    AGRICULTURE.
A VALUABLE THEE.— The eucalyptus
globulus, which is being introduced into
California, has many qualities which re
commend it to Eastern sylviculturists. It
comes originally from Australia, where the
tests of various soils aud varying reasons
have amply demonstrated the good quali
ties of the tree and its rapid growth even
under adverse surroundings. Trials of late
years in Southern Europe have further ver
ified these claims, aud there is no aeason
why the tree will not flourish in every s -c
--uon of the United Stales. It is hardier
than the chestuut, a'id like the latter, it
will grow in the rockiest of soils. It is
more independent of raiu-food than any
tree known in this country, wet and dry
seasons alike failing to effect its growth,
its wood is hard, somewhat of the nature
of yellow pine, but firmer aud stronger,
and fit for use in ship timbers while iu
Austria, cabinet makers, wheelwrights and
earoenters use it throughout their trades,
The bark yields a febrifuge second only iu
efficiency to quinine, but superior in all
medical qualities to cinchona. 1 his quali
ty alone must make the tree invaluable,
and its culture here, to an appreciative ex
tent, would settle forever the vexed ques
tion of quinine duties. The rapidity of its
giowth is its most wonderful teature. It
grows four times as fast as the Americau
pine, and for all ordinary purposes is tit to
cut in five or six years. For the Eastern
and Middle States, where the lack of forest
protection is not infrequently felt, no tree
has been offered the culturist that cau pre
sent so many primary points of advantage
as this Australian immigrant, and its gen
eral introduction and culture should be a
maiter of but little time. It may be added
the Hue ttee yields fragrance; but produces
no fruit or nut. its strength goes direct y
into trunk and bark. Its beauty of form
aud luxuriant evergreen loiiage are addi
tional qualities that must recommend it in
country or city.
PROGRESS OF HORTICULTURE. —Among
most gratifying evidences of progress are
ihe numerous acquisitions of new and val
uable varieties, by which the season of
our fruits is greatly prolonged with the ac
cession of early and late varieties. By the
better knowledge in the keeping and pack
ing of fruits, aud the facilities of transpor
tation, our markets are now supplied with
fruits throughout the whole year, lustead
of the strawberry for three or four weeks,
as formerly, we now have it four or five
months, the peach from four to six months,
the pear from eight to ten months, the
orange and apple the year round, ami the
smaller fruits in their season; so he who
has tue means may replenish his table
dai'y with sncb variety as uo other nation
can produce. The process of h) bridiza -
lion is simple, whether by the air, insects,
or the baud of man. and we have only to
have due regard to the characteristics of
the parents front which we breed. Thus,
as it were, "line upoD line and precept
upon precept," I have endeavored to im
press on you the importance of this branch
of our science, and as it was my first, so
it shall be my continual aud last advice:
"Plant the most mature and perfect seeds
ot the most hardy, vigorous, aud valuable
varieties; and as a shorter process, insuring
more cei tain and happy results, cross or
hybridize your best fruits."
A PRACTICAL lruu grower gives the fo'-
lowiug as his system of orchard manage
ment; "In three years I improved the
production of my fruit trees from 15 to 200
bushels by treating them iu the following
manner: I first reduced the top one fourth,
then in the fall I plowed the soil as well as
1 could, it being quite rocly, and turned a
short lurrow toward the trees. As 1 worked
from tiiem I let the plow fall a little lower
and when between the trees I allowed the
plow to run deep, so that the water would
setlle away from them in the spring. 1
hauled a fair quantity of coarse manure,
pulverized it well and marked out hills,
manuring each hill. I planted corn and
beans aud pumpkins. The following
spring I repeated the same cultivation. My
trees began le grow very last, and that fall
I harvested 70 bushels of very good apples.
The following spring 1 manured for the
third time, planted it to potatoes, which
grew very large, but rotted badly. I made
up the loss, however, by harvesting 200
bushels af large fiuit. 1 changed the pro
duction of a yellow belleflower tree lrom
three-fourths of a bushel to seven oushels,
and sold them for $1.25 per bushel, which
I think a very good return for my labor.
From my experießce, I am of the opinion
that most trees have too much top for the
amount of roots, and a defiency ot nour
ishment for producing a developt d fruit.
1 like fall or winter pruning. Alwavs cov
er the cut with giafting wax or thick
paint. Aftea removing the limbs by thin
ning out the centre of the tree, it has a
tendency to grow broad. Too many vari
eties are bad."
THE following tiees are named as tbe
best for planting artificial forests in the
western states; - Yellow cotton wood; mak
ing a saw log or rail cut sooner than any
other tree; osage orange, giving strong and
lasting timber; and not troubled by in
sects; the hardy catalpa, of quick growth
and lasting timber; white elm and western
plane tree; black -wall ut, one of the most
valuable of trees; soft maple, furnishing in
a short time a great amount of fire wood;
and tbe fast growing willows, the silver
poplar, tbe cot lon wood and the Loinbardy
poplar.
PETER Henderson recommend the fol
lowing mixture as a remedy for mildew
on rose bushes; Boil one pound of sul
phur and one pound of lime in two gallons
of water until it is reduced to three quarts.
After settling, pour it into a bottle or jar
to keep. Before using it add 150 times as
much water to each portion of the bottle,
so that it will not be so strong as to injure
the leaves. _________________
Constant Sources oj Jtaiectricity.—A
section suitably cut in a heinihedral crystal
with inclined surfaces and placed between
two leaves of tin, constitutes a condenser
which is capable of charging itself when
compressed. With this system we may
realize a new instrument, a condenser
source, which posses special properties. It
may serve as a standard of static electricity
for measuring charges and capacities. The
authors give in this memoir an abselute
measurement of tbe quantities of electrici
ty liberated by tourmaline and quartz un
der a given pressure.
Angular distance of Colors. —The
projection of a table of colors upon the
sides or an equilateral triangle renders it
possible to determine the exact angular
distance of the colors, a result which has
not yet been obtained, and which suffices
to connect together the facts at present
known. The author gives a diagram rep
resenting the law of the mixture of colors,
and which will be advantageously substi
tuted for Newton's rule.
In bis address at tbe York meeting of
the British Association, Prof. Huxley pre
dicted that 50 years hence, or in the cen
tennial year of the association, whoever
undertakes to record the progress of pake •
ontology will note the present time as the
epoch in which the law of succession of
the forms of the higher animals was deter
mined by the observation of pa'aeontologi-
C&l facts.
DOMESTIC.
FRIED POTATOES. —Raw potatoes, peel,
cut iu rings the thickness of a shilling,
or cut in ouc continuous shaving;
throw them into cold water until you
have sufficient; draiu on a cloth; fry
quickly in plenty of hat fat, and with as
little color as possible; dry them well
from the grease, ami sprinkle with salt.
When nicely done ami piled up properly,
they make a tine side dish, which is
always eaten with great relish. Or cut a
potato lengthwise the size and shape of
the divisions of an orange, rim them neat
ly aud fry them ; they are an excellent
garnish for meat. Cold potatoes may lie
cut iu slices somewhat less than an inch
thick, and fried in like manner. They
can also be fried with onions, as an
accompaniment to pork chops, sliced cod,
red herring, or with a rasher of bacon.
Ano tli cf nice way is to boil them ami let
them become cold, then cut them into
rather thick slices. Put a lump of freah
butter into a Btew-pau, add a little flour,
about a leaspoonful for a moderate sized
dish; when the flour has boiled a short
time in the butter, add a cupful of water
and a little cream; boil all together;
then put in the potatoes covered with
chopped parsley, peppei ami salt: stew
them for a few minutes, and then take
them from the tire and send t > the table.

