Mem. I am getting exceedingly tired of my treasure-trove. I retire to my room with a view off dressing to go cut. I am informed that a lady wishes to see roe, and I am afraid my mental calculation was not complimentary to the lady in question. A tall, graceful figure, draped in heavy mourning, rises at my entrance, bhe. opens the negotiation in some eejtflHOm turning awy her face. Shehas coine me m the h. pe of regaining a ring, ( leosly lost, the parting gilt of a fond father, to hrr brother and herself. My eye rests on the crape about her dress, en her pale, beautiful face, from which the blofch of confusion and timidity has faded. Deferentially I request her to describe It. " A large diamond, handsome," she believed, " but valuable to her for far other reasons." " I said gently, chased on the gHd inside the ring there ia " " A cet, I am aware ol it," she answer d sdly, "but I know nothing of heraldry, and have nevjr given it more than a casual glance. My brother ia oying, ir, she said, lifting up her pp.ie fre to mine.

" I am sorry to pain you," I said, striv

ing to oe firm ; " but it would be more satisfactory to all parties, and cause but little delay, if you could obtain the description from vour brother." Without a word she turned away; the mournful resignation of her air and attitude touched me, and as ehe turned, I saw a tear roll silently down and fall upen the hand stretched to tne door handle. 1 couldn't stand that " Stop," I exclaimed, " one moment. I am sure I feel certain I may trust you. You will tell me" I take the ring from its security, I hold it out timidly for the blue eyes to ex imine. I see yet the look of delight overspread her fine features I see the expression of almost chiliish pleasure in her eyes as she looked up at me and clasped her hands, and cried out : "The Ring, the Ring ! Oh, Alfred, my dear brotber !" Her hand w as upon it ; such a tremulous, happy eagerness in her glance ; such a caressing fondness in her way of fingering it. How pretty she was ! My dear child, (I am forty-five,) "it gives me sincere pleasure ." Then I stammered, then I sprang after her. "At least you will leate yeur address with me " What a lock shades her face now! Wounded integrity, mingled with pity Tor me "Ah, sr,"she says sadly, handing me the card on which she has been penciling, " some day you wiil be sorry for this. You do net trust me." Certainly I am a brute. The accent of reproach ia her voice haunts me; the sorrowiul g'aace of lur eye how pretty she is: I sit do.vn to my breakfest in the morning, half inclined to call at the address given, and apologize for my heathenish distrust. How delightful to see her in her own ptcaHor atmosphere, ministering to the sick brother who is all she has in the world, to l-ok upon, if one cannot enjoy, tne beautiful tenderness of a gentle sister to an a lilicted brother.

The area of the State of Minnesota has been estimated at 8H.C00 square miles, or 53,120,000 acres.

A short time ago, two carrier pigeons, raised in Cologne, succeeded in traveling from Pesth, in Hungary, to Cologne, in Germany, a distance of about seven hundred miles, in eight hours.

Daniel Wehster said : If we work upon marble it will perish ; if upon brass, lime will efface it ; if we rear temples they will tumble into dust. But if we work upon our immortal minds if we imbue them with principles, with the just fear of God and love of our fellow-men we engrave on those tablets, something which will brighten through all eternity. Sweet Potato Culture. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette says let sweet potato vines run, and let them root. The rootlets of the runners will support their growth, which would other -Tvise be drawn from the parent root. Besides, these little rootlets bear no mean part in carrying back to, and strengthening the hill. I have eight years' experience in growing the sweet potato. I have cultivated the crop many years and found it to be the best way. Two young girls, at boarding-school, in New York, devotedly attached to one soother, finding that, at the close of the term, they were to be separated, concluded to take poison and die together, rather than live apart. It was accordingly done, but discovered by the teacher, powerful antidotes administered. and the girls lived.

A distinguished German professor recently announced that if a drop of human blood was placed ooder a microscope capable of magnifying it twenty million oi times, it would show all kinds of animals that have ever existed, or now exist on the earth.

