then skim off and churn again, adding

If by any mishap a good butter
maker has some poor butter On his
hands he will not try to doctor it and
put it upon the market as his make.
His reputation is worth too much.
In the case supposed (where one has
poor butter) It is best, it seems to us,
and cheaper IN the long run to put the
stuff on the market without brand and
let it be sold for what it will bring

lowing the load to fall where it is
wanted, without handling. Where a
team and scraper are employed, the
winged platform, shown in the first
figure, will be found useful as chute
to lead the gravel from the platform to
the wagon If the bank Is high, or when
it becomes difficult to get the wagon
close to the platform. When road
makers become accustomed to the
cheap handling of gravel, the system
of scraping up loan from the cutters

given up, and good country highways,

A bearing fruit tree in healthy con-

fruit-buds in part or completely, &C.

fruit from older fruit-buds, prepared to
yield this final product. But this last
production Is very exhaustive, the
Towering is a heavy drain and the
production of seed is especially so in
the case OF all sorts plants.
Trees that yield their fruit early
in the summer, as the cherry, for
example, have time left during the same
season in which to devote their means
to preparing fruit-buds for the next
years yield, and they are naturally an
nual bearers. But late-maturing fruits,
as winter apples, have no suchaoppor-
tunity, and if their fruit yield is large
they must of necessity lie fallow, as it
were, for year to prepare themselves
for another Towering and fruiting
Manuring and the suppression of all
competing growth will greatly aid
them by giving general vigor and sup
ply, but the first effect of this is to pro-
mote growth of new shoots, and we
often see these SO numerous and SO

ture there must go judicious pruning,
especially with thumb and finger;
prompt suppression of redundant
shoots, and thinning or parting of those
that are well placed so as to admit
light to the leaves of the fruit-bearing
spurs beneath. Without this, manur-
ing may qEite fail of its intended pur.

Never Say eve Heard 1t Before. ;,

course, often asked when some one in con-

whether | have heard so and so. Now il

that have never heard it, and that is nv
invariable practice Everybody who has
undertaken to tell a story knows what "a
sensation is produced when a listener in
terrupts him to say that he has heard it
before, and of course there is something of
the same feeling when one who thinks he
has a good thing to tell is headed off by
the remark that it has been heard already
mo story is ever told twice precisely
alike. Theindividual element always comes
in. So it is no evasion or stretching of the
truth when / say of some incident that may
be familiar TO me that | have not heard it;
lam sure that / have not heard it in pre-
cisely the way this teller will narrate it,
And it makes things much pleasanter too,
