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.

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.

5 eel Works, France, boast of having

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

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

Doctor rejoined, "1 know what you

deadhead was too quick for him, and

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.
