The trees were now clothed with
leaves Of tho freshest green, and
many Of the early kinds were in
full blossom. On every hillside
and in every cottage garden there
were some objects Of attraction
Tho double .blossomed cherry.tree
and Towering peaches, were most
beautiful objects, loaded as they
now were with flowers as large as
little roses. Camelias, forming
goodly sized trees. were common
in the woods, and azalcas adorned
the hill-sides with flowers of many
hucs. Here the A. obtusa, with
flowers Of the most dazzling red,
was particularly at home. Cyi
donia japonia was seen in Wild
state creeping amongst the grass
and covered with red blossoms, aud
several varieties Of primrose wero
met with under trees in the shady
woods. On the outskirts of Ycddo,
barn like scenery, trees and gard
and neatly clipped hedges sue
coed each other. The whole coun

NAILS IN FRUIT TREES.

A gentleman stated to ms that
while on a visit to a neighbor. his
attention was called TO a large
peach orchard every tree Of which
was totally destroyed by the raw
ges of the worm, with the excep.
tion of three, and these were the
most thrifty and hourishipg peach
trees that he ever saw, The only
cause of their superiority known
to his host was an experiment made
in consequence of observing that
those parts of wormeaton timber
into which nails had been driven
were generally sound. When
his trees were about a year old he
drove a tenpenny nal through the
body as near the ground rs possi'

PUTTING UP POTATOES

DIttN0 bE EVhAhOS
This is the season Of the year for
digging and storing potatoes, and
the Importance Of this staple pro-
duct will Justify more care than is
usually bestowed upon its preserv.
alton as ah article of food in the
family.
Potatoes should be taken from
the ground only in fair weather,
and not left exposed to tho sun and
wind, longer than it is necessary.
In haDdling.care should be taken
not to bruise the surface or break
the skin. II is a common error
that a potatoe will stand all man
ner fin usage and be none the
worse for it. Orchadists know
that if an apple is bruised in the
gathering it is not fit for winter
keeping, in like manner farmers
should know that for table use the
potatoc needs the same careful
handling, to ensure the best re-
suits. n potatoc that is bruised
or chafed, or is subjected to a wa
ter bath after leaving the ground
is materially injured for winter
keeping; a potatoc ofthe finer va
rictics such as Neshannock, Peach
blow, Kidney, Mercer, Lady's
Finger, etc, when grown upon
good suitable soil; properly barv-
estcd and cooked right, is posi-
tive dclicacy upon the table
but take the came lot, let them
be roughly handled, chafcd, i'm
mcred in water, and laid by in that
ruined and unlone condition for
q few weeks and then cooked, even
tolcrably well, and they are not Q
very inviting dish. When the po
tatoc crop of Ireland failed that
people were confronted with star,
vatiop, little do We Americans re.
alize how much suffering of the
poor and positive inconvenience te
the rich would be caused by a fail
ure Of the potatoc crop in this
country. Tho potatoc is botl
bread and meat in many house
holds and deserves all the consid
Grafton ofarrime staple, as wei
as a luxury, in human food.
Potatoes for table use should no
be stored at all in a wet cellar. II
such n place their starch is hydro
gonizcd, thereby spelling thei
finest quality for food; they be
come soggy and will never cool
dry or mealy. For the same rca
son where potatoes are to be stor
cd in heaps out of doors and GOV
cred with earth avoid placin:
them on any other than lan'
which is naturally dry and wher
water will not stand. On sand
land potatoes will keep very wei
in heap if properly covered iron
the winter rains and secured from
frost.
Collar storage is most com ,aol
among farmers and most convcn
lent for household purposes, bu
the cellar should be dry. If til
potatoes are free from disease the
may be stored in close bins wit
the tops covered with sand o
loan, which will ensure pcricc
preservation. Potatoes which ar
tainted with rot must have thei
sore spots dried up by exposure t
the dry atmosphere and adjust o
Stacked lime. Such potatoes ar
not fit for human food, and shoul
only be used under protest in cas-
of dire necessity.
