Salt for Wheat Fields,

On this. subject Prof. Whitney
says:
No reliance can be placed be-
forehand on salt in any given case
or for any given crop, for the rea.
son that its operation may depend
upon any one ofa dozen different
causes. If there is deficiency
of soda in the soil, salt may sup
ply it; the decomposition of the
salt may, by iberating one of its
components, chlorine, hasten the
termination of the seed, this ele-
ment being believed to have this
effect specifically; or the salt dis
solving in the soil may, as is
known to be frequently the case.
help the solution of insoluble
phosphates.
The ash of wheat kernels con-
tains nearly four per cent. ofsoda,
the ash of the straw nearly two
and halfper cent, and that of
the chaff more than one and one
fourth per cent. 1t is likely,
therefore, that salt will prove ben
eficial to wheat, but this can only
be found by actually applying it
to apiece of ground and watching
the result.

GoId-Rearind Trees

We see it stated that the rail.
ways of the United States require
tar sleepers alone the timber on
10000 acres of heavily wooded
land every year; besides $3S, ,5OO,.
900 worth of timber for buildings
repairs and cars, and $56,0OO,0OC
worth of fuel. The wood indus
try of the whole country is worth
$500, 600, 900 annually.
Now, if 10000 acres are an
nually stripped for ties alone, il
is safe to say that the country
will soon be short of timber. Lo,
Gusts make good ties. Let every
owner of broken land plant all
the waste and barren places with
locust, and in twenty-five years
he or his heirs will have a fortune
that will have grown on these
trees. They will be in great de-
mand, both for railway ties and
for fence-posts.

Plant Mulberry Trees.

Whenever you have cherry trees
or other fruit liable to be plucked
by the birds, before you can Sc.
cure any fruit for your own ben
eft, theHorticulturist suggests
the planof planting some for the
birds also at a little distance from
the orchard. Mulberries are
great favorites with the birds, and
wherever they are in fruiting.
they will leave the cherries and
gather on the mulberry trees.
A correspondent of the Farmers
Club touches upon this subject:
~ would say to all farmers
plant few white mulberry trees
for the birds, as well as fer the
children. The trees are hardy
grow fast, and bear abundantly.
| will give you my experience.
During the morus multicaulis
speculation, l planted lot Of
them. They soon became worth
less. | saved some white mul-
berries near the carriage-house
and grapary. About the same
time l planted a cherry orchard,
anh a variety of plum trees.
They all fourished finely, and
soon had fruit in great abundance
The mulberries were ripe about
the same time with the cherries.
and continued ripening until late
in autumn. The birds were de-
lighted with the white, sweet
fruit, and left the cherries un.
touched. Chickens and children
| loved them.

Something Worth KNOWING.

Receipts that have been ap.
proved by actual use are always
valuable. Thus we have been
furnished one for an outside coat
ing for rough brick walls, which
at the same time prevents. mois-
ture from penetrating through,
which is in use by the the United
States Government for painting
its lighthouses, and has recently
been applied in several places in
this city. 1t is said to be a good
waterproof, as well as an excel
lent substitute for paint for out
side walls; Take of fresh Rosen-
dale cement three parts, and of
clean, fine sand one part; mix
with fresh water thoroughly.
This gives gray or granite color,
dark or light, according to the
color of the cement. If brick
color is desired, add enough Ven
etian red to the mixture to pro-
duce the color. If a very light
color is desired, lime may be used
with the cement and care must
be taken to have all the ingredi-
ents well mixed together. In
applying the wash the wall must
be wet with clean fresh wafer
then follow Immediately with the
cement wash. This prevents the
bricks from absorbing the water
from the wash too rapidly, and
gives time for the cement to set.
The wash must be well stirred du-
ring the application. The ad-
mixture to be made as thick as
can be applied conveniently with
a whitewash-brush. We are as
sured by those who have used it,
that this cement wash will stand
for years, that it is admirably
suited for brickwork, fences, &c;
that it is nearly waterproof, but
that it can not be used to advan-
tage over paint or whitewash.

