1t is not profitable to abandon piece of
land because it is not fertile. Raise sheep on
it, and endeavor TO bring it back to a condition
to admit of the growth of some kind of crop
which may be ploWed under. Sheep and the
turning under of green manurial crops will
restore any piece of land to fertility.
According to Matthew Crawford, in the
Ohio Farmer, an extensive apple grower in
Illinois is said to plant only half as far apart
as the trees should stand permanently, and
then he brings three fourths of them into bear
ing as soon as possible by girdling, letting them
produce all they Will until the permanent ones
need the room. The girdled trees are then cut
out and the Others have all needed space for
growth and productYeness.
- Many times young trees whose tops have
been Winter-killed can be saved by grating,
as frequently when the buds are killed the
circulation in the trunk is all right.
Nearly all the Experiment Stations have
demonstrated that hogs make greater gain on
whole corn than on cornmeal. This is also the
experience of nearly all farmers who have
given attention to the comparison.
There is nothing to prevent the growing
of trees for fence-posts. Pear trees grown on
the line intended for fence will not be in
jured if the staples for holding a wire are
driven into them. Such fence combines use-

Notes on NursinC.

1t should be kept in mind by all persons
nursing weak patients that the lowest tempe
nature of the body occurs at or about O'Clock
in the morning. AT this time the nurse
should be watchful, the fire should be kept
bright, and If necessary, extra cover should
be supplied. A very sick patient should be
carefully noted at this hour, and if he shows
any signs of exhaustion a stimulant should be
given.
There are many diseases where more de-
ponds upon tho conscientious care of the
nurse than the DOCTORS medicine. The idea
that the fever in diseases was increased by
food has long ago been abandoned by all in
tellgent practitioners. Life in such cases
often depends upon the careful administration
of stimulating nourishment. Thus the strength
of the patient is kept up till tho crisis of the
disease is past.
Absolute cleanliness is now considered nee
essary in all sickness, and frequent changing
Of the bedclotheS and the nightclothcs used
during sickness is part Of the duties pre-
scribed to q trained nurse. The old idea that
it was dangerous to put fresh clothing on a
sick person is abandoned. All the clothing
of the patient, and all the bedding of the bed,
is changed twice in the twenty-four hours
whenever it is possible to move tho patient.
The clothing and bedding of the night are
thus aired during the day, and that Of the
day during the night. Unless there is a very
short supply of bedding, the patient is not
allowed to use the day or night clothes and
sheets longer than twenty-four hours without
replacing them with clean ones. Exchange.

The custom of putting housemaids into
livery, which is common enough in England
is beginning to be adopted in New York
The costume or uniform consists of a
skirt Of dark livery cloth-biue, green or
brown-with plain front and broad plaits
ct the back; waistcoat of the same cloth,
with fine crOSswiSe lines of red braid and
n coat cut away i'll front and covering the
hips. Metal livery buttons are used on the
coat and waistcoat. A small white cap, stiff
white collar and cuffs and u white cravat
complete tho attire. A good looking maid
with good figure makes natty appearance
IN such u livery and is particularly useful in
households where only women servants are
employed to attend tho door and serve the
meals. Where there is butler, she is well
equipped to take the place of second man."

class everywhere, the customs and fashions

An editorial writer in The Christian Union
said lately in a talk with Business Boys"
1.-THE boy who will succeed in the world IS he
who is content for time to do two dollars
worth of work for dollar" Business girls
need to bind this precept upon heart and
hand. Determination to fulfill every obiiga-
ton thoroughly, in spirit and in letter, should
outrank the thought of the money TO be made
by this particular undertaking. First, ex-
celence of workmanship; then, what price
will 1t command. The girl who studies book
keeping or stenography as stop gap against
the tide of impecuniosity until she can wed a
bread and bonnet winner enacts the trite role
of the little HARLEM hero with his thumb in
the dixie leak.
She is like one who watches for the morn
ing, and, i'll proportion us her heart fails at
tho delay of dawn, interest in her occupation
declines. Judging by her standard of values
the business laid UNFORTUNATELY TO her hand
and the wedlocl that may come, we may we'll
remind her that faithfulness in that which is
least is the earnest of faithfulness in that
which is great The steadfast industry, the
discipline of speech and conduct, the concen-
tratlon Of thought and energy upon the mat
ter set before one for accomplishment, that
are essential to business prosperity, are the
best conceivable preparation for the high and
holy sphere Of wife, housekeeper and mother

Talk about the dangers of the amateur
stage, of cigarette smoking-they are as moth
ing compared TO the wickeolncSs of the first
class dressmalier. You are a nice looking
little woman, with a pretty figure, which
Tom has always liked TO see well dressed and
he thinks that if any woman does understand
the art of gowning it is you. AL your life
long you have bought your materials at
first class shop, taken them TO u fairly good
dressuaIer, paid reasonable price for the
making, suggested to the modiste a frill here,
a puff there, an artistic effect somewhere else,
asld when you wore tbs frock, it was with an
easy conscience and a happy heart, which
added to your good looks. Some day you
enter the parlor of Serpent, Cash q Co. sud
denly your pretty gown has a second rate
look. Mrs Serpent admires your figure; Mrs.
Cash means how unfortunate it is that you
are not dressed properly, and the company
sits behind the desk and grinS, knowing what
the outcome will be- You see u wondrous
gown, just from Paris, which is certain to
suit you. You are induced to try ii on, and
then you hear the price. You shudder at it,
You say you cannot get it; but oh! you do
look 50 handsome in it. You know Tom
cannot afford that money; you know that
usually you get three frocks for that
vsice Of the charmer is listened TO. You go
out of that house with the knowledge that
you are going to get that frock, for you have
been fitted for it, aud you are the most miser-
able slave in the world. Mrs Cash has told
you that you can pay $25 or $50 at time
on your BILL and get everything you want
there. Well, you begin ny paying your $25
or $50; you get more and more now clothes;
the bin does not come in for a year, and when
it does you gasp with terror. Coats were
sold to you that you were told would cost
nothing, and nothing, to Serpent, Cash &
Co., means anything from $50 to $3.50. Still,
you think that you can ralse few hundred
dollars, and that Tom may give you little
extra money without your telling him what
1t is for, and then you chirp up and remem-
Der that Mrs. Cash said you could pay a little
aca time, and, after all, it was just the bill
coming in. Poor little wretch! You have a
feeling at your heart all the time now as il
you were thief, and within a week YOU get
