i PROPER TIME TO FELL TIMBER.

A correspondent of an exchange says: "In
a recent number of your paper, ] note the re-
mark. Authorities are disagreed in regard
to the season of the year at which timber
should be cut with view of its durability.
Such questions are to be decided only by
carefully acquired experience, and thus it
may not be improper to state the results Of
my own observations during protracted life.
time and constant application to practical
pursuits. ".. .....
1.-THE most appropriate month for Telling
timber appears to be July. Cut the tree
down, let it lay on the ground just as it is
not touching leaves or branches, and the
juice will soon be evaporated by the July sun
Even bean stick cut in July will last three
times longer than one cut in the spring.
Late in the fall or in the winter time, you
may chop the tree into pieces and Use it as
you please, provided, however, that pieces Of
timber to be put in or laid on the ground are
thoroughly seasoned by having been exposed
to the effect Of the air and sun for whole
year. August is nearly as good as July, and
thence there is an observable decrease of ad.
vantage in the following months, till the end
of the year, from which time the decrease is
remarkably rapid, reaching its lowest point
in May, when the sap wood is most gorged
with juice. ... p. ... r.. -.
1T is known fact that foated wood is of
great durability. Smaller pieces may be
made very durable by boiling them in water,
whereby the vegetable albumen, the princi-
pie cause of the rot, is removed. Larger piec.
es may be kept for while, say several months,
in running water. After the most considera.
BILE portion of the albumen contained in the
sap has been {in May and June) expended in
the formation of the foliage, young shoots and
blossoms, the tree is 6ttest for being felled.
From January the storing up Of albumen by
the action of the rootets begins anew. From
July to the end of the growing time, the
juice is chiefly prepared by the leaves out Of
the carbonic acid of the atmosphere and is
far less subject to decomposition. 49,.
"Dry timber does not rot in the ground be-
fore having again attracted moisture if this
can be effectually prevented, or if the timber
be constantly kept surrounded by water,
there will be no decaying." 49,. .... .-.

CAN'T SLEEP.-It is probable that many
who cannot sleep during the fore part of the
night, are themselves the cause of it. They
reverse the order of nature by sitting up
late, till they think they can sleep if they go
to bed, and then sleeping late in the morning.
thus turning night into day and day into
night.
If such persons cannot break off this habit
of untimely wakefulness and untimely sleep
mess by early retiring, let them try the ef-
feet off extra early rising. Let them rise at
least two hours earlier than usual, and if this
does not do, then add an additional hour or
more, and perseverance month or more IN
this way, and to shake off their morning drow-
sness, engage in some active employ ment.
Meantime, let them retire at early bedtime.
Persevered in long enough, this course, l
think, would have the desired effect in the
case supposedly. s. g., in Indiana Farmer,
bas" Calves or sleeps lights and livers,
which can always be obtained in the market
house for few cents apiece, are valuable to
feed to fowls, for two reasons. They are de-
void of bones, and they closely resemble in
sect diet. We advise the cooking of any sort
of meat food, always. These "harselets'' (or
those of swine) should be boiled, seasoned
with salt and pepper, and fed, say twice a
week, to fowls, where they can be had handl'
ly, For laying hens, when confined in W in

feeding is excellent, For young stock, where
the chickens are confined to small runs or
close cages, this meat, chopped up and mixed
three times week with their soft food, Will
help the younglings, wonderfully.

ADVANTAGES OF EDUCATIoN.--Whe hen
schools were established in the South for the
education of the negro, they were eagerly
patronized by the colored folks of all ages.
Coy maidens of thirty and bashful lads equal
ly old, gayly trudged to school with diminu.
tive primers in their hands, while the small
fry swarmed in the school houses, and were
enthusiastic on the education question. Of
Pete, the subject of our anecdote, it might be
truly written that "ne'er did pencil trace a
whittier eye or Blaeker face" His former mas
ter, DR.. H, had taken great pains with
him, instructing him daily in reading and
writing. In the fall Pete was 70 60 to school,
and anxiously looked forward to it. This
was in 1869, when the sun was to be in total
eclipse in August. There were all sorts Of
rumors among the colored people about ca:
lamities which would happen at the time Of
this phenomenon. A few days before it oc-
Cured, the following conversation took place
between Pete and friend:
"Pete, did you know dar was gwine to be
Eclipse of de sun next week ?" ...
"Yes," said Pete, II heard de folks talkin'
bout it."
"Pete, I hear dat awful things is gwine to
happen when it comes. Dey say dat the
world is gwine to come to an end"
Curling his lips in scorn, and fixing bis big
white eyes on him, Pete answered, with con-
tempt, "Go way, niggah. Don't you know
dat school opens in September? How, den,
can de world come to an end in August p

HoRsEsHoE1NG IN VARIOUS COUNTRIES
In the United States, England and France,
the horseshoer simply takes the horses foot
on his knee to shoe it. This depends to some
extent on the nature of the breed of horses,
which in some countries are, on the average,
more shy, and most of them could not we'll
be treated in this way. Thus in the Neither
lands. and in part of Germany, the horse is
placed in a narrow stall, where short chains
are attached to the uprights; then one Of
these chains is placed around the horses an
kle and the foot lifted and tied up to con-
venient height for the smith to do his work.
In Turkey and Servia the horses head is held
by one man, another holds the leg Oh his arm,
while the third operates on the foot. In
Russia the horse is placed in square cage
made of rough wooden planks, and is strap
ped around the belly with wide leather straps
attached to cross bars of the frame work
his head is also safely tied, the foot is fixed
to stake in the ground and held by an assis-
tant, while the smith nails on the shoe. 1

FREcKLEs.-It is quite common for young
people to feel mortified in the possession Of
freckles, and to try lemon juice, bora1 and
other things to get rid of the trouble. Those
who 90 much in the fresh air and sun and
are inclined to freckle, might about as we'll
make up their minds to keep their freckles.
The best remedy yet discovered is to be so
pleasant, unsel6sh, good,natured, and jolly,
that everybody will be glad to see your
freckles come into the room. Little mortified
maidens, try that.

paper explains that among those who re-

JUST now Buffalo is enjoying an inn

in 1874, which year stands next on the
highest list. The aggregate arrivals Of all
kinds Of grain since the opening of navi-
cation reach Ie,745,692 bushels, against
5,52O.S70 last year, and 1O,O43,5l2 bushels
in 1876. The increase is heavy in both
corn and wheat. The movement Of -four
by lake is also large, being over double

have been 'correspondingly heavy, stand,
ing at 5000 bushels this year to only
3,7ss,ooo. in 1877, and 4,5sO,Ooo in 1875.
The prospect at present is that the grain
movement will be large all the season; but
the excess of available tonnage is SO great
on the lakes that freights are likely to rule
very low,
