Land plants, as trees, for instance.
occupy the same spot for ages, but they
at last decay from sheer decrepitude.
The lateral eytention Of the roots-the
lateral runners or offsets with which
many of them are furnished, some
above ground, as the strawberry, Others
underground, AS the couch grass, this
tie, etc.-shows that plants like animals,
require change of pasture rs well as
change of air. Every one well ac-
quainted with the growth of plants
know that they require n frequent
change of soil, though but few consid-
er that change of air is also beneficial,
1t is wei known that some plants thrive
better in one 10 cality than another
There are plants that never thrive, nor
scarcely live, in the smoky atmosphere
of London, but when removed to dis
lance of wenty or thirty miles from
that city, grow luxuriantly
The Belgian farmer raises excellent
crops of cereals, roots, grasses, etc,
and they are very particular in the Sc
lection of seed, in procuring it from
foreign country, if possible, and in
stepping it in liquid manure before
sowing. In the north of Ireland, where
flax is grown extensively, the farmers
prefer seed brought from Russia or
Holland to that grown 10y themselves,
a. they find the change very beneficial.
The finest dubious and tubtrous rooted
Towering plants are annually imported
into England, the United States, etc,
from Holland and Germany, and the
change is very beneficial for two or
three years. Forest-hees, seeds obtain
ed from the mountains ,f Tyrol. ger
inmate III other parts of Europe with
much greater vigor than those of home
growth.
The commences aud sound condi-
ton of agricultural seeds depend very
much upon the care bestowed by the
scotsman in the selection of his stock,
and also on the character of the grow
ers he employs. Foreign agricultural
seeds are sometimes damaged by kiln
drying, admixture with deadened seeds
of some cheap kind. Rape seed is
sometimes deadened by kiln drying,
and then mixed with turnip or cabbage
seed, to which it bears close resem-
tlance. In import ng seeds from
foreign country great caution is neces-
sary III order to prevent imposition, -

Sugar from the Rpttctuuf.

A correspondent of the Chautauqua
Farmer writes When my neighbour,
Brown, tapped hiJ sapouSh, he had a
quantity of buckets and spiles more
than maple trees. so he tapped about
thirty butternut trees. | thought |
would see what | could make of it, and
went to lis bush, finding every one of
the buckets under the butternut trees
full, while those under the maple trees
were not over two-thirds full took Il
six.quart pail with me, and borrowed it
full Of the butternut sap, and boiled it
down, getting one-half pound of nice
sugar. Mr.. Brown gathered % buckets
of that sap, and boiled it down with his
maple 1t worked as nicely as if it were
all maple. The flavor and appearance
were perfect.

FARM. GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
To Test the Quality OF Wool.

Texas paper says: Take a lock
of wool from the Sleeps back and place
it upon an inch rule. If you can count
from thirty to thirty three of the spirals
or folds in the space of a. inch, it
equals in quality the finest electoral
or Saxony wool grown. OF course when
the number of spirals to the inch di-
minishes, the quality of the wool is
relatively inferior. Many tests have
been tried, but this is considered the
simplest and best. Cotswold wool aud
some other inferior woods do not meas
IRE nine spirals to the inch. With this
test, every farmer has in possession a
knowledge which will enable him to
form a correct Judgment of all this
kind of wool, There are some coarse
woods which experienced wool growers
do not rank as wool, but rs hair, or ac-
count of the hardness and straightness
of the fiber"

If there is always cash market for
wheat, there is at the same time pretty
sure cash market for beans The mm-
bering interests of Minnesota and Wis
consin use large quantities, az well as
the numerous boys in blue, stationed in
different points of the Northwest; be-
sides beans as an Article of export, al
ways bring a good price. The crop is
sure one. The chief expense is in
pulling and harvesting. Planting and
the cultivation does not amount to any
very great inconvenience, time or mo-.
ney. They should be planted in drills
two feet apart. One and half bushels
of seed to the acre will suffice. The
soil should be mellow but it don't mat
ter so much if 1t is not so rich. Never
plant the varieties for field crop that
throws out vines or runners. Farmers

nii;ny Harness,

The following recipe is sent us by A
TAFT, of Howard county Kanaas. He
thinks ii the best be has ever used, and
it is so simple that any one may easily
try the experiment;
Take about half gallon of oil; put
in pan or shallow basin and dip the
harness in, one peace or more at time
then strip the oil oil the strap with
your fingers, letting II run back in the
basin; hang up to dry; repeat the
dipping of the harness two or three
times; until it will take no more oil.
A little lampblack added helps the
looks very much. After the oiling take
"a rag and rub off the harness, and you
will find that the hardest leather and
the stit1est tugs have become very plia.
BILE, and will remain so from one to
three years. You can leave them out
in the rain a dozen times, and you can
not but see they are as pllable as be
fore the water touched them. And not
only that, but the rats and mice will
never touch them. If they are dirty it
is not necessary to clean before oiling.

