In otbfir words, a praotie« bicb inay be the best for one orchard, not be BO for ^another, becauie Se conditions are far from being Lforffl. To keep tiie ground in an orchard constantly under cullivation) and prod'ucing crops which are re- ffioved annually, will soon exhaust the fertility of the richest soil, unless' some kind of fertilizer is returned to make good the amount taken away. The frequent stirring of the soil, breaking up, disintegrating, and pnlverizing, are beneficial operations, for, by keeping the surface open and looie, we aid the admission of air andmoiiture, both of which contain certain elements which are absorbed l,y the roots and go f«ir towards making up the bulk of all cultivated plants. But as a rule, orchardists do not think that they can afford to plow, harrow, and keep down noxious weeds in th orchard for no other pnrpoee than to benefit the trees and improve the quantity and quality el the fruit; consequently, when they plow, it must be for the purpose of Eowicg or planting, and the orchard is kept constantly occupied with some annual farm crop, or seeded down to eloTer or grass. To show grain of ary kind in an orchard, except on very moist soils, or in a humid climate, celdom fails to check the growth of tlie trees, because the growing grain will take the moisture from the soil !it the very time the. trees need.it most.â€" A.

Burdock Blood Bitters acts promptly upon these organs, restoring them to a healthy action. Cheerful Women. In marrying, men should seek happy women. They make a terrible mis- take when they marry for beauty, or for talent, or lor style. The sweetest wives are those who possess the magio secret of being happy uudSr any and all circumstances. Rich or poor, high or low, it makes no difference, the bright little fountain bubbles up just as musically as their hearts. Mothing ever goes wrong with them â€" no trouble is too serious for them "to make the best of it." Was ever the stream of calamity so dark and deep that the sunlight of a happy face falling across its turbid tides would not awake an answering gleam Why, the joyo3s tempered people don't know half the good they do. No matter how cross and crabbed you feel, no matter if your brain is foU of meditation on "afflicting dispen- sations," and your stomach with medicines, pills and tonics just get one of those cheery women talking to you, and we are not afraid to wager anything she can cure you. The long drawn Unes about the mouth will relax â€" the cloud of settled gloom will vanish, nobody knows where, and the first thing you know you will be laughing Ah, what a blessing are these happy women I How cfien their hands guide the ponderous machine of life, with almost an in- visible touch How we look forward through the weary day to their fireside smiles ISo one knows, no one will Una Aoib.â€" WlMo the Liwr and SidiiiTafailinthcif aetioB, thia ioid mneaM is thrown inta tha bldod. •Miamg BhetunatiBm and othar pain- m eotiditionfl of blood poisoning.
