Pinching i'm Vines.

An " exchange " item now going the
rounds of the rural columns of many of
the local journals gives the experience
of a practical " gardener who, desir-
ing to test the "pinching in i" treat
ment of vines, selected two squash
vines foreXperiment. One was allowed
to run at will, and sent out a single
stem reaching more than forty feet, but
did not bear a single squash, while
another that was pinched in, until it
formed a compact mass of intermin-
Cling side shoots, bore sixteen squashes.
This wise and close-observing practical
gardener further discovered that all the
male blossoms are produced on the
main stem, while all the female or fer
tile flowers are upon the side shoots.
We wonder if the question ever oc-
Cured to him, Who pinched the squash
vines that grew and bore fruit in the
early days before the practical farmers

A FeIOn Cure.


Dear Household;-Willyou please pub
fish the following cure for felon? 1t
is remarkable remedy. Take the yolk
of an egg and an equal quantity of
strained honey; one tablespoonful of
spirits of turpentine, freshly drawn, and
one tea-spoonful of spirits of camphor.
Mix well and thicken with flour to the
consistency of a thin paste. Spread it
upon the sore thinly and cold. 1t takes
hold with astonishing power and draws
matters to crisis rapidly-even extracts
the feverish blood itself, half formed
into pus, and makes clean work with
teloniSh fingers. Every one ought TO
know it. S. M. d. c., Norwich, Vt.

A Climber for the House.

One of our best house-climbers is the
Cobea. 1t has pretty foliage and large,
purplish, bell-shaped flowers. 1t is
very rapid grower. C.. rdriegdta is
variety having leaves broadly blotched
with pure white, which contrasts finely
with the green of the foliage and makes
a charming plant to train up about win
dow. The ends of the branches should
be pinched off when two or three feet
of growth has been made, to induce
more branches to start and make the
plant more compact. 1t frequently
makes a growth of fifteen or twenty
feet in season. If one has a bay-win-
dow with an arch between it and the
sitting-room, this plant is very effective
if trained on the sides and festooned
along the vault of the arch.-E. b. Rio

keep up the production of hay as long
as possible without being under the ne
cessity of blowing. This can be best
secured by frequent top-dressings of
manure, little at a time and often,
commencing before the grass has be-
gun to run out, thus keeping it up to
profitable point of production. / would
mention that the last time the field was
plowed sulky plow was used, and it
was astonishing to note the superiority
of the work done on what was previ-
ously such forbidding piece of ground.
There is much land of the character of
this, the crops on which will barely pay
interest and taxes, that could be thus
profitably improved and become a
source of real income and satisfaction
to the owner.

THE feeding of cattle is attended
with a great deal of risk to the mex
perienced. A large amount of feed
can easily be fed to cattle without the
stock showing much Improvement.
There is a good deal in the preparation
and kind of feed and in the manner of
feeding it. The choice of the animals
may decide which side of the balance
sheet will foot up the heaviest, and, in
various ways, experience will teach the
feeder many " tricks of the trade " and
how and what to feed to the best adj
vantage. -StOckmdn.

AMONG the new scarce roses is one
called Paquerette. 1t is one of the
finest of this class. The flowers are
pure white, of the most perfect shape,
about one and one-half inches in di-

five to thirty flowers each. A very free
bloomer, and one of the finest pot plants.

REPLY BY AGRICULTURAL EDITOR.
1t is not best to bank up apple trees at
any time. The ground around the tree
should not be higher than the general
surface, except when the trees are set
on springy slope; in which case no
holes should be dug, but the roots
spread out upon the surface, after lev
cling, and covered with good soil up as
high as may be necessary to reach lit
tie over the crown, indicated by the
marks of junction between stem and
root. Mounding with manure, espe-
cially strong manure like that from
sheep-pen, in the fall, is likely to be
injurious and cannot be beneficial.
What manure is given the trees should
be spread evenly over the surface, as
far out as the roots extend. After this,
it is well to apply mulch of strawy
litter, extending out as far as the ma
nure, and deep enough to be four to
six inches thick when settled. All
mulched trees should be protected from
mice by laths or thick, strong paper tied
around the trunk, one and one-half or
two feet from the ground up. Trees
set as above advised for a springy slope
should also be well staked. 1t is not
probable that j LIS trees were killed
by the mounding. They more likely
persisted by winter-killing, not being so
thoroughly iron-clad" as the Peach

Banking Apple Trees.

Mr.. EditOr:-Is it best to bank up
apple trees, planted in the spring of
1884, this coming fall? If so, with
what material, and how much? 1
banked them up last fall with sheep
manure made the previous winter,
taken out of sheep-pens, perhaps one
foot high In the spring, when l re-
moved the banking, about one hundred

winter. The tops were quite dead-in
fact, l think only two, which were Peach
apples, were alive to the tops.

Among the many pretty things writ
ten by Charley Goodwin, of the Salt
Lake Tribune, none We have ever
read strike US so beautifully pathetic
as the following inspired by the last
words of Vice President Hendricks:
Many people are in the habit of
studying the last words of dying men,
to see if they Indicate in what channel
the mind was running. Others, who
have deep religious beliefs. study
dying words to see if from them some
glimpse into the profound beyond this
life can not be obtained. Without
following either path, it seems to Us
that the last words of Vice-President
Hendricks were exactly the words
which any old politician and states
man. or of any other overworked man
Of G6 would, could he send a message
back from the other shore, return to
fhis world. No more struggles; no
more cares; no more defeats; no more
empty. triumphs ; no more hollow
honors: NO more delayed hopes. Il
am free at last; send for Eliza In
eight brief words the tired man, tired
unto death, gave to the world notice
that all its honors were as nothing;
that the only thing on earth worth the
final cherishing of q man, vas liome
and the affections which make the real
home a shrine. He must have felt
that his supreme moment Was al hand
that he MAS free; but be wanted one
more glance at the face of tile woman
who has been all in all to linn through
- many years; the woman Win has
held up his arms 4 hundred times
when he was ready to faint; who
cheered him on; whe, with abiding
/, faith IN her husband and IN herself,
has always believed that 1.-THE greatest

calm of the grave began to steal over
him and he felt that he was free at

him. No thought of the honors that
were his came to him then no thoughts
of the hard fights tina. he had lost and
won; no thoughts of what might be.
could life be spared to him for a few
years more. Only oyor him stole the
ineffable peace of the eternal rest into
which he was sinking, and the only
wish was that she who for forty years
had been his better self might be near.
In such u death the American home
receives its fullest vindication, and the
sacred name of wife takes on new
dignity and new honor. Ambition
may be satiated or outlived the highest
triumphs may lose their cn1hantment;
the struggle for fame or gold may at
last become a burden. Then there is
nething left except the sacred circle
of home and the affections which give
to hsnc their charm. Itis only there
that the tired man can turn and feel
that he is free at last the great world
for him contracts to that little circle
and there the miracle of babyhood is
repeated for him "a loving voices make
. lullaby, in listening to which, un-
consciously he sinks into his final
sleep.
