shrubs and fences may not yield any
money 10 the owner while he has
them in his possession, but they will
bring many times their cost when the
farm comes into market. In the early
days of Chicago II gentleman planted
many thousand evergrecns and other
ornamental trees oh II large tract of
land near the city, which he intended
for his future home. He never real

place was sold. 1t was put on the

Directions are given in the Journal
of Agriculture, London, for forming
neat little miniature trees in pots, es-
pecial reference being made TO two OF
the most deserving plants for tGis
treatment The very pretty ivy-leaved
geranium, "L'Elegante, may be
trained to neat little UNI brella-shaped
trellis, which, during the season, it will
completely cover with its distinctly
variegated foliage. TO intensity the
color OF the latter, the stem may be
slightly cut in places and then exposed
to the sun. Another novel specimen
may be formed by grating shoot of
the Iresine Lindeni upon the variegated
form of the old /. VcrschafIetti, allow
ing few shoots from the latter to grow
up and encircle the former. The
grating process is readily performed
/ upon this class of plants, and is very
effective. If n young plant of the
golden-le aved thyme is carefully grown,
and the side-shoO near the base cut
| off, one may soon form an attractive
| little tree which will he not unlike the
celebrated dwarf plants SO common
among japanese gardeners, and, in
deed. far more natural and handsome.
Such experiments add Zest to garden
ing operations entirely unknown TO
those who content themselves with
the old orthodox methods of their
teachers.
walking vs.. Trstting Horses.
A writer i'm the Prairie Farmer
complains that all the premiums Of
fered at agricultural fairs for the per-
formance of horses go for trotting or
running, and none for walking. lie
says the various agricultural societies
"say nothing of walking, in which
the farmers are most Interested |

What benent is race horse to II farm
err? if he wants to run or trot him
for premiums, or stakes, IL will not
do to work him as farm horses have
to work. Besides, fast horses generally
are not able to stand heavy work, and
are not apt to be extra walking. What
the farmer wants is a elose-made mus
cular horse, weighing one thousand to
one thousand two hundred pounds,

a cultivator, or at that rate crossing the
field. 1t costs no more for n hand to
drive a team that will pillow three acres
per day than it would to drive one that
would pl0w only two acres" And
why not offer premiums for fast walk
ing oxen, which are needed as much
as fast horses?
The Cabbage Fly.
We should caution against the indis-
criminate use of Paris green for all
manner of injurious intects, and espe-
cially for the cabbage fly. We would
far rather depend upon the more SIM
pie If less destructive applications, such

the young plants with excellent results.
The Granger.
The mass Of the Changers are an
mated by the kindliest feelings to-
wards all their neighbours. as all good
citizens and genuine patriots are. 1t
Is therefore, more in sorrow than ia
resentment or anger, that we are
forced to censure and condemn the eff
forts of Il few pseudo Changers to ar
ray the farmers against other equally
good, and honorable and useful citi-
zens. These men are neither good
Changers nor good citizens. The first
principles Of the great order of Patrons
of Husbandry absolutely forbid any
hostility to other classes. and hence,
we say, that the man who ignores and
tramples these opinions of the Order
under his feet in his narrow-minded
zeal to attack others, is neither good
Granger nor good citizen. Let no
such man be trusted. We are led to
these remarks by the speech of a little
fellow named Ball, at recent Granger
pic mic in Bastrop county, who got up
after dinner and read sophomore |
TRADE against LAWYERS, doctors, editors,
etc. His speech was full of petty spite
and contemplate bigotry.-[Bastrop
