PRUNING PEACH TREES.

People who grow peach trees, as a
rule, do not prune them nor cut away
the wood enough. In majority of
the cases they allow them to grow up
into tall, "straggling" trees. They
generally consist of two or three bare
limbs, which run away up into the air,
with little tufts of leafy branches on
their ends. Such trees bear but little
fruit, it is hard to get at, and their tall
limbs are all the time splitting away
and falling to the ground with their
weight. 1t is no way to grow peach
tree.
From the very moment a peach tree
is set out the knife and thumb nail
should be used freely. Peach trees, to
be healthy and yield more fruit, re-
quire fertilizing and good cultivation
as much as any other tree; but when
they get this they are sure TO grow
rapidly and form lots of wood, and it
is our business to keep them in check,
thinned, as it were-and we'll cut
back, just the same as we would keep
the runners and plants of the straw
berry in check by pinching and cut
ting off the surplus growth. A peach
tree should never be allowed to get
over 10 feet high. Trees one year
from the bud are the best to set out,
and will prove far more satisfactory
than older trees.

EARACHE In CH1LDREN.-Earache
frequently attacks infants as we'll as
older children-even the little ones
who are never taken out except when
securely wrapped, and they often
suffer unrelieved because they cannot
make the mother understand where
the pain lies. 1t may be suspected
when a child is seized with sudden
and severe fit of crying, for which
there is no visible reason, that the
pain is in the ear, especially if certain
symptoms follow: The pain may
suddenly subside and the crying cease,
but the head will he restless and be
tossed from side to side, and the child
will complain if the ear is touched.
After a time, worn out with crying
and pain, the little sufferer will fall
asleep, and in the morning it will
probably be discovered that the ear
has been running. Something must be
done or another nights pain will be
the consequence. Heat is the best
remedy, and a warm poultice should
be applied behind the ear, after which
it will be we'll to dry the skin and rub
in a little camphorated oil or warm
audanum.-Philadelphia Record.

SIX RULES For LAMPs.-1. Let
the wick always touch the bottom of
the lamp, and trim the top square and
even, cutting off the corners. In stu
dents lamps rub off the crust on the
wicks, and never cut them.
2. Fill lamps within half an inch OF
the top. If too full the oil runs out,
and especially when lighted, greasing
everything that it touches.
8. In lighting, turn wick up slowly,
that the chimney may heat gradually
and thus not crack.
4. Keep the wick turned high enough
to burn feely. If too low poisonous
and explosive gas is generated.
5. A free draught is as necessary
with lamp as with a fire, so keep all
parts free from dirt.
6. Wash the chimneys in hot suds
and polish them with old newspapers,

The USE OF Hot WATER.-Fre-
quently where acute nasal catarrh is
threatened, hot foot-bath with hot
compress on the forehead, and one at
the nap of the neck, will avert the
disagreeable condition which seems
inevitable. A stubborn cough can be
conquered often by consistent appli,
cation of hot water to the throat and
bronchial regions. Surely it is better
to treat the suffering body than to
medicate it from one disease into
another. Care is, of course, to be
taken that the clothing or bedding
may not become so wet as to bring
about more dangerous, or at least,
more disagreeable conditions. Luke
warm water is worse than useless it
must be hot; as hot as the skin will
bear.

SOWING GLOVER SEED.

Having had much experience, as
we'll as success, in the matter of SOW
ing clover seed, I am frequently asked
to give my plan of doing it. Many
farmers believe that all depends on
the time the seed is sown. This is a
mistake, as all depends on the condi-
ton of the soil. Until recent years,
farmers in Southwestern Ohio sowed
most of their seed very early-general-
iy in February. There is nothing
gained by early sowing; but much
lost, as our farmers learned to their
sorrow. They are more than ever
con vinced of this fact since two years
ago, when nearly all of the early
sown clover was killed by late cold
spell. I have practiced both, early
and late sowing for many years, and
shall sow no more before March 10,
preferring from that date up to the
25th. If during this period the condi-
tions are right, I SOW; if not, it is
sown later.
The condition that I require is, that
the ground be slightly frozen, just
enough to cause the surface to become
roughed or honeycombed. Seed sown
on such a surface will naturally find
the lowest places, will fall to the bot
tom of the cell-like crevices, and when
a thaw comes the seed is 80 deeply
covered that none will grow until
spring has really come. Quit sowing
just as soon as it begins to thaw, as
the seed will stick to the soil wherever
it falls. Never sow on snow if you
want an even stand, for should it melt
quickly or go off with rain, much OF
the seed is carried to the low places,
and there grows in great punches.
Never SOW after rain, when the sur
face is smooth and packed, as in the
condition of the surface is the great
secret of success. If I fail to get the
proper conditions from freezing, wait
until early in April, when the wind
and sun cause the ground to crack
almost as much as from freezing. l

Dropping a. .,..l rnrough tho Earth.

SC. II" Of East s. Louis asks the
following culious question, "If ii were
possible TO bore hole foot or more in
diameter entirely through the earth,
and to then start "a 100 pound ball to
falling through this s, 900 miles of hole,
at what point would it stop?" In an
swer to this we will say that weight,
in the sense to which our correspondent
alludes, is the measure of attraction of
gravitation, or, in other words, it is
the measure of force with which q body
is attracted to the EARTH This attractive
force decreases both ways from the
earth's surface. Therefore if ball
should be started on the tour outlined
in your query it's weight would decrease
to certain extent with every yard Of
it's flight Cor fall), until finally, upon
reaching the center of the earth it
would have no weight whatever. This
curious state of affairs would be brought
about by the gradual lessening by the
force Of attraction, or gravitation, until
the center of the globe would have been
reached, at which point the ball would
be held in suspension, as though fixed
by numerous magnetic points. In other
words, at the center of the earth the
phenomenon of weight is entirely want
