YaIua and Culture of Applss.

By no other process, in my opinion, can
so much nutriment be SO cheaply extracted
from four square rods of grannd as by plan
ting an apple tree in the centre, and giving
it good cultivation.
Apples need the ground, the whole of it,
and all it contains, but ''immemorial usage
allows an apple tree no rights that husband
men are bound to respect it is haggled
and mangled, roots and branches, and the
soil exhausted in the production of other
crops. Charging the apples with the
ground they actually grow upon and appro-
pirate, they generally give far better re-
turns as food for man or beast than corn,
wheat or potatoes.
New York, particularly western New
York, has character at home and abroad
for fruit. If better apple country was
ever made, / confess never heard of it.
We occupy the precise position where the

comes nearest perfection.
know of no ordinary farm crop that at
all compares, during series of years, with
apples, if we take into account the small
expense at which they are raised Should
we reduce the yield to one-half barrel to
the tree, apples would still be our most prof
liable crop.
I boldly claim that the average of our or
chards could be doubled by good cultiva-
ton.
An acre Of ground that will produce forty
barrels of good fruit, ought to be excused
from growing grain. Whatever grain or
root crops are grown uponit, detract doubt
less more than they are worth from the ap-
pie crop. We cannot, without great ex-
pense and trouble, return to the soil all the
elements which our wheat, corn and pota,
toes take from il. When I hear of trees
standing near a wood pile in the corner of
fence, near the barn. or the hog pen, or the
kitchen door, am prepared for big yield
The great majority Of our apple trees are Ell
ther starved or go very hungry.-H. T.

Hints for Dram Drinkers.

There may be seen daily, on Chestnut
street, man clad in faultless apparel,
with great..diamond upon his breast,
vainly ehdeavoring to outglitter the
magnificent solitaire on his fingers. In
German Universities he learned chem
istry, and not even Liebig knows it bet
ter. His occupation is the mixing and
the adulteration of liquors. Give him a
dozen casks of deedorized alcohol, and
the next day, each of them will repre-
sent the name of a genuine wine or a
popular spirit. He enters a wholesale
drug store bearing large basket upon
his arm. Five pounds of Iceland moss
are first weighed out to him. To raw
liquor this imparts degree of smooth
ness and oleaginous that gives to imita-
tion brandy the glibness of that which
is most matured. An astringent called
catchu, that would almost close the
mouth of a glass inkstand, is next in
order. A couple of ounces of strych
nine, next called for, are quickly con-
veyed to the vest pocket, and a pound
of sulphate of zinc white vitroD is as
silently placed in the bottom of the
basket. The oilkof cogniac, the sulphur
ic acid, and other articles that give fire
and body to the liquid poison, are al
ways kept in store. The mixer buys
these things in various quarters. They
are staples of the art.-[ Philadelphia

maica, several of US were sick with the
fever, and among the rest the second
mate. The doctor had been giving him
brandy to keep him up. But 1 thought
it was queer kind of keeping up
Why, you see, it stands to reason, Miss,
that if you heap fuel on the fire it will
burn faster, and putting brandy to a
fever is just the same thing. Brandy is
more than half alcohol, you know.
Well, the night the doctor gave him
up was to watch with him. No medi-
cine was left, for it was of no use
Nothing would help him, and I had my
directions what to do with the body
when he was dead.
"Towards midnight he asked for wat
er. l got him the coolest that 1 could
find and gave him all he wanted; aud
if you'll believe me, Miss, in less than
three hours he drank three gallons
The sweat rolled off him like rain. Then
he sank off, and thought sure he was
gone, but he was sleeping, and as sweet
ly as child. In the morning, when
the doctor came, he asked what time the
mate died. p
".Won't you go in and see him p said
1.
HE went in and took the mates

anything from that, but L did, and no

Beginning to Farm.

A New York clerk % years old, un.
married, with $1,000 capital, and an am.
bition to be farmer, but has no knowl
edge of the business, asked the farmers
Club how he should begin his new
career, and got the following answer:
"Put all your money at interest at !
per cent. on mortgage. Go hire your.
self to thrifty, money-making farmer.
work for the first month foryour board.
Then get him to give you something
until you can make nearly full wages as
farm hand. See everything, and re-
member what you see. Read books and
papers. In a year or two buy place on
which the first tinstallmentisS1 900. Use
81 900 for stock and tools; keep the other
81 900 at interest, and go to work. When
you have been on the farm year, marry
some young woman who can raise
chickens and knows how to make panta-
looms.

How To DRIVE A YOUNG HORSE
We find the following, and do not know
its paternity, but it is good advice: "In
teaching young horse to drive well, do
not hurry to see how fast he will trot.-
Keep each pace clear and distinct from
the other; that is, in walking make him
walk, and do not allow him trot. While
trotting be equally carful that he keeps
steady at his pace, and do not allow him
to slack into walk. The reins, while
driving, should be kept snug; and when
pushed to the topof his speed, keep him
we'll in hand, that he may learn to bear
well the bit, so that when going at a
high rate of speed he can be held at his
pace; but do not allow him to pull too
hard, for it is not only unpleasant, but
it makes it often difficult to manage
him." 80 E ~ - .-..'-i-i,. -

ed, and road away at the same furious
rate, while the trappers, shouting and
yelling at the top OF their lungs, dashed
after them-About fifty rods were pass
ed in this manner, when fully fifty
warriors suddenly came in view beneath
a hill, where they had been waiting in
ambush.
Carson's s companion looked inquiring-
ly at him, and he nodded his head to
signify that the chase must be kept up.
Retreat now was sudden death, while
to advance looked almost as bad. But
the two trappers dashed straight for
ward, their horses at the highest rate of
speed. 1t was the charge of the Light
Brigade of Balakava on small scale.
When the indians saw that the whites
intending no retreat, they separated
into two divisions, by about the distance
of hundred yards, and, holding their
rifles ready, awaited the moment to
empty the two saddles.
Bending down their heads, they
pressed their spurs into the lanks of
their horses, and the latter strained
every nerve Each of the trappers held
loaded gun in his hand. but he did not
fire, for, in running fight, the great
fear of the hunter is that he may find
himself dismounted, with an empty gun
in his hand.
Itwas fearful ride. In one place,
they were within twenty yards of the
Navajoes, who sent the bullets whist
ling about th cir ears. Their clothes
werepierced, and several slight wounds
made; but, by wonderful providence,
neither was seriously injured, nor were
their horses more than scratched. -
They continued their fight in the
same headiong rate. The Indians con-
tinued the pursuit for short, distance,
but finally withdrew, and the 'trappers
reached camp without further distur-
bance.

HARD VS.. SOFT WATER.-In Europe
hard water is considered more healthful
than soft. The French savans, when
inquiring after water for the supply of
Paris, found that more conscripts are
rejected in soft water districts, ON ac-
count of imperfect development and
|stunted growth, than in the hard; and
they conclude that calcarious matter in
water is essential to the formation OF
tissues. Facts having a similar bearing
have been noted in Great Britain.
Place bone in the earth near the root
of a grape, and the vine will send out a
leading root directly 10 the bone. In its
passage it throws out fibers, like lace,
each one seeking pore of the bone
On this bone the vine will continue to
feed as long as nutriment remains to be
extracted. tsi:S- tii1 t.e..

method; Nearly fill a gallon. stone bot

then be stopped very closely and let
