fruit, worth at least $50. The secret of
success with these old trees is to stir the
soil all around them as far as the roots ex-
tend, to manure literally, to cut out all the
dead wood and, about the second season,
when the tree has got a good start to,com-
mence grating. We take three seasons to
put on a new top, beginning with the
highest limbs and working down In re-
newing the yigor OF. the tree almost any
kind of manure or compost is available.
Wood-ashes is one of the best fertilizers.
Old bones. well buried, will pay large
interest on their cost. The contents of the
privy-vault and the cesspool, composted,
are exceedingly valuable in renovating
these old trees. In stirring the soil, care
should be taken not to break the roots
with the plow.s We attach about equal
importance to the stirring of the soil and
to the fertilizing, in the process of renoya-
tion.-Anaericdn Agriculturast.

Saving Straw For Fodder.

If cereal grain be harvested at the
proper period and the straw be cured as
it should be, the crop will make a large
quantity of excellent fodder But in many
instances straw is rendered unfit for fod--
der by being allowed to bleach in the
rain, dews and sunshine. The fact that
straw becomes brittle as it deadens shows
which gave it toughness, and, as the water
or sap was given off simultaneously with
its electricity, the albuminous compounds,
the most soluble and volatile constituents
of vegetation, doubtless escaped with the
eyapOrated sap. We can easily make
comparison between the nutritive value Of
dead brown standing grass and well-made
green hay, and the measure of difference
will afford good criterion by which to
estimate the amount of nutritive substances
that escape into the fleeing air in the
process of ripening our seed bearing for
grain crops. And such substances are for
the time lost or waited away on the winds
wings unless we provide some means Of
attracting and retaining them. Havingno
means of measuring the amount ofnutritive
matters thus escaping, we can assume
them at one-third; calling the seed an
other. and the dead straw the remaining
third. SO then onethird of nutritive sub
stances of our crops escapes into the air in
the state Of gas during the process of
ripening in summer and fall; and SO
every season. Unless we can attract those
gases back again and retain them for the
nourishment of them a third Of the food Of
next crop-and so Of each succeeding one
must be supplied in the shape of ma
nure or by further exhausture of the soil,
Considering, then, how few manure more
than once in seven years, and how many
not once in twenty-is it any wonder that
the best of soils are run out impoverished,
exhausted of their p-feeding substances,
as is now being done with the best lands
throughout the. Mississippi Valley? Es-
pecially is it any wonder that barrenness
ensues when in the majority of cases ma
nure is not supplied nor are the escaped
gases attracted fixed and combined for
the succeeding crops substances.-N. 7.

New Tops On Old Pear Trees.

THAT the pear is a ong-lived tree the
famous Endicott and Stuyvesant pear
trees, going back 200 years or more, at
test. Yet we frequently find trees that
look old at fifty years and less, with dead
limbs, messy trunks and fruitless boughs.
These old trees are often seedlings or Of
poor varieties, that have offered no partic-
ular inducement to their owners to care
for them. A crop of astringent OF sour
pears is not much missed when it. fails
These old trees sometimes occupy lawns
or fields near the house, and will repay
abundantly the little care that is needed to
give them new start and TO graft them
with standard varieties Some twenty
years ago we took up one of these stunted
old trees at distance from the house and
removed it, with block of frozen earth.

growth of a foot of wood the first season.
1t was then grated with IN improved va
riety; the gratis took kindly, began to
bear the third year, and have yielded good
crops of delicious fruit ever since. Five
years ago we grated an old tree in the
garden, which bore only Indifferent winter
pears, about second-rate for cooking. with
the Paradise of Autumn. We began to
get pears the second season from the

quantity every year since. Last year it

Quire peculiar flavor in their flesh from
the mountain berries consumed. and
the canYas-back ducks of the Chesapeake
owe their delicacy to the wild celery abun-
dant in these waters, and upon which
these birds feed. So. some portions of the
West, among them the sandy marshes OF
the Grand Calumet, which contain wild
celery, are favorite resources of this bird.
The diseased livers of geese are produced
bya peculiar confinement and food. From
them the celebrated Strasburg pies are
made.
Even the bones of animals, and particu-
larly birds, are tinged by the coloring
matter of substances consumed. Oats,
wheat, barley and rye form muscle large
ly. Corn forms muscle in less degree,
but fattens animals fast This is why
oats should form principal part of the
food of horses used for fast work
Some years since F. Papillon, French
scientist, experimental on pigeons and
rats, with the view of finding the imme-
diate modification of the bones of animals
so fed Phosphate Of strontia, phosphate
of alumina and phosphate of magnesia
were mixed whirlpool and given. them.
These experiments were continued for
several MONTHS without the animals and
birds SO treated being sensibly affected, so
far as their outward condition was con
.cerned When Killed, however, and their
bones submitted to analysis they gave the
following results, showing that they had
taken up the minerals named:
Ash of bones of pigeons, in 100 parts,
gave Lime 1915; strontia, 8.45; phos-
phoric acid, 41.S0; phosphate of magnesia,
$50; residue, ITO; total $3.50.
The bones of a rat, fed as heretofore de-
scribed, and submitted to analysis, in 100
parts, gave: Alumina, sos; lime, 41.10.
The bones of another rat, to which phos-
phate of magnesia had been given, gave,
in 100 parts: Magnesia, $50; lime, 4615.
Thus we see that animals are very sensi-
bly, affected by the food given Acorns, it
is we'll known, will render the flesh of the
hogs fed upon them soft and oily. Cows
will give back in their milk the odOr of
the food eaten And so milk and butter
will readily take up any odor to which
they may be subjected Hence the care

that animals kept for their milk be clearly

The Infiuence.Of Food on Animals.

