Pruning Roses.

The ReUue HOrtlc0le, referring to an ar
ticle which appeared in the Journal deS
Roses. from the pen of NJ. Viviand MOrel,
offers to It's readers the following state
ments, which NJ. Morel deduces from we'll
observed facts:
l. If in the spring some rose bushes arc
pruued and, on the contrary, some others
are allowed to remain without any sup
preston OF the branches, the latter will
come into bloom about fortnight before
the others: their flowers will be more nu-
merOus and at the same time less beautl-
full.
.. il some rose bushes are completely
pruned, and upon some others are lett
only some twjgs, these latter Will nave the
same advance in time OF bloom.
3. II two rose bushes are pruned alike,
one at the end of September and the other
in February, the one pIuned In autumn
will flower first.
4. If, toward the middle of September,
the branches of n rose bush are laid down
horizontally. and those OF another Dusn
in exactly the same condition are left in
the natural position, and in The spring,
both be pruned alike, the bush with the
branches laid down will bloom first
g. In pruning rose bushes before Fege-
tatiOn starts. that is to say, in February,
bloom on them " i'll be obtained in advance
of that which will appear on bushes prdneo
later.
8. Pinching the young shoots, as they
start on bushes after pruning, retards
blooming very much. In this case the
Diuching should be done before the flower
buds appear, or when the young shoots
have only three or four leaves.

NOT DEAD YET.

Atlanta papers are giving the public some
curious and wonderful cases that are quite in
teresting. 1t seems young lady of Atlanta
had been reported as dead, but it came to the
ears of the Atlanta Journal that she was still
alive, and being on the alert for news re-
porter was sent to the lady's residence to learn
all the facts. Miss Belle Dunaway, who had
been pronounced dead, met him at the door,
stoutly denying that she was dead. She said:
"For four years rheumatism and neuralgia

The reason why sheep are regarded as
the most profitable animals to raise is be-
cause they afford double income"
says the Lire Stock Journal, in the an
nual production OF lambs and wool; and
in the fact stated by Sir J. B. Lawes, that
they will utilize 121l per cent. Of dry for
age, while cattle utilize only so per cent.
Thus 81 pounds OF dry food increased the
weight of sheep as much as 1917 pounds
did the weight of cattle. This shows,
then, that lot only will given amount OF
dry food produce more mutton than beef,
but will give the annual income OF wool
besides. Add TO this that the manure of
sheep is more concentrated as fertilizer
and better than that Of other animals,
with infinitely better distribution upon
the soil; and the argument is all in favor
of the ShppD

Setting Ont Fruit Trees.

If this is to be done why not do it
promptly? In March the sap will begin
to rise il many species and the oppOrtu-
nifty will be lost for another year. Did
you say you have been intending for sew
eral years to nut out an orchard but some
how could not find time to do it? We have
heard this often among farmers and felt
sorry that they so little understood tEeir
own interests. What interest can be
more important to the average farmer
than well managed orchard? The very
health and happiness of his family de-
mand wholesome fruits as a part Of the
daily food; and the farmer who neglects
this branch of his business cuts off q large
proportion of his revenues. What can
give an intelligent man more pleasure
than the care of an orchard Towering and
fruitiHg in due season and crowding his
board with the most fragrant and deli
cious of foods? Men usually come back
to this and appreciate 1t as they grow old,
as if nature designed to reawaken their
dormant affinity for agricultural pursuits,
in order to withdraw them from the vain
struggle of ambition and to give mental
quietude and reflection before death. But
why not do this noble piece Of work in the
days of youth, when 1t could be carried
to so much greater perfection? If old
men who have wheedled away half their
days chasing phantoms of fortune in other
fields, at last lind rest and consolation in
this, what magnitude might we not give
to the sturdy, reflective, simple charac-
tiers of those who pursue 1t intelligently
from youth to old age? A good orchard
is one-third the value Of the farm, why
put it off for another year? II you should
"sen out" it would greatly increase the
price, and if you retain the farm it will
greatly increase the food supply and fur
nish a surplus for the market, large or
small, according to your ambition and
industry.
All the apples, pears, peaches, apricots,
plums, cherries, mulberries, ETC., will do
Just as we'll set out in February as in any
other month OF the year, and also in March
If the weather has not turned warm enough
TO start the sap.

