As Or- hard h/illlwr,
Chip nun*, u;a * correspondent, ia
tee beet fertiliser to use in setting out
fruit tree*. Wemade nae of the material
for the first time some twenty years ago
in planting on apple orchard, and it was
a wonder to those not in the secret what
caused the trees to make such a fine
growth the first season, and afterward,
too, for that matter. This experiment
was so satisfactory that when we set ont
our new orchard we made a liberal use
of this material, with same satisfactory*
result. These trials hare proved to our
satisfaction that chip dirt is the very
best material to mix in the soil vs you
plant the tree that can possibly be used
for the reason that it nolds moisture,
and is full of the elements of plant food;
therefore, it promotes a most luxuriant
growth.
" Itorterlag’’ Sana Animal..
It is a poor practioo to be continually
dosing animals. When we see a farmer
frequently visiting the drug store for
medicines for his stock, tho impression
is. that there is something radically
wrong in his management. He is the
"sick one,’’ and needs the aid of a good
physician—some one to show him that
sickness rarely happens on a well
ordered farm; that clean, warm stables,
and plenty of good feed, pure water in
abundance, etc., are far better than
their opposites, with all tho physio that
the jargest drug store can' supply.
Nothing is more clearly proved than the
importance of care and keeping of the
right sort for the health of farm animals
and their profitable growth and increase.
Sickness will sometimes oome with the
very best management, nnd when it
does, it is better to employ skilled
hands to cure than to “doctor” and
“physic,” and perhaps kill the valuable
animal, yourself, that under projier
treatment might havo been saved at a
trifling gxpense.—ripricat/fttrisf.
I<rvel I'altarr.
This subject is thus discussed by a
writer in the A meriinn Former: At the
beginning of farm life, in order to learn
the most improved methods, I employed
a first-class farmer and gardener, fresh
from England. He persisted in a mode
of cultivation precisely the reverse of
wlist I had been used to see—allowing
■» the mangels and Bugar beets, corn, pota
toes, pens, beans, cucumbers, melons,
tomatoes, cabbages, etc., to go without
hilling up. The mangels and sugar-
beets stood high above the ground, thy
bulbous parts exposed to the sun, mane
of the mangels falling over and growing
crooked. The part of the ououmbers
above ground, which I insisted was
rather a root than a stem, and should be
surrounded by earth, was It ft entirely
exposed to the sun. I thought that the
sun would parch the roots and they
would break or be injured when the
stem should fall from the upright to a
horizontal position.
The Englishman would have his way,
but n greed I should treat some of each-
tort of plants in iqy own way. So a few
of all sorts were hilled up and fully as
well worked in other respects as his,
daring the season. For a few weeks
mine grew as well as his, and the encum
bers, peas, etc., bloomed aa early. After
one gathering of encumbers, peas, etc.,
and the dry season set in, mine perished,
while his continued to bloom and bear ;
and so of the melons. My potatoes iqade
about half a crop of small tnbers, dng
' from dry hills ; bis yielded bounteously
of large ones, dng from moist earth, at
■\ the same time in the same Hold. Bo with
I the mangels, sngar-bet'WL etc. The
L hilled peas, heaps, et*., fa* ml early in
the season, and Miocnnjhed to the
drouth. Without this ■'experience, it
one had said that billing up growing
I dnnts would kill them, I should have
oined in the response of a million
farmers, denouncing it as false and con
trary to experience, because they did
not perish on the day that they were
hilled np. Ever since I have avoided
hilling and ridging about growing plants,
and cultivated the soil os levelly us pos
sible.
Cnrr of Ewe. suit l.anth*.
