It is proposed in Iowa to establish ? compulsory education with regard to -j the planting of forest trees. u The saying that any man can be a 0 good farmer is just as true as that any o man can be a good lawyer. I A Maine farmer thinks that where o ten acres are required to pasture one tl cow it is better to have the land grow r< up to wood. o Sweet apples can be grafted on sour, J1 and vice versa, with perfect success. The important points are to have vigor- P ous stocks and scions taken from j1 healthy trees. The best time to remove arbor vitse, ? yhite pine and hemlock from the woods n is just as soon as the frost leaves the c ground. They should be dug with Sades, saving as many roots as possi- ? B. Eggs may be preserved for some months by keeping them in a barrel of c tank of strong lime water or milk or ^ limo Tf nnf Ko orlriaoKlo fa aata. i*uiv? xw n viuu uvv i/v uu i iouuiv iv vvui j^ mence preserving them until the cool ^ weather of the early fall months occur. According to Mr. Dunlap one of the h chief problems for the future to reveal n to Western farmers is " whether the e world will stagnate on 20-cent corn, or n move forward at the rate of 3 cents a a mile, with all unjust freights thrown out of the list." j, What is the reason that young far- p mers do not branch out a little in the g nursery business ? They might just as n well as not. Start with half an acre, s growing apples and pears, and budding tl or grafting in due season, and, giving tl good cultivation, they will be certain to 11 make sale in any part of the United o States. Of course they must have sense a and learn how to do it, but t here, need s! be no trouble if the inclination exists. a I noticed that my colt would not M drink with the bridle-bit in without .V pushing his nose into the water, below t( the bit. On this hint I acted. Having ? a self - milking cow I made a small tin tube for a bit, passed a tough piece of b No. 12 wire through it and fastened the 81 wire back of the horns for a head-stall. I It proved a perfect preventive." Of ^ course an ordinary bit with headstall would answer t'ao same purpose. ? CorrcKtif.iidc.rit. d English farmers are admonished by , The World of Science that the best ' means of destroying the larva of the r cockchafer, which is so injurious to the s roots of grass and wheat, is by deep plowing and encouraging the rooks to follow the plow and pick up the grubs. This is a seasonable hint for us to refrain from killing or interfering with the crow blackbirds or the crows, birds 0 which eagerly search for and devour all u . sorts of injurious grubs, and notwitli- c standing their sable color are not so ^ black as they arc painted. ], Practical KectpcM. ll Watering House Plants. ? " How ^ often should house plants be watered ?" is & question frequently asked by those " who have had little or no experience in : their culture. There certainly cannot be any particular rule given in regard * to time, for some species require more ^ water than others, and plants in large f pots will need it less frequently than ^ those in small ones. The temperature T of the room has also a powerful effect ? upon the evaporation of moisture; if j very warm, the plants will require more j1 than if it is cool. There are, however, J; two very essential things relating to house-culture of plants which should not ' be overlooked : First. Never apply 8 cold water from a cistern or well, but let 11 it be somewhere about the temperature ^ of the air in which the plants are grown. l' Very cold water is sure to check the j5 growth of the plants. Second. When ~ the plants are watered, give the soil in " the pots a good soaking, and then omit j*. watering again until the soil shows that it is needed. A little at a time, and very often, is too generally the practice J3 with the novice. Polish for Furniture.?One third of s spirits of wine, one third of vinegar and one third of sweet oil, or rather more of ^ the last. Shake the bottle well daily for ( three weeks; it is then fit for use, but j the longer it is kep1, the better it is. The furniture must be rubbed till the ^ polish is dry ; use every two or three months, and rub the furniture over daily ? when dusted. For dining-room tables s and sideboards use it every week; it . makes them beautifully bright. Car? of Cow*. g One of the members of the Hampden s Harvest Club stated that a storm would ii affect the flow of milk so as to make a 1 reduction of a quart from each cow per i day. The effect of cold in winter upon r the milk secretions is very perceptible, t If cows are turned out of a warm stable t and suddenly breathe the cold air, get 'J chilled, or take a draft of ice-cold ? water, it will reduce the flow of milk, 1 not only for that day, but for a longer p ?riod. The influence of drafts of cold penetrating through the stable, the standing or lying down in damp