I go* me^y tiun eader and faster, picking and Mlling the fralt, than at any other time in my life. The treea were large, and I ooold aet a lad- der in a good spot and get a barrelfol with- out moving it.

Oankeiworma were in the orchard, the trees liad not been trimmed, and the farm had not paid it» way for some time. Ha palled ont half the tre«a, gave the others a good praning, sprayed with Paria green once a week for a mouth, and harvest- ed 1,400 barrels of aa fine applea as ever were seen yon coald hardly find a wormy one, H? expects to have s«me thcnaands of barrels thL} year, as many of the trees had b66n M stri]^^ by cankerworma fai '34 thak they did -not bloasom in in '85 ^«t seem sar« ' for this season. Mr. Allen pkiBghed --^ raised beans and some other tpig ^^^i] between part of the trees, pat on what b^' manure there^ was on the farm, but w ' made the most snrprising rcsnlt was ti^" ' spraying. The thiiming and pmnin^r va' T ' jnat as necessary. If you think you caaap' spend time to tpray the trees but eoea.

The purple should ba wet like paste before putting it in the larrel, and then it will mix easily and not float on the water. Profesacr A, J. Csok, who first showed the value of this remedy, urges great care upon those who use it do not turn stack into the orchard till after a heavy rain has washed all the p9isen from the grass cnder the trees. k|7dttiMash ttl «,^widliadbeeii: â- till aiowly mdt- sniiaoe of the ^w f er folly a by many toi««iv"'?S223|' ttw fiae atttn Tartaighl, I 4iiraaA mora «bandant new smw*. lodde- and thafr in many inatanoea rsvltaetf k i,^ presslani whioh several yaara aj^oMRi. ^y plowed arvBow too wat and spitagy.

A man was one day making a trip en » « mixed" train on a Cioadianr jad. Passes on these trains is never taken except en journeys of considerable length walking is as easy and much faster for short distanoes. On this eooadon the movement was much more deliberate than usual and the pasaan-- ger called the conductor to his seat and said " Isn't tbis motion pretty slow '"' • Well, we aija't flying, I'll admit. Sure ever/ 'ng is all right ' "Ith^nk-^ 2 Kdl" .hem myself." ' creek back so that they lays the egg ii nen hatohed eate ita Sheep. This is the season of the year when sheep need speolal care, partioolarly the ewes that are in lamb. Some farmers are in the habit of allowing thehr sheep to roam over the pastures early in the spring, and do not realize that the meagre quantity of grass they get does them little good, and that ba- ins constantly on the move in search for It they lose flesh. They should be tnmed out only for a short time each day. when the weather is not stormy, and they should have an allowanoo of grain dally while changing from dry food to grass. By proper attentiqp at this time of year, they will be strong aa thrifty when finally they are left on pasture A pint of com or oata each day along with their, hay will mabitain the strength of the sheep and keep them in good flesh. It will be found much better to keep the ewes in the yard until the lambs have gained strength enough to follow their dams easily when placed with the rest of the flock, otherwise they will not make the growth they should. It is a good plan to give the ewes extra feed while they are suckliiig their lambs, so they will provide a full supp'y of milk. Those who make a specialty of breeding atcck for exhibition give their animUs the beat oare and attention, and succeed in ao- complishing that which the ordinary farmer would not believo te be possible. It is ad- mitted that snch animals, by living in arti- ficially heated buildings, and being fed on prepucd food, as well as having been doiely faibr^, we sometimes lacking in vitality, and prove faUniea when \a. the hands of the farm^. But thoroughbred stock is not in- tended for general farm purposes. Their true mission is to improve the common stock. The common stock by constant sub- i action to the weather and changeable diet, beoome hardy and vigorous, yet lacking in dedrable qualities. The blending of the blood cf the thoroughbred with that of the mongrel will therefore bel best for the farmer, and enable him to keep superior stock with- out resorting to artificial methods for so doing.
