How Cattle kill Trees.

1t is a noticeable fact that tree ever so
thrifty and of whatever kind, 10 which cat
tie gain access and under which they be.
come accustomed to stand, will very soon
die. In the case of solitary shade tree
in the pasture or by the roadside, this is a
very common occurrence. The query may
have been suggested Ito what is this ow-
ing! In the first place, rubbing tree by
the necks of cattle is highly pernlcious, land
if persisted in, will probably destroy them
sooner or later; but if the body of the tree
be cased so that their necks cannot touch
it, death will ensue just as certainly if they
are allowed to tramp the earth about it
But why should tramping the earth destroy
the tree? The reason is one of wide and
important application to the laws of veget-
able growth. The roots of plants need air,
if not as much, yet just as truly, as the
leaves and branches. Their case is anala-
gous to that of fishes, which, though they
must have water, must have air also viz,
Just about as much as permeates the water.
If it be all shut off so that none which is
fresh can get to them, they will exhaust
the supply OH hand, and then die for want
of more.
So the roots oftrees and vegetables want
air. When the earth is in a normal or nat
raj condition it is full of interstices, and
channels by which the air gets to them
But if the cattle are allowed to trample
down the earth, and the sun aids their
work by baking it at the same time, crust
like brick is formed, wholly impervious
to the atmosphere and the tree yields to its
fate. So a tree cannot live if lis roots are
covered with a close pavement. They will
struggle for life by creeping to the surface
and hosting out brick here and stone
there, or find crack where their noses car
snuff little breath; but if fought dowr
and covered over will finally give it up. Sc
if tree be thrust into close clay, or its
roots are kept under water, it refuses to be
an aquatic or to put up with its alluminout
prison. 1t will grow as little as possible
and die the first opportunity.-Prairie Far

Religious Maniac.

The Chicago Tribune gives the sub
Joined account of female imposter or ma
MAC, who is figuring in Illinois
There is a woman residing in Hancock
county, Illinois, who claims to be inspired.
She is a native Of Vermont, and has lived
thirty years near Cincinnati. 1t is said
that she had no education whatever, but
was taught to read and write by the spirit
of God, and received at the same time a
command to prophecy and write book for
the instruction of mankind. Obedient to
these heavenly teachings, she addressed
herself to the task thus miraculously as
signed her. For four weeks, she wrote in
cessantly, day and night, without food or
sleep, at the end of which time the holy
influence was withdrawn, with the promise,
however, that it would again be commune
Gated to her at some future time. Three
years afterwards the promise was fulfilled,
and Mrs. Celia Spaulding, (such is her
nancy has recently gone to Cincinnati to
superintend the publication Of her work,
written under such auspices 1t is to be of
quarto size, and will contain five hundred
pages. She styles it GA Memoir and
Prophecy, written by the inspiration of the
Holy Spirit Of God, under the character of
Shiloh, or the weary sufferer who is to
bring the true light of the hidden gospel
to fallen man." She also comes under
the light of fallen woman, clothed with the
sun, and pointing out the Seven Churches
of John, &c, Rev. Cd and Sd chapters"
Mrs. Spaulding is SIS years of age, is
well informed on general topics, converses
fuently and eloquently on every subject but
that of prophecy. Whenthat is mentioned
she at once becomes wild and ncoherent.

Flag Cotton in England.

The editor of the Tribune, in letter
from London, after referring to the discovery
of Mr.. Claussen, by which the flax fibre
can be so dissolved through chemical agents
that it looses its coarseness and hardness,
and becomes as soft and fine as the best
cotton, gives Mr., Claussen's estimate of the
probable cost of the new material:
" He says the flax straw, or the ripe, dry
plant, as it comes from the field with the
seed taken off, may be grown even in Eng
land for $40 per ton, but he will concede
Its cost Tor the present to be SIS per ton,
delivered, as it is necessary that liberal in
ducements shall be given for its extensive
cultivation. Six tons of the straw or fax
in the bundle will yield one ton of dressed
and clean fibre, the cost of dressing which
by his methods, so as to make it flax cotton
is $35 per ton. The total cost of the fax
cotton, therefore, will be 1925 per ton, or
six cents per pound, while flax, as it comes
from the field, is worth $l5 per ton should
this come down to $40 per ton, the cost of
the fibre will be reduced to sos per ton, or
less than five cents per pound. At that
rate, good 'ield-hands' must be rather slow
of sale for cotton planting at 81 400 each,
or even $780,"
M, Clausen's process, it is said, requires
but three hours for its completion. 1t takes
the fax as it came from the field, only
somewhat dryer, and with the seed beaten
off, and renders it thoroughly fit for break.
ing, The plant is allowed to ripen before
it is harvested, SO the seed is all saved while
the tediousness and injury to the fibre, not
to speak of the unwholsomeness of the old
fashioned rotting process, are entirely OBJ
yiated Where warmth is desirable in the
fabrics contemplated, the staple is made 10
resemble wool quite closely. Specimens
dyed red, blue, yellow, &c. are exhibited,
to show how readily and satisfactorily the
Aax-cotton takes any color that may be de-
sired. Beside these. lie rolls of hannels,
lettings, and almost every variety of plain
textures, fabricated wholly or in good part
from flax as prepared for Spinning under
M. Claussen's patent, proving the adapta-
ton of this fibre to almost every use SUBJ
served by either cotton or wool. The mix
lures of hax-cotton and wool are excellent
and serviceable fabrics.
