Proflta oTTtm PUntn(. In a pper read by Avery P. Slade at the meeting of the MaesachnsetU Historical SocietT held on Juiie 17th he stated a camber of instances of the taecesftfai planting of pine trees for timber oa the thin soil of New England, Vbere the retnrnslthough not extravagant, were fairly satisfac tory. In one experiment, twenty five acres of woru-ont land in Ply mouth Monty, Mae., was bought for twenty-five dollars an acre, and set with white pines at the expense ofaboni 1200. The young trees, from six to eighteen inchns high, were act in rows ten feet apart each X. a. a way : and a year ago, aiier iweuij year's growth, they measured from twelve to sixteen inches in diameter, and the plantation is valued at tl, 200, based on the assessment. The coat of the land and all the work on it, at compound interest at five per cent, has amounted to over 11,400. Had the owner planted with a sole view to profit, he would, hare set the trees ix feet by ten, "giving nearly twice as many, and - they would have been less branching and more valuable for timber, and been worth at least . f 2,000. - At ten feet eaoh war.' some of the branches j were nrteen ieei long, interlocking and rendering places impenetrable. Another plantation was made in an adjoining county, on land valued at only ten dollars an acre, at a cost of five dollars an acre for planting ; and after twenty-five years the standing wood was sold for" $140 an acre, af fording a large profit. Th rows were six and nine feet a part and the trees were from four to six fcet in the rows, the nearest being part ly intended as awind break. An ex periment was made by setting pine trees on land too poor to cultivate, which are now thirty-one years old and are estimated worth (150 an acre. From a careful estimate it was found that the weight in growth durinethe last ten years was equal to that of the first twenty; but another account of a plantation in another place, states that the trees ' had nearly ceased crowing at twen-! ty-five years. Hence the importance of careful observation on different I soils and conditions of growth, to knew when to cut. The importance was stated of carefully assorting the young trees before planting, placing those of equal size by themselves, to prevent the suoalller ones from being shaded and crowded under by tbe larger, and uneven rows formed. The cul tivator is to be passed between the rows twice a year or oftener, until the trees are fairly under way in growth. Early pruning would re move profitless side branches, and make handsome trees. The white pine was particularly recommended because best adapted to the thin and poor soils of the State, and next to this the white birch succeeds best. It was therefore advised, by way of experiment, to sew birch seeds broadcast between the rows of pine when the latter are four or five years old. The birch would over take the pines, check the growth of branches and render side-pruning unnecessary At twelve years they would yield many cords an acre. From experiments which we would have made with single trees during tbe last twenty -five years, the growth of different evergreens accords very nearly with the meas urement given in this article. From the Country Gentleman. Hint for the Hay-Field. A few short and pithy rules for making the beet of hay might just now be repeated, as follows: Get the mowers into good condition, without a day's unavoidable delay ; watch the grass closely, and cut it before tbe seed is formed just when I the blorom is fading. Cut it as soon as the dew isoff.but not while it is damp. Before the evening dew falls upon it, rake it up and put it in cocks holding about three hun dred pounds each. If rain threatens, cover the cocks safely with hay caps. Take in no hay until all has been cut and cocked. Tbe hay will cure in the best manner in the cock, and it may stay a week without harm, if covered with the caps. When ready to draw it to the barn, uncover the cocks and throw them over and open them. Have one person doing this, while he others are loading and drawing in. Do not stack it, but place it under a tight roof, if it is only a barrack, open at tbe eidee. Uncover only what can be drarn in in one day. At soon as the field is clear, give it a top-dressing of com- rt or some artificial fertilizer ; but not turn the cows upon it it would pay better to buy some hay from a neighbor. This last rule ap plies to the next year's crop, but it is rightly placed here, because next year would be too late to use it It is of the greatest importance, and should by no means be omitted. Finally, gather the hay caps togeth er; dry them, if necessary ; lay them evenly one upon another; roll them up, bind them in the roll, and store them in a dry place where no mice can gnaw boles in them. . It - would be an excellent thing to etee-p them in a solution of alum and sugar of lead, to preserve and make them waterproof. A inerican Agricultur ist). - , Wheat From Iolia. Dr. W. W. Hunter, an authority on all subjects connected with India, in a recent examination before an English Parliamentary committee, puts thfeooet of raising a bushel of wheat in India at from forty-five to fifty cent. . This is decidedly below the average cost in this country and not far from the cheapest rate at wbu;r.acan be grown in the new Northwest; bat, owing to the h rh rates of the Indian railroads, their relatively small mileage and the lone water communication to Liver pool, Dr. Hunter puts the cost of delivering the wheat in London at ninety 'eects a bushel. This makM tbe total cost in Liverpool forty-four shillings a quarter, the avenge price for the past season of wheat in the Liverpool market hav ing been thirty-eht billings ten pence, in ower woros, white a bushel of wheat can be grown more ! cheaply in India, the cost of deliv- ery trosa field to Hark Lane is ful ly one half greater than the average coot at present of delivering wheat from this country. rMte4.

