10Ji THE FARM. AND HOME.
Train FmRTrtM tow
There was some excuse when the
country was new and the first land
cleared was planted with fruit trees,
for training tree tops high, so ns to be
out of the way of the horses in plough¬
ing or to grow crops under them. But
we have long since learned that no
crops grown under trees pay their
cost It would be better still if teams j
coulu not get within ten feet Of the
trunks, and weeds or grass beneath
them were kept down by mulching, j
Low tops are more convenient for I
gathering fruit, and are less liable to
He blown off by severe winds. A low
top is easily kept in proper Shape, as
it is not necessary to procure high lad¬
ders to do the required pruning. Low
tops also protect the trunk from in¬
jury by exposure to sudden variations
in temperature. They are peculiarly j
valuable in regions of severe frost, 88
they protect the stem and branches
from the rays of the sun, which melt
the frost in the tree to suddenly.
Kerosene as an I nsecticide.
Kerosene and crude petroleum are
gaining favor among fruit growers as
excellent and cheap insecticides. Li
ther the crude or the refined oil may !
be used, but in all cases it should bo |
employed in an emulsion made with
soap and water. The proper propor¬
tion of the material is: Kerosene, two
gallons; common soap, one-half pound,
and water, one gallon: The soap and
water should be boiling hot and the !
kerosene added; then churn the mix
ture until it forms an emulsion of
about the consistency of cream,
When it is applied to the infested j
plants, dilute with cold water, varying
the strength according to the species
of insects to he destroyed. The soft
skinned species, like the mealv bugs
and aphides, wili be destroyed by us-:
ing . one ^ part . of a the ii emulsion . . to , tvven- . i
ty or thirty parts of p. water; . but when
it is applied to the bark lice or scale
Insect, it may be diluted about ten to
ff, fifteen times. Kerosene emulsions . are
the best known insecticides for the
various minute pests affecting the or¬
ange and lemon .—New York Sun.
KutUnnilk for Calves and Pies.
AVe are asked the value of butter¬
milk for swine and calves, and why it
is not considered as safe to feed with¬
out any additional food, as skimmed
milk. Buttermilk, if in good condi¬
tion, has a value very similar to
ekimmed milk. It is slightly richer in
fat, having 1 per cent., ami slightly
less albuminoid matter. It is figured
at twenty-two cents per 100 pounds.
It will produce a rapid growth on !
calves and pigs, if it does not derange
the stomach. But buttermilk is apt
to be in a strong condition of fermen¬
tation. This very soon produces a bad
form of scours, which, unless taken
quickly, may end fatally. It is hardly
safe to feed buttermilk without mix¬
ing one-half pound of finished mid¬ !
dlings (what farmers call “canel”) per
gallon of buttermilk. If it is quite
sour it should be boiled with the mid¬
dlings. The heat will neutralize the
acidity, but it will not be as valuable
as before fermentation has eaten up
some of the food elements. We often
recommend keeping a little flax-seed
on hand for use in checking scours,
and it will be most useful here. Boil
one quart of flax-seed in six quarts of
water. This will become like jelly.
Stir a little of this boiled flax-seed Into
the ration of each calf, or into that for
several calves or pigs. The emollient
effect of this is very soothing to the
stomach. Feeders should not consider
a few bushels of flax-seed as adding to
expense, for it is worth all it Costs,
fed in small quantities, as promoting
rapid growth. We always use this
instead of linseed oil, for there is dan¬
ger of getting impure oil, but the seed
can be relied upon .—National Lice
Stock Journal.
The Value o‘ Ore hard Grass.
Orchard grass, or cocks-foot, is one
of the most valuable of grasses for j
many farms. Hiram Sibley, Roches¬
ter, X. Y., in his “Grain and Farm
Manual,” says:
“If it were better understood we
think it would be more frequently
sown. The seed is usually sown in
the chaff, and it costs considerable to
sow an acre. Two bushels to the acre
is usually sown if used alone. It is
very sensitive to good or bad treat¬
ment. It is emphatically a grass for
strong, rich land, where it yields a ’
heavy crop. The grass comes up well j
and early, makes a good, strong plant!
which grows in tufts or bunches. It j
looks a trifle coarse, but is tender and
palatable. It will not spread and 1
makes a handsome turf. It is one of
the very first to make a good “bite” in j
spring, or after it has been closely fed i
or mowed off. The plants Mower quite
early—about the same time as red ; 1
clover. If cut while in tlower or verv v |
soon suffers after, much it makes by going first-rate beyond hay. It j
as this
period as any grass with which we are {
acquainted. Ripe orchard grass makes
a very poor hay. \t> think here is
where man) fail in its management.
They are not ready to cut it as soon as
it snould be cut. Orchard grass makes
excellent permanent pasture in many
places. In other places it is Boon
crowded out by June grass or other
grasses. It is not a troublesome grass
to kill by ploughing, as is often the
ca ”e with .Tune grass or Quack grass,
It is by all means worth trying by ev- j
ery farmer in the Northern states. It
•ucceeds in the dry climate of Kansas,
endures drought and yields abundant
ly; it succeeds in New England and
on the highlands of the South. • •

