How TO Restore Trces Killed by tho
Frost.

The following we clip from the
report Of the recent meeting of the
! Michigan fruit growers at Battle
Greek:
Gin view of the fact that thous-
ands Of the fruit trees, especially
the peach, have been injured by the
severe cold OF the present winter,
and that many have been killed out.
right, it will be seen that ANYTHING
that might indicates Il practicable
relief from the loss that will fall up
on this branch Of industry will be
hailed with satisfaction. On this
subject, which was next take. up by
the society, the views of Mr.. Hart
ford, of Indiana, were called out
He said that i'll the cold inter of
1856 he had an orchard OF thirty
young trees absolutely killed t" the
snow line, and of course total loss
as far as appearances indicate or
experience could suggest. Know
ing, however, that the trees had
been vigorous and that their roots
must possess considerable power of
reproduction, he proceeded to cut
off the entire top of every tree that
had been frozen, and left nothing
but unsightly stumps throughout
the orchard. The spring came on,
advanced somewhat. He watched
his stumps with anxiety; found that
numerous buds started out from
these stubs, put forth their fruit and
made remarkable growth, and in
two years he had rs good and
healthy an orchard as that which
had been cut off by the FROST
Since that time he had frequent oc-
casion to treat other trees i'm
similar manner, sometimes cutting
off injured branches only, and had
almost uniformly had good results.
But 1t is necessary to cut off the in
.jured branches of frozen tops rs
early as possible after the snow is
gone and always before the sap has
begun to ascend the tree.
Other gentlemen expressed their
opinions upon this very important
point. To the argument that this
practice would cut off the present
seasons product was answered that
in orchards whose trees are badly
injured the crop of this season is
out of the question; of them the or
chard may be saved by timely
of the surgical knife,
and in two or three years be in rs
good condition rs before they
were frozen. A true economy can
not fail to indicate the course to be
pursued.

Big Stories OF Bee-Keepers.


1t would almost seem that many
writer's on matters connected with
the apiary had taken a double
lesson from the bees: To be indust-
rious in proclaiming the merits OF
this or that hive or other invention,
or particular kind Of bees; and to re-
sent promptly any real or tancied
injury, by singing with bitter
words, directed against the charac-
ter Of others. A large. share of
what has been written for bee jour
nails Of late has been calculated to
bring the business as well as the
men who are engaged in it into con-
tempt.
The extravagant claims made as
to the profitableness of bee-kceping,
the value Of hive, honey extract
or, etc., have done only harm. The
trouble with many such claims is
that they are not true--and of many
others that they are only partly
true. Sensible men know that,
when calculations are presented
showing how anyone can make some
thousands Of dollars year, with
little capital and labor, somebody is
writing what is not true.
Now, if the large number Of in
telligcnt, respectable men intere ted
in Bookkeeping will unite in oppos-
ing these manifestations of ill-hu-
NOR ahd purely personal prejudices,
and these undue and injurious state
ments as to profits, they can do
much to remedy very serious evils.

TRELLIs FOR RAsPBERRIEs.-My
plan for trelIising raspberrics is as
follows:
use white oak posts split, so as
to be rather wider than usual -
These l set, tops down, at a distance
of twenty to twenty-five feet apart,
in row. In setting, l commence
by taking a very wide pos, for the
ends Of the row The second post
is set so that it stands to the right
of the centre Of the row, twenty-five
feet from the first post. The third
post, twenty-five feet from the las,
one, is set to the left of the centre
of the row, which gives a space be.
tween the wires of about twelve in,
ches. l place the first wire on the
outside Of the posts at height OF
three feet from the ground; the sec.
ond wire about eighteen inches
above that. l then place wires al
the same height on the opposite
sides of the posts. This gives
plenty of room for the canes be-
tween, and it holds the canes tc
their places in good style.
I set my plants in rows five feet
apart. Six feet would have been
better, as now find them somewhat
close. My vines are mainly of the
black cap variety. l am well
pleased with the Philadelphia
] Rural World.

The Best Way to Boil Clothes.

Aunt Rhody Bacon has been ma
king us visit. She is an ancient
maiden, and is as full of information
as an egg is OF meat. 1t happened
that she passed through my kitchen
as my washerwoman was preparing
to boil her clothes in a kettle flied
with boiling water, and she could
not refrain from demonstrating with
her upon the subject, thus:
''It you bile the clothes in billing
water, they'll be yaller, as sure as
you're a gal," cried Aunt Rhody.-
"Gal and woman, l have washed
clothes for nearly sixty years, an l
am old enough ter know what's
what in washin'. Put them clothes
inter cold water, let 'em KUN slowly
ter bile, and bile 'em twenty min
utcs, an I'll venter ter say you will
thank me for tellin' on you ter do
it," :
cam jist let me tell yer another
thing. When yer clothes stick to
the lines in winter time, instead OF
pulIin' at 'em, bend or lift 'em right
where the clothespln was stuck, an
they'll kun right off jist as easy, an
won't tear at all. l've seen good
clothes, an sheets, an piller.cases,
torn inter strips by being pulled of
the line when a little stiff with
frost"
So Aunt Rhody had her say to
Mrs. Flanagan, who l hope will
profit by her advice.

