The value of sunlight and of free circulation of air is fully recognized by experienced orchard!sts, arid trees are now planted farther apart than ever before. The fact that "outside rows" in orchards bear the finest fruit has been seized upon in certain sections, and planters set their trees so that every row shall bean "outside row." This is done by planting two rows moderately close together, and then leaving a sjiaee of about sixty feet betwecu the second and JLkjtd-rOiV^?in ease of the apple orchard. Tnus we have alternately a wide space and a narrow one. This large amount of "waste space" may be utilized, while the the apple trees are young, by growing dwarf pears, or small fruits, or both, and thus yield a continual revenue.? Jieio York Tribune. KKMOVING t?I,D HEDGES. A great many farmers tolerate hedge:; where they arc no longer needed,because of the supposed great labor and difficulty i required to get theui out of the way. If ? ui uowii iucv sprout again, ana meir ; roots arc too strong to admit of plowing them up. To dig them out seems there j fore the only remedy,and this involves such heavy expense that we can hardly wonder ; if the job is often indefinitely postponed. I But there is a much easier way. During ! the winter cut the hedges as close to the j ground as is possible, and let the hedge | -ir ...T h Hdri'tiw mI tuumuit*(j r<tw i over the roots." Jtfcxt spring new sprouts J will start, and as soon as these are in full leaf, pile on a little straw and burn it. The hedge cut last winter will with very little help burn, and with it destroy the new growth. The next season the roots will be rotted sulHeiently to cgablc a good team with strong plow to rut them j up and turn over the soil. It is then planted with potatoes, for which the . mixture of ashes and rotten sod makes an admirable preparation. i^o inexpensive ! is this method that often the lirst crop of potatoes oil the irround redeemed from waste will pay all the cost.- American Cultivator. i V I v TAKING ("ARK OK MACHINEUY. Farmers should hear in mind the fact that rust destroys and wears fanujira chinery much more than the use in the field. There are eleven months' rust for one month's service, and as rrfsk wears more than the friction of the soil, the damage of use ir.ay he multiplied twenty- ! fohl. It results that ' machinery Aveit * eared for when storo.<,l ,fliay last twenty J times longer than iMt is 'neglected. Oil nlone will not prevent rust. It oxodizes i and really tends to cause rust by contact with the gum of jhe oxodi/.ed oil. A thorough cleaning istirst to he made with kerosene oil. This removes the gum ! ami 'he dust which collects upon it. , This dust is apt to contain germs which actually feed upon the metal as others do upon vegetable and animal matter, alive or dead, and eat into it and waste the substance. The kerosene 'destroys thdfce , and thoroughly cleanses the wearing parts, which should he taken apart for this purpose. A mixture of tallow, melted, with hlack lend ami sufficient kerosene to soften it, should he applied all over the wearing parts and all ex- j posed bright portions of the machines, and the machines covered up with shoe's I as carefully as a carriage should he. | ~~ ft-us eared for, a well-made machine will practically no* ._ | service.

One of the great edible luxuriiM of life is a supply of tirst-rate pears properly ripened, and this a luxury which conduces to good health, than which nothing is more desirable. Furthermore, a good pear-orchard is a delightful source of both .....i ......i;, a V'lll|u<j^iiu in aim ? m ? often yields more profit with less labor than a half-acre of grain. But to get a hearing orchard of choic pears requires time, good judgment and skillful treatment. There is no great amount of hard labor required, after the ground has been properly prepared and the trees planted, but the right thing must be done al the right lime: lien when the bearing time comes, there is a snap" for the owner. In preparing a pear orchard, we would tie particular in having the ground thoroughly silbsoiled as dcco as the holes >n which the trees are to be set, so there would be no basins under the tree-roots for holding water; and we would set standards only half as far apart say about fifteen feet as would be proper for standard orchard trees when in bearing; Hnd then would put dwarfs between these. The object of this plan is to get pears as soon as possible. Iron the dwarfs, which come into hctiring , much sooner Allan standards, then root the dwarfs <>ut as they get old and the standards reipiire the space.

