way. The result has been wonderful.
The vines which were not half an inch
thick when planted, three years ago.
are now two inches and more in diane
ter, and bear finely. The grapes are
also freer from disease. Other vines
not SO treated are much smaller. and
produce less, the fruit being also more
liable to disease. To try the effect of
this plaster, in planting two American
blaek-walnuts, we put the plaster to the
one and not to the other. Last year we
dug about the roots of the one to which
no plaster was put, and We threw in
seven or eight Jumps of plaster among
the roots the trees are now both OF
the same size, and, though only four
years old, are Is or II feet high.
PACKING FOR MovTNG.-The first prin
cipIe in packing is to have the articles
so firmly fixed that no amount Of iost-
ling or Earring can move them and the
manner IN which the packing material
is crowded in, so that it viii keep the
whole box firm, is of much more conse-
queace than the quality or quantity Of
it. Glass and china-ware should be
wrapped up IN soft paper or newspa-
pers the bottom of each box thickly
covered with hay. Then put in the
dishes, the heaviest at the bottom, and
so placed as to not touch each other,
but not over half an inch apart. Wrap
each plate and saucer in paper, and put
in piles. Stuff in the hay with small
stick, between the dishes make it as
firm and solid as a rock. A bed-quilt,
or some blankets, can be tightly crowd
ed in upon the top, after laying hay al
over the dishes. Packed IN this way,
| the most fragile articles can be carried
thousands of miles without injury, and
over the toughest wagon roads. II
packing looking-glasses and marble
slabs, each piece should be placed in ;
separate box, and fixed in its place by
wedges and side-pieces, driven closet,
and nailed in tightly; laths should b
placed across mirrors and no soft ma
teriaI need be used foB lacking, although
: If desired, pillows and holsters can b.
stuffed in. Marble slabs should be pm
t in boxes just fitted to them, and sheet
) of wet, clean paper placed between eacl
; slab, and each piece be held firmly i
2 place by wedges and side pieces. Val
liable furniture must be sewed up j
e mattings, and entirely protected. Larg
I hogsheads are better than square boxe
t forIpacking fragile articles, as they ca
: be more easily handled, and if packed
e in, as I have described, there can be Il
f fear of their being injured. The Com

A CHEAP WASH FOR BUILDINGS. -Take
a clean water tight cask and put into it
half-bushel of unslaked lime. Cover
it with boiling-hot water six inches
deep, stir briskly, and wait for the lime
to Stake. To the lime and water add
two pounds of a cheap salt called sui
plate Of zinc twhite vitroD and one
pound of common salt. These ingredi-
ents cause the whitewash to harden,
and not crack and fall off. To form a
beautiful cream color, add three pounds
of yellow ochre 4 lamp of ivory black
will give pearl or lead color. Lamp
black may be used to produce darker
color If desired. Applied to paling,
plank fences, and all out-buil dings,
they last much longer and look better

sowed Corn for winter Forage.

a writer in the Ohio Farmer says ::
My experiments with it have resulted
in the following conclusions First,
that one acre of corn sown in drills
three feet apart is worth more than two
acres planted to winter cattle on The
first 1 sowed in June, four years ago,
from the 10th to the goth; stock did
well on it fed in the bundle. I have
raised some every year since, but sowed
late, and cattle would not fatten fast
enough to suit me. Last year sowed
in Nay, about the Doth, three pecks per
acre cultivated twice, and cut and
stocked, then cut with the Empire feed
cutter, and fed from one to two bushels
per head, and am receiving gratifying
results from it now. In sowing early
the corn cared well, in fact a good part
would have done to crib, therefore, hay
ing more heart or substance, and by
cutting it from one to one and a half In
ches long, cattle eat every part clean.
It is not as much work to cut the fodder
as it would be to husk the corn the
stalks are sweeter and softer than wher
handled as they are when it is husl1ed
The corn should, when cured, be piled
as close as possible and heat, to keep i
from drying too much. One acre, fec
the first of this winter, twenty-five
head three weeks. Since then 1 hay,
had but enough to feed once a day, on,
bushel per head, then straw in the yart
at noon, and hay at night. My cattl,
are doing well, in fact are growing.

IRON TELAGEAPH Posrs.-In Man
chester, England, telegraph posts are
manufactured Of spiralss Of iron-rib-
bons, in fact supported on oast-iron
base, and surmounted with capital Of
the same material. A slender rodforms
the axis OF the column, or, as it really
is. a frellis-work tube. Compared with
onsi-iron ,olumns, these structures are
little more than one-third either in
weight or cost, while in appearance the
cain is decidedly great. For conservn-
tories or other horticultural purposes
the trelis column is very suitable. Suci

FooD FOR HENs.-A writer in the
Working Farmer gives the following
advice Hens cannot produce eggs
unless their food contains the elements
of which the egg is composed. The kind
OF feed offered to hens must be deter
mined by the object to be attained in
feeding them. Hens intended for the
market should be fed on that kind OF
1 grain which is known to contain large
percentage of the fatty or oily sub
stances. But hens kept as layers should
/ be fed on that kind of grain which con
tains a larger share of the albuminoids
or reproducing elements In addi-
ton to the essential quantity of albu-
men required in the organism of the
fowls, the laying hens require an extra
amount of ovation-the white of the
hens eggs being about u per cent Of
albumen- and this must be furnished
in her feed. BY referring to the chem
ical analysis Of the different cereals, il
viii be seen that corn contains the
greatest amount Of fatty substances
while wheat contains a larger amount
of albumen than any other cereal. To
fatten hens, therefore, feed corn. 7,

