Mr. Edison Gaylord, one OF the Oldest

Budd, of The Iowa Agricultural College:
II am anxious to get you IN my bugg,
tor u "trip among our Oldest orchards OF
this section. would like you TO put your
hands ON the old trees that have grown up
protected from the effects of the wind and
sun on their southwest side of trunk. We
want also to show you hundreds OF young
butternuts, hickurles, and black walnuis
that are killed on the side toward the ont
clock sun. We do not believe there is q
case to the contrary unless the trees lean
the sun or have had some kind of '' pre- =
lection from It's direct rays. We have
been most thoroughly confirmed in the be-
lief that none OF the trees named will taIl
TO lear, 10 the northwest on account Of
damage from the sun if unprotected by
branches or close cuttings. We have
blndly sought TO remedy Thu serious
trouble by very low heads but this ha-
only proven a partial rem edy. The real
remedy is found IN having the main
branches toward the one O'Clock sun. and
planting the tree strongly inclined toward
the sun at this hour Even IN my unfl-

To this tie Professor replied as follows
ia the Iowa Register:
an conf nation of this view 1t is well
to note that VIC saw hundreds Of trees OF
the finer cherry and plum IN Russia plant

The one O'Clock sun. Mr. GAYLORD has
urged the impoItaacc of leaning trees in
the direction noted for Is numncr at years.
People often pretend 10 follow this advice
in setting young orchards, by leaning the
trees an inch or two. Who will try the
plan of leaning AT an angle Of a. degrees

ALEXANDRIA, July 1.-THE cholera is
spreading generally throughout the country.
The sanitary commission has taken steps to
isolate Alexandria, in which case thought
to be cholera was examined to-day. Twenty
eight deaths occurred from the disease at
Damietta Mondays at Mansourah and 10 at
Samanoud. The sanitary commission are
endeavoring to purify Cairo and to isolate
houses where cholera has appeared; but if
the disease takes firm hold in that city it is
probable that 1t will be allowed to take its
course, and that general precautions only
will be taken to check Its progress. Baker
Pasha having expressed the opinion that the
cordons around the city are now useless, they
will probably he all scattered soon. Cases
occur in the village daily which natives con-

The Proper Position for Sleeping.

A German, Baron Reichenbach, has
occupied many years in studying the
art of bed making, or rather bed-plac-
ing, and maintains that improperly
placed beds will shorten a mans life.
If mere magnet exercises an influ-
ence on sensitive persons, the earth's
magnetism must certainly make itself
felt on the nervous life of man. In
whatever atmosphere, you may always
sleep with your feet to the equator,
and let your body lie true as needle
to the pole.
The proper direction of the DO ly is
of the utmost Importance for the propar
circulation of the blood, and many dis
turbances in the organisms have been
cured by simply placing the bolster in
q different point Of the compass from
that it hal occupied. Let such as have
hitherto been in the habit OF slice ping
with their heads where their feet GU ght
to be take to heart the sxamale of the
late DIR. Elschwester, of Magdeb urg,
who died recently at the age Of 100
years.
The most unhealthy position, we
are told, is when the body lies due east
and west. Some observers assure us
that to sleep in such a posture is tan
tamount to committing suicide, and
that diseases are often aggravated by
deviations from the proper posture.

Proper Msthod Of Greasing Wagons.

This is Of more Importance than any
wagon owner imagines. The follow
ing from an unknown source, is valu-
able on the subject, which We trust
will be duly needed. Few people are
aware that they do wagons and carri-
ages more injury by greasing too plen-
tifully than in any other way. A we'll
made wheel will endure constant wear
from ten to twenty-five years, if care
is taken to use the right kind and
proper amount of grease; but if this
matter is not attended to, they will be
used up in five or six years. Lard
should never be used on wagon, for
it will penetrate the hub and work it's
way out around the lemons of the
spokes and spoil the wheel. Tallow is
the best lubricator for wooden axle
trees aud castor oil for iron. Just
grease enough should be applied to
the spindle Of wagon to give it q
light coating; this is better than more,
for the surplus put on will work out
at the ends and be forced to the
shoulder bands and nut washer into
the hub around the outside of the
boxes. To oil an axle tree first wipe
the spindle clean with a cloth wet
with spirits of turpentine, and then
apply few drops of castor oil near
the shoulder and end. One teaspoon
full is sufficient for tie whole. We
would add that for journey on which
there is q heavy pressure tits ia good plan
to mix with the oil some lamp black or
common SCOT. Powdered plumbago
or black lead is also employed for the
same purpose.
