Tho Fruit Garden.

American Garden.
Selling Fruits-A few pears, apples peaches
with bunch or two of grapes, and few green
leaves and flowers the top, all neatly ar
ranged in small basket and costing at retail
about twenty five cents, sell readily in our fruit
stores for seventy-fve cents to dollar simply
because the whole arrangement is pleasing and
attractive and convenient to handle. This same
principle applies to e-selling of almost every
thing, and fruit growere might take hint or
two from the lesson.
Some fruit growers also iniure their reputa-
ton as well as their pockets, than they are
aware OF, by dishonest "topping-off." To sell a
barrel of inferior fruit for frstclass because its
top is veneered with layerM good specimens
is as much q fraud as to sell plated ware for
solid silver.
Labels.-The most durable and convenient
label for trees is strip of rough zinc. Ii ord-
nary smooth zinc has to be used it should be
immersed in diluted muriatc acid for a few
minutes, to roughsn the surface. Ordinary pen
ell writing will last for many years on such
labels; they may be fastened with copper wire,
or if the strips are cut long enough, their ends
may be twisted around small limbs.
There is nothing more discouraging. after hav-
ing planted q collection of fruits, than to find
when they come into bearing that the labels
have become detached and every trace of them
lost The wise thing to do, therefore, is to ex-
anime every newly planted tree before winter
storms have blown off the labels, and fasten
them securely. And still the wiser thing after
that is to make an accurate map of the orchard,
matter how rough, indicating the exact po-
stion and name of every tree, so that it may be
identified at glance, independent of labels.

hogs of the improved breeds will gain muchfaster

animals that do not belong to any of the recog
nized breeds. The time in which the corn is fed
viii exert great influence on the amount
of pork it will make Hogs kept in uncomfort
able quarters may eat large amount of corn
and increase in weight but very little The hog
will snow the money value of comfort better
than almost any animal kept on the farm Again,
the feeding value of corn differs very greatly.
Many farmers sell their best corn and keep that
which is not merchantable to feed to their hogs.
This soft corn does hot contain the fattening
qualities of that which is sound and dry The
condition of the corn when fed will exert great
influence on the amount of pork produced TO
obtain the best possible results the corn should
not only be ground, but thoroughly cooked.
Whether it will pay to grind and cook food for
hogs will depend on several circumstances such
the price of fuel the cost of grinding, and the
expense of labor. That many farmers do sue
coed in making hunnred pounds of pork from
five hundred pounds of cooked corn meal APP
pears to be we'll established by undoubted testi-
mony. That many Western farmers do not OBJ.
tain pound of pork from every ten pounds of
corn they feed to their hogs, or allow their hogs
to eat in the field, is probably equally certain.
AS a rule, seven pounds of corn are required to
produce pound Of pork

fore hanging out to dry, and in this starch put
a piece of starch polish allowing to enc quart OF

Young farmers are often disappointed in the
amount of pork they obtain from feeding given
number of bushels of corn to hogs. They antici-
pate results they do not realize. They read the
statement of some contributor to an agricultural
journal to the effect that 600 pounds of corn re-
suited Ia adding 100 pounds to the weight of a
lot of hogs or that one hushel of corn was con
verted into ten pounds of pork. Like causes
may generally DO expected to produce like re-
suits. but in trying to repeat the experiments per-
formed by others we should nat expect the Same
results unless we secure the same conditoins
Hogs differ as mucheas other animals do in their
ability to take ON flesh and tat. Thrifty young

A CUNNING HORSE.
A Mischievous Colt Which Could Do Man,
Remarkable Things.

"A MlschleVouS Colt Which Could Do Many
Remarkable Things.
Did you ever own nice horse, who
was full of fun and mischief, and whosel
eye seemed to have laugh in itP Let
me tell you about such q one. She was
as black as jet; she had white star I'M
her face, and white stocking on herr
left hind foot She was round and
plump, and very quick in her motions. !
She could trot, rack, pace and run, and
under the saddle was charmer. Herr
name vas Juliette. AS colt she took
the lead in mischief.
She could unite a bow-knot, even
when the end of the strap was putt
through the bough and drawn up
tightly But she was not so foolish as
to do this when there was no occasion.
But omit feeding her when the other
horses were fed, and then step out of
the barn for a few moments; suddenly
return, and she would be found united,
and in a stall with another horse, help
ing herself to his grain. She had three
associates, whom she led into mischief
in the night. She would open the barn.
dOOl5 winch was 4dotCuCu Win a IOOht
and staple; open the barn-yard gate by
drawing out the pin that held it. She
would let down the bars with her teeth,
and lead her three trusting companions
into the grain field. There they would
be found in the morning, while she had
returned to the barn before the boysl
were up. She had such an Innocent
look when she had been on these excur-l
sons that it would call forth ones adj
miration. When | rode her to bringt
back the colts she seemed to know what
we were after. She would go quite d.
rect to where those wicked colts could
be found, and we would chase them
home in a hurry.
One night mysterious noise was
heard at the barn. Horse-thieves were
not unknown, and, as we had the best
horses in the neighborhood, great
anxiety was felt. Father drew himself
softly out of his warm bed. ReyolYer
in hand, he went carefully and quietly
out of the house, followed by courage
Gus bulldog.
You can imagine his astonishment
when, instead of finding horse-thieYes,
he found Juliette, standing with the
raised pump-handle in her mouth trying
to pump water; while the three colts,
with unbounded confidence in her abil-
ity, stood at the trough watching her
with expectant eyes.-Our Little Ones.
