AGRICULTURAL 9TOPICS OF INTBRESr RELATIVE , " TO FARM AND GARDEN, I PASTURING RTB IN WINTER. Rye may profitably be pastured by *u?ep In some of the Southern States, but in _ - . tha North, where cold withers its leaves, they ere not worth enough to offset the fntohing of the ground that is sure to occur in midday even in cold weather. If, however, the rye is getting too large a growth pasturing with sheep or calves is necessary. If there is auy danger of its getting into joint it becomes tender, and a slight amount of cold destrovs tho or on - v r ? as it would of the most tender vegetable. ? JK . ? **" APPLE WOOD FOR FCEL. In most Old orchards there are some trees that have become stunted, and except with extraordinary attention will never pay their way. The better plan is to dig them out root and branch and use them for fuel. The extra care concentrated on the remaining trees will bring far larger returns. Most orchards are planted much too closely for the best results. Where the tree was dugout fill in with rich dirt from the roadside, and the trees on all corners from the old one will I much they appreciate tho wider range given their roots. Apple tree wood snakes excellent summer fuel, and is cs- I Specially rich in potash. , FLOWER TOTS. It may be well to remember that there are other uses for old fruit-caus than feeding them to goats or filling gutters; they are just the things for home plants of many sorts. They will retain moisture much longer than an earthen pot of the vainc diameter on top; thty hold more soil, consequently a larger plant can be grown in the same sixed pot. We have seen all manner of house plants, including hyacinths, in the windows of ordinary farm-houses, growing in tomato cans, that would put to shame many of our florists' productions, and mainly because the plants were in better quarters than in porous earthen pots. Try tin cans, after pounding holes in the bottom for drainage, painting them nicely, not red?but some neutral tint that will not detract from foliage or flower?and mark the result.?Nexo York Obtercert " f v ONIOX CULTURE. Twelve years' experience in raising onions, and no trouble from maggots and worms. I have sown and raised on the same piece for six years, and the crop grew better every year. When the time comes to sow onion seed in the spring, generally about the last of April, as early as the ground will work, I spread on thickly rotten manure, plow it under, and then rake the ground off and mark it out in drills fifteen inches apart. I next sow unleached wood ashes in the drills at the rate of forty bushels per acre. I then sow the black seed on the ashes and cover with earth. They will come up black and keep so. I have no trouble from worms and maggots. Unleached wood ashes cud onions are great friends. "Use them freely" is my motto, and I have never failed of raising a good crop of onions.?American Cultivator, . ?

Almost every one 'knows that kiln dried brick will absorb great amount of wate? in proportion of their size. The brick in a heap of damp or even wet grain will, if numerous enough, dry it out, saving all danger of heating. After serving their purpose the brick should be carefully put one side for use another year. Oar informant's father had used the i&me pile of brick many years, and however dry the grain, he usually threw a few brick in the bin to insure greater safety. It is possible that this would prove a good method in dry* ing out corn or to keep hay or grain in stacks from being spoiled by heating through. KKEP YOUNG STOCK OROWIKO. If properly fed and kept warm in win* ter, young animals gain more from the same feed than they will at any later period of their existence. The necessity for good feeding must therefore be apparent. For the young stock, if not fed or cared for as it should be, becomes stunted, and under this condition there is scarcely anything more vexatious and disheartening. The cAuse of stunted growth is usually impaired digestion, though this is followed by, and often confonnded with, attacks of scurvy in pigs, lice in calves or colts or ticks on lambs, all of which are serious evils. They generally proceed from the one sourco of insufficient nutrition. We use this word nutrition rather than feeding advisedly. There may l?e enough or too much fed, and there may even be enough eaten, but it docs not digest. It is only the food that digests which does an animal any good. Where digestion is ruined easily the animal never recovers to what it might have been. Starving and surfeiting aro cqua/fy