The violence done us by others is often less painful than that we do to on-selves. A man’s domestic relations seldom 1 trouble him ns much as the relations ■>f his domestics. To see plum pudding in the room is a far mere cheen'u! habit croaking at everything. No soul is desolate as long as there is a human being for whom it can feel trust and reverence. It is nowise to aim rt impossi bilities; it is a waste ef powder to fire at tho man in the moon. When a man is ashamed to look in a mirror it is a safe bet that his wife buys bis necktiea.

We take great pains to persuade others that we are happy than in endeavoring to be so ourselves It pays bettor to tell the truth and lose temporarily than to state false hood and lose permanently.

I turn-, i under n crop j of green pea vinos last summer; now will it need fertilizing with dimmer,ual manures this spring, or would you ad vise to rely on the pea vinos alone? Answer.— lt is no easy matter to re new the vigor of a young orchard that has 1 eon neglected, and the tree j con sequently dwarfed and stunted. Es pecially is this difficult where five soil is naturally poor, or partially ixhausted. Turning under the pea vines was of course beneti-ial, adding nitrogen and humus to the soil, but it w mid have been better to have left the vinos to die ou the laud before turning under, as you would iu that way have obtained bettor results, both in the way of nitro gen and humus. You cannot rely aloue upon the vines plowed under last sum mer, but this spring, and as early as possible, you must apply at the rate of 400 pounds per acre, a fertilizer coin posed of 800 pounds of acid phosphate, BUO pounds of k.duit, and 400 pounds of cottonseed meal, applying it more liber ally near and around the trees than else where Turn tins fertilizer under, be ing catvful iu doing s \ not to injure the roots of the trees.

This I clear space about the trees must bo kept ! free from grass and weeds, and the ground kept mellow with the hoe, through the growing season. Pick the i peas as they ripen, and in the early fall, plow under the dead vines, running ! your plow as deep as possible, always | being careful not to injure the roots of the trees. Repeat- the process next yoar, using the same fertilizer, and your land should then bo in flue condition, ud y ar trees restored to their lost vigor l have said nothing about the j “pruning,’' wixmlug " etc., which of course you understand, er you would V e call the attention of our read ‘ to ihe interesting details of our ibbmg proposition with '1 be At >nla Weekly Constitution, publisb tn full elsfcw'here- As will be seen, fhc joint price of *ur paper and Tl.?
