A jYnt jirf^ , 4n yfft l Origion of Vegetables- Gallic came from Sicily, where, for my part, 1 wish it had stayed. Beaus blossomed first within sight oi embryo mummies, in the land ot the Sphinx ; and the plant first laid its glossy treasures under the African sun, and Southern Europe gave the artichoke and the beet. To Persia we stand indebted for peaches, walnuts, mull- I < rries and a score of everyday lux uriea and necessities ; to Arabia we owe the cultivation of spinach ; and to Southern Europe wo must bow iu tearful gratitude for the horse radish. At Siberia the victims of modern in temperance may shake their gory locks forever — for from that cold un social land came rye, the father of that great fire-water river which floated so many jolly souls on its treacherous tides, and engulfed so much of humanity's treasure. The chestnut, dear to squirrels and young America, first dropped its burrs on haliau soil. Who ever dreams, while enjoying his "Bergamott,"his "Flem ish Beauty," or his "Jargonelle," that the first pear blossom opened within sight of the Pyramids ? And what fair school girl of the pickle eating tribe, dreams of thanking the East Indies for cucumbers ? Farsley—the prettiest of all pretty greeiis taking so naturally to our American soil that it seems quite to the manor born — is only a sojourner among us. Its native home is Sardi nia, or rather, there it first secured au acquaintance with o vilized man. Onions, too, are only naturalized for eigners in America. 1 had hoped that in poetic justice, research would prove this pathetic bulb to have sprung from the land of Niobe. But no ; Egypt stretches forth her with ered hand and claims the onion as her own ! Maize and potatoes, thank Heaven ! can mock us with no for eign pedigree. They are ours — ours to command, to have and to hold from time's beginning to its ending,though Eegland and Ireland blaster over " corn " and " praties " till they are hoarse. Farmers Should Raise Mors Ducks, 1 eonld never understand why our farmers through the State did not keep ducks ; as a matter of profit they are more profitable than hens. — It may be the impression that in or der to keep ducks, A person must have a pond or stream of water near by, has deterred many from keeping them ; but there is no need of any thing of the kind. It is true that it is better to have a pond or stream but you can raise ducks just as well elsewhere. I know of parties that are very successful in raising them, that have only a shallow tub set in the ground and filled from the pump occasionally. In fact, the trouble of raising ducks and about the only one, is letting the young go into the wa ter too soon after they are hatched ; they should not be allowed to go into water for a week or ten days after they leave the nest. When I Bpeak of the profit from ducks, l do not have reference to the common duck that is seeu every day. I mean a breed of ducks that will weigh twelve pounds to the pair, alive, such as the Rouen and Aylesbury, and both excellent layers, easily kept and reared, and being very large and excellent for the market, and it costs no more to rear them than the common docks that will only weigh on the average about eight pounds to the pair. The Rouen is a very handsome duck in plumage ; the drake has a glassy green head and neck down to a white ring on his neck, the lower part of the body is a beautiful mixed grey, the wings are of a beautiful green brown grey and shaded with brown on the back. The duck is of a beau tiful brown with about every feather shaded on the outer edge with black. 1 hey are acknowledged the best of the varieties, laying very early, and continuing through the season, and late in winter. The Aylesbury is pure white, both the ducks, and drake and about the same size as the Rou en. Both become very familiar and being large and heavy, do not care to roam as much as the common kind. —Maine Farmer. A PROTECTION AGAINST BORERS.— Mr. H. J. Foster, of Quincy, Mass., in forms us that he has an apple orch ard which has been badly infested by the borer. Two or three years ago, while going over the orchard in the fall, and removing from ten to fifteen young borers from most of the trees, he noticed that invariably there were no signs of their work to be discover ed where a chance plant of the toma to had sprung up from seed in soil or manure. Acting on this discovery, he has since planted tomatoes exten sively about his apple trees and quince bushes, and find it a complete protection, as the beetle which depos its her eggs during the summer months upon the bark of the tree near the ground shuns every tree near which a tomato plant is growing. X. E. Former. &- S. P. Snow, of Blakesburg, lowa, uaea a cheap com sheller. Bore an inch and a half hole through a two inch plank ; put logs to the plank, makiug a stool of it about as high as a chair. Over the hole in the plank firmly nail a plate of iron about an eighth of an inck in thick ness,and with a hole through the cen tre of the plate, just large enough to admit the passage of a cofn cub.— Through this hole,with a small wood en mallet the ears of corn are to be driven. The machine, Bimple as it is will shell very clean, and with doub le 01 triple the expedition of hand shelling. How TO PURIFY TAINTED CASKS.—A correspondent of the Country Gentle man tells up how he does this : "Hav ing had some sad experience with both pork and lard, I tried the expe riment of putting a small armful of dry shavings in the cask, and setting them on fire. The result was that the grease, and all other impurities ah r.'jrbed by the wood of the cask, was 'fj'. to the surface and burned. It u j '•? bathed perfectly clean and wifi U- M ii w.

