GAS TAR ON SEED CoRN.-Many farmers

tons of birds, pulling up tho sprouted corn

ground. This is trouble no farmer need
sustain, for gas tar put on the corn before
planting is sure preventative Corn well
saturated with it, is distasteful to birds and
almost every other kind Of depredators A
tablespoonful will be enough to cover peck
of corn. However it should be well and
thoroughly done, SO that every grain re-
ceives due share. It can be sprinkled
over and dried with ashes or plaster to sep
aratc the grains so as to plant with facility.
But the less it is busted the more it will be
avoided by birds and insects. Corn prop
erly treated with gas tar will be less liable
to rot in the ground as the tar resists ex-
cessive moisture, and will be no detriment

How TO ERADioArE SAssAFRAs BU.HEs.-
George Levy, writing to the Baltimore
american, gives his mode of destroying this
troublesom c bush: Many farms are infested
with sassafras bushes, and plans have been
adopted for their destruction with little sue
cess, the trouble being that when they are
grubbed up every small root left will, the
ensuing spring, produce separate shoot,
and thus tho numbers increase. Thirty
years ago paacticsl farmer, who had seen
four-score years, told me that, if the bushes
were grubbed up the day before and the day
after tho full of the moon iu July, and the
day before and the day after the full of tho
moon in August, the small roots left in the
ground will never terminate again. After
thirty years experience, am prepared to
say to all who are troubled with them sus-
pend all other work embrace the opportu-
nifty offered during the four days [ have
named and, in the coming spring you may
see one in a thousand; but follow the same
course next summer, and you shall see your
enemy no more. l speak faom experience
l leave others to philosophize and theorize
upon it.

Landscapes Under the Sea.

Mr., Green, the famous diver, tells sin
gular stories Of his adventures when making
search in the deep water of the ocean. He
thus sketches what he saw at the ''Silver
Bank" near Hayti:
''The banks of coral, On which my di-
wings were made, are about forty miles in
length. On this bank is presented to tbs
diver one Of the most beautiful and snblme
scenes the eye ever beheld. The water va
ries from ten to one hundred feet when sub
merged, with but little objection to the
sight. The bottom of the ocean, in many
places, is as smooth as marble floor; 10
others it is studded with coral columns, from
ten to eighty feet in diameter. The tops of
those more lofty support myriad of pyra
midal pendants each forming myraid more,
giving reality to the imaginary abode of
some water lymph. Ia other places the
pendants form arch after arch as the diver
stanos on the bottom of the ocean and
gazes through the deep winding avenues, he
finds that they fill him with as sacred awe
as if he were in some old cathedral which
had been long buried beneath the ocean S
waves. Here and there the coral extends
even to the surface of the water as if the
lotler columns were towers belonging to
those stately temples that are now in ruins
There are countless varieties of dimiuutive
trees, shrubs, and plants in every crovice of
the coral, all being Of a faint hue, owing to
the pale light they receive, although of eve
ry shade, and entirely different frca, plants
that I am faulil Jar with that vegetate upon
dry land One in particular attracted my
attention; it resembled sea fan of immense
size, of variagated colors and the most brill
liant hue
