Never Raise Child by the Hand or
Wrist.

1t is common practice of nurses and
narents to grasp children by single hand
OF wrist, and lift them bodily, as in step
ping oT,- cutters, streams, etc. Occasion
ally a cmld IN seized by the hands and
swung around Win. GREAT force. the body
being held nearly at nsIt angles This
feat is not always followed b. immediate
i'll effects, but it is liable to result - mot
serious injury. At this period of life, Ne
ends OF the long bones are united to the
shafts by cartilage, which renders them
weak and very liable to be distorted by
force. There are three of these bones in
the arm: one between the shoulder and
elbow, and two between the elbow and
wrist The arm of the child is, therefore,
very weak. When extension is made at
the hand, the force is not expended upon
long, firm bones, but rather upon bones
broken at several points, and very loosely
united. A small force, far less than is re-
quired to fracture fully formed bone,
will separate the cartilaginous portions, or
permanently bend them. There is also
another form of injury which may occur
at the instant. OF this l have seen several
examples. 1t consists in slight displace-
ment of the cartilages in one of the joints,
either the wrist or elbow, attended by pain,
swelling, and tenderness. The joint is
fixed in a semi-dexed position, and the
little sufferer will not allow it to be moved
or even handled. 1t can be easily rectified
by surgeon, by forcible flexion and ex-
tension. Finally, by lifting child in this
the ligamenis about the joints may
be extended, and this will weaken the
joints, and this weakness may remain as
permanent disability.-An Eminent Ply

Plant Trees.

What more uninviting sight to one in
search of residence than long rows of
city houses bare of shade! And especially
can any thing be more desolate than a
country house set on hill with no fruit
or shade trees to temper the rays of the
burning summers sun, and enliven
and beautify the spot which some
merchant, mechanic, or would-be- farmer
has chosen for residence? Dwellers in
the country! spectators in suburban lots
and villas! this is intolerable. Plant
shade-trees before you invite us to visit
your lots-plant trees abundantly, fruit
and ornamental, evergreen and deciduous,
before you ask us to buy or live in your
houses. Finally, let farmers, and every
man or woman who owns lot, plant trees
on the roadside, on the lawn, near every
building; they will grow while you are
sleeping, and pay larger percentage on
the cost than any other investment. And
not only plant trees, jewellers in both city
and country, but after they are planted,
take care of them, and they will grow into
beauty and proft-giving invaluable pro-
lection from sultry heats and wintry
storms, and increasing in value as the
years roll around Rest assured that your
children and your children's children will
hold you in grateful remembrance for this
provision which you make for pOsterity,
even if you do not live to be sOlaced by
the beauty and shade of the trees which
your own youthful hands planted. Work

How to Keep Pastures In Good Condi-
ton.

1T is with pasture as with man, the
income must be greater than the expenses,
or it grows poor. Crops are the expenses
1t is quite possible to make the surface of
any soil unprOductive and Improbable, by
carrying off more than is put on. Pas
turing with cows that are yarded at night
does this. Sheep or beeves that remain
upon the land, on the contrary, return
more than an equivalent in manure, and
keep the land improving. Where plaster
meets want of the soil it may be kept
improving by sowing broadcast bushel
and half to the acre every spring, and
feeding off the grass. Many farms in the
grazing districts in the interior are kept
up mainly by plaster and feeding Some
of them will carry bullock to the acre.
Other lands need lime, and the lime brings
in clover, and this plant by the large
drafts it makes upon the subsoil' and
the atmosphere always improves the
pasture. In other districts ashes are
accessible at reasonable rates, and they
are always reliable top-dressing. The
effects are visible on some soils in increased
crops of grass, for twenty years. Cheap
ashes will keep up any pasture, pay their
cost, and leave profit. So will home
use it. Along the sea-board the old pas
lures need nothing better than creek-mud,
and the weeds thrown upon the shore.
Too often these are allowed to rot on the
sand for want of labor to gather them
Irrigation is available in other cases, and
where the waters of brook can be turned
over pasture nothing more will be need
ed to keep it in good condition. Chang
ing soils Oftentimes has wonderful influ-
ence. Sometimes on the same field of
twenty acres there will be sandy or gravel
ly knobs nearly bare of vegetation, and
hard clay or muck in swales. A tOp-dress-
ing of the sand would pay on the swales,
and nothing could be better for the knobs
than the muck or clay. Our old pastures
to be kept profitable must have something
done for them. 1t will not pay to devote
ten acres to single cow.-American Agri-
culturist

How to Save Corn Fodder.

