GROWING PUMPKINS WITH Com.
Pumpkins are valuable for stock
in autumn and early winter, or as
long as they can be conveniently
kept, though the amount of nutri
ment, in proportion to bulk to be
taken care OF, and their liability to
decay, have led most farmers to
discard them, and adopt roots or
squashes for succulent food. AS q
rule, every crop needs all the
ground it occupies, and all the air
and sunlight available. Corn is a
'ssun plant" and to shade the soil
and the lower stalks with the dense
foliage OF pumpkin vines, must be
more or less injurious, even if the
latter do not rob the former of any
needed nutrinent. On very fertile,
new soils with short stalked varie
ties of corn, in localities where
frost is not to be feared, it may be
allowable to plant pumpkin seed at
at the second hoeing, in every
third or fourth hill, in each second
or third row. With favorable
weather, the corn viii produce
about the usual yield, and after the
early gathering of the corn, the
growing pumpkins thus exposed to
full sunlight, will ripen up those
pretty we'll developed. AS rule,
let the pumpkins have the whole
ground; but still better are the
harder Aeshed squashes, which will
probably supply more nutriment
than pumpkins, whether for man or
beast.-American Agriculturi& for

HOW TO SUCCESSFULLY
TRANSPLANT TREES.

Many think it cheaper and better
to take up large trees from the
woods and transplant them to their
grounds or to the roadside than to
buy nursery trees. The american
Agricuzturist says. as a rule, such
trees die; they fail because proper
precautions have not been taken.
In digging up the tree all the roots
outside of a circle a few feet in dl,
ameter are cut of, and the tree is
reset with its full head of branches.
Whoever has seen trees in the for
est that were upturned by lorna
do must have been struck by the
manner in which the roots rup very
near to the surface and to a great
distance. When the roots of these
trees are cut off at two or three feet
from the trunk few or no ibrros or
feeding roots are left, and if the
mass of tops is left the expansion
of the buds in the spring will not
be responded to by supply of sap
from the roots, and death must fol-
low. If such trees have the tops
completely removed, leaving only a
bare pole, they will usually grow
when transplanted. The tree is
little more than an immense cutting;
but there are roots enough left to
meet the demand OF the few shoots
that start from the top. and growth
above and below ground is balan.
ced. We have seen naples, elms
and Eastwood trees, fifteen feet or
more high, transplanted in this
manner, without a failure. Some
trees treated in this manner were
planted in our neighborbood about
ten years ago. They have now as
fine heads as one would wish, and
show no signs of former rough
treatment. Trees il pastures or on
the edge of the woods are better
furnished with roots. These should
be prepared for transplanting by
digging down to thessroots and cut
ting off all that extend beyond the
desired distance. This will cause
the formation of fbrous roots near
the tree. It will be safer to take
two years for the operation, cutting
half the roots each year. Such
trees may be removed in safety, es-
pecially if a good share of the top
is removed at transplanting.

Early in November, 1851, while sewing on
the machine. my wife was taken with a
severe pain in her side, which was soon foi-
lowed by hcmorrhages from her lungs and n
severe cough. Fever commenced, she could
neither cat or sleep, and in few weeks she
was reduced to living skeleton. The at
tending physician told me that he thought
one Of her lungs WIS entirely gone. She
could not retain tn most delicate nouriSh-
mcnt on her stomach, then agree with DR..
Sullivan, my family physician, to cali Dr..
Holloway in consultation. They made Il
final examination Of the patient and pro-
nounced the case hopeless. Dr.. Holland
then suggested the Brewers Lung Rcstorer
as last resort, I sent for bottle and gave
her dose. found that she could retain it
on her stomach and after about the third
dose, began to notice some improvement
in her condition. l continued the medicine
regularly aud by the time she had taken two
bottles, she was able TO walk about the
house She is now in better hoalth than she
has enjoyed for several years. / believe
the Lung Rcstorer saved her life. We have

The Kind OF Nan Wanfcd.

Jack Williams was "A brave sergeant
of regiment which undriIlcd and nm
disciplined, had joined the Army of
the Potomac. Just as the terrible cam
paign of 1864 began.
Before the army reached Petersburg.
Jack commanded his company, the
captain and lieutenants having been
killed. His gallantry was so couspic-
uous that he was recommended for "A
captaincy in the regular army.
Ordered before an examining board
ut Washington, Jack presented him
self, dressed i'll II soiled, torn uniform.
with bronzed face and uncut beard.
The trim, dapper officers composing
the board had never been under fire or
roughed it in the field but they were
posted IN tactics, and in the theory of
war.
Though shocked ut Jacks unsoldirr-
ly appearance, they asked him all sorts
of questions about engineering, mathe-
matics, ordnance, and campaigns.
Not single question could Jack ans
wer. "What is echelon?" asked one of
the board. "Don't know" answered
Jack.
"What is abatis p

"A redan ?"
"You fellows have got me again"
replied Jack.
''Well, what is hollow square. sir?"
'Never heard of one before: guess

front do they r.
''What would you do, sir, if YOU
were IN command of company
and cavalry should charge on you 2'
asked lisping fellow i'll white kids.
"Do, you fool ~ Numbered Jack 81
would give them Hail Columbia. that's
what I'd do! :"
This ended the examination: and
the report of the questions and answers,
with the adverse Judgment of the
board, were sent to President Lincoln.
His private secretary read the report
to him; and when he came to the only
answer that Jack had given, the Pres
ident said,--
''StOp! read that over again"
"Thats just the sort of men our
army wants said the President, tax

the inkstand. On the back of the pa
per, he wrote in clear hand
