Farm AND GARDEN NOTES.

Hunt out the borers in the young
orchard trees.
MANY orchards have their vitality
injured by too late and too deep culti'
vation. .~~
Manure may be drawn out and
spread whether the ground ls frozen
or not. ,..,
A little lime-water applied to plants
occasionally will kill the earth worms
in the soil. ....
; 1t is q good plan to plant out few
psach and apple trees every year to
keep up the supply of fruit.
|, Whenever a meat animal ceases to
gain in flesh it is kept at loss, and is
constantly eating up previous profits.
The best winter cucumber is the
Telegraph. 1t will live and bear Gu
cumbers all winter if rightly treated.
Because Alsike clover has finer stems
and is therefore easily cured. it is
commonly preferred for feeding young
stock, as calves and lambs.
When your work is completed, i'm
prove your horticultural knowledge
by studying good papers on every sub
iect, and learn how to make the best
use of your land next season.
Toads are sold by the dozen in
France for the purpose of stocking
gardens to free them from many in
furious insects. The toad lives almost
entirely on winged insects and never
does harm to plants.
In England tomato plants have been
grated on potato plants, giving q
crop of tomatoes above ground and
potatoes below. Potatoes grated on
tomatoes have produced flowers, to-
matoes and few tubers.
The best time for putting mulch on
the strawberry bed is when the ground
is frozen an inch or two. It is not
necessary, or even desirable, to cover
the leaves completely, but to cover
the ground around and among the
plants.
Nc successful method has yet been
found .or preventing the disease known
as twig blight, affecting apple and pear
trees. The damage may be greatly
lessened by carefully watching the
trees during the season of growth and
cutting off the affected twigs footbe
low the point of injury. The cuttings
should then be burned.

BHE.HIvRs FOR FARMERS.

Most farmers would have better sue.
cess with bees if they used only the
old straw or box hives. Bee.keeping
with the movable-frame hives is an
art which few care to learn; the straw
hive is a simple tool which any one
can use. Before the bee.moth became
prevalent, nearly every farmer kept
bees in this simple way. The intro
duction of the Italian bee has done
away with this trouble. With the
old-fashioned hives, women and chill.
dren can do most of the work, and
bee-keeping, like poultry-rsising, can
be their special province and profit.
Aside from learning to hive new
swarms, little knowledge is needed

TIPS ON cows HORNS.

The next best thing to dehorning is
to fit metal blunt tip over the horns
of cattle so as to prevent the horns
from piercing when in play or anger
it is pushed against other animals.
These tips can be procured at most
hardware stores, and saving off enough
of the horn to make them a good fit is
a painless operation that does not re-
quire either skill or severe labor

WAYS TO oATCR CUT WORMS.

The Florists Exchange gives the
following ways to catch cut worms:
1. Placing around the plants fruit
or vegetable cans from which top and
bottoms have been removed. The top
of the can should be three or four
inches above the surface of the ground.
The ends can be unsoldered by throw
ing the tins into fire.
2. Flowing the groand early in
September, and not allowing weeds to
grow. .....
8. Flowing tie ground late in the
fall or early in spring, keeping the
surface free from weeds by cultivation,
and not putting crop on same until
the middle of May or first of June.
During the first ten days of May, fresh
cut clover, grass or weeds which have
been dipped in water containing Paris
green should be strewn over the
ground each evening.
4. Collecting the worms each even.
ing while they are feeding. This re-.
quires good light and sharp eyes.
5. Each morning hunting for the
worms around the fresh cut plants.
6. Using '.light traps" at intervals
during the months of June, August
and September. These traps are made
by filling tub or half cask two.thirds
full of water, pouring little kerosene
over the surface and hanging a lantern
over the tub. .. .'

KNOWLEDGE Is POWER.
DEAR &C. AND Inv: knowledge" it

blessing hid within a fact. My purpose is. then,
to show how knowledge is blessing to all.
Take an author or writer, for example. Be-
fore he can write he must know, or in other
words understand, the technical, practical, ana
common terms Of his subject; must have an
assured belief and thorough understanding
OF all its parts or forms. Unless one mas the
power or knowledge to aid him in expressing
his thoughts. forcbly and clearly, and in such
a manner that it would be impossible to MIS-
understand him, much would be lost that might
he of aielp to us.
No one can write clear and interesting article
on any subject unless he has clear and deep IN
sight into that of which he writes, and knowl-
edge only can aid him in this. Not only do L
mean clear insight and knowledge OF the
direct causes of the subjects being" but how
it came to be, what produced it, for nothing
can produce itself. Unless one can reason such
causes, he can never understand the effect no
matter how simple or plain such may seem 10
be.
The first great element of knowledge is truth.
Indeed, without truth there is no knowledge
Someone has said of the old proverb. Wisdom
Is the principal thing. therefore get wisdom !;
that wisdom is knowledge systematically
arranged. as TO be easily learned and readily
applied" "; and for myself / believe this to be
the best definition i ever learned.
We know, as well as know anything that
the constitution of man is such that he IS
ever acquiring new truths. or in search OF
knowledge. IL it were not for this what would
be the state of our country to-day: Let the
power of knowledge stop for one year and who
can tell the effect. The excitement of going
on and on, where others have never been. in
spires men to their greatest results. The time
of victory ends this race and closes all doors to
knowledge; then must new race be run.-O
