PROTECTING PEAR-TREEs.-Ac CORES
pondent from Pittsford, New York,
asks: ''Would it be advisable to thatch
young pear-trees during the winter? /
have some choice dwarfs that were put
out last spring, and are now about 81
feet high. They are located on a knoll
or plateau where they get the full force
of the northwest winds, which, blow
ing off our lakes, are quite severe dur
ing the winter" In case the trees have
started an early growth, and the young
wood is fully matured, there is no necess-
ity for protecting the pear-trees by
thatching. A late sueculent growth of
wood is often winter-killed; but when
the wood is ripened, there is no danger
from this cause In Monroe County. 1t
would be good policy to plant some rap
idly growing evergI eens in the spring,
such as Norway spruce or white pine,
in line ten or fifteen feet apart on the
west side of the orchard. By the time
the pear-trees come into bearing, this
row of evergeens will be large enough
to break the force of the wind, and save
the fruit from being whipped off the
trees. Thatching young pear trees in
that locality seems an uncalled-for labor
and eXpense.-Scribner's Magazine.

A MOTHER IN-LAw.-She had sue

household.
Presently the son died, but she con-

Then the daughter-in-law married
again, but still the old lady insisted on
bossing things.
A friend essayed to convince her that
she could have no possible right to
interfere,-that the new husband was
nothing TO her.
"Nothing?" she cried, "he nothing
to me! Why, am not his step-mother-

CURE OF BUNIoNs.-A good bunion
remedy is TO use pulverized saltpetre
and sweet oil; obtain at the druggists
five or six cents worth of saltpetre,
put into bottle with sufficient olive
oil to nearly dissolve it; shake up well,
and rub the inflamed parts night and
morning, and more if painful. This Is
a well tried remedy.

SMOKY KYSTovEs.-There is very simple
way of avoiding the disagreeable smoke
and gas which always pours into a room
fire place on damp day. Put in the
wood and coal as usual; but, before
lighting them, ignite handful of paper
or shavings placed on the top of the
coal. This produces current of hot
air in the chimney, which draws up
the smoke and gas at once. Not one
person in fifty even thinks of this easy
expedient.

AGRICULfURAL.

WHY PLANTS SHOULD Nor BE KEPT IN
BEDROOMS BY NIGHT.-About one-half
the dry weight OF plants is carbon, and
this is all obtained from the carbon di-
oxide-or carbonic acid-of the air,
which constitutes only .0004. or 1-250O
of its volume. 1t was once scientifically,
and is still popularity, believed that
plants, in respiration reverse the pro-
cess OF animals-that is, that they inhale
carbonic acid and exhale oxygen. Ii is
quite true that vegetation, as a resultant
OF its processes of life, does evolve oxy-
gen and absorb carbon dioxide; but this
is not in consequence of respiration.
Plants, like animals, inhale oxygen, and
yield up to the air nearly equal vol
ume of carbon dioxide: this chemical
decomposition is performed by all the
growing cells, and at all times alike. In
addition to this, the chlorophyl cells
have the property, under the controll-
ing power of sunlight, of absorbing car
bon dioxide from the outside air, of de-
composing it into its constituent
elements, of appropriating the carbon
for the building up of tissue, and of
liberating the now free oxygen. This
is process of assimilation rather than
of respiration. The formation of carbon
dioxide at the expense of the atmos-
pheric oxygen, like our breathing, goes
on continuously and gently, while the
reverse process, analogous 10 the feed
ing of animal life, though continuous
and powerful under the influence of
light, ceases instantly when that is
Withdrawn. During the day the assimi-
lative process by which carbon is alb
sorbed and oxygen liberated is so pow
erful as to mask completely the gentler
process of breathing; but at night,
when assimilation ceases, respiration
may be easily detected. For this reason
plants by day purify, and by night viii
ate, the air. A number of experiments
made by the French scientist, Boussin-
gault, prove that, as final result of
vegetation, far more oxygen is liber-
ated than is consumed.-ScribRer

PETROLEUM ON SHINGLES.-ln regard
to applying petroleum to shingles to
preserve them, a writer says: SIT enters
the pores of the wood at once, and as it
hardens makes it more compact in tex
ture, and rather less liable to take fire.
The petroleum also prevents the surface
of the shingles from rising in downy
fibres or "fuzz" and il is, on the whole,
not so liable to fire from sparks when
treated with ii. We have tried the ex-
pertinent with shingles oiled some time
previously, and find they are not so
easily ignited by outside fire, although
when once burning, they will, OF course,
produce more flame than the wood with
out TIE petroleum" Petroleum is also
very good to apply TO theiron work and
steel of farm implements TO prevent
their rusting when not in use. The
crude article costs but SO or 81 per bar
rel-the price may be higher at present
and it is useful to keep on hand.
When any outbuilding, or even your
dwelling house, is to be painted, one
half the expense may be saved by apply
ing coat of petroleum with fine
whitewash brush, let it dry several
weeks, and then put on one coat of
paint, and by so doing second coat of
paint is rendered unnecessary.

'.Arrah, an if we didn't put the shut
ters up every night, there wouldn't be
a whole pane of glass left in the house,
for the cratures bateing against thim."

Buy SMALL TRERs. - Nurserymen
usually describe trees on their cata-
logues as "second class" ''medium,"
''first Glass; and extra" The differ
ence in these classes is principally, if
not wholly, in the size and height of the
trees; and as most farmers desire the
best, they suppose that the large extra"
trees merit that description, and hence
order them. The fact is, however, that
small tree will grow faster and Cif a
fruit tree) come into bearing condition
sooner than large one; and, as the
Ne,c En0lGnd Homestead states, in half a
dozen years the tree that was small
when planted viii be larger and finer
than the other. The larger the tree,
the larger the roots which it has, and
the larger the roots the less fibres there
will be upon them. a tree that has
plenty of fibrous roots will grow readily
il proper care is used in transportation !;
but no amount of skill can coax a tree
to live and flourish which is destitute of
these little flbres. The roots of large
trees are always more or less mutilated
i'm the process of taking up, while small
trees sustain little injury from this
source. Dealers in tree assert that eX-
perienced men buy small, thrifty trees,
while those who are just starting are
anxious for the largest TO be had.
Those who are to set trees the coming
season will do well 10 learn from the
experience of those who, at considerable
loss to themselves, have demonstrated
that small trees are the ones 10 buy.
