Trees by tho Roadside.

Who does not enjoy the grateful
shade of trees by the roadside, in hot
weather! Who does not admire the
beauty Of an avenue between two rows
Of overMching trees? Who has ever
thought that trees may be the most use
full things in the world for preserving
our roads in good conditions Says a
correspondent of the Massachusetts,
Ploughman
Standing one day on a street lined
with elms, n superintendent of high
ways remarked that on that street
there had not been expended collar
in twenty years. The street was an
eighth of mile long, smooth and
needed no repairs. The superinten-
dent having been inquired of now he
accounted for the fact, replied he could
not answer From what has been said
any one might have answered the ques-
tion. The explanation is simply this:
the roots OF these trees have construct.
ed a natural bridge under the road.
There lies continually a network Of
firm, elastic tibres permeating the
ground In every possible direction. BY
the action of these tibres the road bed
IS gradually raised higher, and what
was formerly a wet swampis now a dry
road. So the natural wear is more
than compensated for by the annual
growth of the roots of these noble
elms. Here one may ride over natu-
raj live bridge, self-sustaining, econom-
ical, perpetual, that Will not break
through, however great or heavy the
travel.

Loss OF u Curious Document.

The burning Of the archiepiscopal
palace at Bourges following SO close on
the conhagration at Nancy naturally
inspires great alarm for other build
ings. The palace at Bourges, built IN
Louis XIV. style, was of no architectu
raj value in itself, but 1t contained works
Of art and manuscripts Of nestlmable
price. The most remarkable docu
ment in the bishops collection was,
without doubt, the order for the exc
cution of Jesus Christ, which was the
personal property OF the family De la
Tour d'Anyerguc. The order runs
thus:
"Jesus Of Nazareth, of the Jewish
tribe Of Juda, convicted of imposture
and rebellion against the divine au-
thority of Tiberius Augustus, Emperor
Of the Romans, having for this sacri-
lege been condemned to die on the
cross by sentence of the Judge, Pom
tins Plate, on the prosecution Of our
Lord Hcrod, lieutenent of the Emperor
in Judea, shall be taken to morrow
morning, the 23d day Of the ides of
March, to the usual place of punish
ment, under the escort of company OF
the Pr@torian guard. The so-called
King Of the Jews shall be taken out by
the Strunean gate All the public
officers and the subjects of the Emper-
or are directed to lend their aid to the
execution Of this sentence. (Signsd)

RED RIVER MATTERS.
Railroad Crossing of the Red River
Stage Lines and Travel.
From the st. Paul Press.

Mr.. c. c. Proctor, the energetic and
capable agent Messrs, Blakely & Car
penter, arrived from the Red River
country yesterday, bringing several
items of interest. A large number of
people are an1iously awaiting the final
location of the Northern Pacific road
on the Red River, as well as the cross
ing upon that stream. When this mat
ter is determined, these persons viii
at once take up their abode mt the
crossing, under the impression that
large town viii b. built in that locality,
wherever it may be, and they wish to
be on hand early in order TO reap the
benefits which are supposed to fall to
the lot of first settlers As yet the i'm
portant point has not been decided
upon, but it is believed that the cross
ing Will be made at point about forty
miles below Fort Abercrombie.
During the summer the stage COM
pany have been running 4 line of stages
from Benson and Morris to Frog Point,
forty miles below Abcrcrombie on the
Red River, and in order to accommo
date the trade and travel which is daily
growing larger in that region, they
have determined to operate hne of
stages from Frog point to Fort Garry,
commencing on the first day of Septem-
her, or SIS soon thereafter as practica-
bic Frog Point has been the "head
of navigation during the season, but
owing to the low stage OF water, the
demands of trade require the establish
ment of some other style or transport
ton into the settlements of Pembina
and Manitoba. Emigrants are still
crowding northward in large numbers,
the majority of whom now go through
to Fort Garry. Vast quantities of
freight are are accommodating at the diff
ferent stations on the Red River, which
have been taken by Burbank's teams to
the river, but the boats are unable to
transport them as fast as they are de-
hvered There are more goods on the
line than can be taken through to their
destinations this season.
The force engaged on the Northern
Pacific between Otter Tail junction and
Red River is small at the present time,
but it is believed that the number will
be largely increased after the close of
the harvest.