litter, ^ has the same effect. Too much care ; ^ cannot be (riven to the uniform comfort ^ of cows iu order that they may produce 1 <, the largest amount of milk. Gentleness j*" in their management, system in feeding i and milking, so as not to excite, and the ! j other attentions named, will more than ; repay for all the pains in the extra ( amount of milk the cow will furnish. ( It liriimnti?m in Hok>> t In answer to a correspondent, the 1 Prairie Parmer says : ' t Keep tiie hogs in a dry, warm, well- ' littered place, and feed soft food, such ' as cooked potatoes, mashes, &c. Give ] once u week a vomitive, such as the fol- 1 lowing, mixed and thrown dry on the ! f root of the hog's tongue : Ten grains ; i of the powdered rootof white hellebore, ! ( and ten grains of tartar emetic. The j back and loins should be rubbed twice j; daily, with a mixture of oil of turpen- . s. tine and spirits of camphor, equal parts, t If costive, give warm linseed tea. j ( i Jews in Palestine.?There are now ', about sixteen thousand Jews in Pales- : j a mil. ture is much below that of their fellow- ; religionists in Europe, fliey liave no visible means of support, spend their i time in idleness, praying, Talmud-reading, and foolish pining and sighing on the ruins of the temple, eking out a miserable existence by the charity of the Jewsof Europe, America and Australia." This extract is taken from a report of some English Israelites, who have lately been to Palestine to inquire into the expediency of encouraging the emigration of Jews into that laud. ?"?????- % Stringent.?Lafayette, Indiana, has ] a Sunday law excitement. A very stringent Act was passed by the Legislature, and the first Sunday night after it went into effect, the Mayor had ar- ' rested the city editor and five composi- 1 tors of a morning paper, a milkman, and twenty-four railway hands, and notified the sextons of the churches not to ring the bells, on pain of arrest. Retired from Public Life. Brigham Young has resigned his flice as Trustee of the Mormon Church, lying to the throng assembled in the 'abernacle at Salt Lake City that he as going to Arizona, beyond the reach f mails and telegrams. He had previusly ceased to be President of the teseret National Bank, the Zioii Coperative Mercantile Institution, and ie Utah Central and Southern Rail3ad; and in retiring from the control f the Church he completely severs all is public relations. It is also stated bat he has made a will dividing his roperty, wnich is popularly estimated t eight or ten millions, among his sixjen wives and sixty children. This relarkable man was born at Whittingam, Vt., on Jan. 1, 1801, and is now early seventy-two years old. He was onverted to Mormonism in 1832, two ears after the first organization of the Ihnroh. and beeamo one of the twelve Lpostles in 1835, in which capacity he ras exceedingly successful in making onverts,especially in the Eastern States, iter the death of Joseph Smith in 1811 e was chosen first President of the Ihurch, and led the great emigration to be Great Salt Lake in 1817. There he as since presided over the developlent of Mormonism, ruling h s f llowrs with a despotism to which the lajority have always been submissive, nd building up a simple, ignorant, ut energetic and industrious people, uto a community of extraordinary proserity. As long as Utah, by its georaphical position, was isolated from the est of the country his power remained ubstantially undiminished ; but since lie opening of the Pacific Railroad and lie great silver discoveries have brought pon the Mormons an immense inroad f gentiles, with a flood of hostilo ideas nd customs, his control lias become haken, and in his old age ho abandons conflict which he can no longer wage rith a hope of success. Were he a oung man, he would doubtless adhere o the idea of emigrating to some island f the Pacific, suali as Papua, which cmpted him so greatly fifteen or eightsen years ago. Then his plan was to ell out the Mormon possessions in Itah and to move his whole people to hat vast, uncivilized, and almost uninabited region in the Pacific, where hey might, for an indefinite period, efv the antagonism of the world. But e is old and broken, and will doubtless ie contented if he is able to spend the est of his days undisturbed alike by chisms in the Mormon Church and by rocess from the courts of the United itates. ?JSxch a ngc. A Cruel Hoax. The most scandalous hoax perpetrated n the first of April that has yet reached s, comes from New York. A boy made omplaint at the stution house that n urglar had attempted to get into his louse, and lind fired at the boy. The <oy returned the compliment and rounded the burglar, who escaped, &c. l squad of policemeu visited the house nd discovered a pistol-bullet hole in he headboard and a hole in the wall behind where the missile had lodged, .'his shot the boy said