Cover your Vines and Plants.

The advice cannot be too often given to
all who cultivate vines and plants, as to
their protection through the winter and
early spring. We have found after good
many years of experience, that there is no
mode of guarding all vines and plants not
entirely hardy, against our occasionally
severe winters, as laying them down and
covering them with coil. OF course VIC
mean those which can be so treated. The
covering should not be more than two to
four inches, according to the nature of the
thing laid down. If too much earth is
used, the buds, from the heat of the ground
in March, may burst too early, and may be
damoged by late frost when taken up,
which should rarely be done before the first
of April. All young Grape-vines should be
laid down. though, it will prove of great
benefit in our judgment, to all grape-vinGs,
young or old, hardy or otherwise, to prunc
them and lay them down and cover them
with few inches Of soil. All Raspberry
canes should he pruned and laid down; so
should Roses that are liable to damage from
the frost. Strawing up roses and other
deciduous flowers and shrubbery, as it is
usually done, that is, binding them as tightly
almost as pole; is far more injurious to
them than no protection at all Where
strawing.up Is rcsorted to, it should be
applied only on the side exposed to the
sun.
All flower borders should have good
covering of stable manure-horsc manure
being very good for this purpose. In the
spring the long stuff should be raked off,
and the rest forked in. 1t will not only
protect the roots against injury during the
winter, but the plants will appear in the
spring greatly invigorated, and the flowers
will be much more abundant and prove of
much higher colors and greater beauty.
Even leaves, straw, debris Of any kind; or,
if there be nothing else, slight covering
Of soil will be Of good service.
We trust that no one who values the
things about his premises here referred to,
will neglect this brief adyice-and now is
the time to attend to :t-at least not later
than the last of this month.-GermaHtOpH
Telegraph.

soil without animalization.' The method
pursued to effect this object consists simply
in the concentration of the materials. Chah',
chopped straw, horsc-dung, excremcEt gath
cred in the highways, tops and feaves of
turnips, peelings of yains and sweet potatoes,
and all the oifaf OF the farm are carefully
mixed with little mold, shovcled up in
small pyramidal heaps, moistened and COW
cred with a straw thatch. / often saw Also
in this compost, heaps of muscles and snails,
with which most of the rivulets and brooks
abound, and which, in all parts close to the
sea-shore, may be obtained in any quantities
The compost heaps are occasionally moistcn-
ed and turned with the shovel, and thus the
process of decomposition proceeds rapidly
under the powerful action of the sun. /
have also often seen the shorter process of
reduction by fire resorted to when there was
plenty of straw, or where the manure was
required for use before it could be got ready
for use by the slower fermentation process"
1t will be seen from the foregoing that
the japanese farmer applies his manure only
as top dressing and in the liquid form.
The manure being fully termented is brought
into immediate contact with the seed, not
only without injury, but with decided bene-
fit to its early growth. Another feature
WHICH, CRdEdCteTlLeS tnclr culture is the ma
nuring with every crop. Each sowing re-
ceives the necessary amount of manure, and
Il full return is expected from the Immediate
crop, without reference to the next harvest.
We have introduced this subject to show
that for thousands of years successful sys-
TEN of agriculture has been carried on main
ly by the aid of human excrcment, in the
hope of inducing our readers to add this
element of fertility to their farms. There
exists sort of prejudice against the use of
night soil as a manure. A general knowl-
edge of chemistry would dissipatc this and
other notions. Human cxcrement, as we'll
as that of animals, contains elements which
are needed for the growth of the plant. 1t
matters nothing from what source these are
obtained, the wondrous processes going on
within the plant will convert these elements
into food. Every thoughtful person will see
that It's mans duty, when he has taken the
products Of the soil for food, to return to it
those portions which are not needed in his
own system, but which are, according to the
operations of nature, voided in such n state
as to demand their removal, and which
form valuable plant fooG.-AmGtican Agrj-

How TATLoREssEs ARE PAID.-At the
meeting of female operatives in New York,
the following facts were elected in re-
ference to the payments received by the
tAiloresses for the work they were employed
in:
A cloakmaker stated that she received
forty cents for making a lady's cloak of the
large size, the work occupying Il day and n
half. Some shirtmakcrs present remarked
that all they received for making dozen
shirts was sixty cents, the time required on
the work, even with sewing machine, be-
ing day and half Fine shirts brought
them 81 yer dozen, all flushed Flannel
shirts from four to six cents each, the store
keepers selling them for So each Over

dozen-making six being good days work.
Those engaged in making boys clothing
said all they received for making a whole
suit was siXty-cight cents each suit. requr.

profit on each half dozen made Baisters

the insults and Sights these poor women
are obliged to submit to from the little dcs

AN OLD DEsCRTPTIoN OF MODERN Cor
PERHEADs.-In one of the speeches made
during the last war with great Britain, by
Felix Grundy, of Tennessee, occurs the fol-
lowing apt description of a thorough-going
Copperhead, as seen at the present day:
"An individual goes over joins the ranks
of the enemy, and raises his arms against
his country; he is clearly guilty of treason
under the Constitution, the overt act being
consumated. Suppose the same individual
nat to 90 over to the enemy, bit remain IN
his onH aeighborhood, and by meanSQ' lis iafu-
elaCe diSS,tdde ten meR, trOm eaiiSttng; / ask in
which case has he benefited the enemy and
injured the country most r.
Again, he says, IN answering the question,
"Whom, then, do accuse ~
II accuse him, sir, who processes himself
to be the friend of this country and enjoys
its protection, yet proves himself by his ac-
tions to be the friend of its enemy. Iaccuse
him who sets himself 20 work Systematically
to weaken the arm of this Government by
destroying its credit and damping the ardor
of its citizens. | accuse him who has used
his eXertions to defeat the loan and to pre-
vent the young men of the country from
going forth to fight their countrys battles.
| accuse him who announces with JOY the
disasters of our arms, and sinks into melan-
choly when he hears of our success. Such
men cannot consider friends to this nation y
