Lime Around Apple Trees.

A writer in the Rural World states
taat: We have known some farmers
make IL regular practice for q sue
cession Of years to throw caustic
line arolnd trees in the spring and
Summer. We once noticed that q
tree steEding in the immediate vicin-
iiy of eur dwelling had all at once
put forth with renewed energy, and
we were at a loss for some time to
define the cause. On examination,
we found that quantity of lime,
which pad been accidentally spilled
and rendered worthless by becoming
mixed with the refuse on the stable
fseor, had been thrown at the foot
and around the tree, and to this, as
the principle cause, we Immediately
accredited the revivesence and re-
newed qualification of the tree.
Taking the hint from the incident
we purchased twelve casks of lime,
and applied half bushel to each OF
the treSe in our orchard, and found
that it produced immediate beneficial
efiects. Not the health Of the tree
only, but the quality of the fruit
also, was greatly improved. This
application will be especially bene-
fetal in. soils where there is a redun-
dsncy Of vegetable matter. We
would sdvise our farmers to make n
Trial of.this experiment.

Selections for a Newspaper.

Most people think the selection Of
suitable matter for newspaper the
easiest part of the business. How
great an error ! Ii is, by all means.
the most difficult. 70 look over and
over hundreds of exchange papers
every week from which to select
enough tor one, especially when the
question is not what shall, but what
shall not be selected, is no easy task.
If every person who reads a paper
could have edited it, we should hear
less complaint. Not unfrequently
1t is the case that an editor looks
over all of his exchange papers for
something interesting, and can abso-
lutely find nothing. Every paper is
dryer than contribution box; and
yet something must be had-his ra-
per must come out with something
in it, and he does the best he can
To an editor who has the least care
about what he selects, the writing
that he has to do is the easiest part
of the labor. Every subscriber
thinks the paper is printed for his
own benefit; and if there is nothing
in it thai suits him, it must be stop
ped-it is good for nothing. Just
as many subscribers as an editor NAV
have, SO many tastes he has to con-
suit. One wants something sound.
One likes anecdotes, fun and frolic :;
and the next door neighbor wonders
that man of good sense would put
such stuff in paper. Something
spicy comes out, and the editor is a
blackguard next comes something
argumentive, and the editor is a dull
fool. And so, between them all, you
see the poor fellow gets roughly
handled. They do not think that
what does notplease them may please
the next man but they insist if the
paper does not suit them it is good
For nothing.

READING FOR FARMERS BoYs.-An
intelligent and thrifty farmer says /:
But for the cooperation of my boys,
| should have failed. The eldest is
near twenty-one, and other boys in
the nelghborhood, younger have left
their parents; mine have stuck to me
when | most needed their services.
] attribute this result TO the fact that
| have furnished them with attract
i've and useful reading and when the
night comes, and the days labor is
ended, instead of running with other
boys to the railroad station and adj
joining towns, they gather around
the great lamp, and become absorbed
in their books and papers"
Such is substantially the testimony
of farmer who has known how hard
the struggle for footing on free soil
without capital is, and how valuable
and comparatively cheap are the aids
which good reading brings to him

How the Heavens are Shifting.

"The eternal and incorruptible
heavens" as they were termed by
Aristotle, are undergoing continual
and marked changes. The so-called
fixed stars-the landmarks Of the
universe" their own proper
motions not accounted for by that Of
the solar system. Sirius-as that
wonderful aid TO physical astronomy,
the snectroscope, reveals-is shoot
ing through space ct the rate OF one
thousand million miles year. The
STAR known as 81 Gygni, has trav-
ersc mouon alone of one Thousand
four hundred and Fifty million miles
q year. Many stars more distant
still, may even exceed this rate
Cooper's recent catalogue of stars
shows that no fewer than seventy
seven stars previously catslogued are
now missing. This no doubt, is to
be ascribed in part to the errors of
former observations but it is certain
that to some extent at least it is the
result of changes actually in progress
in the siderial system. Of temper
airy stars about twenty have been OBJ
served, and, more than six times
that number are known to be variab-
lie. nappears quite certain also that
some of the nebuIe have undergone
a change of both form and brillancy.
When the celestial lamps shall, by
their own light, record their history
on the Photographic page, our know
ledge of these mysterious luminaries,
whose fires wax and wane, or 60 out
in utter darkness, will be less invol-
we'd in doubt.

CHANGE OF FooD NEEDFUL.-Man,
when confined for any considerable
time to one kind of food, is more liza
bic to disease than when his regimen
is varied. The disease common among
sailors on long voyages is an illustra-
tion of this. Now, what is true of
man is equally true of the various
species OF animals. Domestic ami

fer from the same cause, For them
nature has furnished a variety. In
summer the different kinds of grasses,
with their rich juices, tempt their
taste and improve their flesh. Yet,
even then, we obtain an argument
for variety Of food, from the fact
that cattle which are fed with grain
or vegetables put on fat more rapidly
than when they partake of grass
alone. But in the winter our ordina-

ties. You will find the defect in part
supplied by roots OF various kinds.
Among these, turnips, carrots, beets
and the like, have their value. But
these, or something of the kind,
should be provided to give variety
to our winter stock. Farmers, look
to this, and see if the best cattle, and
the best folds of sheep, are not those
which have been furnished with a
variety of food during their long win
ter confinements. Would you have

Life in Germany.

