THE EUCALYPTUS.
The eucalyptus of Australia is be
ing rapidly introduced into Southern
France. Seedlings a year old planted
in May reach the height of six me
ters in December. Its mean yearly
growth is about four meters, and it
comes to vigorous maturity in twenty
years. Its beauty of form, luxuri
ant evergreen foliage and balsamic
fragrance commend it as a most
desirable shade tree. In Australia
it is thought to make the entire at
mosphere pure and healthy. Its com
mercial value can hardly be overesti
mated. The wooden ships of Aus
tralia are built of the eucalyptus. It
is alike adapted to hulls, framework
and masts. Carpenters, cabinet ma
kers, wagon makers, wheelwrights
nno other mechanics, use it as we use
poplar, pine, walnut and maple in
America, while its growth is about
five times as rapid as our forest trees.
The French have begun the culti
vation of the eucalyptus with great
enthusiasm, believing it will soon
render their country independent of
all others in its supply of timber. Its
African colonies are also adapted to
the healthy growth of the eucalyptus.
Why do not some of our Southern
States try the experiment of trans
ferring this tree to their soil? If our
forests are burned in the future as
they have been in the past, we shall
soon begin to feel the need ol timber
for all kinds of industrial arts. The
oaks, pines, walnuts and maples, are
rapidly disappearing before what we
are pleased to call our civilization.
W hen we begin to realize the conse
:enees of our reckless wastefulness,
it will be found that it vviil require a
hundred years to recover from the
damage received from thoughtless
carelessness. It is time now to see
what can be done in the way of
renewing the forest trees that once
covered the continent.
HITS THE NAIL ON THE HEAD.
We find the following in an ex
change:
I am amused if not edified by the
revelations of your various corres
pondents anent bed bugs and vermin
of like nature. What a picture of
housekeeping it affords! Now, I assert
that oed bugs are never found in
dean houses. I have kept house now
l'or twenty-seven years, in more than
a doze* rented houses, and I never
had such a thing as a bed bug as a
permanent tenant of any bed in my
house. Of course, where the wash
ing is done out of the house there
will sometimes be a stray bug brought
in with the washed clothes. But that
need make no difference; they will
i ot be long undiscovered by the vigi
lent housekeeper. There is no need
of - : ng anything except varnish on
you- Ledsteds, if they are clean to
be;'.ln with, and thatonly to facilitate
dusting and wiping. Your corres
pondents who suffer from chinch
bugs, roaches, &c., need not endeavor
to excuse themselves by saying, “Oh,
well, every one is troubled alike with
them. I am no worse housekeeper
than my neighbors!” Misery may
ha\e a good deal of company, but the
condition is not universal. If any
one will come to my house and find a
bed bug, a roach, a mosquito, a moth
fly, or more than a halt a dozen house
flies I will pay a handsome forfeit, to
be invested in bed bug poison for the
benefit of fellow-sufferers. I will say
in conclusion that my house is not
one of the dark unused ones. Every
room is used every day. It is open
throughout to light and air. The
kitchen ana parlor are alike clean.
A roach can’t live iu a thoroughly
clean kitchen.
A writer sends the following to an
exchange:—“We add two teaspoon
fuls of powdered saltpetre and two
lublespoonfuls of granulated sugar to
ten pounds of good, well worked but
ter, when we put it away in the fall
to keep all winter. It will keep good
arid sweet without these additions so
long as the weather remains cool, but
it does not keep well after it gets
warm in the spring. We make it up
in cakes all ready for the table and
pack it away in stone pots, set them
in a cool, dry place, cover tightly, but
without brine or molasses over it.
The Scientific American gives the
following recipe for getting rid of
stumps: “In the autumn or early
winter, bore a hole one or two inches
in diameter, according to the girth of
the stump, and about eighteen inches
deep. Put into it one or two ounces
of saltpetre, fill the hold with water,
ad plug it close. In the spring
take out the plug and ignite it. The
stump will moulder away, without
blazing, to the very extremity of the
roots, leaving nothing but the ashes.”
Try it and give us the result next
spring,
An agricultural journal says: “The
farmer who has no sheep should be
making arrangements to procure a
small flock or nucleus for more ex
tended operations. Sheep will pay,
if property taken care of— not ten
.per cent., but two hundred per cent.”

New York Enamel Faint Company's
Ready Mixed Paints.
Manv years’ practical test has demonstrated that the Paints manufactured bi
this Company fully bear out what is claimed for them.
1. They are the best and most durable paints made
2 They are always ready for use, and need no thinning.
3. They can be applied by the most inexperienced person with good result.
4*. They retain their original brilliancy of color for years.
5 Thev are not affected by the atmosphere.
6. They will not “peel,” “crack,” “chalk off” or “blister.”
7. Tliev have a more even and glossy surface than any other known paint.
$. They are the most economical of any paints used.
AJSTJD THE
There are two essential features to observe in making good paint—purity c
mat'rial, and a thorough mixing of the ingredients.
In the manufacture of the New York Enamel Paint, none but the bsst ma
terials are used, vet, at the same time, bv our system of compounding the oil
lc-u' zinc and pigments, the entire mass is so held in chemical cohesion, tha
the paint, after being applied to any surface, will not shrink, evaporate, or lo*
its oil' hence ft possesses a firm, yet glossy elastic surface, and will not chalk o
nod off, as is the case with lead and oil mixed in the old way.
Our Paints are warranted to be all we claim loi them

We also manufacture an iron-clad Root Paint, which we claim to be superio

protection to the roof, and is not affected by trust oi beat.
