Expense of Eve gree

Expense is urged as an objection tc
raising evergreens. Il might have been
urged as such years ago, but the skill Of
pr1pagating this class Of trees mas become
great, and it Is more generally known
how to grow them from the seed. This
has chedpened them and brought the
planting of eyergreens within the reach
Of everyone who has any hold on the soil.
TIE price of hundred evergreens ten years
age will now buy a thousand. The
Younger they are bought the cheaper they
are. All Anticipated to the contrary not
withstanding, there is no easier, nicer,
more satisfactory and inexpensive work
than transpIantiug young ever green's. All
cost In evergreens now is time and labor
in trausplanting and transportation if got
ten from distance. ana the list of grow
ers now show that these have been re-
duced TO a minimum. At prices which
growers offer them now anyone having
any enthusiasm or inclination toward
tree planting should not ignore ever
greens.

Butt er Milk for Horses.

The Christian Intelligencer is authority
for the statement that a dairyman in Eng.
land has been giving his horses butter.
milk to drink instead of water. Each
horse gets his ration daily throug the
year, and the system having been con-
tinued Tor eighteen months and found to
answer in a most satisfactory manner, it
is not likely to be abandoned. There can
be no doubt, a contemporary remarks,
that the valuable solids in the buttermilk
do the animal Il very good deal of good,
and prevent the necessity of such large
corn feeding as some practice, while there
is at all times healthy smack about the
article which leads many people to use it.
There is no doubt that buttermilk is good
for horses. In the United States it goes
to make pork, and also sometimes to sober
up old topers. Also, according to an
Irish adage, "buttermilk and praties
make strong men.

In mans aspiring soul she yearns and strives,
And through his cunning hand her craft con-

Out Of Earth'S breast her vast cathedrals came.

rejecting upon.
He did not believe in the loose Gus ton
OF the young men of to-day of changing
his boarding place often. for he boarded in
cne family continuously for sixty years,
and slept In one room throughout the
whole time. He was stranger to arsenic
poison, for he had discarded wall paper as
foolish luxury.
He always slept in cold roou and
opened the window literally before retir-
ing, without regard to the temperature.
He was true to the modest candle Of his
torefathers, believing that gas. electric
light, and other artificial schemes of iIluni-
nation were destructive TO the ewes. Up to
the time of his death he could read fine
print without glasses. In fact a pair of
glasses never sat on his nose
He never wore piece of underclothing OF
any kind in all his life, nor anything
around his neck; nor did he ever wear an
overcoat.
Last. but not least, he never had on a
pair Of socks In his life.
Mr. Ingraham was no miser, but gen
erous, genial, and kindly man. He gather
ed up a fortune Of over 500, 200, enjoyed
life and died serenely happy, never hav-

Poultry

Poultry are bred by two classes of peo-
pie: One from the pleasure they derive
from It; the others for the money there is
III It. All men have their hobbies Some
in dress, other in fine homes. others IN
horses, others in dogs, and it is unnatural
for some to have it in poultry? But even
when Ples sure is the object, profit can
be derived; fresh eggs and choice meat for
home use are advantages that must not be
overlooked. Unlike most hobbies, poultry
affords little profit with the pleasure, to
say the least.