had been fired at iim. Under the skylight was a table overed with what appeared to be fresh flood, and there were traces of a thick ed fluid on the woodwork of the scutle. The skylight had apparently been orced from the outside and the staple lolding the catch-liook had been forciily drawn. Almost underneath the skyight, which was about eight feet from he floor, was a window looking into a ide yard. In the centre of one of the ipper panes of glass a bullet had cut a ircular jagged hole. On the wall unler the scuttle was blood also. In fact very indication existed to point to a lurglarious attempt, and to a gallant lefence on the part of the boy and the erious if not mortal wounding of the hief. The house was occupied by two woaen and two boys, and the fright of hree of these parties was great. It was earned by the police, after they had earclied the neighborhood in a drenchng rain storm for the burglar, that the rhole thing was an April fool hoax, set m foot by the boy, and mo6t ingeniffusy carried out. The stuff on the table md walls was the worst imitation of flood imaginable. It was a sort of freasy transparent paint, and betraved tome manufacture at a glance. The * ? * i ? it- - - ? Kylignt was iorcea irom me msiue, mc mpression of a stove-shaker near the atch being very apparent, and the latch taple had been hammered over the outide where it was clamped so as to renler it easy to draw. The bullet at the lead of the bed and the bullet picked ip under the window in the yard corresponded with each other and with hose in a box of Smith & Wesson's carridges, avowedly the boy's property. The boy acknowledged the whole thing, md the indignatiou of the police wus jeyond any attempt at description. Fell Among Thieves. Sergt. Green, of the London Detecive force, who was made famous by Charles Dickens as the smartest of the London detectives, came to the United states two weeks ago, with an extradiion warrant and other legal papers lecessary to bring Alf. Bidwell, the [iauk of England forger, from Havana, vhore he had been arrested. Sergt. ireen desired to see the sights in the ;itv, and of course the New York deectives agreed to show him around, mt to leave Ins jewelry bemna, as me hieves iu the eity were very smart.

At 5 he woke up n Union Square, and found that his extradition papers and warrants, his irivate memorandum-book, his watch ind chain, and a gold snuff-box, presented him by the London merchants or his brilliant detective genius, were ?one?stolen from liis pockets. Sergt. xreeu was astonished. He had been nvited to have a bottle of wine by a >erfect gentleman who wore large dinnonds, and asked the Sergeant to have i drive on the lane the following day.

At a wedding in Glen's Falls a short :ime since, among the bridal presents was a broom with these lines attached : Accept this from one who knows the art.

While I was at Lake Jessup, says a Florida correspondent,* I went alligator hunting with Judge Emmons of Jacksonville. We found a twelve foot alligator sleeping on top of the water about twenty feet from the shore, near a small gTOve of palmettos. The Judge put a rifle ball directly through the alligator's skull. The bail made a terrible hole. The 'gator was as dead as a mackerel. We slipped a rope around his shoulders and towed him ashore. While the monster lay in the water and we were debating as to how we would get his head off, I jabbed a stick through the bullet hole down into his brain. A colored man who was passing by said: " Boss, you done be careful with dat ah gaitnh. He no done gone dead yet. You better stick your knife in he fore paw to see et he dead. Ho done do you some mischief, Boss, suah, if he no dead." I took my knife out of its sheath and ran it into the alligator's fore i uw. The monster lashed the water with his tail, almost knocking -the Judge into the lake, and nearly putting out my eyes. When I recovered my* eyesight, I saw th? .Tn dee. but not the alii eater. The amimal had Bailed off, stick aud all, and left no track behind him. The largest alligator in the State of Florida can bo found near Pepper Hammock on Banana creek, at the head of Merritt's island. This animal is known all along the Indian river. Capt. Dummitt told me that this alligator is certainly over twenty feet long. Dummitt says that he has seen him in his present quarters, off and on, over twenty-five years. The captain thinks him at least 100 years old, and probably more. Over a dozen hunters have spent days in trying to kill him, but though some have got shots at him hone have been successful. His hide turns the bullets as a duck sheds rain. His hole is under a high bank and covered with a growth of moss and rushes. I camped four days at Pepper Hammock, and this alligator's roar kept me awake at night. It sounded like distant thunder. One morning Dr. Fox, my companion, ran a wounded deer into the