The influence of Grating.

Peter Henderson, in illustrating
how little the graft is influenced by
the stock, says if we take a graft
from the sourest crab apple, and in
sert it in the sweetest apple tree We
can find the shoot which grows
from the crab graft will ever remain
a crab, in no way affected by the
sweet apple stock on which it is
growing. The result will be the
same, with the sweet apple grated
on the sonr; the individuality viii
not be changed. Or, you may take
a young Seeding apple tree, graft
another into it, and then another
into the last growth, and so on with
many successive gratis, rubbing off
all the shoots that start below, the
last graft will hold its identity un-
changed. Or you may set hun
dred kinds of roses into bush
which has hundred branches, of
all different colors, forms and odors.
Each will hold its own character
for color, form and fragrance.

Orchard and Fruit Garden.

To many readers this month is
the end of winter, rather than the
beginning of spring, and may be
devoted to completing unfinished
winter work. Those who propose
planting, whether an orchard or but
a few trees, should lose no time In
sending their orders to nursery.
Look out for those glib-tongued tree
agents, who pretend TO represent
nursery in good repute, but fill
their orders with refuse stock, which
they buy wherever they can get 1t,
and label 1t to suit. In an orchard
to supply fruit for market, DO not
have too MANY kinds. For a near
market, early apples are likely to
be most profitable. An orchard TO
supply the family, should comprise
varities from the earliest, to those
that are the longest keepers. Land
for an orchard should be the best
on the farm, instead of the poorest.
Prepare it by manuring, plowing
and narrowing as soon as it can be
safely done. When nursery trees
arrive, do not be in a hurry to plant.
Heel in the trees, and take time to
plant carefully. Neglected peach
trees grow ill-shaped, with long
limbs which often break. If each
spring half or two-thirds the length
of the shoots of the former year is
cut away, the result will be a COM
pact head, with more and better
fruit. Prune large limbs on all
kinds of trees before the buds be-
gin to swell. Grapevines not prun-
ed last fall should be attended to at
once. Plant raspberries and black
berries as soon as the soil can be
worked. Grating is often done too
early, and the scions long exposed
to driving winds viii perish; wait
until the swelling of the buds. If
scions are not already secured cut
them before vegetation starts. APP
ply protection to the trees now. The
simplest is band of thick brown
paper, foot or more wide, tackled
around the trunk. On this paint a
band of pine tar, which should be
renewed if from any cause it does
not remain adhesive.-AmericGa Ag-
ricltifUrist.

A disease that is far too common
in horses is caused most frequently
by driving on working until over
heated and more or less exhausted,
and then allowing them to cool off
suddenly without rubbing dry. A
horse is driven hard several miles,
and then hitched to a post in the
open air in cold winter weather, and
perhaps forgotten by the driver, who
may be telling stories or smoking a
cigar by warm fire: the next morn
ing, if not sooner, it is noticed that
the animal has not eaten well, and
can scarcely move from the stall.
The lameness may chiefly be in one
limb, or more than one. DR.. Creisty,
in bis recent lecture before the Con-
necticut Board of Agriculture, said
that any case of founder can be cur
ed if taken within 80 hours OF the
attack. The first thing to do is to
place the horses feet in tubs of
warm water, then blanket heavily,
and get the animal thoroughly warm
all over. The lameness Is caused
by stagnation of the blood in the
feet, the result of being cooled too
rapidly after exhausting labor. The
warm water thins the blood vessels,
and favors increased circulation.
In very bad cases bleeding in the
foot may be necessary, though or
dinarily it may be dispensed with.
Knowing the cause of founder, it
will be seen that it is much easier to
prevent than to cure this disease af-
ter it becomes established. In the
first place, avoid very severe driving
and over-exhaustation; but if abuse
of this kind is unavoidable see to
it that the horse is not neglected at
the end of his journey. Drive into
warm shed or barn free from
draughts, and rub vigorously till
the animal is dried off. Give warm
water to drink, and cover with warm
blankets. In short treat the horse
Just as you would treat yourself un-
der like circumstances.

Assistant United States Treasurer
II. O. Graves tells funny story in
connection with the recent request
| Of gentleman who addressed let
ter to the hedepartment inclosing aslOO
confederate. bill which he desired to
exchange for currency, writes a
Washington correspondent A way
back in Mr.. Spinner's time a letter
was received from a man in Virgin
ia inclosing a $50 confederate note
and saying that as the United States
had captured all the assets of the
South it ought to be responsible for
It's Indebtedness also. l showed the
letter to Mr.. Spinner and asked him
what reply l should make. The
old gentleman, who was in a grouty
mood, testify replied: Oh, tell him
to 20 90 to h-l.n l concluded that
would be little too harsh, so l re-
piled with great show ofpoliteness
that as the powere which had issued
the note had returned to the place
of its inception,-viz., the internal
regions, he had better present it there
for payment. We thought this rath-
er a smart thing, and congratulated
ourselves that the fellow had been
pretty effeetuslly sat down upon for
his impudence. Several weeks pas
sed, and the matter was almost for
gotten, when one day a second letter
came from the same individual. He
apologized for bis delay in writing
and said be had Just returned from
a trip to the internal regions. He
was fortunate enough to find his sa-
tantic majesty seated OF his desk at
work. His majesty read the letter
and Immediately exclaimed "Old
Spinner's Endorsement is good here
for any amount" and straight-way
cashed the note.
Il showed this to Spinner also,
concluded Mr.. Graves, 'but he ham
ded it back, saying he couldn't see
any Joke about it, and that the mat
ter had better drop then and
there"

The Poor Tramp.

