AS is we'll known to most Of the people
in Austin, Mrs. COL Yerger is fearful
scold and scandal monger. She jaws
her husband until she nearly drives him
crazy.
A few days ago, on his coming home
from dinner, he perceived that his wife
had her jaw tied up.
"What's the matter with your Jaw,
Mrs. Yerger; is it tired ?'*
ooh, have been to the dentists and
had two teeth pulled, you unfeeling
brute!"
"Happy, happy teeth! l only wish l
was one Of them"
"What do you mea 4, Col Yerger?"
"Nothing, except tlat those teeth are
at last beyond the reach of your tongue.
They ought to be happy. would be
happy if I were beyond the reach of your
tongue. How happy those molars must
be :"
She made him think 30 more than ever

Mr.. 5. ID. Pratt writes to the american
Institute Farmers Club about the care
of fruit trees as follows Remembering
Prof Leibig's theory that when a vegeta
BILE is burned the part which came from
the air in the process OF Its growth re-
turns to the atmosphere, and the part
which came from the ground is reduced
to ashes, came to the conclusion that
ashes would be beneficial when applied to
the roots of The trees. They were stand
ing in the soil strongly inclined to clay,
with a turf around them that had not
been removed for several years. After
pruning them properly, removing every
indication of worms, &c, and washing
the body and branches with soansnds, !
began operations below first removing
the turf two feet around the tree, then
with a garden pick the ground was loos-
ened from six to twelve inches in depth,
taking care not to injure the larger roots.
Twenty or thirty quarts of loose dirt
were removed, leaving large cavity,
shaped like saucer, with the tree stand
ing in the centre About one pint of un
lesched ashes was sprnklcl about the
tree. and upon this chip manure was
placed, nearly filling the cavity. Another
pint of ashes was sprinkled upon the fer
tilizer, which was gently pressed down,
and the whole covered with the loose dirt
taken from the cavity, leaving the surface
nearly as it was excepting the turf. A
Young orchard was treated in similar
way. The effect was wonderful. Plum
trees that were going to the bad revived.
Peach trees that had presented small and
shriveled leaves threw out luXuriant
foliage, and cherry trees gave fruit larger
and fairer than ever before"
