The human body is a machine, and therefore can
not endure forever; but, like watch or a sewing
machine. it will last much longer if properly regu-
lated and duly repaired, than if pains were TAX
TO keep it in order. The great object of every one
who desires a long and healthy life should be to put
his body in condition to resist the lifethreatening
influences by which we are oil more or less sur

Thin sced,ngto whent.

A correspondent of the Journal of
the Farm says:
La the Fall of 1871 we sowed an
eight of an acre IN wheat for expert
mental purposes. The variety was The
Fultz, and the first sample we had seen
of that variety; quantity of seed used,
one gallon, or at the rate of one bushel
to the acre. This was thin seeding
with us. The minimum quantity
sown was one and half bushels per
acre.
The ground was an old meadow, cul-
tivated one year in corn. The corn
was taken off, and ground twice har-
rowed and tep-dressed with stable
manure, and the seed put i'll with a
double pillow early in October. 1t did
not make much of growth in the
fall, nor did it start very vigorously in
the spring. With atolerably favorable
season it "tillered out" pretty well,
and at harvest was not much thinner
than where the usual quantity had
been sown. The yield quite surprised
us, being one hundred and eighty
pounds of wheat and two hundred and
twenty-fou pounds of straw, equal to
an average of twenty four bushels per
acre, while wheat seeded one-half
thicker, on similar soil, yielded fifteen
bushels per acre, a gain of nine bushels
per acre in the yield, and half a bushel
of seed saved besides. The yield OF
straw was not quite so heavy as where
it had been more thickly seeded.
4 Ab,.,lv ba tba ottooouc of 90 lura of
thin seeding will depend very mrch
upon the season, during the months of
April and May, following the sowing.
If the weather is favorable during that
period, it will tiller freely enough to
make fair stand, and, of course, If the
number OF stalks upon the ground is
very small the chances for large yield
are correspondingly reduced. BY thin
seeding / mean bushel OF wheat, OF
less than bushel, to the acre.

Revenue Rulings.

The Revenue Bureau rules that the
liability to pay special tax as dealer
does not attach to the act OF purchas-
ing, bat to selling; casual or in.
cldental sales, 10y person other than
the produeers-as, for instance, the
sale made by Const ,ble or Sheriff
under process of law; or hy order of a
Court; or the single sde made bv i
person who had taken a lot of goods to
secure a debt; or single sale made by
an executive administrator; or bv any
other person who had incidentally come
into possession or ownership of the
goods which he desires TO dispose of,
but who could not be regarded as sell
ing or Offering for sale as a business.
Sales OF this description do not, in the
opinion OF the revenue officer, render
the person making such sale liable TO
pay special tax. This ruling is under
stood to be applicable to sales of all
Kinds OF produce except liquor, in the
case OF which, the law explicitly pro-
vldes that every person who sells, or
offers Tor sale, liquor in any quantity
or shape, is liable to special tax as 4
dealer.

Protectors for Orchards.

Mr. Charles ID. Bragdon, the work
ing editor of Moore's Rural, who has
been rusticating for few weeks, re.
marks as follows on what he saw
among the orchards in his country re-
treat:
More and more dependence is placed
upon top-dressing of compost, muck,
ashes and upon mulching with coarse
manure, or even straw alone IL is
getting to be believed that blowing
among old orchard trees is a positive
injury, shortening the lives of the trees
without increasing their productiveness
materially. 1t is claimed that an old
orchard tree needs all its fibrous roots.
which must be fed, il is true, but which
may be fed by top-dressing, and which
some OF the most experienced farmers
say, is the only natural way of feed
ing growing trees. There is a good
deal of common sense in the theory,
and great deal of success follows the
practice. The best orchards 1 have
seen hereabouts-I mean old orchards
are those that have beenthus treated
the past ten or more years. But their
owners see that they are properly fed
The trouble with the practice is Tor
may be) that the feeding or manuring
the trees is too often neglected while
if the orchard is plowed, the farmer
will draw on tons of manure in order
to get crop of corn or potatoes from
among the trees. Thus the orchard
gets some benedt-shares 1t with the
crop planted.
"a.
grown and least defOrmcd fruit have
seen is that grown III orchards in which
pigs and sheep have been permitted
range for series of years up to the
time the fruit really begins to mature
and drop. IL is. astonishing what a
difference IL makes in the aggregate
amount of perfect specimens of apples,
pears and plums that hang on the
trees. They destroy innumorable in
seets. Those who admit the pigs 20
the orchards ring or rim their noses.
They do not allow them TO break the
sod by roofing. Thus, they make them
watchful of every larya and insect
which appears on the surface, and com
pei them 10 eat the stung fruit which
drops from the trees in the early part
of the season.
Sheep are more dangerous IN an
orchard than swine They are moro
liable To gnaw the bark from the trees
--er ,ecially If Young, and the pastur-
acc is short But as a rule, there is
little damage done. Here is one man
who has kept thirty handsome South
Downs in his orchard this season, and
not tree is injured nor can you find
an apple on the ground after 10 O'Clock
in the morning, unless you happen t.
be under the tree about the time Il
drops.
No orchard that l have seen, how