>\ K notice in the Mining and Scientific
Press a formula for making olive oil on a
small scale, as produced in California,
comparing this with a description in the
Pharmaceutische liamlelsblatt of the
manufacture of olive oil in southern
Prance. In California they grind the
olives before pressure. This appears to
be an error; they should be crushed be
tween two stones turning against each
other vertically. We can quite under
stand thai crushing leads to quite diller
eut results to grinding. In cider-produc
ing counties iu England apples are prepar
ed for caier in the same manner that the
French prepare their olives, by grinding
them under revolving stones. Cider thus
prepared will keep for years, anil improves
with age, some say, on account of an
essential oil pressed from the apple pips.
In America cider is made from crushed
or chopped apples, and possesses neither
the flavor or the keeping properties of
that produced in Devonshire or Hereford
shire, England. There is another poi"t,
which may be important on the "Rhone."
The oil when filtered is stored in stone
vessels. On the Pacific they use tin cases.

PRESERVING PUMPKINS. —Pumpkins a
dapfcd to culinary purposes can be preser
ved not only all winter, but up to the fol
lowing summer, which is perhaps longer
than may be desired. But for winter a
pumpkin pie is not excelled for delicious
uess by any other, if the cook knows as
well how to make them as everyone shoul i
Some persons use it also as a sauce, aud it
is very good if properly prepared. W hen
we were in the habit of preserving pump
kins we selected the "Yankee squash." as
it was called, but other good kinds will
an*wtr as well. These we placed on a
scaffolding put up in the cellar, allowing
them to lie side by side, but only on a sin
gle layer. We useu them as nee led through
the winter, and found that from a dozen to
a dozen and a half very ample to supply
the family as long as we cared for them.
On two occasions we kept one or two over
to discover how long they would keep, and
we louud them in good condition in Au
gust, but that was about the end of their
time.

