Soft Soap for Fruit Trees.

If one has an old orchard, the
trunks aud lar ger branches cover
ed with loose bark on which MOSES
and lichens find a fOO,bold, and
which afford a hiding place for
numerous injurious insects IN
various states of development, the
first thing to be done Is to scrape
oil all the loose scales Of bark
Use a moderately dull hOe-a sharp
one might injure the bark; one
with a sh ort handle will allow the
lower branches TO be reached. Use
the homemade soft soap, dilute 1t
with hot W alter, stir it well until it
is thin enough to apply with a
small whIte.wash brush. Put
plenty of it on the trunks and the
larger branches. One should en-
deayOr TO apply tue soap very cary
in the spring, so that it may not
dry up at once, but be grad ually
washed off by the rams that usually
occur at this season. When the
trees have had a thorough wash
ing, the bark will present a beau
tlful, sm Doth appearance that viii
amply repay one for the trouble
For removing the green growth on
the outside of fower-pOts, this soap
is excellent; it has also been
recommen ded as a vehicle to apply
kerosene for aphldes or plant lice
and other insects. One pint of
soft soap IS mixed with half a pint
OF kerosene. Nix thoroughly, add
to seven or eight gallons of water,
and apply with a syringe. This

FEEDING FARM HORSES.


A veterinary surgeon recon-
mends that those who have charge
of horses especially farm horses, be
taught that the stomach OF a horse
is not like the stomach Of a COW,
mere receptacle for food, but an
e ssential organ of digestion OF
limited capacity, which does not
need to be crammed in order to
perform its proper functions, and
that it cannot be so treated with
out danger to the animal that the
teeth of the horse are provided
for the purpose of ma sticating the
food and that food which does not
require masticatlon should be
spariDgly, If ev er, used. He further
recommends that no horse be put
to work Immediately after a full
meal, and where a hor Sc has done
a heavy da,'s work it should be al
lowed to stand in the stable until
il is cool and comfortable before
h eng ted. A little water may DO
given, and if little good hay be
put into the rack it will occupy his
attention and besides requiring
proper masticatiOn will further
have the effect to slightly stimulate
the stomach to secretion and pre-
pare it for the reception OF the feed
which is TO follow. Should a bOrse
require more food than usual to
supply the extra waste of tissues
caused by hard work give 1t by all
means, but let it be in excess IN It's
albuminoids or nutritious constltu-
ents and let the horse be fed
cftener and not in increased guam
titles at time.

How 10 Avoid Pneumonia.

The best possible cure for pneu-
msnia is the ounce OF prevention.
Nasal distractions and enlarged
tonsils should receive immediate
attention and radical treatment
when necessary. The nose has
within its channels elements for
clearing the air of foreign PARTICLES
and warming 1t for the lungs. Any
nasal occlusion cOmpels the air to
be taken in by the mOuth-a most
perDicious habit that of necessity
Affects the general health, causing
narrowing Of the chest, premature
decay of the teeth, and limits the
air supply and lung capacity
Whoever breatbes through the
mouth invites pneumonia. 1t is Of
the greatest importance that every
inch of lung tissue should be IN a
relatively perfect condition. The
sum Of all the little spaces where
air meets the blood is equal to the
enormous area of 80 square yards
Each breath may be bringing in
from the external atmosphere all
manner of deleterious material
seeking some weak spot to gain a
foothold. This weak place cannot
exist without danger to health
The entire blood current comes to
the lungs TO obtain from the outside
world the life giving principle
This $50 square yards Of tissue re-
quires a supply of pure oxygen
over 1000 times every hour. When
children play, race and rOmp, the
lungs are filled in every part
and this very exercise OF
filling them strengt h e n S
their substance. Brisk walking,
with deep inspirations and the
mouth closed, helps to sweep out
the products of waste. Every.
thing that expands the chest, as
tennis, bowling, rowing, fencing,
&c, is an antidote to possible pneu-
monla.-Medicdt Classics.

Death by electricity being now

EARN and HOUSEHOLD.
THE ORCHARDS.

During this month some at
tention should be given to the
orchards. Briers, vines, and bushes
should be cut away from around
the bodies of the trees, and the
litter and turf removed, that there
be no harbor for insects. Old trees
should have the moss and dead
bark scraped off from the bodies
and larger branches. This, besides
giving the trees a better appear
ance, breaks up and destroys hosts
of insects that would remain to in'
lure the fruit.
Dead wood and branches should
be cut away, and the trees put into
as good shape as possible under
the acknowledgement surplus
live wood may be also removed
We are no advocate of excessive
pruning Off nit trees. The less you
can wound a tree with knife or
saw, the better it is for the tree.
Many an orchard is ruined by too
severe pruning. Better let too
many branches grow than to cut
away one unnecessarily. Large
wounds ought always to be avoid
ed. Every such spot is a resting
place for decay, that sooner or
later destroys both vitality aud
usefulness together. a little care
iul cutting out of small limbs
yearly with a pocket knife, is all
the pruning a tree should ever
receive.
Black and fungous knots on
trees should be washed with soft
soap and fish oil. The outer
branches within reach may nov be
examined for the eggs OF the tent
caterpillar. They will be found IN
a circle around the small stems.
Do not forget, while you are
about 1t, that the orchard needs a
good deal Of potash, and that ashes
il the article to supply It. Apply
from a peck to a bushel of wood or
coal ashes around under each tree
about where the small roots are
supposed to reach. Mari is excel
lent for orchard trees. Stable
manure also and cOmpOsts on thin
soil, but not on rich ground. Ex-
cesslve wood growth needs mineral
manures to correct it.-PetersJurg

Planting and CuItIvating of Corn,

The time tor corn planting varies
with the latitude and also depends
much upon the weather. As soon
as the days are mlId and the ground
warm is a safe rule, whenever that
may be, in all localities. Three
conditions are essential 70 the pro-
duction of paying crop of corn,
namely good seed, a rich triable
soil and thorough tlllage. Pro
gressiye farmers have demonstrat-
ed the economy of a thorough
preparation of the soil for the
seed 4; indeed not a few of our most
successful growers advocate and
pratice, as best and easiest, the
cultivation previous to plant
ing that IS to say, they do not use
a pillow after planting, but let all
the deep culture Of the soil precede
il.
Where manure Is required the
better way is to spread it broad
cas-: aud pillow it in, If coarse, or
harrow IT, if well pulyerized and
decomposed. When manure is
thoroughly incorporated in the
soil, the roots Of the plants are
certain to take it up, and the de-
veIopment of the ear and grain
will correspond with that of stalk
and leaves, which is not the case
when a limited amount Of fertilizer
Is placed 10 hill or drill only. To
gain the best results from the en-
plOyment OF stimulating elements
in hill or drill, available plant food
must be near at hand and in suit
