When we say that this is one Of the best

is known by those who have watched the
institution since its commencement to the
present time. The various branches OF
learning are taught thoroughly, and We
have never seen boys progress more rapid-
" with their studies. The session recently
closed was highly successful, and the large

VINES FOse ORNAMENTS.

The expression which, Of all others,
it is most desirable to secure in the
aspect of residences in tie suburbs
and country especially, is that of
repose and settled domestic comfort.
However imposing may be the arch
itectural design, or how ever elaborate
the artistic decorations Of a building
which is to be occupied as a dwelling,
its appearance is Of necessity cheer
less, if not actually torbidding, until
it is mellowed, softened and sublued
by the genial touch and presence OF
nature. The cditice can in no way
be made to receive this effect so
easily and fully as by wrcathing it
with vines, and suffering its outlines
ard ornaments to be seen through
the delicate foliage and brilliant flow
crs, which serve to soften down the
angular formaity Of mere stone or
brick. Their effect in heightening
the charms Of the humbleSt and plain
est abodes is equally striking.
OF the vines adapted to such use,
the wistarla, the trumpet creepcr,
and the American ivy, are the best
three that can be named. Unfor-
tunately, we have no evergreen vine
which vii bear our climate, and give
TO our buildings in winter the warm
and cheerful look which, farther
south, is available by the use OF the
English ivy; but as an offset, we have
more gorgeous beauty of flower and
foliage than that vine ever displays.
The wistaria is a perfectly hardy
vine, and grows with rapidly, after
getting we'll started in rich soil. Its
foliage is delicate and beautiful, and
the flowers hang i'll rich purple clust-
ers like grapes. 1t blossoms twice
in a season, and in great proiusion
A magnificent specimen Of this vine
may be seen at the corner Of Second
avenue and Seventh street, New
York. 1t is planted at one end Of a
large brick house which forms the
corner, and not only covers The whole
Of the end on Seventh street, but the
whole front on Second avenue, and
forms an arbor eyer the yard in front,
which is fifteen feet wide. II is train
ed gracefully, and with care which
shows the owners appreciation of It's
value; and when III bloom, it is such
and object Of attractive beauty as to
excite the wonder and admiration of
every passer. This vine. like others
named, may be had at any good MAJ
sery, and once planted in good
soil, requires no more care than the
most common tree.
The trumpet creeper is much like
it in its general character, but has
trumpet, shaped flowers, three or four
inches in length, which give it gor
geoas look, and if mingled with those

as other corn, and the last time
through hill as much as possible; and
lay it by until harvest, which is about
tie last week Of August. First break
it down SO the tops just touch the
ground cut with a small shoe knife,

take it at once to the barn, and scrape
off the seed with a small cylinder
driven by horse power. Spread it Al

it until dry; then bale up into bales

The average Yield is about three
acres to the ton OF brush the cos to

Profitable Farming.

John Johnstone's remarkable Sue
cess as farmer Is owing, first, to the
man himself-to his larc good judy
ment, combined with indomitablc
energy, persevering industry, close
observation, and prompt, intelligent
action. Second, to undertaking.
Third, to the tree use of plaster on
clover. Fourth, to c)nsuning all
the clover, straw and corn on his farm
Bic has raised 3, 900 bushels OF corn
in year, but none had been exported
from the farm except some which lie
gave to be sent to Ireland AT The
time of the famine. He never sold
bushel. 1t has all been fed out with
she clover, straw, stalks, ETC., raised
on the farm. In addition To this, -he
has bought large quantities ofoiI-cake
to feed sheep and cat' G, and this has
added greatly to the quality Of the
manure heap Fifth, he bestowed
great care on his summer ta.lows.
They were not allowed to grow up
to weeds, but We're repeatedly pillow
eJ and harroweG, and rolled and cu-
tivated, uatil the Stiffvst clay was re-
anced to almost as fine tith as alr
English turuip field. Such thorough
t7lage is itself more than equivalent
to a heavy dressing Of chr common
manure.
Undertaking enabled him to
work his land thoroughly and in good
season. This thorough tillage set
free the latent plant-lood III the soil.
The clover took root and organized
it into food for sheep. The sheep
extracted the fat from the clover
hay, and left the nitrogen matter in
the manure heap. SO Of the corn,
stake. They all found their way
back to the land, with oil cake III
addition. 1t is easy to understand
why lis land is vastly more produc-
tive than when il first came into his
possession. Undertaking, good cul
ture, and geed manure will make any
land rich. - 1mertcan IyricultAr-

vines SO that they may twist and
twine together-the effect is very
fine.
The American ivy, known also as
the Virginia creeper, has very beau
utul foliage, the leaves growing five
together from n single stem. 1t is a
very rapid climber, running from ten
to twelve feet in = season, if planted
in rich soil, and scndin. off long bran
ches which sway gracefully in the
breeze, or attach themselves to adj
iaccnt points, and form rich testoons.
The appearance Of the vine through
out the summer is beautiful, and in
autumn its foliage assumes the most
brilliant hues, as if to make its exit
in blaze of g!ury.-Ameyican Bull

Wheat and Oats Together

In the spring OF 1867, wishing to
give such crop trial, l selected
piece of twenty-three acres, and havi
ing long, been ofthe opinion that our
manner If drilling, leaving an open
ing of six or seven inches, has been
productive of about as heavy a weed
crop as Of grain and to obyiate that,
il struck me that the entire surface

y suljcct of inquiry by no means
unintereSting, and certainly instruc-

from their tiger-haunts into the homes
of men? Who harnesscd the first

across a donkey? This last question
has been made the subject Of com
municaiion to the Paris Academy Of
Science. 1t appears that Professor

months back, pointed out, as one
fact, OF his observations, that horses
and asseswere absent from thcnumer-

thousand years before our era; and
he inferred that the founders of Egyp-
tan civilization, if they came from a
country where sol1peds abounded,
cmigratod at an epoch anterior te the
subjugation and demonstration Of
these animals. Now, an EgypoIogi~l
takes exception to this conclas on,
50 far as the ass is concerned, for he
cites an abundance OF, monumental
evidence, to prove that this qnadru-
ped was universally employed in
Egypt and Syria asa beast of burden,
from the most distant lines to which
granhic records and mural paintings

different; there is no evidence of its
use in the countries to the southeast
of the Euphrates, upto the time when
the shepherd kings were dominant, or
