CITY Tax Collector.

We learn that a reliable and capable gentle
man proposes to collect the corpatiOn taxes this
year for two per cent, charging that amount for
what he collects up to the first of January, 1878,
and charging himself with two per cent. for
What he fails to collect up TO that time. This is
certainly proposition worthy of consideration.

The Household Reader.

John was the reading member OF 4
large household. The rest logged on
at the common pace of farmers
family, content to let John do the read
ing and learning for them all. 1t is
hard to tell how he struck out this line
by himself, but it is not uncommon to
see very marked differences in the tastes
of brothers and sisters brought up alike.
When the boys were toasting their feet
before tie fire watching the CT with
their half-open eyes, or the more wide
awake teaching the dog some new trick,
John was seated quietly in his nook by
the dim candle-light reading some book
or paper in which he is wholly absorbed.
The boys laughed at him for digging
away so, nobody appreciated it about
the house, but somehow it came about
that Johns was the governing mind of
the household. If father thought of
ditching lot, he asked John what he
thought of it, and where it had better
be dug. John could give reason for
his opinion always, and it was rare
thing to go against his judgment. Mo-
ther never undertook any new venture.
even to buying new wringer or a new
churn without consulting John. Will
liam was the oldest boy, but no one eveI
thought of asking his advice. Some
times when the old gentleman was over
persuaded to go against Johns advice,
he almost invariably regretted it. The
neighbors also grew into the habit of
asking his judgment on matters of i'm
portance, and as he grew up to manhood
he was universally respected. His taste
for reading had kept him home of even
ings, the time, if ever, when boys are
lead away by evil companions, his read
ing, joined with industrious habits, had
made him an intelligent, practical work
man, prepared to take a much higher
stand than his brothers who had the
same advantages, but failed to improve
them.
knowledge is power, and those who
are the most cultivated as general rule
are the presiding geniuses of the sphere
in which they move. 1t is good thing
for young man to have the respect and
good will of his neighbors. Their con-
tidence in his judgment will serve him
many good turn in life.

Roots CrOps.


We earnestly appeal once more to
those in a condition to do so, to put in
q patch, If ever so small . one, of Roots
Of some kind. The long continued
winter has told fearfully upon the stock
in some sections, and we hear of heavy
losses from the death of animals by the
delay in the appearance of the grass
this season. When it is considered
that an acre or two Of land well put
with roots, would furnish thousands of
bushels Of food for cattle, which, if not
SO nutritious aud fattening IS corn and
hay, would tend largely to exc out a
scanty supply of the latter until new
grass appears, we hope the dictates of
humanity, ifnothing else, will induce
a more general adoption Of. the culture
of Roots.
The mixing of roots with cut hay,
straw or fodder, will add much to the
health and comfort of cattle and other
stock, to say nothing of the great saw
ing of hay, which is always of ready
sale IN the markets of the world. Like
everything else in farming, the culture
involves both labor and care, but this
is returned many fold in the pecuniary
saving, and more particular in the sat
isfactiOn which will be enjoyed by
every owner of stock that he has a sup
ply of excellent food in reserve which
will safely carry them through the
winter.

ORCHARD AND NURSERY.

MULCHING.-TOO much cannot be
said about properly mulching young
trees, especially the first season after
they are set; it saves a great deal OF
work in destroying weeds, and during a
dry season will often prevent trees
dying.
CULTIvATING.-AuO orchard needs to
be kept plowed and thoroughly culti-
waited, in order to produce the best re-
suits, and during the first few years
after planting some crop may be raised
between the rows; potatoes or carrots
are good crops for young orchard.
GRATING, if done after the trees
have started to grow, will require con-
siderable care. as the bark slips 80 easily
that there is danger of injuring the trees
by peeliDg.
PLANTING.-If trees were properly
heeled in last fall, they may be set
several weeks later than they could if
taken from the nursery rows. The
planting should be forwarded as fast as
possible, so that the present seasons
growth may ripen properly.

How Easily Butter is Spoiled.

A farmers wife writes "Of all the
products of the farm, butter is most
liable TO be tainted by nOxiOus
odors floating in the atmosphere. Our
people laid some veal in the cellar
from which blood flowed out and was
neglected until it bad commenced to
smell. The result was that a jar Of

What Constitutes DcSertiOn.

In charging jury some days ago,
i'm n divorce case, Judge Williams, of
Chicago, gave al interesting definition
of legal desertion. The law requires
the husband to provide such home
for his wife and such means of pro-
curing the necessaries OF life as his
means and circumstances will allow.
Hence, il in this regard the husband ex-
hibits an entire disregard of the wife's
happiness, and an intention to compel
her to live apart from him, and if he
made no effort to procure her return
would he guilty of legal desertion. On
the other hand, tie home established
and occupied by the husband is To he
considered the home of the wife, and if
she leaves it wilfully and without
reasonable cause, and against her hus-
bands will, that is desertion on her part,
and if continued during two years will
justify divorce. No light or trivial
causes will justify wife in leaving
her husbands home. Unless the abode
furnished il of a grossly unsuitable
character, she is not justied in leaving;
and if she does SO leave, the husband is
not bound under such desertion TO MAIN
tain the wife who has thus absented
herself.

Diphtheria.

The New York Tribune publishes a
remedy for diphtheria which is said by
many to be a sure cure. A physician
says that of 600 cases in which it has
been used not single patient has been
lost The treatment consists in
thoroughly swabbing the back of the
mouth and throat with a wash made
thus:
"Table salt, two drachms; black
pepper, golden seal, nitrate of potash,
alum, one drachm each. Mix and pull
verize, put it into a teacup, which half
fill with boiling water, stir well, and
then fill up with good vinegar. Use
every half hour, one, two and four
hours, as recovery progresses. The
patient may swallow little each time.
Apply an ounce each of spirits turpen-
tine, sweet oil and aqua ammonia,
mixed, 10 the whole of the throat and
to the breast bone every four hours,
keeping flannel to the part.