which is indicated by the yellowish, or
dingy color, invading the green, the

When cut, set in small shocks, and
the moment your corn is hard and ripe,
husk it, and bring it to your cribs.
Don't go maudling about into the

like a man. Tie up your stalks In

big as your body, which, if you carry

rain, but damp, and just little soegy.
House under cover in the hovel or

mind, it Is no injury to them as fodder,
as it makes them more tender and pal

or rotten sense; as if your stalks were
stacked out of doors, and the rain, with
melting snow, goes perculating up and

aim very sorry, reader, but the
memoranda from Prof. Johnson has
disappeared from my table and can
not add it here as intended, but will,
instead, add a memoranda Of matters
quite as pertinent. As we said figures,
some figures you shall have.
Average yield of cornstalks to the
acre in hills three feet six inches, by
three feet six inches.
Common culture, tons per acre.
Better culture, q tons per acre.
Good culture, tons per acre.
Best high culture, b to tons per
acre
Estimating quality Of hay in a NOW:
Well-settled hay is 500 cubic feet to the
ton, or four cords less u cubic feet :;
thus, a bay l6xG0 with 20 feet posts,
viii be 16x6O- 960x20-19, 00cubit feet.
Five hundred cubic feet into 10, 200
cubic feet, and you will have 80 %
tons Of hay in your bay. Add one-half
in bulk to this, and you will have an
equally fair criterion by which to esti-
mate your tonnage of corn stalksf if
cured and house as | have indicated.
The boys must tell us on this theory
how many cubic feet of stalks there are
to n ton.

The LOrd, the Lady. and the Mysterious
TELEGRAM.

The London Court Circular relates
the following anecdote respecting a
noble lady, who is young, beautiful,
and good:
During the Army Bill debate her no.
bic husband, who is rs proud and fond
Of her as he should be, was just about
to rise and deliver a violent attack up
on something or somebody, when n
telegram was put into his hands. He
read 1t, turned pale, and quilted the
house, called cab, drove to tho Char
ing Cross station and went to Dover,
and was no more heard of until the
next day, when he returned to his own
home, and to his first inquiry was told
that the Countess was in her own room.
He fastened 10 her, and terrific row
ensued, the exact words of which
no one knows but themselves
At last, however, he burst out !:
"Then what do you mean by your
telegram" Meant What | said
of course What are you talking
abouti' Read it for yourself" re-
turned the still unappeased husband.
She did read 81 flee with Mr.. ---,
to Dover straight. Pray for me- For
a moment she was startled, but then
burst into hearty fit of laughter
" Most dreadful telegraph people! No
wonder you are out of your mind, |
telegraphed simply, ten with Mrs.
--, in Dover street. Stay for me. -
His Lordship was SO savage at the laugh
he had raised against himself that he
was at first inclined to make Parlia-
mentary question Of it, but, listening
to more judlcious, advice, RETAINED.

Apparatus for Drying Woolens.

Experience has proved that, in dry
ing wool and wooden fabrics, the proper
regulation of the temperature is
quite essential. To assure the greatest
speed in drying, without injury to the
fibre, the temperature must not exceed
IS degrees to 81 degrees Fahrenheit,
while the air charged with moisture
must be promptly removed by suitable
ventilation. With these principles in
view, Havrez, of Nerviers, constructed
a drying apparatus which is said to be
especially serviceable in drying estab-
lishments. 1t consists essentially of
two chambers, with double bottoms,
between which steam pipes are ar
ranged. One of the chambers contains
fresh goods, while in the other are
such as have been already acted
upon or partially dried. The
steam, under proper regulation Of its
temperature, il then let on, and itpasses
es from the chamber with the fresh
goods to the other. The drying air,
however, is at the same time driven in
the opposite direction by the ventilator;
it enters the chamber with the half
dried charge, and escapes through the
chimney with the moisture it has taken
up in the latter part of its course over
the fresh goods A change in the po-
sition Of the valves reverses the cur
rent of steam, as well as that OF
air, when it becomes necessary, by re-
filing the chamber.

