Passing along the street, the other day, the
writer curiosity was excited by seeing a small
house on the sidewalk. Was it 4 model of some
famous mans domicii, or had it been used in
apolitcal procession, or figured at n county
or State fair Or was it put there as a sample
of how houses should be built ? On eNamna-
ton the writer found that the roof, sides and
floor were covered with compacted paper or
pasteboard, saturated with tar and imperyious

To Air q Bed

| saw the following some time ago
in a magazine, which L have tried as
a bed-warmer, or as it is called, "air-
ing a bed, - and it proved excellent.
/ think it can be fully recommend
ed:
"Housekeepers are highly censur-
able for not keeping their beds well
aired, dry and ready at all times for
use. Many are the deaths that have
resulted from the improper use of
damp beds, to say nothing of colds,
asthmas, bronchitis, &c. and their at
tendant evils. Too much care can
not be given to this department of
household management. When a
stranger or friend is about to visit
many families, what process of air
ing one sees going on with beds and
bedding; all right enough in its
place, but generally such hasty dry
ings are not always etfectual, for
spare rooms and spare beds are pro-
verbally damp, and not easily dried.
An old housekeeper suggests the fol-
lowing very simple and unfailing
Fill a stone bottle holding
from one TO three gallons with boil
ing water, securing the cork by ty-
ing it down safely with several
of stout linen, to prevent
{ .Uher moisture or steam from escap-
lng, place it in upright position up
on the mattrass, surrounded by
bolster and pillows, and over these
place the bed with the feathers, as
far as possible Immediately around
the bottle, leaving it uncovered to
allow the dampness to pass off. The
bottle will keep in great warmth for
ty-eight hours in severe weather and
need not be replenished except in
special cases"
The only difficulty about it is to
stonejug handily holding
as much even rs two gallons, except
ing by those living in or within a
distance of n city, so as in
visiting it one can be purchased and
sent by express"

The Apple Tree Dying Out.

We somewhere read recently the
statement made by writer who
spoke as though lie was posted in
the subject, that the apple-tree wss
steadily dying out in the United
States. What he offered as the ba-
sis of this statement we do not now
remember, but suppose it was the
knowledge that in certain portions
of the country, where the population
has become dense, the value OF
ground high, apple-growing was neg
lected. All fruit-trees will die out
unless the supply is kept up by re-
minds eye several splendid orchards
that formerly We're loaded down with
fruit, where now are only a few
struggling old trees that refuse to
die, and which bear only occasional
ly few knotty specimens. The
premises on which they stood
changed hands several times since
the original trees were planted, and
none of the new occupants thought
it worth while to make new orcha ards
or keep up the old ones, and the con-
sequence is aS we state.
An orchard will not last forever,
and unless new ones are started they
must die out. But even when this
is done they are rarely properly pro-
tected and cared for. Formerly,
when grated fruit" as it was call
ed, was planted out, il was attended
with far more assiduity than any
thing else on the farm. New, how
ever, the reverse is the fact, and we
think we can say with correctness
that three-fourths of the orchards
which are now set out are neglected.
The trees become stunted or iii some
way injured, and never recG yer from
it, and the result is that farmers be-
come discouraged and give up fruit
raising as Improbable. Beside, it
is a crop SO long to be waited for,
that in this facial least when the
direct influence of our large cities is
felt-few are willing to submit to it.
Hence fewer apples and more of 9th
er productions.
We are far, however, from believ
ing that the apEle-tree is dying out
iii this country. On the contrary We
have the best evidence To satisfy us
that apple-growing is annually in
creasing. In the State of Ohio the
yield of this fruit WAS in 1867, ten
millions OF barrels, and in 1868 near
ly as great. Aud this fact will be
found to pervade all the newer
States, where among the first things
a farmer does after purchasing land,
is to plant an orchard German

MEANING CoLTS.-I put the colt
in Il good pasture, and II L can do so,

quainted with. But, ut any rate,

then they both feel as if they were

take the mare into the colt twice a
day, for two or three days and let ii
suck. After that 1 let il suck once a
day, for two or three days; and, If
necessary to dry up the mare, | will
perhaps let it suck once or twice in
