Peach trees often consist of two or
three bare limbs with little turfts of
leafy branches at the ends. There
is but little fruit, and it is hard to
get at, and the limbs are ever in
danger of splitting away. Let there
be more pruning at the start.
Grapes should remain on the vines
until they attain proper quality
They do not ripen in transit like
apples and pears. The temptation
is to ship them too soon in order tC
reach the highest market.
Even our apples are coming more
and more in demand for the expor
trade. We must get rid of the of
year tendency. Thin the fruit, ma
nure crops among the trees, anC
prune away all superfuous wood.
Avoid the rush in the spring tim,
by cleaning out the dead wood fr0u
the blackberries, raspberries, cur
rants and gooseberries. A littl,
later rub off superhuous new sprouts
from any stems which require it.
The following good suggestion has
been given for setting out a perma
nent fruit garden: Next to the fence
set out fifty or hundred asparagu,
plants; five feet out place a hundred
black raspberries of three or four va
rieties; seven feet further, as man!
red raspberries; the same distance
hundred blackberries; lastly, 1
row of grapes.
The spring will soon be here. /

If young orchards are fertilizet
too highly they will run to wood
but in older trees, if properly pruned

production of richer and bette

Many contend If a young SOW is
bred for first litter of pigs to a scrub

The young pigs are pretty sure to
be wintered at loss If fed wholly
or even mainly upon corn. If one
third or one-half of the ration is
composed of that heating and fat
producing grain it will be quite
enough. Feed for growth rather
than flesh. u1

The raising of artichokes for hogs
is worth trying, and it may be wei

can be planted as early as the grouno
can be made ready. They certainly
are an aid toward the economical
feeding of hogs.

MARRIED MEN LIVE LONG.
Interesting Statistics Compiled by Noted
German Scientist,

Interesting Statistics Compiled by Noted
German Scientist.
Persons who desire to live to good old
age will do well to take lesson from an
interesting work on the subject which has
been issued by DIR. Schwartz of Berlin.
The doctor has given much time to the
study of longevity, and the conclusions at
which he has arrived are based on statis
tics which seem in all respects reliable.
He begins with the bold statement that
any one who desires to live for fourscore
and ten years should get married. In 9th
er words, he claims that conjugal life is a
necessary condition of longevity. Here
are the statistics which support this state
ment: OF 200 persons who had reached the
age of 40 years the doctor found that 1875
were married and 70 unmarried. OF 20
men who had reached the age of 60 years
he found that 4S were married and only
20 unmarried.
He next took 3S men, each of whom
was in his SEVENTEEN year, and he found
that 81 were married and II unmarried.
Finally he took ~ men, each aged 90
years, and found that were married and
8 unmarried. 1t may be claimed that no
sure conclusion can be drawn from statis-
tics of this nature, for the reason that the
| institution of marriage is spread all over
the world and hence it is natural to find
the majority Of persons married. Dr.
Schwartz in reply again brings forward
some curious statistics. These statistics
show that the mortality among bachelors
between the ages of 30 and As is as high as
| 81 per cent, whereas among those who
are married it does not exceed IS per cent.
sit is evident" says French writer,
who has closely studied Dr. Schwartz s
statistics "that we must acknowledge the
potency of these figures, and that, if we
desire to live to good old age we should
get married as soon as possible. We should
certainly do so if we wish to live full
century, for DIR. Schwartz cites the cases
of 80 centenarians not one of whom is a
bachelor. A curious fact, too, is that these
80 centenarians were all widowers. -

Dairy.

1t has been again and again dem
onstrated that the less the butter is
worked the better. If the granular
system of churning is practiced, and
ample,time given for the water to
drain out, no working will be needed,
or only enough to bring the butter
to solid condition. If the butter
milk has all been washed out there
will be none left to work out.
If all the buttermilk has not been
washed out of the butter, it is GER
tain that the attempt to work it out
will result in breaking the grain of
the butter; and if one does not
understand the granular system of
churning it will pay him to look into
the matter at once.
In butter making everything is be-
ing sifted down to business propo.
sition. Dairymen make more money
now than in the days when butter
was higher, because of more scientif-
ic methods; more cream rises, more
summer crops raised and better cows
kept.
Failure will be certain to the
dairyman who has not the gift OF
punctuality, and he would better
quit. No employment requires
more method. Every part of the
work must be performed every day
and almost the same hour in the
day. Any variation is actual loss.
Watch the COW which gradually
dec ines in yield while her mates
under the same management, dc
not. Pedigree counts for nothing
when COW will not respond to gooC
feed with fair yield of milk.
He runs dairy with most prof
who gives most attention to making
the farm produce large crops of grair
and grass to be fed to the cows
there is not so much profit wher
feed is bought outside. The bust
ness of the dairyman does not begir
and end with the care of the COWS
but reaches into every detail of farm
management.

Sheep.

Oats and peas are good food for
sheep because thew are not so heat
ing as more carbonaceous food, like
corn and corn meal. The use of too
much heating food may cause a
shedding of wool, and this may re.
duce the strength and vitality of the
animal as well.
For ewes about to drop their lambs
the best food is none too good. Give
them good hay, with few roots,
every day, If they are at hand, and
some wheat bran if it seems to be
needed to keep them in proper con-
dition.
The English say that the best
mutton in the world is produced by
the use of Southdown ram with a
MerinO eve, and their butchers
claim they not only give the finest
quality of meat, but have the small
est percentage of Offal and a desir-
able lightness of bone. With these
sheep there is certainty that their
good qualities will in great meas
ure be transmitted to their offspring
The dislike some have to mutton
is that they have eaten half fatted
sheep. The animal should grow ra.
pidly and mature early, being KEEP
in prime condition as to flesh all tie
time,
Juicy muttons are not grown or
bare pastures, and if our farmer:
will realize this we shall speedily
have more good mutton in oul
market stalls, and there will be 1
better profit in their production
The sheep should not be kept as ;
scavenger, to eat briars, weeds anC
thistles, but should luxuriate in ricl
meadows.
When buying sheep it is just a.
well to get those which are prolific
80 long as they have the other de
sirable qualities in addition. TIL
Shropshires, Dorsets and some 9th
ers are of this class.