MUCH of the value of corn slower is
destroyed by careless handling, even in
the districts where they store it for food.
This is especially true of the corn that is
cut up by the ground, and put in shocks
to cure. The curing process goes on safe
ly while it remains in the shock, but the.
husking begins while the stalks are yet
green at the bottom, and the fodder is i'm
mediately stacked or carried to the barn,
and stored in bulk. 1t soon heats and
moulds. If, after husking, the stalks are
bound Immediately in bundles, of con-
venient size for handling, and put into
large shocks of thirty or forty bundles,
set up endwise, and capped with straw,
they will cure without moulding, and make
excellent fodder. Or the bundles may be
taken directly to the barn, or to an open
shed, and stored in the same way. The
air has free circulation through the inter-
stices of the bundles, and the moisture is
carried Off Well-cured corn fodder is
nearly equal in value to hay, and the
extra labor of making into bundles will
pay.-Amey1cdn Aqricultarist.

A Woman Wins at a Jumping Match.

Several weeks ago number of the
young people who reside in the neighbor-
hood of Savin Hill, in Dorchester, came
together and on the spur of the moment
improvised jumping match for small
purse between Mike Flynn and young
man named Murphy. In this match Muir
ply was badly worsted, whereupon his
sister Kate, a bright, strong and sprightly
girl of about twenty summers, became
very indignant, and gave out to her CON-
panions that she could out lump Mike
Flynn if her brother could not. Katie
became very earnest in her asseverations,
and TO satisfy her match was made for a
purse of $50, and greatly to the surprise
of her friends when the match came off
she won it.
This greatly shamed the Flynn jumpist
and his friends, so Miss Kate was chal-
lenged to another contest, for $500 side,
which came off at Savin Hill yesterday
afternoon. The affair attracted quite a
crowd to witness the sport, not less than
400 people being present. Kate made her
appearance dressed in flowing red flannel
drawers, a Ia Bloomer, with white merino
skirt, and a pair of pretty CATERS tightly
laced to her feet. Mr.. Flynn was dressed
nearly in the same manner. The ar
engagements being all completed, the exer-
cises began, Flynn leading off with leap
of 10 feet and 3 inches. KaGe then took
her position, cheered on by her friends,
and made the leap, clearing distance of
10 feet AZ inches. This created great ex-
element in the crowd. and nerved up
Katie for something still better The
second leap was called for, when Flynn
came up TO the scratch and cleared 10 feet
z inches. This was very long jump,
and the Flynn felt greatly encouraged.
But Katie was again introduced, her friends
cheering and feeling confident that she
would beat. Carefully she placed her lit
tie CATERS on the line, and, straining every
muscle in her well-knit frame, made the
leap, clearing 10 feet % inches. This
was too much for her competitor, and,
amid the plaudits of the whole company,
Katie retired with her purse of $500. AS
this affair has created great excitement in
the neighborhood, it is possible that Katie
may be started for another match.-BostOn

o Patrons OF Husbandry.

THIS Order was organized by number
of distinguished Agriculturists, of various
States of the Union, at Washington, in
December, 1867, and since then has met
with most encouraging success, giving as
surance that it will soon become one of the
most useful and powerful organizations in
the United States. Its grand object is not
only general improvement in husbandry,
but to increase the general happiness,
wealth and prosperity of the country. 1t
is founded upon the axioms that the pro-
ducts of the soil comprise the basis of all
wealth; that individual happiness depends
upon general prosperity, and that the
wealth of country depends upon the
general intelligence and mental culture of
the producing classes. The st. Paul PSo-
neer says; ave understand that as soon
as the harvest is secured, and during the
fall and winter, it is the intention of 0. ii.
Kelley, Secretary of the National Grange,
to visit the prominent towns in the south
ern part of Minnesota, and the leading
points in Illinois and Iowa, for the pur-
pose of organizing subordinate Oranges,
appoint deputies and generally supervise
the establishment of the Order. WemOst
cheerfully commend both him and the Or
der to the editorial fraternity, and do so af-
ter an intimate personal acquaintance OF
years with him, and familiarity with the
interior of a Grange. Farmers are adj
vised to take advantage of his visit to or
ganize and start right in the work, as there
is no one in the country more familiar
with the ritual than Mr.. Kelley"
