The Ilecent Balloon Voyage.
The Cleveland Lnulvr contains the fol
lowing account of the recent remarkable
journey made by the mammoth balloon
"City of Buffalo," which ascended at
Cleveland. Five representatives of the
press accompanied 1'rof. Kinjr on this
trip-
Loosed from the cords and ballast that
had held the " Buffalo" anchored so
quietly for nearly twenty-four hours, the
praecful globe rose majestically above
the houses and spires of'thc Forest City.
Gazing down from this "bad emi
nence" upon the beautiful square and
the lovely avenues of Cleveland, upon the
vast throngs which rilled streets and
house-tops and looked as dazzlingly
beautiful as the colors of a kaleidoscope,
us the gay ribbons and bonnets of the
fair sex moved about in the sunlight,
perhaps a grander panorama could not
bo imagined. There, too, were our
friends, our wives, our children, upon
whose loving faces we might perchance
never look again. But there was no time
to indulge in gloomy fancies, for all were
completely wrapped in admiration of
the gorgeous scenes above, below and
about them. At noon cur altitude was
2,971 feet, and we seemed almost station
ary for a short time, but the professor
gradually discharged his sand ballast,
hoping to find a sea-breeze at a higher al
titude, and thus be enabled to pass over
the land. After a short experience there,
however, it was found that we were des
tined to a voyage lakeward, and perhaps
to Buflalo, which would have been a sat
isfactory arrangement.
Passing almost directly over the crib,
at an altitude of 2,400 feet, a loud shout
was heard from the men employed there
on, and at the suggestion of the profes
sor we replied with three cheers and a
tiger. Soon thereafter a schooner was
discovered directly beneath the balloon,
and it was seen that she was "carrying
a bone in her mouth," with a breeze from
the northeast, and it was hoped that by
descending a little we should reap the
benefit of a landward breeze and be waft
ed back over the agricultural regions of
Northern Ohio. At 12:20 our altitude
w as 2,"27 feet above the lake.
At l:-i0 p. in. the " Buffalo" was off
Painesville, and the air still very light
and variable. Jlr. Ilolden sat with his
instruments constantly before him, and
he consulted barometer and thermometer
from time to time, reporting to Prof.
King the status of affairs, whether we
were rising or falling. After a good sub
stantial lunch the members of the ex
pedition joined the chorus of several
songs, under the leadership of Prof.
King, who possesses considerable musical
taste and ability.
At two p. m. we noticed the singular
but well-known phenomena of the
different current of air in the upper
region. The schooner, which we saw far
beneath us, was making short tacks with
the wind from the northeast, while we,
at a height of 1,752 feet, were borne
slowly in that direction. That is, we
were under the influence of a light air, it
could hardly be called a breezc.from the
southwestward.
Prof. King on getting over the lake let
down his drag-rope, a two-inch manila
cord, about three hundred and fifty feet
in length. This had a tendency to steady
the air-ship, so that its motion was al
most imperceptible.
At 2:30 the spars of a three-masted
vessel were seen standing about ten or
twenty fet above the surface of the wa
ter, otl" Painesville and between that
point and Ashtabula. Our highest alti
tude up to three p. in. was 2,0lWi feet. At
3:l"i, 4,200 feet above the level of the
lake, or 4,70 feet above sea-level; 6:4."
p. ni., 1,000 feet.
Just below Eric peninsula Prof. King
decided to approach the lake and try the
merits of the drag-rope. Descending
until within about fifty feet of the water,
we struck the northeast current of wind,
and instead of reaching Buffalo, as we
had hoped to do at one time, we were
borne swiftly on the back track, and
were swept along about west-southwest.
Soon afterward the current again changed
and our course was thence about west
northwest and we gradually nearcd the
land, to our satisfaction, and Hew past
Point au Pin, and slowly descending we
eagerly scrutinized the shores to distin
guish any prominent point or settlement
that might lie in our path.
At 7 p. in. we ran in over the Canada
shore, and sweeping down, close over the
land, we ascertained that we were just
below Point au Pelee, in the town of
Mcrsea, in Essex County, crossing thence
the township of West Tilbury, and the
widest iortion of Lake St. Clair, soaring
above the clouds in our transit.
This was one of the most intenselj' in
teresting and remarkable experiences of
our trip. One's breath seemed to hang
tremblingly upon his lips, and he might
n )t have been surprised, at any moment,
to have witnessed the fairy nymphs of
elf-land dancing around him in weird and
graceful evolutions. The great globe
above our heads seemed poised in a per
fect vacuum, while not a woidwas spoken
for some minutes, as the minds of all
seemed wonder-struck at the strange,
imposing scene.
