Firs Haws and Notes- The increase in the wheat crop laat year above the previous one was over I'2,ooo,ooobushel*, mostly in California and Minnesota, Wisconsin, lowa, aud Illinois. The grasshoppers are devastating the country near Hilby and Worth! ngton, lowa. " The same pests are in Colorado, though too young to iujure small grain. In England street trees are generally the property of the city, ami are plant ed by the "authorities and under the oversight of the city councils, instead of being left to individual notion, aa in our free country. Mr. Meohi, the celebrated English agriculturist and merehaat, recently used these words : "It is precisely he cause British farmers have their cus tomer*, the British manufacturers, at their doors, and that other food-pro ducing countries have not manufac turers, that British agriculture is rich and thriving." Bone dust ia now exported from Aus tralia to England. It is compressed into blocks three inches thick and six inches square, weighing about six bounds each. A ton of this compressed pone dust occupies 36 cubic feet. The quecy occur*, if the millions of tons of bone* now scattered over our Western plains could not be thus manipulate,) and profitably sent to fertilise our East ern lands. It is positively asserted that the land in Cabfornia ia'grewing poorer, just as though this were a marvelous state ment When crops have grown ten or fifteen Tears there ran be no other re sult the pasture laud ho* been overstocked, the wild oat* have been eaten out, and only weeds take their place. In the foot hills the na tive grasses have been largely eaten out and no other kinds come in. It is now proposed to sow alfalfa and keep sheep, and it is said that by this means land worth $lO an acre can in a few years be made worth S3tXY an acre. If this is true they had better try it. A writer in a foreign agricultural paper saya that " a sound knowledge of the principles of his art is needed more urgently every veor to enable the English fanner to liold hia own amid a development of social and mechanical force that threatens to sweep sway all the landmarks that haTe loug guided his practice." These words are just as applicable to onr circumstances as to those of our cousins across the water, laid would serve as a test for the con sideration and study of every one who feels how much we have, as cultivators of the soil, to learn not only of our art itself, but of others with which it is so intimately connected. Trw Way la Water Tress. If trees standing in grass ground are watered, the surface around about the body, for three or four feet in each di rection, should be covered with mulch of some sort, to retard evaporation. It will be labor lost to water trees on the lawn without exercising this precaution, as the water will disappear before a hundredth part of it has reached the roots. Straw, hay, lawn-grass, weeds, shavings or tan-bark trill make an ex cellent mulch. Spread the mulch three or four inches deep, pour two or three psilfuls of water around each tree, and the water will permeate the entire soil, keep it damp, and supply the moisture which the tree must have or die. If the soil is in s tillable condition, draw tha earth away from the tree to the depth of one or two inches, pour in two or three pails of water, and return the mellow earth, which will keep the sur face from baking. Yet mulch is far preferable to the latter mode. When the soil appears nearly dry to the touch, the roots cannot poasiblv de rive the needed supply of water to the leaves and branches from injury during the rapid evaporation which is going ou all night and day. When the atmosphere is as dry and hot as the air in a huge lumber-kiln, it will have the moisture iu every tree and plant and the moisture of bur bodies, even, "if it (the hot air) has to take it (tl < mois ture ) out of the hide." Hence, ve must drink, and the roots of the trees and plants must be supplied with water or they wither and die. A great many persons scatter the grass from their lawns and the weeds from their gardens in the highway, which is bad horticulture in many re spects. If they would spread snch grass and weeds around their growing flowers or abound any garden vegetable, the mulch would save the labor of carrying many hogsheads of water to supply the plants with the necessarv moisture, and a covering would keep the weeds down, and save a vast deal of manual Labor, and the crops would be heavier. How to Dress a Sheep. It may be of interest to some of onr country readers to learn how to dress s sheep properly, because a great deal of flavor depends on how this operation is performed. We give directions how to avoid this ill flavor, which arises from the absorption by the meat of the gases from the intestines, which, as the out side of the carcass oools, cannot escape, and are, therefore, absorbed by the flesh. There is s simple remedy. As soon ss the snimsl is dead, let the hide be slit np from the brisket to the tail, and to the knees, by a quick motion of a sharp pointed knife inserted beneath the skin. Strip the skin from the belly and the ribs and legs, so that it will be out of the way of the intestines. Then open the sheep immediately and disem bowel it All this ought to be the work of about one minute or two, or if it oc cupies five there will not be sufficient time for the carcass to 000 l sufficiently to cause any unpleasant taste. Then proceed to strip the skin from the back of the carcass. A sheep should be killed bv thrusting s sharp knife through the neck, back ef the wind-pipe, without touching it, however, bat cut iing the arteries ; and soon as the knife ts inserted it should be twisted round as if make a round hole; there will then be no mistake made in cutting the arteries, and the death of the animal will be comparatively painless and rap id.