F0K THE FARM AM) HOME, \ Kri'nplwr l'l'nlt Tiff., When hoeing in tho garden among fruit trees, snys tho New England Farm r, wo sometimes scrape off some of the loose, rough, mossy hark, hut wo do it more for a change of posturo or rest for the body, or to make the trunks look it little better, than with any expectation of helping the growth of tho tree. Wo lately came into possession of a neglected orchard, and theso remarks apply’ to this only. In our life-long oxpericnco in the care of orchard treos, we have found no occasion for spending any time scraping or washing the trunks of trees, or of slitting the bark to give the tree room to grow. The Ilurul New Yorker, alluding to this subject, says: “Pray don’t waste your time and strength in this way. If you give your trees good food to cat and plenty of it, and cut out while young all branches that interfere with cacli other, you linvo done all you can do to promote their welfare. Leave the rest to Nature.” The horticultural editor of the Country Gentleman also condemns the practirc of scraping, believing it renders the trees more susceptible to injury from cold in winter. lliiinlile ISc*» and Clover Steed. Maurice Thompson, state geologist of Indiana, and chief of the department of natural history in that state, well known as a literary and scientific writer, relates in a recent report the following interesting incident: “I made agood old farmer call me a ‘crank’ tho other day when I told him the reason his clover fields tiavc failed to hear as much seed ns they for¬ merly did. ‘You dou’t allow the humble bees to be killed on your farm, do you?’ I asked. ‘Yes, sir, I do,’ lie cried, ‘I make my boys burn up every plagued nest of them.’ ‘So I supposed,’ 1 re¬ plied. And that is why ycur clover seed fails you. Humble bees make clover seed. ‘You're a crank! You’re a crank 1’ ho exclaimed, and looked at me ns if ho thought I was a fit subject for a lunatic asylum. And yet it is a fact that a strong nest of humble bees, in a bigclovtr field, is worth $20 to the owner; for these insects arc the chief agents in fer¬ tilizing the blossoms, thereby insuring a a heavy crop of seed. In Australia there are no bumble bees of our kind, and they could not raise clover seed there until they imported some bumblebees.” Poultry Notes. The amount of satisfaction in a hobby is directly proportioned to the amount df thought devote 1 to it. Fowls should be well sheltered and fed when moulting or shedding their feathers; and tho male birds should bs separated from the hens, especially when their is quite a number of young crowers around, as there generally is about this time of the year. Que-balf the care and labor required to earn fifty dollars tilling some crop will produce that amouut for the farmer if bestowed upon his flock of fowls, if you propose to him to persistently neg¬ lect his best cow from one end of the year to the other, he will set you down as a candidate for a lunatic asylum; yet a common size flock of fowls, such as are kept at most farmsteads, will yield as much value yearly,if properly treated, as a first rate cow. Under a forcing system of treatment the best hens in the world will qu'ckly play out. You may get a large number of eggs within a given time, but the later layings will not give you average good chickens when you come to hatch such product. This result we have proved, beyond peradventure, in our past experience. Therefore, never force to any considerable extend your stock to lay an excessive or unnatural number of eggs, as it is exhausting, and will impair the vigor of the progeny. Good sash pulleys and weights are as useful and valuable in the new hen house you intend to erect as these things arc necessary in your well-ordered dwelling house. If you place movable saslics in your hennery at all, you will do well to remember the above hint, and thus save yonrsolf a deal of fussing and hard words because “the window will neither open or shut,” when you wish it cithef one way or the other. In winter time, such sashes at either end of the hen house arc liandy to help your ventilation. In summer they can be taken out to advantage aud the space | covered with wire screening .—American Poultry Yard.

