Gardeners and fruit growers of half .
century ago showed much less intelligent
attention 10 the question of winter protec
tion than they do today. Half hardy
shrubs and trees were tied Up with straw
and made to appear tidy, without consult.
ing the question of the smoderipg effects
of this treatment. This applies not only
to fruits, but 10 shrubs and how .rs. We
understand now that the plants and vines
and bushes are injured as much from too
much protection Is they are from too little.
A few bows OF spruce or other conifers
loosely tied around the shrubs that are halt
tender will do more good than the smoth-
ering bands of straw.
Beds of perpetual plants often need COW
erlngs to keep the frost from throwing
them out by the alternate freezing and
thawing of the grouud. Leaves are the
best coverings for such bed, and they
may be kept down by sprinkling a little
lnose dirt or sand over them. Sometimes
the very tender plants will suffer frodl
this weight, aud light sticks will be all
hat Is necessary to keep the leaves In
place.
Protection in winter is often needed
more to keep off the sun than to keep the
cold out, for the most injurious thing to
the plants is the lowering and raising oi
the temperature. Often tree, fence or
any similar thing placed 20 as to shadow
the plants in the winter time will be the
best projection they can have. If any.
thing is tied around them see that is i,
loose and free 20 that the air can circulate

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Waiting.
JAMES BucKHAh.

As we grow old. how softly, slowly close
The doors OF sense, and shut us from the
world
Like tender petals of some ling ring rose
That, of frosty night, have inward curled!
Dim as the figures In a dream now pass
These firing shows that stirred our youthful
hearts
Poor hnrrying SHADOWS In n misty glass,
Each but moment seen ere 1t departs.
Nor sight, nor sound, taste of earths de-
lights
Can longer please; these things are past and
gone.
The soul will put her quiet house 10 rights,
And In the uppsr chamber wiicn tbs dawn.

blight were affected scarcely at all. This
shows that the best of culture will not al
ways prevent blight, and that during the
time of its ravages, there should, be some
soil covering to keep the ground cool.
Bnckwheat stands first rs crop for this
purpose, and clover second. This has been
determined by experiment by Captain
Speer, the former director of the agricul.
tural experiment station at Ames. Any
one can test the matter by the use of
thermometer in different growing field
crops.

Ration for an Eve.

A pint of oats with all the clover hay
she can eat, is an.excellent ration for one
eve. II strong and vigorous lambs are
desired, the ewes must be fed literally
during the winter. They do not require a
good condition. Plenty of hay is better
for them than a surfeit of grain.