While sweeeping over the county of
Essex we had frequent exchanges of
words with the inhabitants, whom King
a.ked to take hold of our drag-roje.
One fellow, an Irishman, undoubtedly,
sang out. "Och! yees are going too fast
for that!" So on we swept on our airy
flight, now rising, now slightly falling,
and discharging ballast from time to time
as circumstances demanded. A weird
aad imposing scene lay below us, while
at times we were borne along on the
wings of the wind literally, and all the
time a solemn stillness reigned.
At one point of our passage across the
Canada shore our drag-rope caught in a
tree, and we were steadily anchored, as
it seemed. Not so steadily, either, for
the wind blew in strong gusts, and the
aerial monster swayed fearfully above
our heads. Mr. King cautioned usto ob
serve the utmost calmness in case of our
sudden extrication, which at last was ef
fected by discharging ballast, and the
balloon then fairly "jumped, rising
suddenly and swiftly aloft, and almost
jerking the passengers from their seats
and their firm hold on the ropes around
us.
The wicker basket in which six human
beinzs were seated, with naught else in
lerveninjx between them and a fearful
fall, seems of the slightest build; and
vet the wcll-seasond willow branches of
which it is composed are so thoroughly
and perfectly braced and supported that
a short experience within it was sufficient
to establish its strength and make one
feel that he might hold his life by slight
er tenure than this.
And thus the long hours passed rapidly
away, the company relieving the tedium,
if such there were, with jest and song.
Never in the course of a long life and
one ol varied voyagings has such a
strange and wonderful experience been
enjoyed by at least one of the occupants
of tnat -wicker basket, hung so dizzily
below the mammoth " Buffalo" balloon;
nor would that individual exchange the
experience and strange enjoyment of
this voyage to and through cloud-land
for any that has ever fallen to his lot,
save, perhaps, that experienced once
before the ice-scene of the Arctic re
gions, under a perpetual sunlijrhtof thirty
one days, on the memorable search for
and rescue of Dr. Kane. This part of
our wonderful trip was attended with the
most impressive and striking thoughts
and feelings. Here ourheight was about
a mile and a half above the sea, ana a
iialf milejabove the fleecy, floating clouds
unon which we looked down with inue
scribable feelings. Now we are borne
along perhaps at the rate of about forty
miles an hour, and yet the motion was
imperceptible almost, and I thought that
the " sleep" of a humming top, at its
greatest velocity, came as near a descrip
tion of it as I could just then imagine.
Each member of the expedition seemed
to be particularly drowsy, and the feeling
was akin to that of the most exalted
opium-smoker in his beautiful visions of
Paradise ana me nouns
After an hour and a half of this cloud
experience as nearly as we could judge,
for as no fire was allowable near the
gassy monster we could only judge of
our course and time by guess-work,
Prof. King judged it wise to approach
our nether world more closely to take
observations, for it was the opinion of
several, familiar with lake navigation,
that we were going in the direction of
Lake Huron, a course that was to be
carefully avoided in the present state of
our ballast and gas, which had both been
largely drawn ujon.
Sighting the earth once more we saw
the lights and fires of charcoal-burners,
and the top valve was opened freely and
often to expedite our descent. Nearing
the abodes of our fellow-men once more,
we found that our course had been
changed in all probability, and the lights
of a large town were discerned, while as
we approached the earth and could dis
tinguish the dwellings we rent the upper
air with repeated cheers to the extent of
our voices. On our right hand lay a
river, which I hardly supposed wide
enough for the St. Clair, and hundreds
of lights were gleaming in every direc
tion. Our drag-rope now was sweeping
over the tops of the trees and roofs of
the dwellings, causing the basket to sway
violently to and fro and rendering a good,
firm grip almost ineffectual to hold one
firmly in a place of safety.
Swiftly now we approached the earth,
calling lustily from time to time for aid
from those below who might hear our
earnest shouts, though still we were
doomed to disappointment, for no an
swering halloo was borne to our expect
ant cars.
But now the time had come for deci
sive and immediate action, and Mr. King
pulled frequently on the upper valve
rope, causing a rushing discharge of gas,
and a consequent rapid descent of the
inflated monster which had borne us so
swiftly and safely over a perilous passage
of 4o6 miles, two-thirds of which was
over the waters of Lake Erie and St.
