Look TO YoUR PEAR TREEsI-Psrsons
cuitivating dwarf pears, or other low
trees, shrubbery or evergreens, must have
an eye to them-and shovel, too-when
the great body of snow now lying on the
ground, begins to tbaw. 1t will settle
about the tender twigs during the day,
and freeze them at night; but the earth
being warm. and the process of thawing
and settling still going on, will drag
down the smaller branches. and break
them off where they unite with the main
stem. So it viii be with raspberry and
blackberry vines, and even currant and
eoooeberry bushes. As soon. therefore.
IS Q thaW commences, the snow should
be carefully shovelled away from the
plants SO as to relieve their branches.
In neglect of this, we have known SONG
ofthe finest young fruit trees and shrubs
Of our gardens utterly ruined.--Ez.

THE SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN has now reached
its FOURTEENTH YEAR, and will enter upon a
New Volume on the llth of September. Il is
the only weekly publication of the kind now is
sued in this country, and it has a very extensive
circulation in all the States Of the Union. II is
not, as some might suppose from its title, a dry,
abstruse work on technical science; on the con-
trary, il so deals with the great events going on
in the scientific, mechanical and industrial
worlds, as 10 please and instruct every one. If
the Mechanic or Artizan wishes to know the
best machine in use, or how to make any sub
stance employed in his business-if the House
wife wishes TO get recipe for making a good
color, &c.-if the Inventor wishes to know what
is going on in the way Of impro the
Manufacturer wishes TO keep posted with the
times, and to employ the best facilities in bis
business-if the Man Of Leisure and Study wish
es to keep himself familiar with the progress
made in the chemical laboratory, or in the con-
struction of telegraphs, steamships, railroads,
reapes, mowers, and 4 thousand other machines
and appliances, both of peace and war-all these
desiderGtd can be found in the SCIENTIFIC AME-
RIeAN, and not elsewhere. They are here pre-
sented,in a reliable and interesting form, adap-
ted to the comprehension oS minds unlearned in
the higher branches Of science and art.

Taste Restorative TrOcheS,
The Great Substitute for Tobacco.

The Great Substitute for Tobacco.
Il is a well known and ineontroyertable fact
that the use of Tobacco is the promoting cause
Of many of the most severe
Meatat and Physical Disorders,
to which the race of man is subject, as careful
analysis and long and painful experience have
clearly proven that it contains certain narcotic
and poisonous properties most dangerous in their
effects, which by entering into the blood, de-
range the functions and operations of the heart,
causing many TO suppose that organ to be seri-
ously diseased.
Tobacco affects also the entire nervous sys-
TEN, manifestins itself-as all who have ever
used the nOxious weed will bear testimonY-in
Lassitude, Nervous Irritability, Water Brash,
Dyspepsia, and many disorders Of similar
character.
The Taste Restorative TTOehes
are designed to counteract these baneful influ-
ences. and have proven completely successful in
in multitude of cases, and wherever used
Being harmless in themselves, they exert ben
efcial effect upon the entire system, restoring
the Taste which has become vitiated or destroy
ed by great indulgence completely removing the
irritation and the accompanying tickling sensa-
ton of the Throat-which are always conse-
quent upon abstaining from the use of Tobac
go, and by giving healthy tone to the Stom-
ach, invigorate the whole system.
Persons who are irretrieFably undermining
their constitutions and shortening their lives,
should use these Troches Immediately and throw
Off the injurious and unpleasant habit of Tobac-
CO Chewing.
These Troches or Lozenges are put up in
convenient and portable form at the low price
Of 50 cents per Box. A liberal discount to the
Trade.

d Tools IN THEIR PLAcEs.-Thsre are
probably very few men, if any, who have
had tho charge of farms, with men and
boys under their direction, who have not
frequently experienced vexatious Interrupt
tons in their business for want of tool.
which, at the moment it was needed,
could not be found. 1t had probably
been-used BY some one of the family, left
where it was used, and forgotten. Those
farmers who require their domestics to
deposite the tools which they use in some
definite place, whenever they have done
with them, and exact invariable attention
to this rule, may be deemed punctilious
and rigid, bnt they often save themselves
and others no triaing Share of perplexity
and loss of time. When you have a
place for everything, and everything in
its place. you know exactly where to lay
your hand upon any tool you may want.

FATTESSo TURKEYs.-The alimsntary
properties of charcoal are very great in
deed, it has been asserted that domestic
fowls may be fattened on it without any
other food, and that. too, in shorter time
than on the nutritious grains. In an ex-
pertinent made to test the value of the
article, four turkeys were taken and con-
fined in pen, and fell on meal, boiled
potatoes AMI oats. Four Others of the
same brood were confined at the same
time, in another pen. and fed daily on the
same articles, BUT with one pint of very
finely pulverized charcoal mixed with
their meal and 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 half pounds each in favor of
the fowls which had been supplied with
the charcoal. they being much the fatter.
and the meat greatly superior in point Of
tenderness and flavor. This would ap-
pear to establish, beyonl a dou6t, the
benefit Of charcoal for fattening purposes.
