IUMs.-Aquariums are now too well
understood not to be in fair way to become
essentials in the room-gardening of all per-
sons of taste. Growing plants, fishes and
water reptiles are placed in the same globe
or tank Of water, and the gasses which the
fish reject are the food Of the plants while
the plants, on the other hand, prepare the
elements necessary for the health of the fish.
By this beautiful principle of reciprocity,
both plants and animals remain in perfect
health, without the water scarcely ever being
changed, A tank for plants and animals
might form the base Of pretty parlor orna
ment, central portion consisting Of q case

How JAPANESE Train CUcUMBERs.-The
manner of cultivating the cucumber was TO
me somewhat novel, and it appeared to me in
some respects superior to our mode. Instead
Of sowing the seed in hills, it is sown in dou-
bic rows, as peas are frequently done, only at
greater distance apart, both between the
plants, say three feet between the first. The
vines are supported by placing the brushwood
along each row, forming an arch, over which
they may grow. The advantages this meth
cd presents are, that the fruit is always clean
and straight, of uniform color on all sides,
and can be gathered without incuring danger
of injury to the vines by trampling on them

In common use in this section, and if you
find any better sugar than is made in Brook
field, 1 would like to share with you in

trees in a circle will girdle the tree in time.
Undoubtedly correct. But let us take tree
one foot in diameter, and allow an inch of
boring each year, and you girdle the tree in
about thirty-six years, provided it did not in
crease at all in circumference. But in that
time the tree may become two feet in diameter.
In that case you may 60 round again. Then
take tree two feet in diameter and put two
tubs to a tree and two spouts to a tub, and
you girdle the. tree in about eighteen
years but in that time it will not have half
doubled its diameter. Now sir, | think we
are becoming set of robbers, in one sense.
We are taking all we can get, and return
nothing and if we go on half a century
longer in this unIighteous manner, we shall
find our ship wrecked on the shoals of want

PACKING FOR STEAM JOINTS Mr.. j. A.
Miller has remedied difficulty long expert
enced by engineers in keeping team-joints
tight for long time, without expensive
rn bber packing, by placing thin sheet of
muslin between the fanches of the pipes
which are previously painted. The m uslin
is receptacle for the paint, holding it in
place and preventing the steam from blowing
it out, which is usually the case, when paint
alone is used. The paint preserves the cloth
and thus makes permanent packing.

To MEASURE GRAIN.-It is convenient to
farmers and CHOPPERS at this season to have
an easy and correct rule by which to meas
ure corn in cribs. Here is one Having
leveled the corn in the crib measure the
length, breadth, and depth, and multiply
them together, and deduct from the product
one fifth and you have the number of bush
els in the ear-for shelled corn, take one
half of this TO be strictly correct, add half
a bushel for every one hundred. Farmers
who are fond of ciphering can test the cor
rectness of this rule by taking 1927 solid in
ches for a foot, and 2l50 inches in bushel
and see that the latter is nearly one fifth
larger than the former.

REPORT on THE CROPS OF 1S67.--The
monthly report OF agriculture for January,
contains tables of the average yield per acre
of the principal farm crops of 1867. The
latter show, with average home prices at the
present time about the same range as in Jan
uary, 1867. in New England, a reduction in
the West and decrease in the South, except
in Mississippi. Louisiana and Texas \
marked reduction, is shown in Georgia, the
Carolinas and Virginia in wheat, and in the
Carolinas as to corn. The range of potatoes
is higher in all the Atlantic states. and gen
orally in the West, excepting Kansas and
Nebraska, the greatest Western increase be-
ing noted in Illinois. where the everage yield
was but sixty bushels per acre, and the avar-
age price is ) 30 per bushel. The reports
concerning acreage of winter wheat, indicate
no material change compared with
last year. In New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Indiana, there appears to be slight de-
crease, and an increase in Michigan and some
of the Southern states, amounting in North
Carolina to forty per cent. 1t the beginning
Of winter the appearance Of the crops was not
generally quite so favorable as usual A
prominent feature of the report is an article
presenting special statistics of farm resources
and products for the Eastern and Middle
States, giving comparison with 1860 in
prices of farms and of wild lands, and interest
ing facts as to resources in timber and min
erals, special crops, the cost of pasturage,
&c.

