jg^^'Junc and July arc the l)est 

 months for removing large limbs from 

 trees. The wounds v/ill sooner heal in 

 those months than in anv of the others.

"Sparp] the Ror.r.LN.s." — An exami- 

 nation was made of the crop of a robbin 

 by an officer of the Horticuii.ural Society 

 of Massachusetts a few days S'nce, and 

 it was found to contain one hundred and 

 sixty-two larvie, which belonged to the 

 cnrculio family. 



Weeds are .sometime.^ useful. On 

 worn out lands they should be suftered 

 to gi'ow, ami in tbrct or four years they 

 will restore fertility. Liebig says that 

 the worn out fiehls nmr Naples recover 

 their fertility from leing given up to 

 weeds. 



Remedies. — For pdi-evil, apply a 

 liniment made of Ma* apple root and 

 tallow. For foot-evil, clean the foot 

 Avith soap suds and turnin a composition 

 made of tar, brimstone \{,nd spirits tur- 

 pentine. For scratches, make a lini- 

 ment of melted lard ami loot, and dress 

 twice a, day. 



Aroma iic Seeds. — Fenml is a pe- 

 rennial. Its seeds are yerj agvoeablc, 

 and its early leaves and stalls; are some- 

 times used for early sallads. Dill is an 

 annual plant, and j)rouuccs will if si^vru 

 early. (^ua\vay is a perennial, and a 

 ton of seed can be raised to an acre. — 

 Coriander i.s an annual. Its t.ee<ls arc 

 used to se;>son meat, ami also in confec- 

 tionary.

Cnrrent Events. 



The selling of milk from diseased cows, 

 from swill milk cows, has made quite a sensa- 

 tion in New York. The circumstances of 

 there being very bad milk used in the city 

 for many years, .appears to have been known 

 to the good inhabitants of Gotham, but they 

 are a very forbearing people and have allowed 

 the evil to go on until an outburst was un- 

 avoidable, and the rifrhtman, as usual at such 

 times, appeared, capable of giving the facts 

 and stamping an authenticity upon them, 

 which resulted in those mrmicipal measures 

 that were to root out the nuisance, and vindi- 

 cate the majesty of the people. Mr. Frank 

 Leslie, editor of the Illustrated Ncics, had 

 thoroughly investigated the subject before 

 his paper beeamp, the medium of those truly 

 terrible revelations that have since been pro- 

 mulgated. That a cow could be so diseased 

 as to lose her tail pretty near the root, lose 

 her skin by the least abrasion, have ulcers 

 oozing their macerations from unusual parts 

 of the body, have her gentle fonu changed 

 into ugliness and deformity, at length be un- 

 able to stand up, and then be slaughtered for 

 the market, would seem to be an impossibility 

 in this enlightened land. Think of feeding 

 children with rotten milk, poisoning the 

 whole current of their life, stunting their 

 man and womanhood, think of ourselves con- 

 suming it, drinking it, making custards of it, 

 worse yet, letting it sour and making cake of 

 iti Uruce, the African traveler, met a peo- 

 ple in Abyssinia, who cut steaks from tlie 

 living brute and then patched the wound up, 

 but the New Yorkers are more humane, and 

 let the animal die first, and then have the 

 steak. Had Jacob Strawn known this when 

 he sent beeves to, or prepared them for, the 

 New York market, had he known the appre- 

 ciation of meat there, he might have been 

 richer than he now is. Had our friend, 

 Jiiit.^-s X. Brown, knov/n what real meatwas, 

 he need ^.t have devoted a whole life to the 

 rearing and porv'«,.ting of cattle. Have you 

 live.r road Dickens' "Oliver Twist," or Eugene 

 Sue's "\Vaudcring Jew,"— the latter a vciy 

 bad book — if you have, you may find in fic- 

 tion aiiuiKmnt of depravity aboht equal to 

 these sWJI milk disclosures of New York. 

 lint the rs-^ Yorker.s are a foi bearing peo- 

 ple, they lik» t<j j^g tempted, their prayer is, 

 "lead us into V„ptation that we may show 

 our power of res»f..,i,.c over it." thov hare
