In laying out land for orchard planting the use of a wire marked with solder gives far more accurate measurement and is more time'saving than a measuring pole and . a . o . . - .g. o o e o o e'a a , " I 4 i 4 I .7 .' 'a r 6 lMl'ROVED ORCHARD CHAIN. stakes. A light galvanized wire is best, and the drops of solder that mark the dis- tance required for the trees,or vines,should be prominent enough to be seen readily when the wire is on the ground. In taking the Wire from the coil it should be unrolled, not pulled out from the end, as in the latter case the wire is more liable to take short kinks that interfere with its accuracy. About 100 yards is the limit of length of wire that can be readily handled by two men on fairly level land. On undulating land a third man will be needed at the middle of the wire. The ends of the wire are made fast to the middles of two short, stout sticks which serve as handles in mov- ing the wire. on the ground for marking, it is held in place by pegs set against these handles. In marking oil" the orchard, the first step is to run a base line a, as seen in the sketch, along one side of the field. The wire is stretched tight and straight where the tree row is wanted, the handles are pegged down and then each solder mark has a peg put down beside it. The Wire is then car- ried to the opposite side of the proposed orchardâ€"if that be not more than a wire’s length distant,â€"snd again stretched exactly parallel to the base line, b, and each solder mark pegged as before. This is a guide line, merely. The distance from the base line is not material, but it is material that it be exactly parallel. Now the actual work of laying off the orchard begins. The ' wire is stretched along the side of the field, at right angles to the base line, c,the first solder mark touches the first peg on the base line, the wire touches the corres- ponding peg on the guide line, is made tight and straight, fastened down, and a peg placed on each solder mark . Then the wire is moved down the field a peg, d, and the operation repeated. If all has been done with care and correctness the pegs will range straight both ways and any number of diagonals may be sighted greatly to the pleasure of the lover of exact work. Getting theISeed Ready. The rough, cold, rainy, or snowy days of winter may be spent to advantage indoors. The seed corn is to be selected, if it was not done in the field when gathered, as it should have been. Choose long, thin ears with deep, long, narrow grains. Such corn will ripen early and will yield from fifty to sixty bushels“of shelled grain to the acre. Carefully select four or five bushels of ears of such corn out of the corn crib and spread them upon the upper floor of the barn or in the granary, where they can be kept dry and free from vermin. It may take several days to pick out the right kind of seed,but it is time well spent. The garden sweetoorn should be likewise as carefully selected. The editor knows of a gardener who gets two dollars a bushel for all his “evergreen sweet corn,” and has done so for a number of years. A farmer grows some 200 bushels of yellow corn,true to name, for which he receives an extra price. These extra prices are received by those growers who are careful to make a proper selection year after year. It should never be forgotten that it is just as import- ant to make a careful selection of farm or garden seed for one’s own planting or sow- ing as if the seeds were grown for sale. The corn should not be shelled oil. the cob, as it gathers moisture when shelled and kept in bulk. It should be shelled by hand a few weeks before planting. Seed oats, if oats are grown, should be run through the fanning mill four or five times. Take off the chaifscreeus and put in screens Nos. 3,4,aud Put a last screen in the upper notches of the mill. This will keep the oats longer outhe screen, and u. more complete separation of the heavy grains from the light and chafly Will be had. The mill should be turned briskly and the oats put into the hopper gradually. Oats so cleaned will be worth sixty to seventy cents per bushel, and when drilled two bushels will seed an acre. Carrot,psrsnip, and best seeds may be cleaned in the same wa . Z large number of farmers,on their lime. stone soils, raise clover seed, and take cold Winter weather to thresh itnut. It threshes better out of the hull. Such seed should be recleaned, so the light seed can be blown out of it, besides the light weed seeds. This is important. as only prime heavy seed is wanted. Dealers in clover seed say that the best seed comes from the \Vest. This is occasioned by our farmers not being careful enough in their cleaning of the home-grown article before sending it t 3 market. The hay cha'T from the hay mews should be carefully gathered every few weeks and kept stored in a dry place, and early sown thickly over the pasture. This seedling will thicken the sod and driwa out weeds. Wire Worms. This pest is one of the most harassing the farmer is called upon to deal with. In attacked. dressing with soot and rolling should be tried, or nitrate of soda to stimu- late the plants, says an exchange. It should be harrcwed in if possible. It is suspect/5d that wire worms are abundant in land sown with grass ; some rape seed should be sown with the seeds to attract the wire worms, until the grasses are estab- lished. In meadow land infested with wire worms,rolliug with a very heavy roller is sometimes beneficial. Salt at from five to seven cwts. per acre is sometimes useful, and folding sheep with mangels or swedes carted on to the grass land is a most valuable remedy. WOLSELEY’S PLUCK. -4â€" The Bravery of Lord Weiseiey, Then Captain. in the Crimean War. On the 3lst ofAugust, about 12.30 a. m., a small party of Russians made an attack on our extreme right advanced works. There was no covering party at hand, “and the working party fell back in confusion before one-third of their numbers, in spite of repeated attempts of Capt. \Volseley to rally them." The Russians destroyed about fifty yards of the sap, and then fell back ‘200 yards into the Dockyard Ravme, whence they kept up an incessant fire. The Gervsis Battery, from the other side of the ravine, played on the head of the When the wire is strewheg {sap, and in