Thinning Fruit.

Novices in fruit culture, as we'll as a
large class who believe in allowing tree
to injure itself by overbearing, never thin
out the young fruit or thin overburdened
trees; but the shrewd orchardist, who
knows the road to success by experience,
at this season. carefully removes portion
of the smaller specimens, as we'll as some
of large size, when thickly clustered to-
gether, and by this means actually in
creases the weight of his crop and makes
it more valuable. The grower of foreign
grapes, more than any other gardener, is
aware of the advantages to be derived from
thinning out the branches; he knows we'll
that they will outweigh those not thinned,
and the berries will swell up to double
the size of their neglected companions.
And so it is with peaches and pears, with
perhaps less need as a general rule. 1t
does seem akin to sacrilege when we begin
to destroy so many healthy young peaches,
for instance; but we must bear in mind
that if allowed to remain on the tree until
maturity they will not be so healthy and
the tree, unable to bear its burden, may be-
come useless in the future. 1t cannot be
impressed upon readers too strongly to
commence now, and see that none of their
fruit trees are in a condition to injure both
their crop of fruit and themselves by too
heavy task. Relieve them of portion,
for it appeals strongly to your pockets

Budding.

Almost all intelligent farmers know how
to graft, and large numbers employ that
knowledge in springtime to put good
head on wild tree or to change the char
acter of one to something more desirable.
But the spring is generally crowded with
work. Few get done what they desired
and intended to do; and among the put-otf
things very likely of all others will be the
grating job. Something of this can be
made up at this season by budding or in
oculation, as it is sometimes called. 1t
does not find the same favor with farmers
as it does with nurserymen, because no
time seems to be gained over grating six
months hence; for the buds put in now do
not push into growth till the next spring
season.
If gratis are put in next year they grow
Immediately and make stronger growths
and form good head much sooner than
buds put in at this season will. But then
there is the question of time. If one waits
for spring it may never be done. This is
comparatively leisure season, and tree
budded now is done with. 1t will keep on
growing and will certainly beat the tree
that never is done!
Budding is so simple an operation and
has been over and over again described in
the papers and most persons who are like
ly to be benefited by this article know how
it is done. A piece of bark containing a
leaf-stalk and the eye at its base is simply
put under the bark of the stock to be i'm
proved, and which has been slit and
Lifted" or loosened by the back of a knife
for the purpose. After insertion the bud
is tied firmly in. Anyone can understand
this, and only experiment will teach more.
But there is one thing which all builders
do not understand, and we will explain
why even some good hands fail in their
work. The branch ON which the bud is
to 60 must be thrifty, vigorous and in
every way healthy, or the buds will not
"take'
Failure in most cases comes from this.
1t does not make much difference whether
the branch to be operated ON is more than
one year old, so that the bark separates
freely from the wood-as the builders say,
"runs freely''-but it is essential that it
should be in perfect health. The bark
generally loosens freely at the end of sum-
mer, if in the condition we have described.
In regard to the bud it must not be too
young. Failure generally comes from
this. There is far less chance of failure
with very old buds than with young ones,
though of course all the buds must be of
this seasons growth.
1t is hardly necessary to say that in
budding, as in grating, like must be
suited to like, and the nearer the bud is
like its stock the better will be its success.
1t is not often that plants of two dissimilar
families will grow together. The pear
will grow on the ounce, but this is rather
an exception. So closely allied things as
the apple and the pear will not do very
well, and only at all with ditficulty-Ger-

At q late meeting of the London Chemi.

entitled "Notes on Milk in Health and
Disease" which contains information
worthy of attention by all consumers Of
this staple article Of diet. We condense
from the report as follows: 1t was first OBJ

ment, that although milk taken from herds
of cows exhibits great uniformity in CON-
position yet milk from individual COWS is
liable to considerable variation. The ques-
ton Of the effect of sewage grass upon the
milk of COWS to which it is fed was care
fully considered and the discovery made
that, when this food was given the milk
went putrid after thirty.six hours and the
butter became rancid rapidly compared
with that made from the milk of cows fed
on meadow grass. 1t was also noticed that
when the milk from sewage-grass was
placed on dializer the caseine passed
through the membrane showing that it
must have assumed some modified form.
Our readers will recall 9 former review of
this subject in connection with outbreaks
Of typhoid fever The discovery was then
made that the cans containing the milk
had been washed with. sewage-water,
which in certain instances had also been
used to dilute the milk itself; The qucs-
ton as to whether the fever germs may
penetrate the milk seems yet not to be full

