plants climbing up on the sides and
over the roof. In an uncle's garden
the summer house was placed against
the wall on the north, or further,
end of the lot, and choicest grape
vines were trained along the walls
on both sides, and others covered the
summer house so completely that
there was real coy retreat for any
member of the family looking for q
chance to. rest, read or enjoy tho
luscious fruit of the vines. Many
happy hours of my early boyhood
have spent in these summer houses.
In all of them we had table in the
center, with chairs or benches around
it, and here we would play, or enjoy
the fruits of the season, usually
standing in big fruit dish in the
middle of the table, or read paper
or book, or write letters, or take our
coffee and lunch. Old country pco-
pie, in short, take time for comfort
and for the enjoyment Of the good
things Of life. On this side of the big
water, in our anxiety to acquire the
means to live, we forget to live and
to enjoy life. I know that the SUM
mer house has added much to my
pleasures in early life and to my love
for home and family; and I believe
that it is worth while to make use Of
so inexpensive means of adding TO
our children's pleasures and comforts
and to their appreciation Of home.
This was the chief object I had in
view in making my plea for summer
houses.-Farm and Firesiile.

PRoPAGATING ROSES.
4 System Of Buadins By Which EARLY
and Late Varieties Are Grown
on the same Bush.

One Of the easiest and best ways to
propagate roses is by budding. The
process is the same as with the peach,
pear, apple, ETC., but will give short
description with an illustration to
make it a little palmer. Select bud
from the rose you wish to propagate,
and cut about one-fourth above and be-
low the bud, taking out an elliptical
piece with little wood beneath it, as
shown in Fig. 1.
For the stalk take any hardy or wild

BENEFITS OF PRUNING.
It Improves Quality and Consequent-
IL Adds Considerably to the Pro.
ceeds from the Orchard.

In my experience as q grower and
dealer in apples for more than so
years, have found that the fruit that
was grown and ripened in the sunlight
was finer in favor and worth in the
market from Is to SO cents per barrel
more than if grown on trees of thick
foliage that shaded the fruit.
There is no fact more plainly visible
to an observing man, as he goes about
the country, than the shabby looking
appearance of the orchards. Shoots
are allowed to grow until they are so
thick that in gathering the fruit it
has to be picked from the outside of
the trees, there being no good chance
to place ladder inside. do not think
I have ever seen more than q. dozen
properly shaped and pruned orchards.
if the trees, when planted, were grated
or budded. All varieties of apple trees
do not make the same excess of wood,
and neglect of pruning would not dam
age ell the varieties alike, or to the
same extent.
My experience in growing pears is
the same as with apples. I have in
creased the value of pears in the mar
ket so cents per bushel by thinning out
trees that had not been pruned from
the time they were first planted. Pears
are so cheap in our markets here that
it scarcely pays to market them, un-
less they are of good size and fine quail
ty. PeAr trees will not grow good fruit
If the trees are neglected like the ap-
pie trees.-Jonas II. Priest, in Country

off and hide them in the depths of a pine

bear six pounds of fleece, for which there
is always a great demand, and readily
brings is the market As cents a pound.
A kid will yield three pounds year,
which will bring the same figures in the
market. The pelts are considered very
valuable, as there is always a strong de-
mand for them. The meat in many places
is considered the choicest of eating.
Before deciding to locate the farms in
Maryland and West Virginia 1 looked
over a great deal of territory, and 1 am
frank to admit that If all the land examin-
ed found none which offered such in
ducements and advantages for goat rails
ing as did the territory around Oakland.
We expect to take in all the mountain
land between Oakland and Berkeley
"In addition to the production of fleece
the goats are invaluable as cleaners of

put it down in blue grass and go cxtensi-

They Should Settle in st. Mary's.

Hon. Bradley T. Johnson writes to the
Baltimore Sun as follows
Messrs. Editors The Government of
France by recent legislation is driving
many of the religious societies out of
France, and among them notably the
Brothers of the Grand Chartreuse at
Avignon Now the monastery of the
Chartreuse has had for centuries a pecu-
liar industry, the manufacture of that
cordial known to every bon vivant in the
world as Chartreuse, cordial in great
repute everywhere and in very extensive
use. The Brothers are moving to a house
of their order in England. St. Mary IS
county, Maryland. is in every way better
suited to them. Soil and climate will
produce the constituents Of their famed
cordial to perfection.
Maryland is the country where religious
federation has been established these 27O
years and and is fixed III the hearts of the
people. This is the only country profess.
ing to be civilized from which the Society
of Jesuits has never been driven. They
own and occupy to day grand estates,
which they hold by grants from Indian
kings in 1633-1G40, and they are revered
and loved by the whole population,
Roman Catholic and Protestant. No
country in the world offers the Brothers
of the Chartreuse such inducements as the
shores of the ST. Mary's, the PatuXent and
the Potomac rivers. With climate soft
er than that of Southern France, with
skies more beautiful than those of AVG
non, with air more balmy, the brethren
would not change their skies if they
changed their homes.
The Commissioner of immigration of
Maryland can easily get in communica-
ton with them through the authorities of
the Roman Catholic Church in Baltimore
and our great Cardinal will take pleasure
in pointing out refuge to his brethren,
driven from France by the folly and the
shortsightedness of French politicians
l bring the matter to his attention. Their
estate in England will amply provide
them with the means of emigration and
of establishment in Maryland-the Land of
the Sanctuary.
