Deal Gently with the stomach,

If it proves refractory, mild discipline is the thing to set it right. Not all the nauseous draughts and boluses ever invented can do half us much to remedy its disorders as few wine- glassiuls-say, three day--of Hostetters Stomach Bitters, which win afford 1t speedy relief, and eventually banish every dyspeptic and bilious symptom. Sick headache, nervous ness, sallowness of the complexion, fur upon the tongue, vertigo and those many indescrib- able and disagreeable sensations cnused by indigestion, are too often perpetuatedby iniu- dicious dosing.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Timely Orchard and Garden Notes.

Timely Orchard and Garden Notes.
 BASKETS. the baskets and crates that may be needed, and let them be distinctly marked.
 CELERy.-Weed the seed-bed, and if the plants get large before the time for setting out, cut off their tops; this will make them stocky.
 CoRN.-Plant at intervals ot a week all through the month. Hoe often, and, if need be, givea top-dressing of guano or other quick-acting fertilizer.
 THINNING.-The sooner this is done after the fruit is set, the better Two thirds or one-half of the quantity set may often be removed with advantage.
 lMULcHING. Apply around young trees almost any substance that will cover the soil and shield it from the drying rays of the sun, and from the evaporation of moisture.
 Peas rarely do we'll after hot weather may be used to fill vacant places, to take their chances 8A# A
 Crafts should be looked after. It may be that the shoots from the stock are growing too vigorously at the expense of the graft; remove such twigs. See that the gratis have plenty of room and are not interfered with by surrounding branches.
 PRUNING. cessation of the press ] ing work of carrier weeks allows the Eorchardist to give his trees the needed pruning. All dead and useless branches should of course be cut away, and those which crowd one another. Cover all large wounds with shellac varnish, or l with paint. ag @ sree eeg a | CURCULIo.-As soon as the fruit begins to set, the trees should be visited early in the morning, when the curculo is slug gish. .Alarge cloth shouldsbe so arranged that it can be spread, or better, held by four persons, while another gives the tree two or three sharp jars. The insects which fall upon the sheet should be swept into the fire.
 ! The borers of the peach and apple tree should be looked to. No surface remedy is of use with these destructive fellows, after they are once in the tree. The use l ofsthe knife and probe is the effeetual means ofreaching and destroying them. They can be detected by their "ear marks '' of dust, and depression in the bark. It is not necessary to girdle the tree in the operation, in many cases very little use of the knife is required A few hours spent in this manner will often save many valuable trees.
 ?. The tent caterpillar taken at just the right time, and that time is in this month, can be destroyed with compara- tive ease. As soon as the nests are large enough to be seen, they should be "wipe6 out of existence" On cool morning before the greedy worms :" are out fol their breakfast. and while the dew is glistening on the nests, is the most favor able time to take them. The lowernests may be reached By the hands, and tht upper ones by 9 pole with swab O cloth or brush. A wash of strong ly, is an effectual bath for them, but it i. best to see that they are burned ol crushed

while at another time they viii be lifted by
the frost We hope. however, that this idea
Is exploded, and that true carlses be assigned
such effects. Set two posts side by side the
same day, to al equal depth, and they will.
if the same shape, stay alike; but If they are
taperinc, auj one be set with the thlc&est
end down, the other with the thin end down,
1t will in few years be found that the latter
will be lifted by every severe frost, while
the former will remain as when set. This

spring. many of them viii be laying cut,
while, if one has thick end In the ground 1t
will remain. The frost pinching the stake

In rrEoyin. fence posts, when nearly all

be one found intact, which invariably was
thicker at the butt than at the surface OF the
ground, or had knot on it under ground.
This VIII be well to consider when putting

IL less than week after he was nominated,

poisoned corn.
