He recently returned to the United
States in the United States steamer
Yantic from the Asiatic feet, and on
being dispatched, proceeded to his
home at Easton, Pa. When the
marines under Colonel Haywood
arrived at Reading they were encamp-

was astonished at discovering Lieuten-

on the call for troops, knowing that he
would not be called on from the Navy
Department for at least a couple of
months.

Reading the Newspaper.

Brother Wetherill of the Cutirator, took
it hard, and thought we were saucing "
him, when we called him a pedagogue,
which is only Greek for schoo-master-a
profession in which he has spent much Of
his life, and which we have no doubt he
adorned, as he does his present trade of ag-
ricultural editor. In recent issue of his
paper he gives the following sensible direc-
tions for reading the newspaper to profit,
which every young man, and especially every
young farmer could not do better than to
follow "The way we formerly instructed
young men to read the newspaper is the one
that we would recommend them to practice
now. Presuming you are a regular sub
scriber to some frst-class, ably-edited daily
paper, when you sit down in the evening to
read, have on your reading table, or near at
hand, good modern atlas, Worcester's or
Webster's large dictionary with a good
biographical dictionary for reference, and
whenever place is referred to whose geo.
graphical location is not known, or word
whose meaning or pronunciation is not ap
pretended, or some noted man spoken of
concerning whom and his whereabouts you
would know more, Immediately turn to YOU
books for reference, that you may learn
what you would know and thus may dc
without the living teacher. Any young mar
who adopts this method of reading at th'
age of twenty or younger, and practices i
until he is a sexagenerian, cannot fail of be
ing a man of good information of the world
doings relative to business, politics ant
| religion"

north and east as well as on the south and
east sides of the stem. It is evidently caused
by the expansion of the watery sap OF the
cambium, on being converted into ice. It's
never seen on trees from which the leaves
have nearly all fallen, and this is because
the leaves do not fall until the flow of sap
has subsidized, and the new wood begins to
harden and dry to the condition of the win
ter sap. Although we do not often see the
hurt until il becomes very obvious in the
spring, by gaping open, it takes place only in
the fall, at the time of the first keen frosts,
and as already said, only late growers which
retain their leaves late, are liable to it. The
apple (of such sorts) shows 1t most fire.
quently probably because the bark is not
very tough or elastic. The cherry is often
severe sufferer. II the damage occurs as
early as in October we often find in the
spring that it has been repaired by natural
emulation of prepared sap, so that the ex-
posed wood has been sealed over by very
thin brown film of cambium tissue, which,
although not llnlSntu slnoOoh anu N"'hiShVN
like the completed bark, yet answers its
purpose of protection to the wood against
losing moisture from within, or receiving
too much moisture from without. 1t is like
the thin and scarcely perceptible film which
oozes from wounds made by pruning in Sep
TENDER, or early in October, and which pre-
vents the face of the cut from cracking in
| assures, such as are seen on wounds made
by winter pruning if left long unprotected
by waterproof coating. All that is neces
sary to save trees affected by the splitting
and separating of the bark, is to look fol

and cover with earth, or with a strip of wax

Bursting the Bark.


The following from the pen of John J.
Thomas, genealogical editor of the Country
Gentleman, upon subject very interesting
to all orchardsts, is entirely in accordance
with our own observation and experience,
except that we do not find that trees which
shed their leaves late are any more subject
to this casualty than others. With us the
Tetofsky, which often drops nearly all its
leaves before frost, suffers from bark-burst-
ing as badly as any variety, and some of the
early crabs are the same way
at is not uncommon in the spring to find
free-growing young nursery trees seriously
injured by splitting and separating of the
bark near the ground. The slit will be two
to four inches long, and the bark is often
loosened to the extent of the circumference
As the lips of loosened bark dry, they cape
open more and more, leaving the surface Of
the wood beneath fully exposed to dry wind
wet and decay. This injury is usually, but
mistakenly, spoken of as sun scald AN
effect of hot sunshine suddenly thawing a
frozen stem. But II is often seen in the

