TINE FOR PRUNING.-In 1866, says a CORES.
pondent of the Gardeners Monthly, had younp
orchard that began to prune in February, and
continued at intervals till August and those
pruned in June did better, and healed over SOON
er, than any pruned either before or after that
period. In 1871, l began to renovate an orchard
ten years old, that had been trained according to
the absurd fashion Of low heads which prevailed
at that time. 1t took great deal of cutting
and trimming, but was determined, and perse-
vered the result was that every wound made

SPRING HOUSE CLEANING.-When houses are
infested by cockroaehes, they can be kept away
by powdered borax. Keep it in tin pepper box
and sprinkle it wherever they CO. Paris green
is recommended, but it is poison; while borax
is harmless. Sprigs of wintergreen, or ground
ivy, will drive away small red ants, and branch
es of NORWOOD will make black ants "vamose
the ranch" Scald your bedstead in the hottest
sosp-suds you can apply; if there are traces of
bugs apply kerosene with small paint-brush.
1t is a cure. Tenants of city houses are Oft
en- annoyed by bugs, and cannot tell whence they
come. Perhaps the border of the wall paper
might divulge their source, the cornices of the
windows disclose their haunts. Again apply
kerosene, and they will no longer trouble you.

ABOUT BUrrER.-It takes no longer to set a
table neatly than it does to set it carelessly
NOW, IN regard to butter. We have it upon our
table three times day; therefore think it is
important that it should look inviting, not as We
so frequently see it, in both large and small pec-
es, surrounded by numberless crumbs, as in the
case when taken hurriedly out of the jar or tnb.
Nheh we purchase butter the better, plan ito
take out OF the jar, tub, or irkin, five or ten
pounds and work it over in wooden bowl into
small rolls Then you will always have a neat
looking roll of butter to set upon your table; a
smooth, round, slice instead of 'jumbled mass"

THE BEST WHTEwAsH.-The Light House
Board of the Treasury Department has published
a recipe for making a whitewash, which it is
said, has been found by experience to answer on
wood, brick, and stone nearly as well as oil pain
1t is this: Stake half bushel of unslacked lime
with boiling water, keeping it covered during
the process; strain it, and add peck of salt dis
solved in warm water; three pounds of ground
rice put in boiling water and boiled to a thin
paste; one half pound of powdered Spanish
whiting and pound of clear glue, dissolved in
warm water; mix these well together. and let the
mixture stand for several days. Keep the wash
TINS prepared in a kettle or portable furnace,
and when nsed, put it on hot as possible with
either painters or whitewash brushes.

How To NAIL CLAPBoARDs.-The Practical
Farmer says that clapboauis are often split by
driving large nails into the board that has just
been put on, sometimes checking the stud on
which the clapboard is nailed. This induces
leakage, and often speedy decay. The proper
method is pointed ont follows: After one
board is nailed on let the support nails be stuck
into the sheathing boards or studs, SO as to rest
on the upper edge of the board below. Then, af-
ter the ends are fitted, draw ont the support
nails aud lap the lower edge of the clapboart on
the board below not less than one inch. By OBJ
serving this direction cracks will be produced
near the lower edges of the boards. 1t will pay
well, also, to make holes for nails with sharp
brad-awl tgss--z~ n q = :

In answer to inquiries made concerning the
matter, the Churchman explains why Easter will
fall this year on the 10th rather than on the 9th
of April, by saying that Easter Day is regulated
not by a solar hut by a lunar cycle-the cycle
that regulates the Golden Number. Now, by a
solar calculation, a day always begins at mid
night; but by lunar calculation it begins at nOon
II, therefore, the Paschal full moon falls on
Saturday after II NJ, it is counted as falling on
Sunday: and then Easter day is, under the rule
in the Prayer Book, the Sunday following. This
is what happens in the present year. The Pas
eha full moon falls on Saturday, April :, at 2:43
T. NJ 1t is, therefore, counted as falling on sun
day, April 9, and Easter day is the Sunday fol-
lowing, j. e., April l6. 1t may be added, that
should the full moon fall on March 81, before IL
NJ, that full moon Counted as falling on March
20l would not regulate Easter Day, but the one
following. This happened in 1910.