,T. £. Killelirew. in his work on
“Hheep Husbandry," gives the follow
ing advico in regard to the feeding o'
ewes and lambs : While a owe is suck
ing her lamb her food should be of the
most generous character. Good olover
or blue grass pastures should be supple
mented with bran, oats, corn or meal,
and, in fact, if good lambs are expected,
and early ones, the dam must be ex
tremely well fed, as the food of the
lamb must be derived from the mother,
and if she has not the food she cannot
. be a free milker. Roots mixed with
’ bran, oats, oilcake meal or grain will
aid.materially in the flow of milk. Tea
straw is a favorite food for ewes, and it
has more nourislunent in it than any
other kind of bay, as will be seen by a
reference to the analysis. As soon as
tho lamb is large enough to notice other
food besides its dam’s milk it should be
tempted to eat a little wheat bran
sprinkled in a trongh, such as is men
tioned in a previous chapter, or somo
bright, sweet clover hay will bo apt to
get a nibble. After it once begins to
feed this way you can make • it weigh
heavier and grow more rapidly than it
would on its dam’s milk alone. A lamb
that is pushed heavily by au abundance
of food for the first three months will
show itself by producing large, vigor
ous sheep, while, on the contrary, if it
is stinted of food for that time it be
comes dwarfed and will never mako a
good healthy sheep. All animals whose
maturity is hastened will lie stronger,
thriftier and longer lived thun one that
hus been half starved in its growth. Be
sides, they make far better breeders.
Should the pasture be bordered by a
corn field it is a good plan, and one that
is followed by many good fanners, to
make a hole under the fence large
enough to admit tho lamb, and yet with
hold the sheep, into the corn field, pro
vided the corn is tall enough to prevent
the lambs from nibbling oil' the bud.
They will eat tho voung, tender shoots
or suckers and tno bottom blades of
fodder that burn up and are lost any
way, and will not injure tho corn. In
this way they will be materially assisted
in their growth and maturity. Should
there not be a field or pasture to aid the
lambs a pen should be provided adjoin
ing tho “run” of the ewes, with au ar
rangement to admit the lambs, in wlii.di
irougns are provided, kept lined with
bran, meal and anything calculated to
to aid in pushing the lamb.
Ncabby !.*■(. In Poultry.
The unsightly disease which affects
the legs of fowls, causing them to swell
and to become distorted, is due to a
mite, a small insect which is similar in
appearance to that which causes scab in
sheep. It is roundish oval and semi-
traaspr.rent, about onc-eight hundredth
of an inch in length, appearing; when
igcified. 400 diameters, about half an
inch long. It die scales from the lege
of s diseased fowl ore beneath the mi-
eroscope a number of theee mites may
be found between them. Beneath the
eoalee there are s spongy, scabby growth,
in whioh the eggs and pnpe of the mites
are to be seen in great nnmbere. The
pupie are very similar in sme to the
mature mites, but are very much smaller,
appearing when viewed with the above-
mentioned power, about one-tenth of an
inoli in length. The disease being of a
similar character to the scab in sheep, !
or the mange in dogs and cattle, it may
be cured by the same treatment. If this
disagreeable affection is suffered to re
main in the flook while one fowl is
troubled with it, it will certainly spread,
as tho mites will burrow beneath tho
scales of the other fowls. If preean'ioris
were generally need the parasite could
soon been exterminated. It should be
made a disqualification at poultry shows
for fowls to be affected with scabby legs
or feet iu any degree whatever, /or we
know that several poultry yards are not
free from this disease, and whenever
affected fowls are sent out disease goes
vith them.—American Agriculturist.
llontM’holil Hint*.
Grained wood should be washed with
eold tea.
In boiling eggs put them in boiling
water. It will prevent the yoke from
coloring black. f
Ceilings that have keen smoked by a
kerosene lamp should be washed off
with soda water.
Cream that is to be whipped should
not lie butter croam, lest in whipping it
change to butter.
Balt extracts the juices of meat in
cooking. Bteak8 ought therefore not to
bo salted until they have been broiled.
Cultivate a tendency to bake things
too much rather than too little, until
yon learn to strike tho happy mean anil
get them just right.
