DRATTliEBORO t FIUDAY EVENING, APHIIj 13, 1877. FARM AND FIRESIDE. Vrar Culture How elmll s tree be planledT Itunilreili of trees are planted, by digging a small holt, nillnx It faair full or strong manure, slick In the tree, Jam ttio roots down with the boot boel, fill up the hole with soils, stone and dirt, and then vent your wrath upon the nurseryman for soiling you poor trees, calling him a cheat, a swindler, a scoundrel, and other pet names, because your trees happen to die. In the first place the roots of a tree mutt bare room ; so let tbebolo be dug large enough to admit all lbs roots without cramping them, and then set the treo Into the ground so that the small surface roots will be about two Inch es lower than where they stood In the nur sery rows. Dwarf trees should be set so that the quince stock will be burled threo to four Inches below tbo level of the grounds J lu this way many dwarf trees will strike a pear root above the bud, and so tho tree eventually becomes a standard ; wo then havo the advantage of early frullfulness and long life to tbo tree. Having placed tho tree In the hole in proper position, All In the bole wllb flno dirt, working It In around the roots with the fingers or a small tamping stick ; when the roots aro well covered a few sbovelsful or compost may bo used to advantage, but tbo uso of green, unfermented manures should always be avoided In the transplanting of trees. In regard to the after culture of tbo pear, If tbo soil Is alroady rich the tree will not require much extra feeding, but on the av erage of our New England soil, trees need liberal manuring to grow and produce well. The manure should bo applied In the fatl.of the year ; three or four good shovels full of well decomposed manure piled around the trunk of the tree will answer a double pur poso of pievenllng the ravages of mice, and furnlshlngnutrlment to tho tree, at the right time. The spring rains causo the leaching of the manuro about the roots, which by being enriched early In the sea' son will make a good growth of wood that becomes well ripened before the autumn frosts. Trees, when first transplanted, should be cut back heavy, at least two-thirds of the previous year's growth should be takouoff. This will help counterbalance the loss of root, and also give the root a chanco to get established first, without being compelled to furnish sustenance for bud and leaf ou superfluous wood. I beltovo that more trees from tho nursery die every year for lack of this cutting back process than from any other cause. After the first year's heavy pruning, a young tree will not ro qulro much prunlug forscveral years; slm ply keep them clear of sprouts and cross limbs. When we And tbo trees making a heavy growth, say of two or three feet In a single year, It Is best to cut them, which will make them morn stocky, and It also tends to bring thorn earlier Into bearin which Is desirable when a tree has attained a bearing size. A Practical Srrroou. At one of tbo recent meetings of the Ver mont SlUo Board of Agriculture, Mr. N, Skinner, of Plalnfield, delivered a short practical sermon upon knowing things' and selected as bis text, the sentiment of the Ststo Board, "It is a good thing to know something, but it is belter not to know anything than to know what isn't so." lie said: During tbo year 1874 be kept twenty-five cows and sold 3535 pounds of butter at 35 cents per pound, amounting to $1237.25 ; an average of 141 pounds per cow, or an income of $49.52. With this result wo were quite well satisfied, as our butler had beon contracted and sent away each week, and we had received sotr.o presents besides the price bargained at, with which we Jell flat tered; and wo were doing a little better than some of our ucigbbors, so that we were enjoying life under tbo lirst clause of our text, whose teachings amounted so near to that of inspiration with us, that wo expended every dollar of our surplus In tho education of our children. But the sec ond clause of our text had been so thor oughly impressed upon our minds by the members of Ibis board, that it very much disturbed our prejudices, If not our peace of mind ; and as the merit ofall knowledge Is determined by its practical working, we concluded to test It by tnsklug a change, although wo were very cautious at first, As the result of that change, we havemilk ed 18 cows the past year; havo sold 4305 pounds of hutlor, contracted as before at 35 cents per pound, amounting to $1527.75; an average of 242 pounds, or an incomo of $84.87 per cow. This gives a dlU'erence in the income since the change of $35.35 per cow, or $883.75 in a dairy of 25 cows. But these figures do not represent all the difference