When should n Cow 20 Dry.

There is such a thing as burning
candle at both ends. One NAV
easily do this in the dairy, and while
the good, easy man thinks he is
making a good deal of light at the
same cost, suddenly his candle NAV
go out This kind of thing NAV go
on when one milks the COW up to
the time of calving or near it, and
even encourages it by feeding for that
end. But then it may not.
But as a rule, TO be contracted and
expanded judiciously and safely. it
may be said that a COW should be
dried six weeks before she is due
TO calve; that up to that time
she should be literally fed in the
usual manner that thenceforth her
her food should be curtailed or even
changed TO dry hav: and if her con-
dltion is reduced somewhat, so much
the better. 1t will make it safer for
her and the calf. The milking NAV
be done once day, or not wholly
completed, leaving a little in the
udder. We have taken a little milk
several times day from a COW in
this condition. with the effect of rap
idly drying the udder. But it is a
dangerous thing, and one to be
avoided. to leave any considerable
quantity of milk in cew's udder at
this time.

Shade Trees.

All will admit that shade trees
lining both sides of the street afford
the most inviting attractions to a
town. The bare, black sides of
houses and the burning sidewalks of
a shadelesS street have few charms
on hot summer day. Our town
is not overcrowdcd with these beau
tltul natural ornaments, vet it has Il
geodly number Of them lending at
traction and pleasure to the pedes-
trim and sight seer.
The popular opinion seems to pre-
vail that every year or so these
handsome ornaments must suffer a
mutilation by the saw and pruning
knife with the belief that nature has
false notions Of beauty and symme-
try. A more false and erroneous
notion could hardly gain currency
Every time that art attempts TO
improve on nature it makes a sorry
failure of it. To illustrate, let the
observer now take look over our
town and compare the short, ungain-
ly stubs sticking out from the bod
les of mutilated or trimmed trees
with the nicely rounded forms and
symmetrical branches of those per-
mitted TO intertwine their tendrils
according to natures method.
Tree culture is much more a sci
ence than people ordinarily imagine,
requiring the most exact observance
of conditions and properties as SEN
sitive and delicate as the human
anatomy.
The junction of a tree as de-
pendent upon uniform, definite prin-
ciples of beidg as those of an animal
body, and may be as easily inter
rupted or destroyed. To hack off a
lsplendidly curved and richly embel-
lIshed limb because 1t does not seem
to conform to the rule of a well-reg-
ulated tree, or because it is thought
to obstruct some miserably prosaic
view is thought no more of by MANY
OF the loppers-off than the uprootine
OF weeds from flower garden.
Trees suffer in having their limbs
hewn off, for with every dismem5er-
ment an element of strength and
longevity is destroyed. When limbs
become supert1uous in the tree life
they are deprived of nourishment,
the sap ducts are closed and the
branches die. Only those dead or
clearly dying by membranes
should be cut away. ANY other
sort OF pruning is a hurt to the tree.
and should be prohibited. For such
attention as trees really need there
should be thorough competent ser
vice, that the pruning and trimming
be judiciously done. 1t is not ex-
pected that the majority of readers
will agree with the sentiments set
forth in this plea for the shade tree.
but 1t is subject worthy of consid-
Grafton and the above ideas are
given as pertinent to one side of the
question.

Who had never falte7ed beneath her cross,

Measuring the Age of Trees.

The counting of the rings added by
exogenous trees every year to their
circumference can only, without
risk of great error, be applied to tree S
which are hollow and decayed.
Trees, moreover, often develop them
selves 80 uneqnally from their centre
that, as in the case of 4 specimen in
the museum at Kew, there may be
about two hundred and fifty rings
on one side to fifty rings on one side
to fifty on the other. Perhaps the
largest number of rings that has
ever been counted was la the case of
an oak felled in 1912, where they
amounted to seven hundred and
ten; but De Candolle, who mentions
this, adds that three hundred years
were added to this number as prob
ably covering the remaining rings
which II WIS no longer possible to
count This instance may be taken
to illustrate how unsatisfactory this
mode of reckoning really is for all
but trees of comparatively youthful
aye.
The external girth measurment is
for these reasons the best we can
have, being especially applicable
where the daie OF trees introduc-
tion into "a country or of its planting
is detiaitely fixed. since it enables US
To argue from the individual specl
men or from number of specimens,
not with certainty, but the rate of
growth OF that tree as a species. In
these measurements oftrees of a CEN
tury or mere in age, such as are
given abundantly in London's Ar
horetum," lies our bsstguide, though
even then the growth as in subse-
quent ages must remain matter OF
conjecture. The difficulty is to re-
duce this conjectural quality to the
limits of probability; for, given the
ascertaned growth of the first centu-
/ ry, how shall we estimate the dimin
ished growth of later centuries The
best way would seem to be to take
the ascertainec growth of the first
century, and then to make, say, the
third of it the average growth Of
every century. Thus, if We were to
take twelve feet as the ascortained
growth of an oak in its first century
four feet would be its constant aver
age rate, and we might conjecture
that an oak of forty feet was about j
thousand years old. But clearly it
might be much less; for the reason
for taking the third is not so much
that it is a more probable average
than the half, as that is obviously
less likely to err on the side 10 excess
of rapidity.

Messrs. Hiscox e Co call c

Messrs. Hiscox & Co. call special
attention to the fact that after April
10, 1888, the name and style of this
preparation will hereafter be simply
Pdrker's Tonic. The word Ginger
is dropped, for the reason that un-
principled dealers are constantly de-
celving their patrons by substituting
inferior preparations under the name
of Ginger; and as ginger is an un-
important fiavoring Ingredient in
our Tonic, We are sure that our
friends will agree with us as to the
Lropriety Of the change. There will
be no change, however, in the prep
aration itself and all bottles re-
naming in the hands of dealers,
wrapped under the name of PARK
ER's GINGER ToNIc," contain the gen
uine medicine if the signature OF
HIscox d Co. IS at the bottom of the
outside wrapper
