Aunt Hannah was particularly happy, happier to all outward appearance than she had been for the last score of years, 0t broad-cloth, purchased a new and splendid lot of furniture, to furnish his house from "cellar to garret;" and the "signs of .the times" indicated that something of import was certainly o-oini? to haDnen. - The splendid parlors of old Farmer G were lighted up on the impor- tant eve, and the company were gathered around , the happy "Aunt."

A Good Hit. A Methodist divine of this city, on Sunday last, adminis tered a most severe rebuke to a common custom in these days, of reading ad- ertisemcnts from the pulpit. A paper was banded him giving notice that "the introductory lecture of the annual course would be delivered on Monday nicdit," &c, at a certain medical insti tution in this city. " The preacher said he had conscientious scruples against cheating the printer by making such announcements m the pulpit; that ne never heard such advertisements read in church without reminding him of the old deacon in Alexandria, who, on a certain occasion exhorted, in most earnest and vehement language, the sinners in his congregation, to repent or they would all go to hell as sure as there was flour for sale in Alexandria, and he was sure there was flour there, for he had received, just the day before, a fine assortment, which he would sell as cheap as any man in the city.

Written for the Nebraska Advertiser. tsa-JsplA-Tting- romsr tsezs. Mr. Editor : How many lonely and barren prairie home3 might be made attractive and beautiful, by setting out, in our yards, he various trees that grow so plcnti "ul in our forests? Why is it, that our 'armors pay so little attention to this subject? Why do they leave their houses and farms open to the cold freezing winds of winter, and scorching' summer's sun? Why not furnish shelter for their stock and dwellings in winter, and cool, delightful shade, in summer. A few days spent in this early day, in procuring and setting out trees, will, in a few years, make our prairie homes, more beautiful than those that have timber, of natures growth. A little labor now spent, will, in a few years, give our homes, in winter, a warm protective look, and in summer, a cool delightful appearance. In a few days, twe men, with a team and sled, can dig, draw and set out quite a little grove, that will, in a few years, make a fine appearance, and do a vast amount of good. :' The best form for setting out trees in a yard, grove or park, is natures plan, that is the irregular or promis cous form, set hero a tree, and there one, and yonder another one, imitate nature, as much as possible, have no rows, or regular distances, about it, but let them be set in clumps, and differen kinds mixed together. Tho regular form, is too unatura and too much of a sameness to look well, or have a pleasant appearance. The better plan is, to have no two trees of a kind near each other, but those of the greatest contrast, so as too mingle them together as much as possible. The best time for setting forest trees, of largo size, is when the ground is frozen; dig around the tree, from two to four feet from the trunk, and some thing like a foot or eighteen inches deep, and then pry it out, roll it on a sled, and take it to tho place for setting out, and have your place dug out to receive it, and put it in, if it docs not fill up the hole prepared for it, finish with other soil, and in the spring the tree will not know it has ever been disturbed, but will grow right along. The most suitable kinds of trees for setting out, that grow m our region lore, are, I think: Ash, Walnut, Elm, Hickory, Red Bud, Cottonwood, Ac. Ash makes a fino pyramid, with branches closely interwoven together, and is a tree, when grown in an open place, of a very fine compact form. Walnut makes a fine open spreading appearance, with long branchinglimbs, thick clustering leaves, and grows very rapidly, and requires more spaco than most other trees. Elm makes a very desirable tree, rich delightful appearance, and should have a place in every collection. Hickory is too often neglected in our choice of trees for a yard, it grows tall and thrifty in an open space, much like the ash, and is worthy of a place in every collection. Bed Bud i3 a small dwarfish tree, found in immense quantities in our forests, it is covered in the spring with beautiful red buds, and in summer and fall with pods, much like the locust. Oottonwood i3 rather to coarse and of too fast a growth to be in the yard, unless it is to make shade and shelter until other kinds are come on and then be removed; but for shelter and shade for cattle, it i3 a very good kind, as its growth is so rapid, that it soon answers the purpose, for which it is set out. There arc other kinds of trees, that do very well for yards, or parks, but the above, I believe, arc the most suitable of any that grow in this region. Tho difference cf success with which these .kind3 are set out, and made to live, i3 very great. Ash very suc cessfully transplanted, Elm and Cot tonwood also, but Walnut and Hickory are removed with difficulty, when of much size, red bud may bo transplant cd easily, or raised from seeds. Now, brother farmc rs, 1 o t us tak e hold of this work, and beautify our home?, protect ' ourselves' and stock," enhanco he value of our farms, incrcaso our desire to exccll, and foster our lovo . or the attractive and beautiful scenery ' of nature More Anon . .... Iloosiint. . To .Measure Hay in Mows. Tho editor of the New Jersey Fap:i&sj$ that he has proved the iollowmg nilo . for finding the number ot tuns oi hay m in a givon bulk : , Tnk-fi a mow of VI or 1 wet m . depth,-and which has been filled with: hay, as it was drawn from the field, and . ,'ir ' 1 . . has been lying tuisnring, cmuutasuio - .1. -i.i -i i tno lengtn, Dreauia,ami iugu. -i" Multiply them to get the cubical con- . tents.

The top ot a mow, say cne-uuru, j rate at 800 feet to the tun; tho middle, ' 700 feet; and the bottom of.tlia mow at G00 so the whole bulk would avc rage 700 feet, if the mow. i 12 or 15 feet deep; but if only 5 or Giect deep, V CAA V.f fV- . T-nr. o-il crv . cordingly with other bulks. . . .- Too Mucn Land. The cultivation - of a large amount of land, r.: the pro cess is performed by many rgricultu-i . 3 rists, is a waste of laborand of fertility impoverishing both the tiller arid tht . soil. Sound judgment, we think, will demonstrate that'large crop-, per acre; a3 a general rule, are the most- profit- able, and experiment will verify it. Ifc . should be tho aim of the farmer to sustain the richness of his land, and ' this can be done only by reducing. tho- . bredth under the plow, proportionate-1 ly' to his capacity for applying such fertilizing materials as will return tho " elements taken therefrom by the crop. ...... , ..ii -i i ii i "A little larm well uneu giamicnci the heart; but a great breadth of acrei cultivated in a slovenly mimier is a blight upon the interests of it.j owner,' . and an evil in the sight of all men; Ventillatino Hay-Stacks.' Tho British farmery have a. method of von-. tillating their hay, oat, and-barley- ; stacks which we may frequcnlly adopt with advantage; and in stacking corn-" stalks it would be always beneficial. They fill a large bag, say 3 felt high and 20 inches in di:imetcr, with 'straw," and place it vertically in the center of! the stack, putting the. barley, oats or. . hay, whichever it may happen to be around it. As the stack rises, they lift' the sack, and so on to the top. In tlii.?. way there is a chimney formed in tho center of the rick or bay, into which, tho steam or gases generated find their trow cinil nsfiTin frx... -Iv". " ' . . Pasture Lands. Remove tho stumps, stones, and brush from your1 ' pasture ranges, and top'-drcss the:n' with a mixture of ashes, lutrut of soda, muriate of lime, gypsum, and guano. If the soil ha3 become thin and u.ipro- ductive, plow in June or September,-; harrow to a hne tilth, and fow on a mixture of fed-top, brown-top, whito; clover, red clover, and timothy 'seed. In.this(way exhausted pastures may, be speedily regenerated, and made to. produce a luxuriant vegetation. , A good pasture 13 a valuable acqm.utica. to every good farmer. . , ',. The Cost of Fencing.
