Asefal aud Curious.


Rf0nb = ~
Lovely June has come, and tho delicious straw
berry will be found in succession by other berries
and fruits, until the Fall, showing at once the
wisdom and beniiicence of our common Father.
How to use them wisely, and thus derive the
fullest advantage of that benihcence, 1t IS worth
while to know. The earlier in the day fruits are
eaten the better: they should be ripe fresh and
perfect and eaten in their natural state, with
the Important advantage Of its being almost int
possible to take TOO a,amy; their healthful quail
ties depend on their ripe acidty, but If sweetened
with sugar the acidity is not only ncutrailxed,
but the stomach IL tempted to receive more than
it is possible TO digest, and II cream Is taken with
them, the labor Ut digestion 10 increased: hence
the fearful attacks Of cholera morbus which
sometimes follow the free use Of fruits and ber-
ries with sugar and cream. -
No liquid Of any description should lie drank
within hour after eating fruits nor should any
thing else be eaten within two or thn.e hours af-
ter-thus, time leing allowed for them 10 pass out
of the stomach, thesy stem derives from them all
their enlivoning, cooling. and opening Influences
The great rule is, eat fruits and berries while
fresh, npe, and perfect, in their natural state,
without eating or drinking anything for ut least
two hours afterwards. With these restrictions,
fruits and berries may be eaten in moderation
during any hour Of the day, and without getting
tired Of them, ceasing to be benefited by them
during tho whole season. IL is great waste of
luscousness that fruits and berries, in their nat
ural stste, are not made the sole desert Of our
meals, for fhree-fourths Of the year: human en-
joyment and health, ard even life would be
prompted by it.-Hdlrs Journal Of Health.

June and July are good months for removing
large limbs from fruit and shade trees. The sap
is now i'm y right condition to form new wOod,
and the healing process commences at once. The
foliage also serves q shade Ia prevent sun
checks in the wounded parts although where
large branches taken from fruit trees, it is
better t. coat the exposed portions with the So
luton mentioned below.
The toolsfor pruning are frxif-a sharp, finely
set saw, nearly pointed ut the end. that it may
enter betwetn clOeely grOwin. limbs Neither
should it be backed saw, but like the common
board saw used by joiners. Second-a hand hatch-
ct like a small axe, easily used by hand.
Thid-a stout pruning knife, and each of them
sharp. Then a step-ladder, easily carried in the
hand, or on the shoulder. Of course give no
directions rs to what particular branches are to
be cut Of, rs the tree or shrub is not before us,
presuming also, that the pruneI understands his
business.
As to the mode or manner of doing the work,
let every branch be cut close 10 the body of the
tree, or main branch frem which il is taken, and
the bark pared close and smooth, for the wound
rapidly to heal over. If q choice tree, solution
of gum sheilac dissolved in pure alcohol to the
consistency Of cream, should be laid upou it with
a paint brush, to exclude the air, and prevent
the exposed wood from sun cracking. .
Pruning, In general, is not half enough regard
ed by tree and shrub growers. shade tree de-
velops half its beauty and grow til, by good
pruning. Forest trees, where il is any object to
do 80, all the better for it; and every fruit
grower knows, ought to know, that he can
get no perfect fruit, nor full crops without spe-
cial attention to lis practice; while every florist
will tell you that tn obtain the finest flowers and
the highest perfection of bloom the incest afteI-
tion should be given to pruning out and properly
adinsting the sprsy Of the plant.-Ameriean Igri-

Of this kind Of vermin will be much increased BY
delay. 1t is true that planting time is alont rs
busy season as any we have, and caterpillars
always take advantage of it and build their large
nests in the midst of it.
The very best instrument in use in the des-
truction of the webs, is the right hand, particu-
larry the thumb and two fure fingers. If any
green farmer fears the bite of a caterpillar, he
can use old gloves. As {" any bad edor attend

As every farmer knows, there is a season in
mid simmer when pastures become parched and
brown, and cows fail both in flesh and in milk
Some consider this necessary evil, against which
no provision can he made but all do not 50 con-
slider it. Some farmers, rs we happen ts know,
provide against this time Of scarcity by planting
corr for summer feed. They often use the South
ern yellow HAT corn; manure the ground well,
in drills three feet apart leaving it so thick
in the drill that nO stalk will grow more than an
inch in diameter. In this way, they secure fine,
succulent food for their stock, from the last Of
July to the middle Of September. The cows
show no abatement. This corn answers well also
for dry fodder, though the difficulty in curing
will prevent its general use ON large scale. The
advantage Of this corn ever the common Northern
vatieties, is that more Of il be raised ON the
about the middle Of May, June 5th, and June
10th, for . succession of tender feed through the

How TO WATER DRY FARM.-I have q niece
of land lying two miles from our home farm,
which had no water ON it, there being ridge on
il IS or 30 feet high. I discovered at the lower
side Of this ridge, come moist places that did not
dry mp soon in the spring Of the year as the
rest Of the ground. Here commenced digging q
ditch, water level ON the bottom, and after dig.
ging few rods, following the course Of the wa
ter as we'll ~ l could, found sufficient water
ten feet below the surface Of the ground, then
filled with cebble stone. At the mouth of this
ditch made stone basin not more than q foot
square inside.
This was done about eight years ago, since
then we have had plenty Of good, clear, rnnning
water that never fails, fit for man or beast. A

A Singular Reesrd-Capital Punishment In