The 25 cows kept lu 1874 were all, except two or three, of mature age; whorcas, ofthe 18 kept in 187G, seven were two years old, and three, three years old, leaving ouly eight of prime age. I shall expect tbeso heifers to average TOOpoundi ayear by the time they aro six years old Besides what we have sold, wo have sup plied our family of nlno persons with tUIry produce. We have kept dairy twenty-fivo years, bave made batter almost exclusively, and, until we camo under the Influence of the State Board, some threo years ago, we firm ly believed that success in dairying de pended almost entirely upon the feed and earo bestowed upon tbo cows kept, and not upon the breed of cows. Wo were conn dent that wo Inew that the native cow was as good as any, If not tbo best, when prop crly cared for, and that blood, moro es pecially Jersey blood, was a speculative humbug. But the Inevitable result of a practical trial has established tho truth of our toxt, that, "It Is belter not to know anything, than it Is to kuow what Isn't so." The Sprlaa Appetite. About this tlmo of year a large propor tion of (be people in our Northern climate even those of pretty vigorous health be gin to lose their relish for food. Tbe broak- fast bell has no music in It. Lunch is a boro, and it takes them some lime to make up tbelr minds what tboy can eat for din ner. Tho man charges it to tbo "muggy spring weather," or else concludes that be is "getting bilious." Whatever Ihe cause, bo feels, as the old-fashioned folks wonld say, "kinder gin eout." And so, In the American fashion, be goes to dosing. He sals rhubarb, or takes salts, or drinks ale or "root-and-yarb tea. Or, if be be poor aud gullible, be swallows two or three kinds of patent medicine ; any thing to dis turb and punch up, as It were, poor moth er Nature Now tbls Is all a very bad kind of non sense. Kven the physicians bave made "wonderful progress within tbe past ten years toward a practical recognition of tbe fact that Nature rarely needs medicine I help her children out of trouble. Tber was a pound given twenty years ago, where an ounce suffices now. Intelligent people bava learned that a wise regulation of diet, with physical warmth and cleanliness, and jpleotv of either rest or cxercUe will pre vent or euro all ordinary disarrangements of the system. No one who has put thought Into his eating, and obocrved the i-llecU or food ordrlnk npon himself, as every sensi ble man should do, need over do violence to bis system with physic. But there aro men who will Imliilgo heartily lu meats and heat aud fat-making food all winter mako no change when fprlug comes, and Ihon wonder n hat Is tbe matter with their appetite. Tho air, I ho skies, the face oflbo earth, all change, and all the conditions of living are allersd; but they slick to their beef and ham and mutton nnd hearty food Just the samo In ApriTor May asln Decem ber or January. Nature brings them up with a round turn, aud says: "Qlvo me a fair show, If you won't treat mo right I'll be revenged I" And so tho man has a "spring appetite," and drenches himself with bitters, or peppers himself with pills. It Is n great pity that common sense In those matters should be so uncommon. If man Isn't hungry, why should he cat? If bo can eat breakfast aud relish It at 11 or 12 o'clock, but can only force down a few morsels at 7, why shouldn't bo conform to tbo situation 7 Not a fifth part or Ihe civi lized world breakfasts In tbe arbitrary and senseless fashion In vogue In tbls country. Many a man and woman would find their appetlto equal to a plate or orangos, or a dish of oatmeal and cream, or a pinto of bomlny and sugar In tho morning, who ain't eat chops, frcd potatoes aud grlddlo cakes. A bead of lettuco and a sllco of bread and butler will often be relished fur lunch wbero hot soups or cold meats would go untouched. Fish and eggs aro now plen ty and cheap, and they afford a great varie ty ond combination of dishes, especially adapted to the season. Another point is too often forgotten : Spring meaus reuewed activity. If tbe city men who have huddled In lll-ventllated cars all winter, will walk to and from tbelr business, or Tar enough to get up a good glow every day, tbey would soon notice a change In their relish for food. If tho wo men would get out Inlo tbe air spy around tho markets for nlco things to get the borne tablo out of the old familiar ruts visit their children's schools walk for the fun of It, or even to see the spring openings tbo change from the ncrvo-rasplng perplexities and stilling air of the houso would revive tbelr intorest lu tho bill of f.ire. Wo are all too prone to sit still and "sec the wheels go round" in the same