TnEn HINTs oN CoAL.-A common fault
is 70 Use too coarse wood for kindling, and
too much Of it, This, while it generally sue
c,cds in lighting the coal, leaves a bed CLASHES
below the cpu which interleres with the
draught unless ;aked out an operation which
always rotards tlecombustion Of ignited coal.
The wood should BE- of some rapidly burn
ing variety which gives a quick and high
heat, and should be fine. II should be 81
placed that the coal viii remain On the top
of it, and not fall through 60 the CRATE, leay-
ing the kindling on the top Of any part OF the
coal. The amount Of kiudlIns wood required
depends much upon the size Of the coal. \
common mistake Is to use too large sized coal
\ good rule, where stoves or furnaces have a
good draught, Is 70 use coal as small as can
be used Neutrality-suspicious. from It's sitting
TOO freely through the crate.
The practice Of putting ashes On the top Of
a fire % keep it, l. productive OF c!iukers.
d mp coal screenings are better. Ii coal
fire gets low, the quickest way TO extinguish
it is 70 rake It at the bottom. To preserve a
FIRE under such circumstances. little coal
should be placed on the fire, and when it has
caught, more may be added, and the tire rak-
ing deferred until it has got well ignited.
Wgen the fIe bricks have become burdened
with the clinkers which have fused and alb
herei, they may be cleaned by throwing oyster
or clam shclls INTO the fire box when the fire
is very hot, and allowing the ire to 90 out.
The c.inkers will generally cleayeo without
the use Of much force the next morning.
From two quarts TO one-haf peck will be
sufficient for most stoves, and the operation
can be repeated If some Of the clinkers still
adhere. ScGnt, American.

90 to Go cents per bushel Such state of things
is ruinOus. No man can grow wheat at such
prices and pay his expenses. Wages, in the
West, are necessarily high, SO much ground be-
ing sowed that must be harvested in season. II
is often the case that harvest hands command
double the price that the farmer can afford to
pay. When the wheat crop is the main depend
ence, the farmer is in bad way indeed if this
article takes such tumble as has marked its
operations this year.
If the Vermont boy will learn lesson from
what he hears and reads, and 60 to West to in
augurate a system of diversity in agriculture, so
far as he is concerned, mixing up with his grain
raising the growing of stock, the making of but
ter ard cheese. in a word have more than one
iron in the fire, he can not fail to be prospered.
At any rate, let him bear this in mind, that if
he goes West and buys land expecting to pay for
it by raising wheat, or if he takes homestead
expecting to make improvements upon it in the
same wsy, he lriH be disappointed
There is no reason why the dairy business
coul no, be prosecuted in those sections with
most satisfactory results. Butter and cheese al
ways command good figures and find ready
sale. Beef cattle are high, while the unoccupied
lands afford abundant and cheap pssturage. In
word, thorough New England farming would
put different aspect upon some portions Of the
West. Not that we are their superiors in energy
or industry, but because our system of Agricul-
ture, with its numerous sources of revenue, is
State to try their fortunes upon the prairies will
put into practice what they know has worked
successfully here, they will be exercised by a
sound discretion.

AGRICULTURAL.