to call for wise discrimination in the
kinds of food given to mich COWS -Ap-

ca, from which strychnine is derived. 1t
grows in the East Indies, and is a tree of
middling height, with ovate leaves, small,
greenish-white flowers, and a beautiful
orange-colored fruit, the size of a small
apple, with brittle shell and white
gelatinous pulp. The pulp of the fruit is
harmless, and is greedily eaten by birds,
but the seeds imbedded in the pulp are
loaded with strychnine, and form the nux-
vomica of commerce. The bark of the
tree also partakes of the poisonous quality
Of the seeds. A single drop of the Juice
touching the naked skin produces blisters
and violent Inflammation. The wood of
the tree is hard and durable.
A small tree of the same genus as the
nux-vomica, the Stryctn0s 1,0tdt0ruan, or
clearing-nut is abundant in the forests of
India. 1t has deeply assured bark,
smooth, ovate, pointed leaves and a shin
ing, black, pulpy fruit, containing single
seed. The seeds of the tree are commonly
used for cleaning turbid water, and are
sold for the purpose in the baZars, and are
carried about by travellers. After rubbing
the inside of vessel with the seeds, ali
impurities in the water with which it is
filled Immediately settle at the bottom.
The natives of India never drink we'll wa
ter if they can get pond or river water,
which is always more or less impure. The
pulp of the fruit of the s. potatorum is
eaten, by the Indians, but foreigners find
the taste of it disagreeable.
The Stryc)tn0s torifero is climbing
plant, Astounding in the forests along the
banks of the great equatorial rivers of
South America. 1t is called by the natives
mavacure Llama, and yields the frightful
poison known as wOOrare, ourari, uroli,
etc. Humboldt thus describes the manu-
facture of the poison: "When the bark
of the mavacure is opened yellowish liq-
uid continues to ooZe out tor several hours
drop by drop. This filtered juice is the
poisonous liquid, but it has not acquired
all its strength until it is concentrated by
evaporation in a large clay pot placed
over fire. The Indian who filled the
office of Poison Master asked me from
time to time to taste this poison liquid. 1t
is by the bitterness Of the taste that one
judges whether the poison has been suf.
ficiently concentrated. There is no danger
IN tasting curare, as it becomes fatal only
by coming in direct contact with the
blood"
The bark of Strychnos pseudoquinn,
which is found in Brazil, is in much re-
pute as febrifuge. The children eat the
fruit of the tree without danger, but all
other parts, especially the bark, are ex-
tremely bitter and rather astringent 1t is
universally used in the place of cinchona.
1t is sold under the name of Copulchc
bark, and is said to be fully equal to Peru

IT WAS AN ANCIENT CUSTOM of the

their youth an adherence of intemperance

and safety of the Lacedemonian Republic,
might see before them all the CHASTITY de-

HOPE.

The plants first shoot was fresh and fair,
we tended it with loving care.
But keen the breath of April air,
1t chilled the frail newcomer.
We said: The days roll onward fast,
l he east winds reign will soon be past,
Wen fence it from the bitter blast,
Our bud will blow in summer"
But June had half her smile forgot,
And August suns blazed fierce and hot,
And, tired of their earthly lot,
The soft leaves dropped and faded.
We said, "When heat and glare pass by,
Beneath October's tranquil sky,
The bloom will blossom quietly,
BY Autumn's calm wings shaded"
But ali! the dead leaves heaped the plain,
And rotted meath the ceaseless rain,
With, Ikea weary soul in pain,
The winds amid it signing.
We heard the winters comm" tread,
The low skies darkened overhead,
Love, Faith and Truth are vain" we said,
Our treasure lies a-dying.'
And slowly, with reluctant feet,
We left the snowdrift's winding-sheet,
Where lay the promise, pure and sweet,
To youths gay morning given.
Then, angel-like, Hope whispered low:
Life fingers meath yon saving snow;
On through the seasons patient go,
God keeps your flower in Heaven"

Something Of an Appetite.

Falstaff g ,unbodnded stomach has found
a rival. 1t is well known that in this city
it is the practice of certain keepers of eat
lighthouses to encourage trade by selling
six dinner tickets, a weeks supply, for two
dollars, thus securing the money in adj
vance, and giving the buyer carte blanche
to order from the bill of fare as suits his
fancy. As rule this is apaying business,
but case comes to our notice which
threatens the unfortunate victualer with
financial ruin. In an unguarded moment
he disposed of liberal supply of these
dinner tickets to misunderstanding youth,

Who Is the Successful Farmer?

The most improvident farmer may &C.
casionally get a good crop when every
thing is so favorable to its growth as to
need but little artificial assistance, but
when extreme wet weather, or drought, or
damage by insects occur the man of skill
and enterprise will find himself doubly re-
warded, for the reason that so many fail
in the things wherein he succeeds. Farm
ing is trade as much as any other bust
ness, and one requiring push, guided by
scientific application and thought, as much
as any other.
The successful farmer must, and does,
so conduct his operations in way that
his crops are affected in the least possible
manner by the contingencies of climatic
influences, insect depredators, etc. His
land may be so drained that the desolating
floods to the.many may percolate through
the soil, leaving hidden treasures of fertil-
ity, therein gathered from the atmosphere,
and which would otherwise be lost in the
great ocean were they not invited thither
by artificial means to enrich the land and
assist the growth of crops. Or in case of
drought, the surface of the ground is kept
thoroughly pulverized, that evaporation
may be retarded SO much as to keep an
adequate supply of moisture for the growth
of vegetation.Sa
The farmers are now in the midst Of the
busiest season Of the year, the time requir-
ing the most skillful management to leave
the corn iii proper condition for the har-
vest, for when that time comes the cult
waited crops must be left, whether they
have received thorough cultivation or not.
Machinery, too, must be put in readiness,
SO that there may be no unnecessary de-
lay when the reaper is put into the field.
Promptness in all these matters indicate to
certainty the entirely successful farmer !;
for it is not the man who puts no thought
into his business, but merely slips along in
the ruts made by the primitive rudeness of
agricultural appliances of early days, who
succeeds, but it is he who keeps himself
advised Of all that is new, adding whatev-
er is good to his own experience, which
brings the best results.
The recent rains which have occurred
over large portions of the country will no
doubt give the weeds luxuriant growth

ing corn, unless all available force is an