—Gentleman' Magazine. The Har Crop. There are farmers who believe it a good plan to sandwich old straw or old hay between the rather green hay as it is stored in barns. We have tried it many times and find that it certainly improves the old hay or straw to do so, ana does no harm to the new crop. It is, in some sense, a real benefit to the new hay, because it absorbs the surplus moisture it may contain and prevents incipient decomposition by heating. Where the hay crop is short, as it is in many localities, and there are old straw stacks left in good condition, it is not a bad practice bv any means, if the farmer has any apprehension that his forage is going to be inadequate to meet the wants of the stock he intends to winter. —Exchange. ■plead Toufetoti. To four pounds of large red tomatoes take two pounds of good brown sngar, a pint of cider vinegar, half as ounce of •loves, and half an ounce of stick cinna mon.

A correspondent says: To obtain good cider the expressed jnice most re main a short time with the pomaoe, which has been crushed or bruised, not cut, as is done by most patent cider mills. The old mills braised the apples, the new ones cut them. We found fifty years ago that with the advantage we then had of the old-fashioned mills it was batter to grind or crush the apples and then let the pomace remain in the trough at least ten or twelve hoars, and if ths weather was cool, let it remain twenty-fonr hoars. What the Old Oak Aald. Klsven Days In the Hallow of au Dak Trrf—l Sua nil* Story* In a hurricane passing over the Ohio river and down the Miami valley a splendid grove of oakes on the '* old An* dersou farm " of a Mr. Rogers, in the latter locality, was almost wholly pros trated. and licre is nn aniaxing story de rived therefrom and gravwlv communi cated to the Miami /)cutcytf Upon the morning subsequent to the atom (Saturday! Mr. Roger*, in com pany with a " lured man, ' proceeded to inquire iuto the extent of the damage inflicted upon his premises, and thctlrst objective poiut was the rutucd grove. The eeutre tree of the plat was a noble oak, the king over his fellows, and a Uree which had stood the ravages of time seemingly unscathed for several centu rion, f liis tree had been snapped and felled by the storm. Upon examining the fallen giant for the purpose of ascer taining its worth as rail timber Mr. Rogers nia.le a startling discovery. This was uotlung lees than the fact that the tree in falling had disgorged a skeleton! The bones were disconnected, yellow as gold with age, end scattered promiscu ously over several square feet of pastur age.* The skull was almost intact; all the teetli aave two—molars—were still iu Uieir places, and there was a sear on the left parietal boue which looked like tlie memento of some tie roe cavalry charge. The humerus of the right arm was shattered, and save the three de fects just mentioned the skeleton, when put h>gether, was without blemish. The tree in falliug, 1 should have mentioned, was rent asunder—a task not difficult of accomplishment when I refer to the fact that an examination fouud that at some remote date the very heart of the oak had been cleft by lightning. From a spot tweuty feet from the ground up ward* to the first great fork—a distance of ten feet—a hollow extended, and from this cavity the skeleton had been hurled, rt we but knew who he was, thought my informant, Mr. llogers, ami strange to 'say, * few minutes later the twain discovered that the tree hail also disgorged a thrilling history. Au old faahioucd leathern pocket or memoran dum book lay in a remarkable state of S reservation," which no doubt had been rvipped into the rent made by the lightning, and thus been preserved while its master decayed. A few brass buttons of old and unique pattern were fouud near the memorandum, but it is with the latter that we have to deal. This old leather purse, entirely money leas, contained sundry papers covered with rude penciling* quite difficult to trace, as they were written on the backs of army passes and military consign ments which dated as for back as 177x1. Mr. Rogers conveyed the bones to his house, and set about to read the mem orandum of the captive of the tree. But owing to his failing eyesight he could decipher but little, and this little a con glomerate mass of disconnections. Rut still he read enough to