A NewIdea in Umbrella Handles.

A Detroit belle, sometime since, re-
ceived by express from an eastern
city a very handsome looking umbrella.
and she had it out the other day for
the first time. Taking a Woodward
avenue car for a short ride, she reached
the handle Of the umbrella up to pull
the bell.strap when she desired to get
off. As she pulled down the umbrella
began to lengthen, and her feelings
may be imagined when she found the
umbrella in her hand and a sword
cane arrangement about two feet long
DANGLING to the strapabove her head.
This new idea in umbrella handles
didn't seem to strike her favorably.

her after: Can never depend upon

Transplanting Fruit Trees.

In transplanting young fruit trees
many people make Il great mistake IN
attempting to grow trees in what they
are pieased TO call q sheltered ioca-
ton" None but sound and thrifty
trees should be transplanted, and l
would much sooner locate an orchard
where it can he reached by the winds
from every quarter than locate it in
what might be called sheltered posi-
tlon. | have noticed that if trees are
set in warm location they are very
likely to be injured during the warm
days of the spring, or during the sap
season. The warm sun thaws the bark
on the south side of the tree so rapidly
that it is started from the wood, and,
being done for several days in success
sion, the bark is finally severed from
the tree. Many times have L seen trees
standing near the south side of build
ing with no bark on the south side of
them. and the owner calledit n summer
scald, when the injury was done during
the warm days of spring.
have heard farmers say that they
could not trim their trees in the spring
because they would bleed, which was
owing. undoubtedly, to the unthrifti-
ness of the trees. If, in saving off q
limb, when grating, it is found to be
DldCh-ucstrtco, tuc tIcc may stS Wei. Dc
cut down, for it is unthrifty, and will
be very likely to bleed. Trees should
be kept well trimmed in order that
the sunlight may have free access among
the branches to ripen and color the fruit.
Apple trees thrive the best upon a
deep and loamy soil which contains
just about humidity enough to grow the
poly-pod brake. L believe that the
farmer should realize the resources of
his farm to n much greater extent.
Why should the farmers of any agri-
cultural town in the State send OFT $500
or 800 every now and then to pay for
fruit trees? Within the limits of most
every moving field is some low place
or untillable corner where apple trees
seem to spring spontaneously, but more
likely from seeds dropped by the cat
tie. To these young trees the farmer
pays no attention, but mows them down
and buys of the nursery man. If they
could be left to grow and be transplant
ed when large enough, they would out
strip the nursery trees, because, being
raised on the farm, they are thoroughly
acclimated and indigenous to the soil.

Liquid Manure.

One of the most successful garden
ers we know of uses liquid manure
largely. He has large tub, discard
ed whale-Oil cask or sugar hogshcad
will do. holding several barrels, sunk
partly in the earth, near the middle OF
his vegetable garden. He has cheap
trough, made by mailing two four-i inch
strips together in the shape of V, to
conduct the water from his sink spout
into the tub, whenever it is needed. 1t
is not far from the well, and extra wa
ter is run from the pump into the tub,
whenever it is needed. Into this tub
all the Stops from the chambers are
cmptied during the summer. Another
line of cheap troughs conducts the liq-
uid manure from the tub to any desired
part of the garden. With long
handled dipper, he stands at the tub
and waters the growing vegetables and
fruit trees, as their wants demand. He
always has fine fruits and vegetables
When u house stands several feet higher
than the garden, the tub or vat for
holding the liquid manure can be kept
wholly above ground, and the water he
drawn off by II plug ut the bottom of
the vat. This will save the labor of
dipping. The results of using LIQUID
manure upon growing vegetables are
quite astonishing. III the garden is
large, and the wastes of the house are
not sufficient, it is easy To increase its
quantity by placing few pounds of
guano in the vat, and adding water
from the well or cistcrn. The water
should have the benefit of one DAYS
>rIn. and be applied Just ut evening, or
very early in the morning. -AgricUTt

