Buy Small Trees.

The average American is in a grea:.
hurry to realize on his investments.
If he orders few garden seeds in
January, he is anxious to have them
sent Immediately, and if he forwards
six GEMS tor copy of some paper
which contains story of which he
has read or heard, he does not forget
to request the publisher to send it
"by return mail" Patience, which
takes the form of quiet waiting, is a
virtue OF which he seems to be wholly
ignorant. He cannot wait the pro-
gress Of events, but must constantly
hurry and fret in order to make ma
tire move 4 little faster than her
wonted pace.
This tendency crops out very plain
ly when he purchases trees. He
finds them described in the catalogue
as "second Glass;" and "extra." The
difference in these classes is princi-
pally, if not wholly. in the size and
height of the trees. The larger the
trees, the higher the price. But the
farmer "don t care anything about
that" He wants good trees or none;
and gives his orders for those of extra
size, and which are four and FIVE years
old. In doing this, he thinks he is
acting wisely, but the nurseryman
knows uetter, and the farmer will
find before long that with equal care,
the small trees will grow faster Gt' a
fruit tree), and come into bearing
condition sooner than the large ones.
In half a dozen years, the tree that
was small when planted will be
larger and finer than the other. The
reason for this is obvious. The larger
the tree, the larger the roots which 1t
has, and the larger the roots the less
tibres there will be upon them. A
tree that has plenty of 6brous roots
will grow readily, if proper care is
used in transplanti' G, but no amount
of skill can coax tree to live and
flourish which is destitute Of these
little fibres. The roots of large trees
are more or less mutilated in the pro-
cess of taking up, while the small
trees sustain little injury from this
source. Dealers in trees assert tina,
experienced men buy small, thrifty
trees, while those VINO are just start
ing, are anxious for the largest ones
to be had. Those who are to sci
trees the coming season will do well
to learn from the experience Of those
who at considerable loss to them
selves, have demonstrated small trees
are the ones to buy.-N. b. Home

The New Age of Glass.

NJ. Bastie's tempered or touhgened
glass is attracting very general atten-
ton in Europe, and seems destined to
revolutionize the manufacture of that
useful article. It has already been
made in sufficient experimental guam
titles to prove its applicability to all
purposes for which glass is now used,
and to many others for which, but for
it's frugility. it would have been en-
ployed. Vessels manufactured of tough
ened glass, though not distinguishable
in appearance from those to which we
are now accustomed, may be thrown
about careless1y without the slightest
risk of ordinary injury.
With a tender thoughtfulness for
long-suffering housekeepers, the inven-
tor proposes especially the manufacture
of plates and dishes, cups and saucers,
and such like articles, either transpar-
ent or epamelIed. To have these no
longer liable to fracture is an important
amelioration in domestic economy; but
the toughened glass is likely to prove of
value in much wider spheres. 1t will
stand any amount of heat, and vessels
made of it can be placed on the fire
without danger. Consequently, its en-
ployment in chemical factories in the
place of lead, earthenware, platinum,
and silver, is a question of time only.
Glass pipes will probably replace those
of lead for water and for other pur-
poses, and thus diminish the chances of
iead-poisoning. Indeed, it is difficult
to anticipate the limits of the applica-
ton of this very remarkable discovery.
The one purpose for which at present
there seems some difficulty about en-
ploying the new material is for window
panes, for it cannot be cut by dia-
mond, though the glass may be cut
first and toughened afterwards. 1t can,
however, be engraved by the ordinary
methods, and cut on the wheel.
Essentially. the process consists In
heating glass nearly up to the softenIing
point, and then plunge it into a bath OF oil
or grease. But to bring this apparently
simple idea to perfection required the
patient investigation of seven long years;
The invention has been patented in all
European countries, and soon Will be
throughout the civilized world.

The Mountain Meadow Massacre.

It is announced by telegraph from
Utah that John ID. Lee has turned
states evidence, and will make a full
exposure of the Mountain Meadow mas
sacre. othe average reader this will not
be a startling statement, but to those
who remember the details of the mas
sacre it will promise the most tragic
sensation of this decade. In 1857 a
company of nearly one hundred and
fifty emigrspts passed through Utah for
California. In the Rocky range beyond
they were assailed by an enemy, sup
posed to be Indians, who fired upon
them from behind rocks and trees, and
compelled the emigrauts to barricade
themselves and wagons and throw up
slight entertainment. The assailants
were, in fact, Mormons seeking for
plumber, and after long and fruitless
attack they sought to effect by strategy
what force failed to accomplish. The
leader withdrew most of his men from
their ambuscade, changed,their disguise
for citizens clothes, made a detour, and
approached the camp from the east,
claiming to be relief party from Salt
Lake City. This plea of friendship
availed to allay suspicion, and the weary
emigrants piled their muskets into wag-
ons and accepted the escort. They were
never heard of again, except through
the vague reports Of few infants who
were spared. The weapons, wagons,
and other material were found scat
tered among the Mormons, and it has
for years been certain that at least 100
helpless and unoffending emigrants were
slaughtered on the meadow in cold
blood. Among the reputed Mormon
leaders were John d. Lee and W. Fl.
Dane. Lee has since renowned polyg-
amy and has been disfellowshipped by
the church. If Lee tells all he knows
there will be revelation of greed and
lust which would disgrace a tribe of
savages and will undoubtedly intensity
public prejudice against the Mormons.

unable to harvest the crop. The aver
age yield is very light, and is estimated
to be not less than four nor more than
seven centals to the acre sown. On
much of the land the failure is COM
plete; the grain did not get enough start
to cover the soil with green color, and
when; in the condition of a short, thin
blade, before reaching the shape of
straw, dried up. Those farmers who
have horses, wagons, and headers, can
harvest for GENITAL and half an acre,
while others, who must pay for every
thing, find it costs them in some cases
as much as three and a half. All the
fields coming up to the lowest estimated
average of four centals per acre will be
cut.
THE POTATO KING.
A rowing correspondent of the New
York Tribune, writing from Denver,
Col, says :" The most profitable veg
etable raised in Colorado is the potato.
It grows abundantly if properly culti-
waited, and yields a large profit. In
market they bring from two to four
cents pound at go pound to the bushel.
Six miles from Denver is a potato farm
which for years has been famous for
leagues around. I drove there one hot
day with friend in the hope of seeing
the owner, a queer old joker, who is
known by the name of Potato Clark.
He had gone to town, however, with a
load of potatoes. We looked over his
farm, but nothing could be seen but a
few tumble-down shanties, good many
potato heaps, and a good deal of black
land lying close against the Platte.
The only signs of life about the place
were the cook and the grasshoppers.
The cook said he had not been there
long, that he did not know how many
acres Potato Clark planted, nor how
many potatoes he had on hand now, nor
what was the price. He was intelligent
on only one subject Potato Clark en-
ployed from 40 to IS men during the
season. This the cook knew, for he
had to prepare the food for them.
From Mr.. Dodge and other sources,
subsequently learned that Mr.. CLARK
last year raised $4,000 bushels of po-
tatoes. Do not make any mistake in
the figures twenty-five thousand bush
els of potatoes Clark must be pecu-
Iiarly adapted to the cultivation of this
vegetable, for where others crops fail,
his is always large, and of superior
quality. The grasshoppers eat up the
vines of his neighbors, but they are
harmless on the vines of Potato Clark.
A wet season, a dry season-it is all the
same with him. He goes right on
raising potatoes.
