PLANT ORCHARDs,-'A splendid orchard!'
There is nothing that is more significant
comment upon farmers habits and prem
ises than this, unless it be, His fences are all
primen A good orchard involves in Its
planting and care all the knowledge, vigil
lance, tact, effort, oversight and labor neces'
sary to make a man succeed as a farmer a
man may be able TO produce good crop OF
corn, and get be poor orchardist; but 1t is
rare to find tirst-class orchardist who Is not
tirst-class farmer.
4 splendid orchard Is to the farmer what
bread on the table is to the housewite--an in
dex OF his thrift, intelligence and capacity.
Trees that are worth planting are worth car
ing for we'll. Ii takes longer for tree to
grow than for u hill Of corn, yet there are
hundreds of farmers who do not give an or
chard half the care and labor annually that
they do an acre of corn or potatoes. But the
profits from well kept orchard are always
in proportion to the care expended, and much
greater in proportion 10 such care than Is that
derived from the culture OF an acre oil corn.

SIMPLE CURE FOR BoILs,--Dr. Simon, a
physician of Lorraine, gives us a new cure
for bols, namely, by treating them with cam
phorated alcohol. As soon as the culmna.
lion point of boil makes its appearance he
puts little of the liquid in saucer, and,
dipping he ends of his little fingers IN it,
rubs the inhamcd surface, especially the cen
trail part, repeating the operation eight or ten
times for about halt a minute. He then al
lows the surface to dry, placing over it a
light coating of camphorated olive oil. lie
says that four such applications will, in al
most all cases. cause boils to dry up and dis
appear; the operation to be performed morn.

OF so simple a cure for such painful ma.a-
