Manuring Orchards.

Those who own orchards over
twelve years or more of age, will find
n great advantage in applying a
moderate top dressing of old or fresh
manure. 1t seems to have an almost
magical effect on the fruit The
trees will be more likely to bear
every year; they will give heavier
crops and the fruit will be finer II
there is no manure now to apply, it
will do nearly as well to draw out in
winter, and spread over the ground
such manure as accumulates from the
stabbed animals. On the first thaw
or rain the earth will absorb all the
soluble or washed portions. The
mistake should be evaded of placing
the manure in heaps at the foot Of
the trunks, or in small circles. Trees
only twelve years old, if they have
made a fair growth, have already
covered the whole ground with the
network of their roots beneath the
surface Wood ashes are always use.

Matters ofPrac,ice.

Some farmers spend more time in
the spring getting the stones from
their fields and placing them in small
heaps, than it would take to put
them into the cart and dump them
out of the reach of the scythe and
rake, and thereby get more grass on
the field by removing them.
In seeding land to grass in the
spring, some Of our best farmers rec.
ommend sowing the grass seed after
the grain is narrowed in, and put
neither roller nor bush on the ground,
but let it entirely alone, and the &C.
ton Of the rain will cover it deep
enough. have had some expert.

now dress my land in September,
and seed it down TO grass, and then

this: few of our farmers in this vi.

How 10 Make a Barn Yard.

The best way in my opinion, to
form barn yard for the preserva.
ton Of manure, without its becom-
ing muddy, where the ground is high,
er than some of its surrounding parts,
is to plough and scrape from the cen.
ire to the outside, making gradual
descent from the outside to the cen.
ter. Let the fall be one.half foot in
ten, and falling little more as you
near the centre. Dig q drain from
the centre to some suitable place
without the yard, where you can
construct vat to put in leaves, sods,
muck, ETC., that will absorb and re.
tain the liquid from the yard. The
bottom and sides may be formed OF
plank, or may be substantially built
of stone and mortar. The top of the
vat should be made so as to guard
against rains and surface water as
much as possible. The drain should
fall considerably, and should be made
OF plank, eight inches high and one
foot wide inside. The head of the
drain should be covered over with a
strong iron CRATE. The yard ought
tobe well paved, and with q little
pains you can always have dry
yard. The water from the barns and
sheds should never be allowed to run
into the yard, but should be carried
by good eave-troughs toa large els
tern for the purpose of watering
stock.

FOR THE FARMER.

The cultivation Of the bean should
he extended. The crop has this
great adyantage-if the price is low
the beansmay be mixed with corn
and other grain, ground and fed to
cows and sheep. They are one Of the
best kinds Of food for mich COWS.
The crop does not impoyerish the
land, and when fed to domestic ami
mails the manure is rich and yalua-
BILE.
Many suppose that poor land is
necessary to raise white beans only
because they will grow better on poor
land than other crops. Manuring
the land for them has doubled the
crop. Nothing is better for them
than goodrich corn land. If the soil
is rather heavy an excellent way is
TO turn over clover sod late in the
spring, roll and harrow it and plant
the beans. There will be less hoeing
needed, as fresh inverted sod is usu.
ally clean soil. When the soil isfree
from weeds the best way is TO drill
in the beansso that the drills may
be about two and a half or three feet
apart, and the seed about tBo.inches
apart in the drills. The beans will
be yellow in three months and ready
for harvesting, which is done by pull.
ing them. If the weather continues
dry fora few days they will soon be
,sdry 'enoughaif placed In small heaps.
If.wet weather is feared take the
punches and place them in small
stacks made around pole driven
a into the ground radiating from the
centre or pole, and with either roots
or tops out-these stacks may be as
high as a man can easily reach, and
should be built on four small sticks
at the bottom, the size Of stove wood,
laid across to keep the beans off the
wet ground, and to allow the drying
wind to blow under. When quite
dry draw out the pole and draw them
to the barn and thresh in winter.

Again. milk is food which should
not be taken in copious draughts like
beer or other fluids which differ from
it chemically. If we consider the use
of milk in infancy, the physiological
ingestion, that is, of It, we find that the
sucking babe imbibes little the natural
food provided for it. Each small
mouthful is secured by effort, and
slowly presented to the gastric mucous
surface for the primal digestive stages.
1t is thus regularly and gradually re-
duced to curd, and the stomach is not
oppressed with lump OF half-coagu-
lated milk. The same principle should
be regarded in the case of the adult
Milk should be slowly taken in mouth
fuls, at short intervals. and thus it is
rightly dealt with by the gastric juice.
If milk be taken after other food it is
almost sure to burden the stomach and
to cause discomfort and prolonged in-
digestion, and this for the obvious rea-
son that there is insufficient digestive
agency to dispose of it. And the better
the quality of milk the more severe the
dscomforts will be under these condi-
tions. Milk is insufficiently used in
making simple puddings of such fari-
naceous food as rice, tapioca and sago.
Distaste for these is engendered very
often, believe, because the milk is
stinted in making them, or poor, skim
med milk is used. Abundance of new
milk should be employed, and more
milk or cream should be added when
they are taken. In Scottish households
this matter is well understood, and u
distinct pudding-plate, like small
soup-plate is used for this course. The
dry masses commonly served as milky
puddings in England are exactly fitted
to create disgust for what should be
most excellent and delicious part of
wholesome dinner for both children
and adults. Popular Science Monthly.

An eccentric old gentleman in Lin
colnshire, England, age 83, is, it is
stated, so firmly convinced of the ap-
preaching end of the world that he has
ordered an immense balloon to be
made for his own convenience, by
means of which he hopes to witness
the destruction of the planet without
sharing the fate of its inhabitants. He
will take with him in his ascent timed
provisions, brandy, soda-water, claret
and other creature comforts in sufficient
quantities to meet his requirements for
three years. by which time he calcu-
lates his life will have como to q natur-
al close. He is of opinion that among
the debris of the world will be several
large fragments, on one of which he
will be able to effect descent at an
OppOrtune moment and find II refuge
for his few remaining years. He pro-
poses to take with him no companion
but gamr-keeper, who has been long
in his service, and for whom he has
great regard. He has, however,
warned his faithful retainer, who is on
ly so years old. that when the provis-
ions in the balloon are exhausted he
will have to shift for himself, and may
therefore in three years. time be with
out means of subsistence. Having
made these arrangements, the old gem
tleman is perfectly calm, and indeed
cheerful. He expects, he declares, to
get on better without the world than
with it.

to the hotel and gravely shake their

which, in varnish and audacity, had set
itself up against the fiddle, and whose
hoarse chorus could drown the banjo's
twang.
Several days ago, while party of

singing and playing, the door opened
and ten men, ,unsuspendered and tanned,
filed into the room and ranged along
the wall. A young lady, whose fingers
fell i'll graceful showers on the keys,
was rafting Off the Carnival of Ven
ice." The sun-browned stalwarts were
deeply impressed, and for a time moth
ing was said. But it is not natural for
human beings to view a wonder with
out some attempt at expression.

Here the manager of the hotel en-

evidently did not have on wedding gar

went with whiz-z, while the old lady

house.