Boyd's. with Farmers. In these times of seeking for new mnnrcefl of rrotit on the farm as farm as that of grain growing wanes, bees come in for their share of attention. Profsesor Cook, of Michigan, relates bow bee-keeping maybe profitably associated with farming: -We often hear that only special ists should keep bees, that bee-keeping is no business for a farmer or for a person with other business." The experience of his brother, E. J. Cook, of Owosao, who is one of the best farmers in the State, and whose crops are always among the best in the country where be lives "A few ears ajzo he purchased a few colon ies of bees more to interest his boys than with the expectation of mak ing money. He winters them in a pood cellar and has never lost any. In 1SS3 his colonies reached fifty, and last year sixty. In 18S3 his profits from his bees exceeded by a considerable sum those from his farm. Last year the excess was even greater. Either of his boys, one 10 and the other 14, is capable of entirely manageing the bees, lbe apiary has been a source of valuable ftonirht and study to all. and the nnnstant profits have brought no small satisfaction. Mr. Cook and his boys have spared no pains to se cure instruction and never refuse needed attention to the bees. They ay they had better neglect the farm." Prof. Cook further says of the pro fits of beekeeping, that a good thoroughly prepared beekeeper can easily care for one hundred colonies without anv help. Except from the middle of May to July 1st he could care for 200 colonies, which, to do well, should be separated into two apiaries which should be at least four or five miles apart. "Thus, by hiring an assistant for two or three months during the sea son for storing, a good apiarist could care well for 200 colonies. In a good bee region, which abounds in such honey plants is white clover, basswood, rasplierries and abundant Fall plants, it is not too much to ex nect as the year's average fifty pounds of cone b honey per colony and increase to double the amount of colonies. This estimate is below rather than above what bus been se cured by our be6t beekeepers." The Great Flanker Flanke. When General Shermans army was at Goldsboro, X. C, General Sherman made a visit to the head quaiters of General Howard. While there he felt the need of a small draught of whisky to drive off the malarial effects of the climate on his system. Now all of the officers of the urmy knew of General How ard's rigid temperance proclivities, and were strict in their respect for them. General Sherman knew there was no whisky in General Howard's quarters, and, therefore, did not mention his wants. Presently Dr. John Moore, the Medical Director, came in, nnd, after a little conver sation. General Sherman gave him the wink and said ; "Doctor, have you aseidlilz powder in your quar ters?" The Doctor answered that he had. General Howard said : "Gen eral Sherman, it is not necessary to go to the doctor's quarters, I have plenty of seidlits powders here, and ?ood ones, too. I will get you one." f there was anything in General Howard's quarters that General Sherman did not want it was a seidlitz powder, and, theiefore, be said to General Howard : "Never mind, General. Give yourself no trouble." (Howard was then getting the powder and glasses of water ready.) "I will be going by Moore's quarters after while." Dr. Moore was a great wag, and quickly took in the situation and became a party to the joke on General Sherman ; By the way, General, I don't think I have a seidlitz powder in my quar ters, and you had better take the one General Howard has." By this time General Howard had the pow der all ready for use and handed the glasses to General Sherman. Rather than offend Howard by say ing be meant whisky he drank the foaming stuff, much to his own dis gust, to the satisfaction of General Howard and to the amusement of the staff officers. Belting Oat Cabbage Flaata. Setting out plants during a Tain is desirable, inasmuch as tbe evap oration is moderate. Setting them out before a rain is still better. Cloudy weather, with the atmos phere full of moieture, is equally ad vantageous. In regard to preserv ing the roots, provided they are not allowed to dryland shrivel up by ex posure to the air. If the roots are kept intact, or if the roots which are broken off a short distance from the I tips are kept so moist that they will speedily callous over and then throw out fresh roots, the plants will suck up water from the soil and "hardl' feel the moving." But if, on the other hand, the fibrous roots are allowed to shrivel up they had bet ter be removed altogether and let the stem throw out new ones. In re gard to whether it is better to set out the plants as soon aa possible, or to let them wilt in the cellar, much will depend on the weather. It may well be that a fresh plant, full of sap, by exposure after trans planting to our hot sun may shrivel up so rapidly that the leaves may be reduced to a powder and the plant destroyed before the roots have time to callous over and throw out new fibres to suck up water from I tbe soil. In the shade a cool, moist place, the leaves part with their sap slowly ttud the rooU heal over, and when set out new roots are formed before the comparatively dry leaves . :.u .... .V- 1 'j part with the thicker and richer sap.