Not every man who is ragged,
homeless, penniless and friendless is
tramp in the usual acceptation of
the word. So many horrible crimes
have been committed by tramps,
that by the term tramp" we mean
wild beast bearing some resemb-
lance to human being, who goes
about like the spirit of evil. There
are men who have been made tramps
bv circumstances over which they
had no control, and who have not
the courage nor the desire to commit
the slightest wrong. Ttey are mere
ly walking about to save funeral ex-
penses. Life has no charms for
them. but they lack the courage to
commit suicide. Like Hamlet, they
prefer to ito bear the ills they have
rather than fly to Others that they
know not OF.
The other day an old fellow who
wore dingy blue scarf around his
neck, sat down in the sunshine with
his back against box. Everybody
seemed to be merry, and the boys
gathered around and made sport of
the old fellow.
"Say," called Miles Grider, when
did you get in ?"
Let me alone boys" replied the
old man.
He's going to shoot" said some
one; and the boys ran away.
"I'll fix him, remarked Miles, tax
ing several firecrackers from his
pocket. "I'll slip up and drop 'em
behind him."
IF he gets hold of you therell
be fun" said freckled faced young
ster with catfish mouth.
Think so, guinea eggs?" replied
Miles. We'll just see. | aint afraid
of him."
Miles crept up carefully, dropped
the fire cracker behind the old fellow
and ran away.
Then the boys laughed at Miles.
He's an old timer, sure enough, p"
declared Miles. 'Come let US all 60
up; he can't hurt US.
They approached. Mister, we
don't mean no HARM" said Miles
I'VE only wanted to have a little fun.
Mister" touching his arm, "we
didn't-My God, he's dead"
No be couldn't hurt then.-Opie

A Scrap OF Tartar History.

The remarkable workmanship
of the Tartars is proverbial. Their
favorite weapon is long, curved
cimetar, quite different from that of
the Turks. 1t is made of the finest
steel, richly alloyed with silver, and
a sword becomes an heirloom in a
family and descends to the first born
so long as the family exists. When
the last representative OF a race dies
his sword, which may have come
down to him from a hundred gener-
ations, is broken and buried with
him. The blades of the weapon,
which are beaten out on an onyx
stone anvil in the ancient Mogul
city Of Taztchintzy (the Holy Place.
are very thin, and the wonderful
feats performed with them are aston
ishing. 0Hce when Robo, the cous-
in of the great Mogul, was caught in
a rebellion, his execution was order
ed. The most skillful swordsman
of the empire was provided for the
beheading, and the great Mogul and
his court assembled to see il. For
second the keen Tartar blade fash
ed in the sunlight and then descend
ed upon the bare neck of Robo. who
stood upright to receive the stroke.
The sharp steel passed through the
vertebra, muscles and muscles of
the neck, but SO swift was the blow
and so keen the blade that the head
did not fall, but kept its exact posi-
ton, and not vital organ was dis
turbed. In surprise the Great Mo-
gul exclaimed: "What, Robo, art
thou not beheaded?n
MY lord, / am," replied Robo,
but SO long as i keep my balance
right my head will not fall off, The
Great Mogul was SO pleased with the
deftness of the executioner that he
ordered a bandage to be tied on, and
Robo speedily recovered. He after
ward became royal subject and was
made cashier of the empire, because,
as the Great Mogul remarked, He
knows that If he keeps his balances
right his head will not come off,
1t is one of those curious scraps of
history that are often overlooked

W ork of the Flames.

NEW YORK. March 27.-At half
past { o'clock this evening fire broke
out in a rickety two-story frame
structure running from No. 63 to 67
North Eleventh street Williamsburg.
The building was owned and occu-
pied by Traverse Storm as a glass
works. Owing to the fact that it
was constructed entirely of wood
and very dry, it burned with great
rapiditv, Illuminating the sky for a
great distance, and was soon reduc-
ed to ashes. The fremen gave all
their attention to the adjoining
buildings, used as storehouses. Two
firemen were severely injured by a
falling wall. The bursting of pot
of melted glass is understood to have
been the cause of the fire. The loss
will probably reach $4,000; partial.
ly insured $50 men are thrown out
of employment.

An Orchard Fertilizer.

The best fertilizer / have used for
fruit trees is made of chip dirt from
the wood pile, and old ashes. mix
in the proportion Of one bushel of
the ashes to three of the chip-dirt,
stirring well with the shovel. About
two bushels of this mixture is TO be
spread around each young tree, Civ
ing large, well-grown trees more.
The manure is applied at any sea-
son. Do not pile around the trees
any litter or rubbish that would
harbor mice. In summe- keep the
weeds from around the trees. Ex-
peTience has taught me that this fer
tilizer serves very important pur-
pose, not only in supplying the trees
with suitable food, but in mellowing
the soil, and helping on such crops
as | may choose to plant in my or
chard. 1t is an excellent fertilizer
for any crop, annual or perennial,
and the ashes from hard wood sup
ply the trees with the element they
most need, and the soil lacks, name
ly, potash.
1t is a pleasure to see how q young
orchard will thrive after an applica-
ton of this fertilizer. Sometimes |
burn logs TO get ashes for this pur-
pose, and if / have no chip dirt, / go
to a dead oak or hickory, and scrape
together the fallen bits of bark, and
the rich earth around the tree. 1t is
a very good substitute for the chip
dirt. II is obvious that this mater
ial is rich in the elements of food of
trees. / believe in keeping fruit
trees well fed. and that a large space
around each tree should begiven ex-
clusively to the tree from which to
draw its supplies. ] never plant
close to my trees, preferring to have
them branch low, and to trim down
rather than up.-B. w. Jones, in
