I'OPIOS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
1‘0 FARM AND GARDEN.

 

Point.- ln Tree-Planting.

A Western wrrter of experrence tells
us that success in trce~planting depends
more upon the proper performance of
the work, and on the weather during the
following season, than on the exact time
the work is done. Trees should be re~
planted about the same depth that they

rcw in the nursery; this is readily seen

y the earth—stain on the bark. Don‘t
twist. or crowd the roots into a small
hole. Dig a large hole, and spread the
roots out straight; till the earth well;
among them. leaving no cavities or ‘
spur es, and pack firmly. Mulchiugwitlr .
coarse manure. straw or leaves. is very.
beneficial to ucwlynplrrutcd trees. \Vuter-
lug in dry weather is es~cutiul. and it .
should be done thoroughly. for it wilifl
be labor lost if. done stingily. l

 

 

bloat Profitable Cattle to Feed.

Yearliugs that are well grown and E
2-ycar~olds are the most profitable cattle E
to buy for feeding. These may weigh9
400 to 500 pounds for the first, and 200 E
to t500‘pounds for the latter, if they";

. have beyn kept well. or onc‘fourth les‘ ‘

if otherwise. By feeding such as their
more weight can be put on them than 1
upon older rattle. Well-kept youngsters

from now until the same time next year.
Yearlings weighing 330 to 400 pounds.
may do better. weighing 300 pounds

after a year‘s feeding. A farmer who ‘
goes into a business of feeding purchased I
stock should have. a few hundred bushels

soil is only slightly moist dpring the hot.
dry season. It istho hahilrty to expon-
once cold rain: at. the” tints grapeuhould
ripen that makes this fruit so

in our Eastern States. Could . we have
uniform dry weather at this pprrod. there
would be warmth enough to npon_almost
any variet . While it is impossible to
prevent rain. we may yet greatly lessen
their cooling effects on the sort byspeedy
removal of surplus water.—-Bodon Outli-
cater.

 

Far-m and‘Gar-don Notes.

Save dry road dust for the hen houses.

Never smoke in barnyard or barn, not
allow others to do so.

After securing your crops see to mar~
kcting thorn profitably.

In setting out. rispberry plants, don‘t
bury their roots too (109”.

Do not leave farming: tools and imp-lo.
mcnts exposed to the weather.

Joseph llarris regards clover as the
great renovating crop of American agri-
culture.

\V. l). l‘lrilbrick snysthat pctatoes and
roots of all kinds keep best in pits out of
doors.

(‘ut down all worthless fruit trees.
They furnish harboring places for num~
berless insects.

made from good cnsilazze is to fly in the

Lee Chick San Chang. a merchant at
21 Mott street, captured by my mullet.
consented to introduce me to his vnk
and her boudoir, which I supposed
would be as interesting as the woman.
writes a New York correspondent of the
Detroit Tribune. llis store was in the
basement and his wife lived on the first
floor. I followed my guide through a
dirty. um arpeted hall to the door at the
farthest end. He rapped rather Vigor

which had no outside knob or latch.
After a while it was unlocked on the ra—
sivle, he pushed it open and we stood on
the inside. Almost in the rear of the
room with some sewing in her hand.
stood the woman I had tome to see.
She smiled at her husband and looked
at me without fear or surprise. but as :r
babe looks at a new object held before its
innocent eyes. Lee ('hick Sen Chung
spoke to her in his peculiar language.
and tin-n turning to me said; “31y
wife." Another moment and the little
brown Eugen covered with rings were
clasped in my gloved hand. and we were
looking; at Larch other as only two women
can. \‘hat sllt' said is left to the im-
agitrstiun. but this is what I gazed upon
with interest.