Every barn roof should have a gutter J so as,-to pond the rain water out of tho barnyard. In addition, the old fashioned barn/urd- itself -can sometimes bo abolished with profit to tho owner. One of the host cultivators of fruit in Michigan never permits his orchard to bear any other crop than the fruit, after the third year, previous to which he raises hoed crops only among the trees. The good row is a wonderful machine ?utmost a creator; for, feed her ?40 worth of appropriate foods per annum, and she will furnish a family with more food than they can buy in other as palatable forms for ?l<io.

Tlwv Uiam,ia www money in whisky now than m nnythiug else, with tho exception of beer. They have ob? taiucd possession of most of tho big breweries of t'nc country, and their representatives are now looking into the condition of the distilleries and will make some purchases soon. "It is true. as reported in the despatches," ?ai<l Levy Mayer, attorney for tho syndicate, lliis afternoon, "that the Englishmen are *fter some distilleries. Options have been secured and tho business is lieing examined into very carefully. If this class of property is finally taken, a large amount of money will ae put into them ami a large number will bo secured. "There is no certainty, however, that the distilleries will l?? taken, liio internal revenue laws of this country are an uncertain piantity. They may l>o changed at any time. "Another fact that has been taken into -onsideraiion is tho agitation by tlie Prohibitionists, This 1ms kept tho English investors from purchasing many breweries and distilleries, notably the breweries in Omaha. On the establishments there options had already Ikvjii secured. In probing thoroughly into tho mat ter wo found that three of the States i>artially surrounding Nebraska had already voted in favor of u prohibitory amendment to their constitutions. Thl i would doubtless coiwlilernblo influence on the people of Nebraska, we reasoned, ami such was round ;o lie the case, for the proposition for a prolibltory amendment will l>e submitted to tho people of Nebraska in less than a year. Tho iplions on the Omaha breweries were therefore thrown up." TEMPERANCE IN EUROPE. The Illiio Cross Temperance Societ3-, which originated (ou years ago in Switzerland, and now has its branches in nearly every country in Europe, has recently held a great national festival in Switzerland.

Saved drunkards testified jiersonally to the eftleacy of (Jospel tein|Msrance methods, and men far Irom their mountain homes in Northern Europe, and even as far east as Jerusalem, telegraphed their sympathy with the work of thesoci^ty. Notwithstanding the language , difficulty, there was no confusion of ton ernes. Songs and speeches wore given both in French and t.erinan, so that all might juirticipate. "no of the shakers at the banquet toidof tiernum, wtio knew nothing or each others language, wanted to express their common faith, Croat was the difficulty, till at last the Herman burst out "Hallelujah," whereupon the Frenchman answered with a joyful "Alleluia," and their hearts overflowed. Upon this the vast assembly broke out into a rapturous "Hallelujah," giving glory to (!od for all His wonderful works to tho children o( men. CURES KOR DRUNKEN NICKS.

His body was flosli and blood, just like ours; Ho took such ? body that in it, fie might die and thusrlestroy him that had 11? power of death, that is, the devil (Hob. ii., 1|). Ho was born that He might die, that we being l>orn again through Him might never die, but have eternal life for both soul and b<uly. He was a wise child; one of His names is "The AVisdom of Go?l" (1 Cor. i., li-l) andas a child something of this wisdom was teen in Him.

The passover lamb was n typo of this very Jesus, tlio true passover sacrifice (I Cor. v., 7). it is evident from our lesson and from I Sam. i., 3, 0, that tho women as well as the men went up to at least some of these yearly feasts. 48.

"You mought as well give ns the hull truth about this thing," said the leader. "You mean to say there hain't goin' to be no water in the vinegar?"

Pretty women are not 90 scarce in the department that when they get hold of one they put her in a cage, but the ladies referred to occupy their little prisons in accordance with an old custom. Tho Comptroller of the Currency has decided to revive a system in vogue some years ago l?y putting a safeguard around the counters of money and isolating them in littlo iron cages. They are put in their prisons in the morning, large piles of notes are given them, and thero they sit all day long counting tho currency as fast as their fingers . can move. The only communication the ladies have with anv one outside of their cages is through a speaking tube connecting thorn with tiio Chief of the bureau.
