RE-GRAFTING WORTHLESS PEAR TREES
The old butter pear often cracks its
fruit so badly, and other kinds are
found desirable, that it is worth re-
membering that they may all be re-
grated with other kinds in the spring.
Some fancy that budding in summer is
preferable TO spring grating. 1t might
be of interest SAYS correspondent in
the Gardeners Monthly, to some of your
readers for me TO describe a method of
over-working some Flemish Beauty
pear trees, upon which the fruit cracked
so badly as TO render them worthless.
Last summer in the budding season, i
budded all over the trees into all the
limbs which l thought would form a
perfect head. The buds all "took, +" and
the present season have grown remark
ably. To be sure this is no new dis
covery, but very many fruit growers
think that there Is no way to work
over large tree except the old FASH
ioned mode OF cleft grating, and which
often produces unseemly gashes upon
the tree, and which it often takes q
number OF years for the tree to over
come. Hence | speak of this method
of budding into the limb, and think it
may be of service to some, who like me
are troubled with several worthless
varieties of the pear that are rendered
SO by cracking.

". CorHu. one of the highest living
authorities on the subject of light, has
been studying the spectrum of the new
star which has made its appearance in
the constellation of the Swan. He re-
ports TO the Paris Academy of Sciences
that the light of the star appears to
possess exactly the same composition
as that of the solar envelope known as
the chromosphere. The chromosphere
Is border of red light surrounding the
disk of the sun; it was first distinctly
recognized in total eclipses.

GRAIN IN ORCHARDs.-My long expe-
rience is that an orchard should never
be sown in small grain or let run in
grass or clover if thrifty trees and good
crops of fruit are..desi.ed. No crop can
be grown in an orchard without de-
tracing something from the demands
of the trees. If any crop is put in an
orchard, the pea crop is tine least inju-
rious-some variety like the East In
dia, which will not draw on the trees.
And then it is best to have the crop
gathered by the hogs on the ground.
Where cotton is grown, i have found
that this crop does not injure the trees
much for the first year or two-in fact,
the thorough culture of the cotton crop
helped the trees to some extent. But,
after this, it is better to cultivate the
trees alone

To MAKE BOYS COOP FARMERS.
parents who have boys growing up on
the farm, nothing should be neglected
pertaining to farm life, TO make them
good farmers. A halfway farmer,
like an i'll instructed mechanic. or in
dolent shopkeeper. never does much
good. From the first, boys on the farm
should be induced to take an interest
in the farm, in the stock, in the imple-
ments, and in all that pertains to the
business. Tell them all your plans,
your successes and failures; give them
a history of your life and what you did,
and how you lived when boy; but do
not harp too much on the degenerate
character of young men of the present
age.-Praise them when you can, and
encourage them TO do better. Let them
dress up in the evening instead of sit
ting down in their dirty clothes as is
too often the case. Provide warm and
nicely furnished sitting rooms, and
brilliant lights. Thanks to kerosene,
our country homes can be as brilliant
" lighted as the gas lit residences in
the city. Encourage the neighbors to
drop in frequently of evenings for a
social chat. Talk agriculture rather
than politics; speak of the importance
of large crops, of good stock, of liberal
feeding, and of the advantage of max
ing animals comfortable, rather than
of the hard times, low prices and high
wages. Above all encourage the boys
to read good agricultural papers and
books. Provide these without stint:
read with them. and give them the BEN
eft of your experience and criticism.
Finally, cause them by pleasant sur
roundings to grow day by day more in
love with home and duties belonging
TO their glorious occupation, and there
is no doubt but that they will stick to
the farm and make farming great sue
cess.

AGRICULTURE.

SOWING OATS EARLx.-In few things
have the advantages of an underdrain
soil shown to better effect than in oat-
growing. Light soils are not favorable
to the oat, and yet it Is the light soils
which are the early ones. On the other
hand the oat requires moderately low
temperature OF least two months 10
perfect its root at organization. 1t
ought 10 be one of the earliest crops
sown in the spring, but our strong
soils on which the oat does best are Of
ten wet soils, and very unfavorable to
early sowing. Those who have strong
soils, and yet tolerably dry, have the
very best of oat-land, and those who
have not must watch every chance TO
get in the seed early if they would have
the best results. Those who know
this and yet have land for oats which
they feel they will hardly be able TO
seed before the end of April, sometimes
prepare the land i'm the fall, and then
sow the seed ON the snow in February.
Snow in our region is too precarious
TO found any system thereon. We may
have snow and We may pot. But in
the Western States, where snow is a
regular thing at that time of the year,
we notice that The practice is growing
into favor. Those who have tried il
say the seed sprouts as soon as the first
warm days of spring come, some two
weeks at least ahead of the regular
April sowings, and the crop is proper
tionately increased. We may not find
this plan everywhere feasible, but we
may be encouraged always to SOW at
the earliest time practicable.

Hygienio Effects Of Sea and Mountain Air.

This is the time Of year when many
families leave their homes in the city, for
the more inyigorating mountain or seashOre
air, anxious to go where they may derive
the most health giving benefit, and still
arc undecided which way they will 60, to
the mountains or seaside. To such persons
tho following extract from recent work
by DIR. G. Alberto, a celebrated Italian
physician, may be an aid in helping them
to decide
"The marine air, says the learned doc
tor, produces the same benefit as that Of
the mountain, but each has a different
modus cfipieBdij the former acts more for
chilly and energetically on tho constitution
which retains some robustness aud inter-
nal resources to profit by il, while the
second acts more gently, with slower eff.
cacy, being thereby more suitable to the
weaker aud less exeitable organizations.
From this important distinction, the con-
scientious physician, who takes the safety
Of his patient much to heart, ought to be
able to discriminate whether the alpine or
the marine atmosphere is the better suited
10 the case he has before him.

The Southern man or woman, not being
given over to newspapers, magazines and
books, has retained what is, in many Of
our communities, lost art-that Of con
yersation. One ofthc marks Of good breed
ing iu the South Is the ability to converse
well. Conversation is cultivated as iinc
art Almost everybody talks, and talks
well. The conversational vocabulary Of
Southcrners Is well stored with good En.
glish words. There is certain old.fash-
ioned way OF pronouncing many words,
due to the fact that conversation, aud not
books, gives the law of pronunciation.
