this time I secured seed of the Conch pea,
which I continued to use until the trees
were too large to permit of its baing

lowed was to keep tho ground
thoroughly Cultivated until about tho
first of June, then mark olf in checks
three feet each way. When the ground
is thoroughly moist, plant two seeds in
each check, allowing but one plant to
the hill when well established. This
pea would'cover tho ground if planted
twice distance apart.- The advantage of
close planting is that they will cover tho
ground in half the time, saving much la
bor in keeping the ground clean until
the vinSs cover it. By planting in checks
the cultivator or sweep can bo run both
ways, leaving but little to 1 e done with
the hoe. If the ground is kept clean uu-
til the vines cover it, very little grass or
weeds will grow, the pea-vines forming :l
dense ma c s of vegetation, and taking tho
best of care of the grove until the fol
lowing February, when tho soil will bo
found soft and mellow, and the vines
sufficiently decayed to break up easily
with the cultivator or plough. It will
be necessary to go over the grove once
each week to keep the vines off the
orange trees. But little seed will bo
produced, enough, however, to in part
pay the expense of planting.

Another and still better reason is that a
buyer may in this way have the opportu
nity of seeing a sample of tho smallest as
well ns of the largest and best.
Extremes, however, should be avoided,
and unusurflly large and fine apples
should be packed by themselves, as be
fore intimated, and form an extra fine
quality to be sold for a fancy price, and
quito small ones should not be packed at
all. Only good, fair si; cd and merchant
able apples should go in as No. 1, and
tho small size should be packed as No.

Swine.
_ A paper read by Theodore Louis, Louis
ville, Wis., at one of the AVi’-consin Far
mers’^ Institutes contained the following
practical suggestions od the raising of
swine: Clover, green or in a dry state, is
always of first importunce. The near
futuie will probably develop the fact that
the silo will enuble the farmer to winter
his swine at less cost, and insure them
with health and vigor. Squash, pump
kins, rutabagas and mangles will cheapen
the cost of production and add materially
to tho growth. Bran, middlings, ground
oats, of equal parts, steamed and fed
warm, will be found profitable feeding,
as to growth, development of muscle and
bone. If oil meal is added, well cooked,
one pound to twenty, it will fill the bill
of fare for milk and a large proportion
of nitrogen. Where buttermilk is fed
in large quantities, one pound of oil
meal, well cooked, added to every
hundred pounds of milk, will increase
the feeding value highly. Buttermilk is
slightly constipating, but tire oil meal
will remedy this. The food should be
as nature left it—sweet. Sour, decayed
swill is poison. Salt should always be
placed where swine have access to it in
their yards or pens, in troughs or shelves,
not on the ground in barnyards, as it
will absorb the poison of yards. Two
bushels of charcoal, broken into fine
particles, one-half bushel 6f wood ashes,
eight quarts of salt, well mixed, one and
ope-qnarter pound of green copperas,
eijlyjr dissolved in water or ground fine,
pihXed with the above, should always bo
-—mi a self-feeding-box, with a good cover
on it, whore swine can have free access to
it. When high feeding of carbonaceous
and concentrated food is resorted to in
time of fattening, soft sandstone, brick
dust, or even dry clay, will bo greatly
relished—in fact all the above ingredients
are essontial to aid digestion and kill
intestinal worms. I consider ground
food, as a rule, the most economical.
Farm and Garden Notes.
Damp quarters cause roup.

I Do not storm and fret. Be quiet and

ROUSES’ TAILS.
The Reason Why They Are Long in
tho Cavalry.
Asa woman’s hair is her crown of
glory, so the horse’s tail is his sceptre of
grace, says n writer. It is a noticeable
fnot, and one wosthy of comment, that
never m the history of our army have
the toils of the trooper's horses, nor of
those of tho light batteries, been med
dled with. Not so with the tails of
horses Beon in haunts of fashion. The
custom of docking their tails is now car
ried to an absurd extent, and ultra fash
ionables leave their faithful slaves Scarce
ly any tails at all. It now seems proba
ble that it will end like that of the farm
er’s dog whose tail was out off just be
hind his ears.

