. A correspondent takes the ground that
apples trees inclined to :drop their fruit
after full blossorniug can be made to bear
hea-vy °rope by sovviug laud plater over -the -
trees when in,full born, while wet svith
the itiorniag dew, im thoroughly that it will

tried this plan „" several :times on .large
trees that never bore a peek of apples '; the
result was too many apples." The idea, is
worth the attehtion of fruit growers in
view of the fact that the minute army of
thrips and :mites of the blosaorn and leaf is

Through the summer months the hen
houees should have a therougla cleaning out
once or twice. .Beforecold weather sets in,
if there are any doubts as to the cleanh.

and done. In the first ,place remove all the
droppings from the house and sweep the
floor clean. Then sprinkle air•slacIted lime
and aeheti thickly thereon, Wattli all the
perches (after all patches of manure have
been scraped off) with beanie lime white.

cleanser and purifier known. And one at.

moment think of smoking thefts out with
brimstone. A thorough cleansing must be
gone through with twice each year After
the floor is cleaned, the sidnignuest bcoTes,

l'ainor Farm Notes.
There is no better substance to use about
garden plants than soot. It has excellent
,manurial properties, and it is distasteful to
insects.

The hay orpp of New England is one of
the' heaviest on record, .New Hampshire
leading off (proportionately) with' an esti-
mated yield. Of 631,536 tone.
A farmer recommends the growing of two
crops of buckwheat in succession, as a
means of exterminating wire -worms. • He
, says:they will not eat buckwheat, and are
starved to deaths - • ' •
„ The brilliant blaze. of a bed of scarlet

Blinkers ,
Thequestion has often been asked, Why.
do horses wear blinkers?", We 'cannot
answer the question. It seSnas to us that'
they are useless, ugly, and, to some extent,,
njuriou to the eyeaig,ht. The most beau-
tiful feature of the horse is bee -ye.: If it
were not 'hid. from .ohregaze;"- -it wctiild
serve to denote sickness, pain, or pleasure.
Many a time would a driver spare the whip
on seeing the animal's impioring eye. , The
; a.rguraent in fatter 61 blinkers is, we believe,
that horses are afraid of passing Carriages.
Male objection, if valid, is of little weight,
as fitich timidity would soon ,be overcome.
We trust, now thegruel bearing rein has
been cast aside, that blibliers will ale° be
abandoned—a Course whin' vdould,..we feel

CHIOAGO,• july 23, 1883.—Rev. Dr.. J.
Spencer Kennard DearSir,—I have read
your reported sermon, delivered yesterday,
with great interest. 1 have to thank you
for your kindness of feeling manifested and
the absence of that vigor •,of orthodoxy
which seems to be. but a 'convert form; of
saying "damn yen." But I'ann not saying
this as 'an expression: of 'surprise.' One
would have expected this excellent Spirit
in you; but the point of my gratificationis
that the time has come for an; honest
dis-
oussion of the old- 004 the new theology.
If conducted irsChristiasa spirit, good can --
not but come out Of it. It is hardly to be
expected that•either side will have a whole
victory. But another generation will...find
itself iipon a higher level.'
Allow nde to Bay- Of MY own position,
that I know that I aria orthodox and
evangelieal as to facts and substanee of the

that I am net orthodok ite to the philosophy
which has hitherto been applied to those
facts. I am a Cordial Christian evolutionist.

4111111E GENUINE COWBOY.-
Kerne of the Characteristics ot n Peculiar
Class of Frontiersmen. ,
A genuine cowboy is worth deseribing.
In many respects be is a wonderful crea-
ture. He. endures hardships that would
take the lives of most men, and is, there-
fore,a perfect type of physical manhood.
He is the finest horseman in the world, and
excells in all the rude sports of the field.
He aims to be a dead shot, and universally
is. Constantly during the herding season
he ride e Severity miles a day and a majority
of the year sleeps in -the open air. His life
in the saddler Makehim worship his horse, ,
and it, with u rifle and a six-shooter,,, com-
plete his -happiness. ---,Of vice in the ordin-
ary, Sense heknowsnothing. He is a rough, .
Uncouth, brave and generous creature, who
never lies or cheats. It is a mietake to
imagine that they are a dangerous set.
Any one is as safe with them as with any
people in the world, unless he steals' 'a
horse or is hunting for a fight. In their
eyee•death is mild punishment far horse
stealing. Indeed it i the highest crime
known to the unwritten. law of the ranch.
Their life, habits, education .and necessities
breed this feeling in them.. But with all
this disregard of human life there are less
murderers and out-throategraduated from
the cowboys than from among the better
educated claetiO.E3 of the East who come out
here for Von tire or gain.. They delight hi
appearing rougher than the,' are. To ai
tender -foot, as they call an Esaterp man,
they love to tell blood -curdling stories and.
impress Jahn with thee dangers .on the .
frontier. But no man, need get into a
quarrel with them unless he seeks it, or
get armed uulees he commits some crime.
They very often own an interest iu the
herd theyare watchiiag, end very fre-
quently become owner e of ranehes. The
Bluaig of the range they' always use to
.perfectioa, and in season or out Of season.
Unless you want to insult them, never offer
a Cowboy pay for any little kindness he has
.done or for a sh'are of his rude meal. If
the changes that are corning to stock -
raising should take the cowboy from the
range, ite mostsinteresting feature will be •
gone.—ji-ans a s Letter.
IT would be an idle task to recapitulate
to.daa, the qualities that have made Mr.
Bright's name a power M the land. His
eloquence has been analysed a thousand
times, and full justice has never been want
, -
Mg to its nobility, simplicity aricl impres-
sive Weight. Lord Palmerstori once in.
dulafed na an ill-bred eneer at one of Mrs
-
Bright's speechee by referring to him after-
wards in tho. debate as "t 10 reverend
gentleman." It is just What Palmerston
bit at in tbi's unmaenerly sarcasm that has
made Mr. Btight's oratory a•greitt poiitioai
force. The secret of it is that there has
always been a soul in his speeches and his
polities, a humanity, a morality. 13ut at
the back -of -his -eloquence therehas always
been his character; its steadfastness,
its phtintess, ite sincerity, its mass.
,There. ,could be no better illustration
than Mr. Bright's peculiar place in the
affectionate esteem of his ,couritrynama of
the asceedency of character, aP,art almost
from opinions and frena achievements.—
Pa Maligazette.