Have yon never seen the ex
pulsive power of true love in re
gard to faults, and what the in
spiration of true love IS in regard
to virtues? Oh! what a subsoiline
love gives to the soul. Only love
enough, and there is nothing that
is not possible. To conscience
but few things are possible; to
love all things. A love that is
spiritual, a love that is really a
deep and abiding affection, how
does it convey the naturei how
does it cleanse and purify it! how
robust does it make man, how
victorious! 1t is said that Glove
conquers all things" tits the
meanest Interpretation of the
maxim conceivable as it is ordi-
narily used, that it conquers the
differences that, interpose be-
tween two lovers. The real vic
tories of love are in the lover
The victories of love are in the

in the cultivation of the taste. in
the exaltation of virtue, in the
molding of the disposition, in,the
more perfect development in
the character of all that is beau
tiful and good. How it enriches
the moral nature! How large and
grand it makes the soul! How
easy is it, under the inspiration
Of love, for all the multitudinous
particles of life to begin to move
harmonioasly and to adjust them
selves rightly, if only this central
fire oflove be present. How i'm
possible without it; how impossi

Stable Windows.

Diseases of the eye in horses
may, in many cases, be traced to
the wretched custom of confining
animals in dark stables. Any
one, who has been for some time
in dark room, knows what the
effect is of coming suddenly out
into the bright sunlight. The
horse is no less sensitive. Bring
him suddenly out and you notice
that he stumbles against almost
every thing that is in his way,
and steps with the utmost uncer-
tainty. This blundering is not
the fault of the poor beast, but of
his owner. The eye must gradu-
ally become accustomed to the
change. The effect OF. the COM
mon mode of treatment, cannot
fail eventually to be disastrous to
the eye-sight. The detention in
dark stables must have deleter-
ious influence upon the optic
nerve, by weakening it. The re-
tina feels it also. Objects are re-
flected upor a dull surface and
they are not clearly discerned.
The master wonders what is the
matter. His horse used to be
sure footed, but now he stumbles
entirely too frequently for his
credit in the market. He used
to be very gentle and could be
warrented as altogether safe, but
now he SHES so abominably; that
several times, he has very nearly
upset the carriage, and the ladies
of the house are afraid of him.
He is losing character and rap
idly getting a bad name, when
the poor brute is as deserving of
confidence as ever. The animal
would in fact be safer with abso-
lutte blindness than with imper-
feet vision, for it is constantly
alarmed by objects which are
seen indistinctly, whereas in the
former case, it trusts entirely to
the bride. Farmers will do well
to make note and let their horses
have light.-Jourmal efMe Farm.

True POIiteness.

A very touching incident re-
Gently occurred in a Chicago horse
car, going west On Randolf street.
The car was crowded. Many
were standing; among them an
old man ofperhaps seventy whose
appearance indicated great wea-
riness. There were strong men
sitting on either side; there were
young men and boys; but no one
offered the old man a seat. Pres
emily a young and beautiful wo-
man rose, and, with a winning
smile, offered him her seat. He
seemed bewildered, and refused;
but she-i,,sisted viii -.aa,,ol,
earnestness that he finally settled
himselfinto her seat, while she
took the place where he had stood
This proceeding created such a
sensation that the conductor
pulled the bell and kindly inqui-
red if anybody wanted to get out
A fat old gentleman, whose eye
sight was rather dim, deliberately
took out his spectacles, and hay
ing wiped them carefully, put
them on his nose, and said: "Won-
derful! wonderful! wonderful!''
No less than four gentlemen
sprang from their seats at the
same moment, and offered them
to the lady, but she politely de-
clined.
After the lady had left the car,
one gentleman remarked that he
had never seen the like in his life,
and that in all probability she
was insane. Another said she
was undoubtedly a stranger in
Chicago. The conductor was in
terrogated as to whether she was
frequent passenger in the cars.
He replied that she was not-that
nothing of the kind had ever be-
fore occurred in the course of his
experience as a conductor. A
youthful dandy who had seat
next the lady said, with a twirl
of his moustache, that it was Gan
awkward position for a man to be
placed in" but he has spent his
time since the event in riding up
and down in the same car, and
has offered his seat to no less than
elderly gentlemen. He
has likewise invoked the muses.