Clair. All our thoughts and enemies
were now called into active play, for the
landing of this almost unwieldy air-ship
was an event, we well knew, fraught
with many dangers. Firstly, we might
strike a small pine, or become entangled
in the branches of the forest trees; our
balloon, of such slight fabric, might be
rent in a moment from top to bottom,
spilling out its living freight upon the
impaling branches of the tall monarchs
of the forest. It might be borne over
some of the many charcoal pits and the
gas become suddenly ignited before we
could extricate ourselves.
But down, still down we descended,
until a clear spot seemed to be close at
hand, and on a sudden "plump" came
our basket upon term finiui once more,
and King and Cozad grasped the stump
of a burnt log, and while the latter
clung to it with all his might and main
Prof. King quickly passed the lanyards
attached to the heavy iron rings at the
base of the balloon around the bole of a
tree, and another one took hold of the
drag-rope and securelv fastened it around
a neighboring log. Each one was cau
tioned not to leave his seat in the basket,
as all the weight was needed to make
our anchorage secure. Thus we re
mained, the air-ship meantime swaying
fearfully overhead, and threatening to
tear out anchor and trees from their
earthly hold. One of the number was
dispatched to rouse the neighborhood
and get such aid as we greatly needed in
order to bring our unruly ship to the
ground w ith as little damage as possible.
In a short time a sufficient number of
men and boys had assembled to grad
ually secure the rampant fabric, whose
peculiar and appropriate place was
above th clouds, and which seemed
to struggle against any contamination
with the grosser earth,
until after two hours of
that this victory was

us. imring all these hours of midnight
toil the rain poured down upon us, and
at four o'clock on Saturday morning we
accepted the proffered hospitality of the
Widow Mudge and her next neighbor,
and sought a couple of hours of needed
rest; for the cramped position of our
legs in that wicker basket for twelve
long hours made a reclining one very
grateful.
We learned that our landing had been
effected at the above locality, in St. Clair
County, about three miles from Smith
Creek Station, on the Grand Trunk Hail
road, and twelve miles from Port Huron.
Our highest altitude was attained at
three p. m. of Friday, being 4,01)7 feet
above the lake level.
In passing over Mersca Township, Es
sex County, on the Canada side, we de
scended within 500 feet of the lake level.
Thence sweeping over West Tilbury
Township, we crossed Lake St. Clair
about half a mile above the clouds.
The lowest temperature was indicated
by the thermometer while over the lake
at 5fi deg., and the highest at 73 deg.
Fahrenheit.
Prof. King justly considers that this is
one of his most wonderful and success
ful trips through the realms of space, and
it most certainly is so. Perhaps our
passage up and down the lake is without
parallel in the history of ballooning.
Passing to the northeast, mid way between
the American and Canada shores, to a
point some distance below Erie, at a high
altitude, with a southwest wind, then
falling until our drag-rope touched the
water, and reaching the southwesterly
current of air.we were borne back toward
the southwest with great velocity for
some time, when the wind was found to
be setting us quite rapidly on a west
northwest course, and well in toward the
Canada shore.
The Planets of Our System.
Astronomical science is making rapid
progress, jien make the study ot the
starry heavens their life-work, and start
ing where those of preceding genera
tions left oil', and aided by more and
more perfect optical instruments, are
discovering profounder wonders in that
vast department of the works of God
than any of which Newton or the cider
Ilerschel ever dreamed.
It is right that Christians should think
of these things and learn what they can
of them. David "considered" Gotl's
heavens and the doing of it inspired his
devotion and deepened his humility. Let
us, then, for a little turn our attention
not to the far-off fixed stars which we
know to be other suns, but so distant
that we can discover nothing new but
to our near neighbors, the planets of our
own sun, members ot our own family.
Uf Jlercury, which is so near the sun
as to be always in a blaze of licht, but
little is known, except that it is much
less in DUIK than the earth, and very con
siderably more dense. Whether it is an
abode of animal life is a problem which
mortal men will probably never solve.
V enus is very nearly the size of the
earth, and has a day within a few min
utes ol the same length. It has water,
as the earth has, because its sky has an
abundance of clouds. That it has vege
table and animal life is highly probable,
because all the conditions necessary for
such Hie appear to exist, and it may he
that there are beings there capable of
knowing and worshiping God. This,
however, to the inhabitants of the earth
must ever be a matter of mere conject
ure. But what we cannot know just
now we shall know hereafter.
