Wash for Fruit Trees.

William Saunders, Superintendent of the
Government gardens sat Washington, uses
the following wash for fruit trees: Put
half bushel of lime and four pounds of

A Word to Parents.

If you wish to make your son like his
business, place him in responsible places.
Trust him; consult him about the work he
is to do. He will take more interest in
his work, and be much more likely to sue
cesd when he starts for himself. Don't
make slaves of your children. For want
of proper training many a young man has
grown up without discipline. He has been
able to run through in an incredible short
space of time all that his strong minded
father left him. Twenty years ago we knew
such man. To-day his son owns only a
poor old span of horses, and is Lying
from hand to mouth-and very poor liv-
ing at that. The fine estate slipped easily
from the hands of his son, who had no skill
to manage it. So one generation makes
money for the next to squander.

How to Make Farming Pay.

2 A great deal has been written and pub.
lishsd upon this subject, and it all amounts
to about as much as the paper it is printed
upon. Every theory offered depends to
great extent upon the one who und ertakes
to carry il out, and the best theories will
fail il no. backed by prudence and industry.
Every year many undertake farming with
every facility at command, lands, good
buildings and places we'll equipped in
every department, and yet very many of
these soon starve out. And it is the same
way in every trade and occupation. To
make farming pay, there must be energy
and industry. These are the great consid-
erations. AS to the kind of stock, or the
kind OF crops, they are only secondary mat
tiers in comparison we'll directed labor. In
our early days we served an apprenticeship
upon farm in Maryle, with the late John
Dunwoody, of that township. The farm
contains about one hundred acres. A con.
siderable portion of it is hilly and rough
and also several acres of waste, comparative
ly speaking. Bnt like most land on Darby
creek, it yields bountifully, if properly car
ed for. Mr.. Dunwoody always had good
crops, using, but little other than barnyart
manure. The plan pursued was the gener
al rotation of this section-corn, oats, po
tatoss and wheat. The markets were regu
larly attended with butter, veal, fruit, pork
etc. And the place prospered. The own
er grew wealthy. He was emphatically
working man. Everything was attende
to at the proper time, and this, with "Com
on boys" was the secret of his success

A Recipe to be Miserable.

The best recipe we know, if you want to
bes.miserable, is to think about yourself,
how much you have not made. and the
poor prospects for the future. A brave man
with soul in him gets out of such pitiful
rats and laughs at discouragements, roofs
up his sleeves, whistles and sings, and
makes the best of life. This earth was
never intended for paradise, and man
who rises above his discouragements and
keeps his manhood will only be the strong.

noble ship has pesn saved by throwing
overheard its most valuable cargo, and
