THE (MAN) HUNTERS OF KENTUCKY -
Kentucky Is famous for its sharp shooters and
shrewd hunters, and is also somewhat noted for
its great men, but it would also appear that her
fair daughters are determined to be not less
known to fame or more backward in doing
the State some service" though in n somewhat
different direction. If the Inen of Kentucky
have been celebrated as hunters of wild animals
and other game the girls may henceforth be ia
nous as hunters OF wild men, or young gentle
men who are over fearful of the arrows of Gu
pid. The following advertisement, which we

Alright Stoves.

\ A recent article in the Farmer remind
ell me Of an idea in relation to Air-tight
Stoves. The true principle Of an ari-
tight has almost been lost sight Of within
few years, by making them small, I'M
der the mistaken notion that the smaller
the stove, the greater the saving OF fuel.
There is no better method yet discovered
of securing a soft balmy air in room at
cheap rate than from an air-tight Of
large size. Manufacturers make small
stoves to suit customers, but true economy
will lead man to inquire whether a
small stove is not really the more expen-
sivc. 1t requires more labor to prepare
the fuel. The air tight principle is almost
entirely lost. The high temperature Of
the stove speedily burns it out, as well as
changes every particle of dust into car
bonic acid, which will soon produce
headaches, while it requires almost con-
slant attention,
have an airtight made to- order from
the best of Russian iron, which has been
in constant use for fourteen winters, and
it is not worn out yet. 1t is two feet six
inches in length and of the same height,
and will warm any room, giving ont a
large volume of heat at low tempera-
turc, which is the true secret of good
air-tight. Among all the comforts Of life
in nv possession, / have never yet found
one to equal the somewhat questionable
looking air-tight.
( believe that little attention would
give US air-tight stoves that would warm
our churches, school-rooms and private
dwellings much cheaper and better than
the present clumsy and expensive mode
of brick furnaces. Amy method by which
q large radiating surface is obtained (and
no material yet discovered will do it at a
cheaper rate than sheetiron) and CORE.

ature, and the object will be accomplished.
l have noticed another fact in the
school-room. The habit of putting water
on a stove is in most cases an injurious
one. There is large amount of evapor,
alton, and the moment a person who ha:
not been exercising, steps out of doors, he
feels an unusually chilly sensation, which
is anything but agreeable. Then if thert
is any vegetable matter in the vessel, il
will certainly generate carbonic acid, and
pupils will complain very soon of head,
ache. Water kept in an open vessel ii
any other part of the room viii supply
all the moisture necessary. have no
kept water on a stove for twenty years
and find it much better than formerly fol
the comfort of pupils. But few persons
distinguish between vitiated air. snt

have impure air, or it may be warm ant
pure. Hence the necessity of some ready

Time for Transplanting Fruit Trees.

As o general rule, the proper season
for the removal Of trees is at any period
between the cessation of growth in au-
tumn-usuaily little later than mid
autumn in ths Northarn States--and its
recommencement in spring. The earlier
in the spring the better; but if deferred
till the buds are much swollen, the roots
should be coated Immediately with mud,
and kept moist till again set out. Trans
planting may be performed in winter,
whenever the ground is open, and the air
above freezing. but roots which are frozen
while out Of the ground. will perish un-
less they are buried before thawing.
When it becomes necessary to keep
trees through winter without setting, as
often occurs where they are brought from
distance. the roots may be placed slop-
ing in trench on dry spot of ground,
and fine earth thoroughly sprinkled in
among them, filling up all interstices:
and if they are of tender kinds, one half
Of the stems may be covered with earth.
Trees are often badly kept from neglect
to I'll up the cavities, which may be pre-.
vented by dashing in water, as in trans
planting. If received late in autumn,
after having been frozee, the roots should
be buried as speedily as possible before
thawing taxes place, the gradual abstrac-
ton O. the frost by the soil being perfect
J ssfe, in the same way that it takes place
every spring when the frozen roots OF
standing trees are thawed with the thaw.
ing Of the ground. rs. -7.a4p
The size for transplanting must vary
with circumstances. Six to seven feet
high is large enough under ordinary cir
cumstances, but those much larger may
Be successfully removed if they have been
previously prepared by shortening the
long roots to induce the emission of a
mass OF smaller fibres near the centre or
stem. This is done one year before, by
running a spade into the earth in circle
about the foot Of the stem, if the tree vet
stands in the nursery, or by cutting a
circle trench around the tree if it is large
standard in open ground.
Trees not over four or Eve feet high
would usually succeed best with the usual
hasty mode of digging, as a proper bal
anee between the top and the root would
be more nearly preserved, the danger Of
dying would be lessened, and the vigor
of growth being less checked, they would
as soon attain bearing state.
On review of the essential requisites
for successful transplanting. they may be
summoned up briefly as follows:
/. a previous preparation of a rich
deep yellow earth to receive the roots,
and land which cannot be water-soaked.
2. Removing the tree with as little
mutilation of the roots as practicable.
8. PAIRING off the bruised parts. "
4. Shortening in the head, in greater
or less degree, to correspond with the
necessary loss of roots.
5. Immersing the roots in mud.
6. Settling the earth with water.
I. Planting no deeper than before.
8. Stalking or embanking to prevent
injury by the wind. Il7l
8. Watering the stems and branches
before the appearance of the leaf.
10. Mulching, where danger of mid
summer drouth is feared.-J. j. Thomas