learn that the eyes that once slioue in the now orbless sockets often looked upou Washington in the heat of battle, and amid the snows of Valley Forge ; and the skele ton arm when covered with flesh and muscle had struck many stalwart blows for our country. The man's name, as gathered from the papers, was liogor Vauderberg, a native of Lancaster, Pa., and a captain in the revolutionary army. He was an aid to Washington during the retreat across the Jerseys, and served a time in Arnold's headquarters at West Point In 1791 he marched with St. Clair against the northwestern Indians, and in the faiuons outbreak of that General on the Wabash. November 3, of the year just written, he was wounded aud captured. But while being conveyed to the Indian towu at Upper Piqua— a his torical place well known to yonr readers —he effected his escape, but found him self hard pressed by his savage foes. He saw the hollow in the oak, and de spite the mangled arm, and with theaid of a beech that grew beside the giant then, he gained the haven, and dropj*ed therein. Then came a fearful discovery. He had miscalculated the depth of the hollow and there was no escape. 0, the story told by the diarv of the oak's de spairing prisoner! fiow rather than surrender to the torture of the stake he chose death by starvation ; how he wrote his diary in the uncertain light and the snows ! Here is one entry in the diary: November 10th.—Five days without food ! When I sleep I dream of Ins cions fruits and flowing streams. The , stars laugh at my misery ! It is snow ing now. I freeze wlule I starve. God pity me ! The italicized words were supplied bv Mr. Rogers, as the trembling hand oft-times refused to indite plainly. Sever was such a record of suffering traced by hnman hand before. The en tries covered a period of eleven days, and in disjointed sentences is told the story of St. Clair's defeat. Mr. Rogers has written to Lancaster to ascertain if any descendants of the ill-fated captain ive; if so, they shall have his bones." ** Mamma is Dead.'' The Virginia City (Nevada) /■Enter prise, in a recent issue,, relates the fol lowing: " Mr. John W. Van Brocklic., of Twin Bridges, a short distance away from this city, was helping to build a church at Sheridan, and was away from home with his wagon ami team from Monday morning till Saturday night. He had been several weeks so occupied, i He was, therefore, absent from his wife and two little children, the eldest five yearsold, all the week, except Saturday nights and Sundays. Mrs. Van Brock iin and the children enjoyed good health, and the hnsband and father had no fear for the safety of the birds in the home-nest. There were near neighbors, too. On Saturday evening the two children used to toddle a good distance along the road by which their father came, to meet him and get a ride home in the wagon. On a late Saturday, Mr. Van Brocklin was returning home as usual, and the two little fellows bad gone qnite a distance to meet him. He stopped to take them in the wagon, and as he lifted them up, he asked, 'How is mamma ?' Two little voices replied, 'O, papa, mamma's dead,' He thought he aid not hear correctly and asked again, • Your mamma ? * The little voices again chimed together. 'Yes, papa, mamma's dead in the lied.' Van Brocklin hurried his team home. He found his wife indeed in bed insenible, and fast sinking in death. She was there alone ; no neighbors were near. He called loudly for help—the neigh bors were alarmed, a doctor was sum moned, but before he arrived the poor woman had passed away. The doctor said her attack was of a paralytic na ture. This is the children's storv, gathered from them by odds and ends: On Thursday evening, Mrs Van Brock lin called her children to her, and told them she was sick, and to run and call the nearest neighbor. Then she fell down on the bed. She never said any thing more to them, and they at first supposed she was asleep. It was grow ing dark, and they were afraid to go for the neighbor. They slept in their clothes, and tried to waken their mother in the morning, but she would not rouse. They ate what they could find cooked in the house, and drove up the cows morning and evening to be milked; but there was nobody to milk them, and at the usual time they turned them oat into the pasture again. The neigh bors seeing the children at their usual daily tasks supposed, of course, that all waa right with them at borne, and so it happened that none of them called. The oldest child began to be a little frightened, and suggested to the other: 'What if mamma should be dead. Bhe must be dead, or she'd waken up,' and so the little boys came to the conclu sion that their mother had gone away from*them, and wondered what papa would say when he heard of it. Their cariosity on this point was excited, and, with their hearts full of news, they started out to meet their father coming home in his wagon. They had been forty-eight hours with the shadow of death in the house, and were not old enough to realize what it meant." The Indian question—"White man got any rum?" American* Ahroad.

