CHATS WITH MOTHERS. Occupation for children means happi- ness ; the little ones who have nothing to do are inevitably fretful and mia- chievouH, ao it behooves mothers to find suitable and varied employment tor their young folks. A favorite pursuit liecomea momotonous if indulged In too long, and the guiding spirit of the nur- sery and school-room must rack her brains for a change of occupation when the children are confined to the house by bad weather. Silver paper, which comes from choco- late, packet* of tobacco, and elsewhere is generally prized; though the little ones don't know what to do with it ; if a tiny ball is formed of the first piece, and other portioos are added sQowtall fashion, a very young child can make for itself a capital ball, ^ills of paper neatly folded for father to light his cigar are another source of delight, and the boy or girl making these has the additional pleasure of knowing it is love's labor. It is always advisable to inculcate the lessons of good nature and unselfisb- uess when the children set to work. Let the older ones paint pictures and till scrapbooks for the hospitals, whilst the wee ones can tear up paper as a stuffing fof simple charity pillows. Well-to-do little people are so loving- ly and thoughtfully treated nowadays, that tbey are in danger of thinking that everjrthing Is theirs by right, and it is all important to teach them to â- hare their plavthln^ really and cheer- fully aind to lie ready to give up to 3t hers less fortunate than themselvea. Children's colds should never be neg- lected. It is a ^reat mistake to send a littU one out in the W'inter with an incipient or a developed cold. There 'ire mothers who fear to coddle and weakeia the child by keeping him in the house, sad ao let him ,gu out to increase the mischief, which may per- haps and in an attack on the lunga. " Prevention is better than cure " and •a soon as a cold shows itself, the little patient should be ((iven remedies. A day spent entirely m one room, where the tempeuture is evenly kept, often affects a cure, while frequent drinks of warm lemonade, made with the rind. are efficacious ; the addition of the peel renders the leverage somewhat bitter and leas toothsome, but it is much more of a medicine than the plain lemon wa- tsr. Dry rubbing the chest, back and sidea of the body with a handful of mustard, and flour, in about equal proportions, is another good remedy for a cold on the cheet. The mustard draws a lit- tle, but not nearly so much as a poul- tice, whilst it is a far more agreeable application than any sort of oil. which makes the little patient damp, and hia clothes greaay. One of the worst things that can hap- pen to a ohild is to be frightened. The mischief that has resulted from a sud- den shock cannot l)e overstated; faint- ing fits, weak nerves, illness of the brain, hysteria and St. Vitus' dance can often be traced to a severe fright, [t m not, however, an easv matter to avoid everything calculated to arouse fear, but parent.8 must t ry and educate their children so that their nerves are good and steadv. Teach the little ones to love animaLs, and whilst discouraging the habit of fetting and stroking strange dog.s, let _ hem have no fear if one runs by bark- ing. One of the greatest bugbears of ohild-life is the darkness, and how many little hearts sink down to zero,, when left alone in the dark Iwdrooin I 7f a boy or girl from babyhood .sleeps in a room where there is no light, and knows nothing to the contrary, this terror will not exist, unless some thougfatleafi or ignorant person surc^-eds in frighten- ing him or her, a cnntingoncy urgent- ly to l)e guarded against.

HEALTH OF GIRLS. In an age when the higher edU(»tion of women is so much conMidered. and when so many aacrifioes are made by parenta and guardians that the girl's mental training should be quite up to the standard of that accorded her bro- thers, it is well to voice the caution that her physical health should be more thoroughly looked after. Edw- catiors who arc also observers of the relative oharacteriatioa of men and wo- men say that it is the girl always who is most painfully conscientious to make all possible use of her opportunities. The bov. they tell Ui, will, without urging take to exercise and healthy bodily training, even if school tasks are ne- glected. The girl, 'being morbidly oareful to fulfil her whole duty, has tX) be sent to the sports tu which her brother betakes himeelf naturally. When mothers complain of their daughters immature ligureis the hy- gienlst retorts, "What gymnastic ex- ercises did you require ot them 1 It is the age tor exercise of the body as well as of the mind.

