s;am, HOW THE CHINESE MAKE DWARF TREES. We have all known from childhood how the Chinese cramp their women's feet, and so manage to make them "keepers at home," but how they contrive to grow miniature pines and oaks in flower pots for half a cen tury, has always been much of a secret. They aim first and last at the seat of vigorous growth, endeavoring to weaken it as far as may consist with the preservation of life. They begin at the beginning. Take a young plant (say a seedling or cutting of a cedar) when only two or three inches high they cut off its tap-root as soon as it has other rootlets enough to live upon, replant it in a shallow earthen pot or pan. The end of the tap-root is generally made to rest on a flat stone within it. Alluvial clay is then put into the pot, much of it in bits the size of beans, and just enough in kind and quan tity to furnish a scanty nourishment to the plant. Water enough is given to keep it in growth, but not enough to excite a vigorous habit. So, likewise, in the application of light and beat. As the Chinese pride them selves on the shape of their miniature trees, they use strings, wires and pegs, and various other mechanical contrivances to promote symmetry of habit, or to fashion their pets nto odd fancy figures. Thus, by the use of v ery shallow pots, the growth of the tap roots is out of the question ; by the use of poor soil and little of it, and little water, any strong growth is prevented. Then, too, the top and side riots being within easy reach of the gardener, are shortened by his pruning knife or seared with his hot iron. So the little tree, finding itself headed on every side, gives up the idea of strong growth, asking only for life, and just growth enough to live and look well. Accordingly, each new set of leaves become more and more stunted, the buds and rootlets are di minished in proportion, and at length a bal ance is established between every part of the tree, making it a drawf in all respects. In some kinds of trees this end is reached in three or four years; in others ten or fifteen years are necessary. Such is fancy horti culture among the Celestials.— The Technolo gist. INSECTS ON PARLOR PLANTS. There is a variety of insects which infest parlor plants, and, unless looked after very closely, will destroy their beauty. The green fly is a great pest to parlor and greenhouse plants; but is easily killed in the greenhouse, by filling the house thoroughly with tobacco smoke at the close of the day. find then shut ting it up tight for the night. For parlor plants, it will be necessary to put them in large boxes or barrels, and fill them with smoke, and cover up tight. This will effec tually destroy this destructive and disgusting insect. By immersing the plants in a tub of soapsuds, they may be freed from the fly. To do this, a piece of pasteboard should be made to cover the pot, cutting a side slit for the stem; then holding the hand over the paste board, the pot may be inverted without dis turbing the mould, and, by the immersion, the foliage will be effectually freed from the insect. The red spider may be detected by exam ining the leaves, which look yellow and sickly; but they are so small it will require good'eyes to see them. This minute, ngly customer, is not so easily got rid of as the green fly. Plants from neglected greenhouses are infes ted with it. The most effectual way of de stroying this insect is to give the plants repea ted syringing with sulphur and water, or a solution of whale oil soap water. The plants can be taken out of doors on a mild day, and the operation performed upon them, remem bering that it is important to syringe the un der side of the leaf as well as the upper side, as the red spider will be found in greater abundance there. There is another insect more difficult to get rid of than either of those named. It is the mealy bug, which may be found in the axils of the leaves, and on the stems of oranges, camelias. heaths, etc. It looks like little specks of cotton; but, upon picking it off, a disagreeable, ugly-looking insect will be found impedded in this glutinous, cottony substance. It is sometimes very troublesome in graperies, and requires much care to get rid of it. It is only to be destroyed by in dustriously picking it off.— From Breck's Nete Book of Blotters. HUNTING FOR THE COWS. —Many of our farmers have wasted years of valuable time just because they did not teach their cows to come home at night. Any one who has ever lived or traveled in the country will remem ber the familiar Co-bos, Co-bos, of the far mer's son, or hired man, as they endeavor to j coax the cows from the woods or the tall grass in the great pastures. We have had a little experience in these matters, aud well remem ber how many times we have waded through the brush and bog looking for the cows, and, boy-like, we thought them dreadful contrary animals. But we have lived long enough to learn better, and now think that the biped was the more contrary animal of the two. Boys, we will tell yon a secret that will save yon a great deal of trouble, and it is this: Just sow a few rons of corn in drills, where it will be handy tc the milking place, and every time the cows are driven up at night, or in the morning, give each one a good armeful of the fresh cornstalks, and our word for it, the cows will always be on hand at milking time. Be sides this, they will give more milk, and for get to kick over the milk pail, even if you do whistle a littls too loud.— Weekly Bun. Go TO FARMING.—A good living is what comparatively few men succeed in makiDg in village or city life, and yet nothing is more easy of accomplishment on the farm. Be sides, these is a pleasure in cultivating and cuibellishingthe earth, improving andincreas ing its products, and thus adding to the ag gregate of human hapiness. Why, then, should young nlen hesitate to become farm ers? It is both progtable and honorable. It is the nearest approximation to independence that man, as a member of society, can make. A gentleman farmer— and all farmers are, or 6honld be, gentlemen—belongs to an order of nobility that is not indebted to place-holders for its installation, and may, if he chooses, he ranked among the greatest benefactors of the human race. Let all idle young men go to work on farms, and quit seeking third and fourth rate clerkships. In short, go to farm ing and quit begging.— Exchange.

