AGRICULTURE. PURCHASING AND PLANTING TREKS.— There is a difference of opinion among apple growers, as to the best season oi the year for planting trees. Some pre fer the Fall, others the Spring, If the soil is warm and the site a favorable one, trees planted in the Fall general ly do well. I have found it more con venient and advantageous to purchase the tiees in the Fall and plant them in the Spring. If this method is adopted, select ail elevated piece of ground in the garden or elsewhere, that is dry, and where the trees will be secure from destruction by mice or stock. As soon as the trees are received, with a sharp knife cut off all diseased and broken roots, cutting them sloping on the un der side, and bury the trees in trench es, dug sufficiently deep to allow the roots to be below the action of the frost. Hy Spring the cut roots will be healed over and ready for throwing out new tibres immediately utter planting. When trees are thus purchased and kept, they may be set out in the Spring betore the rush of work comes on. A very Important advantage gaiued by purchasing the trees ill the Fall and burying them, is that they may betak en irom the trenches a tew at a time aud set oat without injury to inc roots. Trees purchased in the c all should not be di g from the nursery rows until the roots have gone to rest, which is usually about the last of October. Roo.- g rat led trees are preferable to top gral led; they are more easily formed into low, round heads, aud are frequently better growers. VYuen selecting trees rtjeotull that are not stocky with brunches near the ground, also,all that have grown in for as. THK POTATO. —It is supposed that the potato is indigenous, and con lit ted to 110 particular part of the world. Mr. Darwin, lor instance, found it wild tn the Chonos archipelago. W. J. Hook er says that it is common at Valparai so, where, it grows abundantly ou the sandy hills near the sea. In Peru and various other paits of i>outh America it appears to he at home. It is a well knowu tact that it was to the colonists whom Sir Walter Rtleigh sent out, iu Queen Elizabeth's reign, that we are indebted lor our potatoes. ilerrist,who went out with these colonists, and who wrote an account of his travels, makes what may, perhaps, be regarded as the earliest mention of the vegetable. Un der the heading of 'Toots/' he men tious what he calls the "opeuawk." "These roots," he says, "are round, some large as walnuts, others much lurgtr ihey grow ou damp soils, many Lunging together as if fixed on ropes; they are good lood, either boiled or iousted." In early times the potato was considered by mauy to be poisou ous and unhealthy, and was avoided a& an article of diet, particularly by the very poor. There are now 22 starch factories in full blast in Aroostook county. Me. Each one of these factories requires from 1,500 to 2000 bushels ol potatoes a day, and as they intend to run 90 days this season, the total quantity of pota toes used w ill reach about 3,00o,Ul)0 bushels. The factories have been pay ing 20 cents a bushel for the potatoes, an unusually low figure, but even at this price the farmers of that sectiou would receive a revenue ot SOOO,cOO from this one source. Some have fields of 40 acres devoted exclusively to po tatoes, and the crop has been known to yield as high as 410 bushels to the acre, 'ihe lactones take both large and small, but the farmers plant the large variety principally, and potatoes weighing one pound and three-quar ters are frequently seen in the bimy BEEF. — Beef is better for food for working people than it is for those of sedentary habits. Beef is mostly muscle, muscle is nitrogenous, and nitrogen, when done with, is cast out through the kidneys. The kidneys are never so active in se dentary people as in manual laborers, especially those that work with their muscles continuously. People of quiet habits should hardly ever eat of beef more than once a day at most. Eating more, they are liable to incur trouble from the accummulation of nitrogen ous matters in the system. Sometimes the appetite will point out the course for Individuals to pursue. It gene rally will, if it is not betrayed by too*many condiments. Laborers a/e more likely to regulate themselves in this matter. A RUN in a good clover stubble will be beneficial to pigs. The yards should be kept as clean as possible, A quan tity ol copperas sprinkled about the pens will deodorize and disinfect the place very satisfactorily and cheaply. Young pigs should be pushed now if they are lor early market. A rapid growth secured now is of the greatest importance. If the stock is not what is desired begin to improve it at once by securing a pure-blood boar of some good breed to use lu the herd. Kallroad Travel Now and in the Past. Two .additional fast express trains have recently been added to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company passenger service be tween Philadelphia and New York, both running through in two hours—the time made by several other fast trains already on the passenger schedule. When the old