Relics of William Penn.
There is in possession of the Heitsliue
family of 1 ancaster, Perm., an edition
of the Hible in three folio volumes, on
the l;d of the first volume of which, in
large gilt letters, is this inscription:
THE (SIFT
of
Tho Rt. Hon’ble
LADY JULIANA PENN
to
THE JULIANA LIBRARY,
At Lancaster.
Juliana Penn was the wi’As of Thomas
: Penn, William Penn’s son, who was one
i of the proprietors of . Pennsylvania in'
; 1770, the date of the publication of the
j Bible. The Juliana Library was tho
third public library to be founded in
! America, it having been chartered in
17(38. It was named in honor of l ady
, Penn, who was a daughter of tho Earl of
Pomfret, aud she recognized the fact by
; presenting the Bible to the library. Tho
volumes are 11 inches by 174 inches in
I size. As specimens of the binder’s art
these books arc magnificent. They aro
as to "dock,” or cut them oft’. Tho de-
pressory muscles wore sovered after the
removal of about two-thirds of the tail
itself, aud the mutilated stump was ele
vated by means of a rope attached to a
weight, passed through a pulley in the
ceiling of tho stable. This, while pos
sibly excusable in the treatment of
horses that kicked and became danger
ous when their tails were thrown over
the reins in driving, was, ns a rule, a
cruel nud a senseless custom.
Somo horsemen claim that “docking”
improves deficient quarters, a claim
which is easier to make than to estab
lish.
The horse has been aptly liked to a
ship; his bend represents the bow, his
body the hull and his tail the rudder.
The eye is the lookout and the prompt
obedience of motion to that indicated
by the quick movement of the toil, is
more rapid Ilian that of the most faith
ful Ixion. The folly of the votaries of
fashion is greater than they dream of,
their lives even sometimes paying tho
penalty.
The body of tho horse is inclined, per
haps imperceptibly, but none the less
surely, toward the point to which lie de
sires to direct his course. The head i3
turned, also, more or less in the same
direction, tho tail inclining towa d an
opposite course and tho long hair flows
outward, gently favoring the grace of
movement. A “swish" of the tail
when suddenly changing direction at
speed, aids tho horse in maintaining his
balance anil enables him to turn quickly
and gracefully. In his employment by
tho civilians, in such sports as require
speed anil obedience, the animal’s abili
ty to move quickly in changing direction
is sacrificed to gratify a senseless whim.
The polo player is mounted ou a pony,
agile and willing to answer his master’s
slightest wish. # He is fleet, active and
well-trained, but, deprived of his steer
ing apparatus and when he needs it
most, must flounder like a shin that baa
lost its rudder. Very probably tho re
cent accidents at the polo games at New
port would not have happened if tho
ponies had not been “docked.”
Who aio the best riders in the world?
The Cotnanches. Do they dock their
ponies’ tails? No, they are far too wise
and cunning to do anything so foolish.
True, they sometimes clip a pony’s ear,
but that does not percoptibly impede his
movement. Inquiry and research fail to
show that horses’ tails aro cut off in any
cavalry regiments in tho world.
Snjrgestlons About Packing Applrs.
In packing apples the practice is to
face two rows of fair, sightly apples,
stem down, against the head, to bo
opened when otic red for sale, as in this
way they look better when the barrel is
opened than if they were put in last and
pressed down by the head. After tho
apples, in what is to be the opening end
of the barrel, are properly arranged, it
may be filled up by laying the fruit in
indiscriminately, but small or imperfect
apples should all be kept out. The
barrel should be packed as full as it
can be made to hold, and a little gentle
rocking is allowable, as the filling pro
ceeds, to assist in settling them uni
formly. The last apples put in should
come up above the croze in the barrel,
so that when the screw is used to put the
head down into its place the packing
will be tight enough to prevent any
shaking or movement of the apples when
the barrels are handled. Tne pro.ier
degree of pressure to be applied can
only be learned by experince, but it is
quite as often too little as too much.
It is worthy 'of note that apples
slightly bruised or indented by tho press
ure of tho heads do not ordinarily rot
from that cause, while if injured to tho
same extent in some other way before
they were barreled they woulil do so.
Tho difference is probably owing to the
continued pressure; as it is genera ly
believed . apples keep better under
pressure in the barrel than when laid in
loosely, or when put into bulk previous
to barreling.
It is advised, when packing apples in
barrels, to make first and second quali
ties, nnd in cases where there is a small
portion of unusually large fruit, even a
third quality. In this way uniformity
in size, which contributes greatly to tho
appearance, can be preserved, and,
while one quality will sell higher than a
lower one, the aggregate amount re
ceived will bo larger than when large,
medium nnd small apples aro packed
together.
It is sometimes advised to pack both
heads alike, so that when opened each
end shall show courses of the best ap
ples, stem upward. A more general anil
far better way is: After tho apples have
been laced to the head standing on tho
ground and the barrel is filled up to the
croze, to finish up with apples that will
well represent the smallest ones the bar
rel contains. Two good reasons can be
given for so doing. One is that as the
apples are to be pressed down small ones
will lie closer together and pack down
better under the pressure of the head
than largo ones will, and if a few nre
squeezed too hard the damage will be
bound in fu 1 Russia leather, and" are j Presidency,

Dear Sir: In April, 1885, while thinking of taking
orders in September, I suddenly received notice that
my ordination examination would ho held in a fort
night. I had only ten (10) days in which to p»eparo
for the Exam. I should recommend a //ear’s prepar-
the gist of any book after reading it once. I there
fore read Lightfoot, Proctor, Harold Browne,
Mosheim, &o , &c., once, and was successful in every
one of the nine papers. The present Bishop Of Eden-
burg knows the facts. Faithfully yours,
m [Rev.] James Middleton Macdonald [M, A.].
