The Food and Raiment Nature rtrea tba Carth. Dead leaves should not be allowed ta go to waste and be blown by the wind lar away freiu the places where thev ara required to afford a mulch and manure to the roots of fruit trees, vines, sfirubs and flowers. They cantata the ingre dient necessary for promoting the growth af ulaats, which have been ex tracted from the soil and brought into a tuitable condition to be absorbed by the sponge-like mouths or tibrous rood. All tba dead leaves that lail frem the fiuit trees, vioea. canes, etc., ebauld be collected and applied at much to the roots or the piauts from which the fell, and kept lu piucv by Druab, or m covering of coinpoat heavy enough to keep them down. Dead leaves are useful far covering strawberry beds, rhubarb aloolt, and the roots of peren a la I flowers. They lorm valuable ma torial for hot beds when nixed with alternate layers af stable manure, as they absorb and moderate the clrong heat arising from the latter, and give out a mild heat for a considerable length of time. Dead leaves may be used with good effect fur covering pita of celery cabbage, carrots aud other vegetables repairing protection from treat '. a LOOSE REIN. A Tight Ram the Mistake of Driven. Wliv Is It that so many of oar far mer, and nearly all of oar city carters Insist on uaing a light rein ou working horses f When a harse left to hit natural inclination has a heavy load to npU, he can best exert his baek-bono into eoe eeotinuou line, and this he will invariably d if not prevented by a tight check rein. Some claim that It prevents a herae from falling down, and when a man can raise mnwau over a fence by a lift of hia suspenders, we will believe it. W hen a horse falls, a tight rein will most eflectually prevent bias from getting en bis feet agaiu. MARRIED LQTl. A Cheerful Hearth of More Worth than Gold. Da not run much frein home; one'a own hearth is of more worth thaa gold. Many a marriage begins like a reay rooming, and then fella away like a anew wreath. And why t Because the married pair, neglect to be as well- plraslmrto ekch other after marriage aa before. Endeavor always to plaaaa one another. Consider, ye daughtora, what the word "wife" expeeeees. The tear ried woman it the husband's domestic faith. ' Hit honor and bit heme ara under her keeping hit well-being in bar band. Think of this!

Scientific men in Europe have fouad out by investigation that while heath clover plant, fas a geed eoiL are term ing oo hundred pound ol steans and leave that will make hay, the root be low, divested of dirt, will weir h fifty -six pound, allowing two veer for growth nd three cutting ef the clover, two of th second year and one of first.
