THINNING OUT FRUIT.
Il may be considered somewhat early to
make suggestions on the subject of thinning
out fruit, but it car. never be too early to give
good advice, and we think that as pear and
peach trees are beginning to show their pro
duct, the thinning out process may be begun
at almost any time.
•It is true tbc operation can be performed
conveniently only upon such trees as are
not over large. But it should be especially
attended to in young trees, which frequently
over-bear, to the great injury of the health of
the trees, as well as' the quality of the fruit.
To "obtain the finest specimens of pears, they
should not be allowed to grow iu clusters or
in contact with each other, and all that exhib
ited the least imperfection should be remov
ed. What is lost in number will be doubly
ntude np in size and flavor, l'his should be
remembered. Many persons regard the thin
ning out of peaches, pears, and apples as so
much loss but they are not judges of fvuit,
and have no knowledge of its proper culture.
They want as large a crop as possible, letting
the quality take care of itself, no matter ho-v
much the tree is damaged and what effect it
may have on the following year's crop.
• > some of our own pear trees last year we
removed three-fourths of the entire crop, and
afterwards found the tree to contain more
ttiau was advisable.
It goes hard with some people to diminish
the quantity of fruit upon their trees. Some
times they plead want of time; but this is not
admissible, for if they have not time to attend
to the proper cultivation of fruit they should
abandon it altogether, lhe real cause is
lheir greediness. You can t make them be
lieve that they ore the gainers by destroying
n portion of the crop, saying that nature is
the best judge as to the quantity of the fruit.
Such persous have no practical knowledge of
fruit-raising, and the sooner they give it up
the better it will be for them, their pockets
and reputation.— Gennantoxen Telegraph.
SODS AND WEEDS.
It should be a general practice with fann
ers to gather up all the sods, weeds, and even
the year's growth of briers, bnshes, A c., and
stack them in large compact heaps, there to
remain for from one to two years, or until
they become properly decomposed, and resol
ved into one mass. It would take but little
time to gather these, while in doing so the
fields would be cleared of trash, which, if left
to remain, obstruct the growth of plants and
encourage the increase of those drawbacks to
growing crops. The "manure'' which ought
to be produced on a farm of an hundred acres
by this process, would hardly be believed un
til properly put in operation. But we can
say in advance that there ought to be real
j/.ed. at the lowest calculation, one cart load
per acre. This substance is extremely valu
able for gardens, and especially for corn, as
well as for soils of a heavy and tenacious
character.
We have long been convinced that this part
of a farmer's business has not nearly been so
generally attended to as it ought to be. In the
pursuit of agriculture there are as negligent
and indifferent farmers as other business
men. Some, indeed, appear to have no de
sire to succeed, or to make more than a mere
from hand-to-mouth living: they never learn
anything from the experience and example
of their more energetic and thriving neigh
bors. They know enough, and hence are con
tent to humdrum their lives away, leaving
their children to pattern after them, unless
they possess superior innate faculties of their
own, and copy, in spite of the example of
their parents, after those who have kept pace
with the spirit of the age.
In passing through agricultural districts the
observant person sees many different phases
of farming. He constantly notices where the
eye and hand of the intelligent, attentive and
successful farmer belong. He requires no
guide to point out to him where the soil as
well as the mind has been improved. He
sees no failure of crops there unless through
the visitation of agencies over which man has
no control. Even severe drought has little
effect upon his crops. Judicious manuring
and thorough tillage and draining alone work
these agricultural wonders. Mho, then, who
pusseooea the t.uc opiiit of tbo Former, will
not go and do likewise? — Germ ant own Tele
graph.
GOOD EFFECTS OF LIME.
li any one has any doubts as to the good
effects oflime on any soil, let him try for ex
periment half an acre, lime it well, and we
think that in four or five years he will extend
the application: once well done and it will
last an age. Who ever saw the spot where
the ruins of a house once was but has seen
the rich, stroug grass at all seasons, wet or
dry? Now what produces this? The fertili
ty that gathers around the residence of them.
It must be the lime that falls into the soil
from the bricks and plastering. Lime acts
more positively upon some soils than others,
but did you ever know of limestone land that
was not fertile? that did not give a larger
yield of grass? It seems to act as manure or
food for plants—for all who are conversant
with chemical analysis know there is a small
portion of lime or alkaline matter tound in
nil plants, jjrapis or trepo. Lime supplies
this —hence the vigorous growth wherever
found—it is much more advantageous to dou
ble the produce of one acre than to work two
acres for the same returns. Let us try the
article: if we see no marked effects the first
year and but little the second, doubt not; for
it requires time to get this material under
way. But when it does act its operations are
steady and durable, and annually returns the
cost of application. Do not fear a little cost,
for it is an old and trite saying, "nothing risk,
nothing have." Most farms are lacking in
lime, and till that is given crops must be
small. — Germanloicn Telegraph.

