Zinc Labels for Trees.

A correspondent of the Rural New
Yorker says: =" Unless frequently exam-
ed, the wire used to fasten labels to trees
is apt to iDjure the tree by cutting into
and sometimes girdling it. An improve
nnent on this is to make and attach the
labels as follows: A convenient size is
five or six inches long, an inch wide at
one end, tapering to a point at the other.
Write the name, date of setting, and
anything else of special interest in con-
nection with the specimen, on the widest
end with common lead pencil, and
wind the pointed end round limb
AS fast as the tree grows the flexible
zinc unwinds without iDjuring the tree.

with the zinc and soon become indelli-

A New Dye.

A Maryland farmer is making mon
ey out Of an enormous crop Of potato
bugs. being opposed to the use of paris
green he rugged up a large wash boiler
in his field, and hired six men, collected
the bugs and soused them in boiling
water. About two gallons were collect
ed, and by accident piece of old sheep
skin leather, used in lining shoes, went
into the mess. After the cooking had
been going ON half an hour he was
astonished to find that the leather had
changed its color TO the richest dark
crimson. This arousing his curiosity,
he inserted other materials, and ascer-
tanned another popularity of the liquid.
The material placed in is first changed
to dark brown, then greenish hue,
then pure yellow, then light blue, chang
ing to dark blue then light red, termi-
mating in the brilliant scarlet, which
was the permanent color. Consequence:
formation of a stock company to make
dyeing mixtures from potato bugs.

HOUSE, FARM AND GARDEN.
FIGURING Wheat.


A correspondent OF the Practical Far
nler says that farmers who do not pur-
chase their family -four will find 1t to be
a very good plan to get their years grist
floured at one time. This has been my
practice for several years, and could
not be induced to so back to the old
way. There is a saving of several days
time In going to mill, better grade of
-four is made, and then the flour i'm
proves with age ifproperly kept. gem
orally wait until about the first of No
vember, and then go to mill and put In
the day, seeing the grist ground and
sacking the -four myself. Have your
miller make an extra good grade Of
"middlings" for you, and sack that
also. 1t will make an excellent addition
to your buckwheat cakes next winter,
and come handy about the house in va
rlous ways. The flour should be put in
paper sacks, and corded up in some cool,
dry place out of the way of rats and
mice. If you have a good miller try
my plan; otherwise buy your flour.

methods gave different results. =
But it seems to me that, in all examples
of this nature, when this condition is
not defined in the problem, the United
States rules should be applied. Nor
has it the higher commercial authority,

mathematical formula for solving the

seems little curious, his numerical So

They are as follows Problem No. .,

Answer to "ObSeryer."

Mr.. EDITOR The method of solving
problem No. S, used by "Observer" in
the JOURNAL of the 18th ult., is not
correct, and leads to an erroneous re-
suit. He first assumes that the equal
payments are $500, and then endeavors
to show that they should be 1868. This
amount, substracted from $500, as
the first payment, will leave 81 ,l37,
and not 81 200, to draw interest for the
next interval, and so on, which will
disarrapge the whole calculation.
This question was given in Davies
University Arithmetic, published some
years ago, with the answer $500 56,
which was pronounced to be wrong. An
other question similar to it in Robin
sons Algebra, is as follows; "a man
borrowed $50; what sum shall he pay
daily to cancel the debt, principal and
interest, at 10 per cent. for l2 months
Of 80 days each ?" The answers given
in different editions 81 GOO and
81 61-7200, are incorrect. On these
questions, Prof. Proctor, Liberal lnsti'
tute, Clinton, New York, comments in
the Mathematical Monthly" Vol. Ill
page 255, as follows:
"There are in common use two modes
of adjusting the interest account when
en- obligation is cancelled by partial
payments. The one is described by the
United States rule, the other by the
Vermont rule. According to the former
the interest to be cancelled is that which
shall accrue oD the unpaid parts of the
principal during the Intervals between
the successive payments. According tc
the latter, the interest to be paid is the
excess of the interest Of the given sum

Caught Up the little moaning sound;
Another voice breathed it clear,
And so it wanders round,
From ear to lip, from lip to ear,
Until it reached a gentle heart.

The only heart twas meant to find,
When first its accents woke;
1t reached that tender heart at last,
And that it broke.

Warm Spring Items.

