Eyergreens.

Frequent complaints have come to
US from various parts Of the State of
the dying of evergreens the second,
third and fourth year after setting
out. And as it generally known
the writer has been successful in the
cultivation of evergreens on the lawn
of his farm, instructions are asked
what to do to save the pets Of the lawn.
We have no advice to give, as we
have had no experience. Over seven
hundred pines adorn our premises,
and none have died. some Of which
are forty-five feet high. But they
are all pine (strobus.) 1t may be our
friends are introducing conifers
whose natures are not suitable to our
soil and climate. There must be
something either in the climate or
treatment. Many kinds will not
bear dwarfng nor heavy trimming.
1t is said by one writer that pines
will not flourish in the presence of
some other kinds of trees, such as
the walnut, butternut, etc. This
position we consider mere speculation
rs we have n large pine mingling its
branches with a butternut, both of
which are fourishing. If the loss of
evergreens was only in towns or cities,
we might attribute it to the presence
of gas in soil or air, or some other
impure influence. But the complaint
is also from the lawns Of farm-houses.
Westhink however, If the white pine
was cultivated in place of the Scotch,
or Australian, or the frs, there would
be less complaint. No tree surpasses
1t for usefulness or beauty. Its foli-
age is soft, its color of the brightest
green, and it's whole appearance
stately and graceful. More of them
should he cultivated. They give
comforts the eye, value to the farm
and relieve the dreariness OF the win
ter landscape amid our tieeless prair-
ies.--Aw. Dept. State Register.

The C. p. &. @. Railroad Company
have become alarmed at the litiga-
ton into which they are plunging,
By reason of the Iowa railroad law,
and have enjoined the Attorney
General from commencing any more
suits. Poor fellows, it is too bad that
they are prosecuted for the violation
of law which they say is unconsti-
tutional, but which they fear to test
before the Courts. Won't some one
pass the hat and take up collection

/. ..CHEw1Na CURVE have seen several
children lately chewing white substance, and
When" we asked what it was, we were answered
that it was chewing gum" Now If the little
hovs and girls of our city knew hat they were
Grinding between their teeth, it would come
out Of their mouths faster than it went IN. The
practice of chewing this gum has become very
general, so much so that it is used all over the
Union from Maine to Texas, and from Virginia
to California. So great is the demand that 1t
requires several large factories to furnish the
supply, the chief of which are in the New Eng
land States In all Of them the material out
of which the gum is manufactured is the
same, viz: dead animals. A dead dog is car
ricd to factory, its flesh, fat, &c, are combln-
ed with various chemical substances, and IN
few hours what went into one door as rotten
carcass comes out of another 10 the shape OF
several boxes Of sweet scented chewing gum:
Ofeourse some of the chemical acids to which
the loathsome flesh Of the dog is subjected are
apt to remain iu excess 10 the gum. In how
ever small quantities may remain, they are
sure to ruin the teeth. Every parent and teach
er should therefore strictly prohibit the che "
ing of this abomiuable gum; aud we have writ
ten this article both to show children what a
nasty thing they are in the habit of chewing
and how certainly their health will be injured
bv it and their teeth rotted out by it.-NorfoAk