shallow bay fronting the alligator's hole. A large yellow dog called Buster was on the trail of the deer, and ran into the water after him. When the alligator heard the baying of the dog he gave chase. The Doctor reached the bank and took in the situation. As he had wounded the deer, and was chasing it, and expecting it every moment to drop, his . rifle was not loaded. Ho began to shout loudly at the dog, and then ran into the water after the alligator.. The monster heard the Doctor coming, dropped the chase, and fled into his hole. The Doctor was much excited. He thought the world of the dog, and said that lie had almost rather have lost a leg than have lost Buster. If there is one thing in the world that "" n 11 i1/^troa mnro tlinil (HIT ntlier one tiling it is a dog. The bark of a dog will frequently bring a dozen alligators to the surface of the water. Hunters occasionally take their dogs on horseback while crossing the shallow water or very swampy places. When an alligator hears the baying of a hound he always puts for a ford, if there is one in the vicinity, hoping to catch the dog when he comes that way. Young colored children are also said to be rare dainties for alligators. The greatest alligator hole in Florida is on the ocean side of the Indian river, about twenty miles above Fort Capron. It is situated in a fresh water swamp, back of a dense growth of mangroves. This hole is about sixty feet wide at the mouth, but it extends a great distance under the ground, and appears to be a paradise for alligators. It is about a %nile from a little Pnlmetto hut, where a Georgian, named Estes, lias lived alone over fifteen years. Estes protects these alligators and will allow no one to shoot them. Some years ago the father of Capt. Watson of this place visited a marsh at the lower end of Ltfke Monroe to hunt stray hogs. The captain is a little man, with sharp, gray eyes, and quick of foot. While roaming about over the marsh and hallooing for the hogs he was suddenly seized by an enormous alligator and hurled in the mud. The alligator caught him by the leg and Stripped tile nesii 10 me uuuc. xuc uiu man was terribly wrenched, and for a long time his recovery was doubtful. It was six months before he left his bed. This is the only well authenticated case that came to my notice in which an alligator attacked a. man Some people think that while Watson was walking over the marsh he took the alligator for a log and jumped on him. It is certain that the animal seized Watson by the leg and nearly broke the old man's back by a blow from his tail. Alligators frequently fill their stomachs with ducks. Tliev find the spots in the marshes where the ducks huddle together at night and make a descent upon them. Frequently, while flocks of great fatrnft ducks are swimming in thedeepest part of the river or lake, an alligator will glide under the ducks and select those that suit him best. They are drawn under the water so quietly that the flock is not startled for some time, and the alligator manages to secure a square meal before he is suspected. On summer nights the alligator crawls to a chosen spot in the marshes. The air is filled with millions of mosquitoes. The monster opens his enormous mouth and keeps his jaws apart until the inside of his mouth is black with the insects. Then he brings his jaws together with a snap, runs his tongue about the inside of his mouth nii.l im-nllnwn Ills winced visitors. He will keep this up until his appetito is satiated. Laying Out a Half-Mile Track. Lay off two straight sides, GOO feet each (parallel), and 402 feet 4> inches apart, connected ut each end with a perfect semicircle (radius '22G feet 2 3-16 inches); place your fence exactly upon a line so formed (which is the inside of your track), and your track will measure exactly half a mile three feet from the fence ; the outside fence to be placed according to the width of the track desired. If not convenient to obtain an engineer to run the curves, it can be done in this manner : Place a center stake midway between the parallel straight sides at each end ; take a wire with a loop at the end, loose enough to turn upon the stake, and measure upon this wire 226 feet 2 3-16 inches (the radius of the curves), which, from the center stake, will exactly reach the ends of the straight lines; then describe your semicircle, beginning at the end of one straight side, putting down a stake every twelve feet, if that is the length of fence panels desired.?Turf, Field and Farm. . A man at North Adams, Mass., took hydrate of chloral enough to kill ten | men lately, for the purpose of counteracting the effects of -whiskey. It thoroughly cured him of intemperance. Custom may lead a man into many errors; but it justifies none. A Princely Gift. Professor Agassiz recently delivered an address to the Legislature of Massachusetts on the occasion of