Manure for Orchards.

Wood ashes are doubtless excellent for
orchards, but instead of being put round
the trees they should be spread over the
whole land. But where are the ashes to
come from in this region? We have little
or no wood, and of course little or no
ashes. In our limited experience we have
learned one thing in regard to orchards as
well as fruit trees of every kind that we
have cultivated, and we believe the princi-
pie can be applied pretty much to every
thing that grows upon the earth, which
is, that the application of manure bene-
fits then, oil.
Ground occupied with fruit trees should
be MANFRED as are other portions of the
land used for the raising of wheat and
corn. 1t is the neglect to doEso, in con-
nection with the general negligence with
which orchards are treated in many Sec
tons, that makes them improbable and
worn out prematurely. And as to the
kind of manure with which orchards
ought to be treated, while any kind, almost
without exception, will prove of advan-
tage, there is none in the world to be com>
pared to stable or barn-yard manure. A
liberal application of this only every third
year, with careful pruning and scraping
of the trees and ferreting out the borers,
will make a prodigious change in an or
chard. Autumn, and even in December,
if the ground is not frozen, is perhaps, the
best time to apply it.-Gcrm0ntoaCrt Iele-

Dried Dung in Fumigating Bees.

Rev. l.. L. Langstroth writes to the Bee
Journal:
Nearly two thousand years ago Column
ella recommended the dried dung of cattle
as the best thing for fumigating bees.
Learning soon after importing the Egyp-
tian bees that the Egyptians made use of
the smoke from this substance in all their
operations upon their irascible bees, we be-
gan to use it largely in our apiary. The
smoke from burning cow dung, while very
penetrating, is not offensive. It can be
blown so as to diffuse itself very quickly
through the hive, and yet it does not seem
to irritate the bees, and our own experience
confirms the very strong concentrations
of Columella. Wherever rotten wood is
not easily procured, it will be found of
very great value. When thoroughly dried
it will burn slowly but steadily. and by
slightly dampening the outside after light
ing it, piece not longer than the hand
may often be made to last for several hours.
1t does not always ignite as readily as one
could wish. DIR. E. Parmely has Obviated
this difficulty by dipping one corner in
coal oil. The odor is so little offensive that
it may be use instead of pastils in the sick
room, a little sugar being sprinkled upon
it while burning. Those who know how
universally the dung of buffaloes, called
buffalo chips, is used for cooking purposes
on our great plains, will feel no prejudices
against this seemingly uncleanly SUBJ
stance. We shall call it buffalo chips"

CARE OF CIsTERNs.-Water may be pre-
served pure and wholesome in rainwater
cisterns by letting the supply pipe connect
at the bottom. The fresh water being
heavier than that already in the cistern,
will force the stale water to the top so that
it can be used before it becomes offensive.
1t is well known, however, that cistern
water becomes impure from the organic
matter it contains, and if this can be got
rid of by destroying its vitality and precip
itating it to the bottom, it will leave the
water pure. 1t is claimed that there is
nothing better to effect this than perman
ganate of potassa, used in the proportion of
about an ounce to fifty gallons of water.
This causes the inorganic matter to sink to
the bottom an innoxious sediment. But
the permanganate must be continued as
long as the water has purplish appear
ance, indicating that the offensive matter
has not all been precipitated. Though this
is not a poisonous drug, and is, we believe,
in no way hurtful, still no more should be
used than necessary. Every druggist has
it for sale. Care must be taken to have the
cistern thoroughly cleaned at least twice a
year, as we'll as the troughs upon the
buildings supplying the water.

"reminiscences of Judge Orr.