Camden and Amboy Line was opened to travel, forty years or so ago, the improve ment upon the stage coaches which covered the distance in a long day—and this only under favorable circumstances—was very great; but it was not so great as the im provement upon the primitive railroading which the Pennsylvania Railroad Company has effected within the past ten years. Some of us remember with feelings of misery the six or eight hours in the wretched little cars and in a slow going boat that the journey between these great cities involved, and yet we marveled not a little at what we then regarded as the greatest wonder of the age—a locomotive engine moving at the rate of twelve or fifteen miles an hour. The contrast is no greater between the stage coaches and these old time railway trains, than that between the Camden and Amboy service and the service of the New York Division' of the Pennsylvania Rail road of to-day. From the roadbed up, a complete revolution has been effected. Engines running at the rate of from forty five to sixty miles an hour; cars in which everything is provided for the comfort of the traveler; a system of telegraphic sig naling that secures as absolute a degree of safety as human intelligence can devise and a passenger service of some forty trains a day—these are the main changes which forty years have effected and the practical results are actually greater than those which marked the abandonment of horse power and the introduction of steam. As traveling facilities have increased travel uas increased proportionately. These forty tiains which ply between the two cities every day carry backwards and forwards eight thousand or more passengers—more than in old times made the same journey In a whole year. DOMESTIC. CHOICE GRASSES FOR DECORATION. — A bouquet or vase of properly dried and taatefully arranged grasses of the more graceful sorts, is a very pleasing decoration for the parlor in winter. The beauty of a grass depends largely upon the delicacy of its flower clusters and theirgraeeful and orderly arrange ment in the panicle v>r "head," as a type of beauty among the larger grasses, a long feathery plume of the pampas Grass 1.1 y be chosen, and It Is Indeed a verc pleasing object when preserved of its original shape and color. We mint heie enter a protest against the violation ot nature by dy ing the plumes 01 glasses any color whatever. They, to our taste, cannot be improved upon by being colored a deep crimson and natural green un pleasant black, or any other color. Grasses lor their greatest beauty should be gathered just as they are fully in llower, and hung up or spread out to dry in a place that Is free from dust, if a grass is gathered after it Is be ginning to mature its seed, the tloral parts will become brittle and soon fall to pieces, and fail to be the objects of what tney would be If gathered when just at the opening ot the flowers. There are a number of naJve grasses that are worthy ot a place in such a collection. In general, it may be said that any grass mat is attractive for it* delicacy, grace, and color while grow ing in the tleld, will not be disap pointing when it is tastefully arranged in the house. LIME IN THE TEA KETTLE. —Every good housewife knows that an iron kettle used for heating water that holds lime in solution, will in a short time become coated with that substance This being a poor conductor of heat, it will of eouise take a longer time to heat the water than when the kettle is new. Copper or tin vessels do not be come coated with lime. The reason is that iron has an affiaity for lime.which the other metals have not. Hut this affinity can be overcome by coating the inner surface of the vessel with a compound of tannic acid and iron, which is soluble in water and will not precipitate lime. This is easily done. Take a new tea kettle and put a hand ful of oak bark into it, nil with water, an i keep it boiling for three or four hours, filling it up from time to time as the water boils away. The iron will get a jet black coat of tannlte of iron and will be proof agaiust lime. Care must be taaen that the kettle does not boil dry and become heated to redness. A heat a little below that point will destroy the coating. It the liuie can be luliy removed lrom an old tea kettle, it can be coated in the same manner as a new one. hut will require a longer time, and perhaps it will re quite a longer time, and perhaps it will be necessary to repeat tne boiling two or three times. TURNER'S CEMENT. —MeIt one pound of resin in a pan over the lire, and, when melted, add one-quarter of a pound of pitch. While these are boil ing add'brick dust until, by dropping a little on a cold stone, you thiuk it hard enough. In winter it may be necessary to adu a little tallow. By means 01 this cemeut a piece of wood may be fastened to the chuck, which will hold when cool: and when the work is finished.'t maybe removed by a smart stroke with the tool. Any traces of the cement may be removed lrorn the work by means of benzine. FANCY CREAMS. —Allow enough new milk to fill ten small cups; set it on to boil; and having mixed in half a pint of milk and two ounces* of grated chocolate, add it to the boiling milk. Just before t comes off the lire pour the yolks of six eggs beaten and mixed in a little milk, and half a pound ot white sugar. When cool, mix in the beaten whites of the eggs, and a small quautity of vanilla boiled in milk. Fill the cups nearly full, place them in water and toil hall an hour. Eat when cold. GINGER COOKIES.