THINNING FRUIT. I Frait growers would do well to remember j that a great advantage would result to them f if they would systematically thiu out the j fruit on their trees while it is m the early i stages of growth. By thinning out infariot I fruits really good specimens are given room I to grow and develop into fine salable fruits. I By this means worm-eaten, dwarfed, stunted, and Inferior fruits generally may be got rid of with th-5 very greatest advantage to ihe tree, and to the fruits iefr,. An inferior, WOrm-eaten fruit, frequently requires as much nourishment from ihe tree to develop it into an unsalable, indifferent specimen as * fruit of the very beßt quality. The tree, teo, having two mouchs to feed, where it is Able only to sustain one, soon becomes ex hausted, and refuses to yield fruit altogether, or at least only yields fruit of an inferior quality. By thinning out, a small quantity of first-class fruit would be produced. By leaving the fruit unthinned, double (he quantity could be produced, but it would be of inferior quality, and while the larger quantity would cost more to pick and ship it, would not fetch so much money m the market as the smaller or really good fruit. | The larger number would also draw very heavily upon the tree and quickly exhaust it, when disease and death would be the re mit. Many of the best fruit growers of the wotld owe their success to a judicious system of thinning out, and if the practice waß more generally adhered to, we should have au im proved quality of fruit, and more remunera tive and long-lived orchards. FOOD 07 FARM STOCK. Wheaten bran; being rich m flesh-forming substances, is well suited for feeding young ■took ; but it is liable to pass m great part through their stomachs without under growing digestion. Jn order to obviate loss From this cause, it is a good plan to mix it with beans or other binding food. The husk of oats, unlike the thinner skin of wheat, is poor m flesh-forming constituents. It is also deficient m ntarch. Oats, whole or crushed, constitute the best food for hard-worked horses. It is, however, an economical practice to mix them with maize, when a urge number of horses are kept. Barley is a valuable food for cattle Malt-combings or dust are rich m flesh-forming bodies and ■aline constituents. Bere being too in digestible on account of the woody fibre it contains, is an inferior grain. Bye is believed to be good for milch cows, but it is inferior to both oats and barley. Maize or Indian corn is excellent for fattening cattle, and forms a most useful component of well-regulated horse diet. It is rich m fat, containing from 5 to 9 per cent of thiß substance. Buckwheat, when deprived of its hard, indigestible, shell-like husk, is as good as barley for cattle. Beans, peas, vetches, and other leguminous produce, are richer m flesh-forming compouudß than any of the preceding food* They are good for working horses, but may occasion constipa tion if largely given. They ought to be consumed with oats or bran. Oil-cakes con sist of oil-seeds, from which three-fourth* of the oil has been removed hy hydraulic pressure, and are used m conjunction with other foods. Linaeed-cake is dai'y given to bullocks at the rate of from 2to 7 lbs. The usual quantity for. a young animal is between 2 and 3 lbs, according to age, and for sheep not more than £1b per day. It is given at the rate of from 2 to 3 lbs per day to a work ing horse. It is not suitable for pigs, as it makes their flesh soft and oily. Turnips are good for sheep. The Swede is the most valuable, and the Greystone the most inferior of the numerous varieties of this root. Mangels are more nutritious than turnips m the proportion of 76 to 100. Parsnips are richer than mangels, and twice as valuable as Swedes. Beetroots are even better than any of the preceding roots, especially for cattle. Carrots, being somewhat wanting m flesh-formers, are not suitable for young stock, but are, m other respects, equal to pa»nip3. Kohl-rabi contains as much nourishment as the best Swede, stores well, and is Icbb liable to the ravages of insects. Radishes contain 95 per cent of water, and, therefore, are a poor food for animals. Potatoes may be termed the best vegetable food for all animals.

The Portable Swing Water Barrow. Prevention ie Better Than Cure rip HE few cases of Typhoid m Ashburton Borough and Suburbs afford no i. ground for a " scare," but it is only by using reasonable precautions that the dread scourge can be kept within bounds. In view of the subject being referred to m the public journals, it may be of service to reprint an extract from an issue of the " Nineteenth Century " of last year, m which special reference is made to Diphtheria, but which applies with equal force to Typhoid. The writer remarks, that tbe latest epidemics m Russia swept away nearly &U the children m come villages ; and m Prussia, no less than one-sixth to one-fourth part of all children dying m the age of from one to five jears suc- cumbed to Diphtheria, and the same proportion prevailed m Western Europe as well. Keen interest is being taken m tbe experiments of the French Doctors, Bonx and Tersen ; but Diphtheria, like Anthrax, Cholera, Typhoid, Malaria, and other kindred complaints is due to an infection of the body by special bacteria, caused by the effluvia rising from drains, back yards and premises generally, into and upon which dairy and kitchen slops have been thrown. Without an infection by bacteria or the poisons which they secrete, there is no diphtheria. The Portable Wash Barrow is just the one thing indispensable m the direction of perfect sanitary arrangements. By its use, a two-fold benefit is derived. The fever aud diphtheria breeding agencies are removed, and what is otherwise a source of terror becomes an absolute gain, by conveying the waeh to pig trough or to tbe garden. The Portable Barrows can be put to varions kinds of ose, and they arc so admirably con- structed that, with them, a child cau do work which otherwise requires the strength of mature years. The cost is comparatively email.
