Winter Effects OF the Drought.

1t is often thought that we are learn.
ing from year to year; but the conduct.
or OF a newspaper. beyond most 9TH
ers, knows how slowly the world prof
It's by the labors of discoveries. From
time to time, however, we can refer ia
new matters in season, as the knOwl-
edge can be made available, and in this
way the newspaper can be made
teacher as well.
Among the knowledge gained in re-
cent years is the truth that the effects
OF drought on vegetation is not al
ways Immediately apparent. Trees.
which seem to get through the snm.
mer struggle remarkably well, will often
1--we several years afterwards and vet
die. The reason of this, Invested OF ali
technical language, is. that though not
killed. the vital condition is lowered.
and thus a degree of cold, or any unfa.
vorable circumstances, which under
ordinary conditions the plant would
easily resist, is too much for it. and tina
tree dies.
We have had this season one Of the
most trying times in the drought line
49, "a fSsiOASOAs lxcuC6 We NAV make
use OF this knowledge wherever we have
particularly valuable trees thati is worth
while taking little trouble to pre-
serve. What is called life or the vital
principle in plants, is simply food
changed into that character, and thus
by giving food we strengthen life.
Therefore. there is no better way to
help a half-dried tree to get THROUGH
the winter than by giving ii manure.
Spread thin around such trees as soon
as may De after reading this. 1t NAV
be seen that as there will be no more
leaf growth or growth of branches this
season, there will be no use putting on
manure now. But this is not what ex-
perience teaches. 1t is found that the
roots are strengthened; the whole vital
power increased by the top dressings
around weak trees in the fall as we
recommended; and as great old farm
writer once said, "a grain Of practice il
worth q whole ton of theory" Ever.
green hedges especially will be found
benefited by top-dressing of manure.

preaching manhood, has been in the
habit since infancy of, walking in his
sleep. Every effort has been made to
break him of his somnambulistic tenden-
cies, but without avail. He would arise
from his couch at all hours of the night.
wander from one part of the building to
another, wend his way to the porches
and piazzas, and was sometimes found
perched upon the roof of the house. A
short time ago it was decided bv the
head OF the house that the somnambulist
snould occupy the same couch with his
elder brother, and the latter was in.
structed, in case the boy INDUCED in
any OF his former antics, to administe,
severe punishment in the shape of .
forcible application of the sole of :

gratefully accepted the task and prom

letter In order to show that he was
not negiectful of the duty imposed upon
him It IS only necessary to relate the
following incident: One night q short
time ago, when both of the brothers
were wrapped in the deep slumbers of
early morn their paterfamilias IMAGINED
that he heard sounds of disturbance in
the chicken-yar at the rear of the
house. and. fearing that his hen-roost
might be despoiled. entered the room
where the boys were sleeping. and.
opening the window, peered out into
The darkness to ascertain whether his
were correct. The elder
son, who was sleeping on the outside Of
The bed, thought the figure at the
window was that Of his brother. and.
forgetting, in his zeal, to ascertain II
his bed-fellow was quietly reposing or |
not leaped from his couch, seized the |
syer-ready slipper, and administered 4 |
severe castigation upon the party ia
lndress at the window. Before the |
lstonished father could turn he had re-
'elved some four or five heavy and
'tlnging blows, and was so surprised