At the recent "World's Fair"atLex-int-n, Ky., the Gazette states that, when the coy riders under 10 years old were called, a little child, son of Andrew Steele, rode boldly into the ring amid the shouts of the spectators. He was just 3 years of age, and seemed hardly large enough to be out of his nurse's arms, yet he showed -1 X . . : 1 . no sign of fear, and cut his horse at every jump. Although he did not get a premium, yet he carried off a long streamer of red and blue ribbon on each arm, seemed as prou 1 of his decoration a3 if a premium had been awarded him, and probably knew no better. His little cousin, a y ar older, son of Thomas Steele, rode beautifully, and the way he sat upon his horse was preatiy admired. A firm in New York recently sent to the United States Treasurer a Contim ntfti uf-nh rr.tp. A.i;inir if it is redeem able. In rcDlv. the Treasurer states that the Continental money was never re - deemable by the United States. By the act of Auguet 4, 17!H) (1 Statutes 140), it wtis receivable at the Treasury in subscnptions to a loan, at the rate of one hundred eloliars in Continental to one dollar in specie. By the act of March 3, 1707 (1 Statutes, 516), it was declared that said money should be receivable as above untii December 81, 171)7, and no longer. He also adds, the only value tne note can possibly have Is as a curiosity, and that without doubt it is a counterfeit one. When the bacchanalian propensities of larvis, the painter, had rendered him rather an unequal, if not an unsate, artist, he was employed by a gentleman to painthis wif;, a art facto ol plainness, under the stipulation that a pint of wine at a single silting must be the extent of his potations.

We are often forced to take half-load or le.-s upon wheelbarrows becuee the narrowne-s of the single wheel v.iil not admit of heavier ones being wheeled over aolt ground. It is not only upon plowed ground or that in which crops are grownag that tOe wheelbarrow is nearly use less, aud the cumbrous wagon, stone drag or to 1 bo a, of necessity, are substituted, but sward presents an aimost equally soft footing iu wet weather. A neighK.r was iu perplexity ; pur.sla:.e wai rampant in the mangel patch; it was worth a good deal for the hogs; to tuke a wagon in would sacrifice too many of the roots; the wheel of the wheelbariow mink n ur ly to the hub in the dry, light soil, with half a load, and it was a grout waste of time to bring the weeds out by armluhs or forkfuls. We suggested the use of a very broad wheel, and lor fear that such a one COedd not be found or catily made, the idea of using a small lager beer keg occurred to us. The suggestion was followed with entire BOcoees. An old keg was bought at hall -pi koo, the hoops were tightened and fastened in place by punching a tew tctth, so to speak, in their outer edges. A hole throe quarters of an inch square was cut in each head, a Fquare iron rod iruertr.i, having its ends hied round and cut Ihu riirht length. This rod was wedged in plnce, and a barrow was soon improvised which would carry a heavy h ad over polt ground. The sxl? must be secured against working eit icr to one side or to the other, as the wucel has no hub, which generally performs this office. Should any one object to this spoiling of a good keg, which would be worth perhaps a uouar ana a quarter, he may get his blacksnrnn 10 weia a cross-head upon each axle end.

