FARM AND GARDEN Orchard Management. A writer in the Canada Ilortieulti/rht gives good a brief statement of hi* simple and orchard management. His frees stand in grass; but tho following ani¬ mals have the run of the orchard: Eleven vugs, hens—the sixty turkeys, pigs averaged fifty ducks and 1,0 lie had fifty ”>00 pounds each, bands of pears, all of the Flemish Beauty y*. p i favorite was a good pear, lie er arge apple crop. There was no pear blight. A Weil grazed pear orchard, with plenty of animal dropping*, is good treatment, much better (hati meadow grass. For this reason pear trees yill do well in closely shaven, win ter-dressed lawns. - Hog Pastures and Hog Itanga vw 1 .«tov f r | » , „ n , m „«ib.,( f , nog*, hut hie.se pasture* cannot he planted in the pine lands of the South aosiltcessfully But white clover as in the West and North. grows well in portions of the pine lands, and red clover will grow on these lai d* when they are well limed. But lucerne will grow on the e lands, and lespcdeza is a pretty good substitute, for clover jiasturage. flogs commence grazing leaped or. a in March, and ill some places in February, and they feed upon it until the hard frosts of November.

From an exchange we clip the follow- ing euie for gapes iu chickens. It is surely a simple remedy and worthy of trial. The lime dust treatment is the bo 3 t of all cures for gapes in chickens. It is cheap, whole simple and chickens effective. I put a brood of in a peck measure barrel partly with lillod a bag with over air-slacked the top. lime, Aj 1 'as dry ns powder, was turned on Us aide, and the lime was stirred with a stick until the whole barrel was filled with lime floating in the air. The chickens were put into this, with the hag over the mouth of the bnrrel. They were put into lhe dust three times, not more iIihii h minute each time. They should lie kept in the measure all the time. We let one brood stay in too long anti lost live out of seven. The wind- pipe* of than the half dead tilled chickens with Mtofgand more gape worms, which made it more difficult for them to breathe. My little son, seven years old, treuls his chickens in this way sue- cessfuily. The lime can be sl icked with water and then allowed to dry ao as to powder. will A lot of lime thus prepared last for years for this purpose. — Farm, Field and Slock man. Selecting Fruit Trees. In ieloctiug fruit trcoi for planting lor domestic supply ono may choose tho bast varieties irrespective of appearance or of prolificacy of yield, for the popular and most salable fruits are not by uuy means of the best quality, and those ■which yield largely, although the quality is inferior, are preferred for sale before bettor ones that are less productive, The same remark will apply to the small fruits, of which the finest qualities tiro cither too soft for shipping or not sulti- ; cieu ly productive for profit. Two or ,three trees of a kind, and varieties that bear successfully from the earliest to the 'latest, should be chosen for homo use; and then for sale one kind only will bo found preferable to several or many. In regard Duchess to pears, an orchard of 2000 dwarfs lias always fouud one single purchaser for the fruit at prices fifty per cent, in advance of the regular market rates, because the whole lot of fruit could be made even in quality and the grades packed separately, and all the packages with were alike. It is the same Pippins apples; an orchard of Newtown advance for solely has its crops engaged in ten years on a regular con. tract, and another of Northern Spy is under contract in the same way. Had these orchards been made up of twenty or forty different kinds the product would have been peddled about.— Few York Tina*. Docking Horses’ Tails. Ilenry Hergh, tho late President of tho American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, wrote as follow*: “I regard the do king of horses’ tails as one of the worst forma of cruelty, not so much on account of the pain iutheted in cult ng the tail* off, though that must be considerable—the tail being a continuation of the vertebral column— !‘ ie HU ! nia ! iS thUS d T‘J ed bl. l ^ y 7 , P rote ®‘ ln .S if n , ®° it W ™ Ql ? 1 ' , bruoh'in'g the fltf flom^ff "hi.Tad o | his nose t Would not the torture bo great l A person suffering from such a deprivation would realize the cruelty of cutting o !' a horse’s tail. “The people who resort to this prac¬ tice arc simply aping a fashion that has come from England. They that the sometimes use as an argument horse's tail gets over the Hues, and that is annoying. If a horse has a 11 y or an insect on his back, biting and worrying him, he naturally swings his tail aiouud io rid himself of the aggra- vation, and in so doing he will some- limes get the tail over the lines but I do not think a little annoyance of that kind is a sufficient excuse to indict such a suffering “This on the animal. horses' cutting of the tails is one of those ddales of fashion that to my mind is simply hideous, and 1 am •orry to say that it is done a« much now as forme;ly. The society is doing all it can to prevent it. If we found any man engaged in docking horses’tails we would cause his arrest, for we could proceed against lum for such au offense as that, A ve terinary surgeon, however, who will **p hl-le operations of that kind will go \ and w ithout any previous no- __jill dock a horse's tail, and of Worse we have no means of catching him in the act of doing so; the work § done in (he seclusion of the * table.