occasion to say that if cotton cloth
were employed in place OF glass the
thing could be done very cheaply.-

Journal speaks thus concerning
them:
ave feel that, in giving some ac-
count Of translucent cloth hot-beds,
to be employed instead Of the ex-
pensive glass frames in general use,
we are doing all our gardening
readers service. We can vouch
for the value of the German Hot
BEDS having tried them very sue
cesstully many years ago.
"For forcing early melons, toma-
toes, ETC., this prepared cloth is well
adapted, as it can be tackled to boxes
Of any size required, and cut to fit
them. Little rough square boxes,
of the proper size and height, COW
cred with the prepared cloth, can
be placed over the hills in which
tomato, melon or other seeds are
planted, and the plants allowed to
stand, without transplanting, unit!
all danger of frost is over, and then
the boxes may be taken off and
packed away until wanted another
season."
Take white cotton cloth of a close
texture, stretch it and nail it on
frames Of any size you wish; mix
two ounces of lime-water, four ounc-
cs of linsecd oil, one ounce Of white
of eggs separately, two ounces of
yolk of eggs: mix the lime and oil

Mr.. Wall, in a recent address to
the farmers of New jersey, in
which he contrasted the American
with the English system of farming,
says: at is certainly true that the
culture of root crops has been the
salvation of English agriculture
The cultivation of these crops may
as truly be the means of improving
the soil in our Eastern States. We
had once hoped that the manufac-
ture of beet sugar would enable
western farmers to avail themselves
of this root as a fallow crop, but we
fear this will prove not to be the
case, just yet; perhaps time will
give us cheaper labor by which it
may be done. Fortunately, we have
Indian corn, which enables our
farmers to clean their land in an ad-
mirable manner if properly attended
to. Still, it can never take the
place Of tap-rooted plants. The
turnip crop will probably never be
available in the West, even if we
could afford to make it take the
place Of corn as feeding crop, for
the reason that our hot summers are
not suited to the plant. If beet SUI
gar, however, could be made to pay
the cost of cultivation and manutac-
ture, the enhanced production of
the wheat and barley with which it
would be rotated would insure
profits. We shall still look with
interest to the future Of beet sugar
in the West. The great difficulty
with our farmers is, that they have
neglected the breeding and feeding
of stock to eat up the coarse grains
in which our prairie soils are so
fertile. Thus we might establish
rotation in which clover would
play an important part, and which
its deep, searching tap-roots bring
up the hidden tert lity of the soil
for the use of wheat and barley
We reiterate that it is in diversified
agriculture that our farmers must
find the true solution Of many of
their troubles. 1t takes time, how
ever, to work out agricultural prob
lens, and as soon as we know Just
what classes of plants are suited to
our climate and condition, we shall
have solved one Of the most import
ant questions Of the day."

Advice to Young Ladies.

At the agricultural fair in Santa
Clara, prizes were offered for thu
best cooks among the unmarried
ladies. This is move in the RICH,
direction, and we hail the move as
an evidence that We are to return to
the simplicity of early times, when
our wives were helpmects instead
Of "help-eats;" when the young
wife brought 10 the matrimonial CO
partnership willingness to bear
her share of the burden and labor
of life; when one silk frock, one
china tea-set, half dozen silver
spoons, and counterpanes of her own
patchwork, were evidences of the
simplicity of her taste, the economy
of her life, and the promises OF flu
ture industry. Now the young
bride must begin where her mother
leaves off. Her outfit is a trousseau,
gorgeous house, rich in uphol-
stery, mirrors, carvings, and orna-
mentations of paint, plaster, silk,
and velvet; she sneers at cottage
where love is, and prefers the cheap
and snowy clearinghouse to her
own but humber home.
The Santa Clara fair gives not
only prize for the best young cook
who can manage a cheap and eco
nomical dinner, but other prizes
will be hanging round within scent
of the savory viands to nose them
selves out wite-awkward, beard
less. robust young farmers, ready
to offer themselves, their virtuous
lives, their industrious habits, their
well-tilled farms, t. bride who
will know how to preside over the,
mul,ifarious duties of 4 home in the
country.
We advise our city girls to go in
and viii. Show the country maiden
that you, too, know how to broil
and bake, fry and stew: then, for
the finish to your feast, give an ex-
ira dessert-something to tickle the
farmers palate, and ten to one you
will steal away from the country
girl the honors and lovers of the
day. And when the farmers boy
a-wooing comes, accept his hard
hand and honest heart as a surer
anchor and a tirmer trust than the
half-gentleman, halfhoodlum, who
parts his hair in the middle and
offers 10 share with you the chances
in his lottery of life. If we had a
thousand sweethearts, we would ad-
wise all save one to 60 to the coun-
try. If we had a thousand genteel,
half-starved city friends, fighting
the grinning tiend of genteel power
Iy, striving to keep up appearances,
living beyond their means, in con-
slant dread Of what the world would
say, slaves to society, we would say,
go to the country. With half-a-
hundred acres Of Gods bountiful
soil, you may live happy, heal,hful,
