AN APPLE ORCHARD.

Some valuable suggestions made by
Professor Lazcnby at an Ohio IIorti-
cultural meeting were as follows:
Never plant deeper than the tree
stood in the nursery row. Never
omit applying q mulch to young trees
il there is tho slightest danger of
drouth. Never forget that low, stout
mot stunted) trees are preferable to
tall. slender ones.
Never forget that hardy, vigorous,
productive variety, of medium quality,
is infinitely more desirable than a
feoble-growing, shy-bcaring variety Of
much better quality.
Never buy large number of va
rietics for strictly commercial Or
chard. This is common and serious
mistake. Five varieties are usually
too many; three arc better, and a
single one may prove TO be the best of
all. ~
Never fail to have a succession of
apples for home use. For this pur-
pose few trees each of a somewhat

WATERED BUTTER.

The poor quality of creamery butter
as it comes from the churn is due to lack
of care and cleanliness either in the pa
irons who furnish the milk, or the cream
eryman, or it may be to the incompctency
of the buttermaker. These are faults of
ignorance or negligence. But very much,
and the amount seems to be rapidly in
creasing, of creamery butter that is
fairly good when it leaves the churn re-
mains so but short time. 1t will not
keep. This defect is due to the amount
of water purposely lett in the butter.
Eighty per cent. is the minimum of fat
for real good butter, yet very much of
the creamery butter when sold contains
scarce seventy-fve per cent. Here is
where the trouble comes i'll. Water
weighs more than butter, and as long as
it is mixed in the butter sells for the
same price, pound for pound, although
it costs nothing. There is, therefore,
the constant temptation before the cream
cry buttermaker to load his butter with
water. Against uncleanliness, careless
ness aud ignorance the law can grant no
protection, but the law can and ought to
grant protection against watering butter
as well as watering milk.-Jersey Bulle-

COLT WITH CURRY HOOK.

In ordinary affections known rs curb
there is at first rather soft swelling
just behind the lowest part of the hook
joint. Later the swollen parts become
hard ard firm, and the longer it remains
the more difficult to remove. The usual
cause is a sprain of the large tendon
which plays over the front of the hook,
causing great tenderness and more or
less Inflammation. When first observed
the animal should be placed in a stall
and kept quiet, and hot lamentations
applied to the leg in cold weather and
cold applications in hot, and then as
soon as the Inflammation subsidies apply
an active blister. It is customary to
tack on a high-heeled shoe to afford the
animal rest while under treatment, al
though this is not always necessary. If
proper treatment has been neglected, and
the parts about the hook become very
hard, apply cod liver oil two or three
times day, aud rub it in with soft
rag. If this fails to soften the parts,
make a lotion of one ounce of acetic acid,
one drachn of powdered cantharides,
and five ounces of water. A few applica-
lions of this will usually soften and
cause the swelling to disappear.

Decorations of nothing but dead

the more unsophisticated to do much

to produce good effect upon central

are yearly stunted in growth from lack
of care in one respect, namely, that or
cleaning the foliage. Plants which rarely
bear flowers make up for the lack OF
them by beauty of foliage, and it GER
tainly is reasonable to suppose that this
foliage to increase in beauty must have
attention and care. Crotons, pandanus,
kentias, aspidistras and all palms require
that the foliage be kept clean by frequent
spongings; this use of water will many
times prevent the apparent dying off Of
the tips of the leaves and the yellow ap-
pearance SO often seen on foliage plants.
Even the hardy century plants which will
stand almost any sort of abuse will be
increased in beauty if the foliage is kept
clean.
Another point is the use of water, es-
pecially on bright days when the atmos-
phere of the room is quite dry and close;
at such periods those large plants vail
consume considerable water if given
them. On dark days or in damp rainy
weather water should be given sparingly;
this rule holds good with all plants
grow in the house. These moist days
are often beneficial to plants, giving
them the moisture in the atmosphere
they need and which they absorb through
the foliage; indeed this moisture will be
all that plants require during damp
weather if they have previously had
proper treatment.
An occasional application of new soil
at the surface Of the pots, mixed with
plant food of some kind will enable the
decorative plants to make better show

Vain ProcautgDns

Meringen, the Swiss village which
has just been destroyed by fire, met a
similar misfortune in 1879. Since
that date, a native of the village tells
a correspondent, the precautions
against fire have been extraordinary.
Whenever the wind llew from q dan
gerous quarter smoking was forbid
Den, and at dusk, with few excep-
lions, all fires were ordered out, the
village smithy was stilled, the bakery
ovens had to be damped down, and
the shops would then be besiegcd with
customers anxious to buy what bread
they could. The reason for this was
the extraordinary restitution to which
the inhabitants were reduced after
the last fire, and fears are entertain
ed that the consequences may be
equally disastrous now.
