Trees..CIimate.

It is a common observation, that oul
summers are becoming dryer, and stream:
smaller. Take the Cuyahoga as an Illus
tration. Fifty years ago, large barges
loaded with goods went up and down tina
river; and one of the vessels engaged il
s'the battle of Lake Erie" when Perry .'met
the enemy, ..nd they were ours" was buill
at Old Portage, six miles north Of Albion
and floated down to the lake, Now, in al
ordinary stage ofwater. canoe or skiff can
hardly pass down that stream, Many q
boat of fifty tons burden, has been built
and loaded on the Tuscarawas, at New
Portage, and sailed to New Orleans, with
out breaking bulk. Now, that river hard
ly affords, a supply Of water at New Por-
tage for the Canal. The same may be
said of our other streams. They are grow
ing smaller and beautifully less. Our sum
mers are growing dryer, and our winters
colder.
The cause of this is the destruction of our
forests. In the woods We find springs and
streams of water, that indicate permanent
supply-clear off the woods and they dry
up. 800
To show how this operates, let us sup
pose an electric cloud passing over dry,
and level desert. So long as 1t meets no
obstructing object, it remains suspended.
If, however, it meets cloud in an opposite
state of electricity, rain, hail and tornado
is the consequence. This illustrates the
principle. Instead of meeting a cloud in
an opposite state of electricity, suppose it
meet forest of trees sufficiently elevated
to reach the cloud, the trees, being good
conductors, act, in a less degree to be sure,
but in the same manner. as an opposing
cloud, IN drawing the electricity
from the cloud to the earth. disturbing the
vaporous particles of the cloud, which are
mingled together, and become drops of
rain, which fall to the earth in showers.
This is the cause of the perpetual want
of rain in portions of Egypt and South
America. They are always in the vicinity
of high mountains, covered with forests,
which take the rain from the clouds, form
ing those mighty rivers chat flow from the
mountains ofupper Egypt and South Amer
lea. -,s- ..r---zv
If the destruction of our forests goes on,
and none are set out to supply their place,
we shall feel more and more the effects in
the droght of our summers, the dimunition
of our streams, and colduess ofour winters.

How TO GET Fruit TREES RIGHT.-In
the Fall, October or November, take a
branch of an apple or pair tree, such as
suits your taste, take off down 10 the third
years growth, cut it smooth and rub it on
a red-hot iron Sc as TO scorch and shut the
pours of the wood thoroughly; then bury
in the ground all but the last years growth.
If placed in good ground, and well taken
care Of, You will have fruit in five or six
years. | have sometimes dipped the low
er end in melted rosin, but think burning
preferable. | have tree near my door
that is nine feet high, and well proportion
ed. that | took from Il graft four years ago;
to this rosin was applied and whatever
sprouts up the next summer were bent down
and became roots. We can get fruit con-
siderably quicker this way than from seeds,
and we know what we have growing, and
when grown the whole tree is of the same
kind, and whatever sprouts come from the
roots in after years can be transplanted
without grating. In case of drought the
first year, they should be watered.-New
England Farmer.

APPLE TREES ALONG THE ROAD
While in Prussia it is common to plant ap-
pie trees by the roadside, to ecenomize
land, and adorn the spot, it is, in this eoun-
try, necessary often to surround our orchards
even with high fences, to secure fruit from
pilferers. Prof. Stowe once asked man
in germany, why some trees, loaded with
fruit, had a wisp of straw tied about them.
The reply was, that those trees bore fruit
of peculiar fine quality, and that the wisp
of straw was tied about them todenote that
the owner wished the fruit untouched.-
"And does no one pluck that fruit ?" asked
the astonished professor. 81 am afraid
that in my country" added the professor,
'sueh a signal would only invite all the
thieves, big and little, to strip all the ap-
pies off,
We don't know but Prof S. was right !;
but we hope that few years hence, such a
remark would be slander on cur national
character Ohio Farmer.

Rice Culture i'm Ohio.

We do not know that any one has ever
tried cultivating rice in Ohio; but we be
Geve ii might be made profitable crop
The wildrice, it well known, is native of
the swamp lands between the waters run
ming into the Mississippi. and those running
north into the upper lakes. 1t grows in
swampy lands, and in fact, viii grow in
lands where the water is not more than one
or two feet deep. 1t is known as the Min
nesota rice, and is botanically called Ziza-
MIA uqadtica. 1t sometimes grown eight
or ten inches high, producings a large sien-
der grain, enclored in husk, like OATS
When cleaned from the husk, it is as white
as any Southern rice. The proper place is
a low, swampy piece ofground, that can be
plewed, but not drained, with mud bot
tom. The seed should be sown in the wa
ter, and it will sink to the bottom. Sown
in the fall, it will ripen the next August.
Suppose some one try it and give US the
result Ohio Farmer.

