Choice or Fruit Treee.
Manv a dollar will be saved to the far
mer’s purse, aud many years of fruitless
waiting spared him, by attention to the
facts: that varieties are influenced by soil
and situation;—that experience of prac
tical fruit-growers in the same locality is
a valuable guide in selection, and that
local nurserymen should bo safe advisers,
unless self-interest impels them to work
off undesirable stock. Moreover, nearly
every state has one or more horticultural
societies, often subsidized by the state,
for the express purpose of gathering and
imparting just such information ns is re
ferred to. While self-interest may not al
ways be wanting here, it is kept well un
der and the published opinions of horti
cultural societies may always be consulted
with profit by those who contemplate
setting out fruit trees. — Profemir William

contagion in the Ktables.
Contageou* diseases of a most virulent
character may be perpetuated for an in
definite length of time by feeding horses
iu stalls where the disease has existed.
Os this kind we may mention glanders
and Spanish itch especially. Either of
those most fatal disorders may be con
veyed to other horses by feeding in a
stall where horses suffering with them
have been kept. To destroy the virus,
take a pint of sulphuric acid and put it
mabucketof water, ami with an old
mop wash all parts of the stall, especially
the trough and manger, as well as the
sides of the stall. Then put a few
pounds of stick sulphur in an old iron
pot, and, stopping the stable as well as
possible, burn it, so as to fumigate the
stable thoroughly, takingdue precautions
against fire. It is a good plan to set the
pot in a tub of water; then whitewash
with lime anil carbolic acid. This will
protect them thoroughly.— Spirit of the
Farm.
Treatment of Nheep.
There arc many reasons why the few
growers who still persist should abandon
the habit or washing their sheep before
sharing, and we know of not a single
argument in its favor. The practice was
inaugurated at an early day, and it is a
relic of old times, when the wool shorn
from the small flocks in the Eastern
States was largely used up at home. Then
it was necessary to wash it either before
or after shearing, to prepare it for card
ing or spinning. Those days are past,
aud both the sheep and the owners
ought to be glad of it.
The yolk in a healthy fleece is nature’s
preservation of the fibre. It is a soapy
matter, with a strong potash base, resem
bling no other animal secretion ; it is, in
fact, a soap, w ith more or less free oil. It
preserves the elasticity of the fibre and
should be left in the wool until it is
wanted for manufacturing use. Manu
facturers well know that scoured wool,
in time, becomes brittle and loses its
elasticity, while unwashed retains all its
good qualities indefinitely. It is doubt
ful if anybody ever saw a moth in un
washed wool. It is, as a rule, free from
all vermin. The percentage of yolk in
healthy flocks of even grade is quite uni
form, but varying in different breeds
from 25 per cent, in the Leicester and
other coarse breeds, to 50 to 75 per cent,
in the very finest Saxon, the bucks always
carrying more than the ewes.
The system of washing in cold water
on the sheep's back never results in a
washed fleece fit for the manufacturer,
but only the eradication of an unknown
and uncertain part of the yolk, contained
in the fleece, which is thus changed into an
unmerchantable commodity to be sold on
its uncertain merits as to shrinkage. The
name or designation of washed wool has
ceased to have any’ charm, and the sooner
the practice of washing is entirely aban
doned the better it will be for the sheep
and their owners and the. trade generally.

Intereatlus Experiment. with Oats.
Among other interesting experiments
conducted by Prof. 11. C. White, of the
I Diversify farm in Athens, Ga., under
the auspices of the State Commissioner,
and recently reported upon, was one test
ing the effect of different manures under
oats and of different top dressings.
The plot selected was a section of an
Oat field 825 feet long and 132 feet wide,
containing in all 2 1-2 acres. A strip 825
feet long and 4!) 1-2 feet wide was ma
nured in the fall with well-rotted stable
manure alone at the rate of 20 bushels
per acre. A strip 825 feet long by 33
feet wide was manured with cotton seed
alone at the rate of 20 bushels per acre.
A strip 825 feet long by 49 1-2 feet wide
"as manured with commercial fertilizers
(ammoniated) at the rate of 300 pounds
per acre. The plot was divided into ten
sections across the three strips, each sec
tion containing in all 1-4 acre, mid sub
di'ided into three parts, u containing
3-32 acres; J containing 2-32 acres, and c
containing 3-32 acre-. The top dressings
(including cotton-seed meal, acid phos
phate, nitrate of soda, sulphate of am-
Bionia and muriate of potash) were ap
plied at the rate of 100 pounds per acre
upon each section on the same day, im_
Mediately preceding a shower.
