FACTS WORTH KNOWING.

SHoOrs growing around the trunks Of
young trees rob the trees of nourish-
ment. They should never be allowed
to start If kept back for year they
will cease to appear. Grass around the
trunks will be more serviceable to the
tree if the sod is cut and inverted.
MANY trees would bear fruit if they
had about one-half of the limbs and
branches cut out, so as to allow the
sun to act on the leaves and assist in
preventing mildew. Too much top and
too many branches draw from the soil
the nourishment that should be used
for fewer branches.
Now THAT the time is coming when
there is liability that the pastures will
be cropped too close, look out for
them. 1t is better to do some feeding
in the barn rather than that the roots
of the grass in the pastures be so near
ly killed that they will not recover till
very late in the spring.
The plan of making witless war on
birds is already beginning to bear adj
verse fruits in many sections of the
country. Before man begins to kill
off the feathered songsters he should
acouaint himself with their customs, SO
as to be able to distinguish the injuri.
GUS from the beneficial, and to carefully
protect and foster the latter.
USING ewes that have born twin
lambs, using young ewes from twins,
and using rams that were twins, has
given good results in increasing the
prolifcacy of the tlocks where expert
ments have been made as tests in tina,

dragging of q large branch of tree
with the foliage on over the seeded
ground. thus smoothing it and slightly
covering the seed at the same time.
The second use is for feeding green to
stock. With dairymcn and farmers
who soil their cattle it is highly priced
for this purpose. Many feed it to
their horses a'so, and some 'veterina-
rians say that it is an excellent forage
for driving horses, as it does not scour
The third use is to grow it for seed for
market. When this is the aim it
should not be cut till mature, and
then early in the morning or late in
the evening, as the seed shakes out
easily by handling, and much will be
lost if handled when very dry. The
same care must be used afterward
when curing to be threshed. The yield
of seed is usually about six bushels
per acre, and the market price about
five dollars bushel.
Although clover will do well on poor
ground it will respond to generous
treatment and make much larger

consists in riddling the leaves with

H. False Worm.
This insect belongs to the same order
as the common honey bee. and is a near
relative of the rose and pear slugs. AS
an adult it is small black fly little
less than quarter of an inch in length
of body, with four smoky wings, which
it holds close along the back when they
are not in use.
These flies emerge from the ground
in early spring and insert their eggs
in the leaf stalks. The grubs which
hatch from these are pale yellowish
or greenish, and are from about half
to two-thirds of an inch long when
fully grown. They are TO be recog-

VOf late years scarlet clover has be-

OF Delaware, and there are now per-
haps ten acres sown for one few
years ago. The uses to which it is ap-
piled are principally three. First and
most important as fertilizer, espe-
cially on light and poor land where the
common red clover would not do well.
On such land, when accompanied with
a small application Of superphosphate
Of lime, it will make fair growth.
When in full bloom it should be
plowed under and the ground titled in
any crop desired. But the most popu-
lar use made of it as fertilizer is in
our peach orchards. AS soon as the
fruit is gathered the orchards are pre-
pared for the clover seed by blowing,
narrowing and rolling. The seed is
then sown broadcast and brushed or
rolled in. BY brushing is meant the

THE OYSTER.
Known ~ an Esculent In Early Roman
Times.

Times.
The highly digestible quality of the
oyster considered as food was known
at a very early period. When Sergius
Orata "ennobled the Lucrine oysters"
the British variety was unknown to the
Romans, but Sallust, at least fifty
years b. c., says of the Britons that
there is some good in them after all as
they produce an oyster. Sergius had
his beds off Baie, and made profit
out OF them, as they were much in re-
quest as a prelude to banquet, and
were esteemed besides for their medi-
cinial virtues. They nourish wonder
fully" we are told, land solicit rest, !"
being more healing than any drug or
mixture that the apothecary can COM
pound. The disgusting habits of the
Romans enabled them to swallow in
some cases thousand British oysters
at sitting, but that was when, as
Prof. Huxley reminds us, even ladies
carried about with them peacock S
feathers and other dainty throat-tick-
lers for the purpose when they antic-
ipated more luxurious feed than
usual"
Seneca, in the time OF Nero, renounc'
ed both oysters and mushrooms as mere
provocations of appetite, causing those
who are already full to eat more, a
thing no doubt very pleasant to glut-
tons, who like to stuff themselves with
such food asvery readily slips down and
very readily returns" But in times much
