FOR TIE FARM AND HOME.
Tho Apple Orchard.


Josiah Hopes says in the New York
Tribune: One may apply fertilizers to
the soil and yet neglect the trimming,
washing the bark, and destruction Of
injurious insects, consider all of
very nearly equal Importance. A top
dressing of any good. rich compost
during autumn will pay the owner of
an old orchard as surely as If applied
to his wheat-fleld or potato-patch.
And yet the farmers allow the trees to
"run out" to use common express
sion, from ignorance or parsimony,
AS to breaking up the tough sod of an
old orchard to infuse health in the
trees. some difference in judgment ex-
lists, but 1 never could see the'use of
destroying the roots, when equally
good results may be gained by simply
scattering manure over the surface.
Let farmers try the latter and mark
the result; then follow up the good
work next spring by heading back the
tops of all old messy trees, and apply
a coat of alkali in weak solution to the
bark of the body and larger branches.

TASTE AND ETIQUETTE.

Showing That Different Persons Attach
Entirely Different Meanings to tho
Words Constituting the Caption Hereof
Different persons have entirely differ
cnt opinions in regard TO taste and
etiquette. some are sticklcrs for Ger
tain manifestations of good breeding.
while others lay stress upon other and
quite dissimilar rules of behavior. For
instance:
There are men who would be
ashamed to eat with their knives. even
in private, but who will talk at the top
of their voices in the public reading.

And men who, though they would
scorn 10 remain seated in horse.car
while pretty girl is standing, will
throw "A banana skin on the sidewalk
regardless of the inevitable conse.

And women who are scrupulously
neat as TO their hands and fingers, but
who will, nevertheless, persist in wear
ing the biggest hat at the thcatcr that
they can get hold of
And women who sing like seraphs,
and yet will they keep tho car window
wide open though they know that il
means pneumonia to Onc-half OF their
tcllOw-passcngcrs, and catarrh and sore
throat to the other half
And women whose conversation is n
liberal education and perennial delight

scnis iirst-class prcsumptiye evidcncr
that IT has had no acquaintance with

And men who never forget To lif,
their ha', T. Il lady, but who can not be
trusted with impunity for dollar
And men who would die rather than
cat their cup from the end Of their
spoon, but who will lie like Ananias
upon the slightest prOyOcation.
And men who are -crupulously care
ful TO give a lady the inside OF the
walk, and yet think nothing of calling
upon YOU at your busiest hour md boT-
ing you until you wish they were dead.
And women who would never pre-
sumo TO help themselves 40 table unit,

nevertheless say the spitciulcst things
imaginable about their dear friend be-
hind her back
And boys who never forget 10 saw
"Ges, sir and "Ycs'm." but who are
taken with sudden sickness the mo-
mcut they are asked 10 do an crrand

And girls VINO do not have to be

And men who would not clean their
