Hint. on Clearing W..dr.us..

While fully endorsing the repeated protests of
the 1gricEltHTist againts the universal destrnc-
ton of forest trees, it is to be admitted that
there are times when woodland should be clear
of his land permanently in timber, and yet clear
of portion every ten or fifteen years.
1t is often recommended to cut ont only the
old and decayed trees in a woOd-lOt, leaving the
Younger to grow and fiji their place. But expe-
Tsence has now pretty well shown that the best
way is to cut off the entire growth at Once clean
and smooth, and then let the trees sprOut up
again from the roots, or from new planting. In
cutting out large trees, the smaller are inevita-
bly, broken or injured, and in the comparative
shade, few young trees spring up. 1t is believed
that great amount Of fuel can be got in a given
time from an acre of land entirely cleared at
once than from one merely cnlled of its large
trees. 1t has been found that wOOd-lots should
be cut over once in fifteen to twenty years. FoI
the two or three years next after cutting, the lot
should be fenced in, to prevent cattle from brow
sing down the young shoots. Care should be
taken, also, to prevent fires from spreading into
such lots. Land so managed will yield from
eighteen to twenty cords of good wood per acre
At each cutting.
II is important to cut trees close to the ground
whether the land is to be permanently cleared
up or only stripped for the time gifts trees. The
best wood is often nearest the earth. If the
field is to be titled, teams can work better among
low stumps than high ones; aud if the trees are
to grow up again, the sprouts will grow mort
vigorously from short stumps than from long
ones, and be less likely to be blown of at tn,
base by the wind.
Now, in this month of December, is the best
time for doing this part of farm work. Now
while the snow is light, end the cold not intense
the trees can be cut closer to the ground thar
when the snow is deep, aud the small limbs and
brush can be more easily gathered and saved

ApuI;cn,iou Of Mauur. in winter.

Last spring for theft rst time heard good deal
about the spreading of fresh manure in the win
ter. l had always been bred in the notion that
we ought to be very careful how we handled our
fresh manure, that we ought to keep it close
as possible pillow it in, cover it in some way, and
not expose it to the air. had not much of it;
was little choice of it. 1t was quite necessa-
~ for me to save what had. But think the
tendency of mems minds is to think that they
ought to plOw in manure quite green and fresh,
and / have seen very much of it done. l COM
menced in the early part of the winter and cart
cd out what had-perhaps one hundred bnsh-
els that not more than three or four weeks old.
1t was quite fresh, 1--WE kept il in the barn cellar
trodden By pigs). Five or six weeks later We
carted ont more, and we kept on in that routine
1t was on q meadow. We had occasionally
spells when the ground was entirely bare that
winter, and there were drying winds. In look
ing at that meadow this spring / had supposed
! should find certain strips where had applied
the MANURE, upon which / should never see much
effect produced by it. I had marks, so that l
could tell distinctly where each lot of manure
was applied, and also had record of the dates
Oh which each lot was spread and the circum.
stances There was good deal of sand in this
manure. marked particularly one strip where
the land had lain fortnight without any cover
ing whatever. 1t lay right alongside of a strip
that was covered with snow the next day after
the manure was applied to it. i could
sign there of difference in the growth of the
grass; cOuld difference between that
which bad been exposed to those drying winds
and that which had been immediately covered
with heavy snow that afterward melted, and
washed aud soaked the manure into the ground.
We have had very wet season this year. i
have been 40 much encouraged with the result
of this experiment that shall try it again..

few Sabbaths since, says the Lynn Ners, an
orthodox Clergyman IN this vicinity exchanged
with Baptist brother FROM a neighboring city,
who preached Oh the character of David, giving
his own ideas of that good man, which did not
agree exactly with the opinion of some of the
church to whom he was talking. After the con-
gregaIion had emerged from the house, We made
1t perfectly convenient TO walk along with one
of the DeacOns, a fine man, and "Of the straight

Keepiur AppIe. Through the Winter.

Mr.. Alexander Hyde, q well-kaown agricultur-
list of Massachusetts,, communicates to the Netc
York Times some useful suggestions in regard 10
keeping apples through the winter. One method
is TO wrap each apple in bit of old newspaper,
the paper serving both to keep out the air and
to prevent the apple from bruising in trsnspor-
tstion. A method more effectual still is to ill
the barrels nearly full of apples and then put in
some dry fine sand OF powdered plaster and shake
II down gently. This will ell up all the inter-
stices between the apples and keep them fresh
indefinitely. Another mode is to pit the apples
in some dry, sandy or grayelly soil, just as tur
nips aud potatoes are pitted. On this point Mr..
HYDE saws: ''They will keep splendidly through
the Winter thus pitted, but must be used
speedily in the Spring after they are dug out. as
they will rot soon after exposure to the light
and air. In order to pit apples, select some dry
spot where there II NO possibility of water filling
the pit, and dig hole threeor four feet deep aud
of any required size, place some clean dry straw
on the bottom, and on this the apples, to the
depth of two feet, covering the whole with lay
or of straw and then layer of earth, raising the
latter above the general level Of the ground and
sloping it roof fashion, SO that it will shed rain
The apples will come ont in the Spring as crisp
as cabbage when pitted in this way"

How TO CLEAR SOAP SUDs.-It is well known
that little alum dissolved is very effective in
cleaning muddy water; but short time since
some alum was applied in 9 manner which, from
it's novelty and its valuable results, is worthy of
notice. In place where water is scarce at pres
ent, little alum was dissolved in hot water, and
thrown into tub Of thick soap suds- In mo-
ment the soap curdled, and accompanied by the
muddy PARTICLES, sank to the bottom, leaving the
water perfectly clear, pure, and devoid Of smell
This water was found very useful for washing
clothing again, when poured off the sediment.
A similar result was attained in a quick manner.

SCARLET FEvER.-In this disease the parents
and the school teacher are often concerned to
know how long time must elapse before it is
safe to admit the cOnvaescent children To min
gle with other children. And the answer is,
that for a month, at least, the body of a scarlet
fever patient is casting off scales from the skin,
and from the nOse throat, bowels, aud kidneys
discharges which poisonous, and convey the
disease. The chief danger, however, arises from
the skin, this is the main outlet for the blood
