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.

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. • • Farm and llaltlfn Notes, Red clover is not suitable for beee, but the white variety U excellent for them-.

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.

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.

MALVERN HILL Terrible Scenes of UarBage or) the Battlefield. i Horrors of War as Depicted m Genera] fc Porters . , Narrative w .. of „ the , r Fight. . - 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.

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.

A western paper asserts that there 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 ’ * vmimmr b th ! ‘ .n T ‘ ,v 1 nr but " • • ’ 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. Incongruous Fifth Avenue. The people who live side by side in the pretentious avenue know each eth¬ er not says a New York letter. Knickerbocker and parvenu, the inheritor of wealth and the archi teet of his own fortune, the genuine gentleman and the vulgar snob, reside in the same block. One house is visi¬ ted by the best and most distinguish¬ ed; the house adjoining by men who talk loud in sucidal syntax, and women who wear holly-hocks in their hair, and yellow dresses with pink trim¬ mings. Here dwells an author whose works give him a large income; over the way, a fellow who has a genius for money-getting, but who cannot solve the mysteries of spelling.