— One cupful of sugar, one cupful of butter, one egg, one-third cupful of molasses, one tablespoonful of saleratus. The ma terials to be mixed quite stiff, rolled thin and baaed in a quick oven. Great care should be used, for the cookies must not blown, but nicely bake through. They must be removed from the dripper with a knife and laid on a paper to cool. After becoming cold they can be put in a jar and sot in a dry store-room, or on a shelf in the pantry. STEAM BOILER CKNENT. —Mix two parts of fiuely-powdered litharge with one part of very fine rand, and one part of quicklime which has been al lowed to slake spontaneously by ex posure to the air. This mixture may be kept for any length of time with out injuring. In using it a portion is mixed into paste with linseed oil, or, still better, boiled linseed oil. In this state it must be quickly applied, as It soon becomes hard. SUBSTITUTE FOR APPLE SAUCE.— Moderately boil one pint of molasses from five to twenty minutes, then add three eggs thoroughly beaten, hastily stirring them in ; continue to boil a few minutes with lemon or nutmeg. PUMPKIN PIE. — Butter the pie plate and shake over some yellow Indian meal (this forms the paste;) to one quart of pumpkin add one cup of boil ed milk, three eggs, or two eggs and one soda cracker rolled tine. llow Cows DRlNK— Although cows require a great deal of water, mauy ol them are allowed to suffer for want of it, because tneir peculiar fastidious ness is not understood or regarded. If cows have to drink from any place other than a brook or.river do not turn out more than two at a time. Many of our hired men expect a cow to drink like a horse, which they certainly do not. Leada horse to the trough and he will drink Immediately or not at all but a cow will usually staud and look, wet her lips and sip a mouthful half a dozen times before she begins to drink in good earnest. Some cows, however, will drink immediately. But in case of either cows or horses, proper care cannot be taken of them till their peculiarities are well under stood; and whoever undertakes to make the most of his stock must make every individual one a special study, if cows are watered out of a pail it may be found that one animal will drink only Irom a certain pail and if a change is made it will be instantly detected. Few cows will eat hay that another has breathed upon. It is well to humor the animal in such cases, while study ing to supply the proper quantity and quality 01 lood. The Largest Lathe. —The St. Ohamond 5 eel Works, France, boast of having the largest lathe In the world. It was manufactured by bir Joeeoh Whitworth 6 Co., of JLanchester, England, and has just been set up in France for turn ing 100-ton guns. HUMOROUS. A NICK-LOOKING young man with kid gloves and broad cloth stepped into the St. Louis Dispensary the other day and asked to be treated gratis for an affection of the ear. "Are you a pan per?" asked the doctor. "Pauper I" indignantly exclaimed the sleek visi tor, "do I look like a pauper?" The doctor reminded him that the law pro vided only for treatment ot paupers at the dispensary. The visitor answered : "1 don't want you to insinuate that 1 am a pauper." "I will stats further tor your information," said the Doc tor, "that the law positively prohibits us treating any "pauper" who wears a kid glovo" "Well,you know what vou can do v " answered kid glovoy. The Doctor rejoined, "1 know what you can do," and jumped up, but the deadhead was too quick for him, and skipped out just lu time not to be kick ed out. AN honest Galveston shoemaker was strolling down the avenue,when,peer ing Into a restaurant, what should he sec but one of his fashionable cus tomers seated at a table covered with all the delicacies of the season, includ ing a large bottle of gieeii seal and two canvas-back ducks. Rushing In, the irate Galveston tradesman exclaimed, "You haven't got money to pay me lor the boots you have got on. but you can ullbrd to pay lor all manner of delica cies." Tuo young man wiped liu moustache, and looking around to see that lie was not overheard, respoiided in a whisper, "Don't bo deceived by appearances. You must not lose confi dence in inc. i don't expect to pay lor this little banquet any more than 1 expect to pay you lor the booes." THE Judge came down to Cincinnati oue day, and the next morning early he went into the librarian's* room at the Court House. He saw a little red headed man in his shirt-sleeves sweep ing and dusting about, aud, going up to him, askcu him when the llbariau would be in. "At 0 o'clock, sir," was the answer. So some time after U the J udge came in again, aud