Ventilation Of Orchards.

There is one requirement. with fruit
trees that we do not sufficiently con-
slider. The benefit of sun and air in
securing good fruit is we'll understood.
What we want is sun and air to pro-
duce wood as well, not only in connec-
tion with the fruit, but in the early
years of growth, indec.l throughout
its entire life, i'll order to secure a
healthy growth, which cannot be
done ii the branches are left close so
as to harbor humidity. Besides. by
giving distinctness and form to each
branch, the beauty of the tree is en-
hanced. A young tree while i'll its
nol- bearing stage may thus be made
an ornament, and this can be main-
tanned as the growth advances, while
now beauty is added III blossom and
fruit. 'fhus we get the aesthetic uni
ted with the Dest condition for fruit.
This is aided by thumb and finger
work, begun with the birth Of the
tree, arresting too ambitious shoots
by pinchins and rubbing out all su-
pcrlluous growth, leaving little use
for the knife, and SO preventing waste
and shock to the tree, maintaining its
beauty and usefulness unilnpaired

Kill Your Sheep Young.

There are few animals kept on the
farm which, when they are in their
prime, pay as well as sheep, and there
arc very few if any Others, upon whom
old age has such q damaging effect. As
the sheep is much shorter lived than
any other Of our d9pestic animals, is
is not strange that many farmers at
tempt to keep them too long! At ten
years Of age the horse Is just in his
prime, and tine cow is as good as ever,
with the prospect of remaining SO sew
eral years longer.
But the sheep is very old when it
reaches the age Of ten, the natural limit
III the term ofits life. After reaching
this age sheep are very likely to be in

ara more liable to be attacked by dis
ease, and, il they live, they will be
likely to produce less wool and SMALL

cspt perhaps in special instances, TO
keep sheep after they are six years

HOmos Of the Poor.

Passing into First avenue, New
Nork, we find that nearly every build
ing is a tenement house, and large
majority of them arc six stories high.
Every building has its row of stores
facing on the street, and then its three
four, five layers of families-famillcs
because they consist of parents and
children, but not families in the sense
that we are used to, where both par
ents and all the children strive to
make home happy. Each floor is di-
vided into many suites of rooms, each
suite occupied by from two to SIX or
more persons. The door of one of
these tenement houses stands lnvlt-
ingly open-if anything in this cheer
less neighborhood can be said to be
inviting. No. one will have any OBJ
jections to our going up, for nothing
is very private hereabout. The peo-
pie we are going to see are as likely to
lie honest as we arc, and they work
and earn their own living. They are
independent and beg Of no man. AS
for vice, they have little chance for it !;
they are too busy struggling for life.
TIE bead of nearly every one OF these
families i'm this great building is Ia
boring man. They have broad shoui-
dcrs, and brawny arms, and strong
muscles, and they work all day, ex-
cept in few cases where gin and the
head of the house go off on picnic
together. by their hard labor, taking
a few holidays, they can barely scrape
enough together to keep themselves
and their families alive. The city's
price for these men is SLIGO per day,
and this may be taken as an average.
This gives them $500 a week, out OF
which they have to pay sixty cents
car fare. The family then have SO
week to pay their rent, keep their ta-
bic, and buy their clothes. These
people cannot afford the three things
we are foolish enough to believe heav-
on has furnished alike to the rich and
the poor-air, light, and water. Even
water is costly in New York, but air
and light must be reckoncd among
the expensive luxuries.-T tnaes.

The Celesia, or Cocks Comb, is an
old and well i-known plant which from
it's singular form must prove interest
ing TO all cultivatOrs. The old forms
have been greatly improved of late,
and some very peculiar varieties are
now oferetl. The seeds should be
sown,in the open ground where they
are to remain, after the soil has be-
come thoroughly warm- Although
they start late, they grow rapidly in
any soil having sufficient amount of
heat.
