All that anyone else can do is to give some of the leading principles upon which success depends.

Avoid placing trees where theyswill be exposed to high winds, or early and !ate frosts in the fall or spring. Often through negied. of this whole orelihrds are ruined.

' Some forms are not well adapted for the production of fruit, but can he greatly hslpsd by manuring, draining or cultivating. Fruit trees should be placed as near the house as possibie, as they are more apt to get the proper care there than if they are at a distance.

Dimensions are 16 by !IS feet, built of logs or any matevial even to brick. The front is IS inches, the back 5 feet or It may be of any height nbme four feet. Set the pests on north side so there will be less than one-haif and not more than three-quarters pitch, ito fi MD 1 te Ito IA '4 HOME -BUILT GREENHOUSE. to admit more noon sun. 'Build the house east and west and of any desired length. Put a roof on the north por- tion; the south end may be covered with snshes of glass, muslin or parchment roper. A roll of parchment paper of toC0 rquare feet costs $2.50. Ifs built of lumber, the honeesivould require about 1,500 feet of ship lap at a cost of about ic20. Ventilation may be proWl in tbe ends through the doors. 1lMised cabbage, cauliflower, tomato, 'sirens, rhubarb, radishes, etc., or in value about $25. The 'hbuse is heated by a stove in one end, with a pipe run through the center near the roof. The beds: are all on the ground. --J. M. Aker, in Farm and Home. GARDEN AND ORCHARD. Generally it is better to bud stone' fruits. Good keeping fruit requires a thick and strong skin. In the north lay the grape vines on the !mend in winter. The apple or pear tree that is forked will split sooner or later. Whenever sweet potatoes are bruised in the milli the mills will soar and the potato will rot. Never prune a tree unless it is abso- lutely necessary. There is no sense in butchering a tree just for exercise or fun. Sweet pot itoes '4% HI not keep moisture. They should be kept in u dry room in a temperature not lower than 45 degrees. One of our subscribers writes that De rinds; soft coal ashes scattered about Currant bushes of use to prevent the ravages of the currant worms.—West- em Plowman. Vista as an Attraction. The object of plants and flowers is to beautify, and the lover of a well-ap- pointed lawn and grounds will make no A nsista,ke if he allows them to beautify tãte commonplace objects about the home. A trim yard of wire netting fur- nishes a moat excellent trellis for vines, while being, at the same time, orna- mented by them. Such a netting fence affords an excellent place for the grow- iog of many kinds of grapes, while the shade thus afforded will be most grateful to the innantes of the yard during the hot weather. Carrying the \utility\ idea still further, one might mention the hop vine as most suitable to train around the doorway. If one is trying to make his grounds look well. it is certainly wise to avail one's self of this easy way to lend beauty, and even s smelli beauty; to what might otherwise be an unattractive object. The Proper Use of Quinces. It is rather a curious fact about the quince that this fruit is less used by itself than as an accompaniment for other fruits. Apples, and even pears, are much improved by having some quinces mixed with them when cooked or canned. Sweet apples, mixed with one-third their ,bulk of quinces, make very good pies. There are some kinds of pears, like Bartlett and Seckel, that are sweet, and when canned they be- come almost tasteless. A few quinces put up with them greatly improves the flavor.—American Cultivator. INTERSTATE MIGRATION. Vast Numbers of People abandon Their Native states and Settle In Others. At least one person in every live na- tive born Americans is living in a state other than that in which he was born— a striking instance of the mobility of. the people of the United States. The native population of the United States, vecording to the last census, was 65,- 343,302, of whom more than one -fifth, or 21.3 per sent., were living in adopted states, states tile National Geographic- al Magazine. It is interesting to note the number of sons and daughters which the dif- ferent slates have sent out. New York has sent nut more than 1.300,000, Penn- -ylvania nearly 1,000,000, Ohio more than 1,100,000, Illinois over 1,000,000 and Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri. Tennettnee and Virginia over 500,000 each. Proportionately to her popula- tion Vermont has given to her sister states more than any other member of the union. Vermonters equaling in numbers nearly one-half of the pres- ent native population of the state are living in other states. Virginia, New Hampshire. Nevada. Maine and Dela- ware have each sent out numbers equaling about one-third of their pres- ent meths population. Numerically Illinois has received more citizens from other states than any other state' of the union---snearly a million; R55.000. have entered Mis- souri. s38,000 Texas and over half a million New York and Ohio. The state, that show a net gain from this intermi- gration are Misssachnsetts, Rhode Is - 'and and Connecticut of the New Eng- land states; New Jersey, West Virginia and Flovida of the Atlantic coast stater. The other New England states and New York. Pennsylvania and all the southern states as fares Mississip- pi have suffered net losses. For in - lance. New York has had a net loss of n(16,000, Ohio 612.0e0 and Virginia 45.1 - 422. Indiana. Illinois. Wisconsin snd Missouri. the Ocat states of the mid- dle west, have each experienced con- siderable net losses, while Michigan. Minnesota, Iowa, Arkansas, Louisiana and all the stales west to the Pacific coast have made gains. Texas has gained the most of all --629,000.
