Many farmers now see how much they

sale destruction Of forest trees upon their
lands By the nakedness of the coun-
Try, droughts are becoming common.
BY the scarcity Of timber trees the costs
Of fencing and erection. of buildings is
annually increasing. But there is one
way whereby amends may be partly
made. Let there be one united plan to
have rows Of besutiful and useful trees
set out on both sides of all our public
highways. Let sugar trees, walnut trees,
oak trees, chestnut trees, catslpa trees,
locust trees, silver-leafed trees, &C.,
stretch their long avenues In every direc-
ton all over the country. How it would
relieve the nRkedness of the lsndl What
a grateful shade they would give the
weary travelerl The value Of farms
would become almost Immediately en-
hanced as soon as these rows of beauti-

distant future, when those should arrive
at maturity of growth, the value Of the

BrOOmCOrn.

The Boston Commercial Bulletin calls
attention to the falling off of New Eng
lands trade in brooms. From 1S40 to
1855, Massachusetts, was almost the only
State engaged in raising broom corn and
manufacturing brOoms Along both
sides of the Connecticut were farmers
who cultivated this article, sometimes to
the exclusion of every other product,
while the manufacture was. carried on
mostly in Hadley and few other towns
IN Hampshire County. Boston was the
great distributing point for themanufac-
tured goods, and, besides supplying the
whole United States, q thriving export
business was built up by her merchants
In 1860, SOC, 900 brooms were shipped
from Massachusetts, to New Orleans,
Charleston, Savannah, and other South
ern cities. The war put an end to the
business. At present, there is probably
not an acre Of broom corn sown In New
England, the farmers who were formerly
IN the business having mostly taken in
tobacco raising. The great broom corn
raising State is now Illinois, New York
and Ohio coming next. Chicago and
Cincinnati are the centers of the bust
ness, while New York is the great depot
for manufactured goods.

WHAT THE CHIMNEY SANG.
By BRET HARTE.


Over the chimney the night wind sang.
And chanted a melody no one knew;
And the woman stopped as the babe she
tossed,
And thought of the one she had long ago
lost,
And said as her tear drops back she for
ced,
- 81 hate the wind in the chimney"
Over the chimney the night wind sang
And chanted a melody no one knew;
And the children said as they closer drew
'''Iis some witch that is chewing the
black night through
1Tis fairy trumpet that just then blew,
And we fear the wind In the chimney" "
Over the chimney the night wind sang
And chanted a melody no one knew;
And the man who sat on the hearth below
Said to himself It viii surely snow,
And fuel is dear and wages low,
And III stop the leak in the chimney.
Over the chimney the night wind sang
And chanted a melody no one knew;
But the poet listened and smiled, for be
Was Man, and Woman, and Child, al
three,
And he safd, ''It is Gods own harmony,
This wind that sings in the chimney.

Digging Potatoes.

One Of the plans we pursued, years
ago, was to take One-horse plow run
ming only to the bottom of the potatoes,
and, passing up one side Of the hill and
down the other, throwing the dirt away
lust 50 as to expose, here and there, q po-
tato. Pickers followed with baskets to
gather what they uncovered One row
wasthen skipped, thus working alter
nate rows. Another furrow was then
pared of, gauging the furToy to the size
of the potatoes. These were picked up.
The center was split and picked over,
and then the alternate rows were worked
Afterwards the ground was narrowed with
a revolving harrow, if possible, and the
remainder were picked up. The crop
was as cleanly gathered as usually done
by hand.
1t is essential that potatoes be kept en-
tirely from the light In order that then
eating qualities be not impaired They
belong to a family Ofplants (Solanum)

posed to the light they change color, and
eventually become green. Even expo

take place, although more slowly. The
potato Immediately loses its farinaceous
qualities, and, at last, the tuber becomes
absolutely poisonous. Indeed, manyper-

ICE FOR DIPHTHERIA.

