4 NEw YORK JUDGE THAT WOULDN'T

burglar recently, Judge Bedford, of New
York. said:
There are circumstances connected
with this case that are exceedingly un'
pleasant. This man has been shown to
be q professional burglar. and it is u
burning shame that the social corruptions
of our city are such that men of this
stamp have friends who dare to approach
a Judge and District Attorney with brides
for their release. Ii is time that actiye
measures were taken to stop this; and tc
show what favor they may expect from

Economy in Fuel.

The Technologist says one cord oil
wood. cut and split fine. and corded up
beneath shelter while il is yet green,
will furnish more heat after it has been
seasoned than two cords Of the same kind
of wood which has been continually ex-
posed 10 the alternate influence OF storm
and sunshine. Here is something Tor
farmers to think OF. A saving OF one
half of the amount OF wood usually con-
sumed by those who have left their fuel
out of doors, is an important item. not
only in The absolute amount of wood that
may be saved but in the labor that is re-
quircd TO work ii up. More than this,
contemplate the convenience and luxury
of quick, lasting, and hot fire, when
compared with the perplexities incident
to the inceSSant Kissing and simmering
of poor fire; and the stewing and Try
ing that must he endured before one can
get the fire up to II baking heat.

Some years ago there was good
deal of excitement among the people of

on the subject of religion. and almost

to lead different life. Among The rest

LYING IN BED.-lt is often question
among people who are unacquainled
with the anatomy and physiology OF
men. whether lying with head exalted OF
on level with the body, is the most un-
wholesome. Most, consulting their own
ease on this point, argue in favor of that
which they prefer, Now, although
many delight in bolstering up their heads
at night, and sleep soundly without in
Jury. yet we declare i. to be a dangerous
habit. The vessels in which the blood
passes from the heart to the head are nj
ways lessened in their cavities when The
head is resting in bed higher than the
body; therefore, in ail diseases attended
with fever, the head should be pretty
nearly on level with the body; and
people ought to accustom themselves TO
sleep thus. and avoid danger.

Orchard Disease.

..Sears." in his recent visit this way
saws: We were invited by Mr. ,. .
Smith, of Fore Street, Oxford. to deeiaro
the disease which has befallen his apple
orchard. We found many trees with
dead places on their trunks in some
eases two feet long. This was not oe-
casioned by sun scaid nor by winter XII
limo as the defect was where the trunks
were shaded. and unlike on the north
and south sides OF the tree. Thls or
chard stands on u decided granite son
without any indication of the iron IN It's
composition.
The verdict was that the lack OF some
,hino in the soil had caused disease OF
the trees, which manifested itself IN the
decay of the wood and bark ut these de-
fective points. We thought the lack OF
iron in the soil might be the cause. MIR.
Smith thought so too, and had applied
copperas to two trees by way OF expert
ment. Although applied bat one year
ago, it had produced healthy effect on
the trees to which it was applied. Here
is hint, gentlemen orchardists.
Mr.. Smith is somewhat engaged in the
culture of strawberries He has nearly
or quite an acre of old and new set plants.
He cultivates nine varieties. He will
raise some two hundred boxes this year,
although but a small part OF his vines
are in bearing, and sells them at Norway
village for % cents, box returned.
The Wilson bears largely-thinks the
Coliax will beat in measure. but not in
quality. IIo had 2S rows OF the famous
Agriculturist and raised q quarts. while
six rows of the Wilson alongside gave
sixty quarts, or about ten to one. He
would recommend the Wilson, Hoyey
and Brooklyn Scarlet. That his berries
are beautiful. done up in a mountain OF
sugar, we can fully attest.
He cut the vines from one row last
year, and the plants attained three times
the growth; but while the berries are
ripening on the unclipped vines the 9TH
ers are Just out OF blossom, and will be
fortnight later. lie has successfully
mulched with evergreen boughs. He
thinks the way is to put we'll rotten man
ure on the plants and then cover with
boughs. We would think quite as favor
ably OF fine straw as mulch, which when
packed between the rows in the spring
will give vegetable manure, prevent
grass and weeds from growing and save
the berry from grit.
A part OF his vines are upon high in
tervale which abounds in sand. They
are doing finely. Mr.. 5. says that nIne
out OF every ten who attempt TO cult
yate Strawberries will fail for lack OF at
tention 70 cultivation. Just so. The
soil must be rich with well rotten manure.
and the plants must be well hoed and
mulched 10 insure success. The common
farmer complains that he has not time TO
do this. while it is work OF necessity
and mercy 10 hoe his corn and potatoes.

"A singular method of making butter
has lately come into quite extensive use
in France. based upon the observed fact
that cream is changed into butter by be-
ing simply buried in the earth. The the
DRY OF the result is not very Ineligible,
though the fact is stated to be beyond
question; in Normandy, and other parts
of France, butter is actually prepared ON
large scale in this way. The process
consists in placing the cream in linen

q loot and half deep in the earth. and
allowing il to remain from twenty. -four
TO twenty five hours. After the expira-
ton OF this period the cream is found to
have become hand, and it is then broken
up by means of wooden beaten, into
small pieces, and water enough poured
upon it 10 wash out the bu.:ermilk. To
prevent any mixture of earth, it is adyis.

method of making butter saves great

The Han Panic.

The efforts being made by interested
parties to keep up and raise the price of
hay by cries of short crop and cOnse-
quent scarcity Of winter fodder for cattle
is most senSeless and wicked. Ii is true
that the hay.crop of Maine the present
year will be diminished from last year,
but the per centage is not so great Us has
been represented. We have taken some
pains 10 ascertain the precise condition OF
the crop in this vicinity and in some
other parts of the State, by conversation
with farmers and others practically ac-
quainted with the facts; and the result of
our inquiries is that on wellkept land
the decrease is from 10 to 20 per cent.
while in few instances have the figures
reached so low as 90 per cent. q; and then
only on old, WORKOUT land with thin soil &.
We estimate therefore that the hay crop
Of Maine for the year 1871 will rot fall
off from last years product more than %
per cent.
But admitting the truth of the alarm.
lists predictions, there is no reason for an
exorbitant price. The law of coupensa-
ton applies here in the abundance and
cheapness of corn. Fifteen bushels OF
which can be bought for SIP. with ton
OF hay, is fully equal for stock. to two
tons of herds grass. At the present high
cost OF hay in this market (SS3) the use
of corn practically reduces the price OF
food to S22 30 per ton. The corn crop of
the west is unfailing. and there is no
prospect that the price at the east will adj
vance; but on the contrary, it is likely to
drop. Our advice 20 farmers is to feed
moro corn and winter the young stock,
which is sometimes sold in the fall
through necessity. when it is not fit for
beef. and the loss of which on the farm

The Wedding Bucket.

There once lived in the State OF Con-
pecticut somewhat curious old fellow,
whose wife. luckily for the peace OF the
family. was pattern of mildness ana
Christian patience.
They had one daughter. a kind hearted
girl, who very naturally became her Ia
theirs Cavorite, and when the time came
for her to be married the father did all he
conld 10 provide her with IN outfit suited
tor the occasion.
A ,lay or two after the wedding, the
now SOM i'm law came To take the bride
and her possessions 10 their new home.
The goods were carefully slowed away
in the x.cart, and all things made ready
for The departure, when the old man
stepped forward and said;
Harry, you are about taking my gal
away, and though you have the best right
to her. yet must own il is hard parting
with her. She is spunky pieee-got a
good deal OF the old man about her'
Now. Harry, take this water pail. (pro'

to use il. 1t would have saved many q
