Fruit trees that were planted last
spring should be attended to. A few
minutes will only be required to see if
they are loose in the ground and need
the dirt trod hard around them again.
If they look as though they would die,
pinch off all the leaves from the tree,
not strip from the tree, for the wounds
you make on the tree will dry the feeble
stock; but if you leave part of the
stem of the leaf on it viii not dry out.

It won't do to hasten slowly in
milking, for milking should be done
rapidly and thoroughly. Slow milking
of COWS never secures the. full product.
The COW becomes tired of relaxing the
under muscles, and after time resuming
the more natural position of contracting
them. This makes much stripping
necessary. and slow mixer viii never
have patience to strip long time. Par
tial milking soon dries the COW and
greatly reduces her value.

The people of the country consumed all

the imported goods was S194, 464, ,75S The
average rate Of duties on the goods in this
schedule was therefore 40 per cent. The
lowest estimate of the increased cost Of the

IN the above table, although il would be
one of the most important and conspicu-

Little Things.

Springs are little things, but they are
sources of large streams; a helm is q lit
tie thing, but it governs the course of a
ship; bride is but little thing, but
we know its use and power; nails and
pegs are little things, but they hold the
parts of large buildings together; word,
a look, smile, are little things, but
powerful for good or evil. Think of this,
and mind the little things. Pay that
little debt; if it is promise, redeem it;
you know not what important events
may hang upon it. Keep your word
sacred; keep it to the children-they
will mark it sooner than any one else,
and the effect will probably be rs lasting
as life Mind little things.

tendency of manure is to go down into

There is probably very little if any loss

As soon as the fruit is picked, the
vines of the old strawberry beds should
be ploughed under and the land set with
cabbage or turnips, or some other late
crop: thus not only utilizing the land,
but what is of still more importance, de-
stroying the weeds and grass before they
ripen their seed. He who permits his
old strawberry bed to remain till next
spring, fills his garden with weed seeds
that will take several years to extermi-

The Baby's Second summer.
rom Philadelphia Times.

I
There are three sources from whicl
harm to the children may beanticipateC
during the coming three months. Thes
are the process of teething, indigestion
and the heat. An account of the trou
bles incident to these circumstances
would now be seasonable and possibly
interesting to many. AtaIl events thest
matters are standard topics of converse
tion among mothers, evidence that they
at least know of the gravity of the trou
| bles in question.
Although thermometer is not exact
ly indispensable where there are young
children, yet it is a great convenience,
for until the external temperature rises
to about 80 degrees, little trouble may
be expected from the heat Troubles due
TO the cause just named are best COM
bated by frequent sponging of the face,
arms, hands and feet with simple cool
water Children that are so treated will
be much less liable to be affected by the
heat and other matters now to be spoken
Of
The liability to indigestion increases
as the Summer heat approaches the
maximum point. In the treatment of
this trouble the old rule about prevea-
tion will be especially useful At this
time the avoidance of fat and heated
foods and of unwholesome breast and
other milk are very important points.
The foods most suitable for summer
use can be named in short order. Use
the most nutritious and digestible sub
stances that can be commanded. Meats
h.,ie Cz1
custard, rice pudding, cold, good ice
cream, milk and sponge cake are prime
articles of summer diet for all, and es-
pecially for children who can use food
other than milk.
The eruption of the teeth goes on
most vigorously during the second year
of the child's life, and makes unusual
demands on its vital powers. This cir
accounts for the more serious
outlook of all the diseases that may oc-
cur at this period of the child's life.
When child is teething and appears in
great general distress, with perhaps
hot and dry skin, much relief may be
by allowing an abundance of
cold water to drink and by cool bait b,
followed by sharp rubbings of all parts

hand, the child should be attacked by
sudden vomiting and purging, with
much apparent weakness and cool skin,
medical advice should be had with all
speed. While waiting for the coming
of the doctor, drop of the best brandy,
in hot, sweetened water, should be given
by the mouth. Hot spice plasters ap-
piled to various parts of the body, nota-
bly, the stomach, would..b useful.

arose from a reduction of wages in the shops at
Ellis and the laying off of some men at Denver,
the result being strike in all the shops of the
road. Mr.. Clark said the reduction was un-
authorized and unknown tethim till he saw an
account Of the strike. The result was he issued
an order restoring the old rates at Ellis, return
ing to work the men laid off at Denver, and
promising there would notagain beiany reduc-
tions of wages. If necessary to furnish work for
all. the hours of labor would be reduced
