Gerald Rollynge set to work with q
will and an energy quite equal to the
occasion; and in very short time the
regiment wa. got into something like
shape. Companies were detached to the
front to cut down the scrub to stay the
fire; the great body of men and camp
followers were set to work at striking
the tents, loading the baggage animals,
and making preparations for retreat
behind large lake lying some distance
in rear of the camp; while the remainder
were employed in carrying the ammuni-
ton 10 a neighboring well down which
it was thrown. Rollynge had only just
been in time. One quarter of an hour
more and he would have been too late;
and as the last man got behind the buHd
of the tank the fire came dancing amp
leaping in weird wild flames over the
lately occupied camping ground, con-
suming and destroying every thing be-
fore it,
But how did YOU manage TO discover
the fire so soon, Mr.. Rollynse? asked
Col. Estcourt, two days afterwards,
when the regiment was once more com
fortahly under canvas.
'lalways walk up and down in front
of my tent when on treasure guard, sir,
or rest while on one of the tumbrils;
so saw il rs soon as it could be seen,
and galloped in at once to warn your
guard
Saved the camp, sir; saved the camp,
by Jove! by your vigilance-and you
shall be rewarded, Mr.. Rollyngc.'
And Gerald Rollynge was rewarded.
He appeared ia Orders that evening as
adjutant: and, two weeks afterwards,
ran away with the willing Hetty Ver-
non, and was married by the padre at
the next station. He never quite told
,rhy he kept guard SO we'll that Christ
mas night; but-no matter-we will
put it down to zeal for duty.

THE HOUSE.
The bugles rang out clear and shrill
at 3 80 A. NJ, on the 18th December.
and, with manys growl and shiver, the
gallant members of the 'kattiwar II

ment. on its march down countrv-pre-
pared 10 turn out for their allotted daily
march.
Paddy Creagh, the acting adjutant,
started up from his chdrbOy st the first
note, and quite regardless OF the frosty
earth, snakes, centipedes, or other un-
pleasant concomitants Of the cold sea-
son in India, stepped on 10 the bare
ground, opened the canvass door of
his tent, and beloved like bull,
Boy Sooka. Bo-hoy, cha lao 7 which
being interpreted meant that Paddy
wanted his servant, Sooka, with the
morning draught of tea.
'Acha, sahib, acha-tata, replied the
weak and teeth-chattering voice of
Sooka, from a dingy cotton erection
some little distance off, whence pres
emily issued his shivering black form,
clothed in white garments, and bearing
huge pewter tankard, smoking with
boiling tea. BY the time the welcome
beverage had arrived, that mighty war
rior, Paddy-fond parents in the En-
erald Isle had christened him Randall
his brother officers, Paddy-Creagh
had managed to light the half-frozen
wick of his oil-lamp, endue his brawny
limbs with the garments that denote
the man, and was sitting on the edge
of his charboy in an ecstacy of battle
with tight Wellington boots.
'Sooka, ye bachute, where's me otheI
boots' he passlonately questioned ol
the shivering slave, who stood before
him with the tea.
'Sahib max them plenty wet when
out Shikar-now all froze hard

Paddy, as, with great grunt, he final
ly conquered the reluctant Yelling
tons.
Swallowing down his tea by hasty
gulps, rapidly laying on flakes of war
paint, swearing at his servant, giving
orders to interrupting native-officeri
and buglers, and halloaing to his Eng
lish comrades Of the adjacent tents

How to keep Celery.

For the benefit of those of your rea-
ders who have never succ eeded in keep
ing celery in eatable condition Through
out winter, will give rule by which
| have preserved celery, free from rot or
rust, as late as the last of March. New
er work at celery in any way except the
plants be perfectly dry. Earth up never
before 10 o'clock, a. m, or after p.
m, and then only on dry and sun
shiny day. In the fall, as soon as the
ground be gins to freeze enough to make
the slightest crust in the morning, Sc
lect dry and sunshiny day, and as near
noon as possible, pack your celery in
boxes (I use soap or starch boxes, plac-
ing first layer of earth about one inch
deep, then layer of celery, placing the
plants just far enough apart not to lie
against each other, and thus, alternating
earth and celery until the boxes are fill
ed, having the first and last layers of
earth. Place the boxes where the celery
will not freeze (but not in heated ROOM
and your celery will keep splendidly,
and always convenient for se.-Mo0ro's

FARM PoULTRY-Farmers frequently
neglect their fowls, not so much from
conviction that they don't pay as because
there are so many other things to attend
to. Yet oftentimes the labor spent on
more pretentious affairs is not as profita-
bic as that devoted to poultry. Of
course much depends on location and
the makret A flock of fowls such as
is usual on farms will in most situations,
if rightly managed, yield more in value
annually (either gross or metz than a
good COW. But no farmer expects that
a COW can be tended year and her fod-
der raised, cut and housed without con-
siderable work. Fowls if allowed their
freedom may be managed with much less
labor than when they are yarded, but in
any case a great deal of time must be
spent in raising chickens in sufficient
numbers to keep the ranks of the laying
stock always mainly filled with birds not
old, which is indispensable to success.
1t should be remembered that eggs are
more profitable than table fowls, except
in case of early chickens.