A contributor of the Duchess Farmer
writes as follows:
Now we undertake to say that corn
stalks, cut at the proper time, properly
cured and housed, judiciously fed, are
worth ton for ton more than timothy
hay for neat stock at least one-quarter;
and that we are prepared to prove,
first, by the following chemical analy-
sis Of Prof. Johnson, of Yale; and sec
ond, rs the result of careful and
elaborate experiment made by us in
1Sj9-G0 The late Prof. |. l. Mapcs
stated as the result Of his experiments,
that well-cured and housed corn fod-
der, steamed into pulp and fed to
milch cows, was equal to the green
food OF September, and worth % per
cent more than the best timothy hay,
independent of bulk.
The reader is not to misunderstood
us, and imagine we are recommending
the stalks at the sacrifice of the grain
byanv means, but viii find in the fol-
lowing suggestions We give the largest
care to both; and while securing in the
stalks the very largest possible vantage,
do not lose an atom Of value in the
grain Long ago, in and from the red
mans time, this plant was grown with
a special eye to the grain, and properly
SO, as it is our standby. The Ameri-
can people would shove off to the sea
but for their corn.
We will suppose that the corn har-
vest is approaching, and that our dear
friend Thrift" is keeping his eye on
his corn-feld with the same knowing
winks that twinkled under "them lids, "
when he was looking after his pretty
kitty Clover" and "ny dear son
Timothy" Thrift has studied the mat
ter, and found out two things-tirst, to
go up and down his corn rows, and
when he finds more than ordinary
thrifty stalk having a fine, large and
fully developed ear, or peradyenture
two ears on it, and in maturity, some
days in advance Of its fellow-ctizens,
be sticks little mark in the down by
ITS side, and writes his mark on the
fence opposite,
Atcutting-up time this hill is left
tied mp to Il stake-and when the ears
are ripe they are pulled off at the stalk
and hung up in the garnet or granary to
dry. The husks pulled back, two tied
together, and hnng over a pole. Hence
Thrift always has the very best OF seed
ho@ his field, acchmated to him, and
not If garden culture to run out the
second year. Second, he found ont
that just so soon as the corn began TO
show the slightest evidences OF glazing,
It was no longer drawing any susten-
anoe from the stalk. In fact it was
matured, and following the general
law Of maturity was drying aud hard
ening; needing no further assistance
RON any source but itself Again he
found the s.alks were now fully
charged with saccharine and .tarchy
matter Any additional growth was
sending these into woody fiber. Now
as tae grain no longer needs the stalk,
anu Won don't want 10 grow wood, or
a.aela bat to retain the sacchar,ne and
starch, Won must stop the growth, so
tle corn, now, to-day, at once, said
1a1.t, and it is done. No matter how
.5aen the stalks are, the more green
'-e Better So your grain shows tie first

How it was Done



Lizzie A. and Gertie b., two Of the
most beautiful girls OF the year, fixed
their hopes on Henry D., a grand par
ii, from New York. One afternoon
Miss Lizzie and the young gentleman
walked through the park after an ex-
tended stroll, during which much love
making went on, and while passing
through the halls of the Grand Onion
the lady suddenly tottered and ielI
fainting into the arms Of herattendant.
1t wac bold strike and victory for a
moment seemed fastened there. Gertio
soon heard of thls, and her fertile
mind grew tired with scheming. AT
last smile grew upon her face She
owns the incest pony phaeton IN Sara
toga, and the next day she invited the
gentleman to ride. He accepted and
met his fate. The well trained horse
was quietly going on his way, when
suddenly the wheel came off and the
pretty Gertie lay faintlng on the hard
road. The terrified Henry lifted herin
his arms and bore her to convenient
farmhouse. For two days she refused
to recover from the shock. On the
third day the remorsetul Henry, who
was constantly with her, could stand 1t
no longer. He surrendered; she recoy-
cred, and soon there is to be a wedding
ID high life Now comes the touch Of
nature Miss Lizzie forgot her loss in
admiration Of the grand coup detat
and has already congratulated her rival
upOn brilliant victory

The Needs Of Plants.

The following article by Archibald

In one or other form, the vital or
CANS Of the plant perform similar Off
ces for the plant, that the vital organs
of the animal do for the animal. The
leaf is to the vegetable what the lungs
are to the animal, or the gills to the
fish. The spongeole is a delicate or
gan that terminates the minute root
lets, which does suggestive and Sc
cretive work by which those clements
of the plants are gathered or distilled
from the soil, that remains after burn
ing, and which we call the ash Ia or
der to grow crops successfully, the soil
should be soft and pliable to- sufficient
depth, should have sufficient supply
of both air and water, and having
neither in excess A heavy, soQRv, wet
piece Of land has not air enough, and
when the water dries out is too hard.
Gavelly land is apt to have surplus Of
air and not water enough, which is as
bad as the other extreme A heavy
soil, well underdrained, is the moss IA
vorable for crops.
The sooner the soil is stirred to air

to be arabic, the better it win be for the