SI-EARING OF TOAST, comparatively few
know what really good toast is. Aha ty
siuge of one or both sides does not make
toast; nor do thin slices of bread dried
through. Cut slices of uniform thickness,
a plump one-half or two-eighths inch; move
around over a brisk fire, to have all parts
toasted alike ; keep only so near the coals
that the pieces will be heated through when
lioth sides are wrell browned. If the
slightest point is blackened scrape it off, or
it will spoil the flavor of the whole. If
covered with sn earthen bowl, it will keep
both warm and moist. A clean towel or
napkin will answer if it is to go at once cn
the table. But nobody can make good toast
out of poor bread. fetale bread may be
used for milk toast; sour bread may be
improved by toasting it through ; heavy
bread makes poor toast. Sweet, light
bread, only a clay old, or less, makes the
best toast.
Certain Knowledge.
We know whereof we allirm when we
say that Warner's Safe Kidney aud Liver
Cure has performed more wonderful cures
than any medicine ever brought before
the American public.
BREAD PUDDING. —Half a pound of stale
bread, soaked in warm water for ten min
utes. and wrung dry in a clean cloth ; one
quart of milk, four eggs, yolks and whites
well beaten together; two ounces ot butter,
one even teaspoonful of salt, half a pound
ot well-washed and picked currants, dried
in a towel; one coffee-cup light-brown su
gar, half a grated nutmeg; mix well; butter
the pan, and bake for three-quarters of an
hour in a hot oven. Ccst about 30 cents, at
present; when eggs are cheaper, 25 cents,
and is sufficient for eight people.
CUCUMBERS STUFFED. Select short,
thick cucumbers and split iu two. Scoop
out the seeds and part of the meat. Fry a
teaspoonful of grated onion in butter, and
salt, pepper and nutmeg, the inside of the
cucumbers, anil some bread soaked in wa
ter and squeezed. If too dry add a little
gravy or some melted butter. Stir until
well mixed and heated through. Fill each
half cucumber with the mixture; put some
bread crumbs with a little piece of butter
on the top ; lay in a pan, the rouud side
down and bake.
ORANGE ICE. —To make a delicious
orange ice take six oranges, use the
juice of all and the grated peel of three,
two lemons (the juice only), one pint of
sugar dissolved in one pint of water;
freeze as you do ice cream.
HUMOROUS.
A ROY walked into an office on Laurel

"Well, there's a wallet with your name in

received it, and the boy started down stairs
but was halted by the call; "Say, boy,
what's your name?' "O, that's all right,''
replied the Isiy as lie backed down.

FACTS ABOUT UMBRELLAS. J
Antiquarians say that the umbrella was In
vented shortly alter Ihe flood, and has been the
least improved upon of all appliances lor human
eomfort, the shaje lielng now a* It was In those
youthful days of the world. An umbrella is
much like a pigeon as to the question of posses
sion—the lat one who gets it owns It. the fol
lowing fuets attout umbrellas —especially the last
one—may serve every reader a splendid purpose
sooner or later: To place your umbrella in a rack
indicates that It Is uljout to change owners. An
umbrella carried over a woman, the man getting
nothing hut drippings of the rain. Indicates court
ship. When the man has the umbrella ami the
Woman the drippings, it indicates marriage. To
carry it at right angles tinder your arm signifies
that an eye is to In' lost by the man who follows
you. To put a cotton uin brellaby tbesideofajniee
silk one signifies that " exchange Is no robbery."
To lend an umbrella si gtiilics that " I am a fool."
To carry an umbrella iust high enough to tear
out men eyes and knock off men's liHts, signifies
"lain a woman." To go without au umbrella
in a rain storm shows 1 am sure of getting rheu
matism, ami will have to use ST. JACOB* OIL to
get well." To keep a line umbrella for your own

The memannleatioti to Die editor of
the Salem IMMI Ht aider shows how au artist j
treated bis visitor: "I would have accepted your i
kind invitation to visit you in your new quarters |
with pleasure la*fore tiifs had not my old enemy,
Mr. Rheumatism, pounced on me so suddenly.
He arrived last Friday, and, without stopping to
semi up his card, rushed in and grasped me by
the hand with such a grip tliut in a few hours
my baud and wrist were so badly swollen and
latiiifltl that 1 felt as though one of Mr. Hatch's
coal teams had run over me. Mr. Rheumatism
bashed! a constant visitor of mine for several
wars ; he alwavs swells and put on n great many
airs, making himself at home, devouring my sub
stance and leaving me poor in flesh and |ocket.
Ijist winter he came and stayed two months. I
then decided that the next time he came I would
change his diet 1 was somewhat at a loss what
to feed Rim with, hut finally concluded to give
him three square meals H day of IST. JACOBS OlL—
morning, noon and night. This fare he is dis
gusted with, and is packing up his trunk and w ill
leave hy to-morrow or tn-xt day; says he cannot
stop any longer, as he ha pressing business else
where. He is a treacherous fellow, and he in
tends visiting some of our Salem friends; If be
does, just give him the same fare that 1 did and
he wou't stop long. J. S. LEFAVOI'B.