DIsTILLERY-SLo is not necessarily an
unhealthy food for stock. 1t is the man.
ner in which it is fed that results in dis
easing the animal, rendering its flesh and
milk. in many cases, totally unfit for
food
The reason of this is the slop is fed hot,
and in undue quantities; that IS, with not
a sufficient quantity of other food. The
consequence is, the animals systems be-
come diseased, and, if the feeding be per
sisted in long enough, they die loathsome
and disgusting objects. s.s
But animals put into distillery- stables
for fattening do not remain long enough
for this-three or four months being suffi-
cient for rendering them fat. Even with
the best of care, however, distillery-mash
and other such sloppy food render the
flesh of animals so fed soft and more liza
bic to putrefy than animals fed on hard
grain. a.-.
The milk of cows especially is peculiar
" liable to be influenced by the food
giyen: that the secretions of animals are
so influenced, the numberless cases of
POISONING in New York and other large
cities from the use of swill-milk is suffi-
cient evidence If other testimony be
wanted, the fearful stencil arising from
the wards in the outskirts of Chicago,
where this swill is fed to milch-cows,
would probably be convincing. Food
does influence the quality of the flesh OF
the animal consuming it. The beet
of cattle fattened upon upland prai-
RE pastures is well known for its
.iuicv richness and superior excel
lence; the grouse Of Pennsylvania ae-

Killing Weeds.

IT is a great mistake to cut Oft the tops
of thistles, quack and other weeds whose
roots are tenacious of life. Frequently
this is done in order to pillow the whole
under more effectually;Abut jointer and
chain to drag the weeds down will gener-
ally effect the object. When once turned
under the more top there is attached to the
roots the harder the latter find it to start.
When we transplant garden vegetables we
thin the tops severely to insure life, and
for a converse reason we should not do
this with weeds This spring we are
ashamed to say some mallows got a rank
growth in a corner Of the garden before it
was plowed The first thought was to
NOW the weed, in order to pillow it better
but a moments reflection gave us a better
plan than this. We turned the whole
under as completely as possible, and to-
day June 15) every particle of the weed
has rotted. The top was full of sap, and
this in the hot earth rotted so rapidly that
the roots attached to it could not get a
chance to rally. The growth Of this late
planted corner of the garden has been most
extraordinary and we have small doubt it
was due to those decaying mallows.
Notwithstanding the very severe winter
these weeds had lived uninjured in the
open ground and were ready to grow with
the opening Of spring, having started in
tall after all the garden vegetables had
been gathered | do not recommend
growing mallows for spring blowing
Possibly little rye sown on garden or
corn and potato ground would answer
every purpose and be less objectionable in
many respects.-Roral NeW Yorker.

and street on summer days in the country.
Furnishing houses show them readv-made
in very pretty fashions for SIS They are
of plain blue or lavender, with beited
| basque, deep apron with sash ends or puffs
behind, and skirts of walking length

edged with italian Valenciennes. More
elaborate costumes are of sprigged lawn,
with imitation Malines lace for trimming,
and with many rows of thread insertion in
the basque and apron. The substantial
linen lawns that wear well and do not fade
are chosen in striped and barred patterns
mere lines of blue, black, brown or
cherry on white. Those with black Tipes
and bars are very popular, and are enli-
vened by knots of cardinal red ribbon on
the belt, throat and wrists The best quail
tiles of linen lawn cost forty cents yard,
while the mixtures with a little cotton in
them are twenty-five cents.
Suits of American percale are also shown
in the furnishing houses. They are made

The Chinese Quarter, San Francisco.

THE Chinese quarter is system of
alleys and passages, labyrinthian in their
sinuosities, into which the sunlight never
enters; where it's dark and dismal even at
MONDAY. A stranger attempting toexplore
them would be speedily and hopelessly
lost. Many Of them seem mere Sits in
the TANKS of the streets-dirty rivulets
flowing into the great stream of life.
Often they have no exit--terninating in
foul court, dead wall, a gambling or
opium den. They literally swarm with
life; for this human hive is never at rest.
Every dent and angle-every nook and
Granny il the wall-every foot OF surface
on the ground is animate. The ulti-
mate problem Of Monaghan existence
seems to be how to get the greatest num-
Der of human beings into the least
possible space. They herd together
like cattle in their workshops, eating
houses and places of social resort. A
Iodging-hOuse represents an almost
solid mass of human anatomy. The
authorities, some time since, found it nee
essary, for sanitary reasons, to pass an
ordinance prescribing 500 cubic feet of air
equal to space eight feet square, to each :
person IN Chinese tenements; but such
contempt have these creatures for oxygen
that they constantly evade or ignore it.
1ou might suppose these slums would be
breeding places of pestilence, but such
does not seem to be the fact. No epidemic
has violently ragged in the Chinese quar-
ter. When, some years ago, the small
pox was carrying off the Caucasian at the
rate of nearly 100 week, the Monaghan
passed unframed. This remarkable ex-
emption is due partly TO the fact that all
Cinnamon are inoculated in childhood.
and that they pay more strict regard tocer-
tain essential sanitary laws. The bath is
a part of their religion; so is the tooth
bush, both OF which are daily used under
all circumstances Monthly.
