Tree surgery.

An evidence of the beneficent spirit
of the conservation of the useful and
beautiful that is now being SO happily
shown throughout our country is to be
seen in the minor, but none the less
important, rehabilitation of the stately
and beautiful shade trees of our East
ern country. These old-time mon
archs of the forest that formerly COW
cred this section of the country have
been allowed to decay and fall by the
thousands, but now a wise system OF
tree surgery and repair is inaugurated
and skilled mel diagnose the condi-
ton of these grand sentinels, and by
system of judiclous cutting away the
deadwood, filing in the gashes with
bricks and mortar, thus strengthening
the otherwise weak trunks, and then
by skillful covering of the exposed
parts with tin or zinc, carefully paint
ed to represent the natural hnes OF the
bark, the tree is restored to its beauty
and guarded against further prema-
fura decay

veterinarian is needed TO make
skillful veterinarian dentist; it re-
quires a man who thoroughly under
stands the anatomy of the mouth and
has necessary instruments and skill
to correct whatever Is wrong. Few
farmers have either, and the so-called
veterinary dentist" who is not vet
erinarian, is usually an INSCRIPTIONS
person, who neither understands the
proper arrangements and conditions
of the teeth nor the proper manner of
correcting faults, man who lives by
deceiving the horse owner Hence, we
think that it is better for the owner
to get qualified man to attend to his
horses mouths. There are few horses
that have reached the age of years
or over (and often younger age) that
would not do better if their teeth
were dressed once every year The
reputable veterinarian does not tell all
his patrons this and look in the
horses mouth and say that his teeth
require attention. This looks too
much like looking for a job, and
horse owners are very apt to take it
that way, and the veterinarian who
has much respect either for himself
or his profession is above it, He
rightly thinks that if his services are
worth having they are worth asking
for All the same. the average horse
will thrive better on the same food
if his teeth are regularly dressed.
There are many cases in which atten-
tion is not required, and the profess
sional man, who, for the sake OF the
fee, will dress mouth that does not
require it. is, we trust, rarely found.

SUN DIAL NOTICES.

Many Famous Examples in England,
Ranging from Grave to Gray.
Very curious inscriptions appear on
many sun dials, such as the one on
Paper buildings, in the Temple, says
the Gentlewoman, which bids one abb
ruptly "Begone about your business"
and again in Pump court we are told
that shadows we are, and like shad-

Others on various sun dials are:

Vertical sun dials could be placed
or south wall with but little trouble
and less material, for it only required
dial to cast shadow and radiating
incised lines marked on the wall
These often appeared on churches, and
were generally near the southwestern
angle.
Sometimes sun dials even appeared
in stained glass windows. These are
still to be seen in Lambeth palace, and
at one time there was another in the
Church of All Hallows Staining, Mark
lane.
Another kind of dial was of port
able description known as the ring"
type, to be worn on the finger the
light finding its way through a tiny
hole. OF these the rarest sort known
was furnished with a combination Of
projections for throwing the shadow
OF the sun. Cardinal Wolsey had one
made In brass gilt on which were en-
grayed his arms. Other portable ones
were sort Of combination of dial and
compass folded up.
Then there was the pillar sun dial
with which we are familiar. OF this
kind the baluster-shaped pillar is most
frequently seen. though, of course,
there are many variations, some TAX
ing the form of columns more or less
carved and decorated.
In most recent years sun dials of
growing shrubs have been made as or
naments to lawns, such as the one at
Broughton Castle. near Banbury. The
hours are made of growing box or yew
embedded in minute fragments of
smashed marble; the upright dial, also
growing, is of yew, and is cut and
trimmed into shape. Around the whole
is written in letters OF yew, Memory
lives, but the hour flies"
A vertical sun dial on the wall of
SaEdringham House, King Edward 9
country place, says. Let others tell
of storms and showers, only count
the sunny hours"

Keeping Tab ON the Cow.

The only way to obtain readily,
easily and accurately the knowledge OF
8 cows production is by the use of the
scales Many people object to the use
of the scales, saying that it requires
too much time, but actual experience
shows that a half minute, thirty sec
onds. will be ample time to weigh and
record the production of each COW
at milking. BY watching the record
sheet one can tell readily whether or
not the COW is producing an amount
In proportion to the feed given. and
If she is doing so the feed can be in
creased until the maximum profitable
production Is attained. Another big
advantage of the daily milk record is
that it will allow the herd owner to
observe any threatened approach of
sickness, for any kind Of physical dis
turbance OF the animal Immediately
shows itself at the pail. The kinds
Of grain fed will be determined by the
grains in the market and their cost,
together with the roughness and
grains raised on the farm--Rural

More About High Prices.


1t must tickle good many farmers
to read in the papers that they are
responsible for existing high prices,
and when a little farther down the
column the city man tells them that
they ought to raise more grain and
vegetables and sell them for less
money the farmers "haw haw" can
be heard from the corral to the far
end OF the alfalfa field, says the Field
and Farm. Let the town merchant
accept the same advice Let him
double his stock and sell the $9.98
suits for 1888. Tell Mr.. Hill, the big
railroad man, to build more railroads
and charge excursion rates every day
OF course, that would not do, but the
merchants and the railroad owners are
becoming richer every day and no one
ever heard of farmer making any,
thing like million of a half million
or quarter of million from the
products. of his fields. Every sure
enough rancher earns the highest
price for whatever he has to sell, and

he can take advantage of the market