A solution of boracic acid is excellent for fowls affected with sore head or eye’, It should be applied warm, using a soft sponge and marking the head, eyes and ! nostrils well with it. It is the same with an animal as with a steam boiler—the more complete the combustion of the food or fued it gets tho more satisfactory will be the remit, be¬ cause there,;, is less waste. Do not overfeed the young pigs. Let them make all the growth p^sible, but ^ do not attempt to make them fat. Fat in summer should be avoided. A good moderate condition is b:st. I Tho inju y that the crow does to corn ; pulling it up U not generally great j and can be easily guarded against. A more serious indictment is found in tbe fact that the crow is tbo greatest enemy of insect-destroying birds, whose nests it robs and whoso young it kills. Tho squirrel is also open to tho same charge. Haro you any occasion to dig up any soils along the roads'de, under the fences or in any part of the garden ? Save them. Spread a layer of sods and sprinkle on it a light dressing of potash (ashed) and bone, then another layer of sods, then ashes and bones, &o., until the heap is completed. This will give you a per¬ fect soil for flower pots. If y ur hogs lack material to build up their bony and muscular tissues, stipoo c you try an experiment and feed thorn lime, powdered bones, grass and oats for muscle. When you feed, see that every hog is present at roll call, anti always seek tho absent one, ns there is generally something wrong with him, and that i > the one to watch. It is well understood hy farmers that there is a joint worm that attacks barley ami often makes a light weight. It is similar, to, hut distinct from a joint worm that attacks wheat. It is believed, however, that the barley joint worm also, under some circumstances, attacks tho winter grain, and hence is suggested a caution against preceding wheat, with barley, which is quite common with tho winter wheat growing localities. Success in floriculture depends vastly more on the care bestowed, on the plants than on a large amount of money ex¬ panded. Yet, for all this, many people will yearly spend a great dual of money on high-priced and rare plants, afterward giving them no attention. A bed of geraniums, petunias, lantanas and other easily grown plants, if well cared for, will he more satisfactory than rare plants which require the care and attention of an expert gardener. The time to pick duck feathers, like fruit, is when they are rip3. This may ho learned by catching two or three and pulling a few feathers here and there. If they pull hard and the quills are filled with a bloody fluid, they are not rips; but if they pull easy and the quills are clear, you may know that it is tho “best time to pick.” Ducks may he picked four times a year. Never phi k the long tufts of coarse feathers on tho sides that support the wings. When conditi ns arc just right, onions will yield more bushels per acre than tho highest yield reported of potatoes. Tno rows are closer together than potatoes can he, and though they will not grow one above the other as potatoes will, the en¬ tire surface of tho ground in tho rows will he covered with many of the onions partially overlapping each other. In narrow rows little ot the surface of the soil will be bare, and 1000 bushels have been grown on a single acre. Household Hints. Boil coffee in a salt sack; this is better than eggs lor settling the coffee. The stovepipe can be cleaned hy put¬ ting a piece of zinc on the coals of a hot fire. Tho vapor producer! carries off the soot by chemical decomposition. A delicate glue for mounting ferns and seaweed is made of five parts gum arabic, three parts white sugar, t wo parts starch, and a very little water. Boil until thick and white. A medical writer says that the same knife should not be used for both peel¬ ing and slicing a pineapple, as the rial contains an acid that is likely to cause a swollen mouth and sore lips. Tho Cubans uso salt as an antidote for the ill effects of the peel. The secret in mashing potatoes is to have all the utensils as hot as possible, and beat the mass till light instead of pressing down smooth ancl solid, adding milk, buttermilk and salt at will. A de¬ sirable result is attained by rubbing the mashed potato through a hot colander and leaving it just as it falls into the dish. KecEpeg.

Pettegrew, a great Un¬ ionist, who, on being questioned after the secession of the State as to what he intended doing, replied: “Well, the State is going to the devil, and I’m go¬ ing with it.” Mrs. King was at that time one of the leaders with of society. Tliaokery remarked, rather more brusqueness duction than elegance, understand, on his intro¬ to her; “I Mrs. King, that you are ver? fast,” whereupon the brilliant woman, whose forte was re¬ partee, replied; “Ah, much Mr. Thnekery, we must not place too I informed confidence in what w e hear, for was that you were a gentleman.” It is said the pioud Englishman never forgot the re¬ tort of the high spirited Southern wo¬ man. This retort is quite equal to that of a bright woman of the West the other day. her A tactless lady came eagerly up to and said: “My dear, allow me to intro¬ duce Mr. Jones to you. Jlc says he met you sometime ago and was not favorably impressed with you. I wish him to know you better, and then I am sure he will like you.’’ The luckless man stood a flushing or unblushing (as you wish to .take it) plied: scrutiny.

