Wrap the Trees.

The frequent damage to orchard
trees by mice and rabbits and also by
sheep thoughtlessly turned into or
chards to consume the weeds which
should have been turned under or to
eat down sprouts which should never
have been permitted to grow, may be
prevented very easily. AS the damage
once done can not be repaired, it is OF
the greatest importace that the trees,
especially the young ones, should be
protected at once! Fifty young trees
planted year ago by the writ

papers, one paper to each tree, around
the stem, and tied by three strings,
one at each end of the paper and one
in the middle. Not one tree has been

no further attention until after the
frost, when it is generally ripe
enough to harvest. The vines are dug
with pronged hoes, allowed to lie a few
days to dry, and then stacked in shed
to cure. In a fortnight or so they are
whipped from the vines, cleansed in a
tanning mill, and put into sacks for
market. The natural nuts are of a
very dark brown color with rough
shells, but they are made more at
tractive by being passed through the
fumes of burning sulphur, which
whitens them, and carried number Of

which polishes them by attrition.

Peanut Culture.

of the Southern States it is called pin

in all tropical countries, most extern

Africa, where immense quantities are
raised to supply the European market.
1t is largely cultivated in South Amer

is a very important crop. Two varieties
of the nut are recognized-th Virginia

Wealth in the Piney Woods.

A use at last has been found for pine
needles. They are manufactured into
pine straw bagging, to be used in bail
ing cotton, and it is thought the new
goods will eventually run out the jute
bagging heretofore used for that pur-
pose. The oil obtained from the green
needles pays the expense of manufact-
uring and it is thought that by the
spring of 1889 there will be at least ten
factories for the manufacture between

being expensive in winter. The warm

Never Buys Amy Thing.
They are forever shopping but never
purchasing. The clerk recognizes the
shopper the minute she steps over
the door sill. She wanders along with
nm air that shows she has been used to
shopping but not buying expeditions.
The first counter she comes to is a
handkerchief counter; she suddenly be-
comes very much interested in the
latest Eandkerchiefs; looks them all
over. and asks the clerk, who is trying
u attend to three or four customers at
once, the price of no less than a dozen,
then cody tells him she is only looking
around. She passes on to the umbrella
counter, and picks up gold-handled
umbrella and asks the clerk the price.
On oeing told the price she suddenly
discovers that it Is just like one she
ought there last year, but a little
cheaper. Then she begins to realize
what she has lost by not waiting. But
she seems to smooth her ruffied feeling
by trying in every way possible to ruff
lie the feelings OF the much-enduring
salesman. She passes on to the silk
counter and asks for samples of all the
new shades without the faintest idea OF
ever purchasing ayard. The clerk, out
wardly calm, answers her questions
and treats her courteously, while in
wardly he invokes a blessing on her
head. After dawdling around the
small-ware counter for about an hour,
she takes the elevator to the suit de-
pertinent, where she proceeds to in
spect leisurely all the latest gowns
and wraps. The old clerks are all
familiar with her maneuvers, and