Be said ; "We pcrUne for two reasonsâ€" to pro- duce a symmetrical, long-lived tree, and to cause fruit fulnass. A thrifty, fast- growing tree is not apt to prodluce mfuch fruit. Anything that wiill dim- inish the flo^v of sap to the top of the tree will check the exclusive liml) growth and tend to the production of truitL This may be accomplished by root pruning. The same result is ob- tained by some orcharditits by ranning a thin-ljladed knife entirely around the tiiunk of the tree, cutting clear through the bark. This will almost invariably cause a thrifty, barren tree to produce fniit; without iujivry to the tree, if it be done as soon in the spring as the tree has entered into vigorous growth aind the wound is kept from the direct rays of the siun. "•tune is said to be the best month in which to prune. tApril, May, July and October are fairly good. If pro- perfly done in the spring or early sum- mer moniths, the wound of a reason- aUle-sized limb will heal over in about three years. It is not usually advisaj>le to prtine in the winter. If done during or shortHy liefore severe freezing, the haiik about the wound will -split and die l)ack to an uncertain extent, mak- ing a wound slow to heal. And yet if 111 be impoHsible to prune at any other time, it had liettep be done in winter thjin not at all. "Ati the base of each limb is an en- largement more or leas prominent, call- ed the collar by some. Cut as close to this as possible bnd upon the same slant, whether that be straight across or, at an angle. Cse the .saw u|Kin the undeir side of the limb first, .sawing aliout aa far as possible. Then finish from the top, being sutre to cut the Ijark entirely around before the limb bnviks. Smooth with a knife or chisel if necessary and cover all largw wounds with thick paint. Prune frequently, jnit never excessively. Excessive prun- ing tenils to the production of water sprouts, which are not desirable. Never remove the "lender" or allow two on metre branches to start from the same point of the tr|ink. Never remove a limb that starts near the trunk of the tree from another limb, as the latter will almost invariably break off after a Lim«» at the point where the other limb was removed. i "ft is pcesible to strengthen to some extent a crooked tree by (Irawing a knife lengthwise, oulting through the bark on the inside of the crook. The demand for beautifully straight trees by ill-informed liuyers has caused nur- serymen to cease the propagating of trees of some ot Jur most desirable fruits l>e<'ause straight trees of those varieties cannot )>e grown until they reach several years of age. The Rhode Lsland greening and Belmont apples, th« Winter Nullia pejir and .s(nue var- ieties o( pliun.s are ot this class." HENS' OR PULLETS' EGGS FOR HA'rCHtNG. In there a difference In hen^' or pullets' eggs for hoitching, or is it m matter or fancy 1 It Mre consider them tw^parately, what shall we find? Pullets l>egln to lay first, naturally, and if w» should use their eggs in October or November* the chances are they would not produce as Htirong chicks as we desire. Takei for int<tanc« the S. C. W. Leghorns. 'rheirs are the ideail hatching eggs, e«|>ecially for an inculiator. Tbef shells l>eing thinner than the dark egg strains, the chicks tree themselves quicker an<l hence seem, at the start, m'uch more lively. But, as a rule, eggs from this lu-eed are not used so early, hence the early iiullets' eggs are notl apt to lie set. At the regular iiatcb- ing .season for this breed, whichi is from April Lsil to I5th, .the pullets would then be eleven months old and in full lay, meaning from tea to twelve eggs pdr day from about twenty head. If their eggs are then not .strong enough to produce fir.st-cjass chicks, it is our opinion they never will lie, tor the birds are fully matured and are in the pink of condition in all their qualities. If we take the heavier feathered breeds, like the Plymouth Rocks, we find theii" pullets fully aa mature<l at the< legulat' nat<.'hing season as the White Leghorns, as they .iTe hatched earlier and gronv slower. Therefore it till hinges iini whe^n IK'e want to .set iiullets' ogg.s, whether they are strong or not. If for tvirly broilers, we .should prefer de- cidedly hens' eggs, as we feel quite sur<* of t heir maturity, but