Plant your trees in groups, imitating nature. Don’t (all into the error of planting everything in stiff rows. Noth ing so much shows the lack of good taste. Give curves snd rounded'corners when possible. The approach to the house should come from a side direction, and wind toward the house with a natural curve. Not that it should he made crooked and tor tuous, but the trees should la-so arranged, in clumps, as to make it seem the most natural way of approach. There is another thing you should never neglect. Turn out all hands for, say some half day, or more if necessary. Don't wait until you have nothing to do, but make a general clearing lip of the yard and premises.

Such tools as are really valuable, put away Safely ; snd you will bo astonished at the great Improvement a tew hours time has made in the neatness and tidy lisik of your premises. In fitting up a place, difficulties are often experienced. We want a grassy lawn, and we want trees, but trees will not grow well in grass. It is best, there fore, to plant the trees first, and cultivate the ground in hoed crops for several years, until the tree gets a good start before needing down. Small fenced-in yards should he avoided—they give your place a contracted, pinched-up look. Fences should not be used more than is abso lutely necessary. The garden ground, however, may Im> included with the house and lawn.hutthe fence in this ease should be made of some light kind, that will obstruct the view of the grounds as little *s possible.-* ll>ifmi Rural. Hul*tnc*M 4 o*operitfloii. The following is from the Cos s|>erH tive News, Rnglnnd: At a public meeting held in Chittenlmm, Mr Sar gent, of (ilouoester. in addressing the meeting, referring to the civil service co-operation*, said they were not the only cO-operatort who were doing a large business in Ixjndon. There was a society that was doing a trade of from £200,000 to £SOQ.OOO }x>r annum. The parent society, which was in Manches ter, was doing a business of more than two millions per annum; as a conse quence, they were able to purchase their goods in the best markets in the world. Under these advantageous cir cumstances it was almost an impossi bility for small tradesman to be able to compete in the open market against such a combination of numbers and capital as this gigantic society com mands He then went on to say that oo ->![>c ration did not stop here. The eo oj>erators ol Kngland and Wales were amalgamated with the Patrons of Hus bandry and the grangers of the Missis sippi valley, one of the richest, most fertile and productive in the world. He explained that it was in contemplation to unite with those grang-ers. and said the produce of the Mississippi valley w.’sao abundant that *>me ol the pro ducers promi-ed that they would read ily give one year s crop in eight to secure a ready market for the other seven. The pr -due* consists of grain, wool, pork, bniter, cheese, cotton, etc. and the demand iu the vailev for British m.mu f to red goods was no great that it was pi tt y sure to real ire good prices. He teii sanguine that this was one ot the gtandesl schemes that had ever been s : ■ on foot, and millions on both sides of the Atlantic would have cause to rejoice in its success. He predicted that ere long the co-operators would have ships of their own bringing all the products of that rich country and return laden with a variety of manufactured articles from our crowded warehouses of Bir mingham and Sheffield. X Few Ntnble Hint.. There are very many horses which are made to suffer unnecessarily, or for a prolonged period, through the want of knowledge or neglect of the owner. During the work season what numbers of farm horses do we see with galled shoulders, which keep getting worse till the had condition of the collar and sad dle galls makes it necessary to stop work unfit they heal. If a horse has proper care, no galls will lie made by collar or saddle. The horse must be well and regularly cleaned each day, and ttje careful farm hand will give an^extra rubbing off, especially during warm weather, noon and night. Before com mencing work the harness and collar should he. made to fit properly ; if it is found that the animal shows signs of becoming galled, bathe the affected parts two or three times a day, but not while the animal is hot from work. And right here we would say that we have found that bathing the shoulders of work horses with water during the season of hard work, hardens the skin and prevents any liability to become chafed or galled. Prevention is always preferable to cure. A galled back, on account of the saddle being more apt t 0 chafe, is more difficulty to remedy,espec ially in driving horses. When a driving horse gets a sore hack under the carriage saddle, do not pad it heavily with rags, loosen up the bellybands, etc., expecting a cure that way, as some do, but dis. card the use f the saddle entirely till the animal is entirely well, which can be readily done by taking off the saddle, bringing the back strap up to the top of the harness, where it is fastened. For “tugs” or straps to hold up the shafts, use small straps with loops in them for the ends of the shafts, fastening the opposite ends of the straps to the eyes in the harness through which the lines go. Put on a choke strap, use a surcingle for a belly band to keep the shafts from slid ing up, and you have your rig complete. Wash the effected parts of the horse every morning with a soil sponge and good castile soap, after which apply a mixture of suet, fresh lard, and flower ol sulphur until the sore heals. If the animal’s blood is impure—which is readily seen by the condition or appearance of the sores---give a tablespoon ful of the flower •( sulphur—about two or three doses in as many different days—in a cut mess, taking care to prevent the horse from taking cold by driving fast anti then neglecting to cover, for the sulphur effects a purification of the bltsai through the (tores of the skin. For bruises and sprains on horses, the best anil simplest remedy we have found is crude coal oil, jus', as it came from the well with a small quantity of oil of spike mixed with it. Vigorous rubbing should accompany the application. Uonlnrh,, Hint. Urnss. t it late meeting of the New York farmers’ club, a Kentucky farmer said he hail had a great experience in growing blue grass —that it is one and the same with common s|H>ar grass, varying in size and appearance, according to the soil and latitude in whielt it grows. The plant is a light green color, and the spikelets are frequently variegated with bluish purple. It flowers iu June, but once a year, which recommends it for lawns. The produce is o diunrily small compared with other grasses, but the heritage is flue. It grows in a variety of soils from the dryest knolls tua wet meadow, but does not stand drouth so well as the orchard grass. It, endures the frosts of winter, however, better than all other grasses, and continues luxuriant through mild winters. Blue grass requires two or three years to become well set, and does not arrive at perfection as a pasture grass till the sward is older than three years, therefore it is not suited to alter nate husbandry or where the land is to remain in grass only a tew years. Blue grass should be cut as the seeds begin to open, spread well and protected from rains and dews; on the second day stock, shelter and salt.

