WALNUTS.

1t has been ascertained that the shay
bark walnut may be successfully engraf-
ted, and that the engrafted trees are
much the surest bearers. 1t is probable
that the hickory, or shag bark, would do
we'll engrafted on the pig nut. If it
should, the quantity raised might be
greatly increased and the quality much
improved. The Madeira nut, which is
usually sold at the shops under the name
of the English walnut, at twelve and a
half to sixteen cents per pound, may be
cultivated here without difficulty, and is
very productive. In the vicinity of New
York there is tree which has produced
in single year as many as sold in the
market for 5000. We have no doubt
that it might be engrafted on the butter
nut tree or the walnut with perfect sue

Farm Barns and Stables.

Barns should be so placed as 10 make
them warm and comfortable for cattle.
They should have southern, or an east
ern aspect, and cellar should extend
under the whole building for this room
is the best in the whole barn, and it is
made at less cost than any other room
that can be made in the building. A
farmer who has rocks handy, can dig
and stone a cellar with labor that is less
costly than that Of carpenters.
Barn cellars are warmer in winter and
cooler in summer than the upper parts
of the building. Roots for stock can
be kept here and fed out with great
saving of labor compared with storing
in the cellar of the dwelling house.
And barns may be SO finished that hay
may be stored conveniently below the
barn floor. This is exceedingly conve-
nient when you are in hurry-and
you always are in the afternoon in hay
time. For one man may cart home a
load and throw it off while others are
left in the field to gather the hay. When
all hands are at home the hay may be
levelled down. Rainy weather an
swers for this business.
Barns should always be set on the
same side of the road with the house.
Yet we find many farmers placing barns
and out-building on the south side of the
road, and directly opposite TO the dwell
ing-house. This cuts off the most pleas
ant prospect that is usually to be had
from the south side, or end of the house.
1t compels you to cross the road many
times in day to see your cattle and
feed them, and it exposes you to all the
effluvia that is generated in the dung
heaps in hot weather-for in hot weather
the winds are southerly.
would place my barn, hog pen, and
so forth, on the easterly, or northerly
side of the house, rather than westerly,
because the east winds are less preva,
lent than the west; and when they dc
prevail, they are never so charged with
putrid matter as west winds that have
blown over heaps of manure.
Farm buildings thus arranged may be
set quite near together, without offence
10 the nasal organs. Many steps are
saved in winter by setting the barr
and the hog pen near the dwelling-house
and you can SO arrange them, in mos
cases, as to be able to run to the stool
to be fed, under the lee of the buildings
and free from the northwest winds.
In winter the hogs should be unde
: the barn, both for their own comfort an,
yours. They will live warm there, an,
you can carry them food when you g
to feed the cattle. In summer troug
may conduct the wash of the dairy d
rectly to the pen, and save you the labo
, of carrying it by hand.-.Naine Cultiua

6 TIGHT UP.U

When the fine steamer Missouri came
to our landing last Saturday, says the ST.
Louis Revile, with the Illinois troops, the
officers permitted her to touch only at the
bow, alongside of another boat, and here
several sentries were stationed, with
guns and short swords, to keep the re-
crui,s from going on shore. One poor
fellow observed on the adjoining boat a
brother-in-law and two cousins, and he
without hesitation-his kindred heart
bounding with the desire to embrace
them-made vigorous rush for the side
boat, but was instantly thrown back by
the guard.
Well, but look here" said he, "there
is my brother-in-law, and Sam and Bill
Jennings, my cousins, Pm sartin goin' 10
speak to 'em y and he stretched out his
arm towards them.
"Stand back" said the sentry, me-
nacing him with short sword-"stand
back, or I'll persuade with this instru-
ment."
"Well, l amt no niger E' exclaims
the volunteers.
"No, you're sogsr," says the guard,
sand he has as much use for relations
as duck has for three legs ; SO stand
back, will you? ,"
The enthusiastic volunteer stretched
out his arms despairingly TO his relations
and hallooed out : Consider your hanc
shuck, boys, for can't git to you-da,
durn 'em, they've got us into sarvict
now and we're mighty tight up, tel

CHEAP ROOFS FOR OUT
BUILDINGS.

