TARRED PAPER AS PROTECTION
AGAINST MICE.

The Journal Of Chemistry, to which we
credited recommendation of tarred paper
as a protection for fruit trees in winter from
the ravages of mice, denies originating the
article, and the Manchester On. Ill., Msrror
md Farmer pronounces the prescription in.
furious to the trees. 1t is possible that the
particular compound of fish oil and tar rec
commended in that article may be injurious,
owing to the absorption Of the oil by the bark
of the trees. But the ordinary tarred roof
ing paper has been too long and too extern
sively used, and is too widely recommended
by experienced orchardists, to be liable to
this objection. We ourselves are too well
satisfied with the plan often recommended
by us,-tying laths around the trunk of the
trees,-to employ any other; but where tar

JUDsON's BRANCHING CORN.

Last spring we warned our readers that. in
all probability, this widely advertised and
be-puiled novelty was worthless. How any
sensible farmer could be so misled for Il mo-
ment rs to believe that on good ordinary SOIL
not rich, any variety of corn would produce
four, five, six and seven good ears to II stalk
equivalent to from 300 to 500 bushels of
shelled corn to the acre. passed conception.
Yet that was what was claimed for this vari-
ETY.. After thorough testing in many places
the general testimony is humbug.n We
planted II small piece of it, and found. as was
found elsewhere, that it rarely produced two,
and never more than two ears on "A stalk.
The " Kingsbury corn is far superior to it
in every respect.
When an agricultural fraud plays out =
in the east, it generally starts again in the
west, and we notice that Mr.. .Jutson has al
ready opened his campaign against the peck
cts of the farmers in that section. The Prdi-
re Farmer publishes cuts similar to those
that appeared last spring in the Rurdi NeW
Yorker, NeW England Homestead and other
papers, and although Il little cautious, says
enough in its favor to suit Mr.. Judsons pur-
poses. We assure the editor of that paper
that Ramsdell of Norway Dat fame, against
whom he waged such effective war last
spring, is IL paragon of honesty along side OF
Judson. We are proud to say that the YER
MONT FARMER was almost if not quite the
only paper in the country that effectively eau
toned its readers in advance against thi.
novelty"

METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS.

Longitude, A deg, 25 min, Al Sec, east.
Latitude, A deg, 81 min, 35 sec, north.
Mean temperature for the month, 26. 1862.

Slight fall of snow during the third day
of the month.
During the 2Sth and 29th, Echo Pond and
Seymour Lake were almost totally hid from
view by the vapor which rose from their sur
faces condensed and made visible by the
sudden fall in the temperature of the sur
rounding atmosphere. AS there was II strong
wind from the northwest blowing mt the
time, the air to the southwest of these sheets
of water was filled with fine particles of frost,
which seemed to enter every crevice. The
ascending vapor often took on somewhat
fantastic forms. At times it would rise in
whirling columns resembling wator-spouts
These would continue rising and moving
about over the surface of the water until the
outlines of their SUBMITS which spread out
as they rose, became indefinable CT blended
with the clouds in the upper regions of the
atmosphere. At other times it assumed the
form of enormous ropes, reaching from the
water to the heavens, which seemed to be
held and moved about at their upper cxtrem-
tiles by invisible hands.
