Cultivating Orchards. We lmve m-en two orchards In West ern Xew York, ntumling within half a mile of pnch other, which very nearly corresponded with the following descrip tion of two orchards at Houth Haven, Michigan, given ty Prof. Heal. One of these orchards he pronounces as hearing the hest crop the past season which he had seen In the Htate. The ground lius a perfect natural drainage, but has not a strong Boil, hence the necessity of the triennial and cultivation given It. With this treatment, the annual shoots are not over a foot long. The owner raises fine fruit, and makes It a rule to send to market only the very finest In quality. It Is no wonder then that he cannot 1111 all the orders he receives. His neighbor set his orchard the same year (17 years ago) and allows his trees to stand In grass, lie had no fruit of any value tho past season. The two orchards are separated only by a line lence. The last mentioned trees are mossy, with yellow leaves, and cut by tho borer, and make little growth. A specimen tree In this orchard measured fourteen feet through the top, that is the limbs were seven feet long with seventeen years growth ; the tops of the trees In the good orchard were twenty-two feet through. Country Gentleman. The Calla Lily as a House Plant. The calla lily, roots of which may be procured of any florist, Is one of our finest plants for house-growing when properly treated. The best method we have tried Is to procure an earthen jar, suitably decorated on the outside if de sired, by painting or pasting on of frieze of flower-pictures, or by a paper open work covering. In this place rich mold, some five or six Inches deep, and in this set the calla plant. Xow put on the top of this mold a layer of clean, coarse sand, about two inches deep, and on top of this some small pebbles. Thou fill the jar with water and replace as evapo rated, so as to always have the water severul inches deep above the pebbles. Place in a warm and sunny window, and the plant will throw up large, luxuriant leaves, to be followed by the magnificent bloom. What Is still better, the flower-stalks will be sent up in succession, so as to aflbrd a nearly con tinuous series of flowers. A few min nows Introduced into the water will usually thrive without further care, and afTord a pleasing study. . - - - Adapt your Shoes to your Feet. Why it should be desirable to have a small, weak foot any more than a small and weak brain is not easy to conceive. For the purpose of having such small feet, not a few wear boots one or two si.es too small, and about two-thirds of the width of the foot as it would be at the ball if allowed to spread as it does when standing without the confinement of the boot. As a natural and necessary result of such pinching confinement, the foot becomes deformed and larger than It would naturally grow, with en larged joints, and toes turned from a line parallel with the foot to say nothing of the troublesome corns so annoying and crippling to a large class of young women. The worst results of this crip pling custom of wearing small and narrow boots is felt by children when allowed to outgrow their boots. It is poor economy to allow the young to wear boots when the feet have become too large for them, since deformity of the feet is easily produced at this time. When the boot is too short for the wearer, and the heel Is too high, the ingrowing of the nails is a perfectly natural result. Feed Well. If a merchant were to set up half a dozen stoves In his store and attempt to keep a little fire in each and all of them while burning only fuel enough to keep up two good fires, every one would un hesitatingly pronounce it remarkably : foolish. The farmer, in attempting to keep more cattle than he hay grain to feed. Is doing the same thing. The cow is really a machine for making hay and meal into milk and flesh. Just as the stove receives the wood and imparts heat, the cow receives food and returns milk and beef. And as the stove can throw out no beat without fuel, so the cow can give no return without food. If a man had only two cords, there would be no propriety iu his obtaining three stoves and attempting to keep a fire in each of them all winter with such an insignifi cant quantity of wood. The same prin ciple applies to keeping cattle. If a man has only hay enough to keep six animals well, it is extremely foolish for him to try to keep eight. . 1 hdm .ft .:-..-iti- -n - LX 'i x - jm aw The Lightest Running, The Simplest, The MoBt Durable, The Most Popular or SEWING MACHINES.