It is very important to plow barley
stiibblo where wheat is to be sown as
quickly as ttossible after the barley
crop is off. Unless this is done the
advantage, in sowing wheat after
barley is little over sowing it after an
oat crop
Palms and ferns should be in shady
places and cactutes in sunny quarters.
Protect the pots from the direct sun¬
shine, else the young roots next them
will get hurt. All evergreen plants
want water, and at this time of year
of it.
If a farmer desires to know bow

,, Grow a crop ot string beans and
pack them away in layers, using salt
as a packing material, and they will
keep till beans are in season again.
The crop grows quick ly, is easily re¬
moved when the ground is wanted
again, and yields w’ell. Grow them in
succession, if you want them tender
and choice. The German black wax
are the best.
When turkey chicks run with their
own mother they should be fed re¬
gularly and only towards night. This
will induce them to come up every
afternoon for their feed, when they
may be enclosed for the night. Dur¬
ing the day the turkeys will do better
to forage for themselves than to rely
on what can be given them. Shutting
up at night is important while the
chicks are small, or else the old hen
will draggle them through wet grass
in the morning and soon lose more
than half her brood.
Every one know-s how difficult it is
to remove weeds frum the garden walk
when they have once become rooted
and grounded. Salt is one of the
remedies most frequently employed,
and the following is said to be the
best way of applying it: Boil the
salt in water, one pound to the gallon,
and pour the mixture boiling hot out
of a watering pot with spreading rose.
This will keep weeds and worms away
for two or three years. In subsequent
applications the solution may be some¬
what weaker. It will be as well to
take care that none of the liquid falls
on the garden mold.
lloitNchold Hints.
Varnish is death to the most offen¬
sively known house-bug.
Kid shoes may be kept soft an 1 free
from cracks by rubbing them occasion¬
ally with pure glycerine or castor oil.
A little saltpetre or carbonate of
soda mixed with the water in which
flowers are placed will keep them fresh
for many days.
Never sun feather beds. Air them
thoroughly on a windy day, in a cool
place. The sun draws th * oil and
gives the feathers a rancid smell.
A little kerosene oil rubbed briskly
over the spots on dark clothing will
brighten the garments, and reniovo
the soil almost like magic.
To clean gold jewelry with the
stones in, wash in warm suds made of
fine soap, with ten or fifteen drops of
salvolatile in it. This makes jewelry
very brilliant.

