Death is only the gate to the Celes-
tial city We.should not weep when
a Christian dies. Why wish them
to travel this thorny road longer with
piercing thorns on either side? Why
not rather rejoice to see them die,
and let in from the cold and wintry
blast to the warm fre-side Of Heaven
When Christians die, they only lay
aside their warfare, and take up a
crown They lay aside sorrows and
tears, and take up praises They no
longer suffer ina world of sin and
misery, but rejoice in a world of
purity and happiness to all eternity.
Death to the Christian is Heaven s
life-boat, with the sails filed with
Heavens friendliest breezes.

Winter and Spring Wheat.

The distinction between winter and
spring wheat is difference in the time of
sowing, and not in variety. Any spring
wheat can be changed into winter, or
winter into spring, merely by gradually
changing the time in which either is sown.
BY gradually sowing spring wheat earlier
every season, in few years it can be sown
in the fall, and become winter wheat.
Or, just before the close Of winter, sow
winter wheat and let it germinate slightly,
then let it freeze up till spring, and next
year it can be successfully sown in the
spring. And as it is universally conceded
that winter is better than spring wheat, it
is natural conclusion that the sooner
wheat can be safely sown in the spring
the nearer will it attain to the quality Of
winter wheat. The difference between red
and white wheat = not in variety but is
owing chiefly to the variety of soil on which
it is grown.
II is said that the hard wheats are all
natives Of warm climates, such as Italy
Sicily, and Barbary. The soft wheats are
from more northern climates, such as Eng
land, Russia, Belgium, Denmark, and Swe.
den. There is, however, one exception in
this general rule, as the celebrated Polish
wheat L hard, and from this reason it has
been commended that Il was not native Of
Poland, but was introduced there from o
milder climate. The English atmosphere
isso humid that it is impossible to ripen
any wheat hard, but in many cases it
requires artificial heat to harden It before
it can be ground into -four. Different
soils and climates materially change the
nature and variety Of wheat.

Evsrgrssns Among Pear Trees.

Hon. f. Fl. Hyde, Yice-President of
the Connecticut State Board of Agricul-
ture, planted number of small evergreens
in circular form around some pear trees,
simply for ornament, intending to keed
them down in the form Of hedge, and TO
allow the pear trees, ''for effect, to appear
above them. The plan was neglected for
a while-as many such plans are-and the
eyergreens soon outstripped the dwarfs,
and lowered up above and nearly eneircled
them. 1t came to be noticed after while
that while the pear trees away from the
evergreens were irregular bearers of rather
inferior fruit, those within the circle were
almost Invariably prolific, and the fruit
was Of superior quality. There was no
other apparent cause for this result than
the influence of the evergreens, hence the
inference in favor Of protection would
seem to be just one.
This discovery, however, is not new
one. The influence of shelter belts on
fruit trees, as well as on farm crops, has
long been known and taught BY enterpris-
ing horticulturists, but ike other improve
ments not yielding immediate revenues,
people have been slow to adopt the plan
There is not particle Of doubt as to their
good effects both for shelter and for beau
ty. An orchard Of any kind interspersed
with them would, without doubt, yield
better returns, even with one-quarter' or
one-third the space given to evergreens.
Their pyramidal shape makes the shade
they cast comparatively small, hence that
is slight objection. If inclined to oceu-
Ply space at the expense of necessary con-
venience, they can be clipped, headed back
or SHARED into almost any form, and their
density Of foliage only be increased there
by. If largely planted over the country
as screens, shelter belts, or only inter
spersed here and there through orchards
and farms, they would not only exert
special protection on adjacent orchards, and
vastly beautify the landscape, but would
effect general amelioration of the climate,
which would be universal benefit The
culture of eyergreens is only in its infancy
as yet, and every act or incident tending
to promote taste or inquiry in that direc-
ton many justly be regarded as a public
benefit.

clipping, pinching, or breaking taking off

from thirty to forty inches in height this
checks the upward growth, and sends the
strength to the lateFals. The latter will
also need some checking in good soil, or

Of the very finest fruit If the upper
laterals are left at three or four inches
and the lower ones at ten or twelve, the
chances for profit win be better than to
neglect pruning and to look for a multi

fail to mature in dry season. Cultivate
lightly--just enough to keep weeds and
