8 RuZyard in a shirt.

Jerry is tho name of little boy who lives
three miles in the country on the Greensferry
road.
Like other boys Jerry is willing to do almost
anything for q little fun.
Last week he found a dead sheep, around
which a number Of buzzards were holding
high carnival.
He determined upon catching one of the
buzzards and at once built a very large trap.
He baited it with the dead sheep, and in a
very short time he had captured a buzzard.
He then stole one of his shirts out Of the
house and fitted it on the buzzard, cuttingo off
the sleeves and putting the birds wings
through the armholes. He then cut off the
front tail OF the shirt and sewed the garment
firmly to the buzzard's body, after which he
liberated the bird. With a kissing noise the
filthy bird tapped his wings and flew up into
the air, the tail of the shirt futtering behind
him as he few.
About twenty-five crows took after the
strange looking object, and the buzzard was
locked and knocked about at a terrible rate.
Three or four days afterward jerry found
the buzzard a mile away huddled up against
u tree, dead.
When wash day came jerry was called upon
for his shirt, and the story leaked out. His
father was so much amused that he would
not allow the boys mother to whip him.

first years trade amounted to S2S,0e0 and a
dividend of two and a half per cent
declared. Last year sec, 900 was received and
I per cent. declared. SO far this year tho
business has been larger than ever before.
Thus a large trade has been established, and
merchandise Of various kinds secured at
prices lower than the market rates.
In addition to the merchandise business,
the enterprise has proved a godsend to the
farmers in way of shipments. In the town
of Hammontown, twenty years ago, farmers
had to avoid raising a too large crop OF ber-
ries. or a large part would perish for want of
A market. When the union started a market
was created, and the business grew. Tn
present year Q, 1853, 239 quarts of ~blackbcrries
were marketed. In one week 367 900 quarts
of strawberries and in two weeks 267 900
quarts of raspberries were shipped. One
farmer from forty acres of blackberries
marketed about &C, 900 quarts. If the farmers
in the south and other sections of our our
try would form similar cooperative societies
they could secure low rates and be guaran-
teed better accommodations by railroad and
steamship lines, and find a ready sale for
their produce. The fruit crop is one that is
especially adapted to being handled through
cooperative exchanges.

II not already attended to, it should be
borne in mind that a good supply Of soil will
be necessary for next years operations in
the rose houses, and that now is the time TO
secure it, for when stacked up at this season
and allowed to remain until needed for use
next June or July, it will be found in the best
condition for working. The soil, for this
purpose, should be a good loan OF medium
consistency, such as is usually found in an
old pasture, from which a layer may be
taken about as thick as a spade will cut, III
Guiding the sod. By medium consistency Is
meant a loan, not very sandy, nor yet en-
tirely composed Of clay. When it is too still
it requires more preparation to fit it for
successful rose culture, and, also, more care
full applications OF water and OF fertilizers.
The sod for this supply should be stacked up
in a neat pile, about four feet in height, with
some good, short stable manure, in the pro-
protion of one load to six of sod, the latter
being placed grass side down, so as to assist
the process Of d~isintegration. Rose growers
differ as to the best to use for this
purpose; but probablya majority are in favor
of using that composed of equal parts Of
horse and COW manure, besides which, many
add a small proportion OF good bone-meal to
the compost, before taking it into the rose
houses.
