VENTILATION FOR STABLEs.-A cor
respondent of the GERMANTOWN TELE-
GRAPH makes the following suggestions
on this important subject:
For small stable, say of ten cows,
cut hole through the floor and roof
about the centre of the stable, over the
cows, one foot square, put four 3x3
scantling up at each corner, running
above the roof from three to ten feet,
according to surroundings then board
up tight with matched lumber, putting
little cornice on top so that it will look
little tasty, representing chimney.
Now go on the roof and place your face
over the top of this chimney, and you
will soon be convinced that the impuri-
ties of your stable are fast passing
away. A damper should be put in this
chimney about midway, with a string
running down to the stable, so that it
can be opened or shut according to the
severity Of the weather.
Larger stables may have two or three
of these if desired. There is nothing
equals this for horse stables also. Re-
member it must come to the floor above
your stock

FODDER CoRN-If to be cured, the
earlier this is sown the better. That
for soiling purposes may be sown in
succession up to the last of July. The
land ought to be well enriched, and in
condition it will yield great quantity
of excellent feed. The best plan for
securing the best yield and for conve-
nience in cutting is to SOW in drills
about three feet apart, the grains being
from nine or ten to foot. Cut when
the corn is in full tassel, and put up in
small shocks to dry, or pile thickly
against the fences.

SWEET OR SUGAR CoRN-"D. S. c."
writes in the MARYLAND FARMER: 1t
appears to ME that most farmers do not
give attention, as much as it deserves,
to this rich, wholesome, succulent food /;
at least to saving it for Winter use, as
they can.
In Wisconsin, when farming there,
l always raised considerable quantity
of "Stowell's evergreen sweet corn
and saved it for Winter use, in this
way:
AT the last of the season, toward the
approach of frost, in October, we would
go into the patch and select consider
able quantities of the finest ears, break
them off close to the stalk, with all the
husks on then, still leaving all husks
on, we wreathed the top ends of three
ears together, tied string to them, and
hung them up in cellar-tops upward
in punches of threes, as many as we
desired to keep-hanging them free, so
as they would not touch the wall
In the Winter, at New Years, or
later, we would boil the ears, with the
husks still on, and they would come out
of the pot nearly as creamy and succu-
lent as when boiled in Summer-mak-
ing rich feast
In order to have succession, in the
Summer and Autumn, we would begin
planting early as could be, and then
continue to plant small patches, every
fortnight, as long as it would answer,
of the Stowell evergreen, and had a
rich reward for it.

TRANSATLANTIC BEETs.-Few people
know that the beet transplants almost
as we'll as the cabbage Almost all
people SOW their seeds too thick, through
fear that some of the seed will not grow.
After they are up they find the plants
must be thinned out, but after that there
will not be enough left to make half the
crop they require. In the case of the
beet, the Trimmings may be transplanted
and they will make nearly as good roots
as if the plants grew where the seeds
were sown. All that is necessary, is to
take care that the plants dc not wilt
and to this end little watering or
shading may be necessary.

KEROSENE Oil FOR INsECTs.-A cor
respondent Of the GARDENERS MONTH
LY says the simplest plan to use this
substance to destroy insects on plants
is to make some moderately strong soap
suds and mix little oil with it. 1t
readily combines with the suds and can
be then applied uniformly with a syr-
inge. 1t is the best thing for mealy
bugs and may be used in dilution suit
ed to the nature of the plant requiring
treatment.

TO force us way without exhaustion
through the earth. One can hardly
hold down mole with all the strength
that can be exerted with one hand, the
animal will succeed in slipping from the
grasp. In travelling under ground, the
snout, moved in various directions, is
supposed to facilitate loosening of par
ticles of earth; but the progress is
mainly effected by the powerful fore feet.
These are brought round in front, palms
outward, and the earth pushed back
with motion like that of the arms of
person in swimming, the hinder parts
of the body being meanwhile supported
by the hind feet, which are not of re-
markable proportions. When travelling
near the surface, the force exerted in
progressing forward sufices to throw
up a ridge of earth. These ridges,
marking the track of the animal, are
familiar to every one, extending many
feet or even yards, unbroken, in zigzag
course. 1t is only upon reflection that
we realize what enormous strength is
exerted in thus forcing o passage, when
one consequence of the movement is the
elevation EN- MAssE Of the ground
Fresh mole tracks are only observed in
the warmer months, in this country;
in the Winter the animal appears to
burrow deeper, probably beyond the in
1uence of frost. As far as known, our
INsEcTIvoRA do not hibernate, like
many rodents and some carnivora.-
Species of Shrews (SoREx), of the same
order, have been found abroad in the
northermost States during Winter, when
the SHOWS were deep, and the thermom-
eter far below zero. Such being the
case, moles must search for food the
year round, and this they probably do,

