EVergreens.

EvERGREENs should be much more ex-
tensively planted than they are at pres
ent. Having so many good qualities to
recommend them, they should be found in
every door yard, shrubbery or pleasure
ground. Belts of evergreens form an ex-
cellent shelter for orchards, gardens, and
homesteads; but it is expecting too much
to suppose that a single row of pines or
spruce will form an effectual barrier
against the rushing winds OF bleak prai-
rle or any other exposed aspect. A belt,
or screen of evergreens, should consist of
several rows of trees so arranged as to
have the spaces of the front rank covered
by the trees of the second, and 50 on
through the whole plantation. Ever
greens raised in nurseries are better suit
ed for transplanting than those brought
from the forest, for they are more accus
toned to exposure, and better furnished
with roots and branches. We advise all
our readers to plant evergreens, as they
are both ornamental and useful. In most
parts of the Northwestern States, May is
the best month for transplanting them
they should be taken up and set out with
the greatest care lest the roots be damag-
| ed by the spade or by exposure.
Some very intelligent fruit-growers
have adopted the plan of planting ever
greens in the orchard among the fruit
trees, and claim that they have a very
favorable effect, by sheltering the trees
at the critical time of blossoming and set
ting of the fruit. Ranks of quick grow.
ing deciduous trees, such as poplars, will
lows, etc, are some times planted to the
windward of young evergreens, to shell
ter them from the high winds of Spring
and Autumn; and when the evergreen;
have grown the deciduous trees are cut
down. Restern RuraL.

The Bones and HOOfs of Animals.

IT has been ascertained by well con-
Quoted experiments, that when bones,
horn piths, shells of the hoofs of animals,
hair, and all such refuse of the slaughter
house have been spread on the surface of
cultivable fields that are covered with
grass during the process of irrigation, the
organic fertilizipg will soon be dissolved
by the water, and the minute particles
will soon be lodged in the soil among the
grass roots where the rich pabulum will
be appropriated to the development of
growing plants. The purest water that
flows from Q mountain spring has been
found TO dissolve bones and hair with
wonderful rapidity. And as the stream
flows along gently, among the stems and
leaves of grass, the valuable solution is
not borne from the field unless water is
turned over the surface in sweeping tor
rents And even when such coarse fer
tilizing material is spread over the surface
OF the land where the advantages of irri-
CATION cannot be rendered available, the
frequent rain and dew operate as a pow
eTful solvent of all such rough substances
that abound in valuable plant food. Large
quantities of hogs hair are frequently
cast into the river or deposited on some
dumping ground, when, if spread on
lawns, or grass ground, the dressing
would promote the dev elopment of the
crops for several seasons, qu te rs much
as an. equal Quantity of ground bone,
American farmers permit hundreds oi
tons of such phosphate material to be
shipped to England every season, " hen
II they were alive to their own pecuniary
interests, every fragment and tuft of haiI

Care OF Harness.

IT is very bad policy, for all bat the
saddler, to keep gears in or near the horse
stable. Ammonia is very injurious to
leather, especially when it contains a
large amount of grease; hence, gears
which are allowed to remain in the stable
are always more or less injured by the
ammonia which constantly arises from the
manure; but this injury is in proportion
to the amount of cleanliness which is OBJ
served in the stable. OF all kinds those
in which horses or sheep are kept are
most injurious, because of the volatile ma.
ture of manure. If COW stables are kept
clean, the injury to gears kept in them
will be but slight The best plan is to
have small dry room on purpose; such
room can, with few boards and nails,
soon be made, and the saving in the hsr-
ness will soon repay the trouble. To
clean and oil a harness the best plan is to
separate the harness into the smallest pos
sible pieces. wash each piece well in Cas-
tile soap and water until cleaned of all
outside grease and dirt the pieces then
to be laid on board or table, meats foot
or tanners oil applied with brush, gen
orally using from half pint to pint Of
oil to pair of heavy farm harness; to
| clean carriage harness, only the dirty parts
should be washed and creased as before,
If you wish to give the gears black ap-
pearance at the expense of clean hands, a
small portion of lampblack may be mixed
with the oil before applying it to the
leather. Irish Farmers Gazette.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD
Saving Of wood.

Nor by getting this stove or that, but
by managing the stove you have. First
secure dampor, If you have not that
necessary appendage; any blacksmith
will make you one for about fifty cents.
Next, see that you have dry wood. A
stove Is not intended as an evaporator,
only as far as it has to do with pots and
kettles. Let the sun do this for you, or
better the dry air of your woodshed. The
man who cares little for his wood, will be
pretty sure TO be needless about his stove;
but the wife and .childfen should not be
made to suffer and to them we address
ourselves in this case. See that your
men get dry wood; urge them TO do IL In
time; surely some good can be wrought
in this way.
II you are to purchase stove, we ad-
wise you to get one size larger than you
intended as 1t is the large stoves that
save, not consume, the wood, as Is usually
supposed. A small stove has larger
draught than large one. This draft
ventilstee the room (thus cooling) and
draws the cold In, up and through the
pipe, thus forming draught of compare
lively cool air in and out of the stove.
The only advantage the stove gets from
the fire is by radiation. This radiation a
one, and as more iron is heated, so more
heat is thrown into the room. Besides,
there is less draught, and hence more
heated air in the stove; but the greater
amount of heated iron is what does the
business.
Another thing; we are too "saving" in
the feeding of our fire. A little wcod re
| quires constant feeding, with little heat
| the fire is liable to 90 out and the air o.
| the room is in a constant state of motion
This is = healthy room for healthy per
son, bat bad for an invalid.
| The true way is; secure O large stove
have it air tight, so that the draught re
spends to your hand. Build good fire /
needed; let burn till there are sufficien
Goals to support few large sticks. A
bed of Goals in the morning precludes this
Put on those sticks, with few small
pieces; let it burn for awhile, with not tot
strong draught, then close. This will
stop all currents in the r0om-in the stow
and you will have the air in your stow
thoroughly heated, and your iron will
soon show the effect by quietly heating
your room. 1t will do much more; it vii
save your wood, for it will contine thar
bor) the heat for your purpose, instead Q
carrying it out of the chimney. Yo
thus have comfort, economy, less care
three points which together make stron
argument.
1t is the draught that is the destructio
of our wood. Not only that-we get n
benefit from it, save only our labor for ou
pains, while our comfort is invaded. TIL
damper then, dry wood, a large fire, larg
stove, and you will have comfort an
economy.-Ihe Household.
