GLEANINGS.

The Scientific American gives the fol-
lowing recipe for getting rid of stumps:
'.In the au umn or early winter bore a
hole one or two inches in diameter, ac-
cording to the CIR h of the stump, and
about eighteen inches deep. Put into 1t
one or two ounces of saltpetre, fill the
hole with water and plug it close. In
the ensuing spring take out the plug and
ignite it. The stump will moulder
away without blazing, to the very ez-
tremity of the roots, leaving nothing but
the ashes Try it and give US the re-
suit next spring.
DR.. Charles E. West writes to the
Mass. Ploughman: 81 have Durham
COW grade, six years old, which was
raised on my farm. She came in the
last of June, 1880, and gave, week after
week. for three months, from 53 to 54
mounds of milk daily. The milk was OF
excellent quality. She ran in the pas
ture with other cows and had no Stops
or extra feed. She has no recorded pedl-
gree but vet she pays her way. She is
a noble looking animal and has often
taken the premium at the County FAIR.
Malching is a great protection to
plants summer and winter. In dry
summer it helps to retain moisture IN
the ground d in winter it prevents
the earth from being blown from the
roots. There is no better material tor
mulehing than salt hay or bog-grass.
Some plants. especially strawberries,
always require it to keep the fruit clean;
Now is the season to secure the material
for mulching. if it has not already been
attended to.
The time spent in destroying weeds
at any season of the year is we'll spent
1t is not to late even in September TO do
something effective in this way, if the
weeds that have gone to seed are care
fully gathered and burned. One root of
some vile weed, if the seed is suffered to
ripen fully. may plant whole township
within few years.
Milk resdily absorbs every odor
whether agreeable or disagreable, and
catches every variety of ferment which
NAV chance to come in contact with 1t
from the air. Itshould be carefully pro-
tected against all such influences and
kept in pure air out of the reach OF all
noxious smells.

admit, but at no time did the thermome-
ter 20 down to zero, whilst in the wes-
tern and eastern states the extreme cold
caused much suffering TO both man and
beast. And even to-day, while We are
being blessed with the beautiful sun
shine. and an occasional shower of rain,
which is beneficial to our farmers, many
people are homeless and suffering in the
great west, on account of the floods and
severe snow storms. Over one-half oi

frost has not only killed the peach crops,
but as well the trees, necessttatins the
planting of new orchards. In Hungary
over one hundred thousand acres of grain
sowed land has been washed away by the
floods and in Russia the peasants are
diving of starvation. while in Chic, :
beautiful city Of 10000 inhabitants
situated in the Mediterranean, is devas
tated py a succession of earthquakes
