The spring is upon us, and seed sow ing in.. the. garden and upon the ,farm will soon be here. .As Myriads of seeds are wasted every year, a few hints may be seasonable. • The most successful sower we ever knew lets his garden ground,get .a littl e dry before sowing. Then he' stretches the line•along where the seeds are to go;sows toe seeds on the surface, and- , then walks sideways along the line, preasing the seeds With his "flat foot." He. says he never has a seed miss, and so sows =them thinlyjust where every plant is to grow. There is not l'unly no waste of sees;, but no waste in thinning. There is no rak ing in . of the seed, but the.. whole is as simple as possible. His wife a good flower gardener. Her mignonette and phloxes always grow, and a ten-cent pa per is enough for the Whole-garden.= She sows on the \ stfrface, "patip,down, as . she says, the earth with the back of L . er cast-steel trowel, puts the stick with the name in the centre of the little patch, and the seeds sprout at once. . Srow this is all reasonable enough when -we think of it. There are lots of people who believe that rag weed and other rub-. bish keep seed fresh for years when but ploughed down a few inches. Wheth er this is so or not., deep sowing is known to be unfavorable to germination. • Seed, likes to be 'near the air, but near the moisture too, and all .that is necesstrY to this is that they be pressed firmly in the ground. Of. course the seeds need not be "trampe4":in. There are ways enough of covering- seed properly with imple ments. We only refer to. Our friend's ex perience for the ,lesson teaches.---aer mantoteit Telegraph. Planting *Wile Trees. The attention of farmers is invited to this important subject, and none should let. the present opportunity slip': unim proved. The apple is the most impor tant of all the cultivated fruits, as it can be used fOr more purposes, culinary and other, than any other on the: lists of fruits. Plant trees in good soil and where they cau have a full ,exposure to the sunlight. In view of securing this advantage take care and not plant trees too near each other. Some, orchards planted twenty years ago now ' completely shade the ground li,ke'a forest. Apples grown in such an orchard *ill be defective in color and flavor. , The roots of the trees must be fed or , else they will cease to furnish the or chardiat with good crops of apples. It Is said that the roots of thrifty trees extend outward about a foot a year for thirty years. The area for culture and fertili• zation'Of a good apple tree thirty years old would with its roots, fill a circle sixty feet in diameter all in .pursuit of plant food to make leaves, growth and fruit. The trees were formerly and are still planted from twenty to, twenty-five feet apart. The first distance will do verylvell if they be thinned 'after they come into bearing as' more space is needed for growth and, sunlight. Room above and plant-food beneath are the conditions for a good apple orchard with perfect fruit, Before the trees conie into bearing and after, hoed crops should be cpltivated, such is squashes and potatoes, with clean culture, which , promotes the vigorous growth of the trees. Before the apples begin to ripen and fall, - a coat of mulch. ing of swamp or marsh , hay should be put under the 'trees. Then the apples when they fall are clean and free from bruises. After the trees are large enough not to suffer, orchards may be pastured with hogs, sheep , or. cows. We ehould ' prefer the former until the windfalls be worth saving. Surface manure must not be neglected. If the roots be thus led,sur face culture may be sooner dispensed with. The selection of congenial soil and a . suitable location for growing an ipple or chard requires care and attention on the part pf the planter of trees. An abund ance of sunlight with an ample supply of plant food am points to be secured. A loamy soil free from stagnant water, not too tenacious or heavy, 'in word, good corn land with proper culture, as.stated above, will be most likely to secure a good apple orebard, awarding to ex , perience and observation, In regard to the varieties to plant, for Whiter apples, none stand higher, if any does as high, as the Baldwin; a first class market apple; the Rhode Island Greening.

