Plant Young Trees.

r. W. Furnace says in the Nebraska
AdverttSer:
"We not only advise but urge the
planting of young small trees especially
if they are brought from distance. We
know that most persons have an idea that
the older and larger fruit tree is the
sooner they will get fruit. This is great
error; and can only possibly be true when
trees are 0e,y carefully taken up, and put
into the ground Immediately. AS a rule
however, when trees are sent to any dis
tance, q one-year apple tree is preferable
to a three-year old one. They cost less
(ten cents, instead of thirty for trans
portation, less work to handle them to
plant, are surer to live, have better and
more roots according to their size, are
more easily adapted to new soil, the tops
are more easily trained, and in six years
they are ahead of your three-year old
trees in all respects. In our opinion, you
will get bearing orchard sooner with
one-year old trees than with three-yea or
older trees"
Such has long been the teaching and
practice of the best nurserymen but ma
ny think they know better than those
who have had experience, and so plant
large trees.
They are, however, generally persons
who try to ridcule what they term book
farming, and they do not read agriculcu-
raj papers; and, indeed we can have but
little hope that they will abandon their
error"

PAIN KILJER-

from a letter from Mrs Ellen b. Mason, wife OF

My son was taken violently sick with dip

call physician and thought would try your Pain

did so and found the garge invariably cut of the
vescices and he raised them up often covered with
blood. He was taken on Sunday: on Wednesday
his throat was clear and his tongue rapidly clearing
of. also used it as liniment with castor oiland
hartshorn, for his neck. 1t seemed to me won
derful cure, and can but wish it could be known
to the many poor mothers in our land who are los

Butter From Milk.

NEANY persons in making butter
IVh think they must not churn any
thing but pure cream, and would rather
lose some of the cream in skimming than
to have any milk get in with it. | be-
lieve can make fifty pounds of butter
more from one COW during the season by
churning all the milk, than I could by
churning the cream alone. In the great
or part OF the season the milk will sour
before half the cream is raised, the atmos-
phere being warm and sultry, and the
cream viii often sour and taste bitter be-
fore churniug is gathered. In cold
weather it will not rise, and if we warm
it --as many dove hurt the quality Of
the butter.
Many persons, in setting milk, put
about two quarts in one pan, thinking the
cream will rise better Think of the
cream that will adhere to the edges Of a
pan in skimmiug, and then the number
you would have in setting the milk Of a
number of cows. Drachms make ounces,
ounces make pounds In churning the
milk VIC do away with the labor Of set
ting, skimming, washing and scalding.-
The expense Of crooks or pans for anum-
Der Of cows is considerable.
| have cream crooks holding from four
to six gallons, easily handled. | strain
one churning in two or more, cool it, let
it stand until it commences to get sour,
and then put it in an upright churn that
holds sixteen to twenty gallons; test it
with thermometer if too cold, put in
warm water; if too warm put in cold wa
ter, and churn it about one hour at sixty
four degrees Fahrenheit. The butter is al
ways the same color, unless the cream has
been frozen or scalded. If the pasture,
water and other things are the same, l
get the same amount of butter each day,
the whole season through.
[ use sheep power for churning. 1t is
simple easily constructed, and very dura-
bic; the whole cost will not exceed eight
dollars. In the last manner referred to,

ring the past two years, and five months

they can make more butter and make
it more easily, I should like to hear from

a Clever Capture,
BY L. =

A well known inspector Of the detective
force once related to us a clever capture,
effected by himself, Of daring thief, who
had more than once esceped from prison,
The inspector himself had considerable
experience, and tracked his man to a
public house; and, under pretence of
being an old thief himself threw his COM
paniou of his guard by relating anecdotes.
He was uDarmed himself, and know that
the real burglar-who was known to the
fraternity as "Bill the Cracksnan"-had
a revolver in hia breast pocket, with the
use of which he was thoroughly acquaint-
ed ; and the question was how to arrest
him single-handed. Story followed story,
and "reminiscences reminiscence, till Bill
and his cOmpaniOn-who called himself
Jerry Blake-became as thick as members
of the formers profession are proverbial
ly supposed to become.
"Now," said Mr.. Blake, after a pause.
as a last bit of anecdote I'll show Won
Joe the Tinman was took. He'd sworn how
as there wasn't man in the colony or
out of it as would take him single-handed.
Well, as the reward for his capture was
a heavy one, chap named Simmons, who
was then one of the mounted police, de-
termined to try it on. So what does he
do, knowing some of Joes haunts, but
brides stockman, who lived in a lonely
hut, on the side of a deep gully among
the hills, to let him take possession of the

