Don't!

Uon't let the weeds get the start of you. Keep the ground well stirred.and not onty will the weeds be kept down, but the crops will be greatly beneüted by the loosening and comminution of the soil - a more important matter, indeed, than the killing of the weeds. Don't fail to thin out the fruit, if your trees are heavily loaded. Inexperienced growers are apt to rejoice in ihe number of their apples or peaches. "What a magniöcent erop I shall have," is the thoug-ht of such a one, as he looks with delighted anticipation upon his loaded trees. But it isn't numbers, but size and quality, that count at harvest-time. Thirty or forty fine large apples are easily worth a hundred or more small, half-grown specimens. Two-thirds to three-fourths of the fruit which sets may often be removed with advantage. Don't neglect the kitchen garden. If properly laid out, so that most of the work of cultivating can be done with a horse, the time and trouble required to keep it in order will not prove a heavy tax, and the satisfaction derived wiïl be large. Fresh vegetables iu goed variety add much to the pleasure and wholesomeness of the table, and if there are cliildren on the farm (that best of all the farmer'a crops) it won't lessen their attachment to farm life to be fed plentjfully with green peas, sweet-corn, delieious Limas, and other "garden sass" in season, freshly gathered. Don't forget the garden and orchard iusects. Their name ia legión. They don't forget to be on hand at the proper time, nor to attend strictly to business. Learn what they are. Find out their habits. Keep a sharp eye out f or them. App'y the proper remedies so far as you can discover what they are, as promptly as possible. Try to get your neighbors to do the same, and rid the whole "count ry side" of them. Combined action will of ten do wonders in clearing a neighborhood of und3irable visitors. At any rate do your part, and set a good example.
