tJXIOZf "i IAXFI RAILROAD CO.

Their FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS UH-M AS-AXi ISYf.iSTilEiT. f, ' X The rapid progress of j th Union Pacific Railroad, now building west from Omaha, Nebraska, And forming, with its western connections, an"unbroaen line across the continent, attracts attention to the va.ne of the First Mortgage Bonds which the Company, now, offe'" to the -public. The first question asked by prudent Investors Is, "Are these bonds secure T " Next, "Are they a profitable Investment?" To reply in brief j , , .... . . . r . , . , . , , 1st. The early completion of the whole great line to the Pacific Is as certain as any future business event can be. The Government grant of over twenty million acres of land and fifty million dollars in its own bonds practically guarantees it. One-fourth of the work is already done, and the track continues to be laid at the rate of two miles a day. i 0 2d. The Union Pacific Railroad bonds are issued upon what promises to be one of the most profitable lines of railroad in the country. For many years it must be the oply line connecting the Atlantic and Pacific; and being without competition,, it can maintain remunerative rates. 3d. Four hundred and twenty-five, miles pf this road are finished, and fully equipped with depots, locomotives, cars, &c, and two trains are daily running each way. The materials " for the remaining ninety-two miles to the eastern base of . the Rocky Mountains are on hand, and it Is under contract to be done in September. 4lh. The net earnings of the sections already finished are several timet greater than the gold interest upon the First Mortgage Bonds upon such sections, and if not another mile of the road were built the part already completed would not only pay interest and expenses, but be profitable to the Company. ...... . ' 5th. The Union Pacific Railroad bonds can be issued ouly as the road progresses, and therefore can never be in the market unless they represent a bona-flde property. 6tr!. The amount Is strictly limited by law to a sum equal to what Is granted by the U. S. Government, and for which it takes a second lien as its security. This amount upon the first 517 miles west from Omaha is only $16,080 per mile. 7th. The fact that the U. 8. Government considers a second lieu upon the road a good investment, and that some of the shrewdest railroad builders of the country have already paid in five million dollars upon the stock (which U to them a third lien), may well Inspire confidence in a first lien. ' . 8th. Although it is not claimed that there can be' any better securities than Governments, there are parties who con? sider a first mortgage upon such property as this tne very best security in the world, and who sell their Governments to re-invest In these bonds thus securing a greater interest. 9th. As the Union Pacific Railroad bonds are offered lor the present at 90 cents on the dollar and' accrued interest, they are the cheapest security in the market, being moie than 15 per cent, less than U. S. stocks. 1, 10th, At the current rate of premium on gold, they pay Over Sine per Cent. Interest. The dally subscriptions are already large, and; they wilt continue to be received In New York by the ' Continental National Bane, No. 7 Nassau Street; Clark, Dodge &, Co., Bankers, -51 Wall Street; - John J.

Verio gives an acermnt ef an eSpfrhneDt ia gr ifriathaf Jh') novel that we . think it will interest, our readers. Two pear trees on , qu'.-ice roots were united by inarching, and the roots (quince) of one of the trees left exposed to the air. Oi cour.-e, ia order to reach the quince roots of the tree thus exposed, the sap had to go from the other tree and traverse the tissues of the one grafted upon it in a reverse direction. This it did, and the quince root then put out quince shoots three, to four inches long. Upon the branches of this root, now for a year exposed to the air, pear grafts have been placed. Two of these grafts have succeeded, so that

