Measuring tho Height of Trees.
In his talo of '''Monsieur Violent," Cap
tain. Marryatt tolls us, as an instance of the
great aptitude for applying simple rules
possessed by the Shoshone Indians, that
when they desired to measure the height of
a tree at any time when its shadow was
cast on the ground, they used to place a
stick of a given length into the ground,
and then calculating the difference be
tween the length of its shadow and its act
ual height, nnd applying tho same to the
shadow of the tree, they ascertained its
correct height, thus unknowingly working
out a sum in the rule of three. Any person
however ill-informed, might easily get a
the exact height of a tree when the sun
shines, or' during bright moon-light,by
marking two lines on the ground throe
feet apart, and then placing Jin tho ground
on the line nearest to the sun a stick that
shall stand exactly three feotjout of ftlie
soil. When the end of the shadow of the
stick exactly touches the further line then
also the shadow of the tree will be exactly
in length tho same measurement as its
height. Of course in such a case the sun
will be at an exact angle of 45. Measure
ments of this kind would best be effected
in the summer, whon the sunj is powciful
has reached to a good hoight into the
heavens, and whon the trees are clothed
with living grcccn so as to cast a Jdonse
shadow. To many to whom this idea
might not have occurred, it might be mado
annually a matter of interest, thus on
warm summer days to take the height of
prominent trees, and so tocompare notes
of growth from year to year.
Water for Hoses.
A writer in the Agriculturist says : This
bummer my horses got badly run down.
We fed them liberally, but they did not eat
well. They had no appetite, no digestion,
and no strength and spirit. They camo
home at noon and at night fagged out, and
their night's rest did not refresh them.
I sawed a barrel in two and placed the onds
on tho platform of tho pump. Those are
for watering the horses. Into ono of thorn
we put a pailful of com meal and mix
ed it with the water. Tho horses at first
did not like it, and would only drink a little
when very thirsty. After they had drank
what they would they woro allowed pure
water. In a very few days, however, they
drank this corn moal Boup with a relish,
and in less than a week there was a decided
change for tho better in tho appearance of
all the horses. We do not let them eat the
meal, but merely lot them drink tho meally
water. I have no doubt it is as good for
them as a plate of good soup is for a tired
and hungry man before dinner. It seems
to stimulate the appetite and aid digestion.
Orange Tree.
The orange, though most generous of
trees, is the most jealous of Its treasures.
Great pointed spears of an inch or two in
length, protect tho access to tho branches.
It would bo the work of time and skill to
rob an orange troo, and an offender trying
it in tho dark might find himself punished
in tho act.
The orange as taken from the tree is
hard and heavy, the skin brittle and crisp,
breaking if one tries to press it. A fresh
orange cannot bo sucked its rind is too
brittle. That capability of the orange is
wholly tho result of the balf-wilted state in
which it generally comes into market.
Could wo possibly get them into New
York market as we take them from the
trees, they would forever drivo out all
fruits that now bear the name. But very
few can reach the North in this condition,
and those generally aro special orders or
presents to friends.
Funning In Louisiana,
An occasional correspondent, writing
from Morehouse Parish, represents that in
that section, the present 'generation of la
borers will not realize that the land . now
needs different and more thorough culti
vation than whon new ; and so are likoly to
go on, to the cud of life, " making corn
and cotton, just as old masters did when
they were young." Last season on a place
which he superintended, ho mado, from 150
acres planted in cotton, 175 bales; but
other places worked by him, to which he
could not give personal supervision, did
not yield half so well.
Cliniiglng Seed Potatoes.
In answer to a correspondent, tho Cot
tage Gardener says t Kvery fourth or fifth
year wo consider it desirable to have a
change of seed potatoes j but if you quango
Hie ground repeatedly, and that very con
siderably, you will gain little, if anything,
by a change of seed, for you obtain the ben
flit of it annually, though not to such an
extent Hi if you wore to have frenh seed
from a distance.