FAIOI AD HOUSEHOLD

Honey Gathering. Many still think that bees make honey, some believing that the workers make it, others that it is the work ot the drones to ma&e honey, others again suppose that both classes make it. Such is not the case, however; neither werkers nor drone s ever make a drop ot honey. Honey is nothing more nor less than the sweet nectar found in almost every flower, and is gathered from the flowers by the workers only. Lighting upon the flower, they thrust in their proboscis or tongue, and, extracting the sweet, they convey it to their stomach or honey-bag. As soon as they have obtained all the honey-bag will hold, they return to the hive and empty its contents into a celL One can readily see that it would not undergo much change in so short a time, while careful experiments prove that it undergoes no change whatever. If they feed u. jn syrup made of sugar, they will deposit syrup in the cells, and if it is strongly scented with any flavoring extract it will retain the Ikvor as long as it remains in the cells. This being true, it is evident that different flowers yield different kinds of honey. With a little practice any bee keeper may easily determine, from tne taste of the honey, what fl owers it was gathered from. I will not say it can be done in every ease, but in many cases it can. Some might be ready to ask, how can that be, when they gather frcm flowers of different kinds and mix it all together? It would certainly be difficult to tell, if such were true ; but they do not mix it together. As a rule, a bee that commences to work upon white clover continues to gather from th3t flower until its honeysack is full. Such is their nature ; they do not go from one kind of flower to another, but having commenced to gather from any one kind, they continue to do so until their honcy-bag is fu'l; and each kind of honey is also deposited by itself in the combs. Bees working upon different flowers do not deposit in the same ceils. Any person wishing to prove this can do so by examining the combs about the time the bee c immences to work on buckwheat, and they will find the darkcolored buckwheat honey in cells by itself, quite separate from the light white clover honey. They also do the same when gathering pollen or bee bread ; each kind is kept by itself as much as possible. Why thfy do this is more than I amabletosiy. It is, however, a very convenient arrangement for the bee keeper, as he can select the best honey and keep it by itself for his own use, or sell it at a higher price. swarming. The philosophy of swarming is but little understood. Many suppose that when spring opens a swarm begins to grow, and when sufficiently large and numerous enough in bees it is cast forth with its queen. Hence the question is oiten asseu : is mere more than one swarm in a hive ? There is never more than one ssvarm in a hive, strictly speaking. Though we may put two, or even three swarms together, and all in one hive, yet in a short time, if tney do not swarm out, the queens are all killed but one, and the two or three swarms become one. It is often the case tha;; there are bees enough in the hive at one time to form two er three good swarms ; still it can only be called one swarm until divided artificially or naturally. The preparation for swarming is ail made by the workers. The hive, or rather combs of the hive, being filled with bro d and honey, and the harvest good, and the hive populous, the workers construct queen cells and commence to rear young q'ieens. In about eight days a swarm conies ell", and the old queen with it. Generally the swarm clusters on a convenient tree or bush, und a number of the workers go out and hunt a home. When such is found, the whola swarm takes winir and ;oes to it In some cases a home is found Deiore tne swarm comes eft ; in which case the swarm is quite likely to Lave for it without clustering. There are also instances where a swarm coming off discovers a a cruply hive, and at once enters it. Two r three cafes of this kind have occurred in this vicinity this season. When the swarm remains long In the clusUr, apart of the workers go out and gather honey, bringing in food for tbe others; and in a few instances swarms have commenced comb-buildirg on the limb or bush where they clustered, and before a Lome was secured. This comb becoming large, and the queen having deposited eggs in it, the swarm has refused to leave, making tlic bush or tree their home, have built large couibaanu remained in the open air during th oooon. Ahoi't tiinoUays after the Mrst swarm has issued, a second gwarmcemts off if the colony is populous. A scj arete cluster of ' be-es imardiner each cell, when a nneea esi capes frum one cell she is not allowed to destroy the others, but like the old queen goes off with a Bwarm, which is called a ' second sarm. The oueen in such a swarm is a virgin queen, and dees not commence to lay for several days after the swarm is hived. Third and fourth swarms are the result of the other cells hatching ; each cluster of workers guarding its queen, will not allow them to meet and destroy each other; the conrequence is, several little swarms come off, called third, lourth and fifth swarms. In sojoecssee they all come off together, and all cluster together, forming what is called a swarm with se veral queens. Such a swarm being put into a hive during the night following, the queens are set at liberty, and all are destroyed but one... II. ThomuH, in Canada I'.iruier. USEFUL SttfttJ&riYE. A e-OKKErroNDENT of the Country Gentleman plant- d a few acres ot turnips which were larg a enough to bein to feed the first week in J ly, when they were fed to pigs, and no other teed given until the last week in September. No loi of pigs could nave done better, growing and keeping in good condition all the while. At a reeentdiFcucsion in Iowa, Mr. Arthur Bryant, of Princeton, 111 , an experienced fruit-grower, said that he considered September and October the most suitable months for pruning. Spring was the worst season tor pruning, for then the loss of the sap lessens the sugar of the tree. Trees which bear heavily one year are especially subject to blight the next. lie had no frith in Dr. Hull's theory of rootpruning as a specific for bl'ght.

The pruning has to be done jast alter the young growth pushes out, W&icB generally is abo.it tbe end of May. It is very Important the hedge should be cut with loping Mdeo, so that every part of the surface should have the full benefit of the light. A bodge with upright (-ides or a fequaretop, will not keep thick at the bottom long. An Ohio hog raiser advocates the system of pasturing on clover during the summer.

To Clban Gilt Jewelry. Take half a pint of boiling water, or a little less, and put it into a clean oil flask. To this add one ounce of cyanide of potassium, shake the flask, ar.d the cyanade will dissolve. When the liquor is cold, add half a fluid ounce of liquor ammonia, and one fluid ounce of rectified alcohol. Shake the mixture together, and it will be ready for u6e. All kinds of gilt articles, whether Birmingham ware or " Articles de Paris," which have become discolored, may be rendered bright by brushing them with the above mentioned fluid.

