Protecting Plants.

There are few plants, and those of
the hardest character, that 10 not need
or at least feel benefited by slight pro
lection of some kind. Bearing in mind
that we are not trying to keep out the
frost, but merely to break the force of
the strong, cold, drying winds, the ma
ture of this protection becomes mat
ter of some Importance. 1t not unfre-
quently happens that the very means
adopted to preserve plants becomes the
agent that induces death, so that the
sooner we fully understand why we
protect at all, or, in other words, what
we are protecting against, the more
likely will our work prove useful.
Coarse, light material Of any kind is
suitable for covering the surface of the
soil around the plant-such as long ma
nure, coarse grass, leaves, spent tam
bark, etc. For protecting the tops, the
more open the. covering, provided the
wind-break is effected, the better for
the plants. The best results are fire.
quently secured by simply placing tall,
stiff weeds around the tops, tying them
loosely together. After all, nothing is
better than twiggy evergreen boughs,
as they permit free passage of air, and
yet prevent the high, cold winds from
drying the life out of the plant beneath.
Straw tied tightly around is the worst
possible material that can be used for
the purpose, as a free circulation is
thus prevented, and the young shoots,
if not the whole top, is likely to decay.
1t looks well, to be sure, but appear
ance in this case is of very minor con-
sequence. Many of our so-called hardy
shrubs are liable to lose their flower
buds during winter, Notwithstanding
the shoots are rarely injured, and this
class should receive slight covering
for instance, the rhododendrons and
azaleas, which form such buds in the
previous autumn. Plants standing on
the south side of buildings in the full
sun require a slight protection from its
rays during the winter months, as the
high temperature of the day often re-
cieves sudden reverse at night, and
thus the plant, even if usually hardy,
becomes injured. This work must be
done before the ground freezes.-N. Y.

The death is announced at Heidel.

The death is announced at Heidel-
berg of DR.. Adolf Sander, who was
formerly in large practice as physician
in Eiberfeld and its neighborhoOd. One
morning in 1874, while dressing, he
contrived in some way to get a shirt
button between his teeth. Unconscious
ly, while laughing, the button slipped
into the back of his mouth, and thence
into the larynx. All the exertions of
his surgical friends to remove it were
vain. It was ascertained that it sank
into the right lung, which soon became
irritated. Splitting of blood ensued,
and he was himself looking forward to
death as not very remote. He removed
to villa he had near Frankfortlon-the-
Main to pass his last days in quiet
Here he was surprised by violent fit of
coughing, accompanied by splitting of
blood, in a paroxysm of which the but
ton was elected. His health rapidly
improved, and in a few months, regard
ing himself as quite cured, he resumed
his professional work, and endeavored
to gather up the threads of his former
practice. But last year unmistakable
symptoms manifested themselves that
the lung had not fully recovered from
the presence in its substance of a for
eign body for several months. He
spent the winter in the south of Eu-
rope, but returned almost worse than
ne went. He gradually wasted away
and sank few days ago.-Londo,s

A SHORT time ago General John
Gibbon made the assertion that one
hundred bushels of wheat had been
raised on an acre Of ground in the Ter
ritory of Montana. The statement hav-
ing been received with incrcdulity, he
wrote to the President of the First Nation
al Bank in Helena for proof. In reply he
received the certificate of the Presi-
dent and Secretary of the Territorial
Fair AssOclat!onthat one James l.. Ray,
of Lewis and Clark Counties, was award
ed first premium for the best acre of
wheat, being one hundred and two BUSH
els to the acre. This is believed to be
the largest yield of wheat OH record.

THE IRON PEN

made from Fettcr Of Bonnivart,, the pri
'ner " Chili"u; the Handle of Wood from tn
'rigatc constitution" and bound with
'i'clct ct Gold, inset with three preciou
tones from Siberia, Ccylon aud Maine.l
lrHouGur this Pen would arise
FROM the caSket where it lies
OF itself would arise, and write
ply thanks and my surprise.
When you gave it me under the pines,
l dreamed these gems from the mines
Of Siberia, CcylOn and Maine
Would gliMmer rs thoughts in the lines;
That this iron link from the chain
OF Ronnivard might retain
Some verse of the Poet who sang
Of the prisoner and his pains
That this wood from the frigatc's mast
Might write me II rhyme ut last,
As it used to write on the sky
The sony of the sea and the blast.
Hut motionless us wait,
Like Bishop lying in state
Lies the Pen, with its inter of gold,
And its jewels inviolatc.
Then must speak, and say
That the light of that summer day
In the garden under the pines
Shall not fade and pass away.
l shall see you standing there,
Caressed by the fragrant air,
With the shadow on your face,
And the sunshine in your hair.
shall hear the sweet low tone
Of voice before unknown,
Saying. This is from me to you
From me, and to you alone"
And in words not idle and vain
I shah answer. and thank you again
Fer the gift, and the grace of the gift,
Oh beautiful Helen of Maine.
And forever this gift will be
As a blessing from you to me,
As drop of the dew of your youth
On the leaves of an aged tree.

The attention of farmers and dairy
inen is particularly called to the notices
Of the Gilt Edge Butter Maker which
are appearing in this paper from time
to time. It is confidently claimed that
the use of this preparation increases the
amount of butter from six to ten per
cent; that the flavor is better and q
beautiful color secured; that the time
consumed iii chqrnitg Is greatly short
ened, and that the keeping qualities are
much improved-the natural conse:
quence of all which being that butter
made by it is always in demand at q
handsome advance on the price of the
ordinary article. Judging from the tes-
timonials given, these claims are not
extravaganza; and the "Gilt- Edge"
should prove VALUABLE acquisition to
every butter maker.

tie receive the latter articles in
the reverse order. They are re-
served till the supply is exhausted.
Now, any feeder of stock would object
to having his food limited to single
article, however excellent it might be,
till he had eaten all that the house con-
tanned of 1t. He would declare that his
health as well as comfort required a
change Of food every day, if not every
meal. Now, the statement made by
the man would be made by his beast il
it could speak. The animal, no less
than the man. shows when it is at liber-
ty that it requires change of food at
least every day. The COW in the finest
pasture of blue grass or clover will
leave them to get bite at old hay, and
will often lay hold of a wisp of straw.
1t will also eat the top of weeds and
bushes in going to and from the pas
ture. This action on the part of the
COW shows that her appetite is not salts
fed with one kind of food, and appetite
is but the expression of real want Of
nature that is as strong in winter as in
summer. 1t is evident that we shall
never reach the highest point in the
feeding of animals till each is supplied
with the kind of food it desires. The
time will undoubtedly come when appe-
Tiers and stimulants will be given to
cattle in delicate condition, when con-
diments will be as common in the stable
as they are in the house. Already very
favorable results are reported from the
feeding of horse-radish, onions, mus
tard and celery to animals and fowls
