EFFECT OF TREES on HEALTH.

The advantage Of planting trees, ingreat ci-
ties, on the score Of health, are far from being
generally understood as they should be. In
the wise economy Of nature, the vegetable
and animal world mutually balance each 9th
er, the one breathing out carbon which the
other takes up, aud that other living on the
oxygen which the first throws Cf. The
filihier a place is from animal exhalations,
the more necessity there is for plants, and
the ranker they should be. lit was possi-
BILE to have the narrow alleys Of great cities
crowded with trees, the typhus fever, which
now rayages such quarters. would, probably,
be almost abolished; for the amnonia. aud
carbon which are thrown Oh from the human
beings huddled together there, would be
taken up BY the vegetation, and not left, as
now, to poison the atmosphere.
Ii has been lately suggested that the fever
and ague might be avoided, in districts
scoureed by that terrible disease, by setting
out rankly growing plants between the in
\ fectious marshes and the points endangered
/ by the misasma. At the National 0bserya-
tory, in Washington, the experiment was
tried, last summer, Of planting sun-iiuwers
az the foot Of the lawn. SO as to screen the
house from the marshes, aud with signal sue

Observatory for the first time for years. The

better manner. in orderto demonstrate wheth-
er the exemption was merely coincidence,
or more. Lieut.. Maury, who suggested the
trial, assuming that the plants caused the ex-
cmpiion. attributes il 10 the consumption, by
the sunflowers, Of the delcterious miasma
evolved BY the marsh. This may be so,
though the suggestion would be more philo-
sophical, IL the miasma originated in the de.
cay Of animal matter. Experience has prov

trees, however close to house, rarely grow
high enough to oyershadow it. But many
country residences are rendered sickly for
being too thickly embowered among trees.
Sunlight and fresh are are indispensable to
health. Show us cottage or an oldfashion-
ed manorial- like county house, oyershadowed
by trees, so that the rooms are always half
darkened, and the rain drops on The roof after
showers. and we will show you q place where
Rheumatism, colds, fevers and chills prevail,
according to the geological pecularities Of
the district and the individual constitutions
of the inmates. In cities where animal life
predominates, more vegetation Is required
for the general health. But in the country,
where vegetable life is in the ascendant,
trees, though they may properly be planted
SO as 10 screen house from the winter winds,
or exclude it from the impertinent gaze Of
strangers, should never be allowed to ap-
proach too near the dwelling.

From the Southern Planter.
GLOVER SEED.


Many farmers. indeed the most who SOW
clover, seed itin the month Of FEBRUARY, some
as early as the latter part Of January. They
are wrong. Hardy as clover is, when it gets
into the third and fourth leaf, il is one Of the
most sensitive Of plants until it ceases to de-
pend for life on the cotyledon, or seed leaf.
Until it has passed that stage it is easily de-
stroyed by dry weather, or By freeze. The
first warm spell after it is sowed causes it to
germinate I; and as that spell is almost certain
TO be followed by freeze, the clover is
either heaved out Of the ground, or killed by
the cold.
The first to the tenth Of March is the pro-
per time to SOW it. If those who differ with
US will try the plan on small scale, we shall
be glad to hear the result.
The following, clipped from an exchange,
seems to favor the drilling Of seed:
DRILLING CLOVER SEED" According tO
the report Of a practice upon a farm near
Chelmsford, in England, the drilling Of clo-
yer seed has been found not only great
saving of seed, but also has rendered the
crop more certain, and Of better quality. The
writer's says clover and all other seed have
been drilled upon this farm with the most
successful results as regards the plants; in
deed we feel that no other mode is more cer-
tain, and feel assured that two-thirds the
quantity of seed will secure greater crop
by drilling than third more would effect
| if suwn by hand, ten pounds Of clover being
ample per acre when drilled properly. Few
will pretend that field Of ten acres can be
we'll seeded with less than two bushels or one
hundred and twenty pounds. Should the
drill save one third of this, and at the same
time produce a crop one-third better. ant
with more certainty, the drilling Of clover
seed should certainly be considered matter
worthy the attention of farmers"

GRAPE CULTURE IN THE SorTH WEST
Prof g. c. Swallon, State Geolngisto of Mis-
souri. in recent letter TO the Patent Office,
suggests the idea that the extensive areas in
Kentucky and Tennessee, known as /" Bar.
rens. may be rendered valuable for vineyards.
Should thl, prove true. the numerous caves
contained IN the limestone in those regions.
wnuId become very yalnsble as places Of stor.
age for wines. He says that there seems ID
be no doubt that il can be demnnstra ed to the
satisfaction Of all intelligent wine dressers
that there are at least 20 0,000,0O0 acres oi
land in Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee.
ON which the vine will succeed as well as
in France or Germany.

says: +" Some chickens during the recent

HoRrrcuLTuRaL.-Th following discovery,
made BY accident, presents the highest hor-
ticultura interest:
A gardener, obliged TO renew the paint on
the small stakes Of his hot-houses. and desi-
rous Of putting into practice the theory of
absorption Of heat BY black, with view to
bestow on his plants and shubbery greater
amount Of color. made use Of coal tar. This
substance, besides the absorbing quality due
to its color, offers the advantage Of greater
economy, since the cost Of pound Is only
one cent, whereas the cheapest kind of paint
cannot be procured undereight cents pound.
The operation was performed, says the
Memorial Bordelais, two months ago, and the
horticulturist has noticed, to his great as
tonishment, that the spiders and insects
which infested his hot.house, have complete
" disappeared. lie has. in addition, re-
marked that those plants which we're wither-
ing previously, have suddenly recovered new
yigor and force. Char. Mercury.