A writer in the Christian Meighbor relates
the following stories obtained from Judge Orr,
concerning his experience with Rev. James
Dannelly, who was also we'll known to many
of our readers:
will attempt to give you one of his stories
about that extraordinary man, Rev: James
Dannely. When the old preacher went to
Anderson @. H., he generally found his head
quarters at Mr.. Orr's hospitable house. For
this there were, perhaps, two reasons they were
family connections, and no doubt the old gen
tleman-always an invalid-found the place
both comfortable and agreeable. 1t was per-
haps, Mr.. Dannelly's first visit after Mr.. Orts
marriage; and as the guest was one OF the
most famous men in the up-country, and wlthal
from fnadame's own district, she took all pains
to entertain him with every comfort. The old
preacher-a very common weakness among the
clerey--was fond of good coffee, and madame
plumed herself upon her skill in preparing the
beverage. She roasted the berries herself, and
gave them the precise tint necessary; sent for
the mill, ground the coffee, and finally, with
exquisite skill, finished the decoction. Being
brought upon the table, it gratifiet two of the
senses instantly-it was beautiful in color, and
the aroma was delicious. The old gray headed
guest received q smoking cup from the fair
hands of the beautiful hostess and slipped it,
A slight cloud passed over his face, and the
QUICK eye of madame perceived it. "Mr. Dan.
nelly, does your coffee suit you?' The old
man uttered peculiar grunt-a bad sign of
coming trouble-and screwing his voice up to
its most querulous and pungent pitch, said, "N
aint fit to t,,inkw Mine host knew his man
held him entirely above the laws that govern
ordinary mortals and was prepared to enjoy
what he said at any bodys expense; but you
may be sure the old mans opirion of the COT
fee was shell among my lady's nerves. Ihe
trouble, however, was soon explained: Ihey
had two mills exactly alike, one for coffee and
the other for pepper; the girl brought n ner mis-
tress the pepper mill, and the cohee was
ruined. -.
AS the Judge turned the laugh upon Mrs.
Orr he balanced accounts by telling story
upon himself. He was candidate Tor Con-
aress: had strong opposition, and canvassed
fhe district thoroughly; was going from morn
ing till night, and often from night, till morn
inc: knew almost every man and woman IN
the Congressional District, and great many
of the children. The excitement and eating
and drinking incident to the campaign fattened
up Mr.. Orr very much, and his face was quite
a lively red. About this time old father Dan
nelly paid him visit and stayed three days, 9I
He was quite pleasant and agreeable. IL inc hi
time arrived for him to 60, and with consider 1e
able difficulty. on account of his wooden leg,
i'e he got I'D into his suky. At that last moment,
hefore nartuq. he threw UP his long arm, bring
inc % his index finger within about an inch of
his his hosts nose; and finally said, Lawrence,
vou w had better join the temperance societyP'
and rode off without another word.

HEALTHY SLEEp.-Some one who evidently
knows whereof he talks says: Sleep obtained
two hours before midnight, when the negative
forces are in operation, is the rest which most
recuperates the system, giving brightness to the
eve ev and q GLOW to the cheek. The difference
in in the he's appearance of person, who habitual!ly
ratires @ at ten o'clock, and that of one who sits
until twelve, is quite remarkable. The tone of
the system, the cearness and sparkle Of the
is, in person of health, kept at "a CONCERT E
pitch" by taking regular rest two hours before
twelve o'clock and thereby obtaining the beau,
ty sleep of the night. There is beavlness OF
the eye, sallowness Of the skin and an 40.
sence of that glow in the face which renders 1t
fresh in expression and round in appearance,
that readily distinguishes the persons who keep
very late hours.

To CURE TooTHAcHE-A we'll known den
tist, who has tried the remedy on some nervous
people who have old roots of broken teeth,
and an are too timid to permit an attempt to re-
move them, makes the following public, for
the benefit Of all whom it may concern: To
persons having hollow tooth, allowing the ali
to reach the nerve, l would advise that they
get some nitre and mix with alum saturate
little cotton with it and apply it to the cavity;
If the pain extends upwards, upward toward
the eye, or takes the form of neuralgia procure
some horse-radsh leaves, take out the stems,
wet them and apply on the face over the pain,
and think you will get relief. Ii you have
no radish, try beet leaves; they may answer
the same purpose.
