Management of Pear Trees.
How pear trees are managed successful
ly in Western Michigan, is told by Mr. C.
D. Lawton, of Van Buren County Michi
gan, in one of our exchanges.
Keep the ground cultivated, and manure
moderately, if necessary. Year trees will
not bear, to any extent, except a fertile
soil. If the soil is kept rich there will be
heavy crops of fruit, but not otherwise,
and ordinary stable manure is best, if-on
sandy land ; if clay land, ashes are most
excellent.
I have found no difference as regards
blight, either in varieties or in soil, in
cultivation or neglect of it. We have
trees upon sand and upon clay, upon
ground that is kept heavily manured, and
upon ground that is wholly exempt from
such applications, upon ground kept under
cultivation, and upon ground not cultivated
at all, but left in grass, and they all blight,
to all appearances, one situation and con
dition as much as another, and no variety
is exempt. No remedy (r) has proved
the least avail; applications of linseed oil
have not deterred the trees from keeping
right on blighting until their destruction
was complete, and I look over my devasta
ted ground and mourn for the thrifty and
shapely occupants of which it has been
depleted, and sigh in vain for the whilom
delicious returns, which, alas, are no more.
Twelve years ago I procured about a
dozen of large pear trees, standards, cost
ing $1.25 each, on account of their extra
large size. They comprised six (6) hardy
varieties. I set them in my garden, all
but three, which I placed in the yard
adjoining, where the soil was good, but
they had no cultivation. The largest of
the trees was a Flemish Beauty, and, in
setting it out, I dug a large hole and put
into it a full two horse wagon load of horse
manure, with which I mixed the dirt, and
in which I set the tree. It grew with ex
traordiaary rapidity, attaining double the
size of any of the others, and bore each
year after the second season a full crop of
excellent fruit. In common with the
others, it commenced blighting a few years
ago, and is now nearly dead, but it is
among the last to go. They all grew well
and bore well for several years, until the
blight struck them. The first to blight
and die were a Barlett and a Vicar of
Wakefield, set where they had no cultiva
tion and no manure. In the meantime I
have trees of the same varieties some of
which have been set for a longer time than
those I have described, but set in an
orchard, have been kept under cultivation,
but without manure. These have never
bore fruit of any amount, but they blight
equally as badly as those which have been
kept manured. I might relate many sim
ilar observations made in this vicinity, and
leading to corresponding results.
Canning Fruits.
I made a discovery a year ago which
will benefit every family in the United
States, if they will follow it in canning
fruit. It is this :
Take any old fruit can, have it tight,
no matter how much the tin is off on the
inner surface, and place one sheet of note
paper,.(euntnercial note size), around the
inside. It can be done very easily, and
will, if done right, stay just exactly where
it is placed. Then put the fruit in the
usual way, and my word for it, when Mrs.
Jones or Mrs. Smith comes to take tea
next winter, they will not stick up their
.noses when tasting the fruit taken out of
one of the paper coated cans, and say that
the fruit tasted tinny. On the contrary,
they will say it is just as perfect as when
put up in new cans. I know there are
thousands of farmers like myself, that have
their gardens and cellars filled with old
cans. If paper coated, they will be just
as good as new.—The paper need not be
pasted in, as some may think, for it will
remain in its place without paste.—N.
7nbune.
Artificial Scarecrows.
If any of our readers want what is call
ed a seareerow, here are a couple recom
mended by the Scientific American : Take
two small, cheap mirrors, fasten them back
to back, attach a cord to one angle and
hang them to a pole. When the glass
swings the sun's rays are reflected all over
the field, even if it be a large one, and
even the oldest and bravest of crows will
depart precipitately should one of its light_
ning flashes fall on him. The second plan
though a terror to the crow, is especially
well gaited to fields subject to the inroads
of small birds, and even chickens. It
involves the artificial hawk made from a
large potato and long goose and turkey
feathers. The maker can exercise his im
itative skill in sticking the feathers in the
potato so they resemble the spread wings
and tail of a hawk. It is astonishing what
a ferocious bird of prey can be construced
from the above simple material. It only
remains to hang the object from a tall ,
bent pole, and the wind will do the rest.
The bird will make swoops and dashes in
the most headlong and threatening manner.
Even the most inqusitive of venerable
hens have been known to hurry rapidly
from its dangerous vicinity, while to small
birds it carries unmixed dismay.
