EsavnD Stables.

Damp stables are especially to be
avoided, whether from newness, or
from being partly underground, or
from being badly drained. Whatever
the cause, it Injuries the health of the
horse, and he never can be kept free
from colds, coughs, etc, while in one
SO constructed as to produce damp. 1t
should therefore be prevented by re
moving the cause, which may be eff
fccted IN nearly every case, even IN
aergroand, by proper drainage. Ii a
stable must be under the surface, it is
better to curtail it's proportions by
building an inside wall, leaving an air
drain all around between it and the
old wall. than to allow it to remain
damp, and this is generally the cheap
est way of effecting the change, for IN
order to get at the outside there is
often a vast deal of valuable surface to
be interfered with.

The ExtinguiShlAent of Fires.

1t has long been the theory of Mr.
Joseph Bird, of Mount Auburn, Mass,
that great deal of water is wasted IN
the extlnguishment of fires. To prove
this, he gave series Of experiments
ON the 9th instant, before President
Eliot and several professors of Harvard
University. Nine empty rosin barrels,
with heads and bottoms knocked out
and filled with shavings, were set on
fire, when the flames were extinguished
by very small quantity of water
thrown Oh the exposed sides of the
barrels. A large pile of rosin barrels,
ten or twelve feet high, was then fred,
and the fire extingulshed by throwing
on them about bucketful of water bv
double-acting hand pump, through a
pipe with an eighth of an inch nozzle
A frame building, eight feet by ten
and eight feet high, filled with combus-
tlbles, was then fired, and the fire,
which burned very iercely, extinguish
ell IN one minute by one tubful of wa.
ter. The experiments were thought to
be very successful.

Now is the time to look ont sharply
for caterpillers. They are busy weav-
ing their nests and stripping the leaves
OF apple trees. 1t is the best way to
take them while they are small, for if
neglected till the leaves are full green,
there is necessarily greater injury to
the tree, to say nothing of the destruc-
ton they cause in the process of
growth. Fix a brush on the end of a
long pole and go at them. If the trees
are kept perfectly clear of them this
year, you will have less next, unless
some careless and slovenly neighbor
lets all his go TO seed. Caterpillars are
a sign OF careless farming.

How the Indians Climb Trees.

In South America even the weaker
women may be, not uncOmmonly, seen
plucking the fruit at their tops II the
bark is so smooth and slippery that
they can not 60 up by climbing, they
use another means. They make a hoop
OF wild vines, and, putting their feet
inside, they use it as a support in
climbing. The negro of the west co st
OF Africa makes a larger hoop round
the tree, and gets inside 1t, and Jerks it
up the trunk with his hands, little at
time, drawing his legs up after it, The
Iahitian boys tie their feet together,
four or five inches apart, with a piece
of palm bark, and with the aid of this
fetter, go no the cocoa-palms to gather
the nuts. The native women in Aus
traia climb the gum trees after opos-
sums; where the bark is rough they
chop holes with Ratchet, then one
throws about the tree a rope twice as
long as VIII go around it, puts her
Ratchet on her cropped head, and
placing her feet against the tree, and
grasping the rope with her hands, she
bitches it up by jerks, and pulls her
self up the enormous trunk almost as
fast as a man will climb a ladder

HE SKFPTICAL CONVINCED. Every
advance III Medicine, every new rem
edy has encountered an opposition,
which is the test Of truth. Galen and
Jenner only were believed when they
had proved their discoveries against
opposition. But men are observing,
aud benefits always make believers.
No incredibly can stand the silent ar
gument of good results. When DR..
Walker proclaimed that he had pro-
duced from the medical herbs OF Cali
fornia an Elixir that would regenerate
the sinking system and cure diseases
not organic, the lncredulous shook
their heads. Yet his VINEGAR BITTERs
is now the Standard Restorative of the
Western World The truth could not
be resisted. Under the operation
of the new remedy, Dyspeptics
regained their health, appetite
and strength, the Bilious and Consti-
pated were relieved of every distress
ing symptom; the Consumptlve and
Rheumatic rapidly recovered; inter-
mittent and Remittent Fevers were
broken up; the talnt of Scrofula was
eradioated. Who could gainsay facts
like these? Not even the Faculty.
Skepticism was routed All doubts as
to the claims of the Bitters to the first
place in the first rank of modern medi-
cines were silenced, and this wonderful
preparation is to-day the most popular
Tonic, Alternative and Blood Depurent
ever advertised in America In COM
mon with other journalists, we are free
to add our testimony to this remedy.