To beat the white of eggs quickly put
in a pinch of salt. The cooler the eggs
the quicker they will froth, Balt cools
and also freshens them.
When baking cake in a long tin lino
the sides and ends as well as tno bottom
with stiff white paper ; you can then
lift the cake ont without breaking it,
nnd can also be perfectly sure to bake it
tborongbly in the middle without burn
ing it anywhere else.
Rtrtim,
Haki> Soap.— A lady subscriber asks
ns to send a recipe for soap. We hope
the following, which we take from an
oxchange, will provo satisfactory:
Twelve pounds of grease, twelve pounds
of sal soda, six pounds of lime,. Put
eight gallons of warm water on the lime
and soda; let it stand over night, and
in the morning pour it carefully on the
grease. Put mors water on the lime to
fill up with as it boils. Boil two hours.
If the grease is very salt it must be
freshened. Cut in cakes and leave in
the air to dry.
Baked Apclp, Pitomno.—One-half
pound of the pnlp of apples; one-half
pound of loaf sugar , six ounces of but
ter ; the rind of one lemon ; six eggs ;
puff paste. Peel, core, and cut the
apples as for sauce; put them into a
stew-pan with fresh water enongh to
keep them from burning, and let them
stew until reduced to a pnlp. Weigh
the pulp and to every one-naif pound
add sifted sngar, grated lemon peel and
six well-beaten oggs. Beat well to
gether ; add the butter melted; put a
border of puff paste round the dish and
bake for little over half an hour. Do
not add the butter till the pudding is
ready for the oven. Sufficient for five
or six people.
Bervtoo Veoetableh.—One of the
most delicious ways to 'serve the early
vegetables is this: Take new potatoes
and yonng lieets, boil nntil done in
separate kettles, then slice into the
dish in whioh they are to be put on the
table; first put a layer of potatoes,
3 >rinklcd with pepper and salt and
ttle lumps of butter, then a layer of
beots, treated in the same way, and so
on until tho dish is full, then pour over
all a little sweet cruam, or milk, if yon
cannot get criam, only a little, not
enongh to make a sloppv sort of
dish, but so that there will bo a few
spoonfuls in the bottom of the dish,
which every one will wish for. Tills,
with a tender, juicy beefsteak, cooked
on a wire gridiron over coals, a tempting
salad, good brood and butter and iced
tea, with some very light dessert, makes
a dinner for which one mav be thankful.
Green Goohkueuiiieh ion Tarts.—Fill
very clean, dry, wide-necked bottles
with gooseberries picked the same day,
in dry weather, and just before they
have attained their full size. Wrap a
little hay round each bottle, and thon
set them up to their necks in a boiler
of cold water, which should bo brought
very gradually to boil; a little hoy must
be put in the bottom of tbo boiler, and
tbe bottles fixed firmly. Let the fruit
simmer gently until it appears shrunken
and perpectly scalded, then take out
tbe bottles, and fill up as many as you
can quite full with some of the cooked
gooseberries—it is generally necessary
to sacrifice one of the bottles in doing
this, taking care not to break tho fruit.
Directly tho bottles are full of goose
berries, pour boiling water into tbe
bottles up to tbo brims, else they will
mildew. Tie bladder over the tops im
mediately, und beep the bottles in a dry,
cool place. When tho gooseberries are
used, pour off tbo greater part of the
water, and add tho same sugar as for
frosh fruit, of whioh they ought to have
the same flavor and appearance. Pre
pared in this way, gooseberries me per
fectly wholesome, and will keep until
tho fruit comes in again.

FAMOUS MISERS.
Cirtwn Characteristic* at Raw Mca Netad
ht Their Praarlcecaeca.
Avarice, it has been justly said, ia a
weed that will grow in barren soil; it
is generally ft und in those who have
few good qnalitiee to reoommend them.
One old writer says it may be termed
the grand sepulcher of all the other
passion*, aa they suoceesively decay.
But unlike other tombe, it is enlarged
by repletion and strengthened by sge.
