Trees BY The Roadside.

The growth of timber TO take the
place of our rapidly disappearing for
ests has led farmers in some sections
to set out trees While it may not be
convenient or desirable for all to adopt
this plan, every one can set out trees
by the roadside along his own land.
There are many advantages to be de-
rived from them, which can be seen at
once, to more than pay for the trouble.
They beautify the premises, and give
better appearance 10 the landscape.
And if the trees are maple, which is
one of the best and most easily raised,
when grown, they viii furnish large
WELD of maple sugar. If butternut or
walnut, the nuts are in a measure
compensation for the labor of setting
them ont. There is TO be in the fu-
ture such demand for wood that it
will not answer to cut down and not
replace in some way. In Baden, and
in other German States, as well as. in
some of the departments of France.
the law obliges person to plant tree
in tie place of every one cut down. In
this way, miles of lows of shade trees
line the roads, making pleasant, shad-
ed walks through all the towns and
villages. 1t is a fact not generally
known, that trees increase their wood
making capacity in about the same ra-
ito as tie square OF the number of
years indicating their age. The third
year they make nine times, the fifth
year twenty-five times, and tenth year
one hundred times the amount of
wood they make the first year. The
trees grow more rapidly as they grow
older, and we cannot afford to cut
them down until they get their growth
Some towns in this section have al
ready formed associations for beauti-
ing their localities by planning parks
and setting out trees by the roadside
If this is not done, individuals can,
with little trouble, and without ex-
pense, procure trees and set them out
in front of their own lands, aud slim
ulaie their neighbors to do the same,
so as 10 make uniform and continu-
GUS line of shade trees along the road
side.

The Best Butter.

1t is averred that the best butter
made in the United States is made
near Philadelphia. The same degree
of neatness and care observed in other
localities where the cows are supplied
with good grass would doubtless give
the same results. The milking is done
quietly and rapidly, the same milk
maid always attending the same cow.
The spring-house is usually of stone;
the floor covered with running water
keeps it cool and free from odors.
Deep tin pans, painted on the outside,
with balls for handling, are filled to
the depth of three inches, placed on
an oak floor, surrounded with cool,
clear water, of a temperature of So
degrees. The cream is taken off in
twenty-four hours, kept in two YES
sells, holding two gallons, and stirred
whenever new skimming is added.
A barrel churn is used, the churning
lasting an hour, when little cold
milk is added to cause the butter to
gather. The butter-milk drawn of,
ice-cold water is added twice, a few
turns of the churn given each time,
and the last water is scarcely colored
with milk. A gentle rocking of the
churn soou collects the butter, which
is left two hours to drain off the re-
naming water through a small hole
made for the purpose. The butter is
then worked by corrugated wooden
roller, revolving on shaft supported
over the center Of the table, which al
so revolves under the roller. The
roller does not quite touch the table,
SO there is no crushing of the particles
but separation which permits the
water or milk TO flow away. A cloth
wrung dry in cold spring water is re-
peatedly pressed upon the butter, I'M
til not particle of moisture is seen
upon il as it comes from the cloth.
This is called "wiping" the butter.
An ounce of salt TO three pounds Of
butter is then thoroughly worked in.
1t is then deposited in trays and set in
water to harden. The next morning
it Is wrapped in wet cloths, put in a
tin case upon wooden shelves, with
two compartments of pounded ice to
keep it cool, surrounded BY cedar
tub, sent to market, and sold at fancy
prices Western Farmers almanac.

Celery is product not in general
use by farmers. A correspondent OF
the Country Gentleman says "that the
reason doubtless is that the millions
who could most easily have it, have
never learned TO like il. As with to-
matoes and some other vegetables, the
taste of celery has to be cultivated
but when once acquired it is never
lost and no delicacy of the garden is
more highly appreciated" 1t is not a
difficult article to raise and it COM
mands good price in market. Eaten
with fowls roasted or boiled, il is q
most appetizing coBdiment.

Twin-Bsaring Cattle

We deem it entirely practicable,

breed of COWS producing twins OF
even triplets yearly. Inca Textbook

years gave birth to twenty-five calves,

Wine in Doniphan.

MessTs. Bremen & Bilimek, of Dom
iphan, are gaining trade that bids
fair to rival some of the wine produc-
ing institutions of California. Their
shipment record shows an average of
nearly enc hundred gallons daily; aud
as they are now prepared TO furnish
sweet wines at twenty-five cents a
gallon cheaper than it can be brought
from the Golden State, there is fair
chance for competition with Califor-
mia grades.