The Gripmnn,s Foes.

There has always been one driver that
the cable gripman has let have his own
way, and that is the driver of the giant
truck with the load of iron beams. The
power in the engine that moves the cable
is ample to brush away the great truck as
it would hand cart. But there would
need to be adequate means Of applying it,
and this the cable car does not supply.
Heavy as it is, it is not nearly so heavy as
the big truck with the iron beams. In a
collision with that the car would be
wrecked and left behind, while the cable
sung merrily on below. The gripman
knows this, and so, while he bangs the
gong, he doesn't really mean to go On I'M
til the driver Of the great truck has turned
out.
There is now another moving thing that
the gripman does not try to brush off the
face of the earth, and that is the ponder
Gus road roller such as is used in the city
in tho making of asphalt pavements.
These rollers go from one part of the city
to another under their own steam, lum-
bering along slowly, but with irresistible
power Sometimes they cross the cable
tracks or move along in the same street.
With road roller ahead the gripman
slams the gong as usual, but it is purely
formal notice. There are now two men to
whom the gripman comedies the right OF
way, the driver of the giant truck with
tho iron beams and the pilot of the steam
road roller.-New York Sun.

Wakefulnsss In Sleep.

On going to bed man recalled that he
must rise the next day at s, at the same
time forgetting that his clock was half an
hour fast. In the middle of the night he
awoke, and on looking at his clock re-
membered that it was half All hour fast,
and that consequently he must wake not
when the clock struck s, but half an hour
later. He then fell into a sound slumber
until he felt himself disturbed by some
unknown cause. He started up with the
dread that he had awakened too late, but
looking at his clock he saw that 1t pointed
exactly to half past 8. Thus, in spite Of
deep sleep, the sleeper's attention not only
followed the course Of time, but even cor
rected the error of the clock, the man sleep
ing soundly while the clock struck and
awaking when the hand silently pointed
to the half hour. Sleep, Its Physiology

A Practical Reformer.

He had not been in business very long,
or he would assuredly have known better
than to open his place of business near a
somewhat pretentious neighborhood and
place the sign Scents Furnishing Store"
over the door. He observed that prim
looking lady paused and stared at it when
ever she passed, and he was pleased to
think that she was struck by its artistic
qualities.
"It pays to have things done right" he
said to his salesman. "The extra gold leaf
in that lettering cost money, but 1t at

One day the prim looking lady came
into the shop. The proprietor fastened to

CHLORAL.
The Use and Abuse of This Most Danger.
OuJ Hypnotic Drug.

OuJ Hypnotic Drug.
Chloral is the most popular hypnotic,
but is the one which most frequently gives
rise to habit Clergymen seem to be par
ticularly addicted to the formation of this
habit. When opened the discussion on
hypnotics at thu British Medical associa-
ton, was taken to task for saying that
chloral was dangerous drug, yet it was
admitted that it was the custom to give
digitalis with the choral. Dgitalis is not
an antidote to the paralyzing effect of
choral when administered with it, for the
action of digitalis is altogether too slow.
Cases were quoted in which patients had
taken large doses of choral and had sur
vived but these exceptions prove nothing
and are no more an argument for the safe
ty of choral than the fact that persons
have fallen from great heights and have
escaped injury is an argument for jump
ing off high buildings. Chloral is not a
safe drug. Sooner or later choral will be
used in case of fatty degeneration of the
heart, and the patient may be killed with
} perhaps dose Of only ten grains. 1t is
not safe drug certainly in the hands of
such practitioners as would administer
ulSlOullo al OI6 hdiilG Ullu6. vi buO SuDSUl-
tutes for chloral butyl chloral has been
abandoned.
Professor Richet claims that chloralose
is sedative so far as the brain is con-
cerned, and stimulant so far as the
spinal cord is concerned. This is true of
dogs, but in fatal case seen in practice
the paralysis came from the heart, and
there were no symptoms that could be at
tributed to overexcitability of the spinal
cord. There is safe derivatiye of chloral,

Of the amide radical neutralizes to con-
siderable extent the depressing action on
the heart. 1t is fairly insoluble, and is
therefore more prolonged in it's action. 1t
is far safer than chloral. 1t is difficult to
form a habit with chloralamide, yet
know of one instance in which the patient
developed the habit after taking it with
out my knowledge for a year. The habit
was cured without great difficulty. PRO

Marriage Is Happiest, 1t Is Claimed, IL
the Wife Be Senior.
Every one has his own idea as to what
will constitute happy marriage, but
there is one point ON which nearly all
agree-the wife must not be older than
the husband.
People who look complacently on the
spectacle of girl of 16 or 18'marrying a
man twice her age are ready to declare it
proclamation Of the marriage altar if the
bride is few years older than the bride
groom. 1t would be q curious study in
sociology to trace this prejudice to its
source. A prejudice it undoubtedly is, for
some of the happiest marriages known to
the world have been those In which the
wife was the older of the two.
Every one who knows his Boswell knows
the extraordinary devotion of johnson to
the fat, ugly widow whose manners were
execrable and who was nearly twice his
