How to Dig Up Timber-Trees.

THE butt-end of large timber-tree is
usually much firmer and tougher timber
than the wood which grows thirty or forty
feet, or even twenty-five feet from the
ground. When cutting down large
white oak, fer example, the timber LETT In

means of a large kerr, had the tree been
dug up, would have made more than five
dollars worth of the very choicest kind OF

into plank or scantling for farm nipple
ments, the amount OF hrst-rate 1ouQH LIN
Der saved by digging up the tree would be
equivalent, in dollars and cents, TO much
more than the extra expense OF felilng the
tree by digging itup. -.
Every skillful mechanic understands That
the extreme butt-end of tough timber

valuable for any purpose than timber out
of the same tree farther from the butt-end.
For making whiff1etrees, neck-yokes, FORK

How H0stetter's Bitters Cure Dys-
pepSia.
THE WHOLE STORY IN NUTSHELL.


The office of the stomach is to convert the food
into a cream. like semi-fuid, called CHYME. This
is effected partly by the action of solvent, called
the gastric juice, which exudes from the coating
of the stomach, and partly by mechanical move
dissolving ailment. The CHYME passes from the
stomach into the duodenum, or entrance to the
bowels where it is subjected to the action of the
bile, and the nutritious portion of 1t converted
into a fluid called ChyIe, which eventually be-
comes blood. t
Now, it is evident that if the great solvent, the
gastric juice is not produced in sufficient quanti-
ty, or if the mechanical action of the stomach is
not sufficiently brisk, the first process Of digestion
will be but imperfectly performed. 1t is also clear
that if the liver, which plays such an important
part in changing the nourishing portion of the
chyme into the material of the blood is congested,
or in any unnatural condition, the second process
will not be thoroughly accomplished. The result
of the taoo failures is dyspepsia complicated with
bUi0usneSs. ..t5
The mode in which HOSTETTER'S BITTERS
operate in such cases is this they 1nv1gorate the
cellular membrane of the stomach, which evolves
the gastric juice, thereby insuring an ample suf-
They also act upon the nerves of the stomach,
causing an acceleration of the mechanical move
ment necessary to reduce the food to homoge-
neous mass. They also act specifically upon the
liver, strengthening it, and so enabling 1t to pro-
duce an ample and regular supply OF bile, for the
purpose of converting the nutritious particles oil
the Gimme into ChyIe, and promote the passage
through the bowels of the useless debris.
In this way HOSTETTER'S BITTERS cure dys-
pepsia and liver complaint. The explanation is
plain, simple, philosophical, and true.

ciety introduced a motion In favor
of the presentation of petition to
the State Legislature, in the name OF the
Society, praying for the repeal OF all legls-
lation for the protection OF the RoDln.
After an animated discussion, In which 1t
was shown that the Robin was not even
then without strong friends, the Society,
instead of adopting the motion, very WISE
ly voted to look into the matter Defore
they thus committed themselves, ana re-
ferred the whole subject OF the habits OF
the Robin to a select committee, who were
desired to make thorough Investigation.
Fortunately at the head of this committee
was placed J. W. P. jerks, Esq, OF Mid
dleboro, an ardent and Jealous friend OF
the bird. He entered upon his duties with
an alacrity and an interest, and completed
them with a fidelity and a thoroughness
that reflect upon him the highest credit.
The leisure hours of an entire year were
devoted by this gentleman to careful and
minute investigation OF the subject com
mitted to his charge. Day by day, and at
all hours of the day, he procured specl'
mems of the birds for the purpose OF care
fully examining the contents OF their seVe-
raj stomachs, for evidences OF the general
character of their food. Robins were thus

and from the more rural districts, apart
from gardens and orchards. Beginning
with the first week in March, 1858, these
examinations were continued, with more
or less frequency, until the same month OF
the succeeding year.
Combining ourselves here to such por-
tons of the results as may have direct
bearing upon the points we seek to es-
tablish, we find that Professor jerks has
demonstrated, among other things, that
during the whole, of March, April, and
May not particle of vegetable matter of
any kind whatever could be found in the
food Of the robins Insects, in large guam
titles, varying greatly as to kind, condi.-
ton, and development, were during all
these months their sole and exclusive
food. The larve of species of fly known
to naturalists as the Bi6iO Gl6ipenniS OF
Say, formed large proportion of the con-
tents of their stomachs. Not unfrequent-
ly as many as two hundred of these in
sects, in this stage of development, were
taken from single bird, and for the most
part wherever any were found they were
the only food in the. birds stomach

Robins Indispens able to the Farmer.

