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.

large needles. Of course, you get along
much faster, and the stockings will
thicken somewhat when washed for the

so serviceable as if knit with smalloa
needles, only a trifle larger than those
which you use in knitting the cashmere
yarns.

HUMOROUS,
Two or three years ago a Jersey City
pension lawyer took the ease of a widow
who wanted about $2000 back pay, and
the papers went to Washington to be
hidden among the cobwebm until some
clerk had nothing else to do but exam
ine them, After thr6e months had
passed a young farmer called -to ask
about the ease, and regularly every nine. j
ty days since that time he has dropped
in with his: "Well, any good news for
the Widder Jennings?' At his last vis
it the other day the liwyer replied after *
the sawne stereotyped fashion and added:
"Do you live near the widow?" "Only
one farm between us." "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