You enter o German house, with

rings bell, and thus announces the
ingress or egress of some one. At
the foot of the staircase, you find a
bell-handle, by ringing at which you
call servant who conducts you to O
parlor or reception room on the next
floor, which you enter by knocks. -
You will find the parlor and the best
rooms in the house adorned with
beautiful pictures on the walls, and
elegant lace curtains at the windows,
6nt probably without any carpet
The floor, however, is tesselated with
beautiful patterns in various celors,
and vanished, or at least it is scour-
ed till it is as white as the driven

linen which a German housekeeper
has, and which she is not reluctant
to show her guest, is fabulous. This
is partly mark of gentility and par
thy matter of necessity, tor the Ger
mans have but three or four washing
ing days in the whole year. And
the baking of the black bread of the
peasants is as infrequent as their
washing. The Germans in the coun-

keep early hours, breakfasting at s

MEDICAL PROPERTIES OF EGGs.-
The white Of an egg has proved of
late the most efficacious remedy for
burns. Seven or eight successful APP
plications of this substance soothes
pain and efectually excludes the
burned parts from the air. This
simple remedy seems preferable to
collodion or even cotton. Extraordi-
nary stories are told of the heal
ing properties of a new oil which is
easily made from the yolk of hens
eggs. The eggs are first boiled hard,
aud the yolks are then removed,
crushed, and placed over fire, where
the whole substance is Just on the
point OF catching fire, when the oil
separates and may be poured off,
One yolk will yield nearly two tea
spoonsful of oil. 1t is in general use
among the colonists of South Russia
as means of curing cuts, bruises,
and scratches.

Progress of Fruit Culture.


The following is an extract from the
admirable address of Hon. Marshall
p Wider, President of the Pomo-
logicas Society, at the recent session
of thas Society in Philadelphia:
"hsrk the amazing increase of the
small fruits. Take, for instance, the
strawberry. Within the memory of
many of this assembly, we were de-
pendent almost wholly upon the
Wild species of the field, or to the
few which had been transplanted to
our gerdeng. 1t is only about thirty
years since the first attempt, we be-
heve, was made on this continent to
raise Pom seed new and improved
variety---thanks to the enterprise of
Mr. Hoyey--which gave us a fruit
which, has stood the test for a whole
generation of men. Compare the
small, dry, seedy, red and white
wood strawberries of our youth with
she Numerous larger luscious varie-
Ties which have come to notice in
our day Not only have the latter
increased to hundreds of varieties
~'thin this time, but the quantity
produced 10 in still greater ratio
W hat would our fathers say at The
dlspatch from n single railroad sta
ion In .the Western states where if
ty yeers ago the emigrant had
scarcely, set his foot, of one thousand
bushels of Strawberries daily to mar
ket, or from another depot on the
nnoccupied lands Of New Jersey ia
Ken up within fifteen years, similar
quantity sent to the New York mar
Rot daily; or, still more remarkable.
from Norfolk, in Virginia, whore
seventeen years ago the cultivation
OF this Erust had not commenced, and
from whence, during the past season,
three millions of quarts have been
sent TO Tho Northern markets.
Thirty years ago we possessed only
Two good varities of the Raspberry
lie req and white Antwerp; now we
have Numerous fine kinds and where
man ;thought himself fortunate to
gatheres saucerfuI, it is raised, as by
car friend William Parry, OF New
Jersey, by hundreds or thousands of
bushels for the market. So of the
oarrant and black berry. Of the lat
ter, rot q single variety had then
been introduced into our gardens or
catalogues; now we have many new
kinds, 'and the produce is equally
great.
The Ingenious methods of gather
ing, preserving and packing of fruits,
and the means of safe transmission
so distant markets, are among the
most Important advances in this ne w
era. 70 such perfection have these
been brought, that not only our small,
tender truits come to us a hundred
OF Thousand miles in good order,
hnt the grape and pear travel from
the Pacific to the Atlantic coasts
While Rcnning this address, pears
and other fruits have come to our
hands from California, in perfect con-
clifton and to add to our surprise.
the pears Of that state are finding a
market in Japan. Our cheap and
eonve1lant postal facilities for the
transmission of seeds, scions and
plants, promoting the introduction
cf newstruits into the remotest parts
ct the fand, are such as no other ma
ton hss,ever enjoyed, yet not more
than commensurate with the de-
mands Of oar extensive territory !;
and we trust the day is not distant
when We shall have equal facilities
for such reciprocal advantages with
the Whole world.
