AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Preparing Trees for Planting.

Professor Maynard of the Massachu-
sets Agricultural College, advises that
trees be prepared for Planting by cutting
the top back in proportion to the amount
OF injury done tothe roots, which is gen
orally from one-half to thirds of the
entire top. On this pruning all shoots
should be entirely cut away that.are not
needed for the formation of perfect
head, and the others cut back one-half
to two-thirds of their length. If the
head is not formed high enough upon
the trunk it may often be carried higher
by cutting off all lateral shoots, leaving
the most central one for leader upon
which will be formed the new head
several inches higher than the first. All
injured roots should have the ends cut
smooth with sharp knife, and with
small fruits, like the grape, currant, and
strawberry, it is often desirable to cut
back sumo of the larger ones.

A New Cement.

The restoration of some of the most i'm.
portant stone structures in Paris, such as
the colonnade of the Louvre, Of the Pont
Nel and of the Conservatoire des Arts
hetiers, has been mainly accomplished
- means of "a metallic cement invented
by Ptof. Bruno. 1t consists of a powder
and a liquid, the first composed of two
parts by weight of oxide of zinc, two of
crushed limestone of hard nature, and
one of crushed grit, the whole intimately
mixed and ground, ochre in suitable pro-
portions being added as coloring mat
ter; the liquid employed consists of a
saturated solution of zinc in commercial
hydrochloric acid, 70 which IS added a
part, by weight, of hydro-chlorate of
ammonia, equal to one-sixth that of the
dissolved zinc, and this liquid is diluted
with two thirds of its bulk of water. In
using the cement, one pound of the pow
der is mixed with two and one half pintt
of the liquid. The cement hardens very
quickly, and is of great strength.

Crows and Sparrows. Fight.

A fight between about 100 crows and
perhaps 200 or 800 English sparrows was
witnessed at Cumminsville, Ohio, Just
before sundown, a short time ago The
crows were returning to their rookery
from feeding, when they were attacked
by the sparrows. -Four or five of the
latter would get after one crow and
pick it so badly as to almost disable it.
In fact three or four fell to the ground,
being so badly injured as to be unable to
fly. The fight resulted in the complete
rout Of the crows. One Of them picked
up was found to have both its eyes
literally picked out.

HOW TO GET TO SLEEP.
A Remedy Proposed For Very Trouble
so.na niffi.ulty

The most celebrated and perhaps the
most efflcaclous method of procuring sleep
that has been devised was originated by a
Mr.. Gardner who, amongst other things,
had remedies for many evils, such as allav-
ing thirst, where no liquid element could
be procured, for improving the eyesight by
various ingeniously contrived glasses, and
for appeasing hunger. His sleeplessnes,
however-resulting from a severe spine in
jury in being thrown from chaise-had
been almost intolerable for years, until he
discovered a means, which never afterward
failed him of commanding sleep at will.
The discovery caused some stir at the time,
and many eminent persons adopted it and
gave testimonials as to its efficacy. Now.
however, that it has dropped almost out of
existence ii may be boon to have its
formula reproduced The sufferer who
has wooed sleep in vain is, according to Mr..
Gardner, to lie on the right side, with his
head comfortable placed on the pillow,
having the neck straight so that respira-
ton may not be impeded The lips are
then to be closed slightly, and rather full
inspiration taken, breathing through the
nostrils as much as possible. The full in
spiration taken, the lungs are to be left to
their own action. Attention must now be
fixed upon the respiration. The person
must imagine that he sees the breath pass
ing from his nostrils in a continuous
stream, and at the instant he brings his
mind to conceive this apart from all other
| ideas, consciousness leaves him-or at least
so says the recipe-and he falls asleep. If
| this method does not at once succeed. it is
to be persevered in, and, fproperly carried
| out, is believed to be infallible. Il is
founded on the principle that monotony,
or the influence on the mind of single
idea, induces slumber and, as such, is but
another form of different methods which
are familiar TO great many.
| Sir Thomas Brown found it a most eff
fectual soporlfic to repeat some verses on
which the well-known Evening Hymn was
founded. Rabelais tells us of some monks
who, when wakeful, resolutely set them
selves to prayer, and who, before they had
| concluded half dozen aves or paternos-
tiers, fell asleep. Franklin took his air
| bath; Sir John Sinclair counted. whilst
Sir John Rennie, when engaged on public
works, never went to sleep without pre-
vlously having his hair combed at the
back of his head with fine tooth comb
and rubbed gently with the palm of the
hand. Combing the hair, brushing the
forehead with soft shaving brush, or
tanning, all are good as sleep inducers,
and might well be tried on sleepless chill
dren, although perhaps the Spanish prac-
tice of getting babies 10 sleep by rubbing
the space between the cervical and lumbar
vertebrae-that is, between the neck and
the waist-with the hand, as it is reputed
never to have failed, would be shorter

There is much obscurity as to the cir
cumstances under which the thistle was
adopted as its emblem by the Scottish ma
tion, but the following is a tradition
Queen Scotia had led her troops in we'll
fought field, and, when the day was won
retired to the rear to rest from her tolls.
She threw herself upon the ground, when,
as i'll luck would have it, an envious
thistle had elected to grow at the very
spot selected for her repose. Whether the
fair Amazon fought in the national cos
tune / know not, but the spines of the
offending herb were sufficiently powerful
to penetrate the skin in very painful
manner. A proverbial philosopher mot
Mr.. Upper, think has declared that
he that sitteth on nettles riseth up
quickly" and the same remark holds good
of thistles. Queen Scotia sprang up and
tore the thistle up by the roots. She was
about to cast it from her with military,
but unladylike expression, when it struck
her that the prickly plant would hence
forth be ever associated in her mind with
the glorious victory which she had Just
gained. Her intention was changed. She
placed the thistle in her casque, and it be-
came the badge of her dynasty. and

a Woman's Trick.

A young man who is a clerk in 4 down
town Office went into a restaurant on Full
ton street the other day for his lunch. 1t
was past the usual hour, and only two or
three tables were occupied. He ordered a
substantial lunch, and had Just begun to
enjoy it when pretty and nicely-dressed
lady came in and sat down at the same
table. He was surprised at first, as there
were so many vacant tables, but was rather
pulled up withal, as he is a good-looking
fellow, and knows. The lady's lunch was
simple-a plate of raw oysters. She ate
them quickly and was soon gone.
A few moments after he went to the
cashiers desk. He put down his check
with the money, but was overcome with
establishment when the cashier told him
his wife had said he would pay for her
oysters.
My wifer' he exclaimed. "Bless my
soul, man, Pm bachelor"
The lady who ate her lunch with you
said you were her husband and would pay
for it. She couldn't wait for you, as she
was going up town to shop" said the
cashier.
A sudden inspiration seized the young
man. He thought it was better to pay
than to discuss the subject. So he put
down thirty cents for the oysters and
passed out into the street to mediate on
his remarkable experience-New York Sun.
