SIBERIAN DEEUSEONS DIS
PEELED.

Mr.. Barry's new book tells different
story about Siberia from the ordinary &C.
counts of travellers. Part of the enor-
NOUS area Of that country is almost I'M
inhabitable, it is true, but in the regions
through which Mr.. Barry travelled the
climate was everywhere temperate and
endurable," while great part of it could
boast of ga fine agricultural soil, a rich,
deep black loam," in which anything
would flourish. The roads are ''as good
as those in any other part of the Empire,
and there is "plenty of pretty scenery,
hill, wood, and WATER and the posting
houses are ''much better than those of
many parts of the centre of Russia. T"
The peasants are far more civilized and
better educated than those of the other
parts of the Empire-a result of
which the cause may be that 'the
churches are fewer in number, and OF
course the number of priests is also pro-
portionately smaller" And there "wo-
man takes her proper place, looking after
her household and her Children" instead
of being left, as she is in central Russia,
''to do the hard work and slave at field
labor, while her lord and master drinks
and sleeps. As TO the mineral wealth of
Siberia, it is something of which but q
very small number of people have any
idea, for at present only few spots are
worked, and those ''most unsatisfactory,
and under the worst possible manage
ment." 1t seems that 'there is plenty of
fine society to be met with in all Siberian
towns, and the time of ones sojourn
there always glides away pleasantly; the
regularity and evenness Of the climate
being an addition to the enjoyment OF
life"

SUMMER CARE OF ORCHARDS.
At this season of the year much may
be gained by taking off such of this
years sprouts as are not wanted on the
tree; it does the tree less harm TO remove
them before they become hard wood, and
is performed with less labor. ! have
learned by experience and observation
that fruit trees need but little trimming,
snd that should be done in June and then
only the young shoots cut. have seen
many orchards nearly ruined by severe
trimming. When large limbs are cut off,
the flow of sap will cease in that direc-
tioR, and the wood will entirely die near
the cut and will be half dead to some ex-
tent in the tree where the limb was cut
off this may heal over but there will be
decayed place; hence, tree full of de-
Gays cannot produce as perfect fruit az
one that is sound.
Every orchardist who believes in trim
ming should leave a few trees untouched
and time will teach him which is the true
system. Il would be of benefit to many
trees to cut the top nearly all out at the
time they are planted, then the top can
be trained to any shape desired. l have
q young orchard of thirty acres, aud
have trained those of spreading varsity
so that the lower limbs lsy On the grouU d;
when there is general failure Of fruit,
these limbs near the ground always pro-
duce. Many persons have said to me,
Why don't you trim your orchard up so
you can pillow under the trees2 This is
the great mistake of nearly all farmers,
they trim their trees too high. You msy
plow deep and near the tree until the
orchard has several years growth; but
after the roots and top begin to spread
you must plow shallow and not too near
the tree. An orchard while young needs
about the same cultivation as corn; if
the land is rich you may cultivate corn in
it for three or four years, after that it is
better to cultivate vine or root crop; but
never raise small grain In an orchard.
Never plant anything or allow grass to
grow nearer than six feet of the tree.
Trees that stand nesr decaying stumps
are very liable to be attacked by the grub
worm in the root. The best way to pre-
vent this is to take the ground away from
around the tree, and put peck or more
of unleached ashes around it and cover it
over with the soil, when the ground gets
wet I've is formed and soaks to the lower
roots and destroys the pest. The lye will
not kill the tree, as some theoretical
writers have claimed, but On the contrary
will make the trees grow. An orchard
should not be set with grass until the
trees are nearly aslarge as desired. Many
orchards have died for the want of drain
age; it should be drained very deep and
thorough. a liberal coat of manure will
help the trees wonderfully, bat never put
barnyard or chip manure nearer than four
feet of the tree; but ashes may be put
close to the tree. The necessity of de-
stroying all apples that fall before their
time, presume is well understood by all
farmers, therefore 1 will not speak of it.

GAMBLING RESORTS I'm EUROPE.