old fash ion In matters religious, political, social, Industrial and gastronomies!. If some or tha pretty pious mottoes that adorn our homes could bo traded off for the "golden text" "Variety is tbe Splco of Life" and the useful truth it embodies could be ap plied as it ought to be, (here would bo a good deal mora fun In tho world, and more good digestion, and therefoio It would be less ol "a dog kennel of a place," than tbo dyspeptic philosopher declares It lo be. Golden Rule. JuTyitropIiobla Hydrophobia has bcon known for 3000 years, yet Its cause Is still a matter of spec ulation. It does not origlnato from beat, for dogs in iho warmest climates, such as South Africa, Jamaica, West Indies, and South America, havo never been affected by It. Want of water docs not produce it, slnco dogs have been kept 40 days without water and not gono mad. Insufficient and unwholesome diet arc not the causes, since the curs of Madcria are the vilest and most Ill-kept or Iho world, aud rabies are un known among them. Whether it is a spon taneous production lu tho dog, cat and wolf is also unsettled. The Tact that in remote countries or tbe world, wbero thediseaso has never been commuuicalcd, its exist ence is unknown, would imp1ylbat it must bo acquired by communication, yet Mar ray, an eminent writer on Ihe subject, and otbors believe tbe contrary. Of the real nature or the virus little is known. It has never been analyzed. Though rabies in men Is in most cases commuuicalcd by tbe bite or a dog, yet the symptoms are widely different. Man abhors and detests water with spasmodic loathing, while the dog soarches fur it and drinks with avidity. Tho statistics and experiments in hydro phobia are suggestive and iutercsting. In ocu lation of tbe saliva or rabid animals, as practiced by Herbert Hertwig, succeeded in only 23 per cent, of the animals operated upon, 77 escaping. According to Faber's statistics, out of 145 persons bllteu by rab id animals in Wurlcmburg, only 28 bad hydrophobia. John Huuler records a case where, of 21 persons bitten by a mad dog, only one was nflcctcd. Again we havo of 111 persous hlltou by mad wolves, 07 or more than one-half fell victims. In France, in 1S52, a commission was appointed lo look inlo the subject of rabies, aud of 130 cases In human subjects, 105 wero from Ibo biles or dogs, 20 from Ihe bites or wolves, 8 from the biles of cats, and 5 uuknowu. In G9 cases, where tbo exact date of the appear ance of hydrophobia after tho bile was as certained, it seems that 14 cases were Tatal after tho first month after Iho bile, 41 cases from the end of tho first month to the end or tho third, 8 from beginning of fourth to end of sixth, and G from seventh lo end of tenth month. No cases occurred alter one year. Threo died tho first day, 8 tho sec ond, 23 tho third, 21 the fouitb, 4 Ihe sixth day, aud tbe remaining 10 from seven to twenty days. Cincinnati Commercial. Suciaii from Corn. A factory lc In op eration at Davenport, Iowa, for Ibo making or sugar from cum, tho first in Ihls coun try. This sugar is tho same as maple sug ar, or Is chemically known as glucosu pure maple sugar and glucose being one and tho samo thing. The demand for the article by the confectioners alone In Ibo United States is Immense. Tho sources of supply heretofore have been Franco and Germany, wero glucose is mado from po tatoes. Here It is tho product or corn whol ly. It is as pleasing to Iho (asto as honey. The production or grapo sugar and glucose r-pens a new department for Iowa com. Tbe capaclly of tbo works at Davenport is 500 bushels ptr day, Tbls branch of man ufacture bids fair to become of immense Importance to tbe State and country. Hero is a simple rule for calculating interest: Multiply by tbe number or days and by tbe ralo per cent, and divide by 38. By a new law the legal rate or Interest lu Tennessee has been reduced from 10 lo G per cent. The recently published statistics or sav ings banks in Ireland show that the amount deposited in all tho banks or that country Is 141,270,000, an Increase or 915,000 dur ing the past year. Tho sleam-mnlors furstreet-cars appear ta bave attained a fair measure or success In Philadelphia, aud adjacent cilios like .Baltimore are watching tbo experiment witb much Interest. A Vermonler in Utah writes that since he went tbero In 1859 tbe average depth or the water in Salt lake has increased about 11 feet, and the salt has lessened nearly 50 per cent. A taxidermist during Ihe past winter stuffed 178 snow owls, shot on tbe Long Island coast. These white owls are from the Arctlu regions, and appear in this vi cinity only once In seven years. Tbe suspension bridge at Niagara Falls is reported, aller