| THE american AgrTcUIturia says:
We cannot conceive that walnut trees can
exercise any injurious influence upon
| fruit trees except in two ways-robbing
the fruit trees of nourishment by their ex.
tending roots, and-by shading them. II
the walnut trees arc not SO near the fruit
| trees rs TO injurfousiy shade them, then
|
roots if they come into the territory of
those of the apple trees and vines, cut
them off and give the fruit trees dress
ing of manure. A..--
ECONOMY IN MEAT.-Take cold meat of
any kind-pieces left from the table; cut
In pieces quarter of an inch squares put
in q frying pan; cover the meat with
water; put in small piece of butter, pep
| per and salt; when this comes to a boil
stir in II little flour and water, previously
mixed. Have two or three slices of bread
toasted place them on platter, and pour
over them the meat and gravy while hot.
This will be found an excellent dish pre-
pared from meat usually thrown away.
| In answer to correspondent, the Gard
ener's Monthly says; "It is hard to get

to advise you; but we think, as it is really
n strong.growing weed, if the lawn be
mown regularly every two weeks, 1t will
soon die'away; no strong-growing weed
will live long in closely mown lawn"
The american .lAgricuItU'Tst says; "If
one waits until his phlox, pansy, balsam,
and some other Seeds are ripe, he will
gather none. These plants and Others
have n way of bursting their capsules as
soon as ripe, and throwing the seeds as
far as possible. The only way to manage
these is toatake them as soon as the seed
vessel Is Uniformed and shows signs of
maturity, and put them where they can
| scatter without loss. We have used wire
| sieves to cover such seed-pods, and found
them TO work admirably. 1t is necessary
for one who would save seeds, whether for
| his own use or for sale, 10 study the habit
of each plant, see what its natural mode
| of distributing its seeds is, and anticipate
| it. ~-
To MAKE PAPER TRANsPARENT.-Art-
lists, architects, land surveyors, and all
who have occasion to make use of tracing
paper IN their professional duties will be
glad to know that any paper capable of
the transfer of drawing In ordinary ink,
pencil, or water colors, and that even a
4 stout drawing paper, can be made as trans
parent asthe thin, yellowish paper at pres
cnt used for tracing purposes The liquid
used Is benzlne. IL the paper be damped
| with pure and fresh distilled benzine it at
once assumes Transparency, and permits
| OF the tracing being made, and of ink or
water colors being used on its surface with
out any running" The paper resumes
its opacity as the benzine evaporates, and
If the drawing is not completed, the
requisite portion of thepaper must be again
damped with the benzine. The trans
parent calico, ON which indestrucnble trac-
ings can be made, wasa most valuable in.
vention, and this new discovery of the prop
critics of the benzine viii prove of further
| service to many hrunches of the art. pro-
