FARM AND HOME.
Pruning Trees.

Set green hand to prune trees where
limbs of any size are to be removed, and
the chances sre, ten to one, that he will
commence at the top and saw through
the limb until it falls of its own weight,
tearing down the bark aud wood, infict-
ing a great, ugly wound, which may
require years to heal, and which, if not
carefully protected from the weather,
will cause such delay as to destroy the
tree The method commonly recon-
mended to prevent injury is, to begin at
the bottom and cut half way through,
and then finish at the top; or, with very
large limbs, to have them supported by
crotched pole or pitchfork held by an
assistant below but we have found
better plan, and quite as easy, to be to
make two cuts, the first at convenient
distance, say foot, from the point where
we wish the limb to be removed. This
short stump can, except in the case OF
very large limbs, be easily held in one
hand, while the final cut is made with
the other.
Wherein Consists tIne Success + Farming.
Successful farming demands he breed
ing and rearing Of farm animals of some
kind, not only for dairy products, meat,
wool and increase, but for manure.
Farm-yard manure must always remain
the standard fertilizer, while experience
in this country has shown that, under
skilltul hands, it may be supplemented
by commercial fertilizers. Tits claimed.
however, by good English farmers that
many Of the artificial fertilizers act
chiefly as stimulant, and after q time
the land refuses to answer the spur. This
is most apparent on the poor and lighter
soils, but even strong land loses heart
unless a fair proportion of farm>yard
manure is applied. The loudest agricul.
tural complaints in Great Britain are
from districts where scientific farming
has been carried to its highest pitch,
such as the Scotch Lothians and in Nor.
folk. 1t is highly important that, in the
pu' chase of artificial fertilizers, farmers
should deal only with those houses of
established reputatiou.-[ Chautauqua

Sea Waits.

The author of that quaint old saying,
" Birds of a feather flock together" must
have been on some circumpolar breeding
ground years ago, where countless myri-
ads of waterfowl then darkened the
light of day with their futtering forms
and deafened his ears with their shrill
harsh cries, as they do now-for music is
denied to the birds of the sea ; still, in
spite of the apparent confusion, hs must
have taken cognizance of the fact that
each species had its particular location,
and Kept to its boundaries with the pre-
cision of law hence without doubt came
the natural exclamation from which that
ancient proverb sprang, 80 wise in its
relation to birds, and SO happy in its
application to men.
How strange it is that these water
birds, which form the subject of this
sketch, as they flock together in gregari-
GUS millions, should lead, during the
greater portion of the year, the most
solitary and lonesome of isolated lives;
for after only six or eight weeks of
swarming congregation, they scatter out
from their rookeries to the south, to the
east, to the west, out in search of food
over the broad expanse of
Nothing, nothing but the Sea,
Vast In its immenslty."
The speed and motion of the finest
ship ever made by man never yet over
came the utter loneliness which strikes
in on the voyager's heart when he is
days and weeks in crossing the briny
desert waste of a great ocean, and the
sense of gratitude and relief from the
dresr monotony of water and sky which
he feels as he turns to the GRACEFUL evo.
lutions of the waterfowl that now fit,
now float, to and fro i'm the wake, or soar
in endless circles around and over the
spars of the vessel that bear him to
strange Landslide relief and companion.
able satisfaction offered by these feath~
cred wanderers is not easy to define in
adequate terms. It does not matter to
these tireless sea waits whether the skies
are bright or stormy, for in sunshine and
in rain, in calm or in tempest, they never
forsake the vessel until the engines slow
down in the quiet waters of the desired
port.
The traveller, as he makes the acquain-
lance of his natatorial followers, little
thinks, as he comments on the smallness
of their number, and the apparent scar
city of bird life over the heaving bosom
of the ocean, that at regular periods of
the year they rally from a thousand
leagues around to a common resting
place, where they breed in swarming
regions, undisturbed and really unknown
to man.

Making Our Friends at Home.

Is it possible for our friend to "iust

we often invite and enjoin him to do ?
Something depends, no doubt, on the
friend, but more We think, on the home

haunts, or ii he (more frequently, per-
haps, this is she) only goes out among
friends to be "entertained," in such case
you can't well make them at home. nor
avoid wishing them there!
On the other hand, if you desert the
pleasant family quarters and plant your
friend amid the unused 6neries of the

their wonted good times; if you palpa-