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

| -Acorrespondent says he mixes hog s
lard in the dough he gives his hens. and
asserts that piece as large rs hickory
nut will, if divided up and mixed with
their soft feed, set hen to laying i'm
mediatcly after she is broken up
Damp Velvet.-When velvet has
been wet and becomes spotted, hold
| the wrong side over steam, and while
damp draw the wrong side quickly over
a warm iron. 1t takes two to do this
| one to hold the bottom of the iron up
ward, and the second to draw the velvet
| across.
Good Apple Butter.-Boil kettle
full of new cider until reduced two
thirds. Have a quantity of tart, juicy
| apples pared, cored and sliced, and put
in as many into the kettle as the cider
will cover. Cook slowly until tender,
skim out and put in Il second supply of
apples. When tender turn all out and
let stand over night. In the morning
return to the kettle and boil down until
quite thick. Add whatever spice you
please. 1t requires almost constant
stirring.
Treatment of Frozen Plants.-In
times of severe cold. the more tender
plants in the window will sometimes be
chilled and frozen. Such plants should
not be put near the stove, to be thawed
out; but kept where the temperature is
a trifle above the freezing point that
the thawing may be gradual, and in the
dark, that deleterious chemical changes
may not take place. If severely touched
with the frost, it is best to remove the
frozen parts, that new stems may be
forced out from the buds below. Water
freely, and finally bring them to the
ordinary temperature for house plants
-siXty-five to seventy degrees.
Boston Baked Beans.-Pick over
the beans, rejecting all imperfect ones;
soak them over night; in the morning
parboil them till the skins crack open,
dip them from the kettle with a per-
forated skinner into glazed earthen
pot, salt to taste, put in the top of the
pot piece of fat salt pork with the
rind scored, cover with water, put on n
cover of dough or tin and bake in an
oven not very hot for six hours. If the
oven is of brick they may be put in at
night and remain Till morning. Butter
or suet may be used instead of pork.
Sometimes tablespoonful of molassss
is put in when the salt is added.
Treatment of Wounds.-A wound
produced by sharp cutting instrument
will heal without trouble when the
edges are nicely brought together, and
left SO without putting on any salve,
provided the access of air is shut off
and the person possesses good consti-
tuition. If the wound is produced by
rusty nail or Il similar cause, SO as to
be Jagged, it will soon become very in
famed, and in such q case it is recon-
mended to smoke such wound with
burning wool or wooden cloth. Twenty

Schooling ut Home.

The Dullwitt family are having good
deal of trouble just now. Benjamin
Franklin. the oldest boy, brings home
his slate every night, and the father
gets mad enough to break it over his
head because the poor little fellow cant
see that the quotient in long division
ought to be the exact multiple of the
divisor in order to produce the divi-
dend; and all the while the old man
can't prove it. and that's what makes
him huffy. At the same time Matilda
Geraldine, the cork-screw curled pride
of the family, is trying to get her moth
err to help her "bound Servia' as it is
since the establishments of Montenegro s
autonomy, and the poor woman forgets
to mix her bread, and goes to bed with
a string of geographical names in her
head long enough to "bound" the
world. And still the children stand at
the foot of the class.-NeU Hauen Reg

To produce healing of a wound il

To produce healing of wound in
n horse or II cow, some s5imulant is
nearly always required. This may be
common spirits of turpentine or the
compound tincturc of benzon or that of
myrrh and aloes. Either of these NAV
be applied with feather once dav.
or if the wound is deep. the stimuIant
should be injected to the bottom with II
common squirt can or 4 syringe.
Wounds should always heal from the
bottom, and to secure this the opening
should be kept free, by means of II plug
of lint dipped in the stimulant used.
Lint may be made by scraping Il piece
of linen cloth such us II towel, with Il
knife, and collecting the loose fibcrs.
Linen only should he used, and never
cotton or wool for this purpose. If pus
is inclosed in II wound and the opening
is permitted to close, IN absccss will be
formed, or the pus will be absorbed.
with some future i'll effect. In the case ot
deep. puncturel wounds careful search
should be made for the possible presence
of splintcrs or other foreign bodies,
and to enlarge the opening will often
facilitate the search or assist in the
ultimate healing. --Rurat Ne,o Yorker
