Usefulness of willows.

FARMERS should have patch of osier
willows growing near the homestead, as
they are exceedingly useful for many pur-
poses. Baskets of various sizes are needed
in the house, barn-yard and field, and when
there is plenty Of material they can be
made within doors in winter, when farm
work is not pressing. The Sdtir pimiRdliS,
or basket-wiliow, is best suited for this
purpose. Ofthe Purple willow, Sdlir put
pured, il has been said that "if there were
but one osier in existence, this would sup
ply more of the wants of willow workers
than any other one" Willow withes are
very useful in the garden, nursery, or
pleasure ground, as they supply an abund-
ance of ties for fastening vines or trellises,
tall-growing flowers 10 stakes, and also
serve for bands for the nurserymen. The
clear stems of two or three year old will
lows furnish poles for beans, etc, and when
split make hoops for vessels of various
kinds The Golden osier, (Saltr rttellijlG)
is very ornamental, even when entirely de-
nuded of foliage. 1t is also useful, for its
young shoots make good ties, and its me-
dium sized branches and twigs furnish pea,
brush, thing that is not always at hand
in some gardens
Willows win grow in great variety OF
soils, especially ii moist, but not protitably
in any unsuited to their habits. Drained
swamps afford fine sites for willow planta-
tons A deep, rich bottom of sandy loan
that is occasionally overtlOwed, is very
suitable for their growth. Any amount
of overfiowing, not in the growing
season, does no damage, but increases the
fertility. RichHess of soil Is important
great depth indispensable, and easy culture
desirable and profitable.- Westora RstIal

How to Make Spruce Beer.

AS THE season is at hand when pleasant
summer drinks, free from alcoholic in
tluence, are frequently brewed by the
housewife, or the we'll brought up
daughters, who ought to be taught little
of everything in the way of household
duties-wc append the following receipts,
which are claimed to be excellent
|. Take three gallons of water of blood
warmth, three half pints of molasses, a
tablespoonful of essence of spruce, and
the like quantity of ginger; mix well to-
gether with a gill of yeast let stand over
night, and bottle in the morning. 1t will
be in good condition to drink in twenty
four hours 1t is a palatable, wholesome
beverage
9, Those who prefer mead have only to
substitute honey for the molasses named
above, and for one-third the ginger use all
spice, Half the quantity of yeast will be
sufficient, and the bottling should occur
the second day instead of the next NOR
ming. 1t will be fit to drink in four days
after being bottled, and will keep for many
weeks. A small quantity of alcohol Is
formed during the fermentation, and this
prevents the acetous fermentation so
common TO spruce beer. The essence of
spruce is of course left out in the making
of mead. The alcohol formed from the
fermentation of honey resembles that found
in metheglin, while the alcohol formed from
the fermentation of molasses is rum Those
who imagine that they can make either
spruce beer or mead without entirely
forming any alcohol are mistaken but It
is present in so light proportion as not
to be. sensible to the most delicate tenn
perance nerves.

Exterminating House Flies.

A VERMoNTER gives to the Farmers
Institute his method of destroying these
pests by means of kind of net secured
in doorway, He says: II am enabled
by means of net made of proper mate
rial and suitable size, attached slightly to
door passage in a horizontal position, to
entrap all the flies in the house in few
minutes and scald or destroy them. /
find that flies can be driven out of room
through doorway with facility, and net
attached to the passageway receives all the
dies, | care not how numerous that are
driven from the room. The net being
light, with open mesheS, they will light on
the same and stay there till you drive all
the ilies in the room into the net f; then
quickly remove the net from the doorway,
inclosing the mouth in your hand shake
il, and the flies will quickly be gathered
at the rear end of the net, just like a
swarm of bees, and then destroy them by
dipping the bunch of flies in hot water or
soap suds, A few applications of the net
make the flies very few in number in and
about your house. BY using our contriv-
ance once or twice week, in any dwell
ing, during fly time, will give peace and
quietude that such as detest flies and YER
min as do will fully appreciate"

The Currant Worm.

AT the horticultural exhibition in
Rochester, recently, several gentleman
stated that the currant worm would not
disturb bushes under which coal ashes
were literally sprinkled. In confirmation
of this a correspondent of the Express OF
that city says: That to prevent the cur.
rant slug on currant bushes persons have
only to mulch thoroughly ali the ground
under the bushes with anthracite coal
ashes This should be done late in the
autumn or early in the spring of the year
before the bushes leave out, as the worm
that feeds on the leaves, after its growth
drobs off and goes into the earth imme
diately under the bushes. The grub, when
it comes up to change into fly, cannot
make its way through this coarse, sharp
gritty ash heap, and perishes there. Thu,
far my bushes are unmolested by fly oI
slugs this year, while last year they were

This deacon was accustomed for the space
offifty years to take his eleven O'clock and
four-o'clock refresher of that orthodox
beverage At these precise hours lie was
wont 20 go to the WELL and with the old
oaken bucket that hung from the antique
sweep draw pail of water to cool and
mOliiiy his morning and evening dram
In process Of timc full of years and hon.
ors, the deacon was gathered tn his
fathers. But the well.swcep still lived I;
and such was the force of habit upon IT,
coupled with Its incapacity to forget any
thing II had once learned, that for long
years after the deacon was dead the wen
sweep continued 10 90 up and down so
regularly at eleven and four o'clock that
all the fools in the neighborhood set their
watches by IL, So it is with few of the
leaders of the Democratic party. Forget
ting that negro slavery and all its con
comitants, and the Calhoun dogma OF

praises with the regularity of his well

lowers keep step with the music