The agriculturist cannot safely or probably
be man ofone idea That is to say, he csnno
turn his whole attention to the prosecution Of
one branch Of agriculture TO the exclusion Of
the rest. The reason for this is plain. If he
places his whole dependence upon one species Of
commodity or one kind Of grain, he IS stalking
too much upon a single issue. The farmer who
studies this question the most closely, who d.
vides his crops so that if one fails he may fall
back upon the other, is the one who stands the
best chance for prosperity. 1t is very true that
the general character Of New England pre-
cluies to great degree the prosecution Of
any one exclusive branch Of agriculture. We
cannot raise cotton, sugar, or many other things
that tend to create speciality in agricultural
pursuits. But the discussion Of this question
may not come smiss in a section that is constant
ly sending its representatives to such portions
Of cur country as are suffering serious pecunia-
ry embarrassment to-day, on account Of devot-
ing an almost exclusive attention to one branch
Of farming
The young men Of Vermont who are prepar-
ing to 60 West to engage in farming will do well
to study, pretty thoroughly, the signs of the
times They will do well to compare facts and
figures and see what course they will adopt, ere
taey DO anything. There has been, and is now,
great deal written about the inexhaustable
pr4iries, the depth. Of soil, the cheapness Of
lands, and the fortunes that await all those who
will brave the hardships of frontier life for
little season. In most instances, the leading
papers of the day have presented figures dem
onstrating the profits of wheat raising as argu-
meuts in favor Of Western migration. There is
no doubt but the prairie land of the West is the
strongest, naturally, and the best grain growing
sections in the United States. 1t is also true
that this very productiyeness is the occasion of
at present, most stringent condition Of their
money markets The trouble lies in this, trust
ing to the richness of soil almost every one has
engaged in the same branch of agriculture, and
in that e1clusively-namely, wheat raising. 1t
would do very well to depend upon wheat if they
were certain Of receiving moderately fair price,
because they grow immense quantities of it.
But to depend upon this alone, and then run
the risk of decline in the market, has been
and always will be losing business.

Destruction OF Trees b, Street ga

instinct in the roots OF plants or trees. As if
they had eyes to see, they bend AMI stretch in
the direction from which they can derive nutri-
ment; and wherever they can have free and easy
access 10 the soil and find food, there the num-
Der and thickness of the flaments are Argument

roots appear TO be cognizant Of the fact, and com
mcncc a struggle with the impacted soil, TO
reach the trench; and this fact explains how il
is that the roots of trees are destroyed by gas
The trees upon the sides Of streets are placed in
ha-d soil, and when the trench is dug for the
gas pipes and tie earth returned, the roots in
stinctyey push for the trench apoint Of relieor
where fool can be more easily secured. We have
seen gas pipes after having lain for several years,
perfectly covered with a network of roots pro
ceelins from the neighboring trees. Now, if
there is the slightest leak in the line Of pipe the
gas moves in the direction Of least resistance,
and that is along the trench in which is placed
the pipe; hence the tender spongioles are pre-
santed with strange and poisonous food, the gas
Is absorbed and the tree dies.

A Visit From St. Nicholas.
BY CLEMENT c. MOORE.

Twas the night before Christmas when all througl
the house,
Not creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were all hung by the chimney wit
care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar plums darced in their heads
And Mamma in her kerchief and in my cap,
Had Just settled our brains for long Winters nap
When out on the lawn heard such a clatter,
sprang from my bed to to sec what was tn
matter;
Away TO the window Few like fash.
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast Of the new-fallen snow,
Gave the lustre Of uid day to objects below,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer,
With little old driver, so lively and quick,
knew in a moment it must be ST. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled and shouted and called them by
name;
"Nov, DasAer! nor DBieeri nor PraHee' and
yireH!
On Coa1if on CUPID on D0ndr and Bitten
To the top Of the posrch, to the top Of the wall.
Now dash away dash away dash away all"
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly
When they meet with an obstacle mount to the
sky;
Soup to to the housetop the coursers they few.
With the sleigh full Of toys and st. Nicholas too,
And then, in a twinkling heard on the roof
The prancing and paving Of each little hoof,
As drew in my head and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with bound.
He was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were al furnished with asho, and
SCOT,
bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And be looked like pedler just opening his pack
His eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples how
merry
His checks were like roses. hisno like a CHEEKY
HIS dear little mouth was drawn up like bow,
And the heard Of his chin was as white as the snow
The stump Of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke It encircled his head like wreath.
He had a broad face and little round belly,
That shook when he laughed Ike a boWlful Of
Jelly,
he WAS chubby and plulnp, right Jolly old ELF
And laughed when I saw him in spite ofmysef3
wink Of his eye and a twist Of his head,
Soon gave me to know ] had nothing TO dread.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work.
And filed all the stockings then turned with 3
jerk,
Aud laying his fingers aside Of his nose,
And giving nod up the chimney he rose.
lie sprsng HE sleigh to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down Of thistle
But heard him exelanl, ere he drove ont of sight.
