How To Raise Ton.aroc..

down and spreading over the ground like a
vine. They never lasted through the season

the earth rottrd or was prrycd upon by
slugs, worms and mice. Then raised them
above the ground by laying down posts or
scantling, and covering with hath, old pick is.

that they should be trained on stakes, u stalk

you what that is.

Then put in two stout posts at the ends.
Then strain galvanized or other wire upon
these posts so as to get about four on them,
one above another, If your posts are some
distance apart, set stakes with crow-bar

The Farmer Trials.

Rev. David Swing is rusticating among lis
old farmer friends and sends some character
istc reflections to the IHidHce. He thinks a
farmers life is not all tinted. and
proves it, too, in these reflections
The farmer, if he possesses any emotion
al nature, is mad about half the time at his
neighbors COW or pig, and il voxed half the
time at the weather. The preacher who
comes home from an empty church. and the
lawyer who comes home with an adverse de
cision in pocket, do not cast themselves on
the lounge with n deeper disgust than fills the
farmers soul when the fortieth day of rain
sets IN and his hired man comes back to the
barn from the muddy field. The average far
mer will be awake at night to see if that cloud
Will not pity his parched field, or will not
spare his half-drowued wheat. The Sunday
school books were wont to tell us children
about farmers who were killed by lightning
because they said bad words about rains in
harvest. In tract, from which sucked III
some theology when a babe there was the
picture of streak Of lightning running down
the pichfork of an infidel who had in anger
pointed his hay-irons towards the clouds that
were wet ping on his wrli-cured timothy. To
what information this tract afforded. addition

years so that now hazard the opinion that

Back TO the Farm.

Three years ago III considering the deplora-
hle state Of the country. resulting from the
disastrous but ncyitable reaction that is known
rs the panic Of 1873, we remarked. I'VE
DO not pretend TO the spirit of prophecy. but
We venture one prediction that farms in
New England will be worth considerably
more in three years from this writing than
they are now, putting their value at what they
will bring
As there was almost no market for farms at
that time. it would be difficult to say whether
the thing prophesied has actually come to pass
or not but 1t is true that farms are more val
liable than they were, rs property, because
they are not only paying well but are sale
able. Thesales noticed by the press all through
the spring, have continued into the summer
IN many old sections and the tide of emigra-
tiop to the West has greatly surpassed, in the
number Of actual settlers. anything known in
recent years
All this is very hopeful; more so than any
conditions Of technical finance For fifteen
years up to the beginning Of 1870, almost
every young man raised in the older settled
sections ofthe country was crazy to go West -"
or go into store, Oh to a railroad, or into
the city,-anywhere away from the old New
England farm. With the bottom falling out
of almost everything except these granite hills
for the past five years, the pcrplcxed absentee
begins to be sorry that he ever left the old
Homestead" He has come to think that land
Is property, and to know that sometimes
stocks and bonds are not and so as a natural
consequence lie writes occasional letters to
his old neighbors to ascertain whether or not
there are any farms for sale in the town
where he was born, or if there is not a chance
to locate near his friends at the West This
means much. II means the coming Of a time
when men will be better satisfied with slow.

Peace. plenty, contentment, healthful con-
ditions of living for mind and body and Il

Cultivation Of Orchards.

Prof Beal is very decided on the matter OF
orchard culture. He says IF you have
money to fool away, seed down yoar young
orchard to clover and timothy, to SOW a crop
of wheat or oats. If you want trees TO thrive,
cultivate well till they are seven to ten years
old, Spread ashes manure, or salt broadcast
Stop cultiyating in August weeds or no weeds
This allows the trees to ripen for winter 8"
lie adds that the question whether to cult
waite old orchards or not must be answered by
mRnuring the trees. IL the color of the
leaves is good, and they grow well, and bear
fine fruit they are doing well enough, even if
In grass But if the leaves are pale, the an
nual growth less than "A foot on twelve year
trees, and the fruit small aud poor, something
is the matter, and they are suffering from "a
want of cultivation, or manure, or both
Prof, b. says that ITO judge of the condition
of an apple is like judging of the condition of
sheep in pasture. Look at the sheep, and
if they are plump and fat they are all right "
