MICE AND YOUNG TREEs.-There has
been great deal said the last spring on
the injury done to small apple-trees during
last winter by mice, and the only remedy
that We have yet seen suggested is to stamp
the snow firmly around the trees. This is,
however, not believed to be any remedy at
all, and we doubtif it is of much advantage.
But ours is remedy" and we have tried
to impress the fact upon our cotemporaries
for the last fifteen years, but We should say
Judging from the ignorance in answering
correspondents what they must do to save
their trees, that it has received little atten-
tion from them.
1t is simply to bandage up the stems OF
the trees with any cotton or woolen cloths,
if OF old muslin with two or three wrappings,
and let the bandage go into the ground two
or three inches and eight or ten inches above
ground, and tic up. This should be re-
moved every autumn if necessary, unit! the
trees are large enough not to be injured,
Those who are in earnest for remedy will
try this and save their trees but it will be
too much trouble for others to devote a
couple of hours to this labor annually, and
they will rather run the risk with mice

for the farmer.
Wbs, Wbsa, sbonId be Harvested.

w
A great diversity of opinion exists as to
the best time to cut wheat, the degree OF
ripeness at which it should be harvested.
Experiments made in England upon the
same wheat, lst, when the straw was green !;
I'd, when the straw was changing color, Sd,
when fully ripe, gave the following results ::
J9a bushels per acre 234 bushels per acre;
22f bushels per acre. These experiments
show that the time of the second cutting Is
that which gives the largest yield, with the
least loss to the farmer. The wheat hnao
harvested will also yield larger quantity
of fine -four and less bran than ,na' cut car
lier or later, and proves tha' Tue siu'en Is
a--,,, 49,, s,.rch if the wheat stands
until fully ripe
tn. hest time to cut wheat is when the
..,.v il changing color at each end of the
stalk, the sap having then ceased to flow.
And the advantage obtained by cutting thus
early is that it prevents the shelling, which
cannot be avoided if cut when fully ripe.
Often during the process of cutting,
much as two and even four bushels are lost
to an acre, because the wheat is dead ripe.
This is no triiing loss, and might be made
to pay all the expense of harvesting.
The indications of ripeness in wheat are
few and simple. When the straw exhibits
a bright yellow color, half way or two-thirds
of the way up the stem, and the ear begins
to bend gently, the grain may be safely cut.
But as whole field does rot ripen evenly
or at the same time, if one goes through
the field and selects the greenest heads, and
the grains separate from the chaff by rub
bIng through the palm of the hand, they
are then out of the milky state and may be
reaped with safety.
Wheat is most valuable to millers when
it is cut partially green, for then the grain
has the most -four and the least bran. For
seed it should never be cut until fully ripe.
The use of seed wheat that is cut before 1t
is fully ripe is one great cause of smut IN
wheat. Smutty wheat itself is much Im-
proved, if not cut until fully ripe; and the
use of brine and lime will kill smut to a
great extent-C -Chamjcrsburg REPOSITORY

SELMA, ALA, May 4.-On the 18th of
March some young men of Eutaw,
Greene county, took part IN difficulty
between a man named Hill, of an infa-
nous character, and William Petigrew,
growing out of depredations by Hill
upon the property of PetIgrew, in
which Hill was roughly handled, but
not seriously hurt. These young men
were arrested by the military authori-
ties and tried by commission in this
city. The finding of the Court and the
action of General Meade have just been
made public. Four of the accused, who
have been in close confinement since
the trial began, were found not guilty
and released; Petigrew, Thos. Roberts
and j. Steel were sentenced to hard la
Dor at the Dry Tortugas for two years;
Frank Mundy, Hugh White, John Cal
lery and Samuel Strayhorn to hard Ia
Dor at the Dry TOrtugas for enc year.
The prisoners, haadcuiled, left this

and advised q retention of office until
after general expression OF pubic
opinion could be had upon the Irish
Church question. The leading mem
bers dissented, and during an ensuing
discussion, Stanley, Malmesbury and
Hardy declined to serve longer in the
Cabinet under D'Israeli. Mr.. D'lsraeli
then immediately sought an audience
with tho Queen, placing his resignation
in her bands, then returned TO the Cab.

the above members to agree to retain
their offices. Her Majest refused to

tinues. Parliament will be dissolved
