DIRECTIONS FOR USE.

This Guano being sold at very moderate
price, enables farmers to use literally say
800 to 500 pounds per acre--higher manurie9
on feCer acres being the most desirable mode
of culture under our changed system Of labor.
The Orchilla, which seems to be an organic
deposit, can be recommended to the farmer
for use in itscrude state, more especially for
cereals, since one of its constituents The Phos-
plate of Magnesia, is found in the grain OF
the cereals.

Prune Orchards.

Trees that are hardy may be pruned In uidwin.
ter, provided no large wounds are made All
orchards properly and timely attended to will
rarely require the removal of large limbs We
often see recommendations to prune early in
summer because the wounds heal rapidly at that
time. That season may answer, provided the
cutting is very sparingly performed, or provided
the trees stand in very rich soil and grow with
great vigor. But early summer pruning ALWAYS
tends to check the tbriftiness of trees; and If
vigor of growth is desired, always prime before
the buds begin to swell-either in winter or yery
early In spring; and if trouble is likely to occur
from the flow Of the sap, cover the wounds with
paint, grating wax, shellao varnish or a mix
ture of tar aud brick dust OF road dust. If the
wounds are made by winter pruning, the ont
surface will become so dry in few weeks that
either of these applications will adhere we'll and
serve as q perfect protection.
1t often happens that the owner of large or
chards cannot find time to do the work himself,
and is unwilling to leave hired man, who may
have no experience or Judgment in cutting away
the right limbs To Obviate this difficulty, and
to have the work done to his satisfaction. let
him take piece of chalk in his hand and going
along the rows, draw 3 chalk-line at the base of
every crooked, OF crossing, or needless branch,
and let his msu follow with the saw and remove
them. In this way he can mark in an hour all
that the man will saw off in day, and thus
save his own valuable time Use the chalk sold
for school blackboards; and If the trees are tall
insert It in hole bored in the end of q rod or
stick several feet long.

Keeping Mea, L nder Brine.

The New England Farmer says: Many a Sc
rious loss occurs to good housewives by the pork
or beef coming TO the surface of the brine and
being exposed to the air. after it has been ed
with great care. The usual way of keeping it
down is TO lay bits Of board upon the meat, and
upon them bricks stones. This is very well
80 long as nothing is taken from the barrel; but
when that is done, if the boards aud stones are
not put back and evenly balanced some of them
cant a little and allow portion of the meat to
come TO the air. Ii this remains exposed for
some days, the process of putrefactiou takes
place, and not only the piece exposed is ruined,
but il it remains long in this condition the whole
mass receives faint, and if not rendered en-
trely unfit for the table. loses its sweet and rich
flavor. We have known this to occur when it
was supposed the utmost pains had been taken
~ keep tins meat perfect.
1t is 10 small loss to the family to find barrel
of choice pork with disagreeable faint upon it
all, just as a succession of vegetables is coming
on in spring or early summer. To avoid such an
unpleasant circumstance, We give below a very
simple, and what seems to US an effective pre-
ventive Of such loss. 1t was communicated to
the Iowa Homestead, by one of its correspondents
from Clinton, in that State:
snake a follower of inch beard ian old barrel
head will dog Just large enough to pass through
the head of the barrel with ease. On the ton OF
the follower, about four inches from the edge
on opposite sides, fssten two braces with leather
hinges. The braces should be about six inches
long, and one inch square, having a sharp spike
in the upper end. This DONE press the follower
upon the meat until it is below the brine, then
press the top of the brace against the barrel and
the spikes will penetrate the sides of the barrel
keeping all in place. Few realize the impor-
lance of keeping meat under the brine. If one
piece becomes tainted, il will in time convey
that faint to all in the barrel"

