Massachusetts and her
Factory Operatives.

The State Commissioner to in
vestigate the subject of the en-
'ployment and education Of chill
dren in the factories of Massachu-
setts, II. B. Ham, Esq, in an adj
dress recently delivered, described
the condition of affairs in regard
to these juvenile operatives as
'dreadful." He said, "The condi-
tion of some OF the operatives is
as bad, if not worse, than former
ly existed among the slaves of the
South" He spoke of the bad
ventilation of some of the mills,
the early age at which children
are placed in them, the inadequate
wages, their ignorance, and the ne
cessity of reducing the hours of
labor in thefactories. Everybody
who knows anything about South
ern slavery knows that the slaves
were all wellfed, we'll housed, and
that they were not overworked.
The Juvenile operatives in the
Massachusetts factories, as de-
scribed by the State Commissioner,
is infinitely worse than could ex-
ist in any slave country, where
without regard to considerations
of humanity the slave is valued
as property. But these are white
children-white Massachusetts
children--and as white people in
Massachusetts are of small ac-
count, we hear of no excitement
on the subject. If the scene of |
this disgraceful inhumanity were
laid in the South, and if the victims
were colored children, Massachu-
Setts would raise q howl that |
would rend the air.

Those Picked Apples.

A lady reader says "Don't fail
again to tell the housekeepers who
read the Observer, how to pickle
apples in the manner described by
you some two or three years since,
with any improvements in the pro-
cess. ] have for two years put
up picked apples in the way de-
scribed, and we all value them
very highly .t

upon the plan referred to, which
was this; '' '.'.'
Take peck of sweet apples and
pare them. Boil them until ten
der in a syrup made of A lbs. of
sugar and a quart of vinegar; then
remove them from this syrup, and
make a new syrup of 5 lbs of su-
gar and quart of vinegar, to
which add two teaspoonfuls each
of cloves and cinnamon, tied in a
rag, let this syrup boil l5 or 20
minutes, and pour it, while hot,
over fruit. The first may be used
for other sauces.

How TO SAVE CoTToN FROM THE
ARMY WoRM.-An old and expert
enced planter addresses o note to
the Jefferson Jintplecule, in which
he states that the worm may be
effectually kept out of cotton by
keeping fires burning around the
edges of the fields at night, when
it is known to infest the neighbor-
hood. He was led to an accident
al observance of this by what oc-
Cured years ago on his own plan
tation. A newly cleared farm
around which scattering log heaps
were burned, was not touched,
while the fields adjoining were de-
vastated by the worm. The moth,
which deposits the larvae, flies on
ly at night, and is probably re-
PEELED by the smoke, or led by the
glare, like candle moths, to pre-
cipitate themselves in the flames.
He afterwards frequently tried
that method of combating the in
sect, and found it always success
full, - "

Beautiful Experiment.

Fill a wide-mouthed glass jar
with water and cover it over with
a piece of Foundation" (the la
dies will understand this,) cover
that over with layer of peas,
pressing it down SO that the peas
will lay in the water. They will
their swell and sprout, the roots
growing downinto the water, their
fibres presenting a beautiful ap-
pearance. Set this in o window,
and vines will grow up, which can
be conducted to the sill. The
whole is very handsome.
If an acorn is suspended by q
piece of thread to within half an
inch of some water contained in a
hyacinth glass, and SO permitted
to remain without being disturbed,
it will, in few months, burst and
throw q root down into the water
and shoot upward its tapering stem
with beautiful little green leaves.
A young oak tree, growing this
way on mantle shelf of a room,
is very interesting object.
We have seen very pretty objects
growing this wise: Select a good
sized carrot, and shorten to say
three inches, leaving the crown as
it grew, except all the summer
leaves are to be trimmed off; take
some string and suspend this in a
warm window, crown down. In
q little time the leaves will COM
meuce growing, and continue un-
til not a particle of the carrot is
visible, forming q hanging plant
without pot or soil. a4Hs .rad

If Brother Jonathan were as sa-
wing of imanures, as John Bull is,
he would be q better. farmer. No
one knows until he has seen it,
how careful English and European
farmers and gardeners are of eve
rything which can be converted
into manure. And this is one
ground Of their superiority in ag-
riculture. d 1lavon ~ aa.,
e Now, let us repeat, what we
have often said, that few things
are more valuable for fertilizing
purposes than decayed leaves
They are hardly inferior to barn
yard manure. Gather them up,
now, this very month of Novem-
ber, before they are covered by the
snow. They are abundant every
where, lying in heaps and wind
rows in the forest and by the road
side, and by the fences in every
yard. The wood-lot should not
be stripped clean of them; but
doubtless every farmers land con-
tains more of them here and there,
than he can find time to cart home.
Gather them up, by raking, or by
sweeping with large birch broom,
Stack them and pack them in a
large wagon, adding side-boards.a as
high as convenient; you will hard
ly get too heavy a load. Cart
them home, and strew them as bed
ding for cattle and horses; use
them for compost in tine stableyard,
use them to protect tender grape |
vines and shrubs and plants in
Winter. Strawberry patches will |
fairly sing for joy under such a
teathery blanket. BY all means,
save the leaves, and use them.

Never Travelled.

A story is told of an old lady
who lived near Rochester, who
had never seen or Travelled on a
railroad. Wanting to 60 ON visit

walked out on the platform, put
down her rocking-chair, sat down
in it, took out her knitting, and
went to work diligently. Steadi-
lily she rocked and worked, trains
coming in and leaving as the car
time came round. The cid lady
made no attempt to get ON the
cars, but kept knitting, ''.' '"..
The day drew to a close, and
night came on. The last train
was about starting, when the de-
lpot master went up and asked her

"Well," exclaimed the old lady,
dropping her knitting and holding
up her hands, "ain't the thing 60

HABITS OF THE APPLE BoRER.-
A correspondent of the Maine
Farmer, who has paid much atten-
ton to this destructive insect,
states as the result of his observa-
tions that the absence OF the saw
dust or borings about the trunk OF
the tree is no proof of the absence
of the borer; that the borer
works downwards, sideways; or
round about, the second year
working very close to the bark
and girdling the tree SO lar as
he goes, aud it is not until after
the second year that he makes q
straight course upward and inward
to come out, probably on the other
side; that there are often several
borers in the same burrow, at least
during the first and second years
and that it is better to kill the tree
in searching for them with the
knife and the chisel, than not to
find them. " a

To PRESERVE POTATOES FROM
RoT.-A correspondent of the Sci
entifc American says that he has
tried the following method of
keeping potatoes for years with
complete success, though in some
instances the tubers were diseased
when out of the ground; Dust
over the floor of the bin with lime
and put in about six or seven inch
es deep of potatoes, and dust
with lime as before. Put in six
or seven inches of potatoes, and
dust with lime again; repeat the
operation till all are stored away.
One bushel Of lime will do forty
bushels of potatoes, though more
will not hurt them-the lime rath-
er improving the flavor than other
wise,