My mpther told me that it would be a 'good way for me to, make believe . that I 'am. telling 'Miss Annetta' Fourteen what happens every day. ' I asked my mother, "Will she, be I ? Will MiBEl 'Annetta Fourteen be the same I then that lam now when I am seven ?" She said, "She will he ;the same I, and she will not be: the 'same L" . Then I asked my mother to tell me how I could be the same I, and not the same I. She said, "Yea are the same you that you were when you .were a l baby, and-you are not, the. 3ame you." She said that if. I were the very same no, the very same I—that I was when I "was a baby, I should want a rattle to shake, and to be trotted,and to pat cakes! • That made me laugh out loud. Then my mother asked me if I should not like to read a little -cunning diry, where \ Annetta Baby put down when she learned how to pat-a-cake,. and when she jumped first time in a _baby jumper, and when she fell out of bed. And I said I should: • I shall tell something now in my diary about poor little Banty White. She died this morning. Shea had the pip. She eras a little beauty. ,Oh, she was just as white as snow all over, and every one in the family loved her very much. She would come when ,we called her, and she knew her name. She had four chickens once, and once she had seven. They are sold. - I cried when my Banty died. She was very 'cunning and very,nice. My mother does not think it is foolish to cry for something like that. She, thinks it is foolish to cry when you can't have things that you want, and when you cannot go to the places that you want to. My mother talks to me a great deal about Banty White. The Plaguer talks some:. The Plaguer is my cousin Hiram. He is fifteen. He is very- tall. He likes to pl4.gue . us when ,we do not wish him to do so. M. says "800 !" in our ears when we do not know he is there: They counted four good things about Banty. Kind—that was one of the good things. My cat had three kittens, and two died. My cat had fits. They were running fits. And once, she ran away. That was the last one she had, for she did not live much: longer, and her little kitty was left withnut any mother.: Ban ty White let the kitten, come under her wings, and did not push it otit. She was kind to it a great many. days. When she cal!ed her chickies to eat something, she wanted that kitty to come too, and she wanted the kitty to run under her wings when the chickies came under; and when the kitty did not come quick, she kept saying . "Cluck! cluck! cluck!" until eomebody put it tinder there. - Then she kept still. - Not quarrelsome. This makes two good things. When any other Banty ran to get the same crumble that she was go ing after, she did notlfy at that otherone. Not pick out the best. This makes three good - things. When anybody threw down corn, or crumbs, or bugs—my fath er picked of squash-bugs to give to the hens—she did not try to pick for the biggest one, and she did not either try to ' keep the best place for herself. The best, hen-place is close to the back door.— Banty White was tied to a stake there, but-she .was willing the other ones - should have that good place, too.' Not proud. -Four good things.' The Plaguer told ine of this one. He said some hens are so proud when they lay eggs that they go 'around cackling very loud, just as much as to say, "See what I've done ! I've done !" He said Banty White never- made a very loud cackling. My mother said that she 'heard the boys "cackle," one day,when they had brought in some large sticks of wood. That made us laugh. Then she said she heard a little girl "cackle," one day, when she. had picked more huckleberries than the others did. I knew what little' girl she. meant. - Me. One day, my, father and my mother and Myself 'went to see my aunt, and we stayed all night, and Iliram put my Ban ty under a barrel.to•make her not want to sit, and-he fdrgot she was tinder there; and she starved almost to death, because she had no food to eat. One day when our great Shanghi hen .wanted to sit, the Jimmyjohns Went 'way into a corner of the hen-house and tried to get hold' of her legs to pull her off, and she pecked them. .liost everybody. knows about the Jimmies .now, for they are only our two little twin boy . who look just alike. One of the Jim mies held out a stick for 'her to bite, and so she did a little while; but . she stopped biting that stick when he began to put his othcr, hand to take hold of her legs with, and pecked that hand. Then he threw some pine -needles that were on the ground in the hen-house ; but -they did not stop •her from pecking that:band he was taking hold of her, legs with.— Then lie put his straw hat on her head,: so that she bad to knock her head on= tile' inside of it, and then - they both took hold of her legs and pulled her off. Thia is a very. funny story. They could nat. Let' out. They let her go' back again,—; The button on the door of thelen-house turnsitself around, and they had to stay shut up in the hen-house almost two hours. They hollered just as loud as they could, and then they cried, and then they pounded, and then they kicked the door, and then _they did all these same things ovO again. When Hiram put the cow in the barn,, he heard- : .them, pound-. ing, and 'heard Skip barking.. .§,kip was lying down outside, ant sometimes he got up and barked. One day the Jimmy johns went off in a boat, and it was bad weather, and they almost kat drowned.— This almost. makes me cry—for then we could never e never see our little Jimmies any more i Oh 1 what-should we do without our dear little Jimmies ?—St. Nicholas.