Waffles.— One pound of butter melted in a quart of milk, ami ten eggs beaten light ; thicken the milk and but ter with sifted flour, and add the eggs aud a little salt: should be of consistence of pound cake batter; add enough yeast to make it rise, the quantity to he regulated by the quality of the yeast.

Washington, October 15.—The sen atom were early in their places, and the usual bustle attending the opening of a •esHion prevailed. The oath of office was administered to Stanley Mathews, of Ohio, elected in the place of John Sherman, resigned ; J. Don ald Cameron, of Pennsylvania, in the place of Simon Cameron, resigned; and D. H. Armstrong, appointed from Mis souri, vice L. V. Bogy, deceased. The usual committee was appointed to join the committee of the house and in form the president that a quorum of the two houses had assembled. Adjourned until 12 o’clock to-morrow. HOI.’SE OK REPEEBENTATIVES. Washington, October 15.—At 12 o’clock Mr. Adams called the house to order, read the president’s proclamation j convening congress, and called the roll of members bv states. When Louisiana | was reached the clerk made the follow j ing statement: There were received from the state of Louisiana credentials bearing date 20th ; December, 1876, and declaring certain j (H-rsons elected from the first, fourth ! and sixth districts, but silent as to the other districts. Inasmuch, however, as John McEmery was' never de facto governor of liouisiana, and never, in point of fact, exercised or performed the functions of that office, it is not deemed necessary to make here any statement concerning the regularity or irregularity of the credentials coming from that source. Another set of credentials was signed by Wm. Pitt Kellogg, as governor of Louisiana, with the seal of the state attached, all bearing different dates, and all of which reached the hands of the clerk through different channels, de claring i>ersons elected from each district except the second ; as to which district no certificate seems to have been issued by Gov. Kellogg to anyone. The law of Louisiana,prescribing the character of credentials,provides that as soon as pos sible after the expiration of the time of making returns of the election for repre sentatives in congress, a certificate of re turns Hhall be entered on record by the secretary of state, and signed by the gov ernor, and that a copy thereof subscribed by those officers shall lie delivered to the persons so elected, and another copy transmitted to the clerk of the house of representatives. These credentials, signed by Gov. Kellogg, are in no sense in com pliant* with the requirements of the law of lamisiana. They do not even purport to be a copy of the certificates. On the contrary, they are the simple declaration of Gov. Kellogg that certain persons were elected, without even stating the sources of his information, and they no more constitute credentials within . . the meaning of the law of Ixiuisiana, than a similar statement from the treas urer or other state official would. I hey cannot, therefore, be recognized by tfie clerk. The other set of credentials is i-igned by Gov. Nicholls and secretary of state Arrago, with the seal of the state attached. They declare persons elected in each of the districts of Louisiana, and conflict with the certificates signed by Gov. Kellogg, in reference to two dis tricts only. These credentials comply with the law of Lousiana in every re spect. and the clerk has accordingly placed on the roll the names of the per- aona contained in them. On motion of Mr. Wwxl, the house proceeded to the election of apeaker. Mr. Clyiner nominated Samuel J. Randall, and Mr. Hale nominated James A. Garfield. Messrs. Clymcr, Banninj', Fort and Foster were appointed tellers, and Mr. (’lymer announced the result: I'or I Samuel J. Randall, 149 votes; for James A. Garfield, 132; and Mr. Randall was declared elected. The speaker, before taking the chair, said : Gentlemen of the house of repre sentatives: —Elevated for the second time by your generosity to the exalted dignity of speaker of this house, 1 thank you with a grateful heart. I shall en deavor, with even temper, but with rigid firmness, to perform the dot ies of the office, and respond adequately to the confidence reposed in me to conforming my action to the clearly expressed will of the house. Yet fully realizing the delicacy and difficulty of the position, 1 solicit your advice and assistance, feeling assured at the same time of your for bearance and indulgence. We meet un der circumstances imperiously demand ing that all considerations of class and section or party shall be subordinate to the loftier and more patriotic object of doing what is l>est for the whole coun try and all its people. Since ad journment an administration has been inducted into office, which is obeyed ns the actual government, regardless of the grave events which marked its birth. And this house, ani mated by a true spirit of patriotism, desiring, first, public tranquility, under law, will frankly approve any sin' ere, permanent policy looking to complete pacification by constitutional methods, and to tiie consequent promotion of the general welfare; but it should b held our sacred duty to provide