FRurr TREEs.-Fruit growers should
be particularly careful this year in max.
ing purchases of peach, rlum, damson,
pear and apricot trees, as the past winter
has treated these varieties very harshly,
killing the bud, if not the stalk of the
tree. An easy mode Oftestifying whether
tree has vitality in it or NOT, is by cut
ting off a twig near bud II the wood
thus exposed presents a dark brown color,
and snaps as il half seasoned. the tree, il
not dead, is not worth planting. If. on
the other hand, the wood is ola yellow
ish green color, the tree viii, ten chances
to one, live and bear fruit.

Turkey Fattening.

AT this season Of the year the subject Of
fsttening is of the greatest Importance
Many of the birds brought to market are
very poor, and little attention to this
matter for few weeks will increase the
profits ofthe farmer and the pleasure Of
the consumer.
1t is only when the cold comes, and
turkeys are about six months old, that
they should be fed with better and more
plentiful food, in order to increase their
size and plumpness for market Indian
corn, ground barley, wheat, also rice and
other articles used to fatten common
fowls, are considered best for turkeys
Their weight, when well fattened and
brought to market, should average twelve
pounds; their living and dead weight is
as eighteen to twelve pounds.
Goblet says, GAS to fattening tur-
keys, the best way is never to let them
get poor. Barley meal, mixed with
skinned milk and given to them fresh,
viii make them fat in a short time
Boiled potatoes mixed with Indian meal
will furnish change ofsweet food which
they relish much, and of which they
should be allowed to eat as much as they
can. AS with others, the food Of this
bird must be kept clean, and the utmost
care taken not to give them on the NOR
row the mixture of the preceding day;
because if the weather is warm, it will
sour, which might displease them"
Much has been published of late in our
agricultural journals in relation to the
alimentary properties of charcoal. Ithas
been repeatedly asserted that domestic
fowls may be fattened on it without any
other food, and that, too, in shorter
time than on the most nutritive gains.
al have recently made an experiment, !"
says writer for Philadelphia paper,
Hand must say that the result surprised
me, es l had always been rather skepti-
cal. -Four turkeys were confined in a
pen and fed on meal, boiled potatoes and
oats. -Four others, of the same brood,
were also at the same time confined in
another pen and fed on the same articles,
but with one pint of very finely puIveriz-
ed charcoal mixed with their food-mix-
ed meal and boiled potatoes. They had
also plentiful supply of broken charcoal
in their pen. The eight were killed on
the same day, and there was difference
of one and a half pounds each in favor Of
the fowls which had been supplied with
the charcoal, they being much the latest,
and the meat is greatly superior in point
of tenderness and favor, "-RaraI Ner

A DISCOVERY WE HAVE BEEN WAITING
FoR.-To have to kill an OK in order to
make pair of boots is clumsy thing
and we have waited some time to hear Of
some invention which will supersede
leather for the feet, as wool and cotton,
linen and silk have superseded the skin
of animals for the rest of the human dress.
We see the London papers speak of an
invention, which has just been submitted
to the test by the scientific authorities. A
leather cement, so strong and adhesive
that boots and shoes are made with it, in
which not single stitch is seen or re-
quired, and the process of mending SO
simple, that every man may be, If not his
boot-maker, at all events his own boot
member.
