PAyINc FARM IARDs.-For paving with
stone, large, fiat stones are Objectionable,
because stock are liable to Slip on them
and be injured. Flat stones, not more than
eighteen OF twenty inches square, however,
can be employed for this purpose, but even
then it is better to alternate them with
rows of cobble stones. On heavy soil it
is desirable to draw in a coating of fine
gravel, six or eight inches thick, in which
to set the stones, bringing them all to a
level by excavating to let the large ones
down so that the upper surface of all may
be at an equal height. AS they are set
they should have fine gravel scattered over
them to fill up the spaces between the
stones, and a PAYERS FOUNDER should be
used to drive all down firmly, so as to leave
an even surface, sloping regularly in ac
cordance with the designated grade towards
the center of the yard. A trowel is useful
III laying cobblestone pavement, in order
to handily tit the stones into the soil, that
they may all be level on the TOP, and a
stretched line as guide is a great help for
this purpose.

MILDEw.-The following, it is said, will
often prove etfectual i'll removing mildew:
Make very week solution OF chloride of
full to quart of water; strain it carefully,
and dip the spot on the garment into it,
and if the mildew docs not disappear i'm
mediateIy. lay it IL the sun for few min
utes, or dip it again into the lime water.
The work is eGectually and speedily done,
and the chloride OF lime neither rots the
cloth nor removes delicate col0rs when Snf-
ficiently diluted and the articles rnscd
afterwards in clear water

Tree Planting.

"April is the month young trees are
generally planted in the orchard. The
great losses, which some persons COM
plain of, can generally be avoided by a
little timely care and attention. Neg
ligence or carelessness in planting
trees cannot well be remedied. Give
plenty of room for the roots, spread
them out, do not bend them out of
their natural position. Plant an inch
deeper than they grew in the nursery,
to allow for the settling of the soil,
BE careful to work the fine mould
about the roots. Press gently with
the foot. When water is plenty and
convenient, a few quarts of water
when the roots are covered, is good
plan when the soil is dry, covering the
surface always with the dry soil-this
will prevent a crust from forming
Exchange.
There is no subject, just now, that
is agitating the minds OF our people
more than the subject of tree planting.
aud there are as many different theo-
ries as there are persons. People,
however, will find, after they have
been in the State few years, that they
will have to learn to plant trees, over
again. Although they may have
known how to plant trees back east,
yet, by pursuing the same method
here, nine times out of ten, perhaps,
the trees would not make a good
growth.
The following we have always found
safe rules: In taking up the tree some
of the roots must necessarily be cut
off, so that some of the tops should be
Topped of to restore the equilibrium.
Another rule we have found safe
one, is to wash the roots off thorough
ly before planting. When the trees
are received there will be found stick
ing to the roots considerable amount
of clay, which should all be removed
before the trees are planted. Our
springs, here in Kansas, are frequently
dry, and if the clay is left on the roots
it will dry around them and the result
will be, the trees will make a poor
growth. If any one believes in pud-
ding the roots of trees before plant
ing, just let him try our methed once
and he will never go back TO the old
one.
Out of Lightweight apple trees
planted in the spring of 1874, we did
not lose tree, and all made fine
growth. Ifyou are planting trees try
the plan just once.

Rulings Of the Master of the State Grange.

The State Grange cannot grant di.
mlts to members of dormant Oranges
until the charter and manuals of the
Grange are returned to the Secretary
of the State Grange, and all back dues
to the State Grange, at the rate of six
cents a quarter for each member from
the time the Grange ceased to make
reports and pay dues, must accompany
the application. Said application
must be endorsed by deputy officer
of the State Grange or the Master and
Secretary of subordinate or county
Grange. The application must state
that those signing it were members OF
the Grange named. and in good stand
ing at the time the Grange ceased to
hold regular meetings, and that the
charter and manuals have been re-
turned to the Secretary of the State
Grange, or satisfactory reasons given
why they have not been so returned.
Dimits hold good during the COLI
tinuance of the annual word under
which they were granted. No dues
accrue during the legal existence Of a
dimit.
All applicants on dimits must pay
dues to the subordinate Grange to
which application is made from the
termination of the annual word under
which said dimit was granted.
Applicants to a Pomona Grange are
voting members as soon as admitted.
Fourth degree delegates will become
honorary members after their term ex-
pires, unless the Grange, by special
enactment, in the bylaws, continued
them as voting members, in which case
they must Fay dues.

Calves and Babies.

An acquaintance once complained
to me that when she took her children
into the country in pursuit OF fresh air
and wholesome food for them, she
couldn't get the latter from the farm
er's folks where she boarded, because
the calves had to have the best of eve
rything. There was plenty of milk
brought in, and strained, every night,
but only the most meager supply was
grudgingly allowed to her and her chill
dren. They could have all the butter
they wanted, but the milk was all need
ed for the calves, and the cream skim
med from it before it went back to the
calves was all needed for butter. Fine
flour bread and butter, with plenty OF
cake and pie, were set before them
freely, but she wanted something bet
ter for her growing children. 1t was
vain to ask for oatmeal or graham fare,
which would furnish something to
strengthen the little ones as we'll as to
fatten them. But when she discovered
quantity of canaille, or middlings,
she thought perhaps the children could
have some made into porridge to exc
out their poor little suppers. But no
The calves did not have enough milk,
though they took it all, and the ca
naille had been brought home for their
use. Stock-raising was profitable in
that part of the country, but no one
seemed to think of applying to the
rearing of children the same common
sense rules that were understood and
accepted in respect to raising calves.
No one would have thought it so good
for the four-footed babies to feed them
on fine flour broad, and cream, as to
give them porridge made of shorts and
skinned milk even though sour. Four
footed babies are treated on scientific
principles, while precious human ba-
bics take their chances from Ignorant
and hap-hazard treatment.-American

The editor of the Practical Farme

The editor of the Practical Farmer
says:
Having on our premises, planted by
former owners, probably twenty years,
half dozen old grape vines with large
weather-beaten trunks or stems, which
made annually but little new wood
and yielded but few poor grapes, two
seasons ago we cut off the branches,
and laid the main stems down in the
trenches, covering with about foot
of earth. Vigorous and healthy shoots
sprang up in great abundance-the
weak ones of which were broken of,
and leading ones at proper distances
trained to the arbor. The new growths
are now clean, healthy and strong
sufficient entirely to cover the large
arbor the present season; we look for
bushels of fruit from the new bearing
wood. We see old grape vines every
where doing no good and which could
be made young and thrifty by this
process.

We invite the attention Of all who wish to pur-

Of this kind, and very far in advance Of all com
petitors.
To this machine we expect to attach our SELF

And now parting word:
We have been selling reapers many years. By

not whether we do as We agree and make good
1t is nattery to be proud Of well-deserved repu-
