iel of a fondness for eggs in the following
manner: ! put about four ordinary charg-
es of gunpowder on a chip, laid an egg
beside it procured a lighted stick, then
called my dog, and just as he opened his
mouth to seize the prize ] set fire 10 the
powder. The result, as you will readily
presume, was pretty badly singed face,
and the conviction that all eggs are explo-

own experience. Available dog belong

of breaking up hens nests. A large dose
of tarter emeiic was inserted in an egg

egg thus charged placed 7:here the dog

Dear Eed,-no doubt you'll be surprised
When you receive and read this letter;
I've rallied against the marriage state,
But then. You see, I knew no better.
b I've met lovely girl out here,
Her manner is-weD-yery winning:
We're soon to be-wel, Ned, my dear,
III tell you all from the beginning.
/ went 10 ask her out to ride,
Last Wednesday-it was perfect weather;
She said she couldn't possibly,
The servants had gone of together:
(Hibernisns always rush away,
At cousins funerals to be loOking9
Pies must be made. and she must stav.
She said, to do that branch Of cooking
"'Oh, let me help you, then cried,
'Il be q cooker, too, how jolly y
She laughed, and answered with a smile,
IAN right bat you'll repent your folly;
For 1 shall be tyrant, sir,
And good hard work you II have to graphic,
So sit down here, and don't you stir,
But take that knife and pare that apple
She rolled her sleeve above her arm
That lovely arm, so plump and ROUNDED;
Outside, the morning sun shone br1gAt; ta
Inside, the dough she deity pounded
Her little fingers sprinkled -four,
And rolled the pie-crUst up IN masses;
passed the most delightful hour
Mid butter, sugar and molasses.
With deep reflection, her sweet eyes
Gazed on each pot and pan and kettle;
She sliced the apples filed her pies,
And then the upper crust did settle.
Her ripping waves Of golden hair
In one great coil were tightly twisted;
But locks would break it, here and there,
And curl about where'e r they listed.
And then her sleeve came down, and
Fastened it up-her hands were doughty;
Oh, it did take the longest time,
Her arm, Ned, was so fair and snowy
She blushed and trembled, and looked shy;
Somehow, that made me all the holder;
Her arch lips looked so red, that L
well-found her head upon my shoulder.
We're to be married, Ned, next month;
Come and attend the wedding revels.
i really think that the bachelors
Are the most miserable devilsi
You'd better 60 for some girls hand,
And if you are uncertain whether
You dare TO make due demand
Why, just try cooking pies together.

stones Around Peach Trees.

ssAOAASH &AAOuuo a CNANA AACSss
We have seen it stated that when placed
on the surface of the soil around peach
trees, stones are beneficial to the trees,
causing them to produce heavily and ripen
their fruit earlier than usual. This effect
is doubtless produced by the growth of
grass and weeds being prevented by the
stones and the heat they acquire from the
sun during the day and give out at night
to the soil. Stones decompose slowly
from the effects of exposure to heat, frost,
rain, ETC., and in this way furnish manure
for the roots of trees and plants. The ex-
pertinent is worth trying around a tree or
two.

Very few farmers realize as yet the
great importance Of saving seed with
reference to their valuable qualities, ana
continuing the process from year to year
until such qualities become fixed in the
product, and increase in fiXedness till
they become almost inGlienable Mr..
David Dickson, of Sparta, Ga, and such
as he, men who give the same sort Of in
telligent direction to their farm work, as
good merchants and other business men
give to their affairs understand this and
practice upon IT, We find Mr.. Dickson
advertising cotton seed for sale in the
Southern journals, which he claims to
have been selecting during thirty years.
He gets for this improved seed five dol
lars bushel, and from the great reputa-
ton he has as a skillful planter, makes no
doubt a handsome profit on his cotton
crop outside of what cotton growers gen
orally get.
Maryland farmers remember the Ia
nous corn which some years ago became
50 popular under the name of its origin
ator, Mr.. Baden, OF Prince Georges
county. II was extraordinarily prolific,
bearing four, five and six ears to a stalk,
in proportion to the quality of the land.
This prolific character was given to it
simply by careful selection from year to
year, with a view to its prolific bearing.
One of the most valuable of the Yarie-
ties of wheat now grown in this country,
which has been distributed far and wide,
through some years past, from the Agri-
cultural Department, is due to the care of
Virginia farmer in preserving and prop
agating few heads of grain which he OBJ
served to be rigcning in advance Of the
rest of his crop. We mean the BOUghtOn
wheat, 50 called after the originator, and
otherwise known as TappahannOck
This wheat, priced for many years in
Marland, has, Ike all the varieties known
before it, failed Of late years, and seems to
demand change. 4 striking remark, as
bearing upon this point, is made in a late
number of the Farm Journal by r. 4.
Ragland, of Halifax county, Va. II is
this: 81 have my seed every year from
virgin soil, land that never before produced
any of the cereals. Is not this well
worth note and experiment, iuthc constant
trouble we have with our best varieties
running out, and the necessity Of getting
new and untried sortsl Can we keep a
kind 10y simply growing seed continually
upon new soil, or such as hasnOt been put
commonly in grain! Mr.. Rsgland says
further. 81 have been sowing this excel
lent wheat since my first crop in 1860,
and have never failed to raise an article of
quality, though the yield sometimes on
poor land was very small For good dry
land, in high condition, it is the best white
wheat ever sown in this part of Virginia