Joe was accustomed to call whefs he want

ply of rum, for the stockman had been a
convict like himself, and a pal of his but,

Simmons, looking the very pictur' of a

Hello where's the stockman here ?'
asked Joe, stalking into the hut and ap-
preaching the fire; for Joe wasn't afraid
of the devil himself. Besides, he was all
stuck round with six-shooters and bowie

THE AMERICAN TUNE BooK.-This is
a complete collection of the tunes which
are widely popular in America, with the
most popular anthems and set pieces, pre-
ceded by new course of instruction for
singing schools, by DR.. Leonard Mason.
The tunes and anthems are selected from
all sources, by five hundred teachers
and choir leaders. This work was pro-
ieoted and carried to completion. even to
the printing, by Mason Brothers. Within
few days of its publication the firm was
dissolved by the death of one of the part
ners. They therefore disposed of the
work to the celebrated musical publish
ers, Oliver Ditson & Co., of Boston, Mass.
The plan of the work is unique. The
attempt is made to collect in one volume
all the tunes, from any and every source,
which are widely popular, in America.
No new tunes are admitted; the purpose
has been to give place to none but thor
oughly tested tunes, which have proved
popular, and to include, if possible, all of
these tunes.
OF the hundreds of tune-books which
have been published in the last fifty years,
there is, perhaps, not more than one which
has presented to the public as many as
twenty-five new tunes which have proved
widely and permanently popular, and
have continued to be extensively used
Many of these have contained not a single
new tune which has acquired more than
transient popularity. In view of these
facts, this volume may be considered the
treasure house of music books. We be-
lieve the American Tune Book to be such
a volume. 1t is really book with five
hundred editors.
The variety of meters is complete, in
Guiding all in the various hymn books in
common use. The description of meters
used in the Methodist Hymn Book is in
serted, which makes it valuable to that
denomination, as we'll as giving them the
advantage of all the other popular church
music.
The singing school department of the
book is new. This has been prepared and
revised by the eminent DIR. Lowell Mason.
The instruction is in na+nnh a+ina J, farrn
We have no doubt, taken all in all, that
it will prove the most popular and attract
i've book for singing schools ever issued.
We most earnestly commend our musical
friends to an examination of the work,
and have no doubt of the result, that it
will be very generally purchased by all
lovers of church music.

WALLINGFoRD.-Wednesday May 4tb,
will be day long remembered by the
young people of the village, the two great
events of the day being double wedding
and calico ball. The two remarkable
events had no connection, except that by
an accronical coincidence they both lap
pened one day. The weddings were in
Tinmouth, yet it was only just across the
town line, and the major portion of it and
those interested therein belong to Wal
lingford At about o'clock in the after
noon the invited guests assembled at the
residence of Hannibal Hopkins, Esq, the
horne of one of the brides, where the Rev.
Joshua Fletcher, D. D., appeared and by
a peculiar kind of " hocus pocus charac-
teristic of his creed and the customs of
this part of the world, he made four of
the assembled company into tic0, and then
" all went merry as a marriage bell" In
fact, there were two belles-both brides
being Bellies by name and bellies by repute

PRAYER of a host of friends for their well
fare Benjamin E. Grape, the only one of
the four who belongs to this village, will
carry with him not only the congratula-
tions of this entire community, but his
numerous friends among his late comrades
in arms will rejoice that he has now en-
listed for life. At the breaking out of the
war the two only sons of widower, they
having buried their mother shortly before,
entered the service together. One gave
his life for his country's good, the other,

young ladies look better than they did at
the ball, dressed in calico. the dress
