WHEN THIS OLD HAT WAS NEW

Before this hat was made,
King George was on his throne,
Our fathers all were rebels then,
Ana fought for Washington;
The Tories cheered for Old King George
The revolution through,
And Dragged about their loyalty,
Ere this old hat was new.
When this old hat was new,
The sons of that base crowd,
Revived the cry of Loyalty
And beloved it aloud!
The Government our fathers made
For them would never do;
And they have torn its bulwarks down
Since this old hat was new.
When this old hat was new, inc Ias ei-
There was no public debt,
No greenbacks took the place of gold;

not remind our readers Of the i'm
portaace of carefully picking over

immediately all those specimens ia

But less attention is given to ventil-

irable. Every fruit room should be
furnished with at least one thermome-
ter, aud the temperature of the air
kept as near the freezing point as
practicable. When this care is OBJ
served, the fruit will keep more than
twice as long as where warm and
damp atmosphere exists in conse-
quence of never opening the windows.
A fruit cellar should have the win,
dows hung on hinges, SO as to be
hooked up at different heights, az
cording to the severity of the cold
outside. Hooks Of large wire may
be easily made of different lengths
for this purpose, or any other similar
arrangement made use of. The
amount of cold air which my be ad-
mitted, will vary much with different
cellars, but little pratice with a
thermometer will soon enable the
owner or attendant to regulate the
temperature with little trouble

Burberry Seed.

A correspondent recently inquired
where he could procure barberry
seed by the quantity. Another cor
respondent informs us thatit may be
had IN any quantity by sending to
the Wallingford Community, WalIing
ford, Conn. Wisconsin farmers should
send and take all they have. The
more we hear of the barberry as a
hedge plant, the more we think il is
the hedge plant for the Northwest
There is no danger in trying it on an
extensive scale. 1t can hardly fail
of making good living fence, and
even if it should not, the hedge will
be ornamental to any farm and cost
but little to start IT, The barberry
requires much less care in the way
of trimming than the Usage orange

hardy in every part of the North

in this region were bestirring them :.
selves in the cultivation OF hedges
and not wait till the timber is ahso
lutely exhausted or fencing material

fortune to fence farm. That time
is fast approaching and when it ar
