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

this price the f artners of that section

A IIFI:V.--lBeef ia better for food for
working people thtan it hs for those
of sedentary habits. Beef is tmostly
miiuscle, mutscle is ittrogenouis,
and nitrogen, when done with,
Ia cast out through the kidnieys.
TUhe kidneys aire never so active ini se
dentatry peopwle as in mnantual laborers,
especihlly those t hat work with thieir
muscles continuaotusly. People of'quiet
habits should hardly ever eat of beef
msore than onice a dtay at. most. Rating
* more, they are liable to inecur trouible

* ~ Otus matters in the system. Somethines
the appetite will point out the course
for Individuals to pursuae. It gene
rally will, i' it Is not betrayed by
too many conidimients. Laborers are
more likely to reizulaute themselves in
* this matter.

Young pigs should be ptushed now if

CHiOICE GRASSES FOR DECORATIN.
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.

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

Doctor rejolned, "I know wihat you

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.
