AGRIOULTURB. Norms IN mhs?ntrUrr YArU.-It is get ting to be a prime matter jn planting apple trees to secure varieties that ar hardy. The old seeding orchards wer as secure as elms, but not so our flne sorts. Evolution in quality does not se cure a survival of the toughest wood The tendency is rather the other way Of the hardier sorts of late introductio: the Spy ranks high. The Roxbury RuE sett does not easily kill, while the Kirk land is as tough as the toughest of th old-time seedlings. These are the thre best late winter keepers and most hard; trees. Those who plant pears should solec those which do not need to be hurriec to market. Of these the three mos profitable and best are Sheldon, D'Anjoi and Clairgeau. The two first ar also shapely trees, and all theto ar hardy. A few peach trees from seed should b on every farm. They will give a grea deal of satisfaction when they do bear and take little room when they do not Seedlings from Early Crawford are like ly to give hardy as well as good vario ties. The Wager also may be re lied on, as well as Amsden and Alexan der. No fruit is more profitable, with pre per care, than the quince. The trea must be sheltered from cold winds an protected from the frost. This last ca be done by a liberal mulch of coal ashes The quince is easily propagated b planting cuttings six inches to a for long, set in good garden soil. Tho tree must be well cultivated to be of speci value. It is impossible to get a gooi crop of quinces from trees grown ii green award. The best variety is stil the old Orange. There are two rules in planting fruri trees, or for that matter any trees, tha cannot be too carefully applied: 1. Al ways cut back the limbs sharply. I the tree is large, cut away nearly all th top. So in planting evergreen hedges down with tbem;shear away half or two thirds. 2. Mulch heavily,mulch overy thing; mulch always. HAY.-The best quality of hay is ob tained by cutting the grass while i bloom. For this, mowing machine are indispensable. The scythe may do for the fence corners, but not for goner al use. In choosing a mower, look tI lightness of draft, strength, and siwpli city of construction. As between equall; good machines, it is best to buy th one mado nearest homo,for conveniene in making repairs. It is safer to hav the cutting bar ahead, and to one aid of the driver. The tedder is a valuabl adjunct of the hay field, greatly facilita ting the drying of the grass. The bes hay is mado by curing in the cool Sweating improves the quality of hay and prevents its heating in the mow Cut grass that has had the situ for on day may be put up in large cocks whero it will keep well for a week necessary, if protected from rain an( dew by cops. These cops are easil made from common sheeting, and fr( quently pay for themselves the firs season. Tl'ho horse-fork is a groat labe saving implement, and should be mo generally used. Haying is soon ove: and everything should bo employed tha aids in the hurry of this work. Fon more than thirty years we has had to do more or less with the rearini of calves.

A1ApLpQtiED PigoiEs.-This style of decorative work. is very satisfactory, it is so handy, and particularly the small b pieces, which make no bulk, and hence r are easily taken about from the parlor - to the piazza and out into the garden summer houses, over in the grove, down by the shore, or anywhere one a may wander to while rusticating. The . fashion of adorning many household . and toilet articles with appliqued designs gives t. this industry a great deal of a special interest, much more than is , usually bestowed upon one kind of dec orative needlework. Bonnet orape is of all shades-and the very small piecos l are just what is wanted in making these t flowers. Nome of the petals are formed i of narrow ribbon radiating from the y centres, which are often curiously con 9 structed of dots, especially in designing such flowers as daisies. Another very p interesting industry is pillow lace mak t ing; there is no difficulty in learning the stitches and method of working out the patterns. Lace making has become quite fashionable. There arc several kinds that are excellent imitations of point lace and the old-time guipuro. Manufacturers have recently brought out a number of now shades in embroid ery silks. This addition of color to s this deparament of decorating materials . will give wider scope to the landscape touches that are so much admired in needlework for household adorning.

Cunann' RATAIA -Take eight pounds of the best of red cherries; add to this eight pounds of the best of black clier rics; also, two pounds of the best and ripest of raspberries, one pound of the best rod currants, another pound of the best of white currants, three ounces of coriander seed, half an ounce of mace and half an ounce of cinnamon.

The most heroical use of of the ahcrry in this country is cherry bounce. This is entirely ani American invention. For good or for evil, cherry bounce has entered into the polities, and oven the religion of the American continent, for several genera f tions. It would neem to have originated with the "first families of Virginia;" but the fashion subseqIuontly crept into the social usages of several other stir. rounding populations.

HE loyd his horse: The ICeiitttkintdu ' admiration for fine horses is the stroiig- t est feeling in his nature. He cares very s little whether or not the public enter. s talus a favorable opinion of him, but he e wants everybody to think well of his f horse. Some time ago the editor of the t Kentucky 8tate Journal, published at e Ne wport, published a local item con corning a horse well known in the com munity. Shortly afterward a man en tered tho office with a revengeful air 1 and said: "My name is 'Squire Jaggers and I am not a tender-hearted man, let me toll you. I understand that you have flung reflections on the character of my horse." "I don't know," replied the editor, "that I said anything derog. atory to tho' character of your horse. I merely insinuated that you stole the i animal, but I did not say anything to in ' the least injure his character." "That's nll right, then. I don't care who says I stole him, but blamed if any man shall say that he can't run." **.'1Yi.e men say nothing in danger ous times." Wise men use nothing in dangerous diseases but the best and most approved remedies. Thus Kidney-Wort is employed universally in cases of diseas ed liver, kidney and bowels. It will cost you but a trifle to try it, and the result will be most delightful. " Millions of packages of the Dia mond Dyes have been sold without a single complaint.