There may or may not be an accounting for this mysterious disease in the pear tree, but we want light, and however fain the glimmerings may be, they will add to our small stock of knowledge and will help to lead the way to oth er discoveries which may be more substantial and satisfactory. THE PEAR BLIGHT.—The causes of of this malady have probably battled the skill of the horticulturist, more thau the diseases of all ether fruit trees together. There is indeed some thing mysterious about it. We read ily see how a tree can be killed by a hard winter, or a summer's drought, or by the attacks of the borer ; but to see a free, in midsummer, that has made a vigorous growth and is per haps loaded with fruit, suddenly with er up and die, is to witness a fact not easily accounted for. Our fruit men at Oueida have a practice of going over their pear orchard iu August and September, to cut off the parts affected, in order to prevent the malady by the action of the sap, and to improve the unsight ly appearance which a blighted tree presents. This job the past season fell to me. So arming myself with a pruning-kuife and saw, a bottle of shellac varnish, a note book and pen cil, I went through the pear orchards, examining carefully every tree. The number of pear trees on our grounds at the present time, is nine hundred and sixty-two. These are divided into three orchards. The first one has five hundred and fifty-two trees, embracing nearly all the lead ing varieties ; dwarfs and standard are in about equal proportions. Most of this orchard was set fifteen years ago, and the remainder eight. It is on a level plateau, about twelve feet above the Oneida Creek. The soil is a clayey-loam, intermixed with lime stone gravel. It is quite wet in the rail and spring months, but so level, that no attempts have been made to underdrain it. In this orchard I found seventy trees affected with the blight. Six were dead, ten had lost half their tops, and the rest from one to half-a-dozen branches apiece. The next orchard, seventy or eighty rods from this, is on land a little high er, and slightly rolling. The soil is a clay loam, resting on clay and quick s and, and is well underdrained. The number of trees is thre hundred ; the most of them were set six years ago. I found here but three trees that were touched with the blight ; and these very slightly, each losing but one small branch. The third orchard is on rolling laud, a trifle higher than the others. The soil is a fiue sandy loam, and so dry that it needs no uuderdraining. There are one hundred and ten trees here, which have been set from eight to nine years. Not one was affected with the blight, and I saw no signs that they ever had been. I am aware that these obse* vations made in a single season and in one locality do not afford conclusive evi dence that that the pear blight is caused by a low damp soil. But the inference is certainly strong ; and I should not risk an orchard on such a soil, unless it could be well under drained. SMALL FARMS AND FRUIT. —A NUF York farmer makes the following sug gestion : " One word in regard to small farms : In many cases where large farms are divided, there will be no orchard. But the enterprising begin ner may do well by raising small fruits while his orchard is growing. A neighbor is making more out of the Doolittle raspberries, by selling fruits and plants—both grown on the 6ame laud—from a few acres, than most men make on 100 acres by com mon farming. These and other small fruits may be grown between the rows of apple trees in a young orch ard. The grower of small fruits may also do better by growing strawber ries, raspberries and blackberries, so as to have a succession all through the season ; thus requiring less help at any one time, while the business can be better managed and control led." THINGS^WORTH KXOWINC.— A hit of glue dissolved in skim milk and wa ter will restore old crape. Half a cranberry bound on a corn will soon kill it. An inkstand was turned over upon a white table cloth ; a servant threw over it a mixture of salt and pepper plentifully, and all traces of it disappeared. Picture frames and glasses are preserved from flies by painting them with a brush dipped into a mixture made by boiling three or four onions in a pint of water.— Bed bugs are kept away by washing the crevices with strong salt water put on with a brush. Soft soap should be kept in a dry place in a cellar, and not be used until three months old.— Farm and Fireside. [ SALT fur GAPES. --Every ope has had their say about gapes ; now let a Buckeye tell you how we manage this matter. Formerly we fed the young brood with corn meal dough, losing more or less with the gapes every season. Latterly we have sal ted the dough, and now raise some two hundred chickens per season, without losing one from gapes or any other disease. The chickens are bright, vigorous and healthy, and al ways commence laying early in the fall. Now we have some forty hens, which give us an abundance of eggs. Farmers should not hesitate to adopt this plan.— lb. LICK ON CATTLE.— Having seen sev eral pieces written on this subject, and having been troubled with them for a year or two, I will give your readers my remedy. I first noticed them on a young calf that I was rais ing. I took it and laid it down, and then took a sieve and sprinkled ash es all over it,and in less than a week there was not a louse to be seen. I also served my cows the same way, and with as good success as with the calf. Put it on once iu a week or two, for three or four times. It will tot hurt them Try it.— Cor.