A Florida Correspondent i the San Francisco Chronicle tells a snake story that waa vouched for by a gen tleman of bis acquaintance, and in his own words : " We had a good breed of bene, and were proud of them. Two were nnlenid hatchers Giddv and Golly, You may laugh at the names, but they were given by a pet sister who had been dead manv years. After hearing a sermon one Sunday, she decided to call her two hens Gideon and Goliath. She waa so delighted with them that mother hadn't the fceart to change them, and bo, amid the laughter of the household, we christened them Giddy and Golly. They were handsome creatures, and never hatched less than fifteen out of sixteen eggs. " One day my brother gravely in formed me that he had seen a big snake in a corner of tbe barn, and we set out to hunt for it. As we neared the place there seemed to be an unusual commotion among the hens, and Giddy and Golly were vociferating on the edge of their re spective nests in the language of their ilk with such vehemence mat we could not hear ourselves think. Then we were sure that the snake had been brewing trouble, and forth with searched the barn until we found it. Pinnins it by the head in its corner I cut it open, and there were thirteen of Golly's big white eggs, still warm and comfortpble. These were at once transferred to the nest, making Golly happy over her recovered treasures. Well, madam, the thirteen eggs that had been in the snakes maw were every one hatched and grew up into matronly henhood, quite oblivious of their narrow escape and curious vi cissitude." How to a-et wiy Garden Cropa. There are many ways of getting: rly crops, or oi trying u get mew, sucb as starling the plants in the house or hot bed.and covering them with grass, etc.. after they are set i out But when tnose metnoas are not adoDted. ' there is st ill a chance , to have early vegetables and and a good garden. It is simply to select the warmest and driest soil, and sow or plant early. It is not de sirable or wise to sow or plant the main crops before the 6oil is in good working condition. But for a few early crops on a email scale, we can well afford to run a little risk of los ing our seed by too early sowings. One thing, however, should not be overlooked. Do not depend on tnis ; earlv sowing, but sow or plant again ; a utue later, wnen me sou aim weather are more favorable. If the firet sowing succeeds, you are so much ahead; if it fails, you have lost only the seed and vour labor. You can well afford to run this risk. There are some crops which can be sown the moment the frost is out of the soil, with little or no risk. Among those we may mention peas, cabbage, cauliflower, spinach, onion, lettuce, celery, beet, carrot, parsnip, etc. It is seldom that these crops are hurt by early frost Last year a frost in May destroyed many cab bage plants, but this is a very un usual occurrence. Among the crops which we would re-sow without waiting to see it the first sowing will escape, are beets, radishes, cab bage, cauliflower, beans and sweet corn. . : . 1 . .1 :i To the Death. On Monday morning of last week, when George V. Bury, living in the town of Howard, went out to teed his cow, be found her lying in a pool of blood in the barnyard. There was a great gash in ber lower right side, ber legs were stripped of the flesh in some places, and even her horns showed marks of violence. She was nearly dead, and wae shot to end her misery. As there was scarcely a foot of ground in the barn yard which ww not torn up, and as blood was scattered about on the fence and barn, it was plain that a desperate conflict had taken place during the , night between the cow and some - fierce animal. Daniel Smith, a neighbor of Rury's, owned a yery large and ugly Berkshire boar, and on the same morning that Rury found his cow dying in the barnyard. Smith missed his' boar from" the enclosure. It had broken down one side of the pen and escap ed. A similar break was found in the fence around Rury's barnyard. It was then made plain that the fight in the barnyard had been be tween the boar and the cow. A search was made for the boar, it was found an eighth of a mile away, lying in the soft mud on the border of a mire bole. The mud was red with its blood, which came from ten large holes in its side, where the cow had thrust her horns. The boar was badly torn in other places, and one of its tusks was broken off. Its wounds being necessarily fatal, it was also shot The duel between the two animals was not seen by any one, but all the indications are that it must have been a most ter rific combat X Y. Sun.

You may think that a strong statement, but it is indisputable. The Ameri cans are a nation of coflVe-drinkers. Aimiiu.i consumes over one-third of the entire-product of the world. No breakf.ir-t tuble. whether in the abode of the rich or the poor, ia consider ed complete without it. To many persons it ia more necessary in the morning than food. Coffee contains valuable medicinal qualities; one of which ia being anti-soporific, and therefore useful in cases of narcotic poisoning. It has been found to be one of the very best stimulants for administration to persons who are nearly dying trom starvation or cold. Alcoholic siimulanta often prove fatal when .given under the same circumstances, it is invaluable as a disinfecting agent.
