TmE roR PRrNrNe.-In 1866. saws

TpIE FOR PRUNING.-In 1866, says a
correspondent of the Gardeners Month
iy, had a young orchard that | began to
prune in February, and continued at iu-
teryals till August, aud those pruned
in June did better, healed over sooner,
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 absured fashion
of low head which prevailed at that time.
1t took great deal of cutting and trim
ming, but | was determined and perseser-
ed; the result was that every wound made
in June-the time the work was dome
began at once to heal over and by the
time growth stopped in the Fall, every
place where branch had been cut off
bad a beautiful ring of new bark and
wood, OF from one-third to one-half inch
in width all around it, and still they are
doing well.

Rouen brakes and ducks should be the
eounterparts of wild ducks in color, The
drake should have a narrow white ring
round the neck. The duck must have no
ring, if 50, she should go into the kitchen.
She must not be bred from. The duck
must have the dark bill with yellow side
and point leaden or green bills are both
disqualifOatious. Ducks aud brakes alike
must have dull orange colOred legs; they
cannot be too large Oats and barley are
good for them. The young ones want
meal, gravel and growing grass, put in a
shallow vessel with water; the same is
good for adults. A little raw meat adds
much to their weight

Fence Posts Top End Down.


II W. 5. Ia Couafy Geatieniaa, saws
"A study Of vegetable physiology led me
to try several experiments, many years
ago, to throw light upon this question.
The sap or moisture goes up in the sap
wood from the roots 70 the leaves Of the
trees. | found il the post is butt-end
down, the pores are open upward, and
water can 80 up, and thus keep the post
moist betsee wind and water, which must
Cause rapid decay, II appeared proba-
bic that the pores were open only upward
and not downward 10 the tree. To test
this, | cut small maple sapling, 1.-TWO
Inches through, in May, leaving the
limbs all en- and placed the butt-end in
pail Of brine. In thirty-six hours the
leaves we're saturated with this brine the
taste Of salt being strong.
At the same time I had cut another
maple sapliDg and cut off the top branch,
leaving the rest of the limbs on. After wind
ing cloth around the butt-end, to prevent
evaporation, l placed the top eud in pail
Of brine, and allowed il to remain several
days, but no brine had been absorbed at
the top end. 1t had not penetrated to the
pores as fast as the end was immersed in
the brine, for If the bark was seraped,
there was not the slightest taste of salt to
be found. This being the ease in the
green tree how much more must the pores
Of the dry tree be closed from the top end
downward ? have tried many similar
experiments, and think the question set
tied that if a post is placed top end down,
no moisture can ascend from the bottom
Of the hole up the post to rot it; but when
the butt-end is down, the moisture can
ascend the pores very rapidly if green,
and slowly if dry. Seasoned posts are
found to last much longer, because the pores
are more or less filed within the seasoned
wood. l should also infer that placing
the top end down would make more differ
euce in a green than dry post In pur-
suancc Of the fact that the pores of green
timber have been often saturated with
different solutions to preserve it, by i'm
mersing the butt-end, freshly cut, ID the
solution to be absorbed, it win also be
noted that burning or charming the posts
only closes the pores and prevents the alb.
sorbing Of water.

with newspapers aud books, to seek
some companion at The store, hotel,

Conversation, IN many cases, is
Just what prevents many people
from relapsing into uttor selfshness
at their tiresides. This conversation
should not simply occupy husband
and wife and the older members Of
the family, but extend itself to the
children. Parents should be careful
to talk with them, to enter into
their life, TO share their trifles, TO as-
sist ia their studies, TO meet them in
the thoughts and feelings of their
childhood. 1t Is "A great step in edu-
cation, when around the evening
lamp, are gathered the different
members Of tho family, sharing their
occupation with one an0ther-the