A recent letter written by DIR, George
Cragin, of the Oneida Community, thus
explains a novel but what is claimed to
be very successful treatment Of diph-
liberia:
Recognizing as we do the spiritual
nature of disease, as well as its spiritual
characteristics, our first efforts were to
arouse the spirit of the patient by means
of criticism to resist thepower and leaden
Influence of disease which envelOped him
like cloud, SIMPLIFYING and befogging
every mental faculty and effort of the
viii to repel the intruder. The lnvarla-
be effect of criticism was to stir up the
patient in mind and heart to make q stout
defense against the attack, to resist the
influence Of the disease with might and
main, and to throw him into q sweat,
thus at once relieving the fever.
''The next thing was to prepare @
quantity of ice broken into small bits
which could be easily taken into the
mouth and swallowed or allowed 10 melt,
letting the piece slip as far back as pos
sible around the roots of the tongue, ton
sils and upper part Of the throat. This
application of ice was made every ten
minutes, day and night, until every YES
tige Of the canker had disappeared and
1.-THE Inflammation had subsided. During
the day the patients, unless very sick,
could help themselves to ice If supply
were placed at the bedside or near at
hand but during the night watchers
were required to give the necessary lump
of ice every ten minutes, one nurse at
tending to several patients. This course
of treatment was faithfully followed as
Ilong as there were any traces OF the dis
ease about, and although we had over
sixty cases during the fall and winter,
aud many of them very severe, we lost
mot single patient after adopting the
lice criticism treatment.
''Of course the application Of criticism
would be diffcult if notimpossible under
lordinary hospital lroutine or private prac-
Itice, even if desired by the patient, but
the application of ice can be made under
ANY circumstances, and there must be
but few who can not afford q few pounds
lOf medicine SO cheap, 50 pure and 80
powerful
''The efficacy of the ice treatment lies
in its being FPplied continueuily until
every trace of the fungus growth has dis
appeared and the swelling and infamma-
ton has subsidized. Acids, alkalies and
fashionable gargles viii N some measure
Ilcbeck the morbid growth, but they can
mot allsy the fierce heat and reduce the
inflammation of the swelled throat. Ice

ing: -.f-.sa
If you have moment to spare, spruce
I'D; put the gate on its hinges; put a lit
tie paint on the picket fence you built
last year; trim up your door yard; make
Il cosy and inviting. Do not say you
can't find time TO attend TO these things.
The fact is you have no right to be SLOW
enly. It can do you no good, but on
the contrary it viii mar your peace,
wound your self respect, and impair
your credit. Then by all means spruce
up little at odd times, or at even times,
for that matter. 1t viii make you feel
vastly better, and maybe triAe proud

A Gossip's Punishment.

In a small society like that of Edin-
burgh there was a good deal of OF scan
dial and gossip every ones character
and conduct were freely criticised, and
by none more than by my aunt and her
friends. She used to sit at a window
embroideripg, where she not only could
see every one that passed, but with a
small telescope could look into the
dressing-room OF a lady of her acquaint-
ance, aud watch all she did. A spinster
lady of good family, a cousin OF ours,
carried her gossip so far, that she was
tried for defamation and condemned to
a months Imprisonment, which she ac-
tually underwent in the Tolbooth. She
was let out inst before the kings birth
day, to celebrate which, besides the
guns fired at the castle, the boys let off
squibs and crackers in all the streets.
As the lady in question was walking up
High street, some lads in a yard or mar
row street, fired a small cannon, and
one of the sings with which it was loaded
hit her mouth and wounded her tongue.
This raised a universal laugh and no
one enjoyed it more than my uncle Will
liam, who disliked this somewhat mas
culine woman.-lL'S. NOmerrilie's 1uto-

Dairy MANAGEMENT.

DIR. Nichols, of the Boston journal
OF Chemistry, gives some very useful
hints relative to the management of
dairy cows, which are very timely at
this inclement season. He says: The
extreme scnitiveness of the Imammary
functions in COWS to the inhucnc, OF
cold, fatigue, excitement, unpleasant
odors, etc, il indeed surprising. We
have been greatly Interested in observ-
ing the effect of cold upon the milk
sccrctions ms seen in the herd of cows
upon the farm. During the past sum
mer, in the hot days of July and Au-
gust, tho animals resorted to the lake
to drink, and after shaking their thirst,
they would wade into the water and re-
main sometimes an hour or two with
tho legs half immersed. This habit, it
was found, invariably diminishes the
flow of mil ut night, and in order to
learn the extent Of the diminution. |
careful observation was made. IL was
ascertained that standing in the water
an hour diminishes tho flow to the
amount OF eight or ten quarts in a herd
Of thirteen cows. The loss was 80

tho water they were driven away to the
pasture again at once. The nature of
the water supply, and the conveniences
OF access, nre most important points in
the management of milch cows. A
draught of ice cold water, taken by n
cow IN winter, cuts short the milk Weld
the day from one to two pints.
The influence of a cold current of air.
and cold drinking water upon cows in

Refunding the Cotton Tax,

MIR. Cook, of Georgin, has introduced
a bill in the house, which provides for
the refunding of the tax Collected on
raw cotton from 1863 to 1865. Recog-
MIXING the depleted condition of the
public treasury, and The fact that sum.
cient revenue may not be collected TO
meet the current expenses, the present
bill proposes to issue thirty-year bonds,
bearing five per cent. interest, payable
IN gold, to an amount equal to the whole
tax collected and provides that since
the several states can more convenient
ly and satisfactorily refund said tax
than the government OF the United
therefore these bonds shall be
issued to the several states in which the
was collected. The amounts awar.
lei to the several states are as follows