the visit by that bodv to the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Cambridge, and in the course of his remarks expressed his views regarding the establishment of a summer school for the instruction of school teachers in natural history. Ho also suggested the holding of the first session during the coming summer at Nantucket. The publication of the programme and details of this proposed movement-attracted the attention of Mr. John Anderson, of New York city, the wealthy tobacco merchant, who considered that the island of Penikese, which he owned, and which he had used as a private summer resort, would be admirably adapted to the purposes of the proposed School of Natural History. On the following day he deputed two gentlemen to proceed to Cambridge and to tender to Professor Agassiz the title to the island, with all its improvements and buildings, as a permanent location for the school. Of course, the generous gift was at once accepted, and Mr. Anderson has supplemented that act by the munificent pecuniary donation of $50,000 as the basis of an endowment fund for the institution, which permanently establishes it. The island of Penikese, which will | become the future domicile of the proposed institute, is one of the Elizabeth group of islands, situate at the entrance of Buzzard's Bay, on the southern coast of Massachusetts. It contains about one hundred acres, and presents advantages which peculiarly adapt it to the purposes contemplated by Professor Agassiz. Its situation in the ocean, within easy access of the mainland, secures privacy and freedom from intrusion, while its wondt rful fertility will enable the institution to maintain itself almost within its own domain. Mr. Anderson, since his purchase of the island some years ago, has expended large sums in buildings and improvements, and the commercial value of the whole property may be considered a little short of 3100,000. His endowment may therefore be considered as equivalent to $150,000. English Sports. An English paper called the Sportsman, gives the following description of an otter hunt, where the horrid torments inflicted on a poor animal appear to have given unmingled delight to some hundreds of beings, bearing the human form : Every minute increased his distress ; he could no longer keep under water, but swam up and down gasping anil gnashing his white fangs above the surface in the utmost fury of rage and despair. When overtaken or met by any of the hounds, he would, for a second, conceal himself beneath, but being unable to remain, he would again rise above, and bite and grapple with them with the deadly fierceness of a serpent. Twice in this manner he swam the length of the pool, followed by the whole pack baying at his tail, and hailed by the united thunder of some fifty gazers. At last, S , thinking it time to close the scene, in order to spare his dogs, advised everybody but himself to fall back from the lower shallow. The poor wretch soon discovered the deserted quarter, and made towards it. But before he could escape he had to clamber over the top of the net, which extended across the river at the point, sunk to the bottom by heavy loads, and attached to each of the banks. A moment afterwards, in making this endeavor, he was raised from the stream to writhe in death upon the barbed spear. There he hung wriggling and twisting, and his eyes flashing the red sparks of rage, until all the party had collected around him ; he was then cast into the midst of the hounds, upon whom having wreaked his vengeance by the inflictions of some heavy gashes, and, in return, having every bone within him ground and smashed almost into pulp, he, otter-like, without a cry, without a groan, returning wound for wound, and torture for torture, at length yielding his life, but not, however, till his enemies had paid for it at a most costly price." The English Sparrows. Nothinsr is more remarkable than the rapidity with which the English sparrow has multiplied since its introduction to this country. The city of New York is literally alive with them, and in many of our inland cities they seem to hare thriven quite as well as in New York. We have, therefore, at last, a pretty fair opportunity of judging of their value and of placing a just estimate upon the objections that have been made to them. Thus far our observation leads us to believe that the sparrow is not an insectivorous bird. In New York they feed chiefly upon grain which they find in the droppings of the horses. In Great Britain they are known as the most mischievous of grain destroyers; so far they bid fair to sustain the same character here. We have watched them by the hour, and killed and dissected numbers of them, and could never find that they fed on anything but vegetable matter. If, thererefore, they should multiply and spread through the rural districts to the same extent