BARBARA FRIETCHIE.
by Join O. WHITTIER.

pfrom the meadows rich with corn,
Clear in the csol September morn,
The clustered spires Of Frederick stand,
Green-wallcd by the hills Of MARYLAND.
Round about them orchards sweep,
Apple and peach tree fruitod deep,
Fair as garden ofthe Lord
To the eyes oftho famished rebel horde.
On that pleasant morn Of the carly fall
When Lee marched over the mountain.wall-
Over the mountains winding down.
Horse and foot into Frederick town
Forty flags with their silver stars,
Forty flags with their crimson bars,
Flapped in the morning wind; the sun
OF noon looked down, and saw not ono.
Up rose old Barbara Frietchie then,
Bowed with her four score years and ten;
Bravest Of all in Frederick town,
She took up tho flag the men hauled down;
In her attic window the staff she set,
To show that one heart was loyal yet!
Up the street came the robel tread,
Stouewall jackson riding ahead.
Under his slouched hat left and right
AAN bt"hItus Aut olu udB lutt MS hlBlls
"Haltl"-the dust-brown ranks stood fast.
"Firel"-out blazed the rife-b!ast.
1t shiysred the window, pane and sash;
1t rent the banner with seam and CASH.
Quick, as It fell, from the broken staff,
Dame Barbara snotched the silkcn scarf;
She leaned far out on the window sill,
And shook It forth with a royalwill,
"Shoot, ifyou must, this old gray head,
But spare your country's flag" she said.
shade ofssdncss, blush orshame,
over the face Of the leader came;
The noble nature within hi0 stirred
To life at that woman's deed and word;
"WhO touches a hair Of yon gray head
Dies like dogl March onln he said.
All day long through Frederick street
Sounded the tread Of marching feet;
All day long that free flag tossed
Over the heads ofthe rebel host.
Ever its torn folds rose and fell
On the loyal winds that loved it we'll;
And through the hill-gaps sunset light
shone ever it with warm good night.
Barbara Fretchie's work is o'or,
And the rebel rides on his raids ne more.
Honor to her! and let a tear
Fall, for her sake, on Stonewall's bier.
Over Barbara Frietchio's grave
Flag of Freedom and Union wavcl
Peace and order and beauty draw
Round thy symbol Of light and law;
And ever the stars above look down
On thy stars below in Frederick town!

REMARKABLE DEsTRUcFION or CATERPILLARs.
IN ORcHARDs.-ThOse OF our readers who have
either fruit trees in their gardens or who cnti-
vate large orchards, will learn with much graft
6catiOn that certain instrunentality of distruc
ton to the caterpillars has been discovered
That coal-oil will cause instant death to these
pests, has been proved beyond a doubt. On
Saturday last letter vas received at the Leader
ofice for publication, from one of our subscribers
an extensive farmer in the Township of Clark,
County of Durham, stating the fact that, as
last to endesvOr to destroy the caterpilars
(which had taken almost entire possession of the
trees in the orchard, he experimental with coal
OIL Complete success attended the experiment.
A brush OF stiff feathers was made, and portions
Of the trees smeared with the oil, in addition to
to placing small quantities on the nests Instant
death ensued. The proprietor of the Leader at
once tested the oil on his trees at Glengrove
Farm, Young street, where the ca.erpillars had
collected in Thousands. doing fearful damage. In
couple Of hours one quart Of it had cleared
the orchard completely of caterpiIlars. The dead
lay around in all directions. The effect of the
oil on the pests seemed miraculous there was
no long delay 10 undergo, for one touch of the
deadly substance 10 the nests spread desolation
In all directions. This is, certainly cheap rem
edy, as well as q sure one, aud all our suDscrib
ers troubled with cstespiIlars should adopt it.

NO FAILURE IN STABLE DUNG.

In all the experience of farmers throughout
the world, no one has ever yet pronounced sta
BILE manure m eliable. The clouds may Withhold
their rair- u,l the sun NAV parch up the earth,
but 49,. cannot las the blame TO our stable manu-
- Give il heat and moisture, when properly
mixed in the soil. and it will never fail to dc
what is required OF it.
This manure contains all the fertilizing sub
tances that plants want Nor is there a sing IL
variety of plants in existence, which requires any
other fertilizer in order u produce tho largest
possible growth or crop.
No market gardener, who grows all the veget
able productions OF the market, never sees any
necessity in purchasing mineral manures, Sc
long as he can obtain stable dung at a satisfactO-
ry price.
The uses aud component parts OF this manure
are one OF the wonderful provisions OF Provi-
dence, for the beue6t of the tillers OF the soil
The Creator Of the world made soils susceptible
Of impOvershment, by constant tillage, and He
placed the remedy within reach of all.

cuowIxe CORN FOR FODDER.

