Wherever the spade strikes , against a root a wound is made, and then ? suckers form, and the habit, once ac- ^ quired, it is very difficult to stop. The , best course, as the trees are too large to | remove, would be to clear away the soil j around the suckers, and trace them to , their source, and cut them clean away , with a sharp knife.?(ianlening Hint- ( trnUd. ( SHEEP I.OSINU Til Kill WOOL. | Oldest sheep are apt to lose wool from t their bellies if grain fed, especially in < feeding with corn. The cause is indiges i tion from over feeding. This produces I fever, and the extreme heat under the sheep when lying down destroys the tihre of the wool, and loosens it from the skin. v ' 8hwP corn? clumps of wool are loosened from nil parts of the body. Such sheep are utterly worthless for keeping. After lingering through the winter their owner has their hides and some very poor wool in the spriug for their keep. The experienced sheep breeder will not keep any sheep longer than six years, and he will not feed any sheep with corn except those he is fattening, and even thou with great caution. ?Burton f'ultirotor. CAItK OK CHICKS. A little forethought saves much afterthought. When little chicks come out they do very well in May and the earlier part of June, but as the hotter days of July and August crowd on us, they need attention. In day time they want shade and grass, and at night plenty of fresh nil- Tlu.u silt..ill.I In- Ici'iit in i*li?nii houses Iry and freshly whitewashed.

MEAT AS \ KKKTIt.IZER. ^Vlint are called animal manures are far more powerful than vegetable , manures on account of flic large amount I of nitrogen which they contain.

In a few weeks the heap should he turned over and broken up fine, adding fresh earth to cover the whole when flic mixing is completed. There is no doubt some loss of valuable fertilizing elements by boiling the meat; still, the refuse matter, if properly composed, is worth much more per ton than the very best stable manure.?New.

If color is desired, burnt 1 s umber will give a light brownstone tint, t which is very agreeable. Another wash consists of half a bushel of lime slacked with boiling water enough to cover it tive inches deep; when the lime is quite o slacked it is diluted with water, in which K two and one-half pounds of sulphate of ! t zinc and one pound of common salt are f dissolved.

Clean your oats before sowing. Oct your onions in as early as possible. To have tender lettuce don't sow thick, j Use hemp twine this season if you can j get it. A loose, slack-looking apiary is unpar- 1 dutiable. * To secure cells above a full stock, you | must use perfect excluding zinc. The boy on the farm is entitled to more ; consideration than he usually gets. Karlv spring is the best time to begin preparations for the autumn fairs. flood tools are essential to good fanning, a saving in time and cost of labor. Don't have fear about frost hurting early grass seeding, for it don't work that way. It is always late to sow grass seed after the first few favorable days in spring have passed. The difference between the cost of production and net price received, is what constitutes the farmer's profit. What arrangements have you made to make the work of your wife less the coming season than it was the lost? Sheep husbandry is a very poor'busV ness for a farmer who is not acquainted with it and has little aptitude for learning. Never take a boy away from school because he knows more than the teacher--" ! j'ist get a teacher who knows more than j the boy. Knongh sheep is absolutely required? enough to restore jaded faculties?and failure to get it is sure to be followed by loss of powers. Our country is large, and its interests are varied; but it is not too large for brotherly affection to exist between its most widely separated parts. A farm horse that steps briskly at. the plow, or harrow, or mower, is worth much more than another equally good in appearance, but a slow poke.

There is nothing that arouses the anger of bees and causes a quicker resentment than crushing them between combs and under hive covers. By using some kind of mat over the frames, a large part of this difficulty will be removed. A Camp of (irnss Huts. Osmun Digna's camp at Hnndouh, whence he recently retreated to Tokar, was composed mainly of grass huts.

"The first day of unleavened bread, ivhen thov killed the natwover." Tlie laalday on earth In a mortal body bad come; this night He would keep the jmssover with His disciples, end on the morrow he crucified? Christ our passover sacrificed for us (I Cor. v., 7)?and He went forward calmly, unwaveringly, knowing every gtep of the way beforehand. It was over fourteen hundred years since the first pnssover was kept that light in Egypt, when by the blood of a lamb the first born of Israel were saved from death and the nation brought forth from their bondage by the outstretched arm of Jehovah, ami now the l^anib of God to whom every sacrifice from the lieginning pointed is about to be slain, whose blood saves from eternal death all to whom it is applied, and who shall yet accomplish for Israel a greater deliverance than that from Egypt. We can not think of His omitting n single nossover feast since first Ho went up to Jerusalem with Joseph and Mary at the age of 12, when Ho uttered His first recorded words: "Wist ye tu>ss?" Faithfully didtfe ^wp^tJ^Tiat business, not seeking His own will or glory, but in all things pleasing the Father, and soon wo shall hear Him say to His Father: "1 havo finished the work which Thou gavest me to do."

"He will show you a large upper room furnished and prepared; there inane ready for us." This indicates the man's cheerful and willing service; he did not do as little as [ heeould; lie did not say. Well, if I give the use of a room that, is all He ean expect oftne, but, like Mary, in the previous lesson, he did ! nil that he could, he gave a furnished and prepared room.

Matthew says, "he tlin dinpeth his hand with me in the dish," whic might imply that Judas was sitting or reclii ing near to Jesus; he also tells us tnat Juds then said: "Master, is it It" to which Jesu replied; "Thou hast said," thus finally point lug him onl before thetn all, for the time ha come, as it will surelv come, sooner or Litei to all like him. For further light on thi particular moment at the feast read Job xiii.. 24-.10. 21.