seeing the same little red-headed man, went up to him and asked if the librarian was in then. "1 am the librurian, sir," said the man. "Why," said tne Judge, "1 was in here before, and you said the librarian would be in at 9 o'clock. How does ibis happen?" And the Judge was in a fair way to get angry. "Oh," said Myers, "then 1 was the janitor; now I am the librarian." .JONES and Brown were talking lately of a young clergyman whote preaching they had heard that day. "What do you think of him?" asked Browu? "1 thiuk," said Jones, he did better two years ago." "Why," sail Brown, "he didn't preach then?" "True," said Jones, "that is what I mean." TUK explanation given by an excited Celestial in VLksburg: "Me playee poker with Mellcan; alle same me glette fio aces; me bette ten dolla, no body cluui in. Me gctte thlee klings; me bette five dolla, nobody elum in. Me gette flu flushee; me bette fifteen dolla, evly son of glun cluui in. Me cleauee out." Two ladies went to see Clara Morris. In one of the most affecting passages of the play, when the whole house was hushed in stillness, one lady who had been using her opera glass attentively remarked to the other : "Pooh! The trimming on licr dress is nothing but Hamburg edging." NXVEB does a man believe so strong ly in the attraction ot gravitutiou as w hen he sits down on a chair and find it gone. THK grratesc lover of the human race is a Toledo man. Wneu he slips down he prefers to have a crowd see him, so they can have the fun of laughing. Ax old farmer said of his pastor who was exceedingly mild in his preaching, "He's a good man, but he always rakes with the teeth up." A MAX who said ho spoke from ex perience lately declared that, in his opinion, "the worst thing out" is one's last match on a dark night. • WOMAN-KIND is like cider—sweet when first squeezed—butgrowing more vinegar-like after lying around a few years.

"Oil, not much; he's married to my grandparents' only daughter." IF women are really angels, why don't they tly over a fence instead of making such a fearfully awkward job of climbing? AN auctioneer should not be blamed for having the blues occasionally, as he is naturally a man of more (e) hid tastes.

Protection from Lightning. —A knight of the olden time in full Kruior was probably as safe from the effects of a thunder-storm an if ho had a lightning rod continually beside him: and one of the Roman emperors devised a perfect ly secure retreat in a thunder-storm in the form of a subterranean vault of Iron. He was probably led to this by thinking of a mode to keepout missiles, having no notion that a thin shell of soft copper would have been quite us effective as massive Iron. But those emperors who, as Suetonius tells us, wore laurel crowns or seal-sklu robes, or descended Into underground caves or cellars on the appearance of a thun der-storm, were not protected at all. Even in France where special attention Is paid to the protection of buildings from lightning, dangerous accidents have oi eured-where all proper precau tions seemed to have been taken But on more careful examination it was usually found that some one essential element was wanting. The most com mon danger seems to lie in fancying that a lightning-rod is necessarily properly connected with the earth If It drops into a mass cf water. Far from it. A well-constructed reservoir full of water Is not a good "earth" for a lightning-rod. The better the stone work and the cement the less are tliey tilted lor this special purpose, mid great mischief has been done by for getting this. Doily Vnrrien.

An inpruvtul construction of boilers with a view to a perfect and natural circulation of water—consists ol an ar rangement by which all ol the tubes, together with the tube sheets, may be eadly removed from the boiler shell for cleaning or repairs. To tins end the flues or tubes are placed vertically in a rectangular flue box, provided with a rectangular flange, which Is bolted to a corresponding collar sur rounding an opening In the rear wall ot the tiro box ; the rear end of the flue box is riveted to the back head of the boiler shell by bolts. The joints at the cud of the flue-box are sufllcently strong to withstand any strain that oau be brought to bear upon thetn; and the flame, smoke and products of com bustion pass through the flue-box and around the flues, effecting rapid gen eration of steam. The circulation of the water and steam in the vertical tubes is natural and perfect. For boilers oarrylng a ver/ high pressure the flue-box may be strengthened by stay bolts in the usual way.

The result of the dilation is electric contact, giving passage to a battery current which rings the bell. Al though the sun may be covered by clouds, Its calorific p >wer is never di minished so mHch as not to dilate the strip. An Interesting question has been raised, namely, as to what the action ot the moon would be, through a lens ot high magnifying power, on a very sensitive strip. The apparatus would also, perhaps, be sensitive of graduation with a view to study the radiating powers of the sun.
