The first and only Button Hole and Sewing Ma
chine Combined that has made its advent in this
or any other country, is assuredly the King of
Sewing Machines. 1t is the most substantially
built, has the fewest working parts, and the most
accessible. DerangementS and breakages
are obviatnd in consequence of the
excellent mechanism employed in its con-
structon 1t is beautiful in design and finish
Incompatible in the simplicity of its construc-
tion, very rapid and easy in its movements, and
the most thoroughly perfected yet offered to pur-
work hitherto thought impossible for Sewing
Machines A trial will convince the most skepti-
cal of its unquestionable superiority.
RSSF@ 1t obtained two prizes at the Cincinnati
Industrial Expos ition.-a Gold and Silver Medal.
The Gold one for the most complete Sewing Ma

Turnl,s Down Green Crops.

&A.S nv - ~1HCC1 NHVRoe
It has got into the papers that blowing
down green crops produces acid in the soil
from the decomposition which Is hurtful to
crops that it is better to turn under when the
crop is matured, that the decomposition will
then be slower, and no hurt will result.
This is doubtless true with some soils
those deficient in alkaline matter. But as
most soils contain lime and potash and other
kindred materials, this acid is not only harm
less but beneficial, as it unites with the alkalis
making plant food, which otherwise might
lie as it already has for ages, useless to veg
citation.
1t is for this reason that the turning under
ofgrcen crOpsls highly recommended, not be-
cause the chemical action is not known, but
because experience has demonstrated its ad-
vantage The great majority Of cases have
demonstrated that 1t is good thing to turn
down the full, blossoming, succulent crop.
The alkalis are most always in some form to
take up and unite with the acid. In soils
where the acids remain free, would it not be
well to sprinkle the clover with lime before
blowing, or previously apply it to the soil
In such q case lime would be benefit in any
event, as the soil requires It.-Utica Herald.

Chinese Method Of preserving
(sr3DeS.

method of preserving grapes, SO as to have
them at their command during the entire
year and recent author gives US the follow
ing account Of the method adopted. 1t con-
sists in cutting circular piece of ripe pump
kin or gourd, making an aperture large
enough to admit the hand.-The interior is
then completely cleaned out, the ripe grapes
are placed inside, and the cover replaced and
pressed in firmly.-The pumpkins are then
found to retain their freshness for long time
We are told that very careful selection
must be made of the pumpkin, the common
field pumpkin, however, being well adapted
for the purpose in question.

TEA CULTURE IN NORTH CARoLINA.--A cor
respondent of the Wilmington On Co. Jo"rnal
states that his brother has raised plants and
cured tea which cannot be cycellcd in flavor
by any imported tea. These plants were OBJ
tanned before the rebellion from the Agrcul-
tural Bureau OF the Patent Office. The nun.
Der Of plants has been constantly increased by
planting each year all the seed realized. The
later plants are fully equal 10 those first
planted The te. culture was first commenced
in this country by Mr.. Junus Smith Of South
Carolina, rs early as ls4s. 1t has proved
both hardy and productive, bearing uninjured
extremes Of temperature very destructive to
some of our native plants VI. Campbell, in
Tennessee, has also succeeded very well with
the tea plant There is no reason why it
should not be successful over large portion
of our country. The tea plant is beautiful
evergreen, and will make desirable orna.
mental shrub for door.yards and gardens. In
this way its culture may be gradually extern
ded until it becomes a staple crop IN this
country. which offers as many advantages for
its growth, at least, AS China.

NJ l.. Dunlap's idea of planting forest trees
is THAT they must be closely planted. in order
to make proper upward growth, and will need
to be thinncd out year after year, according
to the rapidity of growth. About three thous
and trees to the acre will answer a good pur-
pose, This will make them about four feet
each way. Some planters prefer three feet,
and begin to ,hin out i'm five or six years.
The wood that is obtained IN thinning will
more than pay for the extra plants and labor.