Something To Think About

AS an instance OF the inferior product
of American poultry as compared with
that of France, country where poultry
rearing is carried on very skilliully,
Henry Stewart gives the following fig
ures: The number OF fowls kept in France
is AZ, $50, 80; the average product Of chick
ems reared is three 20 each hen, and the
average product OF eggs per hen is topper
year. The total money product is $l0l,-
900, 900. According to the last census the
number OF fowls il the United States is
102, 272, 135; the product Of chickens is not
given, but il it is in proportion TO the yield
of eggs it would be about three to every
two hens, the average yield of eggs being
"a to each hen. The different reports are
probably near the truth, judging from the
prevalent opinion here that "hens are poor
stock" while the French woman, with
her industrious and hen-cOmpelhng ways,
makes friends of her poHEets and cherishes
them as she does her love letters, which
she also calls by the same word, while
the estimation IN which she holds her
pullets may be realized by the name she
gives them, which is pOutette, and means
not only pullet but darling. Thus Civ
ing her heart to her work, she succeeds in
it and makes it profitable. This is les
son for our poultry Keepers.-Neac York

A MISSOURI poKFR STORY.
4 WOOd-SaEyer Who Knew How {
Handle Abe Cards

81. Ls1tis Globe Democrat.
A good story comes from Troy, Lincoln
county, which is told at the expense OF a
landlord, whose love for the exciting game
OF poker caused him to part with u we'll
hlled wallet one night during last week.
Having ordered load or two OF cord
wood from a mer, the latter in due
time delivered the same in front of his
customers residence, when not long after
= seedy looking individual came along
armed with a SAW and buck and securing
the job went to work in dead earnest, for
which be was 10 receive the mUniticent
sum OF 81. Accomplishing the task just
as the bell rang for supper he was asked

Invitation he accepted without

and lettering around the store he heard
his beneiactOr invite several friends
there 10 join him in a friendly game of
poker, 10 which they readily assented.
The HEAVIER OF wood looked cOmplaCently
on the game for time, and addressing
himself to the host requested the priVi-
lege OF taking hand, saving that al
though apparently destitute he would
blow in the dollar, and adding that cards
were the cause OF mis- present degraded
position in society. All advice on the
part Of the players for the fellow to hold
on % bis only dollar proved unayaIling
and finally he vas admitted TO the game.
In short time he found his winnings
sweiled 70 $50, when. eXasperated. one
OF the party raised the pot to $500, think
ing by that means to freeze the fellow
out. Going down il his bootleg he pulled
forth roll aud covering the bet soon
found, to the dismay OF the crowd, that
the 'bOOdle" was again his. A scene
followed which at one time promised to
become a cause celebre at Troy, but the
cheek Of the wood SAW er carried him
successfully out Of the woods. He was
surrounded by the crowd and threatened
with death, arrest, cremation, pulveTizing
and even dose Of dynamite did he not
return the money. Did he not? Not a

Colonel George l.. Perkins. of Norwich

Colonel George L. Perkins, of Norwich, Conn.,, who celebrated his ninety seventh birthday last week, is the same man who, during the Beecher trial, electrified the court when asked how long he had lived in Norwich by replying: "Eighty-seven years, sir" William M. Evarts, who was examining the witness, was fioored for Q moment, but soon recovered and said !: ssMay I venture to inquire, Colonel Perk- ins, where you spent the rest of your life?' Col. Perkins thinks his chances of living the year out are very good. on the ground that very few cases occur of people dying in their 97th year. He is yet active in business, and holds positions of trust and responsibility, being treasurer of the Nor
 wich and Worcester railroad company.

 Everything. How dare you hold the sainted dead mp to ridicule, sir, and his family to obloquy, by saying the remains were in san elongated, stem winder basket ? I'd have you know he had the finest coffin money could buy"
 Certainly, certainly, Mir. Mullins, we all know that. The expression you refer to is typographical error. Our proof reader is sick. It should have read 'ele- gant silver-monnted casket.

Jan. 10, 1883. ] MEssRs. LEWIS & Co.,,
 Gentlemen:-I have suf- fered with Chills and Fever and Malaria for the past two years, residing during that time at 7so Chapel street, New Haven, Conn. I used 6 quinine in its various forms, and a great deal of it. 7 While l could prevent the chills I could not rid my system of the poison. For some time last summer I was so weak that I could sit up but very little. My countenance was swollen, and quinine failed to give me an appetite, or to act perceptibly as a tonic. In this condition I began the use of your Lewis Red Jacket Bitters. Immediately I felt their effects. In two weeks I was nearly in my usual hooltb I mead tUo hottlos since that time. Whenever I have 8 recurrence of mala- rial symptoms I use a few doses of the Bitters, and l certainly consider them 8 most valuable remedy. They are my medicine.
