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.” GAINESVILLE POST OFFICE.

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 (3-00X3- CHICA-IF -A.XTI3 IDIIX2/-A.BLEI ROOF PAIX f We also manufacture an iron-clad Root Paint, which we claim to be superio to anything in the market for this purpose; is very durable, affords tUrougl protection to the roof, and is not affected by trust oi beat. figr-A LIBERAL discount to the trade .jm PLEASE SEND FOR PRICES, TERMS AND TESTIMONIALS B.