From General Fit* John Porter’s
account of the last of the Seven Days’
TintUes Hatt ies in m the tne '• century, miurv weouotethe \. e quote me
flowing: “While taking Meagher’s
brigade to the front, I crossed a por
tion of the ground over which a large
column had advanced to attack us,
and had a fair opportunity of judging
of the effect of but fire upon the ranks
of the enemy. It was something fear
ful and sad to comtemplate; few steps
could be taken without trampling up
on the body of a dead or wounded
soldier, or without hearing a piteous
cry, begging our party to be careful,
In some places the bodies were in con
tinuous lines and in heaps. In Mexi
co I had seen fields of battle on which
our armies had been victorious, and
had listened to pitiful appeals; but the
pleaders were not of my countrymen
then, and did not, as now, cause me to
deplore the effects of a fratricidal war.
“Sadder still were the trying scenes
I met in and around the Malvern
house, which at an early hour that
day had been given up to the wound¬
ed, and was soon filled with our un¬
fortunate men, suffering from all kinds
of wounds. At night, after issuing
orders for the withdrawal of our
troops, I passed through the building
and the adjoining hospital with my
senior medical oilicer, Colonel George
II. Lyman. Our object was to inspect
the actual condition of the men, to
arrange for their care and comfort,
and to cheer them as best we could.
Here, as usual, we found men mortal¬
ly wounded by necessity left unattend¬
ed by the surgeons, so that prompt
and proper care might be given to
those in whom there was a hope of
recovery. It seemed a3 if the physi¬
cian was cruel to one in doing his
duty, Ly being merciful to another
whose life might be saved.
“While passing through this im¬
provised hospital 1 heard of many
sad cases. One was that of the major
of the Tvvel th New York Volunteers,
a brave and gallant officer, highly es¬
teemed, who was believed to be mor¬
tally wounded. While breathing his
last, as was supposed, a friend asked
him if he had any message to leave.
He replied, ‘Tell my wife that in my
last thoughts were blended herself, my
boy, and my flag.' Then he asked
how the battle had gone, and when
told that we had been successful he
3aid, ‘God bless the old fla ’ and fell
back apparently dead. For a long
time he was mourned as dead, and it
was believed that he had expired with
the prayer left unfinished on his clos¬
ing lips. Though stilt an invalid,
suffering from a wound then received,
that officer recovered to renew his
career in the war, and now, for recre¬
ation, engages in lively contests of
political warfare.
“On the occasion of this visit we fre¬
quently met with scenes which would
melt tho stoutest heart: bearded men
piteously begging to be sent home,
others requesting that a widowed
mother or orphan sisters might be
cared for; more sending messages to
wife or children, or to others near and
dear to them. We saw the amputated
limbs and the bodies of the dead hur¬
ried out of the room for burial. On
every side we heard the appeals of the
unattended, the moans of the dying,
and the shrieks of those under the
knife of the surgeons. We gave what
cheer we could, and left with heavy
hearts. There was no room then for
ambitious hopes of promotion; prayers
to God for peace, speedy peace, that
our days might he thereafter devoted
to efforts to avert another war, and
that never again should the country
be afflicted with such a scourge, filled
our hearts as we passed from those
mournful scenes.”
African Forests.
In traveling through the great for¬
ests of the Rocky Mountains, or of all
the Western States, the broken branch
es and fallen trunks Strewing the
ground breast high with all sorts of
decaying litter frequently make loco
motion impossible. To attempt to
S ride through these Western for
ests, with their mesh-work of inter¬
locked branches and decaying trunks,
is often out of the question, and one
has to dismount and drag his horse
after him as if he were clambering
through a wood-yard. Hut in an Af
rican forest not a fallen branch is
seen. One is struck at first at a cer
tain clean look about the great forests
of the interior, a novel and unaccount
able cleanness, as if the forest bed
were carefully swept and diluted daily
| by unseen elves. And so, indeed.it
l9 - Scavengers of a hundred kinds re
move decaying animal matter-from
the carcass of the fallen elephant to
the broken wing of a gnat-eating it
or carrying :t out of sight and bury
ing it in the deodorizing earth. And
the Countless millions of termites per
form a similar function for the veg
etable world, making away with all
plants and trees, all the stems, twigs
and tissues, the moment the finger of
decay strikes the signal. Constantly
in these woods one comes across what
appear to be sticks and branches and !
bundles of fagots, but when closely
examined they are seen to be mere
casts in mud.

Is no reason for believing that the dO 1
feated candidates for the presidency
have had stronger physical constitu¬
tion or better health than those who
were elected, yet of the seven Presi¬
dents who have held the office in the
last 28years five are dead; two—Hayes
and Arthur— are alive; while of the
seven candidates for the different
terms in those 28years five—Fremont,
McClellan, Seymour, Tilden, and Han¬
cock—are alive, and only two—Doug¬
las and Greeley—are dead, TWO of
the Presidents died by assassination,
but as that was even more directly
in consequence of their holding the
office, it strengthens the proof. If we
go back of this period we find that
the defeated candidates fur the Presi
denev survived the successful ones,
*
Tr Van Buren died twenty-one years
after Harrison, ’ though ” but nine years J
younger. Clay, though a much
younger man than Polk, survived him
five years, and though only ten years
younger than Jackson survived him
twenty-three years. Cass was only

" • • ’
died sixteen * ’. ears after him, while
,, Gen. Scott, ,, though . eighteen ... years ol- ,
der than Pierce, survived him three
years. So that unless there is some
other known cause to account for these
discrepancies the most reasonalle con¬
clusion is either that the Presiden¬
tial office is not conducive to longevity
or that all, or nearly all, the defeated
candidates, as compared with their
successful opponents, happened to be
men of unusual vigor and vitality.
There is no reason for supposing that
this is the case.