Making Presanta-


1t certainly seems little odd that so
general n custom as that of making
presents should often be as perplexing
as it is pleasant. 1t would seem as if,
money and taste being taken for granted,
the task of selection, especially in our
cities, where every taste and almost
every person can be suited, would be
quite an easy one. The common objects
in the purchase Of presents are very
few; We want in the first place, to ex-
press regard, then to please our friends,
and finally to avoid duplicating anything
they already possess or are likely to re-
ceive. But the trouble is that pur-
chasers too rarely put thr,se objects
definitely to themselves. Tie one fact
before them is that they are to select
and buy certain number of gifts. and
from this vagueness arises half the
trouble. The most evident ground of
choice would seem to be found in the
friends personal taste. There is no ex-
cuse for us if we send bronzes to the
young lady who cannot tell them from
Berlin iron, but who knows genuine
coral Mt a glance nor for wasting books
on people who have no time to read. or
rare old china on those who think moth
ing better than a granite coffee-eup. A
very little reflection Will teach us to
send our various presents where they
will at least find appreciation. But the
real principle in this matter has not vet
been here expressed. Tt is not enough
to give suitable gifts, nor to avoid send
ing our Goals to Newcastle. What we
really want to express Is personal as
ISOLATION. If the article is of value in
itself alone, our friend might as we'll
buy it for himself, and we make a pauper
of him in giving it. But if it has direct
reference to him, and if it expresses us
as well as our regard, it has value that
neither money nor taste can otherwise
give it. We get at this principle in the
purchase of gifts by making them ex-
press the point of harmony between us.
We are all many-sided, and choose our
friends not for their likeness to each
other, nor because they all suit one
phase of our character. We love two
alike, although they are so dissimila1
that they cannot agree, but each OF
them suits us in different ways. We
know why we care for each, and so it is
not difficult to give it expression. There
fore, although you and your friend may
care for both books and pictures, if yor
talk of 20 books to one picture, let you
gift be for his library shelves, not for it
walls. Ii you go to concerts together
send her music or something upon tn,
subject if he receives you in his labora
tory, send your remembrance there or
if he is always eager to show you nov
fossil or curious shell, remember tina
geology and conehology each has it
literature, its rare specimens. In thi
way our gifts are a benefit not only t
those who receive them, but also to ou1
selves.-Scri6ner's Monthly.

CONSTABLE DoRANs oAsE-A GRAND SCRAMBLE FOR
SQUIRE DoUdHERTY's PLAoE-REdIsTER OF KENT
ooUNTY-PoIsoNED BY A WEDDING DRESS.
Special Correspondence Of G.e Commercial
DOVER, Jan. %.
The bill. passed by the Senate, making valid
the official actions OF Constable Doran, came up
in the House, this morning, has had the effect
ofproducing quite stir of feeling en- the subject
in that branch. The point taken by some, is
that the act re-creating the Office is interpreted
as an act extending the term of office to six
years, allowing the first three years to be part
Of the full term, and not to date from 1869 to
1875. The point is a delicate one, as yet, aud
will doubtless, have fuller ventilation than was
accorded by the Senate. But in the end, how
ever, If legal process is abided by nothing can
possibly be gained by controversy. The name Of
this constable appears on the official list as ap-
pointed February, 20, 1865, for term Of three
years. and redppointed February 81, 1869, for a
term OF SIR years, which will extend the term
Of Office to 1875.
In connection with this affair, conflicting
idea originates by cause OF creating q special
office Of constable for New Castle county, which
is not generally understood to bo an additional
special Office. which il is.
This, we believe, furnishes the major part Of
legislative sensation for to-day.
Mr. Smith, the attornery Of the Nd and Del.
ship Canal Co., is here, and extends, judicious
courteeies to members and others. Much anxious
suspence has been felt here, yesterday and
to-day, by number Of applicants for appoint
ment to the vacancy made by the death Of Esq.
Dougherty, at Brandywine Banks, and for the
Office OF Register OF wills for Kent county. The
former appointment was made yesterday and
Daniel Mulherin was the successful party. The
run on the Governor for the Registers office was
heavy aud the interest and excitement mani
Tested was tremendous, and amusing in the ex-
treme.
The Office has been vacant for some days, and
the Governors deferring of the matter has add
ed anxiety to interest, and excitement to ankle
ty. His Excellencys courage, it seems, failed
him-he could not Withstand the wailings of his
disappointed applicants. To obviate the difficult
ty, he took the evening train north, leaving in
structions with the Secretary to make the an
nouncement an hour after his departure. The
Secretary was crowded on all sides, and from
sheer exhaustion, made the announcement con-
siderably within the allotted time. John @.
Pennewill was the man made happy.
