The Rural New Yorker says: We condemn the practice of heaping np the earth abont the stems of fruit trees as generally recommended. Some say this mound will steady newly transplanted trees and will also tend to keep away xaioe. The only effects, of this monnd, to our thinking, are to soften the bark underneath, rendering It more sensitive to the alternations of freezing and thawing in February, and March, and to induce spronta frorn the parts so covered. . i One of its readers sends an exoliange the following note: Out of twenty-six witnesses I have examined in reference to the best way of >n?ffing an orchard after the trees have matured, nineteen of them say the lose ploughing the better?keep in grass and clovef, and topdress with "manure every fall.'

Am exchange says : The proper way is, when the frost has been partially drawn out of them, naturally, to drench them with cold water from a fine-rosed watering pot, and immediately cover again and let them so remain until they regain their natural color. When they are removed clip off all suoh parts as are blackened. As soon as it is discovered that a plant has been touched by frost remove it to a oool, dark room, and on no aooount suffer the sun to shine on it. ff they can be covered so as to exclude air as well as light, it is better still. Dahlias, cannas and the like need not be removed until the frosts are severe enough to blacken the leaves. CnltlTallnc Roses. I have for several years cultivated a few choioe roses. Last spring I added twenty to the number, and nearly all of them I set out in three or four-inoh pots. In June I plunged these into the soil of my flower garden; two of my older roses and three of my new ones, however, were planted directly in the soil. All these roses were of the everhlnnmino onrf. Ono t\f Hio no MW- <1 vuv V* VUV UU1 U\J UUTf roses that were set in the ground, and only one, grew more luxuriantly and bloomed more abundantly than those in the pots. It wae the charming rose bon silene. It gave me six roses in midsummer, and then a new shoot sprang up from the roots, grew very rapidly, and put forth three buds, and a branch put forth two more, so in the autumn I had five roses (eleven in all) on that tiny J bush. After potting and removing to the house in October, I let it rest a few weeks and then cut off nearly all of its leaves; from the shoot referred to I removed every one. At this time, two weeks later, there are vigorous shoots more than on inch long, with three buds already peeping forth, where I cut ofl . the leaves, v / Several years ago I was forced to strip my bushes of their leaves, not knowing then how otherwise to get rid of the aphis, though I have since proved the virtues of hellebore Soon after thus - despoiling the plant, it would repay my harshness by putting forth new shoots at the leaf-joints, crowned with buds. Some people are so careful of their barren rose plants that not a leaf mn6t be cut off, net a branch pruned, 60 they have naught but the unsightly bush to care for, whereas, if they would cut down the old wood, they might be re ? 11- * -> > iTiuuou ujr a uow fjruwiu. a. gooa ncil soil is quite as essential as pruning; also moisture aud sunshine. 1 have seen people who have became discouraged because their new rose plants dropped their leaves. No matter how green the stalk, thev exclaim, " My rose bueb ' is dead ! " ana by neglect they soon kill it. Had I pursued the same course, several of my choioe plants, that have yielded lovely roses two months after setting out, would have been a failure. So long as there is life in the stalk there is hope that it will put forth and bud. ? M. D. W., in Vick'8 Magazine. Value of Appleo or Fodder. The value of apples for fodder for farm stock is one point on which all stock-growers agree who have had an opportunity of giving this fruit a trial in connection with other rations. The chief objection to apples for this purpose ?the liability of animals choking on them?disappeared with the introduction of root-cutters, and farmers, especially those operating in climates which forbid grass during the entire year, are increasing the area devoted to orchards, with a view of disposing of any surplus amount as fodder. Some of our progressive dairymen, indeed} go further, aud urge apple culture as a necessary adjunct to the dairy business, so thoroughly oonvinoed are they that apples given to milch oows in oonnection with feed rich in nitrogen, during the winter season, impart to tneir milk a rich flavor, and to the butter a color akin to that gained from grass. Where soil and climate are adapted to them, there is no doubt but that apples for stock can be grown cheaper than any other kind j:? ?i? ui iwu \ji uujiicopuuum^ vaiur, groev r-oepted. Sogs are rapidly fattened on apples, v.ien grgin meal is intermixed, and horses and sheep thrive on them in Dlace of roots, -when ariven with hav. Apples are of comparatively little vilue when fed alone. This is aooounted for by the small amount of nitrogen they contain; hence the necessity of associating them with rations rich in the - elements they lack. The same rale holds good with apple-pomaoe, which is valuable or almost worthless aooording as it is fed separately or in connection with other materials.?New York World.

