Farmers wives.

The reading of essays by the ladies is
one of the exercises which give life and
interest to the meetings of the Springfield,
Vermont, Farmers Club. From one of
the essays by Mrs. Daniel Rice, published
in the Vermont Farmer, we copy the fol-
lowing paragraphs:
Did you ever think of the amount of
thought requisite to plan three meals a
day for three hundred and sixty-fve days
in succession? To prepare enough and
not too much, and for those living at
distance, from the village, to remember
that the stock of -four, sugar, tea, etc.
etc, is replenished in due time. DO you
ever think of the multitude of her cares
and duties? She must rise early to pre-
pare breakfast or oversee it. Perhaps
there are children to wash, dress and feed
or to get ready for school with their dim
pers. There is baking, sweeping, dust
ing, making beds, lunch for the men, may
be-dinner and supper to be made ready
at the proper time-the washing, starch
ing. folding and ironing of clothcs-thc
care of milk, including the making of but
ter and chcese-and the inevitable wash
ing of dishes. In autumn there is the ad-
ditonal work of picking, preserving, can
ming of fruit, drying apples, boiling cider,
making apple sauce, with the still more
unpleasant task which falls to her lot in
bptchering time. Then there is haying,
harvesting, sheep shearing, etc. when
more help is needed, bringing an increase
of her lahQrs. Twice year brings house
cleaning. by the way, of all the foes a
housekeeper has to contend with, dirt is
the greatest. She may gain complete
victory and think to repose upon her 1aur-
sis after her semi-annual engagements
but it is only temporary. The enemy soon
returns, and even daily skirmjshing does
not keep it at bay,
There is the mcnding too. Sewing ma
chimes are great blessings, but they can't
set in patch or darn stockings. | do not
mention these things by way of complain
ing of woman's lot, in general, or asking
for her any rights which she does not pos
sess | don't know as there is any RENE
dy in the present state of the world. Ii
seems to be one of the evils of life which
must be borne as we bear other ills-but
what do ask is due appreciation of the
important part that woman acts, and a
concession that her labors, mental ant
physical, are as great, all things consider
ed, as those of the other sex. Women art
not SO childish that little sympathy nov
and then or acknowledgement of their eff
forts and sacrifices makes them imagin,

The Ripening Corn.

How sweet 10 walk through the wheatlands
brown,
When the teeming fatness of the Heaven drops
down.
The waving crop with its bursting ears
A sea of gold on the earth appears;
No longer robed in dress of green
With tawny faces the fields are seen;
A sight more welcome and joyous far
Than hundred blood-won victories are.
Beautiful custom was that of DID,
When the Hebrew brought with joy untold,
The earliest ears of the ripening corn,
And laid them down by the affairs horn
When the priesthood waved them before the Lord
While the Giver of Ilarvests all hearts adored
What gifts more suited could man mpart
To express the flow of his grateful heart?
A crowd awaits meath the cottage caves
To cut the corn and to bind the sheavcs;
At length is heard the expected sound
Put in the sickle, the corn is Drowned;
And the reapcrs go forth with as blithe soul
As those who joined the Olympian goal
And sorrowlcss hearts and voices come
To swell the shouts of the harvest home.
And there is Reaper on earth well known,
Whose deeds are traced on the-burial stone
lie carries sickle more deadly and keen
Than e. er on the harvest fields was seen
He cuts down the earliest ears in spring,
As well as the ripest that time can bring
The tares he gathers to flames are driven
The wheat is laid in the garner of Heaven.

The CurculiO.

Editors Baltimore Gazctte-I noticed
an extract from your paper, in which you
say the plum trees are nearly destroyed
by the curculio, &c.
Some years ago, gave a friend few
plum trees. He transplanted them near
his house. They grew, and in few years
! bore fruit abundantly, but after several
years the black wart appeared spread over
the trees, and so injured all the trees but
one that he cut them down. was at his
house at this time, and the one tree SEEM
ed comparatively perfect. Upon examina-
tion it appeared that large nails had been
driven into this tree for the purpose Of
fastening ON clothes lines. l concluded
at once that the iron nail had saved this
tree. Upon returning home l drove a
nail into each of my plum trees. One OF
them was nearly covered with the wart,
but I could never discover any new appear
.anGe Of yart after that year in this tree
1t revived and bore fruit for many years.
On my other trees there is now no appear
ance of wart, nor has there been any since
the first year after drove the nails into
the trees. After my young trees be-
come of sufficient size drive nail into
each of them, and they are now in good
condition l cannot find any appearance
of wart on any of them.
The curculio can be efectually de troyec
by spreading half peck of salt under eacl
tree in March with you, in April with us
Salt is destructive to insects. Sea weeC
is also destructive to the curculio, if it bt
spread under the trces-but it must b,
done generally, and in all adjoining
grounds on which plum trees are growing
One-half bushel of salt spread on tn,
ground under a common size plum tire,
will not injure it, but promote its growth
