Recreation.

The Americans as people
at least the professional and mer-
camille classes-have too little
considered the Importance OF
healthful, generous recreation
They have not learned the lesson
contained in the very word which
teaches that the worn out man is
RE-oREArED, made over again, by
the seasonable relaxation Of his
strained faculties. The old world
learned this lesson years ago, and
found out (Herod ], 173) that
as the bow always bent will at
last break, so the man forever
on the strain of thought and ac-
action, will at last 60 mad or break
down. Thrown upon a new con-
tinent-eager to do the work o.
twenty centuries in two-the An
glo American population has over
worked, and is daily over-work'
ing itself From morning to night
from January to December

There is no lack Of few tastelesl

Chemical view of the Corn and Cob
Question.
nr E. $. wArsz..curxrsr.

The use Of corn and cob, and
their nutritious value, is a subject
upon which much has been writ
ten Of late, and various opinions
entertained as to their value by
agriculturists and stock growers.
The most contradictory state
ments concerning their use have
been published in the various ag-
ricultural journals, but no positive
test by ajudicious and careful OBJ
server seems yet to have been
made, which perhaps would be the
best mode of determining this
vexed question.
| have seen no analysis Of the
proximate principles OF this SUBJ
stance, made with the view OF
settling this point. An analysis
Of the ash has been made, | be-
>lieve, but | have not had tho plea
sure Of seeing it. And an anal
ysis would not settle the point as
well as the above mentioned prac-
teal test | have been making
some examinations Of the consti-
tuents OF the cob, and find in It
no starch, a small portion Of gum,
resin and fatty matters, in all a.
bout fifteen per cent Of the cob,
the remainder is lignin, collulore,
and medullin, which three sub
stances are identical in their ulti-
mate analysis with starch, and
contain each IL equivalents Of
carbon, 10 Of hydrogen and 10
Of oxygen, thus:

Planting Fruit Trsee in the Fall.
In view Of the losses sustained
by those who planted trees in the
fall last year, owing to the sever
ity Of the past winter, many per-
sons feel unwilling to repeat the
experiment Of fall planting, al
though they are aware that there
is not one chance in fifty that we
shall again experience such a win
ter as the past one.
We still adhere to the opinion
that the fall is the best time for
transplanting trees, ofsuch kinds
as are not liable to suffer injury
from the winter, and where the
soil is not of too moist a nature
to be suitable for an orchard
When planted early in the fall,
say in October, especially, it will
be found that new fibrous roots
have been formed before the set
ting in of winter, and the trees
are prepared to take an early and
vigorous start in spring. The
fall is also time OF more leisure
to most persons, so that this work
is less likely to be neglected or
performed in a hurried manner;
and furthermore, as a general
rule, better trees can be procured
az the nurseries in the fall, than
10 the spring, owing to the rule Of
"first come, first served"
Our advice therefore is, procure
your trees, If possible, in the fall,
as early as the leaves come offrea-
Oily, and plant the hardy kinds,
as apple, pear, PUN, gooseberry,
curraut, &C., as soon as possible,
having the ground already well
prepared. The other kinds. as
peach, cherry, apricot, grape, rasp'
berry, &C., which are liable to in
Jury by the winter, should be
"heeled in," as it is called-se'
lecting a dry and sheltered spoI
of ground, make a broad trench
or furrow, and lay the roots there
in, letting the tops rest near the
surface Of the ground, then covel
with earth. nearly the length o

In Of winter, cover the whole

the woods; but il the grounds arr
infested with field mice, it is bet

Now, it seems to me that the
nutritious value Of the cob de-
ponds not entirely upon the 10
per cent Of matter soluble in the
various menstrual during the anal
ysis, but upon the conversion of
the lignin, collulore and medullin,
by the action of the digestive or

stance, which is not very extra
VACANT stretch Of theimagination
to suppose that such is the case,
and practical results in a different
manner tend to prove the cor
rectness Of the supposition. For
instance, distiller mentions that
by the use Of the corn and cob,
he was able to produce a much
larger amount of whiskey than
with the corn without the cob;
and we learn that a French
chemist from lignin alone, by a
chemical process, has obtained an
=
alcoholic liquid, and is at the
present moment prosecuting his
discovery, with tho view Of obta-
lining alcohol from wood saw dust

A Wrinkle About the Age Of Hors-


90.
A iew>days ago we met a man
from Alabama, who gave us a
piece OF information in regard to
ascertaining the age Of a horse
after he or she had passed the
ninth year, which was new to us,
and will be, we are sure, to most
of our subscribers. 1t is this
after the horse is nine years old, a
wrinkle comes on the eyelid, at
the upper corner of the lower lid,
and every year thereafter, he has
one well-defned wrinkle for each
year over nine, IT. for instance,
a horse has three wrinkles, he is
twelve; if four, he is thirteen.----
Add the number of wrinkles to
nine, and you have his age. So
says the gentleman; and he is
confident i. will never fail. As
a good many people have horses
over nine. it is easily tried. II
true, the horse dentist will have
to give up his trade Noutheyn
