ASHES FoR TREES. Make use of ashes
around fruit trees AS often as once year;
it is of immense benefit to them. Do rot
apply them in contact with the body Of
the tree unless they have been eached, ss
they become moistcned and form lye tco
strong for the growing wood. Use about
one quart of ashes TO a tree, scattering il
around them as far as the roots are cup
posed to extend underneath. Large trees
in bearing ten or twelve years should re-
ceive an application of from six TO eight
quarts of unleached ashes TO each tree,
scattered in the same manner. Never per-
nit the ashes to lie upon the ground in any
place more than one inch in depth

EARLY CABBAGEs, TOMATOES, &c.
Many people 20 without these little garden
things. because they are long distance
away from the place where the plants are
sold; or because they don't want the trou-

plants when they want but few dozen OF
each kind. But where this is the case al!
one needs may be raised in box of earth
in the kitchen window, or any part of the
house where there is light and a very little
warmth.
This is often done with tho tomato. but
the cabbage can be raised in the same
way, or even better, for the tomato must
be always secure from the frost. while 4
little of this will not effect the young plans
or seed Of the cabbage. Of the early cab
bare few people want more than % or 80,
aud n tcn.cent paper and a box about Il
foot square will produce this quantity With
a very little trouble. For early cabbage
they may be sown at once in this way.
There is often much trouble in raising
late cabbage seed, on account of the raw
ages of the fly, when the attempt is made
in the open ground; but where only few
are needed they might probably be raised
in this way, and thus be secured against
danger from this little pest No doubt
from fifty to a hundred could be very well
raised in n small box of this kind, and un
less where there is a tolerably large sauer-

the middle Of March, and the tomato not

How Far We See.

Herschel was of the opinion that,
with the telescope he used in those re-
rearches in the heavens which immor-
talized his name in the annals of sci
encs, he could penetrate 497 times
farther than Sirius, assumed to be at
least SO far distant that the sun is near
at hand in comparison. Whiieexplor-
ing with that instrument, 11e,0 900 stars
fitted by the object glass in one quarter
of en- hour, and that subtended an an
gle of only 15'. So all the worlds are
moving rapidly in space. Reckoning
from the limited zone thus inspected,
the whole celestial region could be ex-
amined by giving time enough to the
enterprise; and Judging from few
sections only within the scope of assist
ed vision, more than five billions of
fixed stars might be reasonably sup
posed to be recognizable, and could be
seen with modern improved instru-
ments. But more are beyond, vastly
beyond, and We are hoping and ex-
pecting that, when Mr.. Clark, heself-
made astronomer of Cambridge, Mass,
and the most progressive telescope
manufacturer now known to the scien-
fists, has completed his greatwork, far
more amazing discoveries will be made
in the armament. Surely, the mech
anism of the heavens demonstrates the
existence ofan Intelligent First Cause.