Silver in considerable QUAINT

Silver, in considerable quantities,
is now one to two per cent below
greenbacks. Lhe reason is obvious.
1t Is not because the paper on which
the greenback obligation is printed
is intrinsically worth more than the
silver in the dollar; nor is it because
the Government is in good faith
bound to pay full dollar in paper
or gold any more than in silver.
But it is simply because the greens
back is by law made a legal tender,
and the silver coin is not. 1t is,
then, unquestionable that all that is
required to bring the silver up 10
par with greenbacks is for the Cow
eminent to make it, too, a legal. 1t
is also an evident proposition that it
can as honorably and consistently
make silver legal tender (even if
the constitution does not require it
to do so) as it can paper.
The spectators and money chang
ers of New York and other northern
cities, taking advantage of this small
depreciation of silver, are purchas'
ing it in largo quantities and sends
ing it to the South and West to pay
for cotton, wheat, pork. etc. These
are the men who are so clamorouS
against the reconciliation of silver.
They make twenty dollars on the
thousand by buying silver for this
purpose with greenbacks. They
thus cry out to the Government
against the dishonesty of remoneti-
zing silver, and then coolly turn
and fleece Southern and Western
producers by paying them in silver
instead of greenbacks. This thing
ought to be stopped, and the way
to stop it at once and effectually is
to pass the silver bill now before
Congress. Silver would then be
worth fully as much as greenbacks,
because it would suffice to pay fer
every thing that greenbacks will
paw for-and then the sharpers,
who with one hand present TO Con~
gress petition against remonetiz.,
ing silver as dishonest, and with
the other pay out at par silver
which they have bought at dis
count because of it's decentralization,
will find their nefarious game
blocked.

The Cost Of Counting in F'ayas.

Washin gtc n, Jan. 1S-The ANIMAL
report of the Secretary OF the Sens
ate shows that The investigations
made last winter in regard to the
Presidential election in South Caro-
lima, Louisiana, North Carolina,
Florida and O:egon, cost the Gov~
ernment sos PIP.
The amount mentioned-$95,2 l2-
is simply what it cost to throw out
tile good Democratic votes and sub
stitute fraudulent Republican ones.
Nearly one hundred thousand dOl>
lars to pay for the work of cheating
the people out of their choice for
President! Nearly one hundred
tho lsand dollars to pay for putting
an usurper in the place that right
fully belonged to another man
Nearly one hundred thousand dol
lars to defeat the right and make
wrong triumphant. Nearly one
hundred thousand dollars to pay
for the base work of stealing anoth
er mans place and emoluments.
But what makes this thing still
worse. is the fact that the people
who were chected aud outraged must
stand their proportion of this ex-
pense the same as those who were
IN favor of the rascally business.
The Tilden men. the supporters OF
the legally elected President, must
take out their purses the same as
he Hayes men, who perpetrated
the infamous crime. Not only were
the Tilden men cheated, defrauded,
outraged, but they were robbed
likewise by being compelled to pay
the expense of committing an act
that they condemned as wicked and
dastardly. The poor, hard working
Democrat who voted for and helped
20 elect TiIden is compelled to pay
Il por ton of the expense incurred
by the Internal scoundrles who con-
spired to count him out. Such was
one of the results of the stupendous
scheme by which the will of the
people was set aside and made OF
no effect.
The day will yet come when this
great wrong will be avenged and
when the men concerned in the com
mission of it will call for hiding
places to shield them from the wrath
of an indignant and vengeful people
1t is comforting to know, too, that
nothing of the kind will ever again
be attempted in this country. So
completely have the people seen
the inside of the plan by which
Hayes was counted in, and SO
thoroughly are they now convinced
that Mr.. Tilden was legally elected,
and SO Disguised and Mortified are
they over the Eight to Seven de-
cision by which the latter was de-
prived of his legal rights and the
American people put in the attitude
of mere puppets in the hands of the
ruling power, that such a thing
can never be attempted with safety
again. But this does not take away
the sting of the great crime and
wrong, and it is better, perhaps,
that it should continue to rankle in
the bosoms of the people to the
end that all future villains may
trembIe at the Thought of the con
sequences that will attend any at
tempt to violate the sanctity of the