ever. surpasses one in which no live
stock has been kept other than poultry
hens, geese, turkeys, guinea and pea
fowl. Here is an extensive range,
inclosed by high picket fence. The
trees are mulched and MANFRED every
year-sometimes in fall, and some
times in spring. Turkeys roost IN the
trees; SO do the other fowls. The
geese have pond fed by a brook, IN
which TO battle. All the fowls are kept
in this orchard that can be with profit.
The crop of fruit is bountiful
and beautiful. The abundance is
due to care in pruning, washing aud
feeding. It's beauty and perfectness IS
largely attributed by the owner to the
vigilance of the fowls in huhting III
sects and destroying them. The prohts
from the fowls are large. 1t is claimed
that they are the most productive and
profitable live stock he has, in proper
ton to the investment Eggs, chick.
ems aud turkeys always bring good
price; and the range he thus gives
them and the comparative freedom,
diminishes the amount of care required
and the per cent. of loss from disease
that ordinarily obtains where fowl are
closely confined. Really, the orchard,
with ITS fruit and poultry products, IS
regarded the most profitable portion OF
his investment III proportion to the
expense involved III its care.

FARM ANDg HOUSEHOLD.

Prune any time after the leaves fall
and sap rises. Save your best and
thriftiest canes from as near the ground
as possible. My rule is, after my
vines are three or four years old, if
they do not throw out near the ground,
to cut the vines off below the surface.
Cat every alternate hill, train from
two to five canes to the hill, according
to thrift of canes. Pinch or cut off the
laterals, putting ont at each leaf, leav-
ing the lateral from one to two inches
long from the main cane. As the cane
grows, keep them off until you have
your best canes from eight TO twelve
feet long Cut or pinch off two or
three feet from the tips to check the
growth and harden the wood for cold
weather. This is properly the renewal
system. You may followspur pruning
from three to five years with tolerable
success, but will ultimately fail to raise
large, full clusters.
When your vines begin to fruit
leave your thrifiest canes nearest the
earth for the following year, taking
the laterals off as directed above.
Thos you do not want pinch off, leav.
ing two or three leaves past the last
cluste.s TO prevent the fruit bud from
starting out; that should not be put
ont until the following season.
With regard to making beginning
IN grape raising, il may be well to say
a thing or two. You will do well to
remember one thing 4; get good healthy
roots one or two years old, and
cultivate them well. Fulier's advice is
TO visit your vineyard often. When
you get to the gate, take off your coat,
take your hoe and go to work; grapes
and weeds do not prosper together.
i want to say further, with reference
to the pinching and cutting off the lat
erals and main canes spoken of above,
that the vigor of the growth must be
a guide to the pinching or cutting
done. l had one cane last year, eigh
teen feet long, that had one hundred
and three clusters. A hill containing
five branches had three hundred and
two clusters, and one cane eight feet
long had sixty-two clusters of very fine
grapes. This cane or hill was four
years old.
My vineyard is made up of Concords
and Clintons mainly; they are all
right. Isabellas and Catawbas were
killed, except those which were laid
down.
The last work TO my vineyards in the
fall, just before freezing, is to throw
the dirt to the vines with horse pillow.
This protects the roots from the hard
freezing and dying. The dirt thrown
10 h. -, Il,
removed by the first or middle of June
to prevent unnecessary roots from
starting. --CUr. Prairie Farmer.

The Cultivation OF Cunning.

A Parliamentary paper on the pro-
gress of India in 1872 gives some inter
esting information relative to the cul-
tivation Of the quinine plant, which
was introduced from South America in
1860 into the hill districts of Hlndoo-
stan. II appears that there are now
2, 639, 2S5 plants i'll the government
plantations ON the Neilgherry Hills
alone, without counting those of pri-
vate planters i'll this and in other
districts. The largest trees are 30B
feet high and more than three feet
in girth around the trunk. The area
covered by the plantations amounts
to $50 acres, and is largely added to
every year. TIE bark under cultiva-
ton is more productive in quinine and
the other iebrifuge alkaloids than the
Wild bark Of South America. During
last year 1926 pounds of excellent
bark were sold in the London market,
while est pounds were supplied to
the local mandatory. This year 20,
900 pounds will be sent home The
alkaloid is manufactured on the spot
in an exceedingly crude form for the
use OF local medical stores, and hun
dreds of fever patients are thus an.

How a Little Boy Caught a Trout.

The Penn Yam Democrat tells a fish
story substantially ms follows Mrs.
Myron Morse, of Penn Yam, her son,
seven years old, aud her sister were
fishing IN boat on Kenka Like ON
Wednesday last. The boy leaned over
the side of the boat, when large trout
jumped from the water aud caught hold
of the chlld's nose. The boy sprang
back, and in doing SO pulled the fish
into the boat The trout thus caught
weighed eight pounds. The Penn Yam
Democrat offers To wager $4,000 that
1t will verify this statement, strange as
1T NAV seem. The letter received in
tins city states that the childs nose
was considerably mutilaied, and its
mother has caused ITS photograph TO
be taken, that 1t may be shown to
friends. Expert anglers are compelled
to resort to ingenious devices to allure
the salmon trout to their hooks, and
that one of these wary fish should leave
the water to reach tor the nose of u
Juvenile angler Is indeed remarkable,
and quite beyond the understanding
OF those acquainted with the habits of
fishes,
