PRUNING PEACH q

Peach trees require pruning to
keep them in shape. The fruit is
borne on the ends of the limbs, and
if not pruned occasionally they inva-
riably get scraggy. When a non
bearing year occurs, the trees may
be generally shortened in. This will
allow for new and compact growth
and should be performed as early as
it is found the season will not be a
bearing one, or as early in the spring
as possible. If a portion Of the fruit
is killed prune back such portions
and early in the fall the balance Of
the tree may be pruned the succeed
ing year. Thus, by the exercise Of
Judgment, the trees may be kept in
good shape, and without seriously.
interfering with fruitful years. In
fact, not at all, for the fruit will be
larger and finer in every way. 1t is
allowing trees to be overloaded with
in~ferior-sized fruit that cuts off
profits.-Farm, Field and Stockman.

AGE OF SHEEP.N

Please give some reliable method
for learning the age of sheep.-MRs.
E. G.. B.
ANswER.-The age Of sheep is de-
termined by it's teeth.
At one month, eight front milk
teeth in lower jaw, and three tenn
porary grinders in each jaw, upper
and lower, OF twenty teeth in all.
At three months a permanent
grinder is added to the three tempo
rary grinders in each jaw.
At nine months an additional or
second permanent grinder appears
in each jaw.
At fourteen months the, two mid
die milk teeth (incisors) are shed
and permanent grinders appear.
At. eighteen months the third per
manent grinders appear.
At twenty-one months two more
permanent incisors appear.
At twenty-seven months the tenn
porary grinders are shed, and per-
manent one take their place.
At thirty months there I six
permanent incisors.
At thirty-six to forty-two months
there are eight permanent incisors;
that is, all the temporary teeth have
been shed and replaced by perma-
nent ones, and the sheep is said to
be "full mouthed." In some of the
early maturing breeds, like the
Cotswold, it is said that animals
often become "full mouthed" six
months earlier than the time given
above. A full-mouthed sheep is
regarded as full grown. A lamb is
regarded as becoming a sheep when
it has two permanent i~ncisors or
when it is fourteen months Old

every one of these doors creaks SO
horribly that IL almost sets me wild, p"
exclaimed tired housekeeper who was
trying to rest little after the labors Of
q wearisome day. Now this was not
the first, perhaps It was the twentieth,
time she had made the same, or a SINH
lar remark, about the creaking of the
doors, when with the aid Of bottle of
oil and feather, she might have made
them swing noiselessly, and saved her
self all the annoyance she had suffered.
IL is n great deal easier TO make sug-
gestions, than to follow them; but Il
seems to me that the golden rule" for
housekeepers might be this; "If any
thing goes wrong for which there Is s
remedy, apply it as soon rs possible; II
there is absolutely no remedy do not
fret, but make the best of It."
believe that often Il is not the work
that makes us feel so thoroughly weary
at the end of the week, as worrying
over Il. l remember Of fretting a good
deal over some Thanksgiving pies,
complaining that l always spoiled
them by putting in too much Of one
thing or another, when my sister
quietly remarked that perhaps | put
too much anxiety into them. l saw
the point, and resolved henceforth to
do the best | could with my cooking
and to worry less over results. OF
course had afterwards better success
and far more peace of mind.
There are days in the experience OF
every housekeeper when every thing
seems determined to go wrong, and a
perfect avalanche Of little troubles and
perplexties seem TO overwhelm one.
Then indeed is she that ruleth her
spirit "better than he that taketh a
city,"
But how often at the close of such a
day have we looked back and seen that
ali came right at last in spite of our
forebodings, and we have wished so
much that we could have been self
controlled and sweet-tempered through
1t all.
IL Is so natural to magnify little
troubles instead Of remembering that
they are not worth fretting about. II
at breakfast the biscuits are little too
yellow, and the steak triile overdone,
in almost every case no one will be
troubled about it il you are not.
II the coffee is not just exactly right,
no one will notice it unless You call at
tention to it, by some disparaging re-
mark. Especially should we guard
against n habit Of fretting because OF
the discomfort it causes those about us,
and the bad influence it has upon them.
II the housekeeper frets the children do
the same, and the servants also, for
nothing is more contagious, and we
have any thing but happy household.
However badly things may go, nothing
is gained by worrying over them, and
if we can not be always bright and
cheerful, - can at least endure
patiently till lie storm passes over and
the sunshine returns, as It surely will
in due time.-MdrioR ReyburHe, IN