With this years end comes the final
squelching of the little spots devoted to
society and gambling in Europe. The
austere Emperor William of Prussia is
bound by his word to close up Hamburg,
Baden Baden and Wiesbsden, and to com
pei the hsbitues to retire from places
which have become more than homes to
them. What American family that has
spent two or three years in wandering on
the Continent does not almost tearfully
remember the mornings at Hamburg,
when the fountains spouted so gayly, the
bends played so Justify, and the fevered
crowd grew calm and forgot its excite
ments in the adjacent gambling rooms
the night before? What belle at
Newport or Saratoga now that
does not sigh for Baden from
time to tiIne-the conversation house and
the promenades in the corridors What
will the old iuvalids who are annually
wheeled about in chairs from Hamburg to
Nice, and from Nice back again, say
when they hear that the gayety of their
resorts is gomez For was not the green
covered table the wizard who created
these realms of beauty and endowed them
with spell
Belgium has caught the moral fever,
and the Senate has prohibited gambling at
Spa, so that the great summer resorts viii
soon be desolate, and there is no cOnso-
lation even in the announcement that the
Hon. John Morrissey has added new
charms to his gambling resort at Saratoga,
and that the aforementioned watering
place ''grows yearly more and more like
Baden" Indeed! just as we grow, do we
yearly become more and more like Europe
and Europeans, in their vicss, all over the
country.

REMEDY ron collie IN HoRsEs.

A citizen of East lansing, N. Y,
writes: ''This morning l had horse at
tackled with ''colic," as farmers and
horse owners often have; and as the cure
l used in this instance has proved the
best thing ever tried by me, and as have
used it many times with success, con-
cluded that SO perfect and simple cure
should be made known in the columns Of
your paper. As soon as the animal is
discovered to be unwell, get some com
mon table salt "a pint or SOY and place on
the back Immediately at the point where
the backbone and hips unite, and sprin-
kle with water from basin or pail every
few minutes until the salt dissolVes. Then
apply again as before, and leave the horse
with the damp salt on the back. This
has cured the mos inyeterate cases, and
/ have never seen it fail. Whoever uses
il may depend on cure"

A FEW nights since, at late hour, the

New Haven's popular physicians was used
by some midnight wsg, to the following
effect: ''The Doctor was in sound

MATHEMATICIAN HUGS,

To the Editors Of the Union and American:
MoRRIsTowN, July 10, 1s71.-In your
issue of the 14th, I notice an article
about Cucumber bugs" which induces
me to offer you for publication the fol-
lowing, which from oft-repeated expert
ments, know to be q perfect preventive
against their rayages. 1t is simply this
Before your vines are up, make of boards
hopper like the common ash hopper,
which the housewife uses for dripping
I've. Fill it with unrotted manure from
the stable, and run I've from il as the
housewife does from ashes, Apply this
I've to the vines and hills by sprinkliDg
them moderately through the nose of a
common watering-pot once in each two
or three days, from the time the vines are
up until they begin, to run freely, and no
cucumber bug will ever be seen about
them. And besides your hills are splen-
didly fertilized by the process. If at any
time during the season, the bugs make
their appearance, repeat the sprinkling
few times and they will leave.
The effect is the same upon melon,
vines, squash vines, etc.

BEAUTIFUL DREAMS.

She lay unconscious, In dreamy sleep,
While her life tide was ebbipg slowly,
We knew she would pass vita the king sun
As we watched By her piIlovlO vly.
And ysinly We waited her farewell word,
One whisper only the silence stirred
"Beautiful dreams! beautiful dresms!p
again we listened she slUmbered on:
Like leaf in the light vf8d shaken
Her breathing huttered, her pulse beat low.
We feared she would never wAken.
Che lifted her large and lustrous eyes
And uttered aga n, in glad surprise, .-.
"Such beautiful, beautiful dreans!o
No more on the wings of those beautiful dreams
She vas gone, and the day was ended;
As we folded her hands to her last repOse
The evening shades descended
And the stars came cut and wrote on high
In golden letters the MYSTERY
Beautiful dreamsi beautiful dreamsl7
All! no mere vision CT other days,
OF youths remembered story
Had lit her fair and fading face
With so rapturOus glory.
Shining across desths pallid night,
From tbs land that was breaking on her SIGHT
Came those beautiful, bsautiful deans.
White hands becEoned across the food,
Sweet lips uttered come CverP'
Eyes looked a welcome that never shone
In the gaze of mortal lover.
Lingering, listening, passing away,
She could only smile upon us and say
"Beautiful dreams beautiful dreams!'

From the Lexington Press, July II.
It has been reported, on good author

cent horse, Longfellow, for 500, 900.
The sum is almost fabulous, yet there are
those who think, even at those figures,
Mr.. Harper might have done better by
bringing his horse home and running him,
next fall, against Lexington's time, which
those who know the horse say he can
beat. In that case the horse would be
worth still more. TIE gentleman who
bought Lcngfellow is reported to be an
