The Waverly Grange had fine time at their
Christmas tree. These Waverly grangers are
not numerous, but livelier ones can't be found.
We saw o. A. Breck going out OF town with
q load of corn about as large as a hay stack,
and weighing $500 lbs. 1t would be interest

wood drawn from this town weigh. We never
saw such loadsldrawn on wagons.

Several Waverly boys were imposed upon

Since my last letter have been visiting sew
eral small towns along the l.. S. d M. 5. X. Il.
In and about DevereuI, northeast Jackson
county. the last season crops were good, but
farther north at Diamondale, near Lansing, all
kinds OF crops were almost total failures, many
farmers leaving portions Of hay and wheat in
the fields on account Of the continuous rain.
, For this reason trade through this section is
not enjoying the universal boom.
We spent Christmas in piamopdale, and en-
joyed an old fashioned skate on the Gracd
River. Boys and girls, young and old turned
out en- n-masse, with skates and sleds, making .
general holiday and all intent on having as
much enjoyment as possible, and judging by
the merry laughter and hearty shouts they all
made a success OF it. Although We were q
stranger in o strange land we endeavored to
get our share OF the sport and did not get
homesick over it either. Not very.
Just before leaving this place one OF the fin
est dwellings, it afforded burned. The fire broke
ont early in the evening OF bitter cold day,
and many were the ears, noses and fingers that
Jack frost got hold Of before the crowd dis
persed.
During the cold snap the thermometer mark
ed-19 degrees, aud as there has been no snow
OF any amount here yet, the ground must be
frozen nearly to the central flowery kingdom.
Our visit in this vicinity has already been
protracted beyond our original intention, but
we are waiting few days longer to see the
fair daughter OF one OF Calhoun's wealthest
farmers become bride. Miss Alma j. Ship
man, who visited Paw Paw last summer and
will be pleasantly remembered by some Of the
young people Of that place, will, before this
reaches You, mo preventing Providence" be
united in wedlock to Mr.. Alfred Reed, OF Sheri-
dan. Then we HE us homeward.

Transplanting Evergreens.

There has always been much said as
to the proper time for transplanting cv-
ergreen trees. The first tree we ever
planted on our own account of the ever
green family was a cedar-tree. We
wanted about a dozen with which to
make a hedge, and were told to select
the month of August, as that was the
year to remove them with certainty. We
did so, and were three years before we
could get enough to grow. 1t is true
good sized trees were selected, but they
were not two hours out OF the ground
before they were in again, and during
even that short period the roots were
protected against the sun.
We never tried August again; and
subsequently in planting the Hemlock
and Norway spruces, the double white
spruce, the common mountain spruce,
the white pine, the Excelsior pine, the
Criptomeria, the Austrian and Scotch
pines, the Irish juniper, the Irish yew,
the American, Chinese and Siberian
arbor vitas, we do not at this time re,
member that even one was lost by the
transportation. We set from the mid.
die of March to the end of May, and on
one occasion the Norway spruce was
planted when it had shot fully two
inches.
August and the autumn months may
be very good transplanting times fol
some people. We merely mention oul
own experience, which may or may mo-
be considered satisfactory; but Angus
ard the autumn can not be better thar
the spring when, if properly attended
to, all the trees grow. GernaGntoV'

Russian Wolves.

than on any other occasion. Settlers
and retrieverS are frequently snapped
up within 100 yards of the sportsman,
and in broad daylight, when shooting in
thick forest; and wolves will prowl
round the villages at night aud come
right into small towns after bowling
puppies. The peasants seldom show
fear of them, and an old woman knew

on a bitter cold night, only armed with

Glover and Rye for Hogs.

In my experience, says a writer, have
found nothing so profitable for hog pas
ture as clover and rye, and | think rye
preferable; and the reason they are bet
ter than timothy, blue grass and all SIM
liar grasses is, they remain more tender
for q longer period than other grasses,
which so soon become why and hard,
partaking of the nature of hay, and |
have never known hogs to thrive on it,
although other stock does. To use rye
prolitably for pasture fall rye should be
sown for spring pasture and spring rye
for later pasture, and by not pasturing
too long and too close there will be con-
siderable head out, which when ripe
will, with the weeds that naturally grow
among grain, make good pasture until
time to commence feeding corn; at least
such is my experience. As to using any
OF the grasses named for hog pasture, ]
would prefer good weed pasture, and
will here say that l am of opinion il
some OF the weeds so eagerly eaten by
hogs were domestieated and properly
cultivated they would prove more salts
factory for hog pasture than anything
used Of grass kind.

The Search for the Jeanette.

Chief Engineer A. V. Zane, who has
been ordered TO accompany the Jean
nette search expedition, tells hopeful
story of the plan on which it will pro-
coed. The first stop will probably be
made on the southeast corner OF Wrangel
Island, where Captain de Long agreed
to leave record of his cruise. Ii no
message is found there, second stop
will be made for the same purpose at
Herald Island. Mr.. Zane says: "The
search along the coast of these two
islands will probably take two months,
when the Arctic winter will begin. We
are then ordered to find secure harbor
at Wrangel Island, and if this is not
possible to cross over to Siberia and go
into winter quarters there. During the
winter, sledge parties will be organized
and sent out in search of news of the
Jeanette. Captain Berry, who will
command the Helen and Mary, will be
governed entirely by the information we
get after reaching the Arctic regions.
Our orders are not to stay north more
than one winter, but to prosecute the
search after the spring opens in 1857
and remain until the winter sets in
again. Then we return to San Fran

is volunteer, and the detail was made
