Believing the free distribution OF
seeds. cuttings, &C., should be enccur-
aged, and that it might and will be
done to themutuaI benefit ofthe read
ers of the RurGJ World and wishing to
be included in the list of those engag-
ed in this cOmmendable work, I will
send on application, seeds of the Sugar
Maple, Black Ash, Honey Locust,
blackberry, and last but not least, the
Red Bud, (CerciS Cdaadesis), the most
beautiful of our early Towering orna-
mental trees.
The seeds of this tree should be
mixed with moderately moist sand OF
soil, and kept in 8 cellar or cool place,
free from severe frosts-and planted in
spring in gooOd rich soil, will make a
good growth the first year.
Thousands Of trees have been plant
ed the present year, by our prairie res
idents and land owners, for fuel, shell
ter, groves, ornaments, etc, and we
hope the coming year will find them
still more fully awake to their interests
in this matter. Persons wishing any
of the above seeds should enclose a
stamp or two to prepay postage, pack
ing etc. Would be pleased TO receive
from others tree seeds Or cuttings OF
varieties other than the above.

The above we find in the Rural

above will soon result in good. Let

How to Carve and Help at the
Table.


1t is considered an accomplishment
for a lady to know how to carve well
at her own table. 1t is not proper to
stand in carving. The carving knife
should be sharp and thin.
To carve fowls, (which should al
ways be laid with the breast upper
most place the fork on the breast,
and take off the wings and legs with
out turning the fowl; then cut out the
merry thought, cut slices from breast,
take out the collar bone, cut off the
side pieces, and then cut the carcase
in two. Divide the joints in the leg
of a turkey,
In carving a sirloin, cut thin slice
next to you, (it must be put on the
dish with the tenderloin underneath, }
then turn it and cut from the tender
lOin. Help the guests to both kinds.
In carving a leg ofmutton or a ham,
begin by cutting across the middle of
the bone. Cut a tongue across, and
not lengthwise, and help from the
middle part.
Carve a fOrequarter of a lamb by
separating the shoulder from the BIS,
and then divide the ribs.
To carve a Ioin of veal, begin at the
smaller end and separate the ribs.
Help each one toa piece of the kidney
and its fat. Carve pork and mutton
in the same way.
To carve a fllet of veal, begin at
the top, and help to the stuffing with
each slice. In a breast of veal, separ-
ate the breast and brisket, and then,
cut them up, asking which part is pre-
ferred.
In carving a pig, it is customary to
divide it and take off the head before
it comes to the table as to many per-
sons the head is revolving. Cut off
the limbs and divide the ribs.
In carving venison, make a deep in
cision down to the bone to let out the
juices, and turn the broad end toward
you, cutting deep in thin slices.
For a saddle of venisOn, cut from
the tail toward the other end, on each
side, in thin slices. Warm plates are
very necessary with venisOn and NUT
ton, and in winter are desirable for all
meats.-NdtiOndE A~grjdUJtUriSt.

We often hear farmers and others
in this country, say our land isso roll
.ir, 5gc need not talk Of draining
lands. This r q mistake. We have
thousnnds of acres of our best lands
that viii never be worth anything un-
til they are drained. Ope-half Of our
bottom lands must be ditch drained
before they can be made really useful.
Then again, we have lands that re-
quire understanding. The following
we clip from an exchange:
In numerous instances, Nature has
made all necessary provisions for cOn-
veying away surplus water at all sea-
| sons of the year. On the contrary,
/ where the subsoil is so compact that
] the pores Of the surface soil viii con.

viii be conclusive that q regular sys'

the soil can never be cultivated with
satisfactory profit, until all the Burp

There need be no apprehension tina

was not needed. Is no drain al draw

The Proper seasOntO Cut Tim


A letter from DR.. B. A. Wright. of
Maumee City, Ohio, appears in the
North Western Farmer, for November.
in which the Doctor states that after
several years Ofexperiments and obser-
walton, together with what he has
learned from others, be has arrived AT
the following conclusions:
To have timber last well, in all
circumstances, and to secure the most
heat material in fire-wOOd, the best
time to cut in his locality is during
September and October. Timber cut
in these months will be solid and firm:
the sap will mostly dry in the timber,
filling the interstics between the fbres
and grOwths, rendering the timber or
lumber heavy, shrinking or checking
very little, with avery tenacious fibre.
The sap is in so high a state of con-
c~entratiOn that the heat effects it very
little.
To have timber decay most rapidly
cut it in April, May, and June. This
is the Best time to deaden, or cut off
shrubs TO have the stUmps rot out
soon.
November, in some seasons and
places, would do well, and even De-
cember and January, would be better
than March, etc.
