The Heavenly Country.

No cloudod skies, no long, dark night,
No fear, or pain, or withering blight,
No death, no sorrow there can como;
No wanderers there, all are at home;
No sickncss there, no fevered brow;
No load OF care, the form to bow;
No slavery with It's calling chain,
No anxious torturing OF tho brain,
No silver idols, no gods OF gold,
No honor there that's bought and sold;
No whispered envy with tongue OF flame,
No alander to bring the blush OF shame;
No thieves or robbers with stealthy tread,
No murderers there, to multiply the dead:
His glorious voice shall rule tho wide domain
And Eden fair In beauty bloom again.

Where are the Roots ?

While fruit growers are aware now
that the roots of trees and plants extend
to great distance, still it is difficult to
break away from the old habit of manur-
ing about the trunk, trusting that some
how or other the fertilizer will be ap-
propriated, and fearing that if spread
broadcast it may some way become lost
1t will be found difficult to place manure
in an orchard or vineyard where the
plants will not reach it, and if properly
spread it will not be lost. Should it
sink into the subsoil the roots will follow
it and bring it back by the ear, as a
teacher would truant school bow. We
have observed the roots of apple trees in
sand pits extending downwards ten feet
We recently followed the roots of an old
grapevine twenty feet under the location
OF defunct building. When we stopped
digging the roots were as large as a little
finger, were four feet beneath the sur
face, and probably extended ten feet
farther. A pile of manure about the
base of this vine would have done but
little good. Knowing the extent and
habit of root growth, it is apparent that
cultivation close about the trunks of the
trees or vines is not necessary, and is
often productive of more harm than good.

Storing Potatoes

10 store potatoes properly we have to
guard against heating, for although the
potato will not absolutely ferment by
heat, as so much vegetable matter will.
a heap becomes warm enough to excite
any germ fungus there may be in the
tuber, and this exhalation may be suf-
ficient to cause a decay, which can be
communicated to the roots in which no
symptom OF rot exists. Moisture is
favorable to heating, and hence it is best
to have the potato thoroughly dry before
storing, if any considerable quantity is
to be put away in bulk. Thus, if DO
tatoes are spread on d barn floor or other
cool place out of the sun, before putting
INTO the root cellar, they will be safe
against rotting. Hundreds of bushels
are often taken at once from the field to
the cellar without any damage whatever
resulting; but in view of the possibility
of rot it is advisable to take the extra
Precaution in drying. 1t is well to note
that cool shed is best to dry. them in
as the tubers will otherwise absorb more
heat than when they come out of the
ground.

red pepper in their soft food once week
or oftenerin quite cold weather. Chopped
hay should be supplied to them occa-
sionally. Have box of sand or ashes
where they can use it at pleasure Any
bones, burned or broken fne or other
warm scraps from the table, are always
acceptable to the hens.
Having adopted system of feeding,
pursue it steadily, or when changing, do
it gradually; never make sudden radical
changes, as it always unfavorably effects
the supply Of eggs. Keep the hens from
being worried or excited through fear OF
boisterous boys or dogs. The more quiet
the hens are kept, the greater the num-
Der of eggs supplied. If this care is OBJ
served, the owner of hens will have a
good supply of eggs during the coming
winter, and those which he sells will OF
course bring high price, Evangelist.

Profit Of Grapes.

The usual return from an acre Of
grapes OF a popular sort, such as Con-
cord, is from 5000 to $500 an acre. But
the ground requires at least as much cul-
tlvatlon as for crop of corn. A method
OF training by which the ground can be
kept clean is to set posts seven feet
apart, one for each vine, and carry wires
from one to the other, six feet from the
ground both ways. The vines may be
trained on these wires, and small horse
could pass easily under the fruit. And
1000 vines would thus occupy one acre,
and II pounds to the vine would pro-
duce, at cents a pound, $780, The
common method of training to single
stakes would not be so productive as this.

Cutting Timber for Fences.

The best time to cut timber for any
use is when the bark peels easily. But
the bark should be peeled at once and
the timber left to season. The sap or
moisture is then mostly in the outer layer
of the wood and soon dries, and it is dry
before any Of the wood boring beetles are
around to lay their eggs, which they do
upon the bark into which the young
worms can bore easily. If the trees are
in leaf it is well not to trim the branches
until the leaves have dried, as they
eVaporate large quantity Of water, and
so dry the timber very thoroughly.