DRY SCRATCHES.—Wash the horse's
foot in soap suds, let it get dry, anoint
with spirits of turpentine, and let it remain
for twenty-four hours, then make a strong
solution of copperas and lye soap, and wrap
the affected parts with a cloth wet with
soap and copperas. In one week the horse
will be well. You can cure a mule of her
cough by drawing a small wisp of hair
about the size of a goose quill from a
horse's tail, cut about 1-16th of an inch
in length with a pair of scissors, and mix
in meal or any other food that the mule
will eat; do this three or four times, at
intervals of a day or two between. I know
this to be an infallible remedy.
MOLASSES CAKE.—One cup molasses,
three tablespoonfuls butter, one teaspoon
ful ginger, stir very stiff with flour, one
teaspoonful soda in one cup hot water.

The Lord at Hand
Could Christians watch ten thousand, eats,
Before their Lord himself appears,
Yet, as Ile then shall come at last,
'Twerp wise through all such ages past,
T' have watch'd and waited, and have borne
The scoffer's jest, the worldling's scorn,
But those who watch not in the day,
Will surely sleep the night away.
Lord, make me at all boars awake,
And, self-denied, Thy cross to take,
Robed for thy nuptial feast in white,
With lamp in hand and burning bright ;
Nor lack of precious oil be mine
When the loud cry, "Arise and shine!"
Proclaims Thee come in bridal state,
And when preparing is too late !
—From the German
A Word in Season.
Kilitein, a pious German minister, once
heard a laboring man use the most awful
curses and imprecations in a fit of passion,
without reproving him for it. This so
troubled him that he could scarcely sleep
the following night. In the morning he
arose early, soon saw tne man coming
along, and addressed him as follows : "My
friend, it is you I am waiting to see."
"You are mistaken," replied the man ;
"you have never seen me before."
"Yes I saw you yesterday," said Kilstein,
"while returning from your work, and
heard you praying."
"What ! heard me pray ?" said the man,
"I am sure now that you are mistaken, for
I never prayed in my life."
"And yet," calmly but earnestly replied
the minister, "if God had heard your
prayer, you would not be here, but in hell;
for I heard you beseeching God that lie
might strike you with blindness and con
demn you into hell fire."
The man turned pale and tremblingly
said : "Dear sir, do you call this prayer !
Yes, it is true, I did this very thing."
"Now my friend," continued Kilstein,
"as you acknowledge it, it is my duty to
beseech you to seek with the same earn
estness the salvation of your soul as you
have hitherto its damnation, and I will
pray to God that lie will have mercy upon
you."
From this time be man regularly attend
ed upon the ministry of Kilstein, and ere
long was brought in humble repentance to
Christ as a true believer.
"A word in season, how good it is."
"Be instant in season and out of season;
rebuke, reprove, exhort, with all long
suffering and patience."
Set a Good Example.
Nothing is so easy as to write, preach,
and talk of the obligations we are under
to "do justly and walk humbly," but it is
altogether a different matter to write and
talk simply by example. And yet, though
the former be useful, how much more val
uable and effective is the latter. What
are the most beautifnl essays on the car
dinal virtues compared with the excellency
of a life in which these virtues have a
vital existence ? It was not alone the
doctrines advanced with such dignified
and pursuasive eloquence by our Saviour,
nor the wonderful miracles performed by
him, which made the hearts of men follow
after him ; these were rendered doubly
effectual by the examples which he set at
all times. And so it is now, in a humble
sense, by mere human hopes. Men may
preach, and the world will listen; but
profit comes by example. A parent incul
cates gentleness in his children by many
sound precepts; but they see him treat his
beast in a very rude manner, and, in con
sequence, his instructions are worse than
lost, for they are neither heeded nor re
spected. His example as a gentle and
human man would have been sufficient
for his children without one word of com
mand.— W. C. Alvocate.
The Sack of Earth
FROM TIIE GERMAN.]
A rich man bad cheated a poor widow
out of a field which had belonged to her
husband, and which was the only property
she had, in order to make his own garden
larger. A day or two after, the poor woman
met him in that very field with an empty
sack in her hand. With tears in her eyes
she said to him, "Sir, I wish you would
give me just as much earth out of this field
as would fill this sack. The man laughed
and said, "I can't refuse such a foolish
wish at that." The widow filled the sack
with earth, and then said, "And, now, sir,
I am going to ask you to help mo lift this
on my shoulder ?"
