A Valuable Receipe,

The Journal Of Chemistry pub- fishes receipe for the destruc. tiOn of insects, which, if it be one half as efficaciOus as it is claimed to be, will prove invaluable
 Hot alum water is a recent sug- gestion as an insectitude. It will destroy red and black ants, cock reaches, chintz bugs, and all the crawling pests which infest our houses Take two pounds of alum and dissolve it in three or four quarts of boiling water, let it stand on the fire till the alum disap- pears, then apply it with 8 brush while nearly boiling hot to every joint and crevice in your cloSets,- bedsteads, pantry shelves and the like. Brush the crevices in. the floor of the skirting, or mop boards, if you expect that they harbor vermin.
 If, in white-washing a ceiling, plenty of alum is added to the lime, it will also serve to keep, insects at a distance. Cockcoach- es will flee the plant which has been washed in cool alum water. Sugar barrels and boxes can be freed from ants by drawing a chalk line just around the edge of the top of them. The mark must be unbroken, or they will creep over it; but a continuous oIoIIZ raorl- h off on ipoh i,, xr,i6tb will set their depredations at naught. Powdered alum or borax will keep the chintz bugs at a respectable distance, and travel lers should always carry a pack age in their hand bags, to scatter over and under their pillows in places where they have reason to suspect the presence of these bed-fellows.
The Arizona sentinel., 1875-09-04
Forest Culture.

Among the new crops of this
 generation may be mentioned the
 forest-trees for sh ade, protection,
 and use. The folly of denuding
 the earth of its best protection is
 shown in the recent floods which
 have desolated the naked sides of
 the Appenines and Pyrenees. Had
 the old forest-growth been protec-
 ted, instead of being swept of by
 the improvident people, it would
 have served to equalize the tenn
 perature, regulate the humidity, and store up in the vast reservoirs
 beneath it's roots water for use in time of need. Forests tend to pre- vent both great floods and great drOughts.
 American farmers are now learn- ing to plant trees, not only to tenn per the extremes of heat and cold and serve for wind belts, as on the Western prairies, but as a marke- table commodity, The favorite trees for planting seem to be the ash, black walnut, elm, sugar maple, and cottonwood. Ten acres of ash twelve years old are worth $6.000, or $50 an acre, while the trimmings pay for planting and cultivation. Ten acres of black ash planted for hoop-poles, four feet apart, will net $6, 5000 in sev- en years. An acre of honey To- cust fifteen years old is worth $l,- 900. Elm can be made-equally profitable. It is to be borne in mind, also, that our pine forests are being rapidly exhausted. They are vigorously trying to re new themselves, but the vandal axeman is a mortal foe, and he is moving down the heaviest woods of Maine, Pennsylvania, New York, Michigan, and Minnesota AS this source of supply fails some other must be opened, and it looks as if much of the building and furniture lumber of the next cen. tury would come from our arti- ficial forests.

A Georgia Fishing Outfit.

The following is an "order of supplies" recently sent to an Americus, Ga.) grocer, by a fish, ing excursion party: Dear sir : Myself and a couple of friends leave this morning on fishing excursion, and you will please send us by bearer, the following articles, which, if you prefer it, you can charge to either Jack Brown of Ben Locket. Either is the safest: Four pounds of salt and a small cask of whisky. One pound of ground pepper and a demijohn of whisky. Ten pounds of lard and large jug of whisky. One canvassed ham and six quart bottles of whisky. Three good stout fishing lines and three pock- ct f1asks of whisky. One paper of large Limerick hooks and a gallon of whisky in any old ves- sel you don't use about the store. Also send one pound of white su- gar and a small keg of whisky. Hurriedly yours, Phil Cook. P.S. As we shall be gone several days, and as snakes are bad on the river at this season, my phy- sician has just stepped in and suggested that we take little whisky. Send it, and enter it on your books with the other items as above. p. c.

The Professions and the Presidency

The confident prediction by so old and intelligent statesman as Hon. Alex. H. Stephens that the next President of the United States will be a journalist, sug- gests the inquiry as to how the different professions have fared in the past in the distribution of that honor. A nasty review of the list will be found the result as follows:
 Washington was soldier.
 Adams was lawyer.
 Jefferson was a lawyer.
 Madison was @ statesman.
 Monroe was lawyer,
 John Quincy Adams was law yer.
 Jackson was a soldier.
 VanBuren was lawyer.
 Harrison was a soldier.
 Tyler was lawyer.
 Polk was lawyer.
 Taylor was a soldier.
 Fillmore was lawyer.
 Pierce was a lawyer.
 Buchanan was lawyer.
 Lincoln was lawyer.
 Johnson was a lawyer.
 Grant was a soldier.
 It is true that Jackson was a law yer as we'll as sOldier-a Judge as we'll as a General-but as it was his career as a fighter that made him President, he is credited that profession. So Pierce was a Bri- gadier General in the Mexican war; but he didn't distinguish himself peculiarly as warrior, so we apply to him the correlative of the proposition that we applied to his great Democratic predecess- or. It should be explained with respect to Madison that he stu died law, but seemed to have been drawn into public life too soon to make any progress in the practice. -MiLlCGatkee Sentinel.