It is better to War the ills we have than fly to oth ers that may be worse, and are certain to be just as bath Humor* of the Telegraph. Not long since a countryman came into a telegraph office in Bangor, Maine, with a message, and asked that it be seut immediately. The operator took the message as usual, put his in strument in communication with its destination, ticked off the signals upon the key, and then, according to the rule of the office, hung the message iiaper on the hook with others that had been previously sent, that at night they might all be fifed for preservation. The man lounged around some time, evi dently unsatisfied. "At last," says the narrator of the incident, "his patience was exhausted, and he belched out, • Ain't you going to send that dispatch ?' The operator politely informed him that he hail sent it. ' No, ver ain't,' replied the indignant man ; 'there it is now on the hook.'" So far M the exact use of language was concerned, the ruau was right. Still more ludicrous mistake* sometimes oc cur. Thus the German papers reported that at Carlsrube, towards the close of the late war, an aged mother nunc to the telegraph office carrying a dish fall of sauerkraut, which she desired to have telegraphed to Kastadt, Her son must receive the kraut by Sunday. The operator conld not convince her that the telegraph was not capable of such a performance. "How could so many soldiers have been sent to France by telegraph ?" she asked, and finally de parted grumbling. Almost every operator meets with equally amusing instances. One re cently related the following incident: " A gentleman came to my office to send a message, and after writing it, waited, as people often do at small offices, to see it sent I called 'Office,' and the o|>erator at the other end of the line came to the key and said, ' Busy—a minute.' So I leaned back in my chair to wait, when thegentleman sai. , 'Have you sent it ?' I said, 'No ; they say they are busy—to wait a minute whereupon he said, looking surprised, ' Why, I didn't hear themand then added, brightening up, as if he had thought of the reason, 'but I am a little deaf in one ear !' I think I managed to keep a straight face till he left, but it was hard work." Cheese in Ohio. Mr. Baldwin, the man who first intro duced cheese into Ohio, sold half of his first by wholesale to Mr. Ferguson, the first sale of Western Reserve cheese on record, in the town of Louisville. With the other half cheese under lii Harm, onr cheese peddler sallied forth to supply the people at their houses. He railed at the mansion of Mrs. Prather, wife of a partner in the firm of Prather, Bullitt A Washburn—noted merchants of the city. Mrs. Prather met him at the door, when he told her lie had cheese to selL She said there had never been any of that artieln in the -Louisville market before. While they were talk ing Mrs. Prather's two daughters— young ladies—came to the door, atid one of tliem asked : " Ma, what has the gentleman got to seii r "Cheese." "What is cheese ?" In the early and economical days of cheese-making in Ohio, with cheese at two cents a pound the dairymen oould not afford to pay cash for anuatto, while a cheaper substitute in the shape of Spanish brown paint could be used. Mr. Baldwin's cheeses were smeared with Spanish brown, and he offered to let the young lady taste and see what cheese was like. She nibbled a bit of the smearing instead of the meat of the cheese. "On ! how nasty 1" said the Louisville belle. Mr. Baldwin saw the mistake she had made, and tapping the cheese in the centre, gave her a taste of the real stuff. "Oh ! I never did taste anything so good !" said she. So the indulgent mother bought a bit's worth to feast the household, and Mr. Bald win told her that he had sold a half cheese to Ferguson, where they could get more of it if they liked it. Other families took a bit's worth each, that day, and when the husbands came home to tea, cheese was on the tables ; the wives told of the supply at Ferguson's; there was a rush for more; one man who got the start of the others took all that Ferguson had, and the rest called for a division !