CHILDREN'S CORNER.
Yay-Flower's Visitors.
BY MARY A. p. HUMPHREY.

An tho valley was brown and bare,
rThe slms and naples had nothing to wear,
when sweet little May-hower came TO town,
In her bonnet pink and her satin gown.
FINDER pine her ten. spread,
With a carpet OF leaves for her dainty tread;
And There as the South wind brings report,
The shy little beauty held her court.
The first that came was zephyr gay,
who suatcheG q kiss ere he went his way;
She blushed and frowned, but he laughed IN glee,
Aud flew TO boast OF his robbery.
Then followed a bluebird troubodour,
His melting strains in her ear to pour,
And her fragrant breath, as he struck his Tyre,
sighed to the song of his hearts desire
" pilgrim I, from the groves afar,
Where the orange CLEANS like golden star,
Where the FLASHING waves in sunshine break;
have left them all for loves sweet sake !"
From his winter castle, her face to see,
an dauntless wing, came ii knightly bee
she pnured him Il cup of her sweetest wine,
And he pledged her. - For ever and ever thine =.
with sudden rush and gusty roar,
The North wind knocked at poor May-hower's door,
tut She gazed in his face with a smile so brave.
That he hurried back 70 his ice-bound cave.
one sad httle snowflake left all alone
The last pale child Of the winter gone
Tiyiup a thousand vague alarms,
Fell, weaiiel out, into May-nowers arms.
over the trembling stranger form
Che folded her mantle close and warm,
But an icy chill through her bosom went,
Ard her slender strength was almost spent.
Down from the coud-and fields OF blue,
swift to her aid a sunbeam flew;
one eager LOOK IN his shining face,
And faintng Alay-hower took heart of grace.
He touched the flake with his fairy wand;
Sweet Flower :" be said . by the kings command
Thus shall thy pure deed stand confessed!
And II nestled, dew-drop, Oh her breast!

Apples.

At recent meeting of the Wisconsin
Horticultural Society at Madison, NJ.
Morrow spoke of the origin Of theapple
as being from the native or wild apple,
which was found growing over wide
extent Of country, and by its cultlva-
tiCn the improved apple was produced.
He said of 4S varieties which he had
traced 20 were produced in North Caro-
lima, and 10 in other Southern States,
and the remainder were scattered over
the other States and that these As
different varieties were known III diff
ferent localities by 1873 different names;
one the Nick a-jack, having 80 names.
He said Mr.. FInlayson had taken astep
in the right direction by planting seeds
of the crab, which was known to be
hardy, and by selecting those which
prove to be good and by a continuance
of this plan he thought there could be
as good and as hardy apples produced
here as anywhere he spoke of the fact
that 90 years ago the South was desti.
tute of home grown winter apples; that
the varieties which were winter fruit
when grown in the North, were summer
and fall varieties when grown IN the
South, on trees from Northern nurser-
les. But by raising seedlings OF their
own, the South now had good winter
varieties.

Importance OF IA Frequent Change o
seed.

It has long been observed by intelIil
gent farmers that seed or plants pro-
cured from distant places, within the
the same collateral parallels of latitude,
appear to grow with more strength and
vigor in their new stations then when
kept and cultivated in their native
places. On this fact all the rules for a
change Of seed, or Of one species Of
plants for another Of the same genus,
are founded. A change Of seed is al
most always practically safe and emil
nently beneficial. A change OF seeds,
sets or plants from one description Of
soil to another, or from valley to noun
tain, rice ucrSa, seems to possess re-
novating influence on the crops. 1t is
on this principle that the practice Of
rotation of crops is based, Plants APP
pear to become tired Of an old station,
except aquatic plants, which are con-
stantly receiving new elements Of nm
triton from fresh supplies Of water.
