DR.. Gleason asserts that the best
remedy for bleeding at the nose Is the
vigoi GUS motion of the jaws, as IN the
act of chewing. In tho case Of a child,
wad Of paper should be inserted in
the mouth and the child instructed to
chew il hard. The motion of the jaws

No pruning at all is safer practice
than the putting a sharp knife into the
hands of an ignoramus. IL requires
skill and knowledge of varieties and
their pcculiaritieS, which few possess,
to prune apple and pear trees proper
ly. What would be good treatment
for ono variety would be ruinous to
others T. Herald.
The garden should be cut down TO
the smallest space consistent with fam
lily needs and then take good care Of it.
Thorough culture enables us to raise
more and better vegetables on small
lot than could he had from double the
surface neglected. So of seeds. One,
or at most two. uncxccptional varieties

The location Of maple tree has
much to do with the increase or de-
crease not only in the quantity but in
the quality Of its sap. Trees standilg
on low land, moist and having bla,k
mucky and rich soil, will run large
amount of watcry sap, having less tian
two per cent OF sugar, and that Of dark
quality. On the other hand, trees
standing on high, dry and lcdgy ground
will yield very sweet sap, having three
or four per cent. of sugar in it, and
will make a very white product. - Troy

The Indiana Farmer would add
the garden 10 woman's work. IT says
that the wives and daughters Of farm
ers have work enough to do without
taking part in the tilling of the soil,
with their general household duties,
the milk to take charge OF, and the
care Of the fowls. Still it is likely that
the women on most farms would de-
rive benefit by tending a flower, vcge-
table and fruit garden. II furnishes a
change Of occupation, and creates a
necessity for exercise in the open air
and sunshinc.