MIR. EDITOR; Desiring not to Oe
left out in the cold, and not seeing any
thing from our section of the country
up to the present time, [ have con-
cluded to give you few lines this week
lust to let the world know that there
is still little life around here.
Our farmers are going in heavy. on
cotton this yer, and guano isin great
demand I am afraid too much of it
is being taken ous on lien by the plan
tcrs, and bankruptcy may be their
portion next fall.
There is nothing going on up here
vet in political way. We are all right,
and expect to have some rights accorded
to US when we 20 to the nominating
convention. We have been without
representation about long enough, and
il is time now that some OF our men
were nominated for Office.
The steam mill Of Messrs. Raley 4
Sons is now in active operation, and the
vay thcy are turning the pine trees into
blank is a caution. May their enter
prise prove to be a paying one.
The old JOURNAL comes to US regu-
larlv on time, and I can assure you it is
highly appreciated. 1t speaks our feel
ings exactly when it talks Of fair deal
ing in all things, and does not hesitate
to show up anything that goes wrong,
no matter who the wroDgdoers may
be. Just keep on in that course, and
YOU can count on our support to the
end.
The great distance that some of us
have to send for our mail is rather
anpoyiog to us. We still hope to have
a post Office established near US before
long. There is no harm in trying to
get it, even if we do fail.
The school question causes little
concern to some of US around here. 1t
is too much cut up to allow ofany
school being kept open long.
Let's map our the school beat boys,
And see what will prevail;
Well get US up little school
In spite of Albert Halle.
Let's map out the school beat, boys,
And see what we can see:
Well get up little school
For the pleasure of two or three.
There was map of the old school house
l saw it here Of late;
I think it full sufficient
To cover half the State.

No matter if we.can never agree

Reply to ''SyntaX"

Mr.. EDITOR: My attention was
called a few days since to "Syntax's"
letter in your issue Of the 18th inst.
As a school teacher. at present teaching
in the "Lost Territory, and believe
the only school that is now open-l
feel certainly bound to say something
in reply.
live about one mile and quarter
from the school house, L leave home
about SIS q. m, and return about 4.l5
D: m. I teach from 9 a. m. until noon,
and from l p. u. until $50 p. M, al
lowing the hour between noon and l
p. m, for recess.
I think from five to six hours a day
ample time to teach twenty or thirty
scholars, and any patron, trustee or
teacher desiring to teach longer would
be doing more harm than good to the
scholars. For, like a long sermon, it
becomes tedious to both hearer and
speaker.
"Syntax" should be more explicit.
His duty would have been to have re-
ported such delinquent teachers to the
trustees or school commissioner, if, as
he says, he freqbently meets them, and
not to have made so bold an assertion
in such widespread paper as yours as
to say che knows it to be the case that
parents will not send their children to
school FOR fear Of the wear and tear
of shoe leather for them to romp for an
hour or two" Such a statement is
sublimely ridiculous. The fault is not
with the teachers at all 1t lies, am
sorry to say, with the parents. Some,
I verify believe, do not want their
children educated for fear they will
know more than they do themselves,
believing that "where Ignorance is bliss,
tits folly to be wise" Others makethe
excuse, and oh, how often that they
cannot spare their children; that they
want them to work at home or in the
field. Shame upon such. Did the
Almighty entrust then, with children
to be brought up as slaves, in ignorance
say they are robbing their children
of their Just due, therefore committing
gross injustice towards the little en-
trusted to their care, and a great sin
before their Maker. No wonder such
parents do not prosper. They cannot
spare their children to 80 school for
three or four years, so that their minds
may be enlarged, and that they may
grow up noble men and wamen, but
prefer to keep them in ignorance, SC
that they may indulge in tobacco and
other luxuries (?)
Here is where the fault lies, that We
arc not able to support schoo
longer than three or four months. Lei
the trustees employ 6rst-class teachers,
whose characters will bear investigation
not time killers and nurses-and ther
neither they nor the patrons need vlsl
the schools to see whether the teacher:
are doing their duty. These are in
controvertible facts. Let those who
wish their children educated make il
worth the while for teachers to teach
before they begin 10 6ud fault with
them
In conclusion, I must say that who
ever told "Syntax" wewero aset ofasse!
over here would do well to ponder ovel
Esop's fables about the convention o
animals. The other animals would no
have known who the ass was if he hat
not brayed first. JlP.