a thorough examination, to be entirely safe. Of 1450 wires constitut ing the four large cables, only ten of the minor ones were found corroded, aud these luvo been replaced by nevr once. ft tsaonatiis Hints. I suppose you put a tlllto field lu grass last year. If so you have n fino bit of work to pick tbo stones off It, If It Is anything liko the avcrago of New England farms. My way Is lo begin early In the spring, as soon as Iho ground is fairly thawed, beforo lliogims Marls lo hide any of tho stones, and with a potato digger orpioiigod hoc, to dig out overy stono that shows above the surface that Is luro ounuith lo bo lakcn ou the boo without fulling between tho teeth ; as fast ns taken out Ibey nro throw r. Into heaps, whcie they i main until the ground Is hard enough todilvo over with a cart with light load without culling deep ruts In the soil laud) then draw out ol' the way ; no bending tbo back all day j no wearing Iho skin elf Ihe lingers, or breaking Iho nails If a stono Is embedded In the earth a little. I understand that an Implement has bcon manuuietureil expressly for this work very much in shapo llko a long handled manure fork, but with stronger teeth ; I have uot seen one, and doubt if I should like It better than Iho pronged hoe, though it might bo very convenient when It came to loading the stones Into Iho call. But It Is a satisfaction lo see a Held clear of any stones which would Interfero with scythe, limning machine or tho growth ol gras, and to pel clear also or Ihe back aching task or picking stones by hand. Old meadows wbero there uio only a lew scattering siones may, and should be, cleaned up very quickly by going over them wllb a basket on the arm In which to put all the stones and sttcks which may be found ou Ibo surface. Every hour spout at (his work now will sive two at grinding tools In baying time. ir you mean to raise potatoes this year you must fight for them. The most Im portant part of tho battle Is the planning It rightly. H you can so plan yours that the potatoes will bo up nnd gel strength to re sist Ihe attack or the enemy beforo tho bugs discover them, you will have gained a great advantage, the advantage of position. Why not, then, If you bave sasbes, make a hot bed, or If not u pile of horse manuro aud leaves or straw In somo warm sunny place, will do, and upon that spread your pota toes out In such pieces as you would want lo put In tho bill, placing the pieces a few Inches nparl and coveting lightly with the straw, w ater frequently, and see that yuu do net allow il to get loo hot so as lu bake your potatoes. There they can sprout, and you may allow the sprouts logrow somo three or four Inches high. In tho mean time gel your ground ready early ns you con, and w hen ready lake up your potatoes carefully and set them in the hill, drawing the dirt up around Iho sprout, but not cov crlng Iho leaves. Yon have .v our potatoes up and practically btcd as early asotheis plant, and before the festive Colorado chap comes out of bis Inter quarters, your po taloes may laugh ut him, and tell him he bad belter try somebody or his own size, And you will be not only tun or three weeks ahead of him, which will by so much lessen your ballle witb him, but you will be two or three weekscarllcr Into mar ketwltb them, svhlcb will give a teller chanco for a gocd price. The extra ilnio taken to set the plants instead of planting in tbo usual way will bo moro than mado up by saving one hoeing. I would recommend Iho Wakefield cab bage, (or if your garden Is sandy (ho Win ulngstadl), tho Trophy, or Victor tomato ; Iho Hell and Iho Cbcity pepper nnd the Hanson lettuce ss si. '.tablo varieties for starting under glass; cucumbers, summer squashes and melons may also be forced somo weeks earlier by taking tbe troublo to take a few sods, six nr eight Inches square, and Inverting them, planting tho seeds by pu-hlng them two Inches or so In lo the earth side of tho sod, keeping Ihem warm and moist. After tbe young plants have mado three or four leaves, If the ground and weather aro warm enough, Iho sod can be taken up with Ibo plants on It and set carefully Into tiro bills where you wish Ihem to grow, drawing dirt well around them. Don't get "dog-grass" sods, or "blue joint," as tbey will glow either sldo up, and you would bo likely lo have a grassy bill of plants. Among other work for early spiing is the beating or manure on the mowing land, whether dropped there by callle or spread as top-dressing; harrowing arid sowing clover-seed upon spots w here the grass has winter killed, IT not so Inrgo as to mako it worth while to re-seed; and tho selling or n few bens as soon us pos-lble, In nuler to bnvo