The following method of growing and feeding
this crop. il gwen by Hon. ZadOck Pratt, Of
Prattsvilie, New York, in the Transactioes OF
the New York State Agricultural Society.
About one acre to FIVE COWS IS prepared for
soiling. by blowing sward and manuring upon
the surface, and planted to corn in rows three
feet apart hills in rows one foot to eighteen IN
ches apart, from six to ten kernels in hill, about
the FIRST OF June or in drills two feet apart. II
the ground is mellow, good way TO drill corn Is
to make a iurrow by turning pillow well down
70 the land side OF the plow, to make sharp
shallow furrow, and scatter with the hand IN
the burrows, two bushels TO the acre pass a har
row over the ground lengthways OF the burrows,
and the work is done.
In August, when grass fails aud corn is full in
the blossom, COWS are fed all they can eat al
night and twice day, after getting used to the
change, il il is required, aud kept on as the los
of grass requires, through milking season. Such
as Is not required to be fed green, is cut when
in blossom and cured to feed dry. Cows are
MIXED later, to confirm the habit of holding out
milk if required in after years extra feed never
pays better than in the fall for good mixers ART
apt to milk down poor and weak on frozen grass
and moOnshine.

socIablIity Among Farmers.

Let there be no lack OF sociability among our
friends in the rural districts, for success in farm
ing may be greatly promoted by friendly inter
course Throw off oil coldness and formaties,
and visit each other as often as your time will
permit, aud talk over matters connected with
yonr pursuits in a true spirit Of kindness and
friendship. The loss in farming community
where there are no social visits, cannot be esti-
mated in dollars aud cents for not only does
the lack Of exchanging of general information
pertaining to agricultural pursuits, greatly i'm
pede successful farming: but there is a loss OF
intellec:ull, moral and social wealth, that cannot
be computed and when lost can never be recov,
cred again.
If your neighbor succeeds better than your
self IN producing any crop. do not feel that you
are humbling yourself to learn of him bis means
of success. We cannot be independent creatures
if we try, for We are Of Necessity SO linked to-
gether that the labor OF one man is for the ben
eft of hundreds OF others. Ii we by experiment
make aus discovery that is truly valuable, we
should give our neighbors the benefit OF it
Whenever a community have formed the habit
of frequent and friendly visiting, there you are
sure to End an Intellectual, social and prosperous
people.

o.orrcrIOx OF FRUIT TREES
AGAIN8T RABBIH1.

A correspondent in Delta, Eaton County, sends
us the following prescription against the gna"-
ing Of fruit trees by rabbits;
peal Basssood bark, or red Elan, three ieet
in length in strips six inches wide; clasp IL 10 Tue
tree. tie with strings at the bottom ana toP' anu
cut alta four or six inches in length and tour 10
r,nbe, in the end Of the bark which ia at the
tod to prevent curling too close to the tree' ID
.,rinO take the bark therefrom, wash win
strong lie to prevent insects and apply new bark
Tn stalking trees, split the top end Of the stake,
,.ke tbe inside bark OF Eastwood put around the
tree. and then in the split of the stake.
D. H. MORRISON.
Asa mechanical protection this plan seems to
be be elfectual; but as the object Is to prevent
rabbits from gnasing the bark, almost any out
ward covering might be equally ehectuaL-
Wrapping the trees in newspapers and tying
with strings, we have known TO be erectual-
Anv application 10 the tree which would be sui
fentIy offensive to the taste or smell to prevent
the gnawing Of rabbits would supersede the ne
cessity Of any outward covering. Painting with
white lead has been recommended; also TAU
ner's oil and we had thought Of Kerosene oil ;
but this last might be injurious TO the tree We
cut the following from the Prairie Fsrmsr;
Rabbits will not eat meat, they dislike
the snell Of blood and will not attack a tree
that has been smeered with it; therefore, every
fall when You kill hogs, save the blood in pal
and have it applied to the tree With an old white
wash brush. This is an inexpensive, and think
after trying it successfully for five years most
certain method of preserving the young apple or
chard from the depredations OF rabbits. My
first orchard was entirely destroyed by them
and verify believe my second would have been
except for the smell of blood that pertains there
