ground, and when it is found important
to top dress annually with manure,
rather than to depend on mere cultiva
tion. Fig. 3 exhibits the form of low trained
peach trees, as adopted by some of our
best managers of peach orchards. The
peach tree should bd subjected to freft
cultivation, as it receives more check
and gives smaller and poorer fruit when
this is neglected, or when the land is
seeded to grasi It may be well to add
that on account of the tendency of the
peach to lengthen the growth of its
hranHies in successive years the side
shoots gradually dying and disappearing j
continual cutting back of the branches j
is required to keep the tree in good
ihape and within bounds. This may Le
done by annually cutting ft one-half,
two-thirds, or more of ever, n -.e year
ihoot, in early spring; or by c itiing off
two or three yeai-8 growth at a time
- from all the longer branches, taking
care to leave enough youn.-r wood, and
always cutting back to a fork, eo as not
to make a dead projectiug stub.
Dwarf pear trees are always trained
low, but they will receive unlike treat
ment by different managers. One,
known as the half standard, has the stem
two feet or more high, and the other the
low pyramidal, as in Fig. 4. Neither

generally known that tlie chokeberry
can be used as a st: c' for dwarfing ap

ples on.it successfully. "
One of tlie reasons why peaches do
not succeed on land long cultivated is
hick of mineral plant food. Tho peach
is usually planted on liht or sandy land
that has at best but very little mineral.
The seed can not form without potash,
and lacking this the peaches fall off soon
after setting. It is believed by some
that lack of potash is the predisposing
cause to tho disease known as peach
yellows. When taken early enough thia
disease has been cured by heavy appli
cations of German potash Balls.

nutmegs are picked out and sorted the
inferior ones being reserved for the od
press. As the essential oil of nutmeg
brings a liighpnice dishonest growers
often steep the nutmegs in hut water
to extract the oil from them.
They tiro then coaled with limo and
sent into the channels of commerce.
Such nutmegs are worthies: their
aroma and pungency have disappeared
these qualities being due exclusively to
the oil. If on inserting a pin no oil

J't-rlmps one of tlie best ways of fix
ing the words and idioms of a language
in one's mind is to teach them to some
body else. The learner should try to
impart to some member of Lin family
what, lie has already mastered. lie
should above all seek command first o!
words in familiar use leaving to a later
stage of his progress ths forms of
literary expressions; his first business
is with the common objects of daily
life, his last business is with general
terms. As he sits nt his desk he
ought to be able to name every article
about him just as w hen he is riding in
the street car or ou the railway lie
should be ble to mentally recall the
equivalent ior every detail in the
moving panorama of objects. Uoston
