ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

The value Of wood ashes IN the Or
chard can hardly be overestlmated.
Coal ashes can often be used TO good
advantage In mulching ounce trees.
The soil should be kept from becom-
ing hard on the surface about fruit
trees.
There are few kinds of fruits more
easily or more cheaply grown than
raspberrles.
Fruit Of a fine appearance sells bet
ter than fruit Of extra flavor which is
not so snowy.
While a good dressing Of manure can
be applied on the garden in the fan on
winter to advantage, care should be
taken to have 1t thoroughly rot,cd.
Our best lawn or street tree. the sugar
maple, should always be transplanted
In the fall, as the profuse discharge
from the branches and roots when cut
necessarily renders planting uncertain.

without dollar he could call his own,
asked to contribute to charity. He
pulled n nickel out OF his pocket and
said with the utmost gravity;

abled TO pay his way To the next town

A very high idea of human patience
is given by the account of a correspond
ent of Forest and Stream, who has, he
says, tanned a common cat to retrieve.
Patience. gentleness, entire absence Of
force, were his maxims.
Whenever game had been killed the
cat was led to it, and the game was
given to him. Next the cat sought the
game on his own account. Next he
was taught to stay close to his master.

was then taught not to fear the sound
of the gun, beginning with a little car
bine, l., = I,~acveding to the fowling
piece. s.i..,i The gun was fired, COM
mon -, v:' pitched forward by the
master, and The connection between
the report Of the piece and retrieving
was established. Then dead bird was
substituted for the ball, and it was at
first thrown from the hand and after
| ward dropped from the branch of q
distant tree. The education of this
particular cat is now complete. He re-
| trieves perfectly, points sometimes and
| in general conducts himself like hunt
| ing dog.
The biologists deny the Inheritance OF
acquired characteristics. If it were not
for their doctrine. this learned animal
| might become the progenitor of a long
line of useful hunting cats. As it is, he
stands as living monument to human
patience and as a proof that even the
| cat may be educated.
