Tree Planting.
his mind.

THE various Horticultural Societies in
the West have ever been alive to the i'm
portance Of tree planting. 1t has through
this means, says the Western RuYuI, been
kept prominently before the readers of the
various agricultural and horticultural
Journals of the country, until it has be
| come to be regarded as one of the i'm
portant means of bringing our prairies
and vast treeless plains to more perfect
| development Mr.. n. Dinner, one of the
| most enterprising horticulturists of South
ern Ohio delivered an address upon "Hor-
ticultural Societies and Tree Planting,'
before the Montgomery County Horticul
tural Society, OF which he is President,
from which we extract the following:
The plan OF holding meetings of horti
cultural societies at members houses is
becoming general; in fact, this is the only
way that societies can be well sustained,
| and it is the only way they can do much
good. Most Of us devote toomuch of our
time to money making. We seem to
think that making money is all we live
for These social gatherings of husbands,
wives, sons and daughters, once each
month, know have a good effect on
those that attend. We meet together and
fer a time forget business, devote the dav
to recreation, discuss topics on horticul-
| tural and kindred subjects, and enjoy our
selves in conversation and otherwise. We
meet to spend one day in each month to
inform ourselves and have a good time
generally. You may say, What is the use
OF telling you what you know as we'll as
L do? That is no doubt true, but there
are others that are not of this fold these
L want to bring in Also SO that they may
| enjoy themselves with us.
The subject of tree planting, shade and
forest trees, is one that is at this time at
tracing a great deal of attention. 1t is evil
dent to the observing that the time is com
ing, and, too, much sooner than many
suppose when the planting of forests will
be practiced as we now plant orchards;
however, my object in bringing up this
subject is principally for the purpose of
encouraging the planting Of shade trees in
cities and villages, and also along the high
WAYS
one OF the things that attracts the atten-
ton OF Americans travelling in Europe is
that the roads through the country are
planted on both sides with fruit or forest
trees, may say, without exaggeration, for
hundreds Of miles. Those that have seen
this Will require no strong argument to
convince them of the great beauty it adds
to the country where it is common
Trees ought not to be planted outside,
but within and nearer the fences, unless the
roads are very wide.
The planting of trees along the side
walks of the cities is pretty general, but
how painful to me it is to see them
planted, as they are-too close by half 1t
seems as if many an individual owning a
lot OF twenty five or thirty feet front, thinks
1t Is his duty to plant as many trees in
hont OF his lot as his neighbor whose lot is

LOVERS of claret and Burgundy will be
pleased to learn, on the authority of an
eminent French chemist, that red wines
nowadays are commonly colored with
rosaniline, which contains arsenic enough
to cause symptoms of poisoning if it be
taken in frequent doses.

How TO MAKE TEA.-The most import
ant thing in brewing cup of tea consists
i'll having the water in the tea-kettle
freshly boiled, and one should never use
that which has been steaming and stewing
for several hours. So turn out all the
water in your kettle, and fill it up with
fresh, pure water; then boil it up briskly,
and, as soon as the steam appears, turn
small quantity of water into the teapot,
and shake it about in it. Then pour it
out, and add one teaspoonful of tea for
each person who will drink from the pot,
and one teaspoonful for the pot this is
the old rule Of our grandmothers). Over
this pour one large coffeecup of boiling
water, and for breakfast tea let it boil ex-
actly ten minutes-boil hard. But for
green and Japan teas, proceed as above
and then place the teapot on the back
part of the stove, or upon the elevated
reservoir for water, and let it steep from
five to eight minutes.

Moving a WaShstand.

Says a writer in the Utica Herald ::
"You never know the latent talent in a
washstand until you try to move one.
Just to look at it one would think it
could be moted with all the crockery on
it; but when you pick it up the wash
bowl and pitcher waltz around so that
you are obliged to set them down topre-
vent fracture. Then the drawer comes
out and spills everything you have lost
for the last three months over the floor.
and when you get on that side to keep
the drawer in, the doors fly open and
bark your shins. When you get to the
door, all the hit pr~omiscuously,
and you get the skin knocked off from
three knuckles of one hand; but that
makes you just mad enough to finish
the the job in twenty-three seconds
and the washstand. The safest way is
to hire a man on afai1 salary, and charge
him for breakage."

To KEEP FLIES FROM PICTURE FRAMES.
Boil four onions in a pint of water,
then with a brush wash your frames

not injure the frames, and the odor soon
disappears. It is better than unsightly
gauze coverings to your pictures.

The Mormon Bible.

1 find in my %scrap-book, set down
there thirty years ago, an item which
may be of interest at the present time,
when the Mormon problem is evidently
approaching a civilized solution. The
truth of the statement herein given
was vouched for in my presence by a
man who was above deceit. The origin
OF the Book of Mormon" so called,
has been a puzzle to many, much of it
being evidently the production of a cul-
tivated mind, and yet ~springing to light
from the hands of illiterate men.
It was written, in 1S12-13, as a liter
ary recreation, by Rev. Solomon Spauld-
ing, a graduate of Dartmouth College,
at that time residing in New Salem,
Ohio 4; and, as he wrote it, it professed
to be a historical romano of a lost race,
the remains of whose numerous mounds
and inscriptions are found on the banks
Of the Ohio. After the work had been
completed the author had thoughts of
having it printed, and for that purpose
he gave the manuscript into the hands of
a printer, in whose Office it remained for
several years, but the design of print
ing was not carried into execution.
Asforeman IN the printing-ofice where
Mr.. Spaulding's romance vas lodged
was employed Sidney Rigdon, who af-
terward figured conspicuously in Nor
mon history and there is no doubt that
he copied the manuscript, and subse-
quently gave it to Smith. Upon the
appearance of the Book of Mormons,
in 1880, there were those living to whom
Mr.. Spaulding had read parts of his ro-
nance, and they recognized his verbiage
in the book. Upon search the original
manuscript was found among the papers
of the deceased clergyman, and on com
parison the Mormon Bible proved to
have been not materially altered from
this parent text. Of course the discov-
cry soon made considerable talk. A
great many people went to see the man
uscript, and at the expiration of a few
weeks it mysteriously disappeared. As
there was a Mormon preacher in New
Salem at the time, with proselytes at his
heels, the mystery of the disappearance
was not very deep.-Cor. New York
LedOer.

Cross-Breeding Wheat.

The Commissioner of Agriculture hay
ing caused Prot. Vasey, the botanist. to
make a dissection of two-and-twenty
flowers of wheat in different stages as
they approached maturity, came to the
conclusion that wheat is not liable to
ross breeding, unless it is done artif-
cIaIly. The close and we1l-protected
nature of the foration seems to forbid
any fertilizationfrom the outside. Hence
new varieties are seldom produced by
accidental crossing. This is certainly
worth being made more generally known.
and indicates that measures of a scien-
hfc character should be taken to cross
breed and raise new varieties artiicially.
Not that we believe new varieties will
be OF any use until we prepare the soil
to feed them up to the requirements of
their development. New varieties half
starved will not be any better than the
old varieties.
