began the treatment at least year in
advance. A great many apple trees
that stand in grass are looking any
thing but Furnishing with their close
matted top ana dead or NOISY branch
es. If the land under such trees
could be ploughed and the tops judic
iously thinned out, and plenty of man
ure spread over the ground, the trees
would take new start, and possibly
bear fair crop next year. II all this
should be done, most persons would
give nearly all the credit the plough.
ing, because it is usually noticeable
that trees which are ploughed around
look much healthier and produce far
better crops of fruit than trees stand.
ing 10 grass. 1t must be remember.
ed, however, that ploughed ground
usually receives all the manure, while
the grass land gives up its annual crop
without the application Of any manure
whatever. Now if we would apply
manure as literally to the trees that
stand in grass as to those under which
we try to grow cultivated crops, we
should find that We could get equally
fine fruit and in great abundance. The
time to prepare for crop of apples
next year, that will be worth picking
and carrying to market, is now before
the ground freezes. Spread a heavy
dressing of good stable manure under
such trees as are worth saving, and dig
up the poor ones and cut them into
fire wood for burning these cold winter
evenings which are soon coming.
After spreading, draw a heavy bush Or
drag over the ground to crush the
Jumps and spread the manure more
over the entire area, and to press it
close down to the surface where the
rains and melting SHOWS will carry it
down into the soil where the roots will
find it. Apple roots in grass run quite
near the surface and will be reached
by manure quicker than if all the roots
are destroyed by ploughing to the
depth of six or eight inches. u
We are not at this time arguir g
against ploughing apple orchards, but
do ask those of our readers who are
not prepared to plough under their
trees, to give the top dressing a trial,
even il it be only upon a few trees.
In our own experience we have been
surprised to notice how quickly a
tree will respond to manure spread
upon the surface, even when that sur.
face is in grass. The trimming out OF
the over-dense tops is work that may
be commenced at any time, and con
tinue through the winter, as leisure is
found. In thinning out it will be bet
ter to take out many small limbs by
several cuts than to remove large ones
by cutting once only. Large wounds
do not heal as readily, and taking ou'
large limbs leaves the trees less vel
balanced. The aim should be to d.
minish the number of fruit buds b,
thinning the fruit after it is formed
Mr.. Hillman of Marlboro, whose sue
cess has already been alluded to il
these columns, cuts back quite freely
with light pruning shears, thus accom-
pllshing his object without making
any large wounds. 1t would hav'
been better to have begun this work ,
year earlier, but something can be don,
even now to ensure crop that will b.
Salable next year, whether the genera
crop is large or small.

Ring off when you are through talking
The one that calls (not the one that is
called should always ring off. Don't for
get it.
Alter giving your order to the Exchange,
which should as far as possible be by num-
Der, the next voice you hear will be from
the number you called, and it is not neces-
sary to stand and halo OF enquire who is
there. You could not possibly get re-
sponse except from the Exchange or the
number you called, and you will hear
nothing from the former after giving your
order, unless there is some failure to get a
connection, when you will be informed
When you get a response and do not
recognize the voice, better way than &c
ask who is there, is to say 'I want to speak
to Mr.. A or b. when if he is not already
there he will be called.
Take down your trumpet Immediately
after ringing your bell and place it firmly
over your ear Don't wait, supposing i
will take little time to get response
and so try to fill in the time by converse

ALTHOUGH c. w. Hemenway & Son have
been a long time in business here. look
though their mill suggests that probably
many of our readers. like ourselves, know
but little of the character and extent Of
their works The greater part of the bust
ness is the preparation of material foi
cheese boxes, but they also manufacture
large quantities OF hardwood lumber of all
varieties. They employ from ten to twelve
men. Their mill is filed up with various
labor saving devices, which add to their
convenience and the rapidity with which
they can turn out work. Their yard con-
tains several thousand dollars worth of
logs and we hear that the promptness and
fairness with which they deal with their
customers makes it possible for them to
buy all the timber they need. At least
three different gas wells have been found
in their vicinity, yielding abundantly, and
crude experiments with which show
that they can be used both for heating and
lighting purposes Who knows but there
is. q bonanza there for some enterprising
and ingenious capitalist, who can put in
the necessary apparatus for lighting and
heating some of the buildings in that part
of the village. It is possible that a vein
of coal oil might be had ifsuitsble ef
fort was made; and now that Wellington is
on boom, she might as well have an oil
well as any other town.

Testing Italy are the result Of CENTURIES Of
Ieultisetion. The pubic eransries of old
Roman time, Feeding "a arIny Of paupers,
lsoved idleness and hlesspess broadcast
over the land. The ancient raonasteries
throughout Europe, which fed the poor
sbundantly at their gates, are responsible
for the filthy beggars now besetting their
cathedral doors. Only think of fifteen
thousand paupers alone in the city of
Brugesl Trinity church, New York, is
ioing a mighty work for the poor of its
extensive parish, and has better opportu-
nifty than most organizations for trans
planting ,paupers to a soil where they will
be transformed into labor-producing citi-
zens. Ithas also the chance of cultivating
the evil Of pauperism, after the same fash
ion of the Church in medieval times. ~
We must remember the distinction be-
tween the unworthy and worthy recipient
of aims, the voluntary and involuntary pau
per. Here has been the unpardonable laxi-
ty and fault. Even the worthy beneficiary
is too often allowed to lose his selfrespect
by receiving aid after the need is past.
Any system lessening the self exertion and
self denial of the poor is mischief and
pregnant with disaster. The taint of un-
justifable beggary, once contracted, is al.
most incurable, and descends to children's
children more surely than the virtues of
landowners and the valor of princes.
To get living without work is not de-
sire monopolized by the poor; nor the wish
Tor comforts, even luxrries, without the
sweat of labor. Hatred of work, too often
accompanied by hereditary ignorance of in
dustry and economy, is at the bottom of
half this worlds misery. Pauperism is not
its only evil growth. Other dangerous
classes merit Legislative attention and our
compassion, although they may shower
gold upon the poor and wretched, and de-
spise the labor supporting their rank. The
host Of splendid idlers in community, liv-
ing on the drain injustice and fraud makes
upon honest, il-paid labor, is as deserving
of condemnation as the paupers who, in
allowing themselves to be supported by
Others, are thieves, and should be treated
as such.
Our charities, it seems, bid fair to under
go sort of civil service reform. Nobody
denies the need. This favorable symptom
of future requirement of forecasting dis
cretion in our almsgiving is an outreach
of the growing reformation, not so visiona-
ry as some may deem. It all suggests the
season anticipated by DR.. Holmes-the one
in which he says he shall order his much
delayed ascension robe.-Jenny Marsh
