WISDOM OF THE CLASSICS.

Anger is short madness.
Necessity is a powerful weapon.
The stomach is the giver of genius.

Authority founded on or maintained
by injustice is never of lJng duration.

The power acquired by guilt is never

Their power is hateful and their life
miserable who wish to be feared rather

In those things which are essential let
there be unity, in n-essentials liberty,
and in all things charity.
In love there are all those evils
wrongs, suspicious, enmities, treaties,
and alternate war and peace.
There are some reproaches which form

which are, in fact, a slander.

arts is the surest mode of refining the
grossness and subdulng the harshness of

FRUIT TREE CULTURE.

1. Instead of trimming up" trees
according to the old fashion, to make
them long-legged and long-armed, trim
them down, so as to make them even,
snug and symmetrical.
2. Instead of manuring heavily in a
small circle at the foot ofthe tree, spread
the manure if needed at all, broadcast
over the whole surface, especially where
the ends of the roots can get it.
8. Instead of spading a small circle
about the stem, cultivate the whole
surface broadcast.
4. Prefer a well pulverized, clean
surface in an orchard, with moderately
rich soil, to heavy manuring and sur
face covered with hard crust and weeds
and grass. ...
Remember that it is better to set
out ten trees, with all the necessary care
to make them live and flourish, than to
set out hundred trees and have them
all die from carelessness.
6. Remember that tobacco is a poison
and will kill insects rapidly if properly
applied to them, and is one of the best
drugs fo- freeing fruit trees rapidly of
small vermin. Western Agricuiturist.

BEAuTIFY YOUR HOME.

The home should be as beautiful and
pleasant as it is possible to make it.
Home is the place ofrest and enjoyment.
1t is the refuge from care, trouble. and
all the tumults and turmoils of life. 1t
is the one spot where the hearts purest
affections garner themselves and seek
their chosen resting place. 1t is the
woman's first duty to make this dwelling
place. over which she is the mother
queen, as CHEEKY, coy and lovely as she
can. The first requisite of this desired
contamination is that she herself be hap
py, hopeful, pleasant, and contentedly
agreeable. To become this she must live
hygienically, she must eat proper food
wear comfortable clothes, and not be
oppressed by too many cares and bur-
dens. If she is her own houseSeeper
she should study to do her work on the
most simple and easy plan. cook but
few dishes at a time, and have each as
perfect in itself as possible.
Woman has no more important duty
than that of making home pleasant.
Neatuess and cleanliness are indispen-
sable to CHEEKY, cozy looking room. A
plain room. plainly furnished and scru-
pulously clean, is far more bright and
beautiful then more pretentious one
richly adorned with costly furniture that
is soiled, mutilated, and always in dis
order. A few thrifty, nicely kept flower
ing plants and trailing vines are one of
the most enlivening adjuncts to living
room, and a sheltered, sunny window, Is
far better for them, in moderately cool
weather, than the overheated and often
dusty inside position, and they are just
az easily seen also. A few nice pictures
on the walls are always pleasing; but no
picture that shocks the feelings should
ever have a place there. Pictures of war
murder, death bed scenes, animal fights.
and other soul-harrowing views ought
never to be made at all. and especially
allowed within the sacred precincts of
home. Bright, gay, happy and inspiring
views alone should meet the gaze of the
family circle. Should there be un, lightly
objects in the room or recesse5 that con-
tain unnecessary adjuucts to comfort and
coli venience, bright chintz curtain will
screen them from view, and will of itself
make a pleasant resting place for the
eye. Should bit of plastering fall from
the wall piece of white muslin neatly
pasted over the place will hide the
defect and save all further scaling OF
and dripping of litter. In a thousand
ways one can veil the ugly aud add to
the beautiful, until the humblest little
home may became a very bower of
pleasantness end cheerfulness.
The love of the beautiful needs the
fostering care of every one who would
make life pleasant and happy. Who
ever creates lovely picture, whether on
canvas, in a poem or on the broad brown
bosom of mother earth, or in coy,
cheerful home. adds to the worlds price
less treasure, and does something to-
waids elevating, refining and happyiying
the lace.

FISH CULTURE.

A. Harris, Esq, writes the Home and
Farm as follows about fish culture:
Some years ago conceived the idea
of raising my own fish by the construc-
ton of an artificial pond. Near my
house several springs broke out in the
head Of a small hollow, surrounded on
three sides by small ridges or high
ground. All had to do to collect fine
body of water was to build a levee or
embankment of dirt from one hill to the
other, which did, about eight feet high,
twelve feet at the base, sloping to eight
at the top, taking the dirt from the in.
side where 1 designed my pond. for the
lev.e. This gave me body of water
covering some two acres of ground, with
a depth Of from two to eight feet deep.
To prevent my pond from filling up, l
cut ditch around it on the hillsides to
carry off all the wash water from rain.
fails.
The next thing was to stock my pond
with choice game fish. This was easily
accomplished with net in small lake
four miles distant-such as white perch
and black bsss, both very choice game
fish. l now have my pond we'll stocked
with these varieties and the common
perch that inkabits almost all the waters.
With the hook and line can, in very
short space of time, catch all the fish l
want any day, and can have them on my
table every day if l want them.
Any farmer that has springs or run
ming brooks on his farm, can raise all
the risf he wants for his OWE table, and
many more, at little expense or trouble
by the construction of artificial ponds.
Game fish, such as / have mentioned.
and trout, require pure water to do we'll !:
other kinds, such as the different species
of catfish, buffalo and carp do we'll in

There is no healthier diet for man

as fish, and the danger is your water
will get overstocked. The day IS not
far distant v hen fish will be raised by
the millions all over the country, and the

There is good deal in the way the

RESULT OF SHALLOW DRAINING.

We notice in one of our exchanges a
failure in shallow draining that ought to
be timely warning to all who are about
to engage in this sort of improvement.
A rural improver two years ago laid
three in h tile drain in a springy spot
in his field for the purpose of clearing it
of water. The pipe was laid two feet
deep, the joints being covered with caps.
It seemed to work perfectly for a time.
Last season the plet was planted with
potatoes, but the soil was unaccountably
wet for drained land. After the crop
was gathered the tiles were examined,
and found to be packed so full of grass
roots as to stop the running ofthe water
Spridg water makes long season for
grass, and in two years the roots had OBJ
structed the passage of water and made
the drain useless. A neighbor of ours
has drained several swales upon his
farm, laying the tiles only eighteen
inches below the surface, and thus lost
the better part of his investment. The
shallow drains are not only liable to be
stopped by roots of grasses and other
plants, but there is large loss in the
failure 10 drain what lies Immediately
below the drained surface. The roots of
grass, of fruit trees, and of hoed crops
will 60 down four or five feet in search
of food II they have the opportunity.
They cannot thrive below the water
line, which lies very near the bottom of
the drain. If the drains are but eighteen
inches deep, that is about the limit of
the pasture ground of roots. If the
drains 20 down three feet the area OF
soil that will furnish food for crops
is nearly doubled. The cost of draining
to that depth is but little more, since
the ditch grows narrower as we &C down.
The cost OF the tiles and the work of lay.
ing them are the same whether the ditch
is eighteen inches or four feet In depth.
But ii the cost we're double in making