E Farmer writes: Hoi long since, I heard a man say that canker worms would not live among pine trees. The idea was new to me, but on looking around within the circle of my knowledge, I cannot disprove it. In a town adjoining Beverly, wcere the canker worm eats very badly, there is a pine tree with;two apple trees stanc iug Very near it, and while all the apple trees in that vicinity were almost entirely stripped; those near the pine were uutoucned. I have made frequent inquiries and have not found a man who ever saw canker worms in the immediate vicinity of pine trees. Benefit of Irrioation. In Colorado lands which were thought heretofore to be worthless have been reclaimed by irrigation, and now produce from forty to sixty bushels of wheat per acre. By superior cultivation land has yielded eighty bushels of wheat per acre, a hundred bushels of oats, over a hundred and fifty bushels of corn in the ear, five hundred bushels of potatoes per acre, and other prouuets in proportion. Without irrigation the land is worthless, excepting immediately on the banks of streams. There are 5,000,000 acres of land in Colorado w hich can be irrigated according to government estimates. Nkw Method of Starching. A method of starching articles of linen, flax, cotton, etc., lately patented in France, consists in bringing ihem for a short time in contact with &ulphuricucid. diluted with one fourtn to one tnird iu bul of water, and allowed to cool ; or in immersing them in a concentrated solution ol chloiide of ziGC, and immediately washing them out in water. For the purpose of removing all the acid with certaiuty, ammonia may be applied afterward. The fabric, in this way, is not only starched thoroughly, but thereby is made to receive the coloring matter in dyeing or stamping much more readily and permanently, and shows a brighter impression with a less amount of the dye. Preservation of Eggs, This subject has recently attracted a great deal of attention, and many methods of effecting it have been published, though none are altogether perfect, for the simple reason that the true cause of the spoiling of the eggs iseithei unknown by those who have attempted to furnish us with directions, or has been lost sight ot by them. Tnere are two eltie rat causes for the spoiling of eggs, and unless one or both ol these are avoided we cannot hope for success. The firs', is exposure to a high temperature, and the toer is access of air. It may be safely hftkmed that at temperatures below S3 0 Fab. nearly all change ceases in organic bodies, while very few organic substaices will tear continual exposure to a temperature above 9ü . The Ireezing point is rather too low for the preservation of eggs in good condition, as Ireezing affects the flavor unfavorably ; but if we desire to pn -sirve eggs in the best manner, wc inust keep t hem cool say at a temperature below 50- If possible, a temperature which is frequently maintained in good cellars. But it will be of no use to pkee eggs in a coed cellar if they have beeu previously exposed for hours to a temperituie of over 00. The collection of the eggs must therefore in the lirsi place engage our attention. Now, it has been weh known that hens are most inclined to set in the months ot May, June and July, and that during these months the eggs in the nest are peculiarly liable to be tet upon by bronrhrtfr hens. On the other hand, during the month or August, .... ; subsequently, the tendency to brooei is not so strong, and tbe eggs are less liable to be Injured. Those who raise poultry, and especial. y those who keep fowls lor the sake of their eggs, commie a great error when they fail to remove from their yards those birds t hat are inclined to set, and which consequently take every opportunity of warming the eggs in the BOStSL If any one will attempt to preserve eggs that have been subjected to the batckiog process for one or two days, suh person will discover the fotca of these statements. Kohier, of Germany, who possesses an exteribive poultry-raising establishment, and who every winter preserves thousands of eggs without ever tosiog one, has recently published an account of hisn&etbod of proceeding, ami has given the following rules for securing tavorable results : 1st. The nest mutt be placed in a cool position. 2d. The fowls that show a tendency to set must be removed at once, and placed in separate enclosures uutil the propensity lias lett tnem. 3d. If many chickens be confined in the name enclosure, or use the same nests for laying their egga, the eggs ought to be removed from the nests several timts I day. 4th. The eggs ought to be assorted ac cording to age, and preserved in boxes aith the covers always partially open. These boxes must be kept in a cool, airy, and perfectly dry place. 5th. At tne commencement of winter, the store of eggs is placed iu some room that is not heated by a fire, but that is at the same time thoroughly protected from frost. 6th. The packages are so arranged that the oldebt may be used first. Kggs treated according to these rules do not acquire the pieuliar taste which is generally the result of the recipes "n vogue for preserving eggs. The BOmbei ot these recipes is almost unlimited. BOOM rccommed the UM of lard or butter, Waich, when robbed over the eggs, Mm the pores, excludes the air, and prereots the eggs from drying our. That there are powe-riul causes iu the spoiling 1 eggs is :idy proved, for the time that has elapsed susoe au egg waa l ud may be roughly estimated by taking its specific gravity. It we dissolve common salt ia water at liie rate of three ounces of .salt in twentyfive of water, it will be found that freshly laid eggs will just sink in this solution. An eg mat has been kept lor one day will haruly sink to the bottom ; at three days old it will Jloat in the liquid, and wneu rive uays oiu it will Doatou the sur lace, more ot it being elevated above the i ullpf' , nr,mftrti o .... . u I..t. 1" -1' IBW phenomena are caused by the drying out ol the eis, aud the extent to which tUey take place in a givtu time depends SOnsenBsl on the weather. tlni iirmg the eggs with lard or butter prevents this, but these oily matters are apt to become rancid, and thus destroy the II kvor of the eggs. Dipping the eggs in lime water is also recommended. TLe lime tills the ports of the eggs and st. rvts the same purpose that the grease did. But of all the materials tliat have been recommended for this purpose, water glaes or silicate of sod i is the most effectual and least objectionable. It was firsi suggested by JNowaluy, in Dingler's Polytechnic Journal tot lHot. It aets chemically on the shell, and foriun with the OBfBoaate ot lime of which the shell UoontDOflid a hard, compact mas9 that eüectually excudedthe air. since it ie no lonuer n.irus. As it is deemed desirable to remove even the small quantity of air that is OOB tained in the egg itsell, it has been recomj mended to warm the solution to a point , nearly equal to that at which the albumen

