ORCHARD AND GARDEN

Don't kill the toads.
 Hurry in the late seeds. . Wheel hoes are labor savers.
 Plant melons in nanured hills.
 Washing berries is failure; mulch them,
 Dwarf apples may stand as close seven feet
 Good picking and packing is half in fruit growing.
 Six hundred bushels of onions have been raised to the acre.
 Three ounces of carrot seed will SOW a drill one hundred feet long.
 Fires kindied in the orchard at night will attract and kill many of the early moths, which if allowed to live will entail much trouble through the, increase of their num- Der.
 Currant Worns.-It seems a pity to see the currant and gooseberry bushes so often deprived of their leaves by these worms when preventive is so easily secured. Pow dered white hellebore is almost perfect remedy. It may be applied either by dust ing it over the foliage when wet, or else by using two ounces of powder to pailful of water and then swinging the foliage. Two or three applications repeated at intervals of a couple of days will rid the plants entirely. Let the matter of applying the remedy be taken in hand early, for the loss of only 8 portion of the leaves seriously affects both the quality and quantity of the fruit.

WISE WORDS.

One to-day is worth two to.morrows.
Be self reliant: do not take to too
much advice, but rather depend on your
self.
A good word is any easy obligation;
but not to speak i'll requires only our
silence, which costs us nothing.
There is respect due to mankind
which should incline even the wiscst of
men to follow innocent customs.
Hurry and Cunning are two appren-
tees of Despatch and Skill, but neither
OF them ever learned their masters trade.
If you would know true hearted
woman, look right into her eyes. If
she is deceptive, she cannot look into
yours.
In friendship, we see only the faults
which may injure our friends. In love
we see only the faults by which we our
selves suffer.
Take walk to refresh yourself with
the open air, which inspired fresh doth
exceedingly recreate the lungs, heart and
vital spirits.
DO something, do it now with all your
might. An angels wing would droop
if long at rest, and God himself inactive
were no longer blest.

Farm and Garden Notes.

A cellar is a good place in which to
keep butter.
In the destruction of weeds use horse
labor as much as possible, as hand labor
makes the work very costly.
Many fences on the farm are perfectly
useless and merely serve as harbors for
weeds and their propagation.
a tablespoonful or saltpeter to gal
lon of water is recommended as de-
structive of the cabbage worm.
Wet clay or mud will give relief from
bee or wasp stngs, and none of the
modern remedies arc any better.
Cotton seed meal is likely to prove
very valuable substitute for Indian corn
as fattcning material for stock.
Sluggish streams and puddles which
are used by hogs become very filthy in
short time, and are often the cause of
hog cholera and other diseases.
Ornamental plants of all descriptions
employ ed in the decoration of the draw
ing room and other indoor apartments
will require careful attention in the mat
ter of watering. These must have sutii-
cient water to maintain the soil in q
moderately moist state and no more.
Most of the experiments made in feed
ing swine with cooked and raw food
have not shown sufficient difference in
favor of the former to pay for the extra
labor required, while in some cases bet
ter results have been obtained from feed
ing law corn meal than that which had
been cooked.
Corn is not the best food for pigs
while growing. If peas are grown in
the orchard and the pigs turned on the
stubble after the bulk of the crop is off,
the pigs will thrive, the apple trees and
the crop will be benefited, and the peas
will probably pay better under the shade
If growing orchard than any other
crop that can be grown there.
1t is much better for farmers to burn
the bones which annually accumulate
around farm than to make no use OF
them. When burned they can be readily
pulverized, and being mixed with a
caustic potash the phosphate is put in
much more soluble condition than where
they are ground without burning, There
is a loss of nitrogen by the fire.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
ITO VITO Make Plants Grow.

Success in house plant culture con-
sists in keeping the soil moist, not wet,
except in the case of the cala in see
ing that the leaves are kept clean,
which can be easily done by weekly
showering with syringe or waterproof
with fine rose nozzle; in keeping
down spiders and the aphis water,
above and below the leaves, in liberal
quantities, applied with syringe being
the remedy for the former, and tobacco
smoke orirfusion for the latter; and in
so regulating the temperature that it
does not exceed SIS degrees nor fall below
45 degrees. Keep between these ex-
tremcs, as evenly as possible, if you
would have it suited to your plants. 1t
is good plan to cover them before
sweeping, after that remove the cover
ing, and sprinkle them daily. Keep a
vessel of water on the stove to cvaporate
and put moss between the pots, if you
can, to absorb water which it will give
of in sufficient quantities to keep the
air perceptibly moist about the plants
Give them all the light you can. Don't
have curtains at the windows where you
have plants, unless you can put them
aside during the day time. Attention to
these details, and a careful study of
your plants will soon enable you to grow
them we'll. The more study you give
the matter, the more intelligently you
can do your work. Our Country Home

