An Orchard Fertilizer.

The best fertilizer have used for
fruit trees is made of chip-dirt from
the wood-pile, and old ashes. | mix
in the proportion of one bushel of ash
es to three of chip-dirt, stirring well
with the shovel. About two bushels
of this mixture is to be spread around
each young tree, giving large, we'll
grown trees more. The manure is ap-
piled at any season. Do not pile
around the trees any litter or rubbish
that would harbOr mice. In summer
keep the weeds from around the trees.
Experience has taught me that this
fertilizer serves q very important pur-
pose, not only in supplying the trees
with suitable food, but in mellowing
the soil, and helping on such crops as
may choose to plant in my orchard.
1t is an excellent fertilizer for any
crop. annual or perennial, and the
ashes (from hard woody supply the
trees with the element they most need,
and the soil lacks, namely, potash.
1t is pleasure to see how a young
orchard will thrive after an applica-
tion of this fertilizer. Sometimes l
burn logs to get ashes for this pur-
pose, and if | have no chip-dirt, | go
to dead oak or hickory and scrape
together the fallen bits of bark, and
the rich earth around the tree. 1t is a
very good substitute for the chip-dirt.
1t is obvious that this material is rich
in the elements of food of trees. be-
lieve in keeping fruit trees we'll fed,
and that a large space around each
tree should be given exclusively to the
tree from which to draw its supplies.

ferring TO have them branch low, and
to trim down rather than up.-W B.

sake of the teeth" | remember dent
ist who made large fortune by his
practice telling me very curious an
.ecdote. He said sixty or seventy years
ago, before artificial material was used
for teeth, il was often difficult and al
ways expensive to obtain teeth. One
night q huge ill.favored fellow called
at his office, and offered him very
considerable quantity of teeth, and
named his price. The bargain was
struck, and the fellow told the dentist
how he got them. He had pretended that
his wife was dead, aud went with tears
in his eyes to city church and saw
the sexton, and asked him about the
place she could occupy in the vault,
and learned the scale of charges. He
was shown over the vault, and while in
It he stood with his back toward the
small door leading into the church
yard, by which door the bodies were
brought In. He managed to undo the
bolt, and the same night he entered by
that very door and ransacked every
coffin, thus obtaining the large supply
Of teeth my friend purchased.

Destiny,

What is destiny? A thing of beauty
and joy forever ? Well, no; though
we fain would shake destiny by the
hand, we cannot. 1t is that subtle, in
sinuating something by which nature
Is related to natural law; that marplot,
50 to speak, which ovcrthrows all the
ories. and we have no use for it. In
the first place, we do not believe in
destiny.
In the second place, destiny is too
premature; it thrusts mans roll upon
him before he is half made up before
he has even had an opportunity of
showing what he is capable of; there
by oftentimos making millonares of
those who should be poor men, and
paupers of those who should be mill
ionaires. For whoever saw poor
man who didn't know how to use
millionaire's millions better than he
did himself ? Therefore we know
that destiny has made mistake in the
man
Thirdly, destiny is only believed in
by young infants and old women who
have never cut their wisdom teeth.
In the fourth place destiny is not to-
be tampered with, for the man who at
tempts to throw destiny will always
tind himself the under dog in the
fight.
In the fifth place, there are some
things which even time and tide have
to wait for, and destiny is one of them
and the moon is another.
Now we come to our siXthly and
lastly; any one who is endowed with
proper ambition and determination
will put destiny in his pocket and
prance up the hill of life sans peur ct
sans reprochc or hoe vincet, or some
thing else equally meritorious.
We have now come to the end OF our
dissertation, and like most of the min
isters, when they come to the end of
their sermons, we will add few re-
marks of our own to the congregation,
thereby giving popularity to the occa-
sion and precedent to the cause.
When the hours drag YEARLY, and
you are inclined to rail at fate, just,
climb up on the back fence and count
the flaws in your neighbors, then you
will feel harmonized with your sur
roundings and equal to any emergen-
cy, then the mountains in yourselves
will seem as nothing in comparison to
the mole-hills of your neighbors. BE
critical and you will be happy; or mis-
erable as the case may be.-Holy

A Windy Day in March.

