1ST RELATIVE GARDEN. Ine as Fertilizer. _ _j Were small, says a cor- f # the Rural Nm York er. I bting peas and turning • w .<iw» uuuir while green. It took but tone or two trials to satisfy mo that the cost was greater than the benefit re- ceived. I then tried planting Inter, al- IbWiUg the vines to mature and die upon the grouna. This proved much mo-re satisfactory, ai (the peas gathered paid 'for seed and labor, wliilo tho land was ar® 5 *'* • left !n much better condition. About 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 grown successfully. The method I fol 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. less than if they ,,. . ... fy-. . W were of the largest.’ 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. 2. Uniformity in size should .be pre served throughout as well as possible, except that when opened ono head may show slightly above and the other slight ly bolow the general average.—Ntv> York World. 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. Six poor apples will ailect tho grade of an entire barrel. On the farm, as elsewhere, misfortuno is the shadow of carelessness. Tho laurel needs special care to induce it to grow away from its native wilds. To obtain the best results plant, rhu barb not nearer than three feet apart each way. A good picture of folly would be a man burning tho straw his land had I grown. j Lime, gravel ard bones should always be kept where the fowls can easily get all ■ they wish. I Do not storm and fret. Be quiet and ; kind, and tho horse will bo so too, in most cases. i It is noticeable that the large majority of vicious horses are handled by bad- tompered men. Sulphate of iron is reported ns the most popular of all remedies in Frauce against mildew. | A leading apiarist of Canada thinks that granulated sugar should be used for I feeding bees, ns it is safer than to risk feeding cheap sugar. The common red clover is better than the large for general purposes. The lat ter is difficult to cure, make3 coarser hay and is more apt to become musty. Plant grape vines, raspberry, black berry, currant and all kinds of trees from October 1 to December 1—tho earlier the better. Notice how much greater growth they will make next season than tho;o plautcd next spring. 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. Thirty years or less ago it was the iSlllfltl fr» ‘hll’iplf” linvaoci' tnilo na nrnl 1 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, adorned by elaborate hand-tooling on the backs and outside and inner mar gins of the covers. The edition was j printed in London, and contains tho famous Commentaries by William Dodd, LL.D., “Prebendary of Brecon and l Chaplain in Ordinary to His Majestry,” who was executed f >r forgery in 1777. The books and property of tho Juliana Library were sold by auction in 1848 to satisfy claims against it, and the three volumes were purchased by William Heitshue. Among other valuable relics of this ancient library is the copperplate of Thomas Lenn, engraved in 17.51 by Martin, ono of the p:oneer copperplate engravers of this country, the drawing of the portrait being by an artist named Davis. This plate is in the possession of John P. fcliaum, who refuses all of fers to permit impressions to be taken from it. fearing that it may be lost or injured.—New Yoik Hun.