Preventing tne Decay of Shingles.

The following, from the Scientific
American, is said to effectualiy prevent
the decay of shingles: Take "a potash
kettle or large tub, and put into one
barrel of wood ashes I've, 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 In it
as can be conveniently wetted at once
Stir them mp with fork, and when
well soaked take them out and put
In more, renewing the liquor as neces
sary. Then lay the shingles in
the usual manner. After they are laid.

Sailing Asparagus.

beds at any time during the season in
heavy or light doses, and without in
jury. When the salt is scattered on
the surface IN June July, it Will save
considerable work all the rest of the
summer in hoeing and wedding, and at
the same time plants, especially in
yOnnG beds, VIII thrive under such
treatment. The salt Will not only fur
nish food, but will keep the surface
moist. Five or SIX years ago friend
recommended the application of salt to
paths to keep down weeds. Expert
ence proved that the salt effected this
result the first season very we'll indeed,
but the following year the weeds APP
peared to flourish. But what was
strange about it was that for three
years after one could see at a glance
any morning just how far the salt was
spread on each walk from the damp
ness OF the surface, when the other
parts Of the walk were apparently dry.
The same experiment was tried again
still later, on another part of the gar
den, and with the very same result. 1t
is, therefore, reasonable conclusion

rlc power, and this moisture does have
a marked influence on vegetable
growth, and especially on the growth
of asparagus. 1t may be spread on
very thick without injuring the plants.
we have frequently put salt two inches
IN thickness on old asparagus beds
without checking the growth, but there
seemed no advantages IN these heavy
doses. A light sprinkling, say bushel
to two rods square, will be quite enough
for all practical purposes. This may
be applied, say every other year, to
advantage. Some gardeners use'a less
quantity, and apply it every SPRING

THERE is an old story that Count
of Flanders once gave an entertainment
to some Flemish merchants, but that
the seats on which they sat was with
out cushions. The visitors folded up
their costly velvet cloaks, and sat upon
them. At their departure, they left
their cloaks behind, and when remind
ed of it they replied that when asked
to a feast they were not in the habit of
carving away the chair cushions.

Effect orthe stock on the Eud ion Graft,

Prof S. 3. Buckley, of Texas, writes
the following communication to the
Rural Alabamian, RELAXING to the infu-
ence of the stock on the graft, which
viii be of much interest to those of our
readers who have been engaged in
investigating this subject:
Although it has been known that
the stock has more or less influence
upon the graft, modifying to a greater
or less degree the quality of the fruit,
yet in practice it Is not recognized or
thought by most fruit growers. First,
a large class of nurserymen bud and
graft upon seedlings, paying no regard
whatever to their origin or quality
the only consideration being to have
the bud or germ true to name. This is
one cause Of the variations of different
kinds of fruit, even in the same orchard
and IN trees growing near each other In
the same variety of soil and subject

CHILDREN'S CORNER.
Don't Crowd.
BY CHARLES DICKENS.

Don't crowd the world is broad enough,
For YOU as well as me.
The doors of art are open wide
The realms of thought are free.
In all earth's places you are hight
To choose the best you can
Providing that you do not try
To crowd some other man.
Don't crowd good feelings from your heart
By fostering all that's bad,
But give to virtue every room
The best that may be had.
Be each DAYS record such a one
That you may well be proud
Give eacn his right, give each his room,
Aud never try to crowd.