Of the earth we need not sneak other
man to say that it is the third in the se
ries of the planets, and is the first of the
series that is attended by a satellite.
Jiars is much smaller than the earth
nut in other respects very much like it
It has seas and clouds, and during its
winters extensive tracts of snow can be
seen. Its seas are much narrower than
the ocean of this globe, and more numer
ous. They are more like the Mediter

tains cannot be determined. It is highly

T i .. . r . .
ixwn jursanamc next great se
ries, of which Jupiter is the first and
largest, there are perhaps hundreds, pos
sibly thousands, of little bodies called as
teroids, more than a hundred of which
have been discovered and named, but of
which nothing more is knownorcanbe
known than that they exist, and have their
own proper orbits more or less eccen
trie, borne of them are so small that
their entire surface would not equal
some of our countries. Jt js probable
that they are like our own moon, nothing
but barren rock. The notion expressed
by some that they are the fragments of
an exploded planet is no longer enter
tained by men of science. But the
broad track of the asteroids separates
between two great families of planets,
the first or inner system consisting of
Mercury, Venus, the earth (with its
moon) and Mars; the outer system made
up of the four great planets Jupiter.with
four satellites; Saturn, with its rings
and seven satellites; Uranus and Nep
tune. The first four iay all be the abode
of life, as we know one of them to be;
but recent careful observation fchows
that Jupiter, the giant of the entire plan
etary system, is not yet in a condition to
admit of the existence of life of any
kind. The remoteness of the other three
renders any observation of their present
condition well-nigh impossible with the
best instrument yet made; but from all
that can be observed it is believed that
none of them have arrived at a condition
fitting them for life of any kind.
The diameter of Jupiter is more than
ten times that of the earth, and has a
volume exceeding hers 1,230 times. But
w hile the density of the earth is nearly
six times that of water, that of Jupiter
is barely one and a third times that of
water. It follows, therefore, that what
we can see through a telescope is not the
solid body of the planet, but the surface
of a vast and vapory atmosphere thou
sands of miles deep. The amount of
matter in Jupiter is about three hundred
times that of the earth, and about one
hundred times greater than all the planets
combined. We may well suppose that
so vast a globe is the theater of tre
mendous forces. The clouds of Jupiter
arc arranged in belts, running parallel
with the equator, but undergoing fre
quent changes both in width and color.
During the year 1800 a rift in one of
these clouds behaved in such a way as to
demonstrate the startling fact that a
hurricane was raging over an extent of
the territory of the planet equaling the
whole surface of our earth at a rate of
fully 150 miles per hour. Such a hurricane
on our earth would destroy every
tree and building in the territory over
which it raged, and cause universal deso
lation. It raged six weeks.
So great is the diurnal velocity of Ju
piter that it makes an entire revolution
in a little less than ten hours, carrying
the surface at the equator at the rate of
seven and one-half miles per second.
' From the rising of the sun to the set
ting thereof" is but five hours. This
great velocity has flattened its poles cor
respondingly, so that its equatorial diani
cmeter exceeds its polar diameter by 7,000
miles.
Appearances indicate the presence of
very much water in Jupiter, that is, in
its atmosphere; for it is almost certain
that none is yet lying upon its surface in
seas and oceans, for the Creator has not
yet "divided the waters which were
under the firmanent from the waters
which were above the firmament," and
then, as Moses has written, " the earth
was without form and void, and darkness
was upon the face of the deep." Then
a vast and dense atmosphere, like that of
Jupiter at present, enveloped the globe,
and then the Spirit of God moved in
fearful hurricanes upon the face of the
waters, like that storm in Jupiter just
spoken of. Thus we are permitted to
see in another planet something of the
energy of the Almighty mentioned in
the first eight verses of the first chapter
of Genesis; and thus is science made to
interpret one of the profoundest and
most difficult passages in revelation.
Jupiter is yet red hot, "for, during
the last two or three jcars, a change of
so remarkable a nature has passed over
it as to imply the existence of forces
more energetic than those at work In
producing atmospheric changes." In the
autumn of 1S70 Mr. Browning, an em
inent optician and observer, " called the
attention of astronomers to the fact that
the great equatorial zone, usually of a
creamy white color, had assumed a de
cidedly orange tint;" and that " the bright
edges of the belts bordering upon this
rudely equatorial zone seemed to be
frayed and torn like the edges of storm
clouds." Our quotations are from the
Cornhill Magazine.
