As many persons seem to try to see how little fruit they can make their apples trees bear, and also seem to take pride in growing worthless varieties, ] will give such men a lew hints to a’d them in their endeavors to render their orchards of no value : First, crop the land where the trees are to be set till there is no ferilily left in it. A good test of that state is to plant a few hills of white beans on it ; and if it fails to grow any pods of these beans, the land is in the right condition. Next sec that the fences are down around the field, so that your own and neigh bors’ cattle can come in when the trees are planted, and browse on them, which will save you the, expense of trimming them once a year. in buying your trees ask your nursery man if he lias a "‘cheap lot" and say you arc setting trees for the use of others when you are dead, and that you are not going to pay out much money for them; and lie will call your attention, probably, to a worthless lot of tiees, not labeled, and such as will suit you exactly, being varieties that have been condemned by horticultural societies as worthless. He will say : “ Yes, here is a splendid lot of fine, straight trees —labels are lost—got mixed—excellent sorts—will sell them at your own price.” .Such trees you can get “ for a song mid while you are alive, as you are well advanced in years, it will be just the name as if they were the best varieties in existence, so you should order your nurseryman to dig them up, and you will come lor them. J >on’l tell him to have them dug up care fully, and with as many roots as possible, because you want the load as small as possible, and short, shabby roots are easily set. When you got the trees loaded upon your wagon, don't throw anything over the roots to keep them from the rays of sun, and the drying wind ; and when you get home, select a sunny place to throw down the trees, and be sure not to set them till next day. If any one advises you to ‘'heel in” the tree till planted, tell them you have heard of such boh before from the “ bosk farmers.” In selling the trees, let your hired man do it, while you take the world easy at the village tavern. Tell him to dig the holes ns small as possible, and not let the roots in ; that if they can’t go in spread out as they grew naturally, to curl them up in a circle, to put the yellow, lower earth around the roots, and the dark, tortile soil where it does not come in contact with them in the least. You should also tell him not to be particular nlsmt tilling in earth in the cavities between the roots, also not to press the earth upon them, and lie sure not to water the trees, tin tas a rain sets in. Lastly, say to him : “ John, I want you to hurry up this work. The e are only one hundred trees to set, ami 1 will give you till six o’clock to-night to set them.” Another point: You have undoubtedly read or heard that it is a good plan to manure and cultivate the land whore your trees are set, but don’t do it, localise this advice is found in the papers ; and you don’t want to follow any such unre liable rules for the management of an orchard. If yotjr father or grandfather slid a thing, you should follow their examples. Above all, don't subscribe mr an agricultural or a horticultural l>aper as they cost from one to two <lolars a year, and for that sum you and your whole family could roe a circus performance which you would remember b” lifetime /-’trr.nrV Friend. 11l nit *hiit £ t elcrt. A writing on the subject oi celery fur winter use said that aft. r the plants well rooted he draws the earth up around them a little, to give au upright growth. When the night* become cool and the tall rains set in he ties each bunch up with hark of other material, ready to be stored away for I'leaching, lhis should be done just bo fore the cold weather begins, and in the following manner . Itig a trench about two feel wide and as deep as the celery is high, lake up the plant* carefully and pack them in the trench without breaking the stalks: cover the trench with five or sis inches of dry straw and add twelve or more iuches of earth. The celery can lie taken irotn the trenches as needed during the winter, fir it will be bleached in a fen weeks. Another correspondent wrote that he make* his trench mi deep that, with all the earth thrown out, the extreme tops of the plants only ap ear above the sur face. Digging the piauts up one by one, he places them with what earth adhere* to them as thick . - they cs-i stand, at:d fiil* about each plant with earth nearly to their lops, being careful that none of the sotl enter- and covers the crown if the riant within. Next to the plan Is on either hide a barricade i> made, to keen the water from entering and treeing in cold weather, of l>ru- i c o'ene-l with any litur that wid keep wst- r out. When pekrv is wanted. r :t j the trench and take out enough to !a>t several days, and cover again securely. A member added in conclusion that some farmers find autumn leaves covered over the entire bed about two feet deep, with corn stalks laid over them to keep them secure, a sufficient protection. Others, again, use sawdust for late crops to be kept during the winter, banking up in the usual manner and adding the sawdust. A general saying in some lo calities is, that the blacker the earth in which celery is grown the whiter it will bleach. Drain Sin ks hikl rollon Ituics. in an interesting paper on jute culture | in the report from the department of agriculture for 1870, it is stated that the j quantity of cereals and vegetables re | quiring to be sacked before they can be | sent to market in the United States is I largely more than 1 ~100,000,000 bushels. | If it were necessary to renew these hags every year, it would cost for grain pulse, grass seeds and potato sacks over one hundred million dollars. Add to this the gunny cloth or other strong material necessary to