WE yesterday dropped into the stu
do of Professor Jacob Boil at his resi-
dence on Swiss street, and were graft
fled to see the progress he has made in
the collection Of specimens in the in
sect and other branches of animated
nature. 1t will repay the curious to
spend half an hour in viewing the pro-
auctions of our own region, beautifully
arranged in glass cases.
The professor, as naturalist, seeks
to turn his knowledge to practical ac-
count by study Of insect life and the
best means of destroyingsuch as are in
furious to crops. This includes the
cotton worm, and we hope that he may
suggest more efticacous mode of rid
ding the country of that destructive
pest. When here four years ago, he
advanced the theory that the eggs of
the insect were depositedOn the cotton
stalk, and therefore that by burning
the dry stubble after gathering the
crop, their progeny would be vastly re-
duced and possibly, in few years, ex-
terminated. Should this prove to be
sound theory, which can easily be test
ed, the planting interest will be inesti-
mably benefited.
Professor Boil brought with him last
winter some eggs of the japanese silk
worm, which feeds upon post oak
leaves. They have been successfully
Matched and appear healthy and vigor-
Gus. He retains some in pavilion
for experimental observation, and has
placed some on oak trees to test their
adaptation to the country.

Dear Editor Grange Advance:
am going to write again. I wrote
the week before last, and you did not
put it in the paper: and so I thought 1
would try again. That is what they
say, try, try again, and SO I thought l
would. I was going to say something
to Aunt Betsy, she is always talking
about the girls and running them down
all the time, and if all the girls were
like me they would not stand it, they
would all write and tell her that we are
not to be run down They all say we
do not know anything. They forget
that they were girls once themselves.
When they see anything in the paper,
they always tell US about it a half
dozen times and jeer and sneer, That
is all I have to say about that this time.
I will write again next week. So good
night.
P. 81 forgot one thing, you said
something about baking and washing.

know how to make sold New England
doughnuts;" please send the receipt for
them. S.
We do not know anything about the
letter our little friend speaks Of How
did she send it. We like her maxim,
"try, try again." If our young friends
desire to make themselves respectable
and influential men and women they will
accomplish this only by repeated efforts
ard continued perseverance. That boy
or girl who becomes discouraged with
one or two failures is weak and coward
ly, and unworthy of responsible posi-
tion in life. The boy or the girl VIII
never tries to do anything will not make
many mistakes or failures, nor will h,
or she ever amount to anything in thi
world. Those who are continually striv
ing to do something for themselves
their friends. and the world will Otter
make great mistakes, but in the enc
they will have accomplished much
while the others will be like the ma,
who hid his talent in the earth. Nov
boys and girls, who are in favor of tn
, motto, try, try again.

3 in his cake, Bpt there was q glimmsr;
ing Of something in him that showed
dst a iKles through his uncouthnessl
|E'Aftersa year or two he became full
farm laborer-a broad-shouldered,
deep -chested, powerful fellow who made
himself clumsily useful. Well, about
that time the farmers daughter came
home from school. What a revelation
she was to Tom. He never knew un-
til then what it was to worshi p any,
thing, or how awkward and coarse he
was. He would have given all he
had, which wasn't much, to learn how
to get into room without hitting the
door, or what to do with his hands, or
how to sit down right He began to
change his clothes for better ones when
he came in from his days work, and
there was about him the dawning ng of
improvement. Finally the great day
came. He stood trembling before the
farmers daughter, the hard word was
spoken, and she didn't repulse him. I
think there is nothing in the life of a
man which so rouses and stirs him as
love. Tom went to the wrestling
matches, and what a vim there was in
him. He read, he went to church, he
wanted to see how people acted. And
when, after a good life, he grew to be
an old man, and talked in a trembling
voice to his grandchildren, he used to
say, 20, what a wife she was to me.
Whatever I became she made me" /"
The world is full Of just such instances
Of blessed influence.

AGRICULTURAL.
Corn and Hogs.