CHINESE SUGAR CoRS.-Mr. Redmond,
of the Southern Cultigotor, has the credit
of introducing the Sorgho Sucre into Geor-
gia- Through DR.. Bartery of Rome, Ga.
he had its sugar -makieg quality tested and
got sample of crude brown sugar, and a
very good sample of crystalized sugar made
in the United States from the Sorgho Su-
ere.
Governor Hammond of South Carolina,
made a report to the Beach Island Farmers
Club, detailing his experiments of the past
season. He succeeded, with very simple
apparatus, in making syrup of excellent
quality, but did not attempt to make SUI
gar. He found it very productive in fod-
der, and yielding very largely also in seed.
The croy may be cut repeatedly for fodder,
asi t springs up Immediately after the
schythe. He expresses the belief that,
owing to the more perfect manuring of the
plant and the probable fact that two crops
may be grown in season, the Sorgho Su-
ere 'swill yield more and better sugar than
the louisiana cane" A succession of crops
may be arranged, he says, 10 insure cutting
from the 1st of July until frost. The Gov
ernor intends to plant ten acres next season,
for further experiment.

DFw UNHEALTHY FOR ASIMALs.-Last
year, nearly sixty thousand horses died
one-third of all they had in the colony
on the cape of Good Hope, from some dis
ease which could not be accounted for
Many sheep were also lost from an unusu-
al disease. 1t is now thought that this ca
lamity was occasioned by allowing the en-
imals to eat grass with the dew on it
Exchange.
In July last, We published a chapter on
singular Showers in which we described
and illustrated stellate-formed, microsco-
pic organism found in dew, which, at the
time, We regarded as an extraordinary phe-
nomenon. Subsequent researches have in
duced US to believe that these organisms
may be found in all dew; and we have no
doubt, that when taken in large quantities
into the stomachs of the cattle, produce
functional arrangement and death.-O Ohio

Experiments i'm wheat Plants.

Prof. Buckman sowed wheat at various
depths, from half an inch to six inches
That which was sown one inch deep. all
came up, and in eleven days. That which
was sown six inches deep, was twenty-three
days in coming up and only one eighth of
came up at all, From these and similar
experiments he became convinced that one
inch was the proper depth to bury wheat
in the ground.
The same gentleman pursued similar
course of experiments todetermine at what
time it was best to sow fall wheat. He
sowed different parcels of wheat in each
month, from June of 1851, to May of 1852,
and watched the results. The parcel SOW
en- in June, did sclerably well the next year !;
that sowed in July, did little better; the
parcels sowed in August and September,
did the best of all; they grew the tallest and
the longest heads, and presented the clean
est appearance.
Hembstadt tested also the various ef-
fects of different manures, and found that
the results were quite remarkable. BY
dressing wheat with common vegetable
matter, efound that it yielded 90 per cent.
of gluten. When dressed with cow-dung,
it had 12.0 per cent. of gluten; with sheep
dung, 22.9 per cent; and with night-soil,
1915 per cent. We suspect some error
here, for the relative amount of gluten is
so different in these different cases, that it
would seem due to some other cause.
From these experiments, made by able
men not unknown to fame, it may be seen
how much importance is to be attached to
such matters, as the time, and depth of
sowing, and the kinds of manure used in
enriching the soil for wheat. 1t is stated,
too, that in Great Britain, smut is almost
entirely prevented by immersing the seed
wheat in brine, or a solution of sulphate of
copper.

PRICE OF WooL.-There has been a
steady rise in the price of wool ever since
May, with no prospect ola decline. This
should induce farmers to take good care of
their sheep during the winter. The woods
of Jefferson and Harrison are now selling
at home for fiom 55 to so cents pound,
and the fine woods of Washington county,
Pennsylvania, are held at So cents. Good
ale q Co., Cleveland, have furnished us
with the following: "The Wool market
presents an upward tendency; cur sales
amount to over 100000 pounds within the
last three days at an advance over former
prices. We are anticipating still further
advance between this and February, owing
to the short supply in the market; but not
owing to any ability of the manufacturers
to pay higher prices, for it is evident that
woods bearmuch higher rates in proportion,
than woolen goods" Ohio Farmer.

The SHAKERs.-The number of Sha-
ker societies in this country is eighteen, To-
Gated IN seven different States. There are
none IN any foreign country. The denomi-
nation was founded by Ann Lee, who was
born in 1875. She was introduced, as she
believed, into the spirit world, and received
instructions in regard to the dispensations
which they ushered in. The Shakers hold
that there have been four dspensations of
God to man--the first beginning with Ad-
am aud extending to Abraham, the second
from Abraham to Jesus, the third from Je-
sus to Ann Lee, and the fourth from Ann
Lee onward. Established 792 ,pearA lbsnv

APPLE AND PEAR CUTTINes.-We OBJ
serve in our European exchanges, that the
German nurserymen have discovered
method by which to strike apple and pear
cuttings. In early spring they select a
piece of ground with norther aspect;
make a couple of drills nine inches apart,
and about, three deep; they select cuttings of
strong wood of last years growth, and
from one to two feet in length-the latter
size is the best; have the thick end cut
smooth, press it into the soil in one of the
drills, bend over the small or terminal point
of the cutting, and insert in the other drill,
leaving a strong bud at the highest part of
the bow; earth all up, with the exception
of the upper bud; this will swell and throw
up leaves, soon form roots, and sometimes
three or four of the other buds will do the
same, these can be divided in the following
fall OF spring. This method is worthy the
notice Of our Hofticulturists, and can be ca
sily tested during the next season.