coagulates. When the egg is plscod m such a solution, the contents are expanded, and the air driven out. It has even been recommended to dip the eggs in a boiling solution of salt for a single instant. The object of adding the salt to the water is to raise the boiling point, and by dipping the egg in the boiling liquid a thin layer of the abumen (white) is coagulated (hardened) and effectually excludes the air. The egg must be effLCtually withdrawn, and placed in cold water, otherwise the cooking process will be carried too far. Hearth and Home.

-Nursing the Sick. BY FAITH ROCHESTER. No woman has all the womanly accomplishments who is unqualified to make her presence in the sick-room a blessing to the sufferer. All rules for behavior toward sick or well may be summed up by the Golden Rule do as you would be done by but in the absence of experience it is well to have some definite directions. You can hardly be too careful about neatness and order. The lick-room should be kept perfectly tidy. Especially should all soiled garments and utensils be removed and cleansed before a second use The towels and napkins should be clean, and the food offered should be arranged to please the eye. If any thing is askew about the curtains or table cover or rugs straighten it at once, or the invalid will have to do it mentally over and over again. To prevent the patient from hunting out every case of bad matching in the figure of the wail paper, or wearing the m nd with observation of ever' defect in the furniture, bring in fresh bouquets 'of flowers or other objects upon which the eye loves to linger. Thiiik of this in ar ranging your dress. Avoid glaring colors aud noifrv fabrics, and put on your garments with care. The patient's bed should be kept as clean and orderly as p siible. Straighten the coverings and smooth the pillows quietly, whenever they get disordered, and in making the bed at the regular periods, do it with care and thoroughness. If it is impossible to change the bed linen daily, try to have two Sets and alternate their use, so as to have each set aired well when taken off at night and morning. Let all the work of the sick room be done unostentatiously, so that, to the patient, everything will seem to be moving along smoothly and easily. Do not question invalids when you can avoid it. Oct your directions from the physician in attendance, and carry them out without criticism. If you give medicine, be punctual, and say nothing aöcut it uniil you have it neatly prepared, and afterwards put cups, spoons and phials out of sight. Keep medicine beyond the reach ol children. In giving baths, be gentle but use so firm a hand that your patient will understand that you are telf-possessed, and need feel no concern. In giving the patient a general sponge bath, wath only a part at a time an arm for instance and wipe it belore proceeding further, keeping the rest of the body covered. Do not us-c water that is uncomiortably cool to the invalid. If the feet are cool, a wrm foot bath is very comforting, and may be given to the patient in dcq, by uang a small, shallow tub, the sick person lying on the back with the knees bent keep ing the whole covered with a blanket ; and after leaving the feet in the warm water about fifteen minutes, rub with a to el wet in cool water (to contract the relaxed pores to their natural state, and so prevent CBtCbing cold), and then wipe well with a dry towel. A jug filled with hot waier and robed up in liannel is the best foot-warmer to put in bed. If 30U know what healihlui dishes will please yoor patient, prepare tuem promptly without previous consultation. Observe the greatest delicacy in all this. A nurie a Bo woold taste the invalid e food, or cool u with her breath, ought not i be tolerated. Hever se.is -n an invalid's food highly, and remember that melted butter is one of the mrst indig; st.ble things you can offer. (Jiearn is better thau butter on toast or roasted potatoes. There is somj danger of using toast too