A BLIND man had been sitting one day, and pleasantly chatting with some visitors for an hoar, when one of them wished the com pany good-morning, and left the room.

"Because," was the ready answer, "for the last half hour she has done nothing but laugh." A SNAKE STORY.— OId Deacon Sharp never | told a lie, but he used to relate this: He was ! standing one day beside a frog pond—we have his word for it —and saw a large garter snake make an attempt upon an enormous bull frog. The snake seized one of the frog's hind legs, and the frog, to be on a par with his snakeship, caught him by the tail, and both commenced swallowing one another until nothing was left of them. A CHIMNEY-SWEEPER'S boy went into a baker's shop for a twopenny loaf, and concei ving it to be diminutive in size, he told the baker that he did not believe it was weight. "Never mind that," replied the man of dough "you will have theles3 to carry." "True!" replied the lad: and throwing three halfpence on the counter, left the shop. The baker called lustily after him, that he had not left mouy enough. "Never mind that," said young sooty, "you will have the less to count." SHERIDAN was once staying at the house of an elderly lady, in the country, who wanted more of bis company than he was willing to give. Proposing one day to take astroll with him, he excused himself on account of the inclemency of the weather. Shortly after ward she met him sneaking out alone.

MQ e The No. 2 is particularly adapted to the farmer', use; in intending to apply to any common w! or railway power? weighs 1,300 pounds haT* iron threshers framr, and cyJinder Y?i \ nc t ■ diameter and 28 inches long: deli'vers the dL grain in bags, or if desired, in a half bushsl p itelivers the straw fifteen feet from the fed., i if desired, can deliver the straw and chaff touh 5 ' ll A clean, in good g rinn . rtx f f. market, from 100 to ITS bushels of wheat ovfrL 300 to 600 busbel, of oats per day, using' f,, ttr ? r .* horses, and the same number of hand, but • force the work, under most favorable cirri,-! stances, good grain, Ac., will tbresfc and claan' considerable more. The Machine will thresh and clean all kinds of grain generally threshed wilh the common machine, and requires no more ho-- e power, hut in many cases does not run l u hard. It will apply very well to a two-hor-e -ail way power. Now here is what the Farmer and thresherman wants, a Separator to go from farm so farm, to thrash grain, with more satisfaction than any other separator now in use, and why is it? Be cause this separator has a self regulating Bla.t, which prevents grain from blowing inh the huff! and also has a self regulating feeder o feed ir.e cleaner and it has rollers and combs the clean er which prevents it from choaking. Why does this machine run so light, and give "so little trou ble? Because there is less friction in the inter nals, and the rakes and fan are geared so that vou have no trouble with Belts breaking and slippi'ng causing dust to fall into the wheat. Why does it clean against the wind? Because the blast ha? direct actloh on the grain and the cleaner is _. O well arranged that the wind has no chance to drive the dirt into the hopper. Why is it built permanently on two wheels and the front car riage separate, ready to attach when necess&rv' Because it is more convenient in the barn without the front carriage. You can turn the machine < >r run it from place to place more easily. Why ba it not got Elevators like some other machine- ' Because the Elevators carry the fifth back alter! nately into the cleaner which must eventually go into the good wheat or in the chaff, and all know, that filth should be kept separate for feed. 4c.,' we might as well keep shoveling the Tailings from under eur hand fan into the hopper and ex pect to get the grain clean. Why i 3 this separa tor more cleaner and satisfactory to work about than others? Because the Fan and Trunk Side, are closed up to prevent the wheat chaff and dust from coming out and scattering over the floor, causing waist and giving much trouble with dirt and sore eyes, Ac. Why do Threshermen get more work with these separators than thev ,i with others ? Because this separator has all the.-e advantages and many more, which makes it a separator suitable atld a paying one for aJI farmers and Thrashermer. that have grain to tbrasb, whilst in most cases fanners must suit themselves to the machine, because the machine will not suit itself to the farmer. In short, this is the cheapest, most durable, reliably, simple and most agreeable to work about and the only separ ator that will clean and bag the grain sufficiently clean for market under all circumstances. Farmers can rest assured that this machine is no humbug, and judging from the high reecra mendation of farmers that are using theui, we must come to the conclusion that it is the very Machine that farmers want and will have as soon as they have an opportunity to appreciate and attest its merits, fur which we hope they will give us an opportunity, as we are willing to be respon sible if it does not perform as represented in this Circular.