a few early chickens to sell and early pullets lo kceplo supply eggs next winter they are the best layers. " Young Far mer" Xotes in Boston Journal. Mr. Bayard Taylor, writing of animal nature in tho Atlantic, tells Ibis story of a parrot owned by a friend in Chicago: When the great tire was ragiug, Its owner taw that she could rescue nothing except what she took in her hand". There wero two ob jects equally dear, tho parrot and the old family Bible, and she could lake but one. Alter a moment of hesitation alio seized lire Bible, aud was hastcnins away, when the parrot cried out in aloud and solemn voice, "Good Lord, deliver us!" No hu man being could have been deaf lo such an appeal ; tho precious ISiblo was sacrificed and iho bird saved. He was otherwise a clever bird. In tho home lo which ho was taken llieie were among other visitors a geutlemau rather noted for volubility. When the panot first beard him it listened In silence fortiome lime, then lo tbo amaze ment of all present It said very emphatic ally, "You talk loo much!" Tbo gentle man, at first embun-ed, presently re sumed his inter rupted discourse. There upon Ihe parrot laid Ins head on one side, gavo an Indescribably comical aud con temptuous "H'm m 1" and added, "There ha goesagaiu I'' Why AiltertUi-r People somellmos ask why docs Dr. II. V. Pierce or Buffalo, N. Y., spend so much money in advertising his family medicines, which are so well known and surpass all other remedies In popularity and sale. It is well known that A. T. Stewart consider ed it good policy, and undoubtedly It paid him, to spend many hundred thousand dollars in advertising bis goods, yet no body questioned the excellence of his mer chandise. The grand secret of success lies In offering only goods which possess merit to sustain themselves, aud then through liberal and persistent advertising making tbe peoplo thoroughly acquainted with their good qualities. Men do not succeed in amassing great fortunes, establishing thriving and permanent business, and founding substantial Institutions like Dr. Pierce's Graud Invalids' Hotel at Buffalo, which cost over two hundred thousand dollars, unless their busluess be legitimate, tbelr goods meritorious, and their services which Ihey render tbo people genuine and valuable. Dr. Pierce does not attempt to humbug you by telling ynu that his Ciold en Medical Discovery will cure all ills eases. He says "If your lungs aro hair wasted by consumption, my Discovery will not cure you, yet as a remedy for so vote coughs, and all curable bronchial, throat, and lung affections, I believe It to bo unsurpassed as a remedy." Tbe peoplo have confidence in his medicines because he does not over-recommend them, and when tried thoy givo satisfaction. His Medical Adviser, a book of over nine hun dred pages, illustrated by two hundred and eighty-two engravings and bound In cloth aud gilt, Is offered lo tbe peoplo at so mod erate a price ($1.50 post paid), Ibat It is no wonder that almost one hundred thousand bave already been sold. His memorandum books are on every druggist's counter for free distribution. OntoiNAt.

Account! cf important scientific discoveries, the application of science to the practical arta, and tha latest Tlewa put forth concerning natu ral phenomena, have been given by aatants of the highest authority. Prominent attention haa been alao devoti d to thoie various sciences which help to a better understanding of the nature of man, to tbe bearings of science upon the questions of society and government, to scientific education, and to the con flicts which spring from the progressive nature of sci entific kno'-dge. Tbe Popui.r science llonthly has long since ceased to be an experiment. It has passed into a circulation fir be j ond tbe most sanguine hopes at first enter tained, aud the cordial and intelligent approval which it has everywhere met, shows that its close and In structive dUcussiona bave been well appreciated by tbe reading portion of the American people. It has not been lis policy to make boastful promises of great things to be done in the future, but rather to appeal to what It has already accomplished as giving it a claim upon popular patronage. Bat no pains will be spared to Improve It and make it still more worthy of literal aupport, and still more a necessity to tbe culti vated classes cf the country. The following quotations illustrate tbe way it has been habitually spoken of by tbe press: "It Is, beyond comparison, tbe best attempt at Jour nalism of the kind ever made in this country." cm e Jour not, "It is Just what is wanted by the curious and pro gressive mind cf this country, and ought to be widely circulated."-. r.i.'.i7 Pott.