legislation which will render impossible a repetition of the wrongs which have occurred, and of the dangers which threaten us. I as sume that we will take no step backward in the work of retrenchment and reform so auspiciously begun by the last house. Under matured and definite plans of reduction of the expenses of the govern ment, it is certain that still greater reductions can be made without im pairing the efficiency of its adminis tration. To have an honest adminis tration it should lie frugal. Never was it more urgent than now, with the general financial distress and with labor depressed with heavy bur j dens, to exercise the sternest economy, I when the iron rule of hard necessity darkens every household in the land, ex travagance on the part of the people's servants is an unpardonable crime. It is partly because of that wholesome pol icy so faithfully carried out that 1 am | permitted this day to speak from this i place, invoking for our deliberations that 1 tolerance of opinion which secures har ! monious action, right and clear judg- I ment. which purifies legislation, and that mutual confidence and respect shall sub sist betweeu the house and its presiding officer. I am now ready to take the oath pre scribed by law. The oath of office was administered to the speaker, who then administered the oath to the members. Most of the south ern members took the qualified oath. Objection was made to sw earing in of Messrs. Gain and Rainey, of South Caro lina. Messrs. Daily. Fly and Robertson, of Louisiana, and Mr. Pacheco, ot Cali fornia, and those members stood aside. Mr. Clymer offered a resolution elect ing as eierk. Geo. M. Adams, of Ken tucky : sergeant-at-arms. John G. Thomp son, of Ohio; doorkeeper, John W. Polk, of Missouri; postmaster. James M. Stewart, of Virginia, and as chaplain. Rev. Dr. John Poise!, of Maryland, and the resolution was adopted without a division. , . . 1 The oath of office was then adminis tered to these officers, Messrs. Stewart and Polk taking a modified oath. Committees were then appointed to in form the senate of the organization of the house, and to inform the president that the house is ready to receive any communication be may desire to make. Adjourned. = ! The Arms of the Turks. There seems to be seme misconception of the American arms used by the Turks with such effect in their contest with Russia. The Worcester Spy points out some of the errors into which its con temporaries have fallen. The peculiari ties of the Hen y-Martini rifle are confounded with those of the Winchester repeating rifle (heretofore called the Henry repeating rifle), in vented by an American army officer named Henry. The Winchester has a magazine under the barrel which holds fifteen charges. The Henry-Martini rifle was invented by Alexander Henry, of Edinburgh, Scotland. It is his rifle, with the Martini action ; but it can not lie discharged sixteen times without re loading; on the contrary, it is loaded with a single cartridge in a metallic case. This rifle can be fired from thirty eight to forty times a per minute and is celebrated for its accuracy at long range —twenty successive shots at 1,200 yards have been put in a target of 2j feet. It is the Winchester that repeats without reloading. The Turkish army is equipped with the Henry-Martini rifles, manufactured by the Providence Tool company, which has been making them for the Turkish government for years. They are made by no other manufacturers in the United States, we believe. The first contract was for 200,000; it was extended to 400,- 000, and then to 600,000, and now, ac cording to rumor, it has been extended to 800,000. The Tool company, for reasons, now call the rifle the I’eabody- Martini. Jacob Meeker and Laura Kverett visited Adrian, Mich., a few nights ago and were married at midnight by a jus tice of the peace. While the justice was making out the certificate the jolly Meeker said: “I have got four or five of them tilings lying around now, some where. Tne last wife I had didn’t keep more than two or three years, and I shan’t want you more than a year or two.” Thus meekly spike Meeker to his blush ing bride, but Mrs. Meeker was ready with a repartee, even meeker than Meek er’s observation. “ You needn’t worry,’ said she, “ the shoe may be on the other hoof.” 1111 \S to UrnH' < iHM’l’flll. Disease in in a great many—perhaps the majority —of instances the underlying cause of mental depression. It will almost invaria bly be found, for instance,that hypochondri acs arc dyspeptics, bilious subjects, and all persons who have had any experience of such cases are aware that sufferers from diseases of the kidneys and bladder are especially subject to fits of despondency. The sure way to overcome depression is to try a course of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, a cheering cordial which is peculiarly antagonistic to the “blues,” as well as to thj causes which produce them. This popular and efficacious corrective of a disordered condition of the system remedies the most obstinate cases of indigestion, biliousness and constipation, overcomes the disorders of the uniary organs, p untie* and enriches the blood, and restores vigor to the body as well as elasticity to the mind.
