ghlngles and ShlngIIng.

A correspondent Of the New England
Farmer says:
Twenty-three years ago1 found I had
quite lot of refuse shingles on hand,
both sappy and shakey, and laid them
on the back kitchen and woodshed.
z Ihave Just examined them, and think
they will last at least seven years longer.
The building has not leaked, to my
knowledge.
Isoaked these shingles in a very thin
whitewash made with brine instead Of
clear water. There has been nothing
done to thsm since, although / have no
doubt that 10 have whitewashed, or serv.
ed coat Of dry slaked lime or fine salt
once in two or three years on them,
would have been great advantage to
them. g
AS I shingle differently from almos,
any one else, I will give you my method,
and my reasons for it.
However vide the shingles may be,
do not allow the nails to be put more than
two inches apart.
ReaSon.-~- your shingles are wet OF
green, and the wide ones are nailed al
the edges, the shingle must split, or one
of the nails draw when the shingle
shrinks. If the shingle is dry it must
huff or crowd the nail out when it swells,
Thus your nails are kept in constant mo-
tion by every shrink or swell of the
shingle, TIL they are broken, pulled out,
or the Single is split.
! do not want the nails drove quite in,
or so as to sink the head.
Rsason.-The heads Of the nails hold
up the butts Of the next row Of shingles,
and gives the air a free circulation.
Ilay all my shingles in whitewash.
prefer brine for making it. / line with
red chalk. l then whitewash the last
course laid down 10 the line, ard after the
building is shingled I whilewash the
whole Of the roof.
Reason.--To make the single last
twice as long as they would without the
whitewash, and consider it much better
than just whitewashing the roof after
shingllng.
Carpenters often object to shingling in
this way, as it is rather dirty work, and
declare they know it does not do any
good-that it is just as good 10 white
wash after shIngIing, etc.

The HIaelnth.

Its beauty, fragrance, easy culture, and
wonderful adaptation, have Justly merited
for it the appellation Of Domestic Flower
It grows freely in almost any medium ca
pable Of retaining moisture. and will gem
orally produce as fine spikes Of bloom,
when grown in sand, moss, or water, as
when planted In the richest compost
Light, air, and moisture, are the neCes-
sary' essentials to insure success. When
in growth, the Hyacinth should be placed
in the lightest possible situation, turned
daily, and. during mild weather, have
abundance of air. Extremes Of temper
ature and draughts should be carefully
avoided, also close, hot situations, as here
the plant gets down, hence the cause Of
long, weakly, ill-shaped stems.
Culture of The Hyacinth IN Water.-
When grown in glasses, which is IN
doubtedly the most elegant and interest,"
ing system of our culture, use dark COLOR
ed ones, as the roots instinctiVely shun
light. Place the bulb on the top Of the
glass, which fill with pure rain, or soft
water, so as almost TO touch its base
The glasses should then be placed 10 a
perfectly dark, cool, bat not damp sltua-
ton, and il the course Of three or four
weeks the bulbs will have sufficiently
rooted, and may be removed to the light.
In all cases, a hower-stand or table close
to the window is the most desirable posi-
ton: nevertheless, the Hyacinth may be
grown sucCessiyely on the nnante-piece,
or on the centre table Of hhe room, pro-
vided here be sufficient light. The
Dutch have another very Interesting mode
of culture they take fat dish, either
crystal or porcelain, about The depth Of a
soup plate, and accordingto its size, place
9, g, 8, or - strong, healthy bulbs, IN
about half an inch Of water. In a few
days the roots begin 10 spread out hori-
zontauy, and 50 clasp each other thar in
the course. Of afew weeks they form a
natural support for the grooP. The bulbs
may or may not be covered with moss.

Agrlcnltare In the Unlted staLes.

