upsets the boat. Before they right her,
she fills with water, and sinks; and the
two men are swimming for their lives. "Ah /!

About Idlencss.

Many young people think that an idle
life must be pleasant one. But this is o
sad mistake. as they would soon find out il
they made trial Of the life they think SC
agreeable, One who is never busy eau
never enjoy rest, for rest implies a RELIEF
from previous labor; and if our whole time
were spent in amusing ourselves, we should
find it more wearisome than the hardest
days work. Recreation is only valuable
as it unbends u.s. the idle can know moth
ing of it. Many people leave off business
and settle down to a life Of enjoyment
but they generally find that they are moi
nearly 50 happy as they were before, anC
they are often glad to return to the occu
pations to escape the miseries.

Best Time TO Manure Trees.

People often argue whether it is better
to manure trees in the fall or in the spring,
but we think that any one who tries it will
find that the summer is as good a time as
any. 1t was only few years ago that it
was discovered that plants are like animals
in this-that they, while appearing to be
expanding their daily nourishment on con.
tinuous growth, are really at the same time
laying up food for tomorrow. Those who
have examined vegetable cellular structure
with microscope tell US that the formation
is exactly like that Of honey. comb, the
cells lying together Of hexagonal shape,
as if made by bees But it proves that this
structure is more like the illustration than
those that used it suspected, in this-that
as in the honey-comb honey is stored up for
use at future time, so matter is stored up
in these little plant cells for the future use
of the plant. There are in almost all plants
two growths during the season. The first
growth is formed almost wholly from the
matter stored up in the cell of the previous
year. After midsummer, especially in the
apple tree, the whole of the force derived
from the past year is expended, and it
stores up little for new growth, which
is soon after made. AS the season progress
SEES, the latter or secondary growth also in
turn lays up matter in its cells for the next
season, as the past season has done. Trees
always like fresh food as well as animals
and thus it is with this explanation, that
one can readily understand how it is that
top dressing of good manure put under
the trees soon after midsummer, when tn,
second growth is about to take place, pro
duces the marked good results we have be
fore recorded Weekly Press.

When TO Cut Grain.

There is truth in the proverb which is to
the effect that he that consults the sky
shall not reap. We take this to mean that
unless rain is positively falling or has re-
Gently fallen, it is unwise to postpone the
cutting of grain that is ready for the sickle.
There is no sounder maxim than this, for
when grain is ripe it is hurt more while
standing than in the shock. 1t is an abso-
lutte necessity that it be cut as soon as it is
mature however the weather may threaten.
But it is the precise point when maturity
arrives that it is difficult to decide, and
upon this hangs much disputed statement
Grain, however, is ripe for cutting when il
can gain no further growth from the root
When this occurs it is lost time to let il
stand any longer. If cut before this tint
the grain shrinks, shrivels, and loses eigh
and substance. The reproductive germ
may be perfect, because that natures whit
the supply Of starch, upon which the germ
must depend for its earliest food ate
termination has commenced, is yet incom
pete. Shrunken grain will, therefore
terminate perfectly, but the germ is insult
dciently nourished and dies prematurely.

MARKET GARDENS can hardly be too near

ing high prices for the first new vegetables
which arrive, are moving out into the coun-
try, every year, to try their hand at market
gardening Having but scanty means, they
20 out far enough to get land at a COMPARE
lively low price, but it does not take many
years to learn that gardening is not their
forte. Instead Of grumbling at the high
prices Of vegetables, they grumble now at
the low prices and full markets. They
find that the old gardens, around the large
cities, come in ahead Of them every time.
We have been informed by men who ought
to know, that the gardens near Boston have
pretty much killed the business for all those
living dozen or more miles away, who
were formerly successful. Those living
near the city have adopted greenhouse OF
hot.bed culture for all the early vegetables
and, by SO doing, they get the market first
and then hold it. They make their profits
before the country produce gets in, aud
then they undersel the country grower,

their men employed till the early trad,
comes round again.-N Z. Farmer.
