What Trees Show.

The Canada Farmer says forest trees
and Indigenous plants may be regarded
as opponents of the physical condition of
the soil, rather than of its chemical COM
position. A soil, on which oak, hickory
and tulip, or yellow poplar, are the prin-
cipal trees of the native forest, is most
suitable for the growth of wheat Ma
pie and beech producing soil is better
adapted to spring or summer crops, such
asbarley, corn and potatoes. The adapta-
ton of "white oak soil to winter wheat
and the beech and maple to spring
crops shows that it is the physical con-
dition that determines the fitness of the
soils for cultivated crops for we have
only to bear in mind that winter wheat,
barley, oats and corn are identical in
chemical composition. In both varieties
of soil the chemical constituents which
are necessary to the growth of beech,
maple, oak, poplar and hickory, wheat,
barley, corn and potatoes are present,
but the physical condition, or mechanical
texture of the two, is different.

Prop the Falling.

1t is great blessing to have by nature strong
inhabitants of the civilized world thus pro-
vided. Many constitutions are feeble to begin
WITH many othcrs, originally vigorous, are Grip
pied by over-exertion dissipation, unhealthy
roundiugs, grief privation, or some other porten-
tous cause, before the prime of life is attained.
But is this an evil without Il remedy or n pallia-
tive? No! constitutions can be replaced. Hun
dreds of thousands of instances might be adduced
in which constitutional decay has been arrested
by the continuous of Hostettel's Stomach Bit
tiers an invigorant tits constitutional strength
that enables one man to recover from disease
which would be mortal to another destitute of this
element of resistance. Whenever malady of any
kind obtains footh0ld in any part of the human
body, and becomes chronic fixture there, it is
proof positive that the constitution has been mas
tered by the disease and urgently requires help.
In such a Hostettcr's Bittcrs should be taken
at least three times day, until the natural powers
of the system are recruited. Then the morbid
principle which generated and fecds the com plant

AGRICULTURAL.



A Minnesota housekeeper furnishes
recipe which, she says, makes the best
yeast known to civilized women. She
has kept three months in the hottest
weather, and much longer in cool
weather, and never had any sour. The
flour should be thoroughly dried by the
fire before being made into sponge, an
important item of which many young
housekeepers are ignorant. The sponge
should be set at noon, mixed at night,
and nodded next morning. Stirring the
sponge after it begins to ferment makes
the bread white. Now for the recipe !:
One quart of hops put lightly in the
cup, one quart of potatoes pared and
sliced, one pint of corn Drowned like
coffee put the hops in a small bag, add
three quarts of boiling water, boil two
hours. Strain through cullender, add
one cup of white sugar, half cup of
salt, and water to make five quarts of
the mixture. When lukewarm add one
pint of the same yeast to ferment it. If
that is not at hand use potato yeast
without meal or -four, as that might sour
after awhile. Half cup is enough for
baking, large or small. The yeast
must be made in tin or porcelain. Let
it stand twenty-four hours in a warm
room, then bottle or can tightly and
keep in cool cellar. Half the ingre
dents will do for a small family.

Usage Orange from Roots.

A correspondent of the R"ral SIM
writes thus concerning this subject By
blowing near to my hedge sometimes
the roots would be broken and left stick
ing up out of the ground, in which case
they would invariably send up new
sprout from the end of the expoced root.
Taking an idea from this, | procured
small roots, from the size of goose
quill to the size of your finger, cut them
up into pieces about six inches long,
stuck them down into the ground in my
nursery bed, leaving one end level with
the top of the ground. This was done
in the spring of the year after all heav-
ing frosts ceased, and from every piece
of root thus planted, the succeeding fall
L had fine Usage orange sprout large
enough to take its place i'll the hedge
row next spring. Any one who has ac-
cess to an Usage orange hedge or trees,
so that they can procure the roots, can
have as many plants as they can get
pieces of root six inches long.

"THE Fate of Young Man" is the
title of new novel just published. We
know it already. 1t is to wait on some
young lady he thinks the acme of per-
lection, to spend all his spare cash, some
times more than he can spare-on her,
attend her to balls, theaters, parties and
church, and then find out, when he asks
the question to which an answer in the
affirmative will make him entirely happy
or depress him to the lowest depths of
dcpair and disarranged nGcktie, that she
is already engaged to be married to the
bald-headed wretch who wears eye
glasses and talks science. 1t is pleasant
just to have the adored object re-
mark " If we cannot be more, we can
at least be friends for life" If the
youth isn't a fool he bears his fate with
/ fortitude, and soon returns to his three
square meals day If he is fool, he
takes to telling all his friends about his
unhappy condition, gets drunk, wears
bad clothes, and-greatest folly of all
goes off and marries another woman
who has played some other young man
the same trick that was played on him,
self. If this isn't the "fate of young
man." then we've never been juvenile.