Below we give some statistics taken
from the columns Of our exchanges.
We publish it, as it possesses the merit
of being at least guide for making CAL
culations. How near the figures given
are correct, we are unable to say. The
opinions of our readers on this subject
would be very acceptable. Who will
respond !? .
Every producer and intelligent farm
er understands perfectly, and acts con-
tinually upon the fact that one bushel
Of corn properly fed. and with good care
for the hogs, will make ten pounds of
gross pork From this admitted fact
we deduce the following:
Corn fed out at twelve and one half
cents per bushel will fatten hogs at one
and one-fourth cents per pound gross.
Corn fed out at twenty cents per BUSH
el will tatteu hogs at two cents per pound
gross.
Corn fed out at twenty-five cents per
bushel will fatten hogs at two and one.
half cents per pound gross.
Corn fed out at thirty cents per bush.
el will fatten hogs at three cents per

Corn fed out at thirty-6ve cents per

HAY CREEK, Goodhue Co.,
Feb. 24th, 1874:

DEAR EDITORS This is the first
time / ever wrote to any paper before.
I am going to school this winter, and my
father and brother are hauling wheat,
and have been hauling alt winter. We
have good deal Of hay to sell in the
winter, and my two sisters are going to
school with me, and we have singing
school at night, and spelling school too,
and we have a good time in the winter,
and last summer we done all the work
alone, and we put about seventy-6ve tons
OF hay up last summer, and about fifteen
hundred bushels Of wheat last year, and

Editors Of the Grange Advance

Editors Of the Grange Advamce:
[ wrote to you once before, and told you
not to print my name, and you didn't.
You done the fair thing by me, and 1
hope you will again. You thought the
school ma'am had been going for me,
and that's the reason didn't like her.
You was mistaken about that. She has
never licked me once, but I don't like
her, and never will, unless my mind
changes from what it is now, and I don't
think it will. If I could write as good
as some Of the other boys and girls I
would let you put in my name, but I'm
ashamed to have them all know who
am. Perhaps next summer I can write
good enough to have my name in the
paper, but they won't know it's the same
boy that wrote this. I like to read the
letters from the boys and girls, and I
wish some more of them would write.
That's all I have got to say this time
Good bye.
(We are just little suspicious this
boy does not want the teacher to know
who he is, and that he does not like her.
We hope that there are not many boys
who do not love their teachers.-ED.)

How to Make an Orchard.

In commencing to make an orchard,
bear in mind that it is not for day or
year: but for lifetime. and if we
make mistakes it may take years to find
them out and many years more to cor
rect them. We should, therefore, con-
slider carefully what we will plant, and
where and how we will plant to bring
the best returns A small orchard we'll
tended is worth more than large one
that is neglected, and no one should
plant more than he can care for.
Select, If possible, the highest ground
on the farm for your orchard ste and
have it naturally or artifcially drained
so that water will never stand about the
roots
The soil should be we'll prepared by
a thorough and deep blowing the fail
before plan ting
Having the ground selected and pre-
pared for the orchard, 60 to the nearest
reliable nursery and get the trees fresh
from the ground. If not convenient to
go to the nursery, make up club with
your neighbors, and select the trees or
send your order to some reliable man.
If you cannot find any better way to get
your trees buy of peddler rather than
to 60 without though it is a much bet
ter way to buy direct of the man who
grows them.
Do not expose the roots to sun or air.
and as soon as you get them bury them
in moist earth. taking out only as wanted
for planting. Never dig large, deer
holes for water to stand in under the
trees, but have the ground all well
worked. Throw out enough earth tt
give the roots ample room to set youl
trees in and fill up carefully with fint
mellow earth, pressing it firmly abou
the roots. The planting should be don.
when the ground is in good order fo1
j working and not too wet; if dry, water
when the earth is nearly filed in, ano
then fill up with dry earth to preven
baking.
On good soil, not too light but vel
drained, plant Two or three inches deep
er than the trees grew in the nursery
II the soil is tenacious and not vel
drained plant almost on top and ridg'
up to them, leaving dead furrows 70
drains between the rows, and raise tn
earth about the trees three or four inches
so they will stand deeper than the
grew.
In light, sandy, well.drained sol
plant five or six inches deeper than th
trees grew.
| My experience teaches me that tn
best time to plant is in the spring be
fore the growth starts, but it will do t
plant unit il the buds are fairly opened
