AGRIOULTURl. PURCHASING AND PLANTING TRECRs. There is a difference of opinion among apple growers as to the best season of the year for planting trees. Some pre fer the Fall, others the Spring, * If the soil is warm and the site a favorable one, trees planted in the Fall general ly do well. I have found it more con venient and advantageous to purchase the tiees in the Fall and plant them In the Spring. If this method Is adopted, seleet an elevated piece of ground In the garden or elRewhero, that is dry, and where the trees will be secure from destruction by mice or stock, As soon as the trees are received, with a sharp knife out off all diseased and broken roots, cutting them sloping on the un. der side, and bury the trees in treh os, dug suffliently deep to allow the roots to be below the action of the frost. By Spring the cut roots will be healed over and ready for throwing out new tibres immeuiately atter planting. When trees are thus purchased and kept, they may be set out in the Spring betore the rush of work comes on. A very impo tant advantage gained by purchasin" the trees in the Fall and ourying them, Is that they may be tak en iroin the trenches a few at a time and set out without injury to the roots. Trees put chased Ii tie 14 all should not be dug from the nursery rows until the roots have gone to ist, which is usually about the last of October. Roo-. grafted trees are preferable to top grad ted; they pre iore eatily formett Into low, round heads, and are frequently better growers. When beletlAg trees rcJeet all that are not stocky with branches iear tile ground, also,all that have grown in foras. TIE PoA'I.-It is supposed that the potato is Indigenous, and confined to no particular part of the world. Mr. Darwin, for instance, found it wild in the Chonos archipelago. W. J. Hook er says titat it Is common it Valpitral so, wheremit grows abundantly on the sandy hills near the sea. In I'cru and various other par ts of 6otuth America it appears to be at, home. It is a well known lact that it was to the colonists whom Sir Walter Releigh sent out, in Queen ElIzabeth's reign, that we aire inidebted Ior our potatoes. hlerrist,who went otit witti these colonists, and who wrote an account of his travels, inmkes what may, perhaps, be regardedt as the earliest mention of the vegetable. Un. der the huiding of "roots,'' lie men tions what, he Calls the "openiawk." "These roots," lie says, "are rotid, some large as walniuts, others mutch larger they grow on dainap soils, maly hanging together as If fixed onl ropes; they ure good food, either bollou or sonsted.'' In early times the potato was considered by inaimy to be poisoti otis and unhealthy, Ilaid was avoided as tan article of iet, partletularly by the very poor. There are now 22 starch factories in fuhll blast, in A ruostook contil.y. Me. Each one of tiso lactories re(iuIlres from 1,600 to 2000 bushels of potatoes a day, and as Iley intend to run 0 days ilais bentsoni, the total tlatiantity of Potw toes used will reach about 3,000,0)0 bushels. The facetories hanve been paty Ing 20 cents at busel for the potatoes, tit uinusally low ligure, btt even at this price the f artners of that section wouild receive a reveneti of $600,00U Iron this o(i source. ,onle have lields of 4tdhcres devoted exelisively to pio tatoes, and the crop hats been known to yield as high as 4U0 busihels tO the aere. The factories take both large tiut small, btt the larmers lant the large .variety pr'incipailly, iand potattoes weighing one potund and1( three- quar ters are trcquienuyi seen in the bins.