Moore, the poet, uptake of it as
That latest folly of man's sinking ago.
Which, rarely venturing in the vsn of life, /
While noNer passions wage their heated strlf.',
Oomcs skulking I ant, with selflahnvss am* fear,
And dim, collecting lumber in the roar.
The lives of ill tbo celebrated misers
will be found much the same in these
particulars: They were very seldom
married, they wero unsocial, though
sometimes fond o! animal pets; they
maintained existence on food, the quan
tity and qnality of which a dog would
havo objected to; they were very seldom
stirred to tho slightest degree of be
nevolence, and they noarly always dis
appointed tho expectations of their
heirs.
Bnt there are some exceptions to
these general rules. Barrow, iu his
travels, mentions having seen a Dutch
miser near the Cape of Good Hope. He
was stall old man, with a thin, sallow
visage, and a Iteanl of dingy black,
that, extending to the eyes, whero it
met the straggling hair of the forehead,
obscured the face like a visor. Living
with him as his wife was an old Hot
tentot woman, nearly 100 years old.
Avarice seemed to run in the family,
for he hail a brother and sister who lived
several miles off among the mountains
who were equally parsimonious.
In tho beginning of this centnry there
wss an eld man named W. Fuller, who
lived with his son in a hut, consisting
of two chandlers and » sitting room.
Their allowance of food was a mutton
chop apieco, and a pint of porter
between the two, for tho day—thu last
being a luxury they could not go with
out, proving that appetite was stronger
than will. They went to bed in the
dark. Old Fuller ,w*s a tmnker, and re
tained his clerks on low Salaries by
promising them legacies when he died.
But the promises wore not fulfilled ; he
wrote his will on tho back of an old
letter, and loft all hta property, worth
81,000,000, to his son.
That the hoarding of money has
given actual pleasure to these poor
wretches there can be no doubt. It
stands to reason it must be so, or they
would hardly throw up their interost iw
both worlds:
"First starved in thia, thru ilamiiM in that to
oomo."
.Teremj Tnvlpr, a famous miser, used
to say if hia Successors hod as muoh
pleasure in spending his property as he
had in hoarding it up they need not
oomplain of their hard lot in the world.
Mention is made of a miser in Venice
whose poise quickened as in a fotW on
hearing a largo sum of money men
tioned. He was a Catholic, ana made
the sign of the cross with a gold coin.
He had chests full of gold, each named
after some saint, and decorated them on
saints’ days. When dying, he requeeted
the spectators to withdraw from tho
room a few moments. They did so. On
returning they found the old man lying
dead on a large bag, both his hands
clutching a piece of gold. This calls to
mind tbe case of Henry Beaufort, car
dinal of Winchester, who cried out on
his death bed : “Fye, will not death
be hired, and will money do nothing?
Must I die that have such groat riohes?
If the whole realm of England would
save my life, I am able, either by poj^
icy to get ft, or by riches to buy it I* -
The death of the miser Foscoe, who
amassed an immense fortune by usury
and taking every advantage he could of
the necessities of the unfortunate, was
dramatically appropriate. For reasons
of safety he dug a holo in tho ground
and secreted his treasure there; he
made a trap door with a spring look,
and would go down daily to gloat over
bis savings. He lived a solitary life,
but one day liis neighbors remarked
that he had not been seen for an nnusn-
ally long time. Thcv mode search for
him through the house, the woods, and
in tho ponds, but failed to find him.
Years afterward, when workmen were
repairing tbe house, they came across
the secret cave in the cellar. On open
ing it they found Foscoo’s remains amid
heavy bags of untold treasures ; he had
died with tbe object of bis devotion.
The methods by which misers have
accumulated their huge fortunes are
much tbe samo ; it was by saving, rather
thun by muking money, that they be
came rich, Daniel Dancer dined on
two or three boiled oggs and warmed
np his cold pancakes that were left over
by carrying them in his pocket. Elwes,
who was worth nearly $1,000,000, carried
old bodes in bis pocket, taking them
out to his farm to boused as fertilizers.
