Currant Bushes.

Having, noticed that currant b, shes

seen it done.
In the spring of 1891 my father COM

things, set cuttings for currant bushes.
determined to make an experiment on
one of these cuttings; and as soon as it
grew, pinched off all The leaves except
The top tuft, which let grow, The cut
ting was about fourteen inches high and
during the summer, the sprout from the
top of this grew perhaps ten inches. The
next spring | pinched off all the leaves

branched well, and became nice little
dwarf tree. When il came TO bear fruit,
il was more productive than any other
bush in the garden, and the fruit larger,
it was less infected with spiders and
insects; hens could not pick off The fruit,
and grass and weeds are more easily kept
iiom ahsai-i:ie roofs, and it was an or
nament instead of a blemish. Now,
would propose that currant cuttings be
set in rows five feet apart each way, lei
them be long and straight ones, and
trained into trees.-Michigan Farmer.

VARIETY.
REmEMBRANCEs.

Oft at the hour when evening throws
It's gathering shade DER vale'and hill,
While half the scene IN twilight glowS,
And half in sunlight glorics still,
The thought of all that we have been,
And hoped and feared on LIES long way,
Remembrance of Joy and pain,
Come mingling with the close of,Gay.
The distant scene of Youths bright dream,
The smiling green, the lnstring tree.
The murmur of the grass-fringcd stream,
The bounding Of the torrent free;
The friend, whose tender voice no more
Shall sweetly thrill the listening ear,
The glow that Loves first vision wore,
And Disappointment pangs are here.
But soft DER each reviving scene
The Christening hues of Memory spread;
And smiling. each dark thought between,
Hope softens every tear we shed.
o, thus, when Deaths long night comes on,
And its dark shades around me lie,
May parting beams from Memory's sun
Blend softly in my evening sky.

A Palace Of Ice.

1.-The ice palace which the Empress
Anna caused to be built on the Bank OF
the Neva, in l740, was constructed of
huge quadrats of ice hewn in the man
ner Of free stone. 1t was fifty two feet
long, sixteen broad, and twenty high
The walls were three feet thick. In
the apartments were tables, chairs, beds,
and all kinds of household furniture of
ice. In front of the palace, besides
pyramids and statutes, stood six cannons
carrying balls of six pound weight, and
two mortars of ice. From one of the
former, as trial, an iron ball, with
only quarter of pound of powder,
was fred off. The ball went through a
two inch board at sixty PAGES from the
cannon's mouth, and the piece of ice
artillery, with its carriage, remained un.
injured by the explosion, The illumi-
nation of the ice palace by night had an
astonishingIy grand effect. '--Iooke'S

Hlisrcllaneous ADVERTISEMENTS.
TO the Farmers Of Iowa.
McCOrmick's Reaper.

I"HE subscriber, as the authorized
Il agent of G. H. Mccormick. for
the sale of his justly celebrated Patent
Virginia Reaper, is now in the southern
portion of Iowa, and will visit the coun.
ties of Lee, Desmoines, Henry, Jeffer-
son, Wapello, Van Bnren. Davis. &c.
With the late valuable improvements,
| this is PROFESSIONALLY the best, if not
the only Reaping Machine in this sec.
ton of the country. Mr.. Mccormick
was the first 10 introduce successfully
the cutting Of grain by horse power,
and from his great experience (having
sold in the West thousands) it would be
strange if he had not the best Machine
now in use. have with me testimoni-
ais Of the great value and extensive use
o. this machine to the Western Farmers
in saving their crops. Throughout ILL.
nois where great efforts have been made
to introduce other machines, McCor-
mick, as the writer fully believes, has
sold and is selling fifty to one. over any
machine. An extensive system Of in
fringement and imposition upon the pub
lie has been practiced in the West by
the sale of his Reapers altered somewhat,
mot TO improve) but to evade his patent.
Suits are commenced against the parties,
and many are the overtures for a COM
promise offered by them, but rejected
by Mr.. Mccormick upon the ground
that right stolen from him is not a fiji
subject for compromise, and can only
be remedied by a full restoration. Sey-
mour a. Morgan, of Brockport, New
York. who served three years under Mr..
Mccormick, and learned what they
know Of him, are the largest operators
in the line of Infringement upon his
Patent. They are enjoined. l have
the papers with me to show how the
whole matter stands, with copies of the
Injunction which will leave at all the
prominent points in the district named,
when it is understood that all persons
using Machine illegally made or sold,
in violation of the rights of the Paten-.
tee, are equally as liable as the manu-
facturer, or seller, and can be sued and
made TO pay damages to the Patentee,
and can be prevented by Injunction
from using such machine, i, will be per
ceived that the system OF operations
above alluded to, is not only fraud up
on the Patentee, but is gross fraud up
on those TO whom machines thus made
are sold. Farmers wishing machines,
by leaving their address at the post office
at the county seat of their county, direc-
ted to me, will ensure call. Orders
can also be addressed to Chillehden &
McGavic, Keokuk; j. L. Montandon.
Fort Madison; Foote & Co., Burlington.
TO ensure machine this harvest, il
would be well to forward orders early.
The Machines are warranted TO perform
well, or they can be returned.
