Profitable Tree Planting.

It has been feared that Peruvian
bark, from which the various prepare
tions of quinine are made, would be-
come so nearl y extinct as to be no long
er procurable for medicine. Some
years since, the cultivation of the Gin
chona was taken up by the British
Government in India. As one of the
results of this planting, the Chemist
and Druggist says that, at recent sale
in Mincing Lane, a lot of messed crown
bark, from the Nilghera plantation,
fetched the prodigious price of IS. Sd. a
pound Altogether, 1855 pounds of
Nilgheri cinchona bark was sold on this
occasion, and the total sum realized
was 93,35O, the average price fetched
being about Is. 10d. a pound-a very
high average. The total cost of the
introduction of the cinchona into
India, including the cost of Mr.. Mark
hams expedition to Peru and India,
has from first to last been e7O, 900, and
the annual sales now realize net profit
of from $4,000 $4,000 a year. The
experiment. suggested by Sir George
Clark, and carried out by Mr.. Mark
ham, has therefore proved an assured
and splendid success.

A Souvenir of LOuis Phillinna

The Ithaca Journal says that Louis
Philippe D. Orleans, Comte de Paris,
has recently sent beautifully engraved
full-length portrait of his grandfather
to Prof. Potter, of Cornell University,
with an autograph inscription as fol-
lows: :" A Monsieur lie Professor Pot

graved portrait Of my grandfather, as a
proof of my gratitude for the way in
which his visit has been remembered in
your family. He had brought from
America also the best remembrances of
the hospitality which he had enjoyed
among your fellow-countrymen, and
has bequeathed to us that feeling of
friendship, which, as you know. your
political trials did not shake. I hope
that the portrait will reach you safely.

My Old Straw Hat.
A PARODY.

Who'll chide me for loving that old straw hat ?
I've gazed on it oft with unspeakable pleasure;
I've preserved ID long as sacred treasure;
I've guarded it long with tender care;
Twas the gift of maiden 50 loved and fair
Her fingers have woven each delicate plat,
And sacred thing is that old straw hat.
love it, I love it, and who will say
That should now cast that old hat away?
Ii hath circled my head where the sea-winds blow,
1t hath shielded my hair from the mountain snow
from the MONDAY sun it hath sheltered my brow
And think ye when old I'll desert it now?
In sunshine and storm and in wintry weather,
That old hat and have been friends together
~ cling to it fondly yet many day,
Till my eyes grow dim and my locks are gray:
And when deaths cold shaft to my bosom hath sped
1t shall moulder, unseen, in my earth-bound bed.
Ii tells me that life's parting sands run FAST
That earth's choicest gifts not long can last
And joy that a lesson pure as that
May be cleaned from the fate of my old straw hat

Rhubarb.

The Germantown Telegraph saws 6
good word for rhubarb g There is g
large class who are fond of this. It is
among the earliest green things and
though no one classes it amongst the
choicest of horticultural gifts, in the
abstract, yet on account of it's early
growth it will always be esteemed. It's
earliness being one of it's valuable
points, place should be selected for it
where it will get all the advantages OF
early Spring suns. Some people help
it by putting barrels over the roots.
This keeps out the cold; and, as the
rhubarb is stimulated to grow by very
little heat, the natural warmth of the
ground brings it up if the frost is kept
out Of the ground. Then the barrels
help to blanch it little, and it is not
quite SO sour as when left to grow
naturally In its own way. Rhubarb is
poor stuff when stringy, and it is the
aim of good growers to have it as pulpy
as possible. Therefore the soil is to be
made as rich as possible-as good as
manure can make it. When grown in
this way, even the outside is tender.
and it may be cut up for use without
even peeling, as is so often done. Some
varieties are, however, more tender
than others. There are, however, four
popular kinds which, when well grown.
are all of about equal value. These are
the Victoria, Linn@us, Magnum b.
mum, and Prince Albert. The Linnmus
is the best known, not because it is any
better than the others named, but sim
ply because some men who happened
to have large stock of it, some years
ago. hit on the brilliant idea of pushing
It Oft as the ''wine plant" and thus a
demand was especially created for this
one, thereby cutting out, by this bril-.
liant trick OF the trade, other men who
had large stocks of other varieties.
Only the "Linnaus was thus made
the true Simon Pure.
Rhubarb is very rapidly increased by
cutting an old 6 crown to pieces. Ii
these are split downward on a line with
the growth OF the root, every piece Of
root will grow, though it be split into a
score of pieces /; but pieces of root will
not grow unless there is a portion OF
the crown with it." The crown is the
upper portion or leaf-bud, just under
the ground. If very large stocks be
desired, the plants should not be set
too close. A root to every four feet
square is enough-that is to- say, the
plants should grow two feet from one
another every way. AS the rhubarb is
gross feeder, If they beput closer than
this they will likely starve one another

