IF pear trees are to be MANFRED this
season no tune should be lost. 1t is
better not to manure so late as this
where the ground is to be cultivated
during the Summer. Arank, immature
growth followed by blight will be the
almost certain result. But on sod
ground enough manure to mulch the
surface and partly keep down the grass
will be beneficial.

PRETTY devices for designating the
place certain guests shall take at the
table are employed by those happy
housewives who can devote time to the
poetry at home. One very pretty way
is to have an alphabet made of TIN,
have each letter about three inches
high and have the little tin forms deep
enough to hold q little sand or wet
moss. Then fill the forms with tiny
flowers and leaves. Another way,
though not SO easy to make, is to have
the form in the shape of a card. and on
the background of green put the guests
initial with small flowers.

DURING the long summer days, when
COWS fresh in milk have plenty of grass,
~theyscannot carry with ease the burden
of milk produced between early morning
and the usual time for milking at night.
Milking at noon is a good plan in such
cases, as it nearly equalizes the interven-
ing time. While the milk is in the bag
some of its fat is being constantly alb
sorbed by the COW. Hence frequent
milking produces a larger product OF
butter, but the COW needs all the heavi.
er feeding to stand such a demand IN
her milk producing capacity.

An ORCHARD FERTILIzER.-The best
fertilizer | have used for fruit trees is
made of chip-dirt from the wood-pile,
and old ashes. l mix in the proportion
of one bushel of the ashes to three of
the ehip-dIrt, stirring well with the
shovel. About two bushels of this mix
ture is to be spread around each young
tree, giving large, weIl-grown trees
more. The manure is applied at any
season. Do not pile around the tress
any litter or rubbish that would harbor
mice. In summer keep the weeds from
around the trees Experience has
taught me hat this fertilizer serves a
very important purpose, not only in
supplying the trees with suitable food,
but IN meIlowing the soil, and helping
on such crops as l may choose TO plant
in my orchard. 1t is an excellent ferti-
lizer for any crop. annual or perennial,
and the ashes (from hard wood supply
the trees with the element they most
need, and the soil lacks, namely, pot
ash.

HERE are some of the rules OF the
Redfeld (Me.) cheese factory: l.. Only
healthy cows give good milk. They
must never be heated, or IN any way
misused or unduly excited. 2. Regular
ity in the time of milking, and by the
same person, secures the best results.
Insist on cleanly habits in mixers.
Fllthiness is disastrous to both produ-
Ger and customer. 3. Do not feed your
cows whey, turnips, or cabbage; they
are always injurious to milk. 4, Only
tin pals are suitable to be used by
dairymen. All milk should be carefully
strained; doing so from the pail. through
a wire stralner is not sufficient; it should
be strained through cloth also, other
wise the whole will be injured. 8. There
cannot be too great care as to cleanli-
ness in handling milk. All pals and
cans should be kept absolutely clean.
6. Mixing of milk at different tempera-
lures should be carefully avoided. The
practice produces sour milk, and sour
milk produces sour patrons.

AGRICULTURE.

Peach ORcHAHDs.-The fruit buds OF
the peach are killed by the cold weather
through large portions of the several
States, and entirely throughout some.
Bat adverse occurrences may be often
turned to advantage, and among them
the destruction OF the peach buds. In
favorable years the trees are often, we
may say generally allowed to oYerbear.
Occasionally the branches are broken
with the heavyweight, and always the
fruit is much inferior in quality. The
over crop exhausts the vigor OF the
trees. and they are enfeebled for years,
Nothing besides good cultivation can
DO such trees more good than a years
rest. Owners should take advantage Of
the opportunity. They need not make
the common mistake OF stunning the
necessary pruning in abundant seasons,
because they cannot bear to lop oil
masses of fruit buds, They can now
shorten-in the branches and bring the
trees into a handsome shape. They can
thin out small slde-shoots wherever they
are growing too thickly. They Will
understand that this work is TO be done
early IN spring before the buds open,
although the peach suffers less than
some other fruit trees If the pruning
happens tn be done two or three days
after the swelling of the buds. Peach
orchards require the application OF yard
manure much less than most other fruit
trees, yet If the soil is quite poor and
the trees nave been stunted by over
bearing in previous years, a thin top.
dressing over the surface will lmpart
yipor TO the shoots and a darker green
to the leaves. On most soils top-dress-
ing of ashes IS a positive benefit.
Superphosphate is also beneficial on
many kinds of soil. But generally no
thing is equal to clean mellow,
shallow cultivation. Whatever may be
the soil, treatment and growth, the trees
should not be crowded together If free
dom from rot would be avoided, and
fine, ruddy, well ripened and delicious
fruit is an object. Some planters place
the trees twenty feet apart for this reas
on; but this distance is not necessary If
the branches are regularly shortened
in, and the trees kept in a sufficiently
compact and symetrical form. Now
that there is little fear of interfering
with the crop, the trees may be brought
into the best shape.
