Whitewashing Fruit Trees.

There is no way in which you
can improve the condition OF your
fruit trees of every kind with so
littIe outlay of time and expenses
as by giving them every spring a
good coat of fresh made whitewash,
with the addition of some kero-
sene or carbolic acid. BY this
means, the Larvae of depredatlng
insects will be destroyed and the
bark of the trees be made smooth
and healthy. The trial will not be
extensive. We recommend it
from long and satisfactory expe-
rience. If the glazing white color
is Objectionable, a little lampbIack
added TO the wash will make it a
,irab or lead color and not dimin-
jsh its usefulness.

People Who Whine.
From the Elmira Gazette.

From the Elmra Gazette.
81 think the most miserable men
or women in the world are those
who get in the habit of whining"
said a philosophical gentleman.-
"They not only make themselves
miserable but every one with whom
they come in contact. It's a habit
and very bad one. The worst OF
it is the winners do not realize that
they are nuisances or that they
have fallen into such ways. ! think
there are more whining women than
men, because among the latter sex
the sniyelers very often run against
expressions concerning themselves
that open their eyes very suddenly.
But when woman falls into the
habit she generally whines all her
days"

PERMANENT PASTURES.

Numbered with the many excel.
lent papers read at the New York
institutes meetings this winter was
one by Mr.. Gold, of Connecticut, on
"Treatment OF Permanent Pas.
lures" In this paper Mr.. Gold
called attention to the important
fact that the way in which pastures
are fed, whether closely or other
wise, has much to do with their
permanence in value. it is posi-
bic to feed a pasture so closely as
to dwarf the grass roots and kill
the large growing species. Too
light stocking tavors the growth of
coarse and useless vegetation, chok-
ing out sweeter and richer grasses.
Dairy cows, unless fed some gram,
inpOverish pasture more than
young stock or fatteniug ANIMALS.
The fields are apt to be too flush in
June and too bare IN August
Rather than these extremes, feed
some grain OF sowed corn in the
scant season and do not allow pas
lures to run into seed in June
Pasture is often benefited by a
change of the live stock kept upon
it. Sheep will eat and destroy the
white daisy and wild carrot. The
tread OF sheep has a marvellous in-
tluence on the physical condition OF
certain light lands. Horses may
be proftably changed around with
cattle consuming much rank growth
that is refused by neat stock
Young cattle may be advantage
ously pastured in connection with
dairy cows, which have a habit OF
spending their time about the en-
trance to the pasture. 1t is we'll to
have trees in the more elevated
parts, thus encouraging the ami
mails to leave their drOppings where
they are most needed.
For a real permanent pasture we
must cherish and retain the very
best grasses that are fitted to the
soil, the climate and the treatment
our pastures receive. Sometimes
blowing and reseeding is the only
resort. But consider other RENE
dies first. Cut the bushes, trees
and destroy such weeds as can be
banished without blowing. Drain
and irrigate. Dress with bone or
ashes, and do not expect very sud
den Improvement.

A Boy NEEDS A TRADE.

What about a boy who does not
take up with trade or a profes-
sion? Look around you and the
question is speedily answered. He
must cast his hook into any sort of
pond and take such fish as may
easily be caught. He is a sort of
tramp. He may work in the brick
yard to-day, and in the harvest
field to morrow. He does the
drudgery and gets the pay of the
drudge. His wages are so small
that he finds it impossible to lay
up a dollar, and fortnight of idle
ness will see him dead broke.

"Because nobody had interest

trade and earned good wages, but

And now, my boys, if men tell
you that the trades are crowded,

blacksmiths and painters and shoe
makers and other trades keep
wages down, pay no attention to
such talk. Compare the wages of

Take the trade which you seem

mination to learn it thoroughly,