Polly 3" not unfrequently rued her impertinence ' by being knooked off the fence with a J- broomstick. e This brought forth a torrent of abuse from her injured feelings upon the head d of her assailant. Finally the bird's n language became so abusive that the Captain vas obliged to Bend it away, and Polly was transferred to a good CJhristian family in the country, where in the oonree of time she reformed and became . to some extent a bird of edifying piety. Some time ago, while she was sunning hertelf in the garden, a large hawk swooped down and bore the distressed parrot off as a prize. Her reoent reir ligions training came to her assistance, n as at the top of her voice she shrieked, " Oh, Lord, save me I Oh, Lord, save Lr me 1" d The hawk became so terrified at the 11 nn expected ory that he dropped his intended dinner and soared away in the jq distance. j Polly still survives her attempted t8 abduction.?Baltimore (Md.)

V A Flag that Refused to Go Up. During the last grand "review" of her troops by the queen of England, at Aldershott, Ihe big flag refused to go up the staff, to the great mortification of the managers. A similar misadventure at Nottingham, at a muster of the troops of the ill-fated Charles I., was thought to have a sinister omen. Victoria, however, has none of the superstition of 240 years ago. Colonel T. W. Higginson, who was present, writes to the Woman'a Journal this lively aooonnt of the scene at Aldershott: Two soldiers had long Blood ready at theJlag&taff to hoist the groat standard; ana, when the -'queen waB eeen, the signal for ils raising was given. Up it went, flapping in the strong wind; but so clumsily was it done tnai me nag was wrapped round tho staff, and not half of it blew out freely. The men twitched and tugged in rain; there was no time 1a mend the matter by lowering and rehoisting, and her majesty trotted by, apparently not noticing the mishap, out nodding and smiling good-naturedly to some of the ladies who sat in favored positions. When she had gone pant, and had turned to drive along the line of troops opposite us, there was a subdued murmur of "Lower the flag and tTy it again an officer stepped forward and gave orders, and down it came. Then it began to go up onoe more, this time blowing out olearly, till it had reached half-mast and stopped. Clhere was a general groan ^ again twitohing and pulling were tried in vain ; the halyard was plainly chocked in the block. At last a soldier advanosd to olimb the flagstaff; subdued chners greeted him; the queen was now far away, trotting down the long line of soldiers ; there was plenty of time. Up and up he went, and when he j stopped half way up to rest, the cheering grew more outspoken. But more than half way up he never got, and the cheering died into a muffled groan, when the poor fellow with a sheepish smile slid slowly downward, quite exhausted, and tlys flag was still at halfmast, and the queen was still trotting 00. Then, after a pause and hurried consultation, came forward a cavalry-mao, and great was the relief when on stripping off his coat }he showed the tattooed arm of a soldier. " Bless himI" gasped a lady near me. "There's bnt justtime," growled her hnsband, Up went the bold dragoon, not stopping even to lake off his heavy boots. No applt.nse mat him till he had passed the point where his predecessor had stopped; then (ill seemed to take breath, and the murmur of triumph swelled. Bnt as he went higher he went ominously slower, and ten feet from the top, utterly powerlless to climb an inch farther, he stnok helpless, an object of dismay to twenty thousand people. Stretching ont his tired arm, bending and unbending it as if to st.y, " If yon only knew how I feel," the poor victim an??there was the queen in full sight' and rapidly approaching. Tharfvimniftmliw of her advanced ennrd had just reached the flag-staff as the poor cavalryman slunk back among hie mates. " Poll down that flag 1" shouted he, or somebody. Down it came, and her majeety, the queen of England and empress of India, reviewed her sixteen thousand picked troops without a flag over her head. But so far as she was concerned, this annoying test only brought out her finer qualities. Hen expression was, as all said, unusually bright and oheerful that day; she cast one light glance at the empty flag-staff, and from tbat moment seemed to ignore the whole matter. Wliat's in a Name.