A COMPANY of soldiers were marching
through a bog in Ireland, when the sergeant
ordered them -o form 'two deep." One fel
low, an Irishman, who got up to his thighs in
a bog hole, exclaimed, 'Bedad, I'm in too
deep already.
A NOBLEMAN asked a clergymau once at his
table, 'why the goose, if there was one, was
always placed next to the parson?'
"Really, said he, 'I can give no reason for
it.- but your question is so odd that I sball
never see a goose in the future, without think
ing of your lordship.'
"Pray, excuse a bit of sarcasm,' saidSuiith
to Jones, "but you are an infamous liar and
scoundrel."
"Pray, pardon a touch of irony, replied
Jones, as he knocked him down with the
poker.
A WITTY editor who has just failed, says he

•■ls it possible, Miss, that you don't know
the names of soms of your best friends?" in
quired a gentleman of a lady.
"Certainly," she replied, "1 don't know
what my own may be a year hence.'
A COIAIKKI. of volunteers repeatedly insist
ed as a condition of his offer of service,
"Mind, we are not to go out of the country,
Mr. Pitt! we are not to go out of the coun

j "Except, 1 suppose," said the minister,
coldly, "in the case of actual invasion. "
WIOOINS was one day with a friend, when
he observed a poor dog that had been killed,
lying in the gutter. Wiggins paused, gazed
at the dead animal, and at last said: "Here
is another shipwreck."
"Shipwreck, where?"
"Why here's a bark that s lost forever.
His companion growled and passed on.
A STRAY contraband down South was late
ly inspecting a horse power in operatiou, when
he broke out thus: —
"Mister, I have seen heaps of things in my
life, but I never saw anything where a horse
could do his own work andride himself too."
AN old miser, who was notorious for self
denial, was one day asked why he was so
thin.
"1 do not know," said the miser, "I have
tried various means for getting fatter, but
without success."
•'Have you tried victuals?" inquired the
friend.

A SCHOLAR, a bald matt, and a barber who
were travelling together, agreed each to watch
four hours at night, in turn, for the sake of
security. The barber's lot came first, who
shaved the scholar's head when asleep, then
waked him when his turn came. The scholar
scratching his head, and feeling it bald, ex
claimed: "You wretch of a barber, you have
waked the bald man instead of me."
A I-AKY in Nashville, on mercy bent, was
making a visit to the penitentiary, and was
permitted to lock through the various wards.
In one room she saw three women engaged
in sewing, and turning to the keeper, who was
showing her about, said to him in an under
tone:
"Dear me! the viciousest looking women
I ever saw in my life! What are they put
here for?"
"They are here," he replied, "because I
am here; they are my wife and daughters,
madam."
But the madam was traveling out as fast as
possible.
A TLX AS paper tells of a young couple who
eloped on horseback accompanied by aclergy
manwhowasto marry them. The lady's father
gave chase, and was over takingtbe purty when
the maiden called out to her clerical friend.
''Can you marry us as we run?" The idea
took arid he commenced the ritual, and just
as the bride's father clutched her bridle rein,
the clergyman pronounced the lovers man
and wife. The father was so pleased with
the dashiDg action that, as the story goes,
he gave jhern his blessing.
IHE HEAD TERMED ROUND. —A crazy mau
was found at a grindstone sharpening a large
butcher knife, and now and then examining
the edge to see if it was keen.
"What are you doing here?"
"Don't you see? sharpening this big knife."
"Yes, but what arc you going to do with it
when sharpened?"
"Cut old Ben Brown's head off, to be sure."
"What! you won't kill him, will you?"
"Oh, no! I only exit his head oft'and stick
it right on again, hind side before, just to 1 et
the old fellow look back on his past life 1 It
would take him all the rest of his life to re
view it."
What a queer idea the lunatic had iu his
mind. And what if it were so, that every man
when he reached a certain age had his face
turned around, and was obliged to spend the
rest of his days in looking over his past life !

How TO MPEE A WATERFALL.—
Take four pounds of rags and a buncb of
shavings,
Au old tin pan and a bunch of straw;
1 hen steal an old hat of somebody's leaving
And swear it's your own to get clear of the
law.
Next get au old stocking and stuff it with pa
per,
And, if it's possible, put in a mole:
Then get some old china and a nutmeg gra
ler.
Then make them all up in a Lice little roll.
Put all these things in a net of red,
And glistening beads must cover them all;
Then fasten it on the back of your head,
And you have a "love of a waterfall."
