Then and Now,
From the Waverly Ma

Prom the Nayeriy Magazine.
The rushing waters of the rapid Potomac
glide On swiftly now as they did three
years AGO. But how changed around it.
Once beautifulwoodland crownedits banks,
broad green fields stretched far away,
plenty smiled in every State. The morn
inc songs of birds assembled in q SIX un-
clouded by the smoke from musketIy.-
The breath of the morning was fresh, not
laken with sulphurous odors. Now, alas.
where once stood lourishing villages, there
is nothing to be seen but charrcd and
blackene9 ruins. Here the ground is
~ploughed up by a bursting shell. Yonder
is a house in flames, and it's inmates turn
cd homeless into the wide world.
The battle is over, the victory won, the
setting sun sinks behind the hills. \ dense
cloud Of smoke hangs over the battlefield.
The groans Of the dying are heard, and
the dead are trampled by the foot Of the
war-horse. The new-made graves in the
fields and the roadside but too mournfully
attest what has become of so many Of our
lost brothers.
Those who have escaped sink down wea-
rily on the ground. Visions Of his mother
in his far distant home fit over his mind.
He sees all the loved home faces, he is
home again. Sweet voices speak softly to
him, his mothers hand is ON his head. she
is thanking God for bringing him safely
through so many dangers for he was the
youngest of that household. But bark
what sound is that which comes to his car?
1t is the booming of cannon. He awakes
from his dream, his visions of home have
fled. lie springs from the ground and
grasps his musket. Sharp orders ring out
from his officers. There is fighting going
ON in front; quick reports o~fmusketry fol-
low each other in rapid succession, but the
enemy are again routed; their retreating
columns are flying in every direction. But
where is our dreamer? lie has fallen on
the field of battle while heavily fghtin
there was no mother or sister to smooth the
hair from the damp brow, or listen to the
last words for the dear ones at home
With his mantle around him and his sword
by his side, the stern warrior is laid in his
rude grave, never to be awakened BY the
clash of farms over his head, or the roar of
cannon. The last clod is placed on his
grave. and the echo of the guns that were
iirel over him has died away among the
distant hills, and he is forgotten, save by
the evening zephyrs which whisper a
mournful requiem among the green pines
over his grave.

Gathering and Keeping Apples.

In order TO secure souudness and pre-.
servatiop, IL is indispensably necessary
that the fruit should be gathered by hand.
For winter fruit the gathering is delayed
as long as possible, avoiding severe frosts,
and the most successful practice with our
extensive orchardists is to place tho good
fruit directly,in careful manner, in new,
tight -four barrels, as soon as gathered
from the tree. These barrels should be
geAtly shaken while filing, and the heae
closely pressed in they are then placed
in cool, shady exposure under shed
open TO the air, or on the north side of a
building protected by covering of boards
over the top,where they remain for fort
night,or until tue cold becomes too severe {,
when they are carefully transferred TO a
cool, dry cellar, in which air can be ad-
mitted occasionally in brisk weather.
A cellar for this purpose should be dug
in dry gravely or sandy soil ,with,if posi-
BILE as lope to the north, or,auy rate, with
opening on the north side Tor the admiss-
ion sf air very rarely in weather not ex-
csssivoly cold. Here the barrels should
be placed on tiers on their sides, and the
cellar should be kept as dark as possible.
In such cellar, one of the largest APPLE
growers ia Duchess county is able TO keep
the Greening apple, which, in the fruit
room, usually decays in January until The
first of April,in the freshest and finest con-
dition. Some persons place layer Of
clean rye straw between every layer of
apples, when packing them in barrels
DoWning.

A Good Smokehouse.

We lately observed a we'll pl AIMED
smokehouse on the premises of a good
farmer, worthy Of brief description. 1t
was shout SIX iset square, the lower half
bui,t Of brick ,fnrnisA-1 with sn IRON lined
door, and serving as an ash house and
place for the fire The upper part, about
lOur feet high besides the ascent of the
roof was made of wood 1t was separated
from 'he lover part by seating joists, a
space Of two or three inches between them
through which smoke and air could freely
pass, but sufficient to catch any ham that
might accidentally fall, aud thus save it
from the ire The upper part, as well as
the lower, was entered by a door from
the outside thus upper door may be
kept locked, except when admitting or
withdrawing hams but the lower may be
left unlocked, for the hired man to build
fires, without any danger of the contents
aDove being stolen,ss the thief cannot pass
through the opening bsrwssn the joias.

Wash for Buildings.

AT recent meeting of the New York
Farmers club, Solon Robinson recon-
mended durable was as follows Slake
one bushel Of good lime and make it in.
TO whitcwash by addsg 40 gallons OF
water also add 20 pounds of 'panish
whiting, II pounds of salt and l2 pounds
Of sugar. He stated the wbiteing is for
coating The surface, the salt making it
penetrate the wood, aud the sugar to rem
der it adhesive This is doubtless a good
wash for interiors, but we question if it
is go adapted for outdoor work or where
constantly exposed to rains and weather,
as some other applications. After trying
many, we have found the following the
best ; Mix three pecks of good fresh wat
er lime with one peck of very fine and
clean sand and half peck of salt. Add
water enough 10 make good wash, and
apply with brush, stirring frequently
A single coat will last several years, ,espe-
cialiy If applied to rough boards. There
is no kind Of wash however, and probably
never can be, that is equal in durability
and perfection to oil paint, through which
water can never pass, while all the differ
ant washes are soaked through by every
long rain. The lime, however, penetra-
ting the pores OF the wood greatly inerea'
ses it's durability, and if occasionally re-
peated when needed, is scarcely inferior
in this respect to oil paint.

Storing Potatoes for Winter.

- WI I1e5 SIoeOCS AOA w AhCCis
When potatoes are to be put away ir
pits, care should be taken to keep them as
dry as possible, aud to ventilate the pile
so that no confined air shall remain. The
beat method is to select high dry ridge,
and when the pile is formed give it q thick
covering OF straw, grass or stalks, with a
sufficient thickness of earth to render them
secure from frost ,and then cover the whole
with plank so as to turn off the water into
trenches, which should surround the heaps
In forming the pile, a tube or several Of
them, according to the length of the pit
should be extended into tie body Of the
heap and reach 10 tie Top of the earth for
the escape OF heated air. These may b.
five or ten inches square, and in very cold
weather, the opening should be closed
with bundle Of straw or hay. Without
this precautiou, potatoes that are design
ed for seed arc as much injured as if they
were intended for the table. Before plan
ting time they are SO much grown that
their strength and vgor are so exhausted
that the second growth is much weaker
Than the first, causing slender, ,sckly vines
and greatly diminished crop.
Except the covering of plank, turpi[
and other roots should be stored and ven,
tiliated in the same manner.