The mischief which birds do is often Of
daily occurrence, is open, palpable, and
not to be gainsaid. And yet these very
birds are often really our greatest benefac-
tors. Let us take up first for our consid-
Grafton the Robin. Where will you find,
hereabouts, one more complained OF, more
generally denounced, than he? Is he not,
by common consent, pronounced by most
Of our fruit-growers the pest of horticul-
turists? Does he not steal our cherries,
plumber our strawberries, strip our cur
rant bushes, pilfer our raspberries, help
himself to our choicest grapes, and, if we
have some rare Shepardia berries, will
not the glutton take the whole And
does he not, some one else will add, at
tack and spoil our handsomest pears? In
reply to the last charge we cannot respond
aff1rmatively. We do not believe it, and
if it were true, we should say to whoever
made This charge: "My dear sir, it only
serves you right. You should not leave
summer pears on the tree long enough to
become SO soft as to tempt bird to peck
at them. Your fruit should have been
gathered when so hard that no bird could
modest it, and thus you would have saved
your pears and improved their quality !'
But we are getting off our track, and will
return to the Robin. 20.
With the exception of the pear. accuse
ton, which we believe to be bosh, we ad-
NIT the truth of all these charges-but
what then? What do they prove? Sim
ply that the worst traits in the character
of the Robin are those which, unfortu-
nately for his reputation, are the most ap-
parent, and which are brought home to
the notice of all who have fruit to be
plundered, while his beneficial deeds es-
cape the general observation. The Robin
is eminently one of those who delight in
doing good by stealth, but alas he is
very rarely put to the blush by finding it
fame. The world, as general thing, is
but too prompt to recognize the mischief
he does, but knows little or nothing of
his good deeds, far overbalancing his
faults.
Fortunately for the reputation of the
Robin, careful and faithful friends have
looked into his record, and the result Of
their investigations proves him to be an
invaluable friend to the farmer, and de-
monstrate by indisputable evidence, that
his services are of an indispensable i'm
portance. Nearly eleven years since, the
very same gentleman who this last sum-
mer signalized his imperfect knowledge-of
birds by protesting against the European
Sparrow's coming to Boston, because 1t
was not an insect-easer, at q meeting

Food for Poultry.

NEVER stint poultry in the variety or
quality of their food. Good food is posi-
tive economy. The best and heaviest
corn is the cheapest. The best food Is
that which gives the most of what nature
demands for the formation of muscle, bone
and fat Fine bran or middlings is richer
in two of these important ingredients than
any other one kind of food, but being de-
ficient in gluten, is not warmth giving,
and is better when combined with the
whole grain, which, when mashed, forms
a most wholesome and nutritious food.
Barley is much used in Europe, but
should never be the only food in the poul-
try-yard. Fowls do not fatten on it.
Oats are good as a change, but are in
ferior in nutriment.
Buckwheat is much liked by poultry, is
greedily dovoured, and is more productive
of eggs early and in abundance than any
other grain.
Hemp seed is also productive of eggs and
is also very strengthening. The latter is
one of the best things that can be fed dur
ing moulting.
In preparing birds for exhibition, flax
seed may be given occasionally; it in
creases the secretion of oil, and gives lus-
ter to their plumage. In giving soft feed
it should be mixed stiff, .. g.. not muShy ;
fowls do not relish it in this state. A
good food of this kind is composed of
equal quantities of fine bran and Indian
meal, This should be mixed with hot or
seaLdiag water, or of such consistency that
IL breaks or cram6es when thrown on the
ground. Another good soft feed is made
of small potatoes, washed clean, boiled,
and mashed with an equal quantity OF In
dian meal.
In giving soft feed never use feeding
dish or trough. If the yards are clean, as
they should be, the ground is the best
place to feed from The gravel and sand
swallowed with the food is necessary for
digestion; besides, poultry prefer to pick
their food from the ground
Don't neglect green food. We have
spoken of it before in former number,
and only refer to it now to impress more
forcibly the necessity of it if you wish to
succeed with your poultry; a little
chopped vegetables of some kind-whetheI
cabbage, lettuce, spinach, onions, or other
greens-is better given eoery day than q
| great deal once or twice week.
If you wish perfect eggs, lime in some
form NEST be furnished. Broken bones
lime rubbish, pounded shells (oyster OF
clam) are all good.
Beef or pork scraps are productive OF
good results. In the winter when the
fowls do not get worms and grubs, a cake
laid in the yard for them to pick st, or 9
little chopped off and broken up and fec
to them, adds to their health and to the
contents of the egg basket. So also ar

plank having an excellent natural
crook. We will suppose for example
that the crook is on the north
side of the tree. Now, in order
to avoid the mistake that most labor
ers make when digging down large
tree, by letting it fall without large
fulcrum near the butt to lift the roots
out of the ground, let log ten or more
feet long be placed on the south side Of
the standing tree, about eight feet from
the butt. A log, foot or mere in dame
ter, elevated on blocks, so as to be two
feet high, will lift the roots clean from the
ground, as the tree falls, and thus save
much heavy labor. -.-.
Now, when the north wind blows fu
rious gale, let the digging and cutting off
the roots be done. Excavate on the south
side first, and cut OFF ali the brace-roots.
Then the tree will fall in the desired
place. Now remove the earth for two
feet IN depth, if the brace-roots or the
cook extend to that depth, before using
the axes. In one or two hours an active
digger will lay the roots bare, so that one
can see at a glance where to chop most
adVantageously.
AS the timber is very tough in the
crook of the brace roots, the tree can be
felled with less labor by excavating the
earth to such an extent that the chopping
may be done in the roots, which may al
ways be- chopped more easily than the
timber above the surface of the ground.
AS the tree falls, the advantage of o large
fulcrum will be apparent, as it will lift the
butt-roots and all-clean from the
ground, with the sleigh crook upward,
where it always should be. But, when q
large fulcrum is not employed, digging up
tree is laborious task, which most men
dislike. If these directions be followed,
the job will be comparatively easy and by
no means diff1cult.-UedTth and Home.