now this curious tree consists: 1st, of a quince root; 2d, a Beurre d' Arenburgpear; 3d, a Beurre d Uharneu pear that was inarched into No. 2: 4th, of quince foots; 5th, of pear grafted upon these - quince - roots. bhould these last named-gralts, bear fruit true to its kind; it will puzzle those who claim that the stock has an influence upon the graft, as the sap will have passed through the tissues of four other trees before these grafts were reached, and in two " instances through inverted tissues. The experiment is also interesting in showing that roots may adapt themselves to circumstances, and beibg exposed to the air, become, to all intents and purposes like branches. 'We hope that M.1 Verlot will keep watch of this remarkable tree and let . us know more of the results of one of the most interesting experiments ever made in practical horticulture. ' STORING AWAY APPLES. As this is the season for packing J apples tor Winter and spring use, the manner that was employed in keeping apples that were perfectly sound a year after they were thus put away wiil probably prove interesting to our readers. The gentleman writes: "A layer of dry saw dust was sprinkled at the bottom of the packing box, and then a layer of apples placed in it eo that they did not touch each other. Upon these was placed a layer of saw dust, and so on until the box was filled. The boxes, after being packed in this way, were placed on the wall in the cellar, ''up from the ground, where the apples kept perfectly sound, retaining their freshnef s and flavor when brought out and ex hibited at the tatr. " From experiments made vkh dry sand, packing the! apples inthe same way, he finds that saw dust is much superior to - the sand, the latter, he thinks, being too heavy a ma'terial, and pressing the apples too much, causing them to decay more rapidly than with the saw dusft The above txperimint, perhaps may be suggestive to those desiring to preserve apples late ;n the season next yaar. ' ' ' : " It will be needless to observe, however, that apples will keep.late, ; by aEy process of packing, that have been bruised or lBj'ured in picking. Apples should be handled carefully, and the less moving about after having been picked the better. A large part of the fruit grown and sold m market has been so injured by careless gathering, pouring into barrels, and rough handling while f being driven to market, that it soon decays, under whatever treatment it may be subjected for the purpose of keeping-" : ., : BLEACHING CELERY, : We copy the following from the London Gardener's Chronicle, that our readers may give it a trial during the present Autumn : - Having had some trouble in keeping late celery from rotting in a new kitchen garden, where, the soil was very retentive and damp, and the plants earthed up in the usual manner, I have since used sawdust for the purpose, and find that it answers perfectly. Last Winter, all the late calery was earthed up with sawdust, and it kept quite sound till April, and slugs or insects attacked it under ground, the heads being very solid, elear and crisp, and well flavored. I had some doubts that the sawdust from resinous trees might give the celery a disagreeable flavor, but on trial I found this not to be the case, and. the sawdust is now taken indiscriminately from the saw-pits, where different kinds of trees are sawn up. Before the severe frost occurred in October last, the earthing up of some late celery .with sawdust had just been finished, and it wa3 found, in Spricg wonderfully fresh, the frost not having penetrated through the surface to thebeart.' ' : .. FACTS IN FRUIT CULTURE. , Dr. Trimble, of Newark,' New Jersey,-who has paid great attention to fruit culture, givea the following as his views the result of many years experience: V 1. That the most successful -way to conquer the curculio is to gather the fruit as it falls, and feed it to stock. or destroy it, as it is by this falling fruit that the curculio propagates its specie?.' " 2. That the fruit of the apple tree can he protected from the "apple tree moth by Wrapping around each tree two or three times a rope made of straw. The moths will harbor in this rope and can then be destroyed. 3. That the only way to kill the peach tree borer, is to cut him out with a knife, not once only in a season, but to follow him up every two weeks until exterminated. . After the first " going over" of an orchard this wiil be little or no trou

ble, as each tree can be attended to ia

two "minutes.""-"'"' SOROHUM "SYRUP AND 'SUGAR REFIN--,. :'-m INU. " The Ohio Farmer states that Wrc. Clough exhibited before the Cincinnati Horticultural. "Society, a ,. newmethod of deodorizing sorghum syrup and sugar, which is pronounced to be an important improvement. .It ' precipitates the gummy matter and insoluble partfr as a heavy sediment, leaving a clear liquid above, which, when evaporated, yields a syrup devoid of sorghum taste or. odor,' and similar in every respect to good syrup. " The materials used in refining are the sul-r phate of byrita, lime, silicate. of soda Sad water. These agents are entirely harmless and removed with the impurities of the syrup, leaving its flavornearly like that of maple. THE LANDOWNER. When I come, within sight of my farm, after having been away, a pleasant sensation rises within me, that no other feeling can equal. I am at home on my own .land. These are my acres, which the combined power of the country has guaranteed to me. . It is mine and my heirs' forever. Here is security. It' there is anything stable in the world, this is it. -My fireside U therefore built upon a firm foundation. I and my children are safe. We are not intruded upon ; no one has a right to do this; the stroHg arm of theaw is ever ready to defend us. Here I have my worship un-dis- : turbed; I attend to my concerns unmolested. In a word, I am at home, i 'And when my acres wave with graia that grain and those acres are mine, . I own them and I feed themThey are part of myself. My cattle not the cattle of a thousand hills are mine; Lhave raised them and know every one, as I know my household "Boss," and "Brindle," and "Kitty." They come at my call they know me.- The old cow has a face as intelligent as many a person, and with : much more sympathy in it honest old face! I could not well do without it. .Thus my fields are stocked with this intelligence, and the gleeful antics of the heifers and steers remind me cf my own youthful days. And for "innocence" the lambs, and the quiet, inoffensive sheep. Even the "grunter" has something I do not want to dispense with. And the chickens, and the stately rooster who is lord of the barnyard, as I am of the premises. T. G. in Rural World. STATIONERY. JOHN II. SCOTT, ISooIseller, Stationer AiTD X E W S I E A.
