or other vessels containing them placed on
the north side OF some building or other

too dry or soaked with water The seeds

Upon every farm there should be small
seeding nursery Of the best kinds of or.
namental and useful trees, from which the
farmer can obtain whatever he NAV re.
quire of this kind either for plantins
about his grounds for shade, or shelter
or for future supply of timber. A half
acre or an acre of such seedlings would
not cost a very large sum OF money, even
if the seed had to be purchased. But there
! are many localities where all these could
be obtained from forests near by, costing
| nothing but the time spent in gathering
them. If any of our readers will but
think OF the difference in value between a
| thousand white-ash seed or hickory nuts,
and trees ten to twenty years old, we be-
| lieve they cannot fail to see the importance
OF making a beginning in the culture of
such trees Immediately. The trees grow
| in size and in value while we are Sleep
| ing; in fact, they increase in value
| through hard times and good times, and
| the cultivatvr grows older no faster with
| such surroundings than without them
The great objection urged by many to
raising forest trees is that they require so
| much time to reach available size, which
| is quite true; but they neither lengthen
nor shorten a mans life but move along
| with him provided he gives them an OBJ
portunity of doing so. There are doubt
| less many men who can look back twenty
years or more to a time when, if they had
planted wisely, they would now have
| something like fortune in place of little
| or nothing. Another twenty years may
pass, and doubtless will with many, bring
| ing no better results; hence we say to
| every owner OF a farm, look about and see
| 1t there is not something in the way of
trees which you can plant with fair
| prospect of profitable return at some
| future time for the labor bestowed upon
them. Good ash, oak and hickory tim
Der, suitable for working into agricultural
| Implements has advanced in many locali-
| ties 800 to 400 per cent. in value during
the past twenty years, and there are very
good reasons for believing that these
| woods will continue to advance during
the next twenty; consequently the pros
poets of a good market in the future
could scarcely be better If man has
no spare field in which to plant timber
| trees let him surround the farm with
them and thus give protection to his
crops in summer and at the same time
| add an ornament to his domain which in
the end cannot fail to be source of
profit " y sam

A balky horse is insane on the subject
OF going. II we can manage to make
him think on some other subject he will
naturally forget about going and go before
he knows it. The following devices have
been successfully tried to accomplish the
desired end: l. Tying string around the
horses ear close to the head 2. Hitching
the horse to the swinglctree by means of a
cord instead Of the tugs; the cord fastened
to the horses tail. 3. Filling the mouth
full of some disagreeable substance 4
Tying stout Irvine around the leg just
below the knee and then removing it when
he has travelled some distance. Never
whip IA balky horse, for the more he is
whipped the crazier he will become Let
everything be done gently, for boisterous
words only confuse him and make him
worse. Treat him in the mild manner

Many housekeepers complain to the
butcher at the disproportion between the
size OF the meat and the money they have
paid for it, and, weighing it, find it much
less than paid for, but their representa-
tons are met with the statement that it is
the trimmings which make the difference.
Suppose you sent to your grocer for nine
pounds of butter, which he should pro-
coed to weigh, and otlernard took knife
and carefully trimmed all'the edges where
the firkin or the brine had left unsightly
lines and marks upon it, and that should
amount to half or three quarters or a
whole pound, you would send it back
much more quickly than it came. Now,
is there any good reason why we should
submit to "A loss from the butcher sooner
than from the grocery But we have and
do, and must submit to it until house
keepers make "a determined effort to right
the wrong and insist always upon having
as good weight for meat as for groceries.

The French Way of Sailing Pork.

Bacon is almost the only meat ever
tasted by hundreds of thousands Of French
men, and they have become connoisseurs
in the method of preparing it,
As soon as the pig is killed it is always
singed, not scalded; the carcass being
placed upon bundle of straw and the
fire set to it to windward As one side is
singed the pig is turned over; and if any
bristes remain they are burnt off with
wisps Of blazing straw. Next it is brushed
and scraped with knife, and washed
clean with cold water.
After cutting it open the fry" is placed
into water to be cleansed from blood, and
atterward it is speedily cooked. Some
persons will leave the open carcass to
cool all night; while others kill by early
dawn and cut up in the evening, by
candlelight, to save time. The pig
is cut up into convenient pieces,
of from three to five pounds each,
reserving the hams, feet, heads and tails
for special treats; also few roasting
pieces and some sausagemeat. The .eet
are then boiled tender and broiled as It'd
bits.
For a pig weighing 200 pounds take
thirty pounds of common salt, quarter
Oft pound OF saltpeter, two ounces OF
ground pepper and four ounces of ground
allspice and cloves mixed together. Stir
these ingredients up well and rub each
piece of pork, whether it is to be sailed or
smoked; then sprinkle the mixture over
the bottom of the tub and put in layer
OF meat, sprinkling it with the salt and
spices; and do so until ii is all packed,
covering the upper layer thickly with the
salt. Cover up closely and it will keep
perfectly and be more toothsome than
pork picked in the common way.-N. l.

MECHANICAL AND SCIENTIFIC.

The presence OF phosphorus, or some
one OF its compounds, has been observed
to be one necessary condition for the de-
velopment fputrefaction--the more phos-
phorus the more rapid the process of pu-
tretaction. The bad odor is supposed
by those who have investigated the mat
ter to be owing to the escape of
phosphoretted hydrogen, and to the same
compound is attributed the luminosity of
putrescent matter under some circum.
stances, On passing the gases evolved
from putretying matter through argentic
nitrate no phosphorus compound of sill
yer is formed, Notwithstanding the com
plete deodorization of the gases by passage
through the silver solution.
Samuel Haughton, autho. of work
on "Animal Mechanics" writes to Nature
respecting the relative strength of the
lion and the tiger: Il have proved that
the strength Of the lion in the fore limbs
is only go 8 per cent of that of the tiger,
and that the strength of hind limbs is
only $50 per cent. OF that of the tiger.
may add that five men can easily hold
down lion, while ii requires nine men
to control tiger. Martial also states that
the tigers always killed the lions in the
pretentious humbug, and owes his reputa-
ton 10 his imposing name, and he will
run away like a whipped cur under cir
cumStances in which the tiger will boldly
attack and kill"

notched, and the rails let into them about
four inches They are then keyed firmly

June 80, 1874. were $l02, A4, TAG; for the year
ended June 80 1873, $ll0,545,l 5i. The in.
crease during the last fiscal year is owing in
part to the increase of the duties laid by the
act Of March j. 1875, upon distilled spirits,
manufactured tobacco, cigars, cigarettes and
in part to taxes collected under the laws re-
pealcd, extraordinary efforts having been put
forth to collect delinquent taxes due from
