HERE AND THERE.

The orchard or garden that is we'll cared for will not prove a failure.
 It is very important in giving an application to destroy pests to repeat sufficiently often to make sure of the desired results.
 Leave the tobacco pipe outside of the milk room. Better leave the man who has been smoking it outside too. His absence will not injure the flavor of the butter bit.
 Because. the grass can be procured by the COWS now is no reason for emitting any portion of the food at the barn. The COW is producer, and the better she is fed the larger her yield of milk and butter.
 Loss of rest at night is as trying to animals as to humans, and especiall / to horses that have worked during the day. The windows should have mos- quitO-netting to protect against insects in the stables.
 Thinning with grapes can nearly always be made beneficial, as it is not a good plan to allow the vines to ma- ture too large a crop, while by thin ming the quality may be gradually im- proved.
 In watering plants, many times it will increase the growth materially if liquid manure is applied. One ad- vantage with manure in this condition is that more or less of it is soluable.
 If, in setting out the apple trees, the mistake has been made of setting the trees too thick, care should be taken to thin out, as this is one variety of fruit, at least, that will not bea crowding.
 Even in summer bedding should be provided in the stalls for all classes of stock that arc confined at night, as cleanliness is very important in the summer season. The less manure in the stall and stables the fewer flies and insects.
 Watch all young and tender plants for cutworms and potato beetles. The former works best on cool nights and the latter during the day. The beetle will eat young tomato and egg plants and destroy them in a short time.
 Green ducks are now in demand, and sell well. They should not weigh over seven pounds per pair, and should not be over ten weeks old. To bring the best prices they should be made very fat, and sold in the dressed condi- tiOn.
 Because fruits get low is not a sure indication that fruit is not profitable. With proper care fruit can be grown at mparatively a small expense; and while it is an item to secure the best prices, yet often fruit can be sold very low and gives the grower a fair profit.
 Be on the lookout now for the white caterpillars, as. they are the par ents of the cabbage worm. Kill every one of them, which is not difficult, as but few appear at a time. If all farm CTS in the neighborhOod will unite to do so a few seasons will greatly reduce them in number.
 -One years seeding requires seven years weeding. This fact should cer- tainly be remembered now and both iu the garden and orchard care be taken to allow no weeds to mature seeds. A few late weeds left to mature seeds will increase the work materially next year.
 Sweet potatoes will not thrive if the season is very damp. as they de- light in warm, dry soil. They should be we'll worked until the plants cover the hills. The cut-worm will do dam age on cool nights, and an examina- tion of the patch should be made every morning, as it may be necessary to re- plant.
 The work of properly harvesting the fruit crop is an important one and must be looked after. Because there is large yield is hardly sufficient reason for allowing any part to go to waste Better let the stock have part than allow it to lie on the ground and rot, breeding insects and disease,