Among the innumerable stories told about the Shah is one to this effect : According to the Koran, his Majesty is forbidden to tread on any other soil than that trod den by Mussulmans. To remedy this little drawback, the Shah has ingeni ously placed a lining of earth of hisown country between the soles of his boots. This probably accounts for fhe dust which is kicked up wherever he goes— just as the quantity of diamonds he wears results in hia sonstantly making ■ush a shine !

The real objection to living simply ami cheaply is that one cannot nffonl it. A few geniuses can atnke out new plans of life, bnt most men will fiud that more trouble is saved by falling in with the stream than by struggling against it. The man who tries to di vide his allegiance, to remain in the world without paying the world's price for it, will generally have little reward beyond the trifling satisfaction of a good conscience. In one sense it may almost be said that saving comes easier t<> the poor man than to his richer neigh bor. The chains with which we are bound are riveted npon ns with terrible strength.

We have long known that- butter is costly food,, but we are surprised to learn, savs a New York paper, from re cent statistics that the sum total of the value of the butter shipped to New York market exceeds that of flour, and in fact exceeds any other one product except meat. These are the figures : Batter, gttO.OOO.OtK); cheese, 15,000,000; total dairv products, $50,000,000; wheat, 824,000, 0; corn, 820.000,000; flonr, 820,000,000. It is not likely that more than half of the dairy products are ship jiod abroad, while it is certain that larger proportions of wheat and flonr are. It msv lie said that the amount of batter ana cheese consumed in New York city is worth 85,000,000, or 85 for each per son. However, butter does not cost so much a* whisky.

The Senator, too, finds no cause of regret in the foot that for once in his Senatorial career he ia engaged in an important work that ia neither sectional nor parti san, and which nothing but the worst political malignancy can ooustrue into a a design for liis own advancement be fore the country. At the best, be claims 110 more than a ready perception of a popular discontent with uomiuatiug conventions that cannot much louger endure, and a m thingness to meet such s sentiment half way. Mr. Morton's plan of reform, which is that of divxliug the States into Presidential districts of e<|ual jxipuUtion and contigiotis territo ry, and giviug each district a single vote for President and Vice-President, would, in his opinon, if udopted before the summer of IKTfi, strike sucli a blow at the rauca* tyranny of party conven tions that Ca arisci, if there should lie any danger of it tinder the existing elec toral plan, would be impossible, or, what is the same thing, possible only iu the event of the masses being a* enamored of the idea of pcr|etual otlice-holding tut the army of office holders now in possession. Heuator Morton, in hi* report*, in tend* to go back to the debates in the Constitutional Convention over the mode of fleeting the President and Vice President, and show how the best and most logical wind* there present, at the head of whom wa* the illustrious Prank lilt, (minted out the inconvenience and danger* of tin* method that prevailed, and argued eliKiuently for entrusting the jieople directiy with the determina tion of Iho one question that really con cerned them more than any other in the federal system. He will snow, too, the mistaken* reason* ou which the conser vative* in the convention carried the point and fashioned their Presidential election upon the ariaUs-rati.