The tray, ladle, and all the utensils

which little salt has been dissolved,
and cooled with Jumps of ice. The
ladle is used freely, in bringing every
part of the butter in contact with the
water. Then the sailing is done, by
adding a small cupful of salt to every
four pounds of butter, and mixing it
well with the ladle, after which the
butter is set away in cool place for a
few hours. The second working with
the ladle is final. Then the butter is
weighed and rolled into one or two

The Chicken Cholera.

The most prevalent opinion, though,
seems to be that cholera is produced by
feeding too much corn. It may be, and
it may not be. So far as my observa-
ton goes, [ am convinced that it is
brought about by other causes, 4. e.
want Of pure water, worms, and flesh,
sometimes doing entirely without either
OF all for weeks The frstsymptoms of
cholera-are disinclination to move about,
and paleness of the head Kill the fowl
at once, make examination of the liver,
and you will find it enlarged and very
dark colored Next kill and examine
one after diarrnpa commences the
liver is much more enlarged and soften
ed, mass of pulp, much resembling
blood after being separated from it's
water. .##
In the last stages of chicken cholera
the liver IS seemingly a putrid mass.
In this vicinity farmers have been much
annoyed, and suffered loss from the dis
ease, A few have escaped, and these
have been SO situated that their fowls
had the run of an orchard, and plenty
of pure water The loss was heaviest
in dry seasons. The fowls all died
where the people had to haul their wa
ter. It is also contagious. Fowls that
are allowed to eat those that have died
of the disease, all die. Sulphur is a
good preventive but cleanliness,
mixed diet, good dry ashes, aud plenty
of clear water are better.

COnfining Cattle.

1t has always seemed to me very
cruel and hard on our domestic neat
cattle to keep them confined in tight
stanchions, tied by their necks the
greater part of the time, for six or seven
months during the year, especially the
patient COW, whose entire life is spent
in administering to our comforts and
wants, and [ hail with pleasure any
plan or device that can be adopted to
take away this disability from them,
and leave them free to get up or lie
down, to lick Or rub themselves, and
change their positions at will. N early
forty years ago I divided my cattle
stables into sections, about six feet
wide, by putting light and handy bars
across the stable, and letting the cattle
lie loose and single in the pens and
feed off the floor. These pens the cat
tie occupy summer and winter, when
not in the pastures. I keep these pens
well supplied with absorbents and bed
ding suited to the different seasons of
the year [ mingle the material that
forms the compost here; my cattle
stand at ease, feed or lie down, and
change their position as they choose
The above device has worked very
satisfactory with me, though I do not
pretend that [ have found out the best
way OF doing up this thing; but, on
the contrary, if [ were young and about
to build me another barn, as 1 did near
ly fifty years ago, I think [ would
devise plan for barn that would be
an Improvement on the one [ now
occupy. But what I do contend
for is, that the principle Is right, and
that cattle should not be confined in
their stalls by being tied up by their
necks IN tight stanchions, but some
way should be devised in principle like
the above, whereby they can have their
liberty in the stalls during the fodder
ing season.-Covespo,,dence Country