The man had no wish to do this, but the
widow begged him so hard that he was
obliged to give away. But when he tried
to lift the sack, he found that it was too
heavy for him to move. He told the
widow so, and she said, "Oh, sir, if you
find only one sack of earth too heavy, how
will you be able to bear the weight of this
field, which holds a thousand times as
much earth, upon your conscience at the
day of judgment? The man trembled at
these words, and gave her land back to her
again.
God's Justice.
The existence of sin and suffering is as
great a mystery as the doctrine of an eter
nal distinction between a pure and deprav
ed character ; and if God has so made the
world that in the constitution of things a
man can say yes when he ought to say no,
and Buffer all his life for it, we see no rea
son for rejecting Christ's manifest teach
ing that the gulf between the good and
the bad is as fixed as God's character. Let
people who spend their time weeping over
the seeming injustice of God in punishing
men for sin, dry up their tears and spend
their spare moments in influencing men to
be better.
CONCEIT generally dwells with ignor
ance. We may honor the Holy Ghost
quite as much by giving heel to his sug
gestions through saintly and gifted souls,
as when filtered through our willing minds.
We should have had a good deal less
nonsense in the shape of interpretation if
some of our "Bible Readers" had been
more free in the use of these helps. How
absurd for a man to declaim against a
commentary, and then go on to make one
on a passage of Scripture, and urge its
acceptance by a waiting audience. The
conceit of the thing is amazing !- 7 Rev. H.
C. Hayden.

FOR DROPSY
FORGET THE FIRST 1051
Ma. R. STEVENS—Dear Sir :—I have been a great snfferer
from dropsy, I was confined to my honew more than a
year. Six months of the time I was entirely helplees.—
I was obliged to have two men help me in and out of bed.
1 was swollen 19 inches larger than my natural size
around my waist. I suffered all a man could and live.-
1 tried all remedies for dropsy. 1 had three different
doctors. My friends all expected 1 would die; many
nights I was expected to die before morning. At last
Vegetine was sent me bye friend. I never shall forget
the first done. I could realize its good effects from day
to day; I was getting better. After I had taken 'some 5
or 6 bottles I could sleep quite well at nights. I began to
gain now quite fast. After taking come ten bottles, I
could walk from one part of my room to the other. My
appetite was good ; the dropsy had at this time disappeared.
I kept taking the Vegetitie until I regained my usual
health. I hoard of a great many cures by using Vegetine
after r got out and was able to attend to tny work. I am
a carpenter and builder. I will also say it has cured an
aunt of my wife's of Neuralgia, who had suffered for more
than 20 years. She says she has not had any neuralgia
for eight months. I have given it to one of my children
fur Canker Humor. I have no doubt in my mind it will
cure any humor; it is a great cleanser of the blood ; it is
safe to give a child. I will recommend it to the world.
My father is 811 years old, and he says there is nothing
like it to give strength and life Wan aged person. I can
not be too thankful for the use of it. I am,
Very gratefully yours. JOHN S. NorrAGE.
ALL DISEASEA or inn 111.00 D.—If Vegetine will relieve
pain; cleanse, purify, and cure such diseases, restoring
the patient to perfect health after trying different physi
cians, many remedies and suffering for years, is it not
conclusive proof, if you are a sufferer you can be cured?
Why is this medicine performing such great cures ? It
works in the blood, In the circulating fluid. It can truly
be called the GREAT.BLOOn PURIFIER. The great source of
disease orignates in the blood; and no medicine that does
not act directly upon it to purify and renovate, has any
just claim upon public attention.

NEWPORT, KT., Apr., 29, 18 7
MR. 11. R. STEVENS:-
Dear Sir —Having suffered from a breaking out of Can
kerous Sores tOr more than five years caused by an acci
dent of a fractured bone, which fracture ran into a running
sore, and having used everything I could think of and
nothing helped me, until I had taken six bottles of your
valuable medicine, Mr. Miller the apothecary recommend
ed very highly. The sixth bottle cured me, and all I can
say, is that I owe my health to your valuable Vegetine.
Your most obedient servant,
ALBERT VON ROEDER.
"It is unnecessary for me to enumerate the diseases for
which VEUETINK should be used. I know of no disease
a hick will not admit of its use, with good results. Almost
innumerable complaints are caused by poisonous secre
tions in the blood, which can be entirely expelled from
the system by the use of the VEGETINI. When the blood
is perfectly cleansed, the disease rapidly yields; all
pains cease ; healthy action is promptly restored, and the
patient is cured.