a short time we had twelve casualties out of sixty-five men. “'heu the Russians retired Capt. Wolseley got some sappers to work to repair damages, but this was difficult, as they had to labor under a shower of bullets, round shot, and shells, and the work progressed only by Capt. \Volseley and a Sergeant, Royal Engineers, working at the head of the sap. Wolseley was on his knees, holding the front gabion, into which a Sergeant, work- ing also in a kneeling position, threw earth over his Captain‘s shoulder. The gabion was half tilled, when it was struck in the centre by a round shot from the Gervais Battery. \Volseley was terribly wounded, and, indeed, the Sergeant pulled his body back without ceremony, intending to bury it in camp, when he found the life of his officer was not extinct. Besides grave injuries in the upper face, a large stone from the gabion was driven through the cheek and jaw to the neck, where it lodg- ed ; the right wrist was smashed, and a serious wound inflicted on the shin. Strange to say, he did duty, after a rapid temporary recovery, till the armies re~ embarked, the shin wound becoming more serious later, when the bone began to exfoliate. Pleasant Now to Go to the Doctor. That clever adjustment that all things must new practice that hope to survive is nowhere so delghtfully shown as in medi- cine. The visit to the doctors is now robbed of all its terrors. A young girl who recently came through a perilous surgical operation was asked how she felt. “Bored” she ex- claimed languidly, and this was her harsh- est word. Those amiable and scholarly men, those genial companions and friends, those accomplished men of the world have robbed disease of many of its terrors. The sugar- coated pill. the compressed tablet,the gela- tine capsule, are each instances of medical men‘s intention to make himself agreeable. His luxurious waiting room, with its easy chairs,bric-a-brac. its latest magazines and funny papers, is a tempting place to await a pleasant interview, and be recommended to some interesting climate, to a period of absolute repose, to be waited on hand and foot, to have one’s muscles picked up by massage, to experience the curious tittila- tious of electricity, and take milk punches at 11 o'clock and at 4. There are women who'say that the pricking of the vertebrae by electric needles and the searing of the backbone at white heat are sensations in. tercsting and by no means disagreeable. SMOKER’S CRAMP. it Millers Those Who Boll Cigarettes, and Hus Appeared in Europe. A new disease has appeared in Europe, which has been styled smoker‘s cramp. It is very similar in its effects to writer’ cramp or scrivener’s palsy. The disease is caused by rolling cigarettes with one hand. For many years it has been common in Spain,although some smokers are so expert as to make a cigarette with a single twist of the fingers. Sincea law was recently passed in France permitting the manufac- ture of hand-made cigarettes, large numbers of girls have been employ- ed in rolling cigarettes by hand. It is among them that the disease has appear- ed. In Spain, however, it is not confined to the cigarette girls, but is a common ail- ment among the rest of the population who indulge in the fragrant but baneful papel- itO. -â€"â€"â€"â€"â€".â€"â€"â€"â€"-‘ Learning Golf.

Little nasei Dorcty Cured or so Vitus, Dance Alter I’onr Physicians Ind lné effectually Treated The Case. From the Niagara Falls Review. In speaking to a friend recently we were asked if we had heard that little Mabel Dorety, the eight-year-old dau hter of Mrs. Dorety, Ontario avenue, had is miraculously cured of St. Vitus’ dance. We replied in the negative but stated that we would investigate the case and ascertain the facts. Accordingly we visited the home of Mrs. Dorety, when she related the facts as iollows:~â€"".!fy little girl has had a mir- aculous experience. It is about two years and a half since Mabel was stricken with St. Vitns’ dance caused by the weak- ening effects of la grippe and rheumatism. Three local physicians were called in as was also one doctor of considerable reputation from Niagara Falls, N.Y., butin the face of the prescriptions of these physicians and the best of care, Mabel grew rapidly worse. She could not be left alone an instant and was as helpless as an infant as she had no control of her limbs at all- She could neither walk wi hout assistance nor take food or drink. At this stone one of the attending physicians said. 'Mrs Dorety, there is no use in my ’cominghere any more. There is nothing that I know of can be done for your little girl.’ \Vell, matters went on that way for a short time. with no better results till one day I was sure the poor child was dying. I remembered having seen accounts of St. Vitus’ dance cured by the use of Dr. \Villiams’ Pink Pills for Pale People and I determined: to try them. I was skeptical as to the‘ effect and only tried them as a last resort“ but was soon agreeably surprised at the, result. It was not long before they had a good effect and I then felt certain I had found a remedy that could cure my little girl if anything could. In less than three months she was so much better that the dread disease had almost dis- appeared, and the pills were discontinu- ed. In a few months, however, she showed that the symptoms had not. been entirely eradicated from her system, so I had her again commence the use of the Pink Pills. I feel certain that all traces of the:awful malady will be swept away, for she goes to school now and we have not the slightest anxiety in leaving her alone. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills is certainly a grand remedy and I would not be without them under any consideration, for I think they are worth their weight in gold, as in my little girl’s case they have been true to all they advertise. I am only too glad to let’ others who may be unfortunate know of this miraculous cure through the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. When strong tributes as these can be had to the wonderful merits of Pink Pills, it is little wonder that their sales reach such enormous proportions, and they are the favorite remedy with all classes. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the .blood and restore shattered nerves.
