L1cs of Life is in favor of invalids

in about the same temperature tha

that persons confined largely TO the
house during the day make mistake In
sleeping in rooms absolutely cold a
night.
To give 3 delicious favor to lamb

With a COW, the more you take from
her in tine way of milk, within reason
able limits, the more she will yield,
while if you forbear to take from her ali
that she has secreted her secretion OF
milk will diminish until her secretory
organs will entirely cease to act. Hence.
we see the importance of keeping cows
in full milk as long as possible alter the
birth of every calf.
While have been very reluctantly
forced to the conclusion that il is not
practicable to raise plants or trees on n
large enough scale to materially in
crease our crops of honey, think il
probable that we can increase the
growth OF igwort, sweet clover, etc, in
waste places in our neighborhoods,
enough to keep the bees at least partly
employed during what would otherwise
be seasons of almost absolute dearth of
honev-producing plants. No expert
enced bee-keeper needs to be told the
advantages OF this, even if little or no
surplus honey should be gathered ct
these tines.
An experienced horticulturist lately
said that the greatest obstacle TO rose
culture is insects. Nothing but eternal
vigilance will overcome il. He advised
to save all the soapsuds made IN the
house, and give a bath two or three
times 4 week to the rose bushes. He
did not approve of the use of whale oil
soap. One of the worst insect enemies
of the rose is beetle, which cuts the
foliage at night. and can only be de-
stroyed by hand picking. Another cul-
turist keeps insects from his roses by
dredging the bushes with bellebone
early in the morning, before the buds
form, which kills the Hrst insects that
come; then again before the bloom, and
after blooming. These three applic.-
lions are sufficient.
It Is difficult for the novice to see the
of giving bis plants and
trees plenty OF room In planting. he
out his ground. perhaps. With an
ordinary corn marker. and as he sets
his raspberries and blackberries in these
rows, IL appears to him that three feet
and oRe-kaif may be ample space. He
Is not able to look forward in his imsg-
nation to the time when each black
berry and raspberry row will cover an
.xpanse Of four or FIVE feet, thus de-
seven or eight feet space be
tween the rows. 1t is the same with
grapes. and with fruit trees generally,
most beginners planting the e too close
" together. When / began fruit grow
ng made the same blunders. re
in planting black raspberries
seven feet apart. il seemed to me that
there was too much waste ground be-
tween the rows. and having some pear
stock which desired to feed foolishly
planted them.between the rows of rasp-
berries. All went very well the first
year, but the second i could scarcely
see my pear seedlings. BY great per-
in shortening in the raspber-
ries. | succeeded in getting fair stand
Of pears. but it was foolish operation.
The wiser course would have been to
leave the vacant row between the
raspberries implanted, or plant TO early
potatoes or 4 similar crop.-Ameriean