it tor batch- ing thickens in ?he regular .spring .season we cannot .see any particle of difference. A correct mating, however, would ^ery materially increase our chances tor strong, health v chicksâ€" n one-year-old vigorous cock for pullets« and a well-matured, lively cockerel tor oue-year-'jld hens. As to the l)eliet ot .some breeders that two and three-year-old hens hatch the stronge.st chickens, w^e think it rather stretching the iioint. There is but lit- tle profit in keepihg hens after I hey have paasfld through t heir hen year, 'rhe White br Hrown Leghorns fre- quently continue to lay well when two or three years oJd, linrt it is an excep- tion and not the rule. Females of all the heavy Iweed-s deteriorate materi- ally atletr their hen year. Of course there is occasionally an exceptional hen, li.it we never find her in large flocks) for the reason that l>reeders ot largo flocks have no time to study each ou| hen's peciili.aritiea â€" this is left almost' entirely to the l:ucik-yard fancier. In all such expeiitnenl-s it l)ecome.') a Oiatteir of care and feed. .PuUeta Iwdly cared for and indifferently fed will not maturo as they should, andi henc« their eggs wiill not l)e tit to pro- duce chicks of any kind. Hiens allow- ed to sit around and grow tat will de- velop into useless ornaments, and their offspring will not be strong enough to grow up, LOCATING TffK PEAR ORCHARD. A slightly descendijng slope is most favoraWe in order to precipitate drain- :ige and the discharge ot surplus surface 'viitar, l)»it it is not oasenlia,l that any particular point ot I ho compass should be souured. Hhelter from the rake ot the wind is feuportant. The pear is a companiouabile tree and will iuxui'i- ate fchen supported by othea: trees around it. In cdose garden culture a degree of bumidity u> preserved and Iheire is less eva{>oration from the foli- age where the strong winds are brok- ein, the growth will l>e more vigoraus and healthy. There must, however, be sufficient air and Munligbt to mature the wood and the fruit. If the site is high, it will Ije an advantage to plant an eveigreeu t>elt to the wind- ward, Ijoth tor the health ot the trees and also to prevent i he tailing of the fruit during high winds. On the other hand, a low, cold and peaty position, subjec-t to fogs and frosty nights, is objectionable. A strong, retentive loam inclined to clay is a preferable soil. THE HOME DAIRY. It on ev'ery farm more attention is paid to the home dairy, a belter pro- duct/ of butter will be turned out, and a greater yield per cow will tie realized. The better the artiuls the more sure the sale; and the larger the yield per cow the greater the net profit. Never tiy to do dairy worki'with Ijeef (»ttle. Never trust alone to the pastiore to aupply the food. Be sure So have necessary conveniences of the best kind for semiring the full quantity ot Ijlitter fat froim the milk. Every home dairy shu(U!ld raise its choicest heifer calves, in order that the supply of good dairy cowB may be kept up. It will pay fur the trotible and ex- pense. Keside the ready sale at all seasons for good butter, the milk can be utilized in many ways, and the drop- pings in the barnyard will be valu- able as a fertilizer Build up the home dairy on a strong Itasis. FEEDING VALUE OF APPLES. We do not think enough ot the val- ue! of the orchard for feeding its fruits to the farm animals. Apples are nut- ritious, and an aid to the good diges- tion of other foiKl. The mild acid ot them is excellent for the health of the stock and we all know how gratefully tbey will receive a feed of theini at any time. For the cows they are e-specially deairahle; a [wck of them chopped and sprinkled with meal o£ any kind, will he'Ip much to add to the flow of milk rvf the COWB. Horses love this fruit, aind they tend to help in the shedding of the coat, by their gently laxative effect. When the selection is rmide for the spring planting, a few of .some of the sweet varieties, ripening from the siiunmeor to the winter, should not t>6 forgotten for this use. We may Ijegin with the early Sweet Bough for the first, then the autumn S^veet Bough aind the old Pumpkin Sweet, and for later use there are the Talman Sweet and the Winesap. all productive sorts and unexcelled tor this use as well aa tor market.
