son. Wages are high, and we must all try
to get along with as little help as possible.
The Best Men are the Cheapest. This is
true whether you board your men or let
them board themselves but it is specially
true in the former case. Better give q good
man $25 a month and board than q Door
man SIS and board. 1t is worth sl0 a
month to board man. One will cost YOU
s35 q month, and the other 1913, while
good, skillfal, reliable. experienced farm
hand will accomplish twice the work of the
stupid, careless man who cares nothing for
your interest and thinks about nothing but
his money and his dinner. "a .1t.ae "a.
Married Men are the most reliable.
Build good houses for them, and make it |
worth their while to stay with you year af-
ter year. =
Giue tile Boys Work, and take pains to
leach them. 1t is to this source that we
must look for our best farm men.
Furnish the Boys Good Iools.-Do not |
work them too hard. Do not impose upon |
them, and thus disgust them with farming. |
A boys sense of justice is very keen. Do |
not let the farm men order the boys about,
and make them run errands, and do all the
jobs. - '',.s''5 -.s.

FRUIT GARDEN.-If the farmers IN
this country only knew the comparatively
small cost that would enable them to sup
ply their tables with an abundance Of
the finer fruits, and the health and con-
tentment which the use of these fruits
would bring, many of them at least would
engage in their culture. Half an acre OF
ground near the house planted with some
of the best varieties Of small fruits would
be sufficient to give an ordinary family a
bountiful supply. A piece of ground
should be selected which has good soil,
which can be enriched by manure, and
the lighter work may be done by children.

Richmond Nurseries.

q.
The trade in fruit trees at Richmond il
immense. We copy from The Dispatch O
| yesterday morning statement Of the inn
mense trade of our enterprising neighbors
Franklin Davis & Co.: .as.b
Heretofore we have had something ia
say on the subject of the manufactures OF
Richmond and their extent. This morning
we devote some of our space to notice OF
the nurseries Of Richmond, for which this
locality has been so long famous. Indeed,
the reputation which our fruit-trees have
gained all over the United States demands
q special mention at this time. Enterprise
ing men have taken hold of the business,
and it is being. successfully carried on.
| The climate and soil of this vicinity is
specially adapted to the culture of young
trees, and in this neighborhood they attain
to such growth and perfection by the time
for transplanting that they rarely fail to
live.
The first are the Richmond Nurseries,
of which Messrs. Franklin Davis & Com
pany are the proprietors. They are situ-
ated on the Brook turnpike, one and half
miles from the city, and contain four hum
bred acres Of land. Two hundred in
nurseries, one hundred in orchards, and
one hundred in small fruits. The number
of orders which this firm has filed during
the past year was $4,000. In filling these
they sent out AGO. 900 apple trees, so, 900
pear trees; $4,000 cherry trees; 5000
plums 15O, 900 peaches 5000 apricot;
2, 400 nectarines; $500 ounce; 100000
grape; 147 900 strawberry; $500 rasp-
berry; 1900 blackberry 1880 goose

apples in all varieties, $500 to Pennsylva-
MIA and ], 1000 to Reading, Massachusetts,
2 400 to New York city for transhipment |
to Maine. The bulk Of these apple trees,
however, were sold in Maryland, Virginia, |
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, North
and South Carolina, and largely in Alaba-
ma /; indeed as many as twenty carloads
were shipped to the last named state. But
the states of Georgia, Texas and Tennessee
were also large purchasers from these
The apples which appear to be
most popular in New York are the Falla-
water and Johnson's Winter. OF these
varieties large number of trees have been
shipped.
In Pennsylvania, Johson's Winter APP
