The great atmospheric wave which, the meteor
OlOgists tell us, sweeps over the whole United
States from the Pacific coast at this season. is
oaded with unwholesome vap0rs that chill the
body and disturb all Its functions. PerspiraFion is
checked, the stomach is deranged, the bowels and
the liver sympathize with that organ, the nerves
and muscles are affected, pulmonary complaints
are engendered, and the spirits are more or less
depressed. These are among the common effects
produced by the moist, uugenial winds prevalent
in the winter months. But If the system is toned
and fortified in advance with Hostetter's Stomach
Btiters, no danger need be arprehended from any
condition OF the atmosphere. The " III wind that
blows Nobody any good" will not be likely to
blow any harm to him who strengthens and regu

Apple Trees on the Red Clay Land.


In an interesting description of Mr..
Peters farm, in Gordon county, Georgia,
Mr.. Howard says:
Mr.. Peters apple trees planted on
red clay have gradually died out until
almost the whole orchards. is DESTROYED.
He strongly dissuades those desiring to
establish permanent apple orchards
planting the trees on red land. The OBJ
servation runs over the period in north
west Georgia from 1910 to the present
time. Trees planted on grey or bottom
land have survived and done wetl.
Trees on red land, on the contrary.
have persisted. They grow luxuriantIy
for ten OF twelve years and then decay.
The excess of iron in these red lands is
probably the cause of the short life of
the apple tree.
Red clay lands, similar to those in
Gordon county, Georgia, are SO extern
sive on the Atlantic slope in the south
ern States, and in the valleys west of
the Alleghanies, that we may well study
their relation to fruit-trees, as the ap-
pie and pear mot to name others) and
to wheat, clover, timothy and other i'm
portant crops. l set out an orchard ia
Clarke county, Georgia, which included
four hundred Shockley apple trees,
among others; and since my connection
with the Southern C~1LtiUator in 1s47.
my attention has been more or less
turned to the natural defects and re-
sources of the red clay hills, plains and
valleys of the south. Numerous anaIy-
ses of these clays justify the remark
that they contain, generally, twenty
times iron than lime while near
ly one-half Of the ash found On burning
the wood and bark Of the apple tree is a
lime salt. In the absence of lime in
proper quantity, iron in clay is apt to
run into an acid salt like copperas and
do harm, especially on ground whose
subsoil is compact, and not sufficiently
drained when cultivated. This iron
salt (copperas or sulphate iron,} is de-
composed by an application of lime.
and gypsum is formed while the iron
becomes harmless, being quite insoIu-
BILE, but before, very soluble. One of
the founders Of the first agricultural So
cietg in New York in the last century.

on the other side, the mountainous
coast stretches away to Mentone.

How to Tran Rats.

The best and cheapest way to catch
rats that / have ever known, is to select
the place most frequented by them, and
take a common post anger and bore a
hole in the ground from six to eight
inches in diameter and three feet deep.
Remove all the earth that has been
~exeavated, and all straw or sticks
entirely away, leaving the other sur
roundIngs as neal as possible the way
you found them. If the weather Is dry
and it is hard for the rats to get water.
pour a little around the trap; if there is
plenty of water, put a very little wheat
flour around it, You now have n of
the best rat traps ever known. In their
w~anderiags at night for food and water,
many of the rats moi seeing the tran
vii fall into it, and raising a cry,
others coming to their relief will fall in
also: I have 9 9 as high as sixteen
caught in n night, among which were
all sizes, from the common mouse 10 the
fun grown rat. When they are once in,
it is impossible for them TO escape, as
they can neither dig, climb nor leap
out.
To get them out of the trap, take a
small stick and place on the end of it a
large wire with a sharp point. made in
The shape of an arrow head. This,
when stuck IL them, will hold them
until you can carry them away some
distance from the trap to Kill them.
Try the above plan, and IL you do not
succeed in catching rats / shall never
SCI 70 you again.-Geatrat

Ventilation of Cupboards.

In the sanitary arrangement of houses,
ever for the richer classes, the v~entila,
ton of cupboards is neglected. In
places let out as tenements, closets are
the receptacles for bread and the frag,
ments of various other kinds of food.
Often the dirty clothes arc put away in
these places waiting for the washing.
It is therefore important that air should
be plentifully passed through such cor
ners generally, there is but little ar
rangement made for this purpose. The
doors are kept close without any p~crfor-
alton. There are no ventilators in the
walls, and, in consequence, those places
become cases of polluted air, which,
when the doors are opened, escapes over
the apartments. This defect is visible
in nearly all houses of old date and
while looking at some houses of recent
construction, it is seen that, although
care had generally been taken to ventil-
ate staircases and rooms, the cupboards
are in this respect neglected.

BEHIND TIME.
BY JOSEPHINE POLLARD.

Hold on, Father Time, you are going too CAST
Pray, what is your terrible straight?
You must be afraid that your mistress or maid
Will sCold you for being too late!
Hold on, you old spendthrift! and answer me this:
Does Mother Time lOiteT about
To pick mp your stitches, the best Of your riches,
As fast as you ravel them out?
Why couldn you stop for an hour or two.
And give ms a chance TO take breath
Aud not 60 at this pace, as If life were a race,
And you must be in at the death
Those dear little minutes are tired, l know,
So long and steady they've run
And the seconds-tick, tick, goes their double quick
Are wishing the drill was most done.
No matter how early or late / may toll,
No matter how high l may climb,
The days viii go on ere my duties are done,
For l can't get ahead Of old Time!
Then III not waste the moments by counting the
hours,
But III work and III play with a will;
But how do ] know but to chaos we'd GO,
IF old Father Time should stand still :?

THE SUPREME QUEsTIoN.-Health is
the most important of earthly blessings,
and therefore the v anxiety of the
| sick to ascertain the relative merits of
| the various medicines in use is not sur
prising. Within the last two years
many thousands of invalids have aban-
doned the preparations of the pharma-
copolist for tn" remedy introduced by
DIR. Walker of California, under the
somewhat eccentric name of VINEGAR
BTTTERs. That this new vegetable med
icine is winning golden opinions of all
sorts Of people" is beyond a doubt.
The accounts we hear of it's extraordin-
airy effects III eases of chronic dyspepsia,
rheumatism, liver complaints, malariOus
f~evers, nervous prOstratiODs, and many
other distressing diseases, certainly jus
tify the popularity which it has every
where acquired.
DR.. Walker claims for his specific a
remedial power over all disorders that
do not involve an irreparable destruc-
ton of bone and fibre, and results SO
far appear to have justified the claim.
In this age of wonders we are not dis
posed to deny the possibility of any
phenomena not directly at variance with
the laws of nature and as it is held by
many psychologists that all maladies
proceed from the same generic cause,
we see no reason for the incredulity
with which ONE people regard the idea
of a universal medicine. DIR. Walkers
preparation seems destined to be uni
versally approved.

When we we're children, we thought as

IT is now generally admitted by honest ply
~s:cians, that when once the consumption is
fairly fastened upon the lungs no human pow
er can save the patient from death. They also
say that about fifty per cent of those who die
from this disease can trace the cause to a neg
lected cough or cold, which might have been
cured by a small bottle of Liquid Opodeldoc,
or what is the same thing. Johnson's Anodyne
Liniment.