Shaking Hands.

hand with me to-day" writes half-grown
boy from country parish where there has
lately been a change of pastors We can
see much of hope and promise in the future
relations of that Misunderstanding pastor and
his appreciative young parishioner. The
friendly grasp of that promptly extended
hand may hold until the footsteps of the lad
are firmly established in the way of peace
and safety. This timely notice, taken of
one who modestly covets the new pastors
respect, may be the best sermon application
the young minister has ever made, BY way
of admonition to those who are set to ad-
monish others, we say to every Christian
minister especially lose no instant of time
in making friendly advances toward the
young. Get hold of their hands, and win
their hearts. 1t is great gain in power to
any pastor when the boys and girls pro
nounce him "v very nice minister" 1t is
no wonder that John b. Cough has tender
memories of the man who laid his hand in

most all of those in America come from Ger
many. Alta place called Oberstein there are
large agate quarries and mills, aud the frag-
ments of stone are made into marbles. This
is the way it is done; The agate chips are
hammered till nearly round, and then are
finished upon large grindstones. The work
men must be very skilful to make them per
fectly round, In Saxony there are mills
where marbles are made in this way The
stone is broken into small blocks which are
shoveled into the hopper one hundred or one
hundred and fifty at time. The mill has
for its bed astone cut into grooves in circles,
one outside of another. Above is a "run-
ner " of hard wood with smooth surface on
the lower side which touches the blocks
The grooves of the bed stone are made wet,
the runner revolves, and in about fifteen
minutes the marbles are finished One of
these mills will turn out twenty thousand
marbles week. Whew That must be

many of whom have been getting up to their
eyes in debt at high rates of interest, in years
past, are now becoming desperate over the
mercless foreclosures that are threatened

counties, resolved, the other day, "That we
are willing to pay our creditors every dollar
we owe them as fast as lies in our power
but to have our property taken from us,
leaving our families destitute, charge upon

of heaven and our fellow-men we will resist
all further attempts to beggar ourselves and

BuCKW HE AT.

+. S. Hubbard writes as follows -" Buck
wheat flour is quoted in the great markets at
from four dollars to four dollars and fifty
cents per hundred weight or at about the
price of the best wheat -four Could not
the grain be profitably raised at such price ?
Perhaps it may pay as well as other grain,
but this depends on many circumstances.
First, what is its yield per acre This ques-
ton is hard to answer. We used to get from
twenty to twenty-five bushels, but lately far
less, and perhaps only from ten to fifteen bush
els. This will depend much on the way the
ground is prepared If the ground is poor,
the crop will be also. If the ground is rich
in vegetable mold, has sulphate of lime-salt,
or the lime mixture of Professor Mapes or
something similar to it, and if there are bees
enough to fertiize the flowers, there may be
expected to be remunerative crop. Sec
ond, on the quantity of -four from bushel.
How much that may be, is not now known.
But we may say in general, this grain is so
much needed, is disable in so many ways, that
no farming community can AFFORD 10 DE Wlth-
out it. 1t is often said that it does not fill,
that it blights; that India wheat is surer
and more productive; and these things may
be true, but buckwheat is far the most pala.
liable, and where pains are taken | have
never known an instance of failure in yield
Besides the ground can be prepared after
potatoes are planted, or about the middle OF
June-and have raised good crop when
not sown until the 9TH of July-but that is
too late. Still it shows that after other crops
are in, day or two of the farmers time aud
force may be so spent as to give him twenty
or thirty bushels of most excellent grain
The gridde cakes made of its flour are very
cheap and delicious, a luxury which few who
have eaten will willingly forego and they
seem to be healthy and hearty, as well al
| Dalatable."

nearly one bushel. Last spring | planted
about three pecks on twenty-one and one
half rods of land and forty-fve bushels was
the product, and there is not their equal for
potatoes The land did not consider rich,
but put into the hill about one-half shovel
full of green manure from my shed, under