THE FARM.
Keeping Poultry ss a Business.

AT recent meeting Of the
New York Farmers Club, in
answer to an inquiry about keep
ing poultry on large scale, War
rem Leland, of the Metropolitan
Hotel, New York. who raises
chickens at his Highland farm in
Westchester county, said:
l have found that for every
hundred fowls you must give up
at least an acre. But rough land
is as good as any. Hens natur.
ally love the bush, and | loI
young trees, but leave shred by
which they live year or more
These form hiding places and re-
treats for them. In such places
they prefer to lay. | have great
success, and it depends on three
or four rules, by observing which
| believe one can make a good
living by hens and turkeys.
1. give my fowls great range.
Eighteen acres belongs to them
exclusively. Then the broods
have the range ofanother big lot,
and the turkeys go half a mile OF
more from the house. The eight
cen acres of poultry yard is rough
land of little use for tillage. Ii
has a pond in it and many rocks,
and bushes, and weeds, and sandy
places, and ash-heaps, and lime,
and bones and grass, and place
where L plow up to give them
worms.
2. When a hen has set | take
her box, throw out the straw and
earth, let it be out in the sun and
rain a few days, and give it a
good coat of whitewash on both
sides. In winter, when it is very
cold, l have an old stove in their
house and keep the warmth above
freezing. There is also an open
fireplace where | build a fire in
cold, wet days. They dry them
selves, and when the fire goes out
there is a bed of ashes for them
to wallow in. Summer and win,
ter my hens have all the lime,
ashes and sand they want.
3. Another reason why l have
such luck is because my poultry
yards receive all the scraps from
the Metropolitan Hotel. Egg
making is no easy work, and hens
will not do much of it without
high feed. They need just what
aman who works requires-wheat
bread and meat. Even when
Wheat costs 50 l believe in feed
ing 1t to hens. As to breeds !
prefer the Brahmas, light and
dark. | change roosters every
spring, and a man on the farm
has no other oDty than to take
care of my poultry. ~ | often have
5000 spring chickens.

A Beautiful Extract.


1t was night. Jerusalem lay
quietly among her hills, as child
upon the breast of its mother.
The noiseless sentinel stood like
4 statue at his post, and the phi
losopher's lamp burned dimly in
the recesses of his chamber. But
a mortal darkness involved the
nation in its unlighted shadows.
Reason shed a faint, glimmering
over the minds of men like the
cold and insufficient shining of a
distaut star. The immortality OF
mans spiritual nature was un-
known, his relations to heaven
undiscovered, and his future des-
tiny obscured in a cloud of mys-
terry.
1t was at this period that the
two forms of ETHEREAL mould how
cred about the land of Gods cho-
sen people They came like sis
ter angels, sent to earth ON some
embassy of life. The one of ma
.jestic stature and well formed
limbs, which her snowy drapery
hardly concealed, and in her erect
bearing and steady eye, exhibited
the highest degree of strength
and confidence. Her right arm
extended, with impressive ges-
ture upward, where Night ap-
peared to have placed her dark
est pavilion; while on her left
reclined her delicate companion,
in form and countenance the con-
trast of the other; she, dropping
like a flower moistened by refresh
ing dews, and her bright but
troubled eye scanned them with
ardent varying love glances.
Suddenly, a light like the sun
flashed from the heavens, and
Faith and Hope hailed with ex-
citing song ascending of Bethle-
hem.
Years rolled away, and the
Stranger was seen at Jerusalem.
He was meek, unassuming man,
whose happiness seemed to con-
sist in acts of benevolencs to the
human race. There were deep
traces of sorrow on his counte-
nance, though no one knew why
he grieved, for he lived in the
practice of every virtue by all the
good and wise.
By and by it was rumored that
the Stranger worked miracles;
that the blind saw, the dumb
spake, the dead arose, and the O.
cean macerated its chatting tide,
the very thunder articulated.
He was the son of God. Envy
assailed him to death.
Thickly guarded. He slowly a
rose on the hill of Calvary. But
Faith leaned on his arm and Hope
dipped its pinions in His blood,
mounted to the skies.
