planted into two. and-a-half-inch pots.
After they are we'll rooted they are
shifted into five-inch potts. in which
they remain until flower-buds appear,
when they are transplanted into ten
inch pots. or fruiting boxes. The side
of the plants on which the buds form is
turned to the south, or the sunlight. A
continuous supply of plants is kept up
by making a sowing every two weeks,
thus providing sufficient young plants
to replace those that cease fruiting.
The first sowing is made early in Sep
TENDER. The soil used for potting con-
sists of equal parts of common garden
soil and well-rotted stable manure.
Each plant is trained to a single
stem, by removing all lateral shoots as
soon as any appear. The stems are
trained to perpendicular strings
stretched from the pots to the roof of
the house. The pots are placed twenty
inches or two feet apart, so as to allow
free circulation of air around them and
to admit all the light and sunshine pos
sible. When the punches of fruit have
grown to the size of hens'-eggs each
bunch is supported by piece of mating
fastened against the main stem to pre-
vent the breaking of the fruit stems.
To insure sufficient dryness of the at
mosphere the elevation of the forcing
house should be not less than fifty
degrees. Dry air around the plants
is essential to success, else the pollen
will not develop sufficiently for complete
fertilization. In houses-where neither
tribution of pollen-each plant should
be tapped with padded stick once
day about noon, wien the air is dryest.
This will in some measure furnish
substitute for the natural means of scat
tering the pollen.-American Agricult-

laborious than to propagate from cut

In the latter case the plants require
much care and attention, so that they
root rapidly and receive no check in
their growth, else they become stunted

Thin ming apples.

The following advantages are given
by successful orchardist of thinning
the apples on heavy-bearing trees while
the fruit is small: You get rid of the
knotty and wormy apples before they
have grown long enough to occupy the
place of better ones. 2. You thus de-
stroy, before they can increase, the in
sects in such as are stung by the curculio
and infested by the codling worm. 3.
The best ones being left, they have
plenty of room 70 grow into large, fine,
salable specimens. l. You are not
obliged to gather twice as many small
ones, the labor of picking depending on
number and not ON size. S. The bad
ones are removed in time at less than
half the labor required for Manipulating
when they become large. 6. You avoid
much labor in asserting the gathered
crop, and in separating the scabby and
knurly from the best fruit. z. The
moderate crop which is allowed to grow
will exhaust the trees less than the
heavy crop of poor and seedy specimens.
He thinks that to allow all the poor and
worthless apples to grow is like the
practice Of the farmer who would permit
ali the coarse weeds to grow in his corn,
to be assorted from his grain after har-
vesting.

LIVESTOCK NOTES.

Do NOT pamper the stallion. Dom:
feed to fatten him. Feed oats and goo1
hay and give>him plenty of exercise.
HAVE nothing to do with a scrub
stallion. A stallion of that kind is NOT
worth enough to you to accept his serv'
ices for nothing.
If you have small mares use large
stations. A small horse is poor prop
erty. A horse may be too large for some
people, but nobody wants runt, except
as plaything for children.
WHAT will the new year show for beef
cattle? We can not answer. but we
hope for the best. It has seemed to us
for couple of years as if the day was
dawning on the cattle market, but the
night has hung on.
SOME of our exchanges arc roasting
the man who uses tobacco in the butter
room. Tobacco would make some men
whom we have seen about butter smell
really sweet. Be clean all over, is the
rule about the dairy.
KEEP the shoes on the horses in good
condition. When it is slippery be very
careful not to strain the horse. There is
no better plan to strain horse than to
drive him when one leg is slipping one
way and another some other way.
REMEMBER that stallion or any other
kind of sire can not transmit what is
neither in himself nor his ancestry.
The first thing to do when you have
made up your mind what kind of an ami
NAL you want is to find sirn like what
you want.

this reason we do not object to moder-
ate combing or scraping of the trees,
and the universal stree scraper," pict-
ure of which we here present, appears to
us like very good and desirable tool
for the purpose. Its action is not exces-
sively harsh or rough, and while it will be
effective in removing the dead scales,