Another miser used to boil a piece of
beef and fourteen hard dumplings on
Sunday; that would be tbe allowance
of food for himself and sister for the
week. Dancer saved on soap, never
using it or towels; ho washed himself
in tho river and dried himself in the
sun. Ho used to beg a pinch of snuff,
putting it in a box he carried with him.
This he exchanged for a farthing candle,
which lasted until the box was again
filled. Ho used an old meal sack for a
shirt and a bundle of straw for a pillow.
Bnt he was singularly generous to bis
dog, to whom be allowed a pint of milk
a day. He efted worth 8500,000.
There was a celebrated miser named
Andley; who lived in the time of the
Stuarts and whoso keenness as a business
man was remarkable. He was origin
ally employed as a clerk at six shillings
a week, and in t.he course of a few years,
by dint of tho economical practices that
come natural to persons of his ilk, had
accumulated sufficient to engage in
speculation. His habit was to but bud
d bts for a trifle and afterward com
pound with the insolvent. An anecdote
will illustrate his method : A tradesman,
Miller, owed a merchant named White
£200. and seeing no other chance to ob
tain it (Miller being insolvent), sued
for the amount. Andley goes to White
and offers him £40 for the debt; the
merchant accepts. Then the miser goes
to Miller and obtains his quittance of
the debt for £50 U)ton the condition
that, he pays for tho accommodation.
The insolvent signed tho contract, which
he thon,"lit was offered in a benevolent
spirit. The contract was that he should
pay to AudJey, twenty years from that
time, one penny consecutively doubled,
on the fiist day of twenty consecutive
months; failing, to pay a fine of £500.
Miller, acquitted of his debt, arranged
with his creditors and commenced hnsi-
ness. Two or three years afterward the
miser began to call for his installments,
and Miller found on calculating that on
the first of the twentieth month he
would have to pay £2,880; so he refused
the payment of his liond and gave Aud-
ley the £500 forfeit.
Vandille, a remarkable French miser,
was at one time the mayor of Boulogne,
and while in that position partly maia-
tained himself by being Bilk taster gen
eral at the market; while munching a
•crap of bread he wonldjparteke of theee
gratuitous draughts. He always trav
eled to Paris on foot, and, fearful less
he should bo robbed, took good cafe to
never have more than throe pence ia his
pocket; if he needed more money he
begged on the road. By such methods,
and lending money to the French Gov
ernment, he niado a fortnne of £800,000,
sprang from a single shilling. During
the very ookl winter of 1.734 he found it
necessary to purchase some extra tael,
and endeavored to lieat down tbs WoW
merchant in his prieo. The man drove
off, and Vandille stolen a few logs from
the back of the cart. In hastening awgy
with them ho became overheated and
contracted a bail fever. He sent for tha
surgeon, telling him he wanted to be
bied. As tho surgeon charged half a
Uvre, whioh was considers <1 too much,
a barber was ceded in, who agreed in
open a vein for threepence. "Bnt,
friend,” said the cautions miser, "bo*
often will it be requisite to bleed me F.’
“Three times,” replied the barber.
“Three times! And, pray, what quan
tity of blood do you intend to take from
me at each operation 7” “About eight
ounces each time.” “That will be nine-
pence ; too much I too much 1 I know
a cheaper way : take the whole twenty-
four ounces at once, and that will save
me sixpence.” He saved the sixpence,
but lost his life.
Sir William Smyth, of BedtordaUn,
a wealthy miser, agreed to “give slxjy
guineas if Dr. Taylor, a celebrated qccu-
fist, restored him to sight The doctor
succeeded so well that Sir William was
able to read and write Ml the rest Of Ms
life without spectacles. But he pro
tended at the time of his cure that he
only had a glimmer of his surroundings,
and on that account suoceeded in get
ting the fee reduced to .020, one-third of
the original price.