that they have done in the cities, they would prove very aesirucuve tu uur gituu fields. A few years ago the city of Paterson, X. J., and its neighborhood, abounded with bluebirds, orioles and wrens. A box put up in any yard or garden was sure to have a pair of bluebirds or wrens for its occupants. In an evil hour, however, a wealthy Irishman imported a quantity of sparrows, put up thatch covering on the end of the house for them, and did everything to make them comfortable. They took to their new quarters with great relish, multiplied until the city is alive with them, and now there is not a bluebird, wren or oriole to be seen ! Gardens, in which three or four bird boxes were always inhabited by as many pairs of bluebirds, are now deserted, and the worst of it is, we have not got rid of the- insects.? Exchange. Three Per Cents Caleed In.?The Comptroller of Currency of the United States notified the Secretary of the Treasury of the issue of $600,000 national hank notes during March, and the Secretary has called in the balance of the three per cent, certificates remaining unpaid, which will finally complete the retirement of the whole of $15,000,000 of three per refits as provided in the act of July 12, 1870, which authorizes the issue of $51,000,000 of national bank notes. Sewino Machine Statistics.? In 1872, there' were sold 851,736 sewing machines of 21 different patterns and manufacture. It is said that the profit accruing to the manufacturers on the sales were over thirty-seven million of dollars. Can industry stand such taxes ? In the Dark. As a great luxury, the ancients, wl knew no method of refining theoil whi< burned to give them light, mixed it wil perfumes, such as essence of roses nr sandal wood ; but this rather detract* from, than added to the burning pro erties of the liquid, and all that was o tained by the process was an increase < fragrance and diminution of light.

There is intense excitement in Milwaukee, as -well as among the inmates j of the Soldiers' Home, in regard to the tragic death of Gen. John Woolley, formerly in charge of the Milwaukee P" branch of the National Asylum for DisI abled Soldiers, and the persecution to which he was subjected previous to his ie decease. Gen. Woolley was esteemed as j a generous, chivalrous and noble-heart- < ,8> ed gentleman and soldier, and public ' in opinion censures severely officers of the 1 P" Asylum Board, as well as certain parties i ie in the Asylum, for the share they had J r' at the efforts to humiliate and degrade ^ the lamented soldier, whose loss is so sin- i ' " cerely mourned. I . Gen. Woolley was a native of Dutchess Co., N. Y., and enlisting in an Ohio . regiment as a private was promoted rapidly to colonel and brevet brigadier < ." generiu. He was in command of the 1 National Asylum at Milwaukee, but was ! ordered to Hampton, only to find the order countermanded and he relieved * from duty, as charges of dishonesty had 1 been preferred against him. He felt Jn himself seriously hurt by the manner ' in which he was treated, but returned *P at once to Milwaukee that the charges ?' against him might be investigated. He found his family turned out of doors ?" from their quarters at the Asylum, and 10 went to a hotel nearly broken hearted. lC" The night before his death a disabled soldier desired lodging at his hotel. The proprietor distrusted his statement, ly As he turned to leave and was passing of dowu the stairs of the main entrance Id be met Gen. Woolley coming up and ve addressed him. The General rememn hered him. listened to his storv. took Qg from his pocket one dollar in fractional a8 currency?the laat and only dollar he irt possessed in the world?and gave one-half on of it to his old comrade-in-arms. Onehe half of the remainder was used to purse chase an ounce of chloroform, which he *r- took, causing his death, and twenty-five re, cents yet unexpended was found in his a ; pocket after death. on to jld A.

Inny digestion of this obstinate character may be incur~>.C~ able by his prescriptions, but it Is not therefore an irremovable fixture in the system. The fact Is that the great vegetable lnvigorant and corrective, ihe Hosteller's Stomach Bitters, is radically curing ien cfcscs of this seemingly desperate nature every day. Indeed It la in those malignant phases of ' ' dyspepsia which no ordinary medicine can control that its remedial properties are most wonderfully by manifested. We say to the long-suffering martyr, ?L- whose stomach is a source of perpetual torment to him, that by the persistent an J daily use of this on. glorious tonic, he can not only restore the digestive organs to their full vigor, but can keep them . in good working order through life. If there is constipation, the gentle aperient operation of the -Bitters will remove all obstructions and keep the '?8* bowels in a regular and healthy condition.
