Why ORCHARDS DEcAy.-A cores
pondent Of tho IaHy Farmer says or
chards have died or become poor from
these causes
/. The exhaustion of the soil from
constant crop Of apples; from the blow
ing away by the wind of the leaves of
the tree which nature assigned to feed
the soil on which the tree stands; by crops
of grass, grain or roots constantly taken
from the same ground, and little return
of substance to it.
2. Another means of their destruction
had been in whipping the trees with poles
to remove their apples And still another
cause was the pasturage of cattle among
them.
3. To restore them, if any were left
worth restoring men must cease to crop
the ground under them, and must manure
them with vegetable mould, decayed
leaves, wood lime, ashes and salt A
compost formed Of these substances would
be excellent or one formed in part by
soap-suds and refuse Stops, chip dirt, turf,
&c.,-well rotted.
Then trim them in the month of June
Of all dead limbs and Of those that cross
and gall each other, and of all suckers
that feed upon trunk or limbs, not neces-
sary for top.

The Dropped Stitches,

Sitting alone in the corner,
In her own old easy-chair,
With the freight softly falling
On her beautiful gray hair.
Shes knitting away at a stocking,
Rounding the heel tonight
And nobody knits like mother,
Though age is dimmiug her sight
Glancing like silver, the needles
Backward and forward go,
And the rings on her thin white fingers
Are flashing to and fro.
There's the golden bau@ hat has never
Been of since her 81 .dng-day,
And the hoop oncr,ated with diamonds,
From Tom, when he went away.
Away ut the beck of fortune,
To the far-off China seas,
While his mother comprised his out bound ship
Dovord ri,ht an her knees
Pleading that wind and weather
For Tom might over be fair,
And that never the boy might wander

TO MANAGE REARING HoRsB-When-
ever you perceive "A horses inclination to
rear, separate your reins and prepare for
him. The instant he is about to rise
slacken one hand and bend or twist his
head with the other, keeping your hands
low. This bending compels him to move
a hind leg, and of necessity brings his
fore feet down Instantly twist him
completely round two or three times,
which will confuse him very much, and
completely throw him off his guard. The
moment you have finished twisting him
round, place his head in the direction you
wish to proceed, apply the spurs and he
will not fail to 60 forward.

A GREAT RELIRF-Since the papers
have 80 widely circulated the story that
the tomato worm is fatally poisonous,
great anxiety has been felt by old maids
and nervous housewives lest terrible
calamity befall them, and they have not
only carefully avoided tomato patches,
but have cautioned the gardener, the
kitchen girl, and all the children to keep
at a safe distance from these ugly green
worms with poisonous stings. But here
comes comfort from a man of science.
Mr.. Walsh, practical entomologist,
who has studied worms most thoroughly,
says q scarcely supposed that anybody
would for moment believe such silly
nonsense; but as | learn that greatmany do
actually believe it, take this opportunity
to state that the whole story is fabricated
out of whole cloth The horn in the
tomato worms tail is not sting, neither
can it penetrate the human flesh, and
even if it did there is no poison bag at
tached to it, so that the result would be
no more serious than a wound from
needle"

BOYNTONS ELEVATED OVEN RANGE

This new and beautiful Range, which has just
been completed, is now offered to the public as the
most complete, convenient and desirable Elevated
Oven Range in the market and is the result OF long
experience in the manufacture and setting of Cook
ing Ranges and we do not hesitate in recommend
ing it the nearest to perfection of any Elevated
Oven Range in the country.
We will enumerate some of the peculiar advan-
tages this Range possesses
First-It is more beautiful in form and design
than any other pattern.
Second-It has much larger hot place Surface
for Boilers and Stew Pans, affording larger
modations for Cooking purposes
Third-It has smaller Fire Chamber, and burns
less coal than any other pattern of Elevated Oven
Range, for the simple reason that the fire chamber
is entirely surrounded with fire brick instead of an
open CRATE in front and q water back in the rear,
forming two sides of the fire as in all other pattern
ranges both of which chill and deaden the fire and
detract largely from the power, and make it abso-
utely necessary to burn a larger amount of fuel.
Fourth-The body of this Range is higher than
other patterns, and is more like the French Kitch-
eners, making it much more convenient and easy
for the cook.
Fifth-The hot closets accessible,
placed in natural position (being in the body Of
the RANGE instead of above the ovens as in other
patterns.
Sixth-The ovens do not project over the boiling
surface so as to make it inconvenient in removing
the boilers, in other patterns.
Seyenth-There are better arrangements for con-
veying the steam to chimneys and controlling the
draft, than most ranges.
Eighth-The ovens bake more evenly, have
return hue over the top of the (which is the
point that most often fas,) thus securing perfect
baking oven the top as well as on the bottom.
Ninth-The fiues in this range are all complete in
themselves SO that it is unnecessary to form them
of brick, (Which absorbs the heat) and makes the
setting of them much more simple and sure.
Tenth-The water back be removed and the
plumbing work be repaired, if necessary with

PROPOSED TUNNEL FROM STATEN ISLAND
TO ELIZABETH.

PROPOSED TUNNEL FROM STATEN ISLAND
TO ELIZABETH.
A correspondent of the New York
Herald furnishes the following reasons
in favor of tunnel, connecting Staten
Island with this city
There is greater concentration OF
population and business in the vicinity
of Elizabeth than at any other point on
the dividing line between New York
and New Jersey, except Jersey City
Elizabeth has 25, 900 inhabitants New
ark, within seven miles, 127, 900. The
railroads and connecting lines touching
Elizabeth extend through the whole
country. They must all have an in
terest in reaching the deep waters OF
the harbor by shorter and more direct
route than they at present possess. The
market transportation and passenger
patronage of the $4,000 inhabitants of
Staten Island cannot be deemed too
insignificant for the notice of those in
terested in those numerous railroad
lines. To the inhabitants of Staten Is
land 1t must be of great benefit to have
all the productions of the country
brought to them directly, without
breaking bulk from the place OF pro
duction also to be able to go to any
part of the country direct without first
going to New York as the starting
point as they now do. Anew ard very
quick route to New York is obtained
From Elizabeth, by the- New Jersey
Central road across Newark Bay, New
York can be reached in about thirty
minutes. The facilities for making
tunnel at the point indicated are very
great. A long stretch of salt meadow
on the Staten Island side would faclli-
tate the descent to the tunnels so that
it need be scarcely perceptible. On
the Jersey side there are no serious
difficulties. The population OF Staten
Island is now increasing i'll rs rapid q
ratio as New York. and with such ad-
ded facilities of communication the in
crease would be much more rapid, and
there would be an immense increase III
the market value of real estate on the
island, as well as ut Elizabeth and its
vicinity.
The same correspondent says that he
measured the distance across Staten!Is
land sound from the old ferry dock to
Elizabeth city, and found the distance
only little more than 200 yards. II
the ordinary form of railroads should
be too great an impeachment for the
shipping this would be an admirable
opportunity for travelling.