MANAGEMENT Of ,hs Orchard

To reslize the best results from an orchard we
| should be careful IN the selection of varieties
| and we'll drained location should be chosen on
which TO plant the trees. The distance betw cen
the rows should not DO small as to prelude the
| trees from obtaining their full bearing capacity,
and to make il dificnlt 10 gather the apples.
Neither should there be too much space. Tweu-
ty-fnur feet each way has been our practice of
setting trees, aud we fird it a suitable distance
If the land is low and fat, the land between the
rows should be plowed toward the tree, so as to
have the "dead furrow" in the centre and to al
low the water to pass of freely. All the sprouts
should bs kept from the base of the trees but We
have not found it advisable TO prime ont the
heads as it lessons the capacity for fruitfulness
and induces the growth of water sprouts.
ALI of the fallen fruit should be gathered and
made into vinegar, as the profits of the orchard
are considerably increased from this source All
fruit should be carefully hand picked; and that
Intended for market should be assorted and put
in clean packages. The commission men of Chi
cago assure us that apples in new barrels bring
enough more 10 pay for the barrel, even if old
ones could he had free of cost. Varieties that
drop frem the trees, such rome, beauty, stan
dard and domino, should be picked early. Win
ter fruit should be kept in cool place, at tenn
perature OF 40 degrees as near as osu be done.
The demand for winter apples has not yet been
supplied, and if We wish to obtain the bost re-
suits and find ready market for our apples, we
should plant at least three-fourths of our or.
chsrds to winter varieties.
The orchards should be sheltered on the west
and north by belts of rapid growing trees of de-
sirable varieties. We advise the planting of
white ash, American elm sycamore and ash-leaf
maple. Varieties of the willow are rapid grow.

Nov Wash Di.he..


In the matter of washing dishes many servants
are wofully deficient, and yet "sticky" plate
or cup is the adherence of all neat house-keep-
ers- To avoid unnecessary annoyance, We should
teach our domestics to wash first, and dry i'm
mediately, all glassware, then cups, saucers, and
spoons; after that the greasy dishes from which
all scraps have been scraped; then the knives
and forks, taking care that the knife-handles are
not put in the hot water, as that loosens and
biaekens them, while they are readily cleansed
by damp cloth. Silver forks, whether solid or
plated, should Fever be tossed about in contact
with steel knives, the latter are sure to infict
unseemly scratches.
The " alter for washing glass and delicate china
should never be very hot, and even grsnite or
stone ware should not be put in water where you
cannot easily bear your hand, for though the
dishes may not actually break, they soon be
come full of unsightly small dark checks. A very
little soap snfices, more than just the quantity
10 remove grease Is apt to leave disagreeable
roughnsss. For delicately painted French china,
lair warm soft water without any soap Is best.
Two tin pans, one for washing and the other for
riusing, rather deeper than milk-pans, and pain
ted on the outside to prevent rust, are often pre-
ferred to the wooden dish tubs. Hanging from
pegs over the sink should always be kept a
hemmend dish-cloth, (if unhemniend, it is some
times apt to find its way, unaded of course, to
the fire or the barnysrd, to save the trouble Of
washing it), ateacup towel, aud one for sauce
pans, etc. One of the first, two of the second,
and four Of the third named, will ordinarily be
sufficient for weeks use. All should be dis
tincintly marked, that there may be no excuse
for taking a teacup towel TO wipe the spider.
All milk utensils should be thoroughly sealded
with boiling suds, then rinsed, wiped with a
cloth wrung as dry as possible from hot water,
and kept in an airy place. Singular as it may
seem, a perfectly dry towel should never be en-
ployed to wipe tins which have been used for
holding milk. The reason is that a sickness is
left behind by the dry towel which will soon be-
come a sourness.-Hearh and Home

Mild Waters.

The mildness of the present season, says the
Fdu Aau Gazette, though unusual, bears no CON-
Parlson to that of some winters "long gone by"
In llI2 the temperature was so high that leaves
came ont on the trees IN January, and birds
matched their broods in February. In 1889 the
winter was eqnally mild and the maidens of Co
Iogne wore wreaths of voilets and corn-f flowers at
Christmas and on Twelfth Day. In 1921 the
trees lowered in the month of March, and the
vines IN the month of April. Cherries riprned
~ Tee same month, and grapes appeared in May.
III io'2, the trees were covered with leaves in
January, aud the birds Matched their young in
feornsry, Is in 1172; in 1885, the same thing was
repeated. and it is added that the corn was in
ear at Easter. There was in France neither
SNOW nor frost throughout the winters of 1888.
iooI; loOs, 1917 and 1859; finally, in 1862, even
IN the north of Germany, the stoves were not
ngntec- and trees blossomed in February. Com
ing to later dates, the winter Of 1851, when It
tnundrred at Paris on the 25th of January, and
Inat OF 1856 the year of the great inundPtion Of