A bouquet or vase of properly dried and tastefully arranged grasses of the more graceful sorts, is a very pleasing decoration for the parlor in winter. The beauty of a grass depends largely upon the delicacy of its flower clusters and theirgraceful and orderly arrange ment In the panicle or "head," as a type of beauty among the larger grasses, a long feathery plume of the pampas Grass m ey be chosen, and it Is indeed a very pleasing object when preserved of its original shape and color. We nust hee enter a protest against the violation of nature by dy lug the plumes of grasses any color whatever. They, to our taste, cannot be improved upon by being colored a deep crimson and natural green un pleasant black, or any other color. Grasses for their greatest beauty should be gathered julst as they are fully in flower, and hung up or spread, out to dry In a place that is free from dust. If a grass is gathered after it Is be giniing to mature its seed, the floral parts will become brittle and soon fall to pieces, and fall to be rho objects of what they would be If gathered when just at the opening of ithe flowers. There are a number of nabive grasses that are worthy of a place In such a collection. In general, It may be said that any grass that is attractive for its delicacy, grace, and color while grow lug in the field, will not be disap pointing when it is tastefully arranged in the house. imi ix 'rnix TEA KE'T'rL.-Every good housewife knows that all Ironi kettle used for heating waiter that holds lime in solution, will in a short time become coated with that substance. Tils being a poor conductor of heat, it will of couise take a longer time to heat the water than when the kettle is new. Copper or tin vessels do not be come coated with limie. The reason is that Iron has an affinity for limne.whlch the other metals have not. But thuis aflinity can be overcome by coating the inner surface of the vessel with a compound of tannie acid and Iron, which Is soluble in water and will not preeipitate lime. This is easily done. Take a new ten kettle and put a hand ful of oak bark into it, 1111 with water, an i keep it boiling for three or four hours, filling it up from tine to tiie as tie water bolls away. Time iron will get, a jet blac. coat of tannite of I ron and will be proof against linme. Care mist be taken that the kettle does not boli dry and become heated to redness. A heat a little below thiiat point will destroy tie conting. It tihe in cank be fully removed from nti old tea kettle, it can be coated inI the same miianiidr' as a niew one, but will require a longer time, and perhaps it will re qihe a lomger time, ntid perhaps it will be necessary to repeat trie boiling two or i re timnes.

HUMOROUS. A NICK-L.OOKING young man with kid gloves and broad cloth stepped Inte the St. Louis Dispensary the other day and asked to be treated gratis for an affection of the oar. "Are you a pau per?" asked the doctor. "Pauper II indignantly exclaimed the sleek visi tor, "do I look like a pauper?" The doctor replunded him that the law pro. vided only for treatment of paupers at the dispensary. The visitor answered: "I don't want you to insinuate that I atn a pauper." "I will state further for your information," saki the Doo tor, "that the law positively prohibits us treating any "pauper" who wears a kid glove." "Well,you know what you can do 9' answered kid glovey. The Doctor rejolned, "I know wihat you can do,' and JumpeAd up, but the deadhead was too qu ick for him, and skipped out just in time not to be kick ed out. AN honest Galveston shoemaker was strolling down the avenute,when,peer ing into a restaurant, what should lie see but one of his fashionable cus tomers seated at a table covered with all the delcacies of the season, includ ing a large bottle of gi eon seal and two canvas-back ducks. Rushing In, the irate Galveston tradesman exclaimed, "You haven't got money to pay me for the boots you have got oil. but you can afford to pay for all nianner of delica cies.'' The young ian wiped 1113 moustache, and looking around to see that he was not overheard, responded In a whisper, "Don't be deceived by appearances. You must not lose cond dence in me. I don't expect to pay for this little banquet any more than I expect to pay you for the boots." Tue Judge came down to Gincinnatt one day, and the next morning early he Iwent Into the librarian's room at the Court House. iHe saw a little red headed man in his shirt-sleeves sweep ing and dusting about, and, going up to him, asken him when the libarian would be in. "At 9 o'clock, sir," was the answer. So some time after 9 the Judge came in agin. aid seeing the same little red- headed man, went up to him and asked if the librarian was in then.

Protection from Lightinng.-A knight of the olden time in full armor was probably as safe from the effets of a thunder-storm as if he had a lightning rod continually beside him: and one of the Roman emperors devised a perfect ly secure retreat in a thunder-storm in the form of a subterranean vault of iron. Ie was probably led to this by thinking of a mode to koep out missiles, having no notion that a thin shell of aift copper would have been quite as effective as massive Iron. But those emperors who, as Suetonius tells us, wore laurel crowns or seal-skiui robes, or descended into underground caves or cellars on the appearance of a thun der-storm, were not protected at all. Even in France where special attentiou is paid to the protection of buildings from lightning, dangerous accidents have occured where all proper precau tions seemed to have been taken But on more careful examination it was usually found that some one essential element was wanting. The most coi mon danger seems to lie in fancying that a lightning-rod is necessarily properly connected with the Garth if it drops into a mass of water. Far from it. A well-constructed reservoir full of water Is not a gooIl "earth'" for a lightning-rod. The better the stone work and the cement the less are they fitted for this special purpope, and great mischief has been done by for getting this. Dolny Vardein.
