THE ALIEN LAW.

The laSE legislature passed an act on
the eleventh Of MsrCh, 1875, "to enable
aliens to acquire, hold and dispose OF
property, real and personal" Since its
passage company from England, with
whose operations am familiar, has pur-
chased in the county of Marion, over
one hundred thousand acres OF land, for
which, ,snd for the improvements made,
the company had expenditure in cash
up to the last of July, SS3l.146. 1t has
An its employ three hundred men, and
is paying out an average Of $50, 600 q
month. The passage of this bill alone,
backed by the agricultural bureau, hiss
attracted more capital from abroad than
all the legislation for twenty years past.
THE BUREAU OF AGRICULTURE AND
MINES.
The creation of this bureau has been
productive Of great results to the State
through the influence Of the publications
Of its able superintendent. Wi hin two
years past more than one million of dol
lars has been invested in the mineral
lands Of the State, by parties who pro-
pose to settle their acres With an intel
ligeDt population frem the old States OF
America and Europe-inteiligent srti
sans and laboTers, who will utilize the
hidden wealth of our mountains. Oar
resources have been advertised eli over
this continent, and in many parts OF the
old world. Any man who has been
looking for a farm, for q water power
for a mine of coal, iron or copper, has
had his demand for information sup
oiled from this bureau, and l state 1t
as a fact, the climate, soil and produc.
tions of the State of Tennessee have been
more generally and more intelligently
advertised than that Of all the States of
the south combined,

The Acubafalla Apple.

At the last exhibition of the United States
Horticultural Society, held in Boston, some
three years since, Messrs. Smith & Powell, of
Syracuse, n. Y, exhibited the first fruit of
this variety as Crab" II was large
and handsome apple and, as we had an OPP
portunty to ascertain, of excellent quality.
Mr.. Powell was present with his specimens,
and, as he assured us of the truth Of the state.
ment Of the crab origin of the tree, and Of
its perfect hardness, we ordered some Of
them. Subsequently, corresponding with
DIR. p. A. Jewell, of Lake City, Minnesota
on hardy apples, we mentioned the high quail
lily of the fruit of Acubafalia; and he in
return stated that he had given it thor
ough trial, and had lost every tree by winter
killing. As our own experience has since
confirmed this, we think it our duty 10 make
it known, as large quantities Of the Acuba-
falia have been sold in Vermont as crabs,
with the assurance Of their perfect hardness.
We see no marks of the crab about either
tree or fruit, and the tree is rather excep-
tionally tender even for common apple.
As the tree peddlars do not always deliver
trees true to name, and as some of our read.
ers may be DESTROYS to know whether they
really have the Acubafalia, we will mention
a distinctive mark by which the tree may
always be known when in leaf As the
name indicates, the leaves are more or less
spotted with white spots, the size Of pins
head, or larger This will serve to distin-
guish them from any other sort When
extra hardness is a requisite, the Acubaia-
liza is entirely worthless.

The story the Horses Told.

Two men once lived near each other
whose houses were almost alike. But they
were very different men. Each owned
splendid black horse, which he loved and
petted, and we will let the horses tell what
kind Of men their owners We're.
90" you say, horses cant talk, and so Of
course they can't tell stories :"
Well, wait and see if they cannot.
One cold winter these two men were very
in, and at nearly the same time they died.
Now there was little white church a
mile away from their homes and tavern
where men drank and gambled and swore,
little farther off in the same direction
Well, Sunday came, and no one went out
to harness the horses, and they stood all day
in their stalls.
They were both used 10 going out on Sun
dav evening. In some way they now got
loose, and what do you think they did ?
One horse walked on to the little white
church. went into his place in the horseshed
and stood there all church time, waiting for
his master to come out.
When meeting was out, Il man went to the
shed for his horse and there he saw old
Black turning his head round to see if his
master was not coming too. And he did
not 90 away till a boy was told to get on his
back and ride him home.
"Ah" said an old man, that horse knew
| that his masters heart was in the prayer
meeting"
The other horse made his way to the tav-
en, and stood 10y the post where he had so
often stood cold nights waiting for his mas
ter. lie heard the glasses ring, aud the men
| laugh and shout, and soon he heard angry
tones, when they began to quarrel.
But there he waited. This nine O'Clock
bell rang in the village and all the people
went home from church, and by-and-by the
lights went out, one by one, from the win
dows
Poor Rover lie had no one there t.
blanket him, and he stood shiyering in tn,
cold till midnight, sure that his master
would soon come out and drive him home t.
his warm stable.
When the men came out at last one cried
as if the very sight was a rebuke to him
"Why, here is Rover waiting for his master
who is dead at home "
Now did not Black tell as plainly as word
could have done it, that his owner loved an'
served God ? Did not Rover tell that hi
master despised Gods house and His people
and spent his Sabbath with drunkards AM
gamblers
Even the dumb animals bear witness T.
the lives men lead and will tell of them whel
they are gone Wdichmdn.

