BY the many readers of Mr.. Howells' for

ton of his records of travel will be eagerly
welcomed. Few travellers understand SO we'll
as he what to tell and how to tell it, and III
what to withhold. He recognizes the iact,
which too many tourists seem incapao'e Oh
taking in, that the ground over which he pass

is nearly as familiar TO his reader as to himself.
He nover tro,,bles Us with guide-book details

r,ntures in an galleries. But he takes us in

scribes with litelike freshness and accuracy
the scenes which his eyes behold, No mere
sight-seer, lie tastes the .faror of the country
in which he soiourns, and, what is rarer stil
he is able to communicate something of this
to his reader. His humor too is quick his
fancy warm and poetic, and his taste suffi-

ScrapImg and washing Trees.

We consider early winter to be the best time for
scrapiug and washing the trunks Of trees II is
we'll known to all observing fruit growers that the
loose bark Of trees is the winter quarters OF myr-
lads OF insects, where they securely remain until
the ensuing spring, when the warm genial weather
invites them To quit their coy homes and begin
their destructive operations for the season. We
have found narrow saw, rather fine ctoothcd to
be nm excellent tool in rnsping or the snpernuous
bnrk. Ii accomplshrs II more uniformly than a
hoe, trowul or other scraper a trowel or short
handled hoe, howevcr, is very good when the
other may not be possessed, After the bark is re-
moved, the trunks should be washed thoroughly
with preparation Of whale-oil soap and water,
say In proportion Of pound Of the soap to four
gallons Of water II can be applied To large trees
with hickory broom or n stiff whitcwash brush,
and to small trees, with the hand scrub brush
Sickly trees, which at this season be easily
detected by being covered with species Of fungi
or perhaps, more properly, peculiar nscctiverous
depnsit-should be scrubbed sn as to completely
romove this The mixture will Of itself benefit
the tree, while the removal from the stem of all cx-
ttaueOus and injurious substances will give Ia il
new health and yigor the ensuing seasnn in somo
instances to surprising extent. When whale
oil soapis not obtanable, lev must be used: but
it should not bo very strong, or il might be in-
iurous tn the roots of the tree il applied plentfuly
and the tree small

OIL for FsrcservImg Cldcr.

When a barrel Of cider is tapped Il grows hard;
that is, more and more acid, until it gets too hard
to drink, il Il is kept long on tap. This Is oc-
casloned by the air, which fills the cnsk above the
cider, as saon Ms IL is drawn out. Tho air cannot
be excluded, even if the cask were ar.light, be-
cause the cider will not ruin from the tap if there
is no mir to press ii out. II the cider is exposed
long 10 air, II will become vinegar. In fact, the
wSy'td make vinegar Of cider is to expose it to
air as much as possible. To prevent tho cider on
tap from becoming acid, it is recommendud as
soon as one or two gallons nre drawn out to pour
into the bung hole about half pint of clear sperm
oil, or sweetol f preferred, 1t should be warm
when pourcd in, and twill spread in thin coat
over the surface, aud keep spreading as the cider
is drawn out, aud thus exclude The mir, without
giving any taste of oil to the cider. This plan Of
preserving cider is worthy OF further attention.
We have It from knowing that oil -casks ARE the
best we know of for storing cider, importing no
fIavorb Sperm oil easks are more valuable for
cider casks than for any other purpose

A young turkey has q smooth leg and soft