The conclusions arrived at, according
to the results presented in a table accom
panying the report, and hot given here
or '“ch of space, are:
First— Where no top dressing was ap
plied stable manure gave best results,
commercial fertilizer next best, and cot
ton -red much lower result’.
Second— Cotton seed does not appear
to be a good manure for oats, either with
or without subsequent top dressing.
Third— The largest yield, which was
1,518 pounds of grain and 2,742 pounds
of straw per acre, was obtained by ma
nuring with stable manure and top dress
ing with nitrate of soda.
By manuring with stable manure aud
top-dressing with muriate of . potash,
were gained 1,370 pounds of grain and
3,320 pounds of straw per acre. By ma
nuring with stable manure and top-dress
ing with kainit, were obtained 1,250
pounds of grain and 2,570 pounds of
straw per acre. Sulphate of ammonia ap
plied as a top-dressing with stable ma
nure gave 1,080 pounds of grain and 2,-
400 pounds of straw per acre.
skillful Cultivation,
Skillful cultivation should be the aim
of every one who raises plants and crops.
To make gardening and farming profita
ble, it is necessary to have something in
return for every stroke that is made, and
for every dollar invested. Even when
only a few house plants are cared for,
we expect to see growth and bloom in
repay for our care; if not, our interest
would soon be lost. We devote an acre
of land to a certain crop; it costs for the
season the interest for a year on the in
vestment made for it. beside the expense
of preparation, manuring, cultivating,
harvesting, marketing, etc. Our crop is
but half what it might be, or what good
cultivation has proved what might be
obtained. The time and expense of
preparation, of sowing, and of cultiva
tion, have been as much as for a full
crop, and the cost of harvesting and oth
er expenses but little less; but a part of
the land was too wet, and the planting
could not be done early, as it should
have been, and on the same account the
manure that was applied, though there
was not half enough of that, could only
produce partial effects; and so,from these
combined causes, we get back for our
season’s work, perhaps the expensesand
a little more. The interest and expenses
were SSO on the acre, and our returns all
told, amounted to SOO, giving a profit of
$lO. At this rate per acre on the whole
place, with what it provides for the
table besides, with great economy, one
may perhaps, live along for awhile, and
the land is growing poorer, and the val
ue of the first investment is lowered—
the place is running down. But at a lit
tle more expense in preparation, perhaps
$lO on the acre, enough to insure the
best results, making the whole SOO in
stead of SSO as before, the crop is twice
as great and perhaps further enhanced in
value by its superior quality’, All of this
success then, is profit—s6o or more, in
stead of $10 —an amount that makes
prosperity and success instead of failure.

Household Hints.
Tough meat is made tender by lying a
few minutes in vinegar and water.
Cold tea should be saved for your vine
gar barrel. It sours easily and gives
color and flavor.
To soften the hardest old boots or
shoes, apply the fat from roast fowls with
a cloth or brush.
If a child offends table propriety,
promptly send him out of the room and
let him take his meal alone.
Paint brushes may be cleaned perfectly
by’ putting into soft-soap for a day or
two, when the paint can be washed out.
Care should be taken that the soap does
not extend up over where the bristles are
fastened, as it will cause them to fall
out.
Recipes.
Stirred Bread.— One quart flour,
two large teaspoonfuls baking powder,
two teaspoonfuls salt, two eggs and sweet
milk to make a stiff batter; bake in a
loaf iu a biscuit tin. To be broken, not
cut, and eaten hot. Water may be used
instead of milk by adding a spoonful of
butter.
French Fried Potatoes.— Pare the
potatoes, cut in blocks an inch long and
a little larger than a lead pencil, soak in
ice water an hour, drain and dry with a
towel, have as much hot lard as you
would to fry doughnuts, put in as many
of the potato strips as will go in without
overlaying and fry until a golden brown,
stirring them up often that they may
brown evenly, take out into a colander
and dust lightly with salt.
Salad Dressing.— One heaping tea
spoon each of salt and mustard, two
tablespoons of thick, sweet cream, one
tablespoon of butter, three, of sugar, one
third of a cup of vinegar, the well-beaten
yolks of two eggs; add mustard to eggs,
beat well; add sugar, salt, cream; stir
ail well together and place over the fire,
and stir constantly until it thickens;
add vinegar last, jaiuring the dressing
over the salad ami mixing it well. This
is especially nice for cabbage salad, but
can be used on other salads also.