"—Df W, tame, >ew Berae, N.U Training for Work, The idea of education is to train the mind so that its action may be rapid anil logical, its functions healthy and law abiding. storehouse becomes In accomplishing filled with knowledge this, the useful and pleasurable. Women’s education was, at one time, considered thorough when her mind had been trained to comprehend only the sentimental part of life; of its practical part she need not know anything. All this is changed. In those days she was not expected to study what her brothers delved into, to its depths. Her talents and aspirations were hedged about by conventionalities, bounding her ambi¬ tions on every side. Now the willing¬ ness to give her opportunities increases, and educational institutions invite her patronage. Universities and colleges prepare Iter for professional life; techni¬ cal and business schools tit her for liusi- ness and tiie trades, it is conscientious work the world needs, anil tiie more capable a woman is, the the more thoroughly desirable she prepares will herself, be, and more her work the more extensive her market. The world is fast finding out that, be¬ hind the gentleness and grace possessed by woman, there are just ns large stores of judgment, energy and thoroughness, and it is fast utilizing these resources. In bus¬ iness, success depends upon the value of the work one can do, and it is beneath the dignity of a true woman to appeal for patronge, simply because she is a woman. First tit yourself for what you would undertake, then patiently demand it, and you stand an equal chance with your brother. Tiie higher a woman aspires education. tho more extensive should be her If she expects to begin that long seige to enter a profession, the highest anil best law schools arc open to her; the faculties of our finest medical colleges receive her courteously; technical institutions will fit her for lithographing, wood designing carving, architectural work and for house decoration; business cofleges will teach education her a knowledge of accounts. either school An gained in will lay the foundation for an active, in¬ dependent life.

Women in War. The suffragists are waging war in the East. New York is the battlefield most exciting at present. Kenridge, a name familiar to Ledger readers, treats the subject in most felicitous fashion in a late issue of tiie New York Graphic. She says: “They want the spoils of war, but not its dangers; for how many do you suppose would be willing to do mili¬ tary service ? If forced to march against the enemy, they would look with more anxiety to the fit of their uniforms than to the conditions of their Swords and muskets. If the opposing army had some pretty good-looking men in front they might forget to tire at them until too late, or if the General came prancing forward on liis charger with a few mati¬ nee tickets the entire regiment would surrender at discretion. But take the most favorable view of the case—even that has its horrors. Imagine our noble band of suffrage infantry communing with each other on a battlefield in this wise: “Oh, Julia, come help me load this homed gun. Is there a trigger ? And where shall I put it ? In the barrel—oh. no, that’s where the leading bullets goes.” now,” “Nevermind up says Julia; the enemy’s over two miles oil. Here’s some caramels I found in my hav¬ ersack . ” “What nasty, sharp swords these are,’ says a third; “I’ve a good mind to throw mine away, and just use this sweet little silver dagger Cousin George gave me for a paper-knife.” don’t believe “I our caps tamo from Paris,’says a fourth; ‘they’re not tiie very lastest style for army use.’ At which there is a shriek of disgust, and the command to march being given, the ladies meander off to meet the enemy, feeling terribly depressed by this infor¬ mation ” Kenridge is so disgusted with her own picture that she feebly concludes: “De¬ fended by such soldiers, this land of the free and home of the brave wouldn’t be worth living in.” The Wrong Leg. Mr. Smitli had the rheumatism and the doctor failed to cure it. One day a friend asked leave to send a lady mind- curer to his aid. The lady came, boasted of-her exploits in her science, and, sud¬ denly cried: placing her hand on the patient's knee, “I feel it—the sciatica is all centered here!” — Mr. Smith eyed maddam,” the lady, quizzically. he said, “Excuse me, “but you’ve touched the wrong leg. The pain is all in the other one.” Bab falls anff-bamps its head. Baby bawls, they think its dead, Mamma gets St Jacobs Oil, Hubs tbe baby, stops turmoil.