Injurious: It. is just these extremes that the careful farmer avoids as | belonging to the wild state. No wild animal produces as much Rain in flesh as one under intelligent and painstaking human care." The wild animal gets its food as best it may, and in latitudes where cold winters prevail it is reasonably sure to become pinched and stunted the first winter. It is quite likely that if the buffalo is domesticated and givcq food and shelter winters, it will attain larger size than the buffalo that formerly ran wild over our western plains.?American Cultivator. (SHAFTING TIIE CHESTNUT. In some old works on horticultural operations the grafting of the chestnut is referred to ns a rather difficult and uncertain operation, and this may have deterred many otherwise good propagators of trees from attempting it. But any one who can successfully graft the Apple and pear need not hesitate to graft the chestnut, t.heroby saving several years in procuring a crop of these excellent nuts. The cious should, of course, be taken from bearing trees if possible, and only the young healthy shoots used, nud these taken from the terminal points of large, vigorous branches. After the cion is set, cover every part of the exposed wood on both stock and cion with wax, using plenty of it, inclosing all with waxed paper or thin cloth, to prevent admission of air or wnter when the stock begins to swell with growth | in spring. I much prefer splice grafting upon small 6tocks on branches of larger trees, to the ordiunry cleft-grating, but have good results from both. It is not at all rare to see the cion set iu spring blooming at the usual time the first season, and benriug a few nuts the second, and more the third. By having a few seedling chestnut trees growing in the orchard and garden we cau always avail ourselves of the opportunity for obtaining cions of choice varieties fouud in the forest, or iu the grounds of frjends and neighbors. The same is true in regard to fruit and ornamental trees, and ? man handy with the budding-knife car '"ends choice and jylir^uJetieVwithout cost, if he is known as a tiberat man ever ready to return I such favors.?New York Tribune.

U., , J temperance work had been almost exclusively 1 reformatory. When mother-love came to the wr fore, it quickly recognized the fact that tho Wa awful river of drunkenness was fed continu- me ally by streams whose springs were in th* home; every man swept to destruction by its terrible Hood was some "mother's boy." ',n' Other organizations had stood on the bank tea nnd dragged here one and there another vie- ex< tim from the flood, too often only to see them fOI stagger back and bo engulfed in the black , waters; These mothers said: "The stream . must l>e , stopped at the fountain head," and this is prevention. They rni had learned the lesson taught by nifi an insane asylum; the patient whose sanity is to be tested is taken to a tank into which a stream of water is flowing from ^ u a pipe, and told to empty it. If, unheeding out the flowing stream, he attempts to dip the Mr water out, his sanity is clear- but if, com- ma prehending the situation, he first turns the faucet shutting off the stream, and then proceeds to empty the tank, his sanity is equally 7?y clear. The w. C. T. U. has proved its sanity sol by turning the faucet, and thus originated ] Us preventive work.?Union Signal. ~ DRIKK DESTROY 8 THE BRAItT. The Christian Inquirer mentions an im- P pressive lecture on "Alcoholic Inheritance," 'n by Dr. Symes Thompson, at Qresbam Col- ae< lege, and reports him as saying: am "We doctors are often tempted to wish pc that the human raco could be propagated with as much care as is shown in the breed- . ing of horses." The lecturor followed with del a really terrible list of the evils to which "a!- nia coholic subjects." or the children and chil- ag, drcn's children born of drunkards, are lia- ma ble, not the least of which are insanity and every form of mental aberration. It was very noticeable, said the doctor, how much bis t.hn ninro 1 oViorontar cf ? ...v. ?m vuui uvwi vi luc ui uiiftaiu *?us BUI 'destroyed, and the name effect of the parent's la{ sin was traceable in his children. Again, drink was the greatest destroyer of brain ' power in the world, and its results were won- co' derfully manifested in the drunkard's issue. It is well understood that drink destroyed self-control, and a great necessity of the present day was the training of drunkardaf children in self-control. ge WORK AMONG SOLDIERS AND BAILORS. ^ Tim important work of the VV.
