The Peril Of Travellers.

A man who lately held the position of
night telegraph operator at one of the
stations on a New England railroad has
related to a reporter of the New Haven
Union personal experience which
serves to illustrate the chances of dis
aSter to which travellers are constantly
exposed. He was the only man in the
depot at night and his hours were from
7;30 p. IN. to 1880 a. m. One night he
dropped asleep at his instrument and
the next thing he knew he awoke to
hear the rumble of an approaching
train, and his telegraphic call vigor-
ously sounded on the receiver before
him. To his dismay he perceived that
his right hand and arm were asleep, as
the common expression is, and totally
useless, and it was only with great diff
ticulty that he could give an Ineligible
response to the signal with his left hand
and scrawl brief memorandum of the
instructions which followed However
he did succeed in stopping the ap-
preaching train and giving tae impor-
tant orders which he had just received.
But" said he to the reporter, 1.-The

Celery Among Potatoes.

Having like many rather a small gar
den and needing to economic space l.
tried setting the plants in line between
two hills of Early Rose. After several
years experience of the plan find it
answers admirably. The two things
work very well together. The follow
ing advantage: First, of course, two
crops off the same piece of ground.
Then the killing of the potatoes (they
receive the last banking up just before
the celery is set), leave half trench
already made. One spit more in the
bottom completed it. The plants when
first set get nearly all the shading they
need from the potato tops, then in their
rankest vigor. Thus the scorching heat
of summer is kept off the plants while
they are making root. Before the sum-
mer is ended the potato tops have died
down and the celery has commenced to
grow vigorously. Now the potatoes are
ripe, and being dug leave abundance of
mellow soil ready at hand to be scooped
into the trench, and earthing up pro-
ceeds with ease and rapidity while the
plants are rushing along in all the lux
uriance of their autumnal growth. The
oniy Poesiple opJectIoH can imagine
to this plan is the danger from Paris
green, with which the potatoes are
dosed at least twice. In careless hands
this might be, but take care to sift the
Objectionable compound as far as posi-
BILE on the potato tops only, and after
several seasons experience have found
no i'll effect from growing the celery in
such close proximity. For our dry in
land summers | believe in the trench
for celery. Last season, while some
not in trench either was entirely ar
rested in growth or killed outright, that
in the trench kept fresh and green and
maintained modest advance during
the most scorching weather and came
right along the moment the autumnal
rains began to fall.-F'ruit Recorder.

HOME, Farm AND GARDEN.

An root crops really require garden
culture.
If you make a garden il pays to en-
rich the ground literally.
In planting peas cover decp-four
or five inches. State Register.
Arrow root is recommended as the
thickening for custardS and sauces OF
all kinds, both for buildings and for
meats. 1t is preferred to corn starch
by many, on account of the flavor.
A practical farmer recommends
the growing of two crops of buckwheat
i'm succession, as n means of exter-
minating wire-worms. They will not
eat buckwheat, and are starved to
death.
AS to fertilizers, there is nothing
equal to wood ashes, says Hiram Siblcy,
and they should be sown broadcast inn
mediately after planting corn, or APP
piled literally about the plants as soon
as they are up. Corn is potash plant,
but requires the phosphates. Fertil-
izers should be sought which contain
both, and, when sown broadcast, they
may be used unsparingly with profit.
Rye Cakes: Rye tea cakes or break
fast cakes are made of one pint of sweet
milk, two eggs. one tablespoonful of

Steamed corn bread is particularly
wholesome when made with butter

lobbered milk. To two cups of Indian

IA half of melted butter; steam for two
hours in well-buttered tin. and dry off

Corn which is hilled will blow
down more readily than that which has
level culture. This can be accounted
for by the fact that cOrn-roots run very
near the surface, and when hills are
made they are confined to the small
space covered by the hill while in level
culture the roots run from one row to
the other. thus enabling the corn to
stand strong, as nature intended, and

An Accurate Time-Piece.

