Trimming Growing Plants.

Everyone admires beautiful form
in a plant, an evenness of growth Of
the various branches to give fine
balance to it. There are some plants
whose habits are naturally straggly
and uncouth. While they are grow
ing, a little nipping back of the lead
ing branches with the fingers, or
with pair of shears, will hold them
in check, while other branches will
be encouraged to grow to the same
size. We will cite, for instance, the
Lemon yerbena. This seldom makes
a slightly shrub when left to itself,
although it is a favorite owing to its
sweet scent and delicate green. By
pruning back the leading branches,
it will soon gro& into a wcll.rounded
and closely formed shrub. If you de-
sire it to grow tree-shaped, encourage
1t to grow tall by nlpplng back the
ends of side limbs till it has acquir-
ed the right height, then, to prevent
growing one.sided, and to make it
well-formed nip back all the shoots
that are out of balance. This same
system can be applied to roses, gera-
NUNS, and, in fact, to any plants
that are wanted to grow in better
shape. 1t is not. at all necessary to
cut branches off close to the stalk, in
fact, it is better not to do so. But 4
little nipping back of the ends Of
growing shoots is all that is requir-
ed.

What the Birds Do.

Farmers should spare the birds -
While it is undcniable that they are
sometimes severe on the corn and
sprouting grain, it is nevertheless a
fact that they compensate by destroy
ing insects which might do more

nighthawk are the guardians of the
atmosphere. They check the in

and larks, protect the surface of the

Home Life aHundred Years Ago.

One hundred years ago not pound
of coal or cubic foot illuminating
gas had been burned in the country.
No iron stoves were used and no con-
triyance8 for economizing heat were
employed until Dr. Franklin invent
ed the iron-hame fireplace which
still bears his name. All the cook
ing and warming in town and coun-
try we re done by the aidof fire kind
led on the brick oven. Pine knots
or tallow candles furnished the light
for the long winter nights and sand
ed floors supplied the place of rugs
and carpets. The water used for
household purposes was drawn from
deep wells by the creaking sweep"
No form of pump was used in this
country, so far as we can learn, until
the commencement of the present
century, There were no frictiOn
matches in those early days, by the
aid of which fire could be easily
kindled, and if the fire "went out"
upon the hearth over night, and the
timber was damp so that the spark
would not catch, the alternative re-
manned of wading through the snow
mile or so to borrow a brand of a
neighbor. Only one room in any
house was warm unless some of the
family was i'll; in all the rest the tenn.
perature was at zero during many
nights in the winter. The men and
women of a hunerod years ago un-
dressed and went to their beds in I'll
temperature colder than that of our
barns and woodsheds and they never
complained.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
suIphur Zoe searlet Fever.

DR.. Henry Pigeon writes to the
London Laneent as follows; "rhe
marvellous success which has atten-
ded my treatment of scarlet fever by
sulphur induces me to let my medi-
cal brethren know Of my plan, SO
that they may be able to apply the
same remedy without delay. All
the cases in which l used it we're
very well marked, and the epidermis
on the arms in each case came away
like the skin Of snake. The fol-
lowing was the exact case: Thor
oughly anoint the patient twice dali
ly with sulphur ointment; give five
to ten grains of sulphur in a little
jam three times a day. Sufficient
sulphur was burned, twice daily (on
Goals on shoHel,) to fill the room
with the fumes, and, Of course was
thoroughly inhaled by the patient
Under this mode of treatment each
case improved Immediately, and
none were over eight days in making
a complete recovery, and / firmly be-
lieye in each it was prevented from
spreading by the treatment adopted.
One case was ina large school, Hav-
ing had a large experience inSsearlet
fever last year and this, | feel some
confidence in my own judgment, and
am of opinion that the very mild,
est cases I ever saw do not half so
well as bad cases by the sulphur
treatment and as far as 1 can judge,
sulphur is as near a specific for scar,
let fever as possible"

A man bought a gallon of gin TO
take home, and, by way of label,
wrote his name upon card, which
happened to be the seven of clubs,
aud tied it to the handle. A friend
coming along and observing the jug,
quietly remarked, THAT an awful
careless way to leave that liquor!"-
Why?" said Tom, because some
body might come along with the
eight of clubs and take it."

Effect of Cold Iron on the Mu-
cOus Membrane.

People who clip horses and leave
them out of doors without blankets
are Just now the objects Of the atten.
ton of societies for the prevention
of cruelty to animals, There is an
other cruelty often thoughtlessly
practiccd, which unfortunately the
above associations cannot prevent,
and that is the putting of intensely
cold iron bits into the mouths of the
animals. Cold iron acts on the deli.
cate lining membrane of the mouth,
very much as if the metal were red
hot, and exoriates and blisters the
tender parts in its vicinity. There
was 4 great excitement one cold day,
not many Winters ago, in the usual
crowd which throngs Broadway near

A New Breed Of Domestic Cattle.

It is stated in the Turf. Fed and
Farm, an agricultural Journal, that
the farmers in Nebraska have com
menced the domestication Of the buff
falo. The wild animals while young
are introduced among herds Of the
tame stock; of course, only one or two
at time. Half and quarter breeds
are found to be very hardy, and in
the yield of milk the COWS raised Of
mixed stock give even more than the
average yield of rich milk, The ex-
pertinent promises well, as the en-
durance of the wild animals is i'm
parted to the domestic stock. In
this way the determination of the
species will take a new form, and
when wild bufaloes become legcnda-
ry creatures the progeny of the race
will still exist in modified, though
probably more useful, forms.