The moultng hens should by all
means be separated and kept in yards
by themselves. 1t would also be a good
plan to put the young, growing pullets
with them.
Those specimens should be selected
which the keeper intends to use for
breeding purposes next season. and spc-
cial care should be taken in making up
the breeding pen, selecting only the very
best and promising specimens.
Weed out all the culls and surplus
roosters, which cannot be sold TO good
advantage, and send them oil TO market
together with all the old fowls, if any
are on hand, for they are never very
profitable stock to keep after the second
year. Early Matched pullets are far
superior to two year old hens.
Clean up the hen house, and get 1t in
good shape for the cold weather. Fix
everything in good order so that there
will not bc any changes made early in
the spring, as it is very desirable to have
hens sit early and bring off early broods
of chickens. Early Matching is the foun-
dation Of success in breeding poultry of
any kind. Late Matched pullets seldom
amount to much the following season,
and are not fit to breed from as they are
not well developed. Their eggs will not
produce as strong, healthy chicks as
those coming from older hens.
Ventilation is absolutely necessary and
is essential to health Mess poultry
house be vel AID properly ventilated
fowls cannot Ue kept healthy for any
great length of time.
Very young ducklings are tender at
first, and should neither be allowed to 90
into cold water nor be exposed to chill
ing winds while they are under twenty
days old. Such exposures cause cramps
and they often die suddenly fiom these
causes.
Select the best shaped and largest eggs
from the best layers for Matching. The
best absorbcnts to strew under the floor
and under the roots are dry muck, plas-
ter of paris and road dust.
Clear coal oil will, if properly applied,
cure the worst cases of scaIy legs. 1t is
also sure death to lice, and may be safely
used on fowls and chickens OF all ages,
except sitting hens and very young
chicks and turkeys. There is nothing
gained by mixing the oil in grease OF
sulphur. Poultry Journal.

The mines put all men for once upon a
level. Clothes money, manners, family
connections, letters of introduction,
never before counted for so little. The

SELF The richest miner in The camp
was seldom able to hire servant; those
who had been glad to serve others were
digging in their own claims. The veriest
greenhorn was as likely to uncover the
richest mine in the gulch as was the
wsest of ex-professors of geology; and,
on the 9th er hand the best claim on the
river might suddenly "give OUT and
never again yield dollar. The poorest
man in the camp could have handful
of gold dust for the asking from more
successful neighbor to give him another
start and help him "hunt for better

too near and seemingly too eXhaustless.
"To little camp of 1S49"-so an cd
miner writes me-"a lad of sixteen came
one day, footsore, weary, hungry and
penniless. There were thirty robust and
cheerful miners at work in the ravne,
and the lad sat on the bank watching
them awhile in silence, his face telling
the sad story of his fortunes. At last
one stalwart miner spoke to his fellows,
saying: Boys, Pll work for an hour for
that chap if you will At the end of
the hour 800 worth of gold dust was
laid in the youths handkerchief. The
miners made out list of tools and nee

these and come back. Wen have good

the work is trifling, and even at low
price per bushel the crop is one of the
most profitable that farmer can grow.
They need to be grown near market,
but meet in any city or village ready
sale at from twenty-five to forty cents
per bushel.
Sulphur and powdered copperas, each
five pounds. wood ashes, two bushels,
and slaked lime, one bushel, all we'll
mixed together and placed under shelter
within reach of the hogs, will do the
latter good by way of keeping them free
from worms and lice, and thus better
able to resist contagious or infectious
diseases, and the influence of malaria so
prevalent during the latter part of sum-
mer or in the fall.
Corn that is not fully ripe will make
fair seed if cut and dried before frost.
If the kernel has glazed the sap in the
stalk will rpen it as perfectly as If left
until the stalk dries up. The great point
in sowing seed corn is to have the cob
dry out before very cold weather. The
germ is imbeddcd in the cob, and if the
latter is frozen the vitality of the seed
is injured or destroyed. But for this
danger unripe corn would grow as well
rs any.
Most persons who use lima beans do
not know how excellent they are when
dried for winter use. They are as much
better than the common bean as they are
when used in summer. The seed almost
always brings high price in spring, and
for this use is one of the most profitable
crops that farmer can grow. The adj
vantage in raising lima beans for seed is
that they can be grown by farmers so far
removed from cities that the cost of
growing viii be greatly reduced.
The old saying that "a stitch in time
saves nine" finds an appropriate appli-
cation in many directions of labor. There
is nothing of more importance to the
farmer than his fences, and he should
have an eye to their security, especially
when they are likely to endanger crops.
Proper repairs should be made in the
spring, and if these are neglected trouble
is likely to follow; this was illustrated
only little time since in the case of a
ncighbor whose corn field received Wis
itation from his stock, because of a
neglect to make necessary repairs. After
the horse was stolen the lock was put
upon the barn. How much better it
would have been to have made the repair
at the proper time.