No portion of the year so tries the
cheerful temper of the farmer as does
the month of March. From childhood
he has been told, and the almanacs
have repeated it in his maturer years.,
that spring begins with March. This,
idea has become so firmly fixed that
successive yearly disappointments have
not dislodged it, but as each succeed,
ing March comes round, he feels that,
it should bring spring weather and
spring work. We are apt to think
with something akin to envy, of the
English farmer, whose weather comes
true to the almanac, and whose spring,
il it does not begin in March, is not
deferred until May, but borrows the
later days of February. Even in the
generally genial climate of England,
March is proverbially clustering and
uncertain month. Even in our era the
Anglo-SaXOns had in their language
names for March which meant rugged
month" and "stormy month";" These
people believed that March had bor-,
rowed three days from April, and eX-
pressed the character of these days in
n proverb, which is said to be still in
use by the rustics in parts of England
and Scotland. 1t is said OF these three
borrowed days:
"The first It shall be wind and wcct;
The next II shall be snow and slcet;
The third It shall be sic freeze,
Shall gar the birds stick to the trees"
With ne in Snmn vnnrS this ancient
description of its last three days will
apply to all the others that procedc
them. The thoughtful farmer will tho
more patiently endure the bluster of
the month, il he thinks of the part
these uncomfortable winds play in
preparing his lands for the plow. A
March wind is provcrbially a drying
one, and it takes up the moisture left
by melting SHOWS with an astonishing
rapidity. These winds are even fertil-
izing his fields. As they rapidly re-
move the water from the surface,
more comes up from below by capil-
larry attraction, bringing with 1t the
plant-food it holds in solution; as this
in turn is evaporated, whatever it
contains is left in the soil, within
reach of the roots of the crops. 1t is
mistake to fret about the weather.
However disagreeable it may be, if we
look with believing eyes we can sec
that every dispensation of Nature is
ever working for our good. DR.. Thur

Cancer n Disease of the well-to-Do.

We have then confessedly to face
the fact that cancer is increasing in
our midst at rate which bids fair to
become more and more serious with
the advance of time. In an article en-
titled IAN inquiry into the Causes of
the Increase of Cancer" published in
The British Medical Journal a year ago,
] drew attention to the observations
which had been made upon the sub
iect by the late Chas. Moore, whose
Investigations into the pathology o.
cancer had brought under his notice
the incontroyertible evidence Of the
increase. In the year 1865 he pub
lished a small book called the ANTE
cedents OF Cancer" the contents of
which chiefly consist in an attempt to
explain in what manner the augmenta-
tion of cancer is influenced in tho cir
cumstances of life prevailing IN this
country. For instance, he held that
the introduction ofIcorn, laws, the dis
coveries of gold and sanitary improve
mcnts, whereby the wcll-being Of the
nation was conspcuously established,
affected cancer Indirectly by bringing
into prominence the predisp0sing
causes of its occurrence; ard good
living, it is thought, which follows as
a corollary of commercial prosperity,
is intimately associated with the mani
festation of cancer. Again, inasmuch
as cancer is characteristic of the
healthy, it may be expected to abound
amid the conditions of health. The
greater prevalence of the disease
among the rich than among the poor
can probably bo explained in this man
ncr. According to French observer,
the proportion ofcancer in the wealthy
classes is about l06 in 1000, in the
poor classes it is Y in 1000; or at a
rate in the former case of 10 per cent
and in the latter of 7 per cent. Now,
curious as it may seem, cancer is met
with in the lower animals; and it has
been said to prevail more frequently
among those which are ileSh-caters
than those which are herb-eaters. 1t
has been stated by the late DR.. Crisp
who had good opportunities of judy
ing, that cancer is by no means an
uncommon disease among the domes-
ticated animals, while in wild animals
and uncivilized man it is rare Dr.. H.

About Contagious Diseases.

Prof. Tyndall thus endeavors to ex-
plain the immunity obtained against o
second attack of a contagious disease:
"One of the most extraordinary and
unaccountable experiences in medicine
was the immunity secured bya single
attack of a communicable disease
against future attacks of the same
malady. Smallpox, typhoid or scar
latina, for example, was found as q
general rule to occur only once in n
lifetime of the individual, the sue oess-
ful passage through the disorder ap-
parently rendering the body invul-
nerable. Reasoning from analogy, /
have ventured to express the opinion
that the rarity Of second attacks OF
communicable disease was due to the
removal from the system, by the first
parasitic crop, of some ingredient nec-
essary to the growth and propagation
of the parasite. Eclectic Magazine.
