To Prevent the Decay of Shingles.

The following is said to effectually pre-
vent decay in shipgles:--Take the potash
kettle, or large tub, and put into it one
barrel of lye of wood-ashes, five pounds of
white vitriol, five pounds of alum, and as
much salt as will dissolve in the mixture.
Make the liquor quite warm, and put as
many shingles into il as can be convenient
ly wet at once When well soaked take
them out, and put in more, renewing the
liquor as necessary. Then lay the shingles
in the usual manner. After they are laid,
take the liquor that is left, put lime enough
in it to make whitcwash, and, if any color
ing is desired, add ochrc, Spanish brown
lampblack, etc, and apply to the roof with
a brush or an old broom. This wash may
he renewed from time to time. Salt and
lye are excellent preservatives Of wood. 1t
is well known that leach-tubs, troughs, and
other articles used in the manufacture of
potash never rot. They become saturated
with the alkali, turn yellowish inside, and,
remain impervious to the weather.

Culture Of Cranberries.

Where do all the cranberries come from,
is question often asked; and, on investi-
cation, we are fairly astonished to witness
the remarkable amount of business now
transacted in this small fruit. To those
having low lands, useless for any other
purpose, the cranberry, once planted, often
yields the possessor greater profit than
any similar area of other crops on the same
farm.
The consumption Of this fruit is extend
ing rapidly into all parts of the world is
becoming more and more household ne
cessity. New Jersey raises the largest
bulk of cranberries in this country, employ
ing about six thousand acres for the pur-
pose, the value of the crop raised on which
last year was 5000, 0OO The whole cranber-
ry crop of the country is estimated at about
81, 100000. Massachusetts raises not less
than ten thousand barrels year. Within
the past five years Wisconsin has made
rapid progress in the culture of the cram
berry, and the crop in that State last sea-
son is estimated at 100000. The average
price per barrel of this fruit is $40, Cape
Cod cranberries commanding the highest
price. The fruit raised on the Cape is the
best of its kind in the world 1t is expor-
ted largely to England, and.f finds it's way to
4he Queens dinner-tabe.

Cherry Trees.

These should never be highly manured.
Singular as it may seem, better results
have been obtained by growing cherry
trees in grass than by cultivating them as
high pears. Experienced fruit-growers in
Deleware, who once began system of
liberal manuring and treatment of cherry
trees, found, after an experience of few
years, that the bark would burst, gum
would ooze out, and many portions of the
tree show an unhealthy condition. The
growers Immediately discontinued high
feeding and seeded the land down to grass
The trees recovered their health, and have
borne bountifully ever since the system of
grass culture began. 1t is the only fruit
tree of all varieties which we can safely
recommend to be treated in this way A
Delaware friend says his row of cherry
trees, growing in grass along the fence, are
the picture of health and luxuriance; while
in previous years with orchard culture, he
could never make them successful.

G5s'-One of the best and most accurate
farmers informs us that when boy, as
soon as he learned bookkeeping at school,
his father employed him to keep the farm
accounts-the cost Iof labor, amount of
work expended on each field, time of per-
forming operations, plowing, sowing, cul-
tivating, harvesting, amount of crops,
prices at which sales where made, etc. He
soon became much interested in farm op-
erations, and thoroughly acquainted with
all details Of work, in more complete
manner than he ever could have been in
any other way, and was early placed on
the track of farming regularly and syste-
matically. Let other farmers follow this
example with their sons, and we shall have
order and success.

Chapped Hands.

The easiest and simplest remedy for
chapped hands is found in every store room
Take common starch and pulverize with
the blade Of knife until reduced to the
sInoothest powder. Every time the hands
are taken from the suds or dishwater, wipe
them, and, while yet damp, rub portion
of the starch over them thoroughly, cover
ing the whole snrface. The effect is mag
ical.

THE chief consumers 10 this country
are the workingpeople. They spend their
earnings for comforts and culture. They
do not labor to hoard, but to live in gen.
erous, handsome way. To reduce their
wages, is to put check on trade and man
ufactures, and benumb every department
of business. If there is a general reduc-
ton Of prices. so that the same quantity
Of goods can be purchased for q
smaller sum of money, a proportionate
reduction of wages would alter nothing
any way. But lowering Of wages with
out q corresponding increase in the pur-
chasing power Of a dollar would prove
quite disastrous to business Of all kinds as
injurious to the laboring class. 1t is for
the interest of the entire community that
wages shall be high. The laborer is
worthy of his hire. 1t is his only source
of income. What he gets he spends, and
what he spends tends to improve his char.
acter and that Of his family, and goes di-
rectly back into the great circulatory sys-
tenn of society, to increase business and
stimulate productive industry Of every
kind. America is nation Of laborers,
and we should do our utmost to make it
the paradise Of the workingman. - Daily
