AGRIOULTURE. SOCRAPING TREs -Do we approve of scraping Trees? asks a friend of ours Certainly we do, provided they need It,and one can rarely find an old tree that does not. Aside from the fact that that the removal of the old bark-scales breaks a refuge for various insects, including the Woolly-aphis, the increased beauty of the tree repays the trouble. There are scrap ere made for the purpose; one of these has a triangular blade, another a long .>lade, with one flat and another slightly concave edge. An old hoe is quite as good a tool as any; cut off the handle to about 18 inches, and do not grand the blade. too shtrp, as a cutting Implement is not need ed-only a scraper. On a very old trunk some force may be needed to detach the scales that are partly loose, but on young trees be 3areful not to wound the healthy bark. Whe there cones a moist, drizzly spell, go over the scraped bark with good soft soap, made thin enough with water to apply.with a brush, Paint over a thick coat of this soap aud leave the rest to the rains. Liter in the season the trees will appear as tf furnished with mahogany trunks. RoAD horses should have their front feet stuffed with flax-seed meat twice a week. When light shoes are needed, partic ularly hind ones have them made ot cast steel. Don't hook your horse to the sleigh the same as to your wagon. but give him more trace. Horaes wearing boots should have them loosened while under the shed at the road house. If your horse should pull on one line er throw his head up and down and fight and pull on the bit have his mouth and teetn examined. The hand jpleces of driving reins fre quently become smooth from use, causing the hand to shift. In such cases rub the lines with powdered rosin. If You wish to drive your horses with an open bridle .ave him tried with one beforo P, Putting him to your top wagon, otherwise he might get away with you. W lien hrorses overreach lengthen the hind shoes; when they hit the front of the hind teet have the toe of the front shoes made narrow and concavett on the inside. CONTROLLI TnR HomIs.-The reins may guide the horse, the bit may inspire him by its careful maniplilation, and tire wip may urge him forward to greater ainbition; but the huuan voice is more po tent than all tiere agencies. Its assuring toms will more quickly diepel his fright; its severe reproaches will more effectually check his insubordination; its sharp. clear electric commands will more thoioughly arouse his ambition, -ml its gentle, kindly priics will more completely encourage the intelligunt roaa horse than the united forces of the bit and reins and the lash. Vo animal in domestic use more readily responds to the power of kindness than the road horse. i'tRiMiRNTH anode at the farm of the Rural Eciw Yorker, to show tire effects of shaae on grow%,iug potatods, give tire an teresting results that the afternoon stin is of moie uportance to the yield of potatoes than the iornitig sun.

DusT will accumulate in closets will sift in through and under the doors, after one has done all she knows -how to prevent it. lf a woman can afford to have a regular chest of drawers of the exant length of her dress skirts she should be counted as one of the happy; if not, she can shield her black silk and velvet dresses in this way: Take two breadths of wide cambrio, sew them to. gether, hem all around both ends, and run in strings to draw -them together, or pieces of elastic cord. In this slip the dress skirt. Have two loops on the band of the skikt, and let them come through the tol of the bag to hang it by. The object in having both ende open is so that the dress may be slipped out at either end, and also may be ar ranged so that it will not wrinkle. There should be a loop on the bag also, by which it may be left hanging in the closet after the skirt is taken out, BiE On VECAn A LA MODE, LOUISIANA 3TYLE.-Cut ten or twelve pounds of beef or veal into small pieces; mInce two large onions and put them into a stewpan, with four ounces of beef drip pings.

Use some fresh rolls, and out a thin, nice oval hole in the top of each, saving the pieces cut out, scoop out all the crumbs, leaving the crust whole. Put the oysters in a stowpan with one quarter of their hq uor, add some broad crumbs, a large piece of butter, a little pepper, nutmog and mace, if desired. Stew a few min utes, add three large tablespoonful of oream, allow all to boil. Fill the in. side of the rolls with the oysters, reserv ing as many oysters as you have rolls. Cover with the pieces out out and place an oyster on each roll. These ornamen tal oysters must be very dry. HINTs ON KNrrrING STOoKINGB. When knitting children's stockings of the German knitting yarn, or of othei heavy qualities of yarn, do not use too large needles.

To CYEAN PAINT.-Tea leaves may be saved fi om the table for a few days, and when sufficient are collected steep, noi boil, them for half an hour in a tin pan, Strain the wator off through a sieve, ani use this tea to wash all varnished paint.

"And she has told you to watch for the money ?" "Well, not exactly that, but I've kinder j taken it upon myself to do so, If the Widder Jwnnings gets that $2000 before 1 the 1st of April, my heart is going to yearn to iarry her. If she don't i git it I'm going to marry an old maid with twenty-one acres of land and a yoke of oxen, I wouldn't have come in to-day but the widder she's a winking and the old maid is looking purty as a bed of onions, and thiAgs is beginning to squeeze on me."