freely. It is more constipating than plain bread, and a person confined to the bed or to the room is more likely to sutler from this than one who has uut-door exercise. Plain, subacid fruit, and bread or gems made of gcod Graham Hour (minus a part of the bran) are the best artnles of diet; but a variety can be made by using sometimes the various delicate preparations of starch, tapioca, sago, rice, etc. It is hard lor a sick person to wait long fcr food when hungry. Don't keep your patient waitivj for any thing if you can help it. Minutes seem like hours to an invalid at such times. Do not rattle your newspaper, nor cieak your chair, nor wear noisy shoes. Bpeak iujgcutlc tones, and do Mot tulle too niUCh. Do not allow your patient to talk long at a time, and let the conversation take a lively turn. Better not discuss disease. Do yoor beet to keep long-faced visitors away. Have no whispering in the 'room or just outside the door. Unless in extreme cases, have the room dark and quiet, and cool at night. Look out for good ventilation, and air the mattrass and Deuuing irequentiy. .Let in all the s.iußhine you can without hutting the invalid eyes, lie as much of a sunbeam as possible yourself, without being frivolous :nd with patience f:nd laithtulness you may be able to dr. a great amount of good. American Anricdi urist. . Steaming Fud.hr for Cattle. The question ' does it pay?" asked with relerence to steaming rodder for cows, is one which is preed upon agricultural editors with more and more force every year. When a notable increase in the price of hay occurs, it is all the more important to farmers to economize in every possible way. A few ficts will guide our readers to a decision relative to their particular cases: 1st. Cooked food goes farther than that which is not cooked. It will be within bounds to say that it will go a quarter lartht r. If 100 pounds of dry hay will produce fix gallons ot milk, it will produce feven and a half it cooked. 3d. The ex ra labor required to cook the food properly, otten costs more thnn the gain in the quality of the food is worth, iid. The manure is worth less, in proportion to the amount of food consumed, because the tinnl is more thoroughly digested, and h is wasted. 4lh. Uo hing always p ys, provided it is well done, on a sefriciei.tly large scale, and with econondcal apparatus. 5th. The beat applieation of heat is BtOallj by mcaus of s earn generated close at hand. Uh. Steam may be gi in rated economically at a distance, and the cooking be done at the barn, provided the fiteam is either usi d for some other porpose near where the boiler stands, or a very large quantity IS employed for steaming teed. 7. Dinger from lire is a serious consideration. Actual fires, or nai row escapes, haw occurred on mi st farms where cooking by steam has been introduced Care in putting up the apparatus, and vigilance in its use are the nly security against fire. American Agriculturittt. Ihy Orchards Decay. AcoimBHPoNHRNTof the Valley Farmer says orchards have died or become poor i fr m these causes : 1. The exhaustion of the soil from 1he OOBStaitt crqs of apple? ; from the blowitg away hy the wind of the leaves of the tree which nature designed to teed the soil in which the tree stands; by the crops of grass, grain, or nots constantly takes from the same ground and little re- i turn of substat.ee to it. ft. Another means of their destruction has betn in whipping the trees with poles to remove the apples. And still another cause was the psturage among them. ;t To restore them If any wire left worth restoring, man must cease to crop the ground under them, and mustmanuro them with vegetable mold, decaying leaves, lime, wood ashes, and salt. A comP"jt formed ot these subtatces would be ext ellent: or one formed by soapsud and refuse slops, chip-dirt, turf, etc, well r. itted. Then trim them of all dead limbs, and tliosc that cross and gnll each other, and of all suckers that feed upon trunk or limbs, not ntctssary for a crop.