It has been demonstrated that the light
which reaches the earth from Jupiter is
more than the reflected light of the sun
could give, therefore some of it must be
inherent. Another observation was upon
the moons of Jupiter as they passed over
the illuminated disc of the planet, them
selves equally exposed tothe shining of
the sun. 1 he result was that the satel
lite seemed almost black when it was
upon the middle of the planet's disc, as
a cold iron ball would look if swinging
across the face of a mass of molten iron.
Here we have intense heat, some licht
and a vast investiture of watery clouds.
We say watery clouds. We say watery,
for the spectroscope has proved that
there is water there. Is Jupiter cooling,
as our globe probably did in ages long
past? Its enormous size requires for
that process a correspondingly enormous
period; but the time will come it may
c millions of years in the future when
the waters will lie upon its surface, when
plants can spring up, and animals, and,
it may be, intelligent, worshiping beings,
shall cover the face of that immense
world.
In all this we have dealt only with
observed facts, and w ith legitimate facts.
Mere speculations and guesses are lool-
sh and unprofitable; but to know all we
can know of the works of God is a duty
and a privilege. That creative energy is
still going on, and will go on forever, is
a proposition which we may read in the
heavens above us, and which the
Scriptures of Truth do not either ex
pressly affirm or deny. United Presbyterian.

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.
The question is often asked by careful
mothers: " What will remove grass stains
from children's clothing!" An exchange
says that simply wetting and rubbing
the stained cloth in cold water will re
move all traces of the grass. Fruit stains
will disappear on the application of boil
ing hot water. No soap should be used
in either case.
To restore linen that has Song been
stained, rub the stains on each side with
wet brown soap. Mix some starch to a
thick paste with cold water, and spread
it over the soaped places; then expose
the linen to the sun and air, and if the
stains have not disappeared in three or
four days rub off the mixture, and re
peat the process with fresh soap and
starch. Afterward dry it; wet it with
cold water, and put it into the wash.
For whitening scorched linen, it is
often sufficient to wet it with soapsuds
and lay it in the sun. Another method
is, where milk is plentiful, to put one
pound of white soap into a gallon of
milk, and boil the scorched article in it.
Another plan is to squeeze out the juice
of two middle-sized onions, which is
boiled in half a pint of vinegar, with one
ounce of white soap and two ounces of
fuller's earth. The mixture is applied
cool to the scorched part, and when dry
washed off with clean water.
There are several kinds of india-rubber
cement. The best known is 44 marine
glue." A cheaper cement and one that
is highly recommended is made by cut
ting a quantity of pure india-rubber, in
its natural state, into small pieces, put
ting them in a wide-mouthed bottle and
filling it about half full of the purest
benzine; the rubber will swell up almost
immediately and if well shaken will, in a
few days, assume the consistency of
honey. If the rubber does not dissolve
add more benzine. If, when dissolved,
the cement is too thin, add more gum.
A piece of rubber one inch in diameter
will make a pint of cement. This dries
in a few minutes and is very useful in
uniting pieces of leather, as it is both
clastic and durable.
Road-Dust. Koad-dust should be
gathered before the season closes. This
is often the most convenient absorbent
the farmer can command, and a few
barrels of it will save a large amount of
ammonia in the hennery, the privy and
the stable. Hens should have a large
open box full of it under cover, where
they may dust themselves at their
pleasure. It is an excellent thing to
iiave in the stable, and when saturated
w ith urine makes a valuable fertilizer.
The fineness of the dust, continually
ground by the iron tires and horse-shoes,
is one cause of its favorable action upon
crops. That gathered from a clay soil is
best indeed, sand, whether from the
road or elsewhere, is of but little use as a
deodorizer or absorbent. American Agri
cultvnst. Remedy eor Poison by Ivy. It seems
to me that I read all kinds of cures for
ivy poison except the right one. I have
always endeavored to keep it before the
public, but have failed. It is to dissolve
sugar of lead, a bit the size of a hazel
nut, in half a teacup of sweet milk or
warm water. Apply warm as cau be
borne easily with a soft, linty piece of
linen rag. Three or four applications
are sufficient to eflect a cure. If the
poison is on the face and nearing the
eyes or mouth, this astringent wash may
be constantly applied. It is a marvelous
cure, and by watching closely one can
see the fevered blisters turn front white
to yellow during the application. This
remedy for ivy poison should prevent a
great deal of suffering. It is well where
a member of a family is easily poisoned
to keep sugar of lead in the house all the
time. Let it be labeled and kept where
it can be found the moment it is wanted

A SlUXER.