Bron Bread Pudding.— Six ounces
of stale brown breadcrumbs, six ounces
fresh butter, four eggs (the yolks and
whites whisked separately), one-half
ounce powdered cinnamon, one-half
pound coarsest brown sugar. Cream the
butter, then mix w-11 with the sugar till
quite smooth, add the well beaten eggs,
and stir in gradually the other ingredi
ents. Steam the pudding for two hours
or even more (it cannot be too much
done). When turned out pour melted
cherry jam over it and serve hot.
Reversing an Ox Team.
Lucie Pete Dugan, of Friendship,
X. Y., is one of the oldest engineers on
the Erie Railroad. He has followed
boating and railroading from boyhood
and is as ignorant of the country aud its
ways as if he had never been outside of a
city street. His wife and son Tommy
live on a small hill farm just out of town.
During the past week business has been
dull on the road and Uncle Pete has been
enjoying a short vacation with his family.
Tommy has a very tine yoke of oxen, and
is as expert in driving them as his father
is in managing a locomotive. On the
day after his father's arrival Tommy
yoked up his oxen for the purpose of
drawing a load of wood. Uncle Pete
was anxious to go with him and learn
the process of ••running the bullgines.”
The woods were about half a mile from
the house and up a steep hill. The up
trip passed very pleasantly and Uncle
Pete praised Tommy very highly on his
skill as a driver. When they were ready
to return Tommy fixed a secure seat for
his father on the load, where he could
hold on to one of the binding chains and
a stake to steady himself. As soon as
they were fairly’ headed for home Tom
■ gave the oxen a sharp cut with the whip
- and sent them scrambling down the road
I at a lively gait.
"Easy, Tom, easy,” said the old man
■ hugging closer to the load.
"Git up, Bright, git up Buck !” shout
ed Tom, giving them another cut.
"Easy, Tom. Drop ’er in easy, I tell
you, or you’ll ditch us as sure as thun
der.”
But Tom kept on plying the whip un
til they were dashing down the hill at a
full canter.
"Slack up! Slack up!” cried the old
man, pulling at the binding chain as if
giving the signal for down brakes.
"Can't slack ’em,” shouted Tom.
"Hang hard and you’re all right.”
They were now within a few rods of
the woodshed, and the old man accus
tomed to the guidance of the iron rails
saw no escape from smashing into the
building.
. Tom was still swinging the whip and
shouting at the top of his voice. Uncle
Pete became frantic. Catching Tom by
the arm he cried out:
"Tom, you break-neck villain, throw
’em over; for Heaven's sake reverse ’em
or we’re gone to smash.”
Tom brought up at the door of the
woodshed, with the oxen panting and
blowing like volcanoes. The old man
clambered down from his perilous seat,
walked around the oxen, eyed them sus
piciously and then confronting his son,
said:
“Tom, these machines may be all right
for light grades and short runs, but if
you have got the pluck to ride’em over
such roads as these without reverse or
brakes, you beat the old man, that’s all.”

“(’amp Meeting” John Allen.
John Allen, the famous Methodist
preacher of Maine, better known as
“Camp Meeting” John Allen, at
one time was acting as chaplain
of the Maine legislature, and
he was called upon to pray for the
Governor. Now, this Governor wasn’t of
“Camp-Meeting” John’s political persua
sions, so the chaplain naively prayed that
he “might be the best Governor the State
ever had, if possible.”
The worthy chaplain hit the legislators
themselves still harder. He prayed, “O
Lori], enable them to condense and be
able to stop when they get through.”
That was certainly a practical prayer, if
not of the complimentary stamp usually
offered on such occasions.
“Camp-Meeting” John Allen’s wife
was of opposite character to iier husband ;
she was very serious, even approaching to
solemness. The old gentleman liked to
get off his fun with her. One day, when
he was helping her into a carriage, she
said, somewhat sadly, “John, I ain’t as
buoyant as when I was a girl.” “No,”
quickly responded John Allen, “and I
ain’t so gallant as when I was a boy.”
One day a Baptist minister attended a
meeting of Methodist clergymen who
were discussing the topic, "The Method
ist Doctrine and Economy.” The visi
tor was courteously called upon and he
gave his opinion, that while the Method
ists doubtless accomplished agent deal,
there was too much machinery attached
to their economy. “Camp Meeting”
John Allen was ready for a tilt instantly,
and in his dryest tone replied that there
might be considerable machinery in
Methodism, but it didn’t take quite as
much water to run it as some other accts.