- models of the Venetian and Genoese llcpublio*, while feariug that they had already con ferred too lunch direct political power upon the general mas* of the people, lie Will refer to the case* of JeffersoU and Burr and Adnma and Jackson to il lustrate hi* assertion that the Klectorml College system, beside* Iteing use lea* a* a medium of selecting men of better character and attainments than could IK di accrued by enthusiastic and unthink ing direct voter*, can become, through intrigue, so dangerous as to precipitate civil war, and that such danger grow* with the lafMic of time, and la, by the nature of the aystem, more daiigerott* uow than ever, and will IK* BO here after. The district system is sup(Krted by the Senator iu preference to the plan preferred by others of giving every vo ter in every State a direct aud Itule lesndent vote for President and Vice *reident, lieeause it gtvew more practi cal force to the wtslu-s of contiguous communities and interests, and re strains the power of such log rolling combinations as carry prohibitory tariffs ami fraudulent inU-rual improve ment bills. This was the plan recom mended by Rn illustrious Senate com mittee that oat upon tiieoucation nearly fifty year* ago and brought in a report that contrasted the merits of both plana of voting; and though the logical argu ment is admitted to lie apparently on the aide of individual voting, the prac tical view of the questum demonstrates that the result of a vote by districts organized as proposed would be much nearer a pure, impartial expression of the popular will. Senator Morton ex jHi-ts to carrv hi* Committee unani mously for hia plan, and lmpee to ad vance the measure considerably before Congress a* early as next session. Fred's Intended. The Dayton (O.) Journal says: The gossip iu high life that Fred. (Irßiit, son of the President, is aliotit to marry the daughter of Hon. J. C. Ibinlevy, of Chicago, has especial interest in this section. The voung lady referred to is Miss Mattie Ihinlevy, who removed from Ihiyton with her father to Chicago about three years ago. Judge D., dur ing his residence here, was, a portion of the time. Assessor of Internal Reve nue, and on retiring from that position, he resumed the prartiee of law. Miss Mattie made her debut in society here, and at once liecamo a lielle of the city, her lMterless beauty placing rivalry out of the queation. Hhe la a brunette, with large, dark eye, shaded by long, heavy eyelashes, and arched by s heavy brow, which harmonizes with aud gives an irresistibly Ix-autiful expression to delicate features fashioned in beauty's own mould. Her bearing is one of queenly grace, softened by s gentleness of manner that makes her one of the most agreeable of women. Dog Shows. We should advocate a dog ahow in each Htate if thereby conld IK got to gether rll the dogs, good, bail, and in different, that go to make up dogdom. We should advocate tliia for the benefit of agriculture; for we fancy that if many fanners who now keep worthless, or worse than worthless curs, were to see and know what a really good and valuable dog is, they would consent to dispntch their curs and savo their neigliliors their sheep. The dog shows in Knglaiul and France have, in some measure, resulted in weeding out the jKKirer and more nseleaa class of dogs; and herein lies their utility, beside proving attractive resorts for the popu lace. Whether our people would ride long distances to see a Htate dog show or not, we might try the experiment as a reformatory movement. If agricultu rists must keep dogs, they should keep those that are most docile, sagacious, and naeful. MEDICAL MANIACS. —There are num bers of medical men so wedded to the old formulas, that all changes seem to them tike innovations. These medical maniacs arc, fortunately, incapable of much mischief in this practical age. While the VINEOAK PrrrEus are curing Indigestion, Nervous Debility, Consti pation, and countless other diseases that defy the remedies of the pharma copeia, it is impossible to thurst down the tliroata of intelligent invalids "heroic" doses of mineral poison, or to persuade them to take adulterated al cohol, impregnated with cheap astrin gents, as a " healing balm" or " bal samic preparation." VINEOAR BITTERS, a pure bqtanical tonic, anil alterative, guiltless of the curse of distilled or fer mented liouor, is actually accomplish ing what the mineral and alcoholic cure mongers have so incessantly promised but liavo never yet performed. Under these circumstances it is no wonder that this medicine has taken precedence of all those burning fluids mis-called tonics.— Com.
