DWARF PEARS.--Dwarf pears have
many friends AMI many enemies. IT, Is
not surprising ut all. The dwarf pear
requires peculiar treatmoDt to bl ing

such treatment can never become It's
enemies, If they never become its
friends. We know of one person who,
ten years ago, or,crcda goodly number
without knowing either what pears
would thrive in his section, or what
pears would thrive upon ounce stock.
Thry were planted SO That the junrturc
between the pear and quincc was above
ground and In small holes dug out IN
sod ground. Even the circles about
the stems were not kept free Of weeds
or grass. Several died years ago, and
those that remain were better dead.
The owner Is MI enemy of dwarf pears :
we know OF another place where
dwarts have been growing for fifteen
years. They were set in cultivated
soil and tho ground Is cultivated every
year. They wero set 30 that the
Junction OF tho stock and scion was

THE HOUSEHOLD,

THE RIGHT WAY TO BRUSH VELVET.
The art of removing lint, dust and

sists In tho proper mode OF managing

soft, but having the Dristes elastic,
and returning at once to their original
state after being passed asldc-hold
flrmly under tho palm of tho hand In
tho direction of the arm, and with the
bristles downward, and pressing them
first Into the substance OF the velvet,
then twist round tho arm, hand and
brush all together, as on an axis, with
out moving them forward or backward.
The foreign matters will thus be drawn
up and llirted out Of the flock without
injury to the substance of tho velvet;
and the brush must be lifted up ana
placed In similar manner over every
part required to be brushed. BY this
means velvet will be improved instead
OF dctcrioratcd, and will last for years.

ADVANTAGES or AMERICAN FARMERS.
Important us is the great American
staple, Indian corn, our farmers have
mover made as much from IL rs we
should had 1t boon properly appreciated
In the old countries. IJ has given tho
United States the advantage In pro-
ducing meats Of all kinds; but it Is
only within few years that this grain
has itself largely figured in our exports.
For the nutrilnent 1t contains corn meal
Is more nutritious and futtcning than
any other grain. English farmers feed
0il-oake and turnips because thoy can
not grow corn; but at the low rates that
corn has )atoly sold for, corn meal Is
Increasingly popular among Englis
cattle and sheep feeders. 1t has long
seemed to me that English farmers
were at \ disadvantage in relying 50
exclusively on turnips, with their large
percentage OF water, for fattcning stock.
Now that American farmers are COM
pcting and undcrsclling them In tho
pork, beef and mutton markets, this
inforiOrlty of the English staple feed
is made manifest. Engtish pastures
arc no doubt superior to our own In
productivcncss and richness OF feed,
but In all else American farmers have
The advantage. Our cheaper lands,
however offset the superior pastures Of
English fields that havo never been
touched with the plOw. Besides | am
not sure that tho blue grass region Of
Kentucky and some of tho annually
ovrrtlowcd Hats on the Gcncssc have
not pastures that In excellence will
compare favorably with those of
England.
