AND FIRESIDE.
A TREES IN PASTURES.

Whatever difference of opinion
there may be among farmers as 10
the propriety Of having shade trees
in pasture fields as a resort for cat
tie in very warm weather, ten to
one deny that the advantage they
are to animals in the midst of the
heated term, beyond the damage
the tree may do the land, is very
considerable. But it mustbe under
stood that some trees do more dam
age to the ground than others, and
these are well known to most farm
ers, who will exercise their own
Judgment when selecting them.
The cherry is conf ssedly not one O.
these, which, while it hurts the llnd
scarcely any, is as fine a tree for
shade as any in the catalogue, and
besides affords a profit in fruit.
Then again there is the yellow
locust, which is one OF our beautiful
trees, though not generally so dense
in its foliage as. the cherry, which
does no perceptiable injury to the
lsnd, and the wood Of which il
valuable like the cherry, when there
may be occasion to remove them.
These facts show that there is nc
good reason Why the cattle should
be deprived of this great protection
against summer heat on the ground
of 4 mage to the land, which is SC
seriousely done by the oak, the
walnut the beech, and some others

FEEDING PEAR TREEs.-In an
address at a genealogical meeting
at Rochester, NJ. Barry said that
he bad in tue corner of his grounds
a little group of half a dozen pear
trees standing in the grass /; they
had been neglected until they were
nearly starved to death. The an
nual growth was nothing, the leaves
small and no fruit. II this condi-
ton they were treated with a top
dressing of barn-yard manure, aud
the following season they made
stout shoots twelve to eighteen in
ches long, with large, dark green
foliage, and some fine fruit. He
added that trees standing in grass
would not pay. They must be kept
vigorous and healthy by tillage,
fertilizers and judicious pruning.
These involve labor and expense,
but he remarked we cannot grow
fruit without them. In his pear
garden he slackened both cultiv-
alton and manure to lessen the
chances of blight, but the result
was that in two years and a half
his crop was culls.

INSECTS AND BIRDS.

The birds are the best friends the
farmers have, and why the gun is
ever kept ready, loaded and handy
to shoot down every bird tnat
appears is a mystery. We have laws
Tor the preservation Of "game"
lolrds), the object being to protect
the birds as much as possible during
the breeding season, in order that
we may shoot them afterward.
Hawks and Owls, not being game
birds, do not come in for their
share ofprotection and consequent
ly in winter the birds that escape
the marksmen are destroyed by
them.
But the principal warfare is car
ried on against the quail, the bird
that above all others IS the most
useful to the farmer, if he will only
allow them to be Of service to him /;
but he keeps them thinned out to
such insignificant numbers that in
the spring time they are not suffi-
GENTLY numerous to be Ct service.
A pair of quails will sometimes
hatch as many as twenty young
ones at a brood. As they are not
flyers they seek their living on the
ground. 1t is hardly cred.b Bile to
know the great amount of food that
is required for a brood of young
growing quai!s. They are hungry
all the time, as young birds general
ly are, and the most indus.ri us
work is required 70 sustain them.
They feed on insects Of all kinds,
rejecting none, and no doubt il
tanned and treated kindly, SO tina,
they might be tempted into the
potato field, would eat the beetles,
for they have no time to lcse in
seeking food for their large broods,
But as we prefer to shoot them we
must pay the penalty for oul
extravagant sport.
The seeds of weeds of all kind.
are relished by quails, the wild pea
being their favorite luxury, ano
when in the fields Of gr1wipg grain
they rarely disturbed it, IS they
seeE their food downward, prefer
ring the grubs and worms. The
cut worm, that has already been az
expense of millions to the farmer.
of this country, would stand but
little chance if the quails were al
lowed to hunt for him. And the
common beetles Of all kinds, bore
moths and moths that deposit theil
eggs in the ground, would be KEEP
within circumscribed bounds, fol
they could not exist near the limi
or territory allowed to the qu4ils
The protection to hawks anc
owls, they not being game birds, j.
so com. lete that the wren is almos
extermiI ated bythem in New Jersey
and Pennsylvania, and ii was once
very common. The wren is purely
an ins%ectivorous bird, and so is the
wood-ptc ker, whose notes on the
trunks Of the trees We used to heal
so often, but which has been s.
completely "protected" that the
spo tmen have made them almost
| extinct. Nearly all the game b I'd,
are insectivorous.
II we wish to be rid of insects We
must MT keep up this ince.sant and
warfare on their natural enemies

lthe birds in spring andshoot them ii

men have is that the birds woult
become So numerous. We viii,

insects to feed them ; but as lnne
as We annually witness the inmenst
destruction of crops by insects VT
will insist on more birds, les

The PARASITE OF MALARIA.-T]

RECUPERATING OLD ORCHARDS
Several moCes are recommended
how this can be successfully done
but we do not see how it can be
more efectually done than by the
one we have frequently recommend
ed. This is to cut out all the dy-
ing wood, a three-fourths Of the
suckers, scrape the trunks Of the
trees completely, removing all the
old hard, broken bark /; wash with
a preparation of whale oil soap and
water, a pound Of the soap to a
bucket of water ~and give the
orchard not merely under the trees,
but every part of it, a heavy top
dressing of good barn-yard or com
post manure. II there is any life or
pIoductiveness in the tress this will
bring it out.