hold four million hales of cotton, or more, with no return of bag ging, and we getan inkling of the annual consumption of fillers to wrap and bold a part ot our agricultural production. Considering the facility with which hemp flax and jute may be raised as well as cotton, it seems surprising that we should pay thirty million dollars a year for imported fillers. We consume over 100,000,00 b pounds of jute a year; and it is believed that we ean raise thiH article much cheaper than it costs when imported. In 1876 the mills of St. Ixiuis alone manufactured 2,000,000 yards of jute bagging. In one sense, this is a newspaper enterprise; for during the last five years one hundred and seventy million pounds of imported jute were made into paper in the United States. The department of agriculture truely says: “It is a costly improvi dence to pay to other nations for staples which we can raise and manufacture ns cheaply as they can.” It is time to drain our rich swamp lands, levee rivers and creeks, and draw millions of gold and health from a bottom that .now yield nothing better than malaria, pestilence and poverty. Virginia Tobneco. The Baltimore Bulletin, relerring to tiio Hlate’a interview with the tobacco men of Richmond, very windy says : “ If wo substitute for the misnomer ‘ over production’ th© true phrase, pitching larger crops than they have force to till, wo will come at the real source of th© decline in reputation of Virginia tobacco. The following of that sort of husbandry is that it destroys all the profits. A Connecticut river farmer puts his last year’s onion patch into tobacco—a lot of two or three acres at the outside—and makes more of it than the south-side planter makes from a hundred acres.” I.OMM of Cflttlo ill |:il|*(|M*. Telegrams to the,St. Petersburg papers stale that the cattle disease, which du ring the present summer has wrought dire havoc among the herds on the south ern steppes, has now reached the Polish provinces, and is rapidly approaching the frontier. The losses sustained by the Russian peasantry since the plague crossed the Ural mountains two years ago are immense. News is telegraphed from Tillis that the authorities fear that the unparalleled prevalence of the plague has caused the ent ire bovine race of Cau casia to become extinct. .Sclocliiiii Corn. It is not too late yet to go through the field and select the best matured ears for seed. The ears best filled out should always lie taken for seed, it is just as important to have well rounded up ears for seed as it is to have well formed stock to breed front. ’Jhe ears thus selected should bo put in a dry place till thor oughly dried out, and then they may he stored away in bulk. A little of this work in season, sometimes, may fre quently save s groat deal of vexation, delay and loss when the crop season re turns. Corn is generally sound and well matured this season, and it will not l>e hard to make good select ions of oars for seed. Tlm Household I’ akku SwF.imtßF.Ai>.—Parboil; then let them soak in cold water for fifteen or twenty minutes; wipe them dry, place them in a dripping pan with plenty of butter; baste them soften with the melted butter until they are done. Do not waste your soap suds. If the hogs will not drink, as it is very beneficial to them, give it to the grape vines. While stable manure is injurious, soap suds is the best fertilizer yet discovered, except bone meal, for grape vines. Onk ef the most agreeable materials for curtaining windows is coarse un bleached cotton. The irregularity of the thread and the muchness of the surface gives its soft fold much of the charm of a Russia crash, and its hue warms the light of cool windows almost to the glow of sunshine. A certain way to keep ants from sugar barrels, lard cans, and preserve jsrs, says one who ha, tried it, is to tie a string wet with kerosene around the har rel, can, or jar. Repeat the wetting of the string with the kerosene oil every few days. li> Or re the Orotic —The following i- said to be an excellent remedy for the croup : Take one tvaspoonful of pulver iad alum, one of sulphur and the whites of two eggs; mix ail well together and put it in a small piece of muslin and hold it up and let the water drip from it; and then give to a child, say sixteen years old, one teaspoou ul in a little mint tee. i r any pleasant tea ; and smaller children less, say half a teaspoonful for five years old, and less for younger, all in tea. Molasses Fruit Cake.—One pound ! of sugar and three-quarters of a pound of butter, beaten to a cream. Slightly warm two cups of molasses and mix well with the butter and sugar; next the well-beaten yelks of six eggs and half a cup of sour cream ; one teaspoonful of cinnamon and one of cloves; one tea spoonful of ginger if desired ; two pounds of sifted flour, with the well-beaten whites of six eggs; one heaping tea spoonful of soda, dissolved in hot water, and at the last one pound of raisins, seeded and chopped ; one pound of cur rants, well washed and dried. Flour the fruit well before mixing. Bake in two bread pans in a slow oven. Yeast Cakes from One Cake —Dis solve the cake in two cupfuls of water ; when dissolved, stir in flour enough for thick hatter, and set in warm place to rise; when risen well, which will be in from three to nine hours, mix it stiff enough to roll out with white Indian meal; roll thin, cut into souare cakes, and dry on your bread-board. Roly-Poly Pudding.—Take a quart of flour, rub into it three tablespoonfuls of lard ; roll it out, cut into four pieces; place a lump of butter on each ; flour well; place one above another, then roll out again about six inches wide and twelve long; take some preserve, (plum is best,) spread it on pretty thick, wet the edge of the paste to make it stick closely, then roll it over and over; tia it up se curely in a well-floured cloth, boil two hours, and serve with nice melted butter. To Make and Keep Soup Stock.