A Bt. Petersburg miser, who lived in
the tiino of Catharine II., resorted to a
peculiar method to save a little money.
He had a largo mastiff dog to watch his
house, and trained him to bark and
howl all night. Finally the dog di«d
Not caring to go to the expense c
chasing another, the old man pert*
a dog himself and went almut the
morning and evening, barking and ho'
ing in imitation of his former protector.
This man lived in one damp room, in a
largo dilapidated old bouse, and we are
told that liis cellar contained casks of
;old and packages of silver. Ms gas
‘ o richest man in Russia.
In striking contrast to tho mean char
acteristics which seem to oome natural
to the miser there are two aneodotsu,
that have been handed down to na, of
the hpoevolcnce of extremely avaricious
men. Borne years ago there lived in
Marseilles, France, a miser named Quo!
He was noted for his parsimony, had al
ways lived in the city, was hated by
grown persons and stoned by the boys.
He died very wealthy. HU will read as
follows; “Having observed from my in
fancy that the poor of Marseilles are ill
supplied with water, which can only be
procured at groat price, I have eheer-
niUy labored the whol9 of my life to
procure for them this great blessing,
and I direct that the whole of my prop
erty shall be expended in building an
aqueduct for their use.”
Borne years ago it waspropoaed to
build Bethlehem Hospital, London, und
contributions were requested from the
rich as well as the poor. A eolUotor in
a dirty part of the city heard a man
scolding his servant for throwing away
a match, only one end of whioh hsd been
expect muoh success, snd was agreeably
surprised to receive a cheek for four
hundred guineas. He then told the old
man of his thoughts, who replied; “Your
surpriso at receiving this sum is occa
sioned by my ogre of a thing of such
little consequence ; but I keep my house
and save my money in my own way.
My parsimony enables me to bestow
more liberally on charity. With regard
to benevolent donations, you may al
ways expect most from prudent people
who keep their own accounts ana who
pay attention to trifles.”
Dean Bivift was once invited by a great
miser to dine at his house with s large
party. The famous satirist, being re
quested to give grace, said:
“Tliaukn fur this miracle I—this Is no less
Than to cat mum in the wilderness.
Where ruglug hunger reign’d we’ve found relisl
And seen that wondrous thing, a piece of hoof.
Hero chimneys smoko that never smok’d before,
And wo’vc all ate, where we shall eat no more.”

Owing to tho great improvements
which havo been made of late years in
the construction of railroad tracks and
of railroad cars, the quantity of freight
now regarded as tho maximum load of
a car is much greater than formerly.
Once the limit was 20,000 pounds ; now
the avorago of tho different classes of
freight, as determined by tbo weights of
5O,00o cars weighed dnnng a period of
aix weeks by tbe Western Weighing
Association, was from ‘20,750 pounds for
machinery to ‘20,0'25 for ore, the max
imum in roost eases exceeding 30,000
pounds. Of ore there is even occasion
ally carried in a single oar as many as
48,600 pounds, or more than twonty-
fonr tons.

The population of New Booth Wales
is, by the recent census,750,000. Not very
considers* Is when it is remembered that
the colony has an area more than five
times as great as the Htste of New York,
is over eighty years old, and has for
years presented the attraction of gold
fields. The people of New Booth Wales
are, in fact, about as many as those of
Leeds, which is not even a city, in tho
mother country.

Work is the law of oar being—ih*
living principle that carries men and
nations onward. The greater number
of men have to work with their hands
as a matter of necessity, in order to live;
bnt all must work in one way or another,
if they wonld enjoy life as it onght to
be enjoyed. Labor may be a bnrden
and a chastisement, bnt it ia also an
honor aud a glory. Without it ’jotliing
can be accomplished. All that is groat
in man comes through work, snd civil
isation is its product. Wero labor
abolished, the race of Adam were at
on g stricken by moral death.