g dark and waxy sugar One great reason
| suspect is, he does not keep his tubs and
other fxlngs clean, for the sap is alike free
from impurlty in all trees. L have an orch
ard on ground such as he describes, and
another four hundred feet higher and with
the same care the sugar is of the same quail
ty. L have tubs older than he speaks of,
yet | had orders last season for this springs
sugar. My practice is to scald and scour the
tubs both before and after using. The barrels
too, should be scalded and cleaned. This last
may be done by putting a chain inside and
shaking the barrel well. Care should be
taken tiiaC smoke does not come above
sap. 1t is my habit to strain the sap through
flannel as it is gathered, and it should be
boiled down as soon as possible. Cleansing
the syrup, when boiled down, is another i'm
portant item in making good sugar.
LAW vs. RsEs-The following we cutfrom
the IrabeAer of March 4th
\ curious decision was reached yesterday
by the people of w enham, in town-meeting
assembled. They voted, two to one, that no
bees should be kept in the town 1t is doubt
full whether the town has the authority to do
this, any more than to prohibit the keeping
of ''other kinds af cattle" and if it has, the
next thing is to catch the bees and prove
where they came from.
This vote is said to have orr glnated in this
wise Mr.. John. j. Gould has an apiary of
about one hundred hives and only acre and
a half Of land. The townsfolk have sagely
concluded that an acre and a half of land can
not support hundred hives of bees. Those
bees have therefore been poaching the
territories of other people, and it is said that
they have swarmed frequently into houses
and driven the inmates out
In one case, it is asserted, they stole guam
tity of sugar from an upper room, the win
dow of which was open, and nobody dared to
enter till they were gone. But worse still,
some Of the gentle sex, engaged in preparing
odoriferous sweets over kitchen stove, were
incontincntly put to flight by sudden on
slought Of winged battaliohs, and only re
turned when the enemy, finding the proposed
spot too hot to handle, had withdrawn their
invading forces. These and similar the
stories. We connot say how much magnified
they are. or whether some of the alleged mul
ttudes may not have been bees in buckram :;
but it is very evident that something lively
must have been abro d in the town to induce
order loving citizens to consider the subject t
all in their annual town meeting.

To REMOVE INDIA INK.-Many men who,
in their youth, were SO foolish to permit
the marking of their persons with India ink
have deeply regretted the act. and wished in
vain for come measures of removing the dis

Some newspaper writer says that if the parts
are blistered with a plaster. littl larger

for a week with an ointment, it may be
dressed to get well, and the skin
grows, the tattoo will disappear.

AsuEa FOR APPLE-TREEs.-Mr. Jonathan
Lawrence of ST. Johnsbury, in a communica-
ton to the Waterman and Reflector, thus
speaks OF tht benefits derived from a top dres
sing of ashes for his fruit trees
Some ten years ago l came in possession of
a farm on which stood large apple tree, (which
was at that time about sixty years old, accord
ing to the i" tradition of the fathers - which
bore few bushels of small, scurvy, bitter rot
apples every other year. Having read that
ashes was good for fruit trees. spread some
five or SIX bushels of strong house ashes I'M
der the tree in the spring. That season the
fruit was nearly double that of the previous
year; and the second year gathered fifteen
bushels of smooth, sound apples from said
tree. 1t bears less fruis every other year
but l have not gathered less than fifteen
bushels every alternate year since spread
the ashes under the tree l have used ashes
as top dressing for fruit trees every year
since, with very nearly the same result.

MEDICINAL QUALITIES OF PUMPKINs.-At a
recent discussion in the New York Farmer
Club, correspondent writes Of the virtues
of the pumpkins. | will give you a simple
vet valuable cure for inflammatorv rheuma-
tism. A woman's was swelled to an
enormous size and painfully infamed. A
poultice was made of stewed pumpkins, which
was renewed every fifteen minutes, and in a
short time produced perfect cure. The
fever drawn out by the poultices made them
extremely offensive, they were taken off.
| know a man cured of severe Inflammation
of the bowels by the same kind of application.
think such subjects as this proper for dis
cussion in a farmers club
Dr. Snodgrass-I have no doubt pumpkins
make good poultice. Whatever holds
warmth best is the most suitable.
DIR. Smith-in my travels is Syria found
pun kin seeds almost universally eaten by
the people on account OF their supposed med
icaI qualities not because they are diuretic,
but as an antidote against animalcula which
infest the bowels. Tney are sold IN the streets
as apples and nuts are here. 1t is medical
fact that persons have been cured of tape
worm by the use Of pumpkin seeds. The
outer skin being removed, the meats are
bruised in a mortar, into oily, pasty mass.
1t is swallowed by the patient after fasting
some hours, and it takes the place of chyle in
the stomach, and the tape worm lets go its
hold on the membrane and becomes gorged
probably torpid. Then large dose of castor
oil is administered, and the worms eject
ed before they are able to renew their hold.