We CLEAN the following statistical data
concerning the United Ssates, its agri-
culture and manufactures, from a very
able article by Mr.. E. Dormoy, in the
Revue Contemporaries, In 1883, at the
period of the peace, the United States
only comprised SO2, ,230 square miles at
the present time they extend over a terri
tory Of 2,962,050 square miles, ornearly
double the extent of Europe, exclusive Of
Russia. Out Of a population of 3 400, 600
males of the age Of fifteen and upwards,
As per cent are agriculturists; while
those engaged in commerce, manufac-
lures, trades, and mines, do not together
form more than 80 per cent; 2 per cent.
are devoted to a seafaring life; while the
army. scarcely claims more than one per
thousand. These proportions differ widee
ly from those of Europe, since in Eng
land not more than Is per cent. are agri-
cuIturisis; in France, % per cent.J and
in Belgium, 25 per cent. The capital
engaged in agriculture amounts in the
United States to $500 millions of dol
Iars;. while that employed In other
branches Of industry does not exceed
1000 Of dollars, Every year agriculture
adds l6, 500. .0O09dollars to the wealth Of
the country. and In the State Of New
York alone, agriculturists pay fOur-ffths
Of the taxes. In 1857, the total exports
from the United States amounted to $780,
OOO. 900 dollars, Of which sum agricultural
produce formed two.ihirds, including cot
ton, which alone stood for one-third. In
the course Of ten years the value cf these
exports had increased 20 per cent. In
the United States the average Of a farm
or estate is from $50 to 200 acres; in
France it is not more than IL lI2 acres !;
while four millions OF small farmers do
not own more than from "A To liz
acres. Maize constitutes the chief staple
of the United States, since it occupies
nearly one-third of the. land under culti-
vation, or 80 millions of acres; 20 mil
lions more consist of nncultivated pasture
land, incapable Of producing hay; IL lI2
millions are meadow land oats are
grown on 2 ! p millions of acres, and 5
millions of acres produce cotton The
vine covers 250, 900 acres. The four
chief sources of revenue TO the Union in
the way Of annual produce are=-rnaize,
producing 500 millions Of dollars; hay,
l40 millions; wheat, 100 millions; and
cotton, SO millions. The number Of

Management or Cream IN Cold
l WhafheP.

For some reason not yet known, cream
SKINNED from milk incold weather, does
not come 10 butter, when churned, so
quickly as that from the same COW in
warm weather. Perhaps the pellicles,
which form the little sacs Of butter in the
cream. are thicker and tougher There
are two methods Of obviating this trouble
in great degree. One is, to set the pan
Of milk on the stove, or IN some warm
place, as soon as strained, and let it re-
main until quite warm-some say, until d
bubble or two rises, or until a. skim Of
cream begins to form on the surface
Another mode recommended, is to add a
table spoonful Of salt to a quart Of cream
when it is skinned. Cream thus pre-
pared, viii generally come TO butter in a
few minutes when churned. It is tho't
the salt acts upon the coating of the but
ter globnles and makes them tender, so
that they break readily when beaten by
churning. -.Naiae Farmer.

The Pauline Crane.

- This grape Is beginning 10 create an
excitement among grape growers. Only
two months ago the s.Field and Fireside"
said ssWhat is the Pauline grape p
We are not certain that we know a per-
son that had ever seen a person who has
seen the Pauline grape. AT the late Vine
Growers CONVENTION at Aiken, South
Carolina, the Pauline grape was highly
appreciated for the table as well as for
wine, so much even that il is proper to
say few words about it.
Its origin, like that of many others Of
our native grapes, is rather mysterious.
Il has for many years been raised in the
vineyard of Mr.. Caradeuc and in that of
DR.. Mcdonald, who, however, never
could recollect how or whence they OBJ
tanned it. It was, however, too fine to
pass unnoticed and nameless through the
world, as it unquestionably IS enc of our
very finest grapes in the South. "A few
grape-growers concluded to name it Pau
line in honor Of Mr. Caradepc's daughter
and as token how highly they aPpreci-
ated the untiring efforts Of Mr.. Caradeuc
in promoting the cnlture Of the grape in
the Soulh-ihe perfect success Of which
is now proved beyond doubt. This was
in September 1867, and it seems strange
indeed that distinguished horticulturists
should not have known it before now.
In the catalogue of Mr.. Redmond,
formerly the proprietor of Fruilland
Nursery, a correct description is given Of
it in 1857, and in copying it can add
but a very little: "This fine new South
ern grape may be briefly described as fol-
lows Bunches quite large, shouldered,
compact; berries Of medium size color
a dark brownish crimson, very transpa-
rent before nIataFiy-not quite sol much
50 when fully ripe; favor, exceedingly
sweet and juicy, with thin skin and
no pulp the most luscious of our native
grapes; leaves large, scarcely lobed,
rough, of a yellowish tint, and somewhat
convex. Young branches and leaves
have peculiar rusty appearance, which
renders it easily recognized from any
other :; wood, red, with large prominent
eyes, not disposed to rot Makes a de-
lightful Madeira-colored wine, and is the
best hardy table grape we have in the
Soqth.' . Il
Is This grape has never been known to
rot. The skin is so thin that when over
ripe it is sometimes stung by wasps and
bees. Souse persons, Judging from the
thin skin, and the absence of pulp, have
considered it foreign grape. lit has,
however, so many characteristics peculiar
to our native grapes, as hardly 10 admit
of any doubt of Its American origin. BE
this as itmay, it is a grape that IS deser-
wing of the most extensive cultivation