belief that he is more than half right in his

corded in detail is to all intents and pur-
poses an experiment station. much doubt,
however the propriety of designating a
chemical laboratory devoted to the analysis
of fertilizers an experiment station An
analysis is not in any sense an experiment.
But we need not quarrel over terms If we
are able to comprehend their intent. IL mat
tiers but little where an experiment or an
analysis is conducted, provided it is inLelli-
gently and honestly conducted The great
difficulty with the great mass OF expert
ments is that they are not well formulated
to begin with, and that important elements
are overlooked either in the experiment itself
or In the recordingo of it for others use. On
this account not one in thousand OF the
experiments reported in the newspapers aud
elsewhere is worth the paper ON which IT is

The Philisiines be Upon Thee.

The coming season is likely to be signal
lied in Vermont by the general advent OF
the Colorado potato bug in our fields, and in
many portions OF the state by armies of the
forest caterpillar in our woodlands and or
chards. An exchange says "The forest
trees in Winthrop Maine, are found to con-
tain immense numbers Of caterpillar eggs
upon their branches this season. Unless
some proyidential destruction oyertakes them
there will probably be an abundance Of
caterpillars next year in that section"
Inspection will reveal the same fact in
many parts Of Vermont For some time
these forest worms have been steadily in.
creasng, and along the line of the Misssquoi
x Clyde River railroad Cumming from New
port to Richford) they were so abundant in
places last summer, that their crushed bodies
upon the rails were an actual obstacle to the
progress of trains. In Addison and Chit
tenden counties, for several years, they have
been devastating the woodlands, until many
acres have been so injured as TO be in a
dying state From the forests they swarm
into the orchards, and do equal damage there,
If not watched.
The forest caterpillar is closely allied to
the common web worm, or tent caterpillar of
our orchards, but spins no tent, and is of a
more migratory habit. Fortunately, they
have also habit of gathering in groups or
masses upon the trunks or larger branches
of the trees, during the night whence in the
morning, before the sun warns them, they
may be brushed into pan or pail, and de-
stroyed. In this way an orchard may be en-
tirely protected, even when they are thick
in the adjoining forests. But they must be
looked after promptly, as they raid in such
heavy columns that one or two days of I'M
checked ravages will enable them TO take
every leaf from an apple tree of considera-
BILE size.
The general plan in the West, with thu
potato bug, is to fight him with Paris green
Pigment made from arsenic and in com
mon use by the painters. This, well mixed
with four or plaster, one pound to twenty
five, and silted thinly upon the vines when
wet, will kill the depredators. But if, as We
understand, the hens and chickens eat these
bugs, it may be that we shall find our poul
try kicking the bucket about the same time
that the bug drops. The hellebore (Indiar
poke) used so generally to kill curran
worms, is said also TO be fatal to the Colorad,
gentleman, and if so, would be better sine
they viii be killed by dose too small T.
hurt chicken. The best way to appl,
this (and it would be safe way with tn
Paris green mixture) is to thoroughly sti
two tablespoonfuls of the powdered root il
pail of water, and apply IL upon the plant
with sprinklingpot It must be remem
bered that the green is deadly poison il
very small quantities, while the poke, thong
poisonous, can be handled with perfec
safety so far as life is concerned. But
