the same may be said of fruit trees.
Planted close together they grow weakly
and are unproductive, while # standing
out alone they are productive and profit
able. One needs but to look at our large
apple orchards to be convinced. The
outside row of trees ali around the or<
chard is healthy, thrifty and productive,
and the trees produce more apples than
the other trees. The roots must feed and
have room for it.
We are satisfied 100 trees thus planted
Will yield as much profit as 200 or 800 set
In orchard form. Apple trees that lean
toward the east furnish complete and
convenient Judgment for the Larvae from
which the apple borer springs. The sum
mers suns and the winters winds and.
frost tend TO roughen the bark of the
trees on the westerly sides of the body
These impair the vitality of the tree
somewhat, possibly aided by bad pruning
or lack of pruning and good culture. A
perfectly straight and healthy, vigorous
apple tree is almost impervious to the,
borer.

The Farmers Paradise.
New York Times.

A man on his own farm, well cultivat-
ed and kept well stocked, with good
modern dwellings and barns and out
tied to no hours by calls of bells and
whistles, free to come and go according to
the necessities of none but himself, most
~ on his own fields, performing his labor
within sight of the smoke of his own
chimneys is surely as rich in the genuine
sense of that word as any man can be.
He has nothing to fear and nobody to en-
Wy. Of one thing he is sure all his days,
and that is sufficient living; and that is
what other men can never sure of without
a single pang of doubt or apprehension.
and inanimate machinery Of his estab-
lishment. and for the rest he looks in pro-
found trust to the bounty of heaven.
Instead of this unworthy and democrat
izing anxiety, to get rich, if the average
farmer, once being solidly established,
would resolve to enlarge and exalt his
life as it is to mBke more out of that, to
enjoy as much as possible of what there
is to be enjoyed, to adorn and beautify
his home only paradise on earth
within and without, he would find all his
daily tasks easier, even the extent of being
delightful: he would feel rich where now,
he feels all the time poor, and he would
rid himself of tyrant in the form of IN
creasing parsimony that holds his nose to
to the grind stone until he Is flung In his
grave. If farmers only knew 1t they
could be the richest men on earth.

FARM NOTES

A good animal should be heavy feed
If you want to raise stunts" keep the
calves In the pasture with the pigs.
Many farmers trust too much to luck
and the moon and do little close fgur-
ing.
Never drive a horse fast on full
stomach. Hurry by going slow the first
few minutes.
blockhead armed with shears and
pruning knife is as destructive in an or
chard as bull in a china store.
An Illinois farmer says the hot weather
Matched seventy chicks from eoos in
his haymow without any aid from his
hens.
Show US where lives the farmer who
make 1t rule to borrow tools, and we,
Will show you broken gates, lousy calves,
and dirty stables.
Ii the manger or feed box be so foul as,
to INIT sour smell from any cause. it
should be carefully cleansed and washed
with solution of soda or potash until
perfectly sweet again.
A man lately cured thoroughly a balkv
horse by simply hitching him in the
field and letting him stay where the load
was till he got hungry enough to pull
1T home. The horse held out thirty-six
hours.
All small apples and others defective in
form or damaged by worms have their
best market on the farm as food for ami
mails. If packed with sound fruit even
IN very small proportions, they will re-
duce the price of all even to the point of
loss.
The attempt to have a COW for butter
and beef is trying to make butter and
tallOw with the sam machine But it is
not the same machine in operation while
the COW is being fattened for beef and
while she is giving rich milk for butter
making?
Dr. j. Seweu, of Boulder, Col, Pro
fessor of the Colorado University, desires
those who have swine affected with chol-
era to send him few drops of blood
from such for examination. He has dis
covered a new microbe in every blood
speciman received, but has not found the
microbe in the blood of healthy hogs. He
is cultivating the micrObe in the blood ors
healthy hogs. He is cultivating the MI
crobe for purposes of incubation, an6l
believes his results will be of great i'm
portance.
In England, after land has been long
in clover, it refuses to produce this crop,
and becomes what is called ''clover sick.'F
What this is can not easily be decided.
It is probaly the exh austiOn of some
thing that is essential to the growth of
clover, and as this plant draws food from
the subsoil it would indicate exhaustion
of that also. English farm lands have

How to Cool a Cellar.
Scientific American.

A great mistake Is sometimes made in
ventilating cellars and milk houses. The
obiect of ventilation is to keep the eel
lars cool and dry, but this object often
fails of being accomplished by a com
mon mistake, and instead the cellar Is
made both warm and damp. A cool place
should never be ventilated, unless the air
admitted is cooler than the air within. or
is at least as cool as that or very little
warmer. The warmer the air the more
more moisture it holds in suspension.
Necessarily, the cooler the air the more
this moisture is condensed and precipi-
tated. When the cool cellar is aired on a
warm day the entering air, being In mo-
ton, appears cool: but as it fills the cell
lar the cooler air with which it becomes
mixed, chills 1t, the moisture is condensed
and a dew is deposited on the cold walls,
and may often be seen running down
them in streams. Then the cellar is damp
and soon becomes moldy. To avoid this
the windows should be opened at night,
and late-the last thing before retiring.
There is no need to fear that the night
air is unhealthful; it is as pure as the air
at midday, and is really drier. The cool
air enters the apartment during the night
and circulates through it. The windows
should be closed before sunrise in the
morning, and kept closed and shaded
through the day. If the air of the cellar
is damp it may be thoroughly dried by
placing in it peck of fresh lime in an
open box. A peck of lime will absorb
about seven pounds or more than three
quarts of water, and in this way cellar
or milk room may soon be dried, even in
the hottest weather.