WHEN TO SELL GRAIN-The better
way for farmers is to sell when you
are ready. Not once, nor twice, nor
one year and another, but make it
rule. Trust not to your impulses;
avoid being influenced by your feelings.
1t is often grasping; is not to be en-
couraged. Many years of observation
have convinced us that this is the right
course; save your interest and waste
caused by mice and vermin save your
grain from losses by fire accidents. Be
contented as you will be if the response
bility is off your mind. You will lose
but you will gain also; your neighbor
will triumph over you one year or two,
but your time is coming and on the
whole you are the gamer. This is expe-
rience; this is the truth in selling grain;
it Is the clean satisfactory thing.

HEALTHFUL EFFECTS OF TOMATOES
The tomato is one of the most healthful
as well as the most universally liked of
all the vegetable. Its healthy qualities
do not depend on the mode of prepare
ton for the table; it may be eaten
three times a day, cold or hot, cooked
or raw alone, or with salt, pepper, vim
egar, or altogether, to a like advantage,
and in the utmost quantity can be taken
with an appetite. Its h6althful quality
arises from its slight acidity; in this re-
spect as valuable, perhaps, as berries,
currants, and similar fruits. The tOma-
to season ends with frost if hung up in
q well ventilated cellar, with the toma-
toes hanging to the vines, the Glove APP
pie will continue to ripen until Christ
mas. The cellar should not be too dry,
nor too warm.
The knowledge of this may be i'm
proved to great advantage for the bene-
fit of inyalids, and all who are fond of
the tomato.

the spring. 1t seemed useless. yet we
concluded to SOW On more seed and did
so without narrowing. We cut very
early rank growth of white weed, but
the clover and herdsgrass caught and
has grown so as to almost cover the
ground and broke down the white weed.
There viii be no need to pillow the land
and re-seed.
Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1872-10-24

a correspondent writes to the Phila-
delphia Ledger, that experience has CON
WINGED him that a coat OF gum copal
varnish applied TO the soles Of boots and
shoes, and repeated rs il dries, until the
pores are filed and the surface shines
like polished mahogany. will make the
sOles water proof, and also cause them Iu
last three times as long rs ordinary
soles.
The Franklin Patriot is credited with
the statement that farmer saved large
amount of clover seed by putting a wire
bottom in the trough in which he fed his
stock-the wires being two or three
inches above the close bottom of the
trough. The stock, in pulling the clover
hay from the rack scattered the seed
almost pure through the wire into the
receptacle below.
One cf the common faults in tying up
cattle, and cows especially, is, that they
are placed too near each other. When
some are lying down, others step about
and tread upon them. We think the
ndders Of cows are more frequently in
iured in this way, than in all other ways
combined. Ii is not unusual to find
cows placed three feet apart three and
a half III most crses rarely ever four
feet.
A correspondent of the Maine Far
mer SAYS, one piece of ground, where
tue grasshoppers took all the clover last
tall, came up entirely to white weeds IN

How TO GATHER FRUIT.-Fruit should
never be gathered during damp weather,
nor when a heavy dew is upon it in the
early morning. 1t is poor policy to
shake fruit from the tree; it will almost
surely decay. from the effect of bruising.
Even the slightest abrasion of the skin
is the sure forerunner of a dark spot,
which will eventually change into some
kind of rot If possible, each specimen
shoald be taken singly from the tree
and handled with the utmost care.
Grapes should always be severed from
the vine with strong scissors, and never
twisted or broken off. If peaches are
gathered before attaining full size, they
will have a fine flavor, but it is not
necessary to delay picking them until
they are very mellow. Scarcely any va
riety Of the larger fruits color or ripen
as well if left to perfect themselves on
the tree, and this is especially true of
pears.
Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1872-10-24

MuLoHING. -Mulching is too often
properly appreciated or neglected from
some cause. Strawberries should not
only be mulched just before fruiting
but should be well mulched in the fall,
Just before the ground freezes, and you
will not complain of your vines being
all frozen out or dead in the spring.
All newly planted trees, shrubs and ev-
ergreens should be well mulched as soon
as possible. Three or four inches of
short straw, hay, light manure, or litter
of any kind will answer to keep the hot
sun from drying out the moisture of the
soil, which favors the formation of new
roots, instead of being parched up, as
is too often the case; it also prevents
the growth of weeds. Mulching is often
beneficial in saving a crop of peaches,
by retarding their early opening until the
late frosts are over.

ABOUT BIRDS. Some curious statis-
ties about small birds have recently
been laid before the English House of
Commons. The thrush is said to work
from 2:3O in the morning until $50 in
the evening, or nineteen hours. During
this time he feeds his young 206 times.
Blackbirds work seventeen hours. The
male feeds the young "A times, and the
female 50 times per day. The industri-
Gus titmouse manages to spread AIT
meals a day before its voracious off
spring According to one naturalist
their food consists largely of catarpillars.
These statements, and hundred more
quite as curious, were made in an elo-
quent plea for a law to protect small
birds from being shared and shot. I'm
fortunately, although the speech seems
to prove that they are really the allies
instead of the enemies of the farmer,
the old prejudices against them were
strong enough to defeat the bill.
