Facts for Farmers.

The sugar maple is handsome tree,
and can be made to pay rich roturn
for the ground it occupies.
In Michigan and New York they
spray their whole orchards with So
luton of paris green, and kill the larvae
of the cOdling moth, so that they have
apples free from worms
Unless hens are coOped up when
nursing broods at this season there
will he much loss, as very often the
hens will not settle down for the chicks
to nestle, the consequence being the
chilling of the chicks by cold.
Farmers are gradually becoming in
formed of the true nature of CONNER
cial fertilizers, and instead of depend
ing solely on single substance now
rely only ON those that combine sew
eral substances in the same bags.
F.D. Curtis says the experiment OF
throwing small forkful of bright clo-
yer hay to his Duroc Jersey swine
added new chOre to the routine to
fodder the hogs He feeds them with
corn twice day with roots for noon
meal.
In growing sweet corn for stock the
Minnesota evergreen is excellent.
When the fodder feed is given it should
be cut twenty -four hours hours and al
lowed to wilt before giving it to the
cows. If fed too green they are apt to
eat more than they should.
The value of wood ashes as fertil-
izer is to little appreciated. They con-
tain, in varying proportions, the valu-
able mineral properties needed by
plants. They are especially valuable
for orchards in bearing, having an yet
unexplained effect in perfecting the
fruit.
Ezra Paekards second hatch with
his hot water incubator, at Hammon
ton, N. j., resulted in his securing u
per cent. of chicks from the gross mum
ber of eggs. The Hammonton brOoder
which he uses, raises them with but
trifing loss. The incubator is agair
in operation.
Any soil that will produce ordinary
farm crops will produce the small
fruits. Work the land deeply by tn
use of subsoil plow and make it rea
sOnably rich by the application of SOM
fertilizer. Make the soil fine ant
mellow by repeated narrowing, bu
use nitrogenous manures sparingly.
A gardener who has tested it 70
three years says that broken pieces c
bone are much better than broke
crockery for draining flower pots
The plants suck the fertilizing qualit
out of the bones, and make such viz
orous growth that the plants in poi
supplied with bones could be told {
once.
The Michigan Farmer says that
ram yielding twenty-eight pounds
gross fleece which scOuE seven pOunC
is far better than one yielding thirt.
four pounds which scours five pound
This is contrary to the usual claim, b.
the excessive oiliness Ofthe fleece is !

In this country there are eleven peo-
pie to the square mile. 1t is, there
fore, not at all singular that the cultiva-
tion of land should be our great indus
try, nor that the price of labor should
be dependent upon the rate of wages
paid by farmers. When we get 200 or
800 people to the square mile, as in
some of the more densely populated
European countries, the rate of wages
will go down here as it has in those
countries under the pressure OF hard
necessity. The process is u very easy

For the benefit of Fitz John Porter.
Congress has finally voted to set aside
the Judgment Of the highest military
tribunal ever organized in this country.
Six Republicans aided the Democrats
Thursday in passing the measure
through the Senate. The question has
been eoniinually before the country
since Porter was dismissed from the
Army, twenty-One years ago; and it
will, at least, be a relief to get rid of it.
President Lincoln, after careful con-
sideration of the matter, when the
events were fresh in the minds Of the
witnesses, concluded that injustice had
not been dome Porter. But that judg-
Intnt .a been reversed. The
present bill authorizes the President Ia
nominate Porter for the position oi
Colonel in the Army. His pay will
amount to 81, ,5O0per annuln, unless hs
is retired. when it will amount tC

Islands and he acting Governments secre-
tary were present.

and adopted.
The Council then proceeded to the Order
of Day: viz:
L. Question of withdrawal of 4th Member

(BirCh) in consequence OF absence Tor
a longer period than 4 months.
The Chairman said that Mr.. Birch left
the Island OH 23rd August last year, con
sequentIy he had now been absent more
than 4 months; since the question of his
withdrawal had been put on the Order Of
Day, he (the Chairman had, however, as
certainrd that Mr.. Birch may be expected
tn the first packet in next month, or
about 4 weeks hence; aud as the election
OF a new Member in his stead would take
not much less time than 4 weeks, he would
suggest to the council to postpone the
question Of Withdrawal till March, When,
II Mr.. Birch should not nave arrived, his
seat would become vacant. tie would now
leave the question to the decision OF the
Council.
1St Member for ChriStianstcd Wj}cr8

Of accepting the proposal Of the honorable
Chairman; for if MI. Birch be hele in

about as soon as there could be made a
new election.

sal made by the Chairman.
