The Rural Home says that old trees
have no sap and vitality to waste on ex-
ira branches. Bearing trees want their
vigor encouraged. Don't be greedy
be content with good yield. Don't let
generous trees cripple themselves in your
service by overbearing.
There is no profit in cultivating
poor soils. Let the labor be expended
in fertilizinga smaller area SO as to pro-
duce abundant crops, and prosperity
will soon revisit the farmers and planta-

An intelligent farmer. who has

in bearing. In seasons when frost de-
stroys peach buds there is less spread of
yellows. though this may in part be due
to the greater vigor of trees that are mot
bearing crop of fruit.-N Y. Herald.
AS general thing, the summer
season through, horses can do moro
work than oxen, for this reason, II NO
Other-they can stand the heat better.
Both are important on a large farm. and
if the oxen are found to be worth the
most when age suspends labor, the horse
will have made up the difference by the
celebrity of his movements, and the more
diversified uses for which his labor has
been available. Both are good in their
places, and no extensive farmer is prop
erly equipped for business who is desti-
tute of either.-Rural Ne,0 Yorker.