1t is frequently necessary to construct
out buildings, sheds, &C., of cheap
character for temporary use, but which
are, nevertheless, required TO be well pro-
tected from the weather. The follow
ing simple and expeditions method of
roofing out houses and other similar
structures, may, therefore, be of service
to some Of our readers. The rafters
are to be four inches deep and two and a
half thick; the covering to be of boards
Sd of an inch, straight edged, and Sc
curely nailed to prevent varying. Over
this place course of common sheath
ing paper, such as is ordinarily used un-
der the copper sheathing of vessels, and
make it fast by small nails. Then ap-

LOOK OUT FOR MICE.

Young apple trees are liable to be
gnawed and girdled by mice at this sea-
son of the year. Trees that are sur
rounded with grass, or any kind of lit
ter which can be made into nests by the
mice, are in greater danger than such as
have nothing but earth around their
trunks. 1t is therefore advisable to re-
move all such litter before snow comes.
But now that the ground is covered,
the right course is to beat the snow down
close around each tree to prevent the
making of nests there. Should this
snow, which now, (Dec. l4th0 covers
the ground, disappear before January,
and be followed by another storm, it may
be necessary to perform another revolu-
ton around your trees, and teach your
mice that apple trees are forbidden food
and not to be eaten in peace. AS jan
uary advances there is but little danger
from mice that have already made no
nests there, for they usually seek out per-
manent winter quarters before January.
We have seen thrifty young trees en-
tirely ruined by mice, that stripped off
all the bark from the trunks to the height
of two feet. A townsman of our own,
a few years since,-one of the few far
mers in birmingham, who do not sub.
scribe for the Ploughman,-lost num-
Der Of very handsome apple trees that
stood by his wall "where mice do con-
gregate."
We think there are twenty trees that
were stripped to the height of two feet.
If he had seen our warning, which we
gave early in the same winter, he might
have saved, in half an hour, forty dol
lars worth of trees.
But he had no near neighbor to lend
him the Ploughman or to warn him Of
his danger, and he was too prudent to
keep cat, for cats must be fed in the
winter when rats and mice are not to be
found.
BY the way, sensible farmers always
keep one or two cats. We should be
overrun with rats and mice were we de.
prived of the services of this useful an
tinel. The practice of laying poisonous
substances to destroy rats in house i!
a very foul one. If you succeed in kill
ing one, your comfort is to keep deac
rat in by place, instead of live one
and your house is haunted with the seen
of carrion for weeks in succession.
There is no economy in living with
out cats. They will squall and be in tn,
way, oft times, SO will children, and 9th
or necessaries of a family; but you can
not live comfortably without cat. Far
mers who keep good cats are not in an
great danger from mice around tree
near the dwelling-house. Distant tree
are the ones that require particular al
tention at this season. Maltese cats al
holder hunters than any that are kept

in. These ingredients should be well
boiled and thoroughly Incorporated and
applied when hot. Care should be taxi
en- that the composition be spread as
evenly as possible, and covered before
| it has cooled with stratum of sharp,
finely sfted sand. On this another coat
of far is to be spread, and another OF
sand as before, after which nothing more
is required to secure the possession OF a
tight roof for years, except an occasion
al dressing of tar. Some may object to
this species of roofing from the suppo-
sition that being composed mostly Of
highly dehagrable materials, it would
prove too combustible. But this, if it
be reasonable objection, may be easily
obviated by giving the whole coat COM
posed of the following materials
Stake common stone lime in close
vessel, and when cool, pass eight quarts
through fine sieve; add to it one quart
of fine salt and two gallons of pure wa
ter. Boil and skim. Then, TO every
four gallons of this mixture add one
and a quarter pounds of rock alum, three
fourths of pound of copperas, half a
pound of potash, and five quarts of fine
beach sand. This wash will now admit
any coloring matter that may be desired,
and may be applied with paint brush
in the same manner as oil paints. A
writer remarkng upon the good quail
ties of this preparation for roofs, says;
at looks better than paint, will stop leaks
in the roof, prevent moss from growing,
and, when laid upon brick-work, will
render it impenetrablc to rain or moist
ure." A wash of this kind might bene-
ficially be applied to the roofs of houses,
barns, and other buildings, instead of
paints.---.Naine Farmer.

to accompany him TO meeting. 1t hap
pened to be silent one. When he left
the Westinghouse with his young friend,
he asked him: "How didst thou like

piled, "Like it why l can see no sense