control them. The testimony of our best eti-
zens of all classes, establishes the fact that
CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and
cure the affecting disorders Of the Throat and
Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most
dangerous affections Of the Pulmonary Organs
yield to its power; and cases of Consump-
ton, cured by this preparation, are public
" known, so remarkable as hardly to be be-
lieved were they not proven beyond dispute.
AS remedy it Is adequate, on which the public
may rely for full protection. BY curing Coughs,
the forerunners of more serious disease, 1t saves
unnumbered lives, and an amount OF suffering
not to be computed. 1t challenges trial, and con-
vinces the most sceptical. Every family should
keep it on hand as protection against the early
and unperceved attack Of Pulmonary Affections,
which easily met at first, but which become
incurable and too often fatal il neglected. Ten.
der lungs need this defence; and it is unwise to
be without 1t. As safeguard to children, amid
the distressing diseases which beset the Throat
and Chest Of Childhood, CHERRY PICTORIAL
is invaluable; for by its timely use. multi
titudcs are rescued from premature graves, and
saved to the love and affection centred on them.
1t acts speedily and surely against ordinary colds,
securing sound and health-restoring sleep. No
one will suffer troublesome Influenza and pain
full Bronchitis, when they know how easily
they can be cured.
Originally the product Of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, no cost or toll
is spared in making every bottle in the utmost
possible perfection. 1t may be confidently re.
lied upon as possessing all the virtues 1t has
exhibited. and capable of producing as
memorable as the greatest it has ever effected.

considerable depths, as

in Winter, at considerable depths, as
just intimated.
What little mischief moles may do,
in places where they are extremely
numerous, is merely incidental to their
wanderings after food, and therefore, SO
to speak, unntentional. In continually
blowing through the ground, they nee
essarilv sometimes interfere with grow
ing crops. But this is nothing COM
pared with the good they do in destroy
ing myriads of Doxious insects. To
their voracity have already alluded.
Their eating power has been made the
subject of experiment with individuals
kept in captivity. l forget the exact
figures, but it was something startling,
reminding one of the little pig that ate
the pailful of swill and then got into
the bucket without half filling it
Earthworms appear to be their favorite
food, and probably hundreds of these
creatures are daily destroyed by each
mole. l should not be surprised if the
geographical distribution of the species
of ScALops in this country were found
closely coincident with that of LuM-
BRIcUs AS an item bearing upon this,
l may state there are probably no moles
in the Saskatchewan region, and neigh
boring United States territory; and we
have excellent authority (Sir John
richardson for the statement that there
are no earthworms in that country.
Besides worms, the mole eats and grubs
for beetles that come in his way. Ami
mails kept in confinement feed greedily
upon raw meat and it is fair to infer
that in a state of nature they devour
such young quadrupeds or even birds,
as they come upon. If this be true, as
it probably is, they are enemies of the
field mice themselves. These animals
bring forth underground, and their blind,
helpless young would be easy prey for
the mole This will probably beproven,
and the mole turn out to be the natural
agent to check the increase of injurious
rodents as we'll as of noxious insects.
Let the farmer look to his interests
then, and spare the moles. If their
presence on his premises is in unneces-
sary and obviously injurious numbers,
he may turn them out, but by no means
should he seek to extirpate them
When they seem to follow the track of
his pillow, let him remember that they
are not after what he plants, but that
they come to destroy enemies of his
crops. That they follow him for two
reasons. first because he makes the
ground easier for them to travel in, and
secondly, because the insects and the
rodents always attend his steps. Rail
roads interfere with agriculture to some
extent; but no one must try to extir-
pate moles unless by parity Of reason
ing he is also prepared to advocate the
adjustment of railroads.

ARLINGTON. The Petersburg Index. APP
neal SAYS: "Seuator Johnston is resolved to
make another manly effort to induce the Fed
eral Government to do justice to the heirs Of
Mrs. General Lee, by rendering fair compeusa'
ton for the property at Arlington, Which,
against every provision and precedent OF law
was con6scated during the recent war There
was never any shadow of right in the Govern
ment's claim to the estate, except some pre-
tense of unpaid taxes; aud We have the assur-
ance of Gen. Lee himself, that the otter to pay
the taxes assessed against Arlington was made
at the time by an authorized agent OF Mrs
Lee. It is crying shame that this righteous
claim should still be rejected by the Govern
ment of the great United States. If the Rad
icals 10 power have any regard for theh
own good name and the verdict of history, they
should by all means at once pay for this prop
erty, and not leave the act of justice to ot
