THE TIMES, NEW BLOOM FIELD, PA.. EElHIUAltY 20, 1878.
HOUSE, FARM AND GARDEN.
We Invito cnmmunlentloris trim all person who are
Interested Id mutter properly uclniiKliis; to tail de
partment. Antiquity of the turkey.
Turkeys were Introduced Into England
from America by William Strickland,
Lieutenant to Sebastian Cabot, In the
time of Henry VII. B. Franklin re
marked once upon a time that a wild
turkey should have been the em
blem of tiie United States, the log cabin
of the pioneer being In hisday surround
ed by these birds. The first turkey Been
in France was served up at the wedding
feast of Charles IX., in 1504, at which
feast Craddock and Susan B. Anthony
were present. Since that day turkeys
have always formed the nucleus tor
wedding feasts and Thanksgiving din
ners, which is about all we know con
cerning the bird, unless we should say
that newspaper men have always held
that a cut from the forward part of a
roast turkey's carcass, smothered in
gravy, and surrounded by a pound
and a half of artificial intestines, is a
dish not in the least detrimental to
health, and one which no newspaper
man ever hesitated to tackle when favor
able opportunity offered.
Protect the Roots of Trees.
Most trees in this latitude will receive
benefit by winter protection. Nature
provides this in forests by depositing
the leaves which formed their summer
clothing, upon the ground beneath, by
which most of the vitality is stored in
the roots. They form a loose covering
containing much air, thus securing
several degrees of warmth to the surface
below. In addition to the benefit thus
derived, the decaying of the leaves sup
plies a top dressing of the best kind of
nourishment for the future growth of
the tree. Stable manure affords good
protection, but is not so well adapted for
affording nourishment. A compost in
which leaves from the largest propor
tion, spread liberally, at least an inch
deep,' over the whole surface under the
tree, to be forked in the following spring,
will be highly beneficial. A tree may
live and grow without these precautions,
but its thrift will be greatly promoted by
observing them.
The Daughter at Home.
Do not think that because therecomes
to you no great opportunity of perform
ing a wonderful work, you will let the
thousand little ones pass you unimprov
ed. It is no small thing to be the joy of
the domestic circle, the one whose soft
touch and whose gentle, fitly spoken
word averts disturbance and disagree
ment, conciliates the offended, and
makes alien natures understand each
other. It is no small thing to possess
the happy tact which makes people
pleased with themselves, and which in
sensibly urges people to appear at their
best. The young woman who is gifted
with this grace of touch, this swiftness
of eympathy, and this beautiful un
selfishness, may not have a fair face,
nor a trim figure, but she win be en.
dowed with a dignity more winning
than either.
A lady of Michigan has been very
successful in obtaining two flowers in
stead of one from every flowering sheath
of the calla lily. Her method is as
follows : ' As soon as the joint flower is
cut, or begins to wither, pull the stalk
down through the open sheath clear to
the bottom. At the bottom will be found
standing, close to the stalk, another bud,
inclosed in a delicate covering. Cut the
old stalk away as close as possible with
out injuring the bud, and if it has not
been kept back too long, it will grow up
very quickly.
0A burning chimney, wheu the
soot has been lighted by a fire in the
fireplace,can be extinguished by shutting
all the doors in the room, so as to pre
vent any current of air up the chimney;
then, by throwing a few handfuls of
common fine salt upon the fire in jthe
grate, or on the hearth, the fire in the
chimney will be Immediately extinguish
ed. The philosophy of this is that in
the process of burning the salt, muriatic
acid gas is evolved, which is a prompt
extinguisher of Are.
One way for the farmer to make
the agricultural columns of permanent
value to himself Is to prepare a scrap
book into which may be transferred
those bits of experience, statements of
fact, and suggestive paragraphs which
seem to meet his owu peculiar wants.