Planting Trees.
Fruit Recorder.

For years we have noticed that apple
trees growing alone, or in one row along
the road or fence, would be exceedingly
thrifty and productive, while those in the
orchard on the same farms or soils would
prove unproductive and unthrifty. The
reason for this is the roots of the single
specimens have plenty of room. Sec that
great oak or maple standing out in the
field alone, or along the fence or road,
and compare the trees of the same age
and kind in the forest. II the one case
you have strong, spreading branches, pro-
ducing five to ten times the amount of
nuts of those in the forest. We believe

From Harper's Magazine.


When in the house the day is warm
And dogs lay stretched before the door,
Come ont TO my neglected farm,
And SIT Dpon the grassy floor.
Under the apple trees green roof,
Laced with the yellow light of morn,
Share DatuTes Joy without reproof,
Thor man who art to trouble born!
Alas! Ills said for price of gold
The ak shall hew these leafytowers;
The spade shall trample in the mold
This fra rant grass, these dewy flowers;
And WHEN this pleasure house is waste,
A mansion bnilt for earthly care,
Jor waiting days, and tiresome haste,
Shall lift a stately frcnt in air.
Then come. before the day declines,
And hear the bees among the boughs;
See where The early moon entwines
Her crescent in my bloomy house.
Perhaps before The spade shall wound
This turf, TO plant the cares of earth,
A smaller plot of turf be found
More green to tell our nobler birth.
Then hasten ere the day shall die,
And lay Thy heart to summers bliss,
And learn, whatever joys may fly,
TO know the peTInanence OF this.

FARM, HOME AND GARDEN
DAISIES ON THE FARM.
TEXAS SETTINGS.

She painted them on canvas
With rapt, artistic air,
She wore them in her bodice,
And in her raven hair
She thought farm life idylic,
And said its greatest charm
Was lent it by the daisies,
The daisies on the farm.
do you not loAe the daisies?n
To the farmers son she saith,
Bot all the praise he uttered
Was underneath his breath.
1t sounded energetic,
But she felt a vague alarm
That he did not love the daisies,
The daisies on the farm.
She read to him poem,
A pastoral complete;
He seemed unsTmpathetic,
Though her voice was very sweet
With some repressed emotion
His face grew dark and warm,
For its burden was the daisies,
The daisies on the rarm.
Soon the charming summer boarder
To her city home returned.
For her soul of higher longing.
Her aesthetic nature yearned.
And the farmers son, undaunted,
With his scythe upon his arm,
Went to battle with the daisies,
The daisies on the farm.

COST OF UNIVERSITY TRAINING.
Comparison Between English and German
Universities.
The Edinburgh Review.


An interesting comparison between
the relative cost in Germany and Eng
laod of a university caree, and some &C
count of the parentage of the students
Germany is, of course. very unlike Eng
| land. It will be sometime before pro-
ressors are as honored here as there
There is something to US inadequate in
life spent in passing the dust of some
obscure corner of science or history
through sieve after sieve. Our young
men of promise prefer the keen rivalry
of the learned professions or the chances
of literature or journalism or else they
go to the colonies to try their luck Or to
India as civil servants. But making every
allowance, if there is anything in numb
ers, we are more behind Germany than
we should be, considering our wealth and
the extent of our endowments. The pop
ulatiOn of Germany is about $4,000, that
of Great Britain and Ireland about 49,
| 100000. Germany has twenty-one uni
versities the United Kingdom thirt cen
or if University and Kings colleges and
the new colleges in the provinces and Ire
land "of university rank" are included
about the same number as Germany. B ut
! there is a want of system in our distri-
button, and the number of students is less
in proportion. In Germany university
! is as much matter of course III large
city or town hall in England. In Ger
many, again, there are probably $4,000,
| in England, Scotland, and Ireland there
can scarcely be more than 10000 students
And Scotland, for whatever reason, is the
only part of the United Kingdom in
which the love of learning has penetrated
! to the lower middle class as in Germany
| Here, for instance, is DR.. Conrads CLASH
fcation of the occupations and social
position of the fathers of the German
students" at Halle: II, professions; 2,
lower officers and elementary school
masters; 3, merchants, manufacturers
hote, keepers, landed proprietors, Off
GERS, apothecaries, fundholders 4, arti-
sans and peasants; 5, inferior servants
| and laborers." The number of inferior
servants and laborers'' is smaller prob
ably than in Scotlank, but that of the