— Take a leg or shin of beef, put it to boil in a gallon of water —or if very large in gallon and a half; boil it steadily, but not fast, until all the strength is boiled from the meat; then strain it and put it to cool, when the fat must be skimmed off and the jelly can be taken out in small portions when soup is needed, and the vegetables added, or whatever is liked for variety ; but if the vegetables are boiled with the stock it is apt to become sour by keeping. Should the stock be wanted brown it is well to fry some of the meat before boiling. A Ciuwd Story on Joaquin Miller. Now comes the news that the erratic poet of the Sierras is nearing Washington. In anticipation of his coming I heard two ladies discussing him. “ He is the softest, silliest dunce with women—too foolish to respect. I had such an admiration of his splendid pootiy, and when I was in troduced to Joaquin Miller he said in the most affected way, ‘ The dear, little white hand; hww beautiful!’ and in a few moments told me to put my hand in my muff out of his sight or he should go mad.” At a dinner party, or lunch, to which ho was invited by a literary lady of Washington, the lady of the house told him site had made and baked the bread herself. “ Very good bread, ma’am, but 1 am used to better ; I can make better myself. 1 was brought up to it. T like it with a good, thick crust on the bottom. This hasn’t it: it isn’t baked on the bot tom.” The lady, much confused, inti mated that it was pretty good bread fora blue-stocking to make, she thought, and site had prided herself on it. ‘‘Oh, it’s very good bread, Rbove the average, but 1 could make better.” A young lmly present, tingling with mortification at his rudeness, asked him innocently, a few moments after, “ Mr. Miller, have any of your poems been published ?” This question, at the time when the whole world was filled with talk of Miller’s “ Songs of the Sierras,” staggered the eccentric genius. He assured iter they had appeared in bonk form, and showed his chagrin at such a question, asked by the prettiest girl in the room. He did not know site escaped giggling, with some of her friends, to the other room as sown as lunch was served. “ I was bound 1 would take him down,” said the jeweled maiden, laughing tilt the tears filled her eyes, at the thought of Miller's confusion. ” The conceited ape, he shall never know that I can repeat half his lovely verses from memory. He is a jHiet, but a fool.” Such is tne conversation that I over heard. Can it be possible that this pert beauty's story of Joaquim is correct? That the dashing horseman that i saw this summer riding like mad through Saratoga streets, or laying his bright tresses in the perfumed air around Frank Leslie’s “Interlaken” on the banks of Saratoga Lake, is in private conversation a very boor? That his per sonnel repels, as his genius attract* ? Poor Joaquin —fierv-souled, not bound by bands of etiquette, like other mortals. 1 understand that he folded his cloak about him and said he didn’t want to see those people, and stalked moodily from the house, where a crowd had been in vited to meet him. At another time he entered a lady’s parlor, and kicked his shoes off in the i corner, and sat in his stocking feet. “Oh, Mr. Miller, 1 want to introduce a vouug lady to you.” “You had better introduce me to the young lady if you know anything about politeness,” he blurted. These are the mere eccentricities of genius; the finer feelings of a tuneful soul, which Minnie Myrtle and those four babies jarred too roughly iu their western home. Now loosed from all do mestic bonds, lie soars aloft, and. singing as he goes, delights the multitude who, when he conies to earth, are dared to find him the commonest barn-yard fowl.— Washington Cor.

IJncolu** Offer of the Command of the I’nited Maten Army to Ueo. I^ee. As confirmatory of the incident gven by Hon. Allan B. Magruder in the Weekly Times of to-day, allow me to say 1 that the letter which he gives from Gen. I, Pe to Hon. Reverdy Johnson was found by me not long after Gen. Lee’s death in his private letter book, copied in his own well-known hand-writing. By the kind ness of the family I was allowed to copy the letter and publish it, in 1874, in my “Personal Reminiscences, Anecdotes and letters of Gen. R. E. Lee” (pp. 141- 142), where I also gave the testimony of Mr. Montgomery Blair and other proofs that the supreme command of the United States army was offered Col. Lee before he left Washington. 1 once heard .Mrs. Lee speak freely of this event in the life of her husband,and a gentleman of high standing in Mew York, has told me that in an interview which he had with Gen. Scott in April, 1861, he spoke in the very highest terms of Lee’s ability as a soldier and charac ter as a man; told him the supreme command of the United States army was offered him, and said that he (Scott) would have cheerfully given place to ‘‘the ablest soldier in America” if he could have induced him to accept. The proofs are conclusive that when Robert E. Lee cast his lot with his mother state, he turned his back on the highest position that an American soldier could covet, and deliberately .those the path of sacrifice, peril and loss of this world’s goods, lie cause, in his judgment, it was the path of duty and of honor. In June, 1868, he said to his trusted lieutenant, the gallant and accomplished Gen. Wade Hampton: “ I did only what my duty demanded; I could have taken no other course without dishonor. And if all were to be done over again, 1 should act in precisely the same man ner.” Men will differ as to the course which Gen. Lee thought proper to pursue in siding with Virginia and the south in the great struggle, but no fairminded man - an examine the proofs and doubt for a moment that lie acted from the purest motives—from the highest sense of duty and honor.