While ON the subject of
Waltham watches, we may mention that
we have seen a letter from the Com
mander of the Gordon Castle Castle
line of Steam Packets, who was fortu-
nate enough to save life at sea, and who
for his gallant conduct was presented in
September last with a Gold Kevless
Waltham Watch by the President OF the
United States, on bel alf of the London
Local Marine Board. Referring to this
Presentation Watch, he says: "When
/ left London the watch was six seconds
fast, and on my arrival at Singapore it
was only three seconds slow, a most ex-
traordinary performance for watch, as
carried it on my person the whole
time. ! compared it every day with my
chronometers on the passage out, and It
seldom or ever differed one second from
them; in fact, | found it almost, if not
as good as my chronometers, which is
great deal to say for a watch carried
about and subject to all kinds of iolts.

English Investments in American Cattle.

According to Western operator it
appears that during the last few years
the English have invested heavily in
American stock cattle, and are now
rcaping rich reward for their ven
lures. 1t is estimated that nearly one
sixth of all the new herds in the coun-
try are owned by English capital. That
the English have hit it so far there is
not n doubt, but whether their good
fortune Will continue is quite another
matter. Many say that the present high
price of beef is due to the large body of
cattle withdrawn from the market to
raise herds. The enterprise of the
English has aroused the Americans, and
American capital is now seeking invest
ment in cattle-raising out West 1t is
the large amount of foreign capital
seeking investment in cattle that has
driven the price up so high. Cattle this
spring are higher than ever before for
stock purposes, and twenty-eight dol
lars, thirty dollars and thirty-two dol
lars per head are not considered too
high prices. to ask. hope soon to see
cattle lower, when they can be bought
for say sixteen dollars to twenty-five dol
lars per head. Not that l am sangune
that such will be the case. The cattle
business has been solong neglected that
it can not be picked up at once in the
face of population of $4,000, 600 of
people and their enormous demands.

Pruning Trees.

No one can make a good job at prun
ing merely by reading printed dircc-
tionS. There are infinite variations in
trees. No two trees or plants are eN-
actlv alike, and so in pruning there
must be general principle, which is to
be understood first, and then the work
is to be done in accordance with this
principle. The person who undertakes
to prune a vine, fruit tree, or flower
inc shrub, must first understand the
nature and habit of it and the laws of
vegetable growth; and from his knowl-
edge of these must have a clearly de-
fined purpose. All this can not be
learned at Snce, nor can it be taught in
a short lesson, but great deal may be
learned with common sense by q little
practice. after knowing few leading
principles. One can not grow wood
and leaf and fruit too. A tree can
produce Just so much and no more. If
Il produces much wood there will be
Little fruit; if it produces much fruit, it
will be very poor. So that the leading
idea in pruning a tree or vine Is to
turn the vigor of growth towards fruit
and by reducing the quantity of this to
improve its quality and value.
Now let the owner of an apple tree
take careful survey of it with ii view
to prune it. He finds here and there a
limb crossing another one, or growing
close to it. and net work of branches
and twigs intcrmingled. This is wrong
ana must be remcdied. A branch is
cus out here. the twigs are Topped off
there. and all the interfering wood is
removed. The tree is gone over in this
way until standing under it one sees an
even distribution of bearing wood with
abundant space for light and air to pen
citrate everywhere. Perhaps the young
growth has been rampant and leaf-buds
cover it instead of fruit-buds. The young
twigs then need cutting back one-haif
or even more, and this is especially
needful in the pruning of young trees in
which the future shape and distribution
of limb and branch are to be controlled.
1t is far better to prevent branch from
growing than to cut it away afterward.
The energies of the tree are then not
wasted, but are directed where they
will do the most good. Knowing even
no more than this one may 90 to tree
with fine saw and sharp knife, but
never with an AK, and what he cuts, he
should remove close to the branch or
limb leaving no stubs and smooth
wound; and he may work away, bear
ing these points in mind. If he makes
a mistake either by doing too little or
too much, it will soon be seen and
avoided in the future, and each tree will
be better done than the one before it, by
reason of experience gained. Farm,

The telegraph recently announced
that the little dory Pacific, that left San