The point is, that the signer guarantees
that, at the time, he is good for the debt,
and, tailing in this, becomes a criminal,
and is liable to be sent to the Peniten
tiary, for not less than a year, for obtain
ing goods under false pretenses. A bet
ter way is to do as he has done before
do without the goods until the money is
ready, and then the same goods may be
purchased at 20 to 30 per cent. less, and
all this trouble is avoided. If you want
a sewing-machine let your wife wait
year and get along as before, and not
put her husband in an unpleasant posi
tion, and in the end make the machine
cost him two prices. One of my neigh
bors took this course, and a few weeks
since presented his wife with a first-class
machine for $37.50, while another has
just paid his note, given a year ago, for a
no better machine at Sj, and to do this
a part of the money had to be borrowed
There is an economy of purchase as well
as an economy of labor that must have
the attention of the farmer. The pur
chasing power of a farmer's note is about
one-half that of ready cash; and, so long
as he makes use of it, so long is he the
subject of the wicked monopolist. Few
farmers fail to meet notes that have such
memoranda attached thereto, but many
times at great sacrifice; and no true wife
will consent that her husband shall sign
such a paper for the purpose of giving
her a sew ing-machine, a buggy, organ
or a farm windmill for pumping, or anew
reaper for himself.
A little attention to these matters will
make no small difference in the year's
result. The other day a banker told me
that he held a laree number of these
farmers' notes, with certificates attached,
and that he considered them the best
kind of security. In this case they were
given for sewing-machines, and the agent
(?) borrowed money on them, ana paia
cash in hand for the machines, getting
larce discount much larger than he paid
for the use of the money. And for cash
in hand he made sales on private terms
most astonishingly low ; billing the good
at the usual crice. but taking a much
smaller sum. Rural, in Chicago Tribune,
Forest Tree Culture.
We have for many years claimed that
the culture of timber trees could be made
as profitable as ordinary farming, even in
regions of country w here natural forests
were comparatively plentiful. If we
carefully examine the trees in any of our
natural forests, especially those composed
of various kinds, we find that a large pro
portion are inferior, if not almost worth
less for anything except fuel.
Many persons form their estimate of
the value of an acre of cultivated trees
from the quality of those growing upon
a similar area in our natural forests; but
they could scarcely make a greater mis
take. We doubt, for instance, if there is
an acre of second-growth hickory forest
anywhere which will yield 1,000 hoop-
roles ; but it is well known that by regu-
arity in planting and proper cultivation
5,000 to 10,000 would not be an extraordi
nary yield from the area named. 1 he
same rule holds good with all other kinds
of trees, whether they are to be used
while small or allowed to grow up into
timber large enough for building pur
poses. The best sugar maple groves in
our jNorthern States include usually a
number of other kinds of trees, and if
the latter were removed the position of
those remaining would be very irregular.
Some would be crowded, while others
would have more room than they require
to insure health and old age.
In uncultivable lands uniformity is out
of the question, and the most that can be
done is to plant such kinds of trees as
arc desirable and in the best spots which
can be found for their reception. There
are also millions of acres of land in the
older States from which the large trees
have been removed and the young
growth permitted to take its chances in
a struggle for existence among briers,
weeds and small shrubs of no value what
ever. Here a little attention in cutting
out inferior sorts and thinning the good
trees would certainly be a profitable in
vestment for the owners.
The few who have paid particular at
tention to this subject of improving natu
ral forests or planting new ones arc all
agreed in regard to the profit side ot the
question, and this should encourage
others to try their hand. But forest tree
cultivation on an extensive scale must
for many years to come be confined to
the Western prairies, where at the present
time more attention is being paid tothis
orancn oi industry man eisewuere.
Much as there has been done, there is
still room and actual need of millions of
trees for where there are now only hun
dreds growing.
But it is to be feared that great mis
takes have been made in regard to the
kinds planted, the cheapest and most
rapid-growing being selected in prefer
ence to the most valuable. Cottonwood
and willow may answer to 6tart with
where there is no timber of any kind,
but they are really of no value except
for shade, shelter and firewood. But
the farmers out West will soon, and in
fact do now, need something better than
these soft, spongy kinds of wood
Ilickery, ash, maple, and other hard
woods are required not only for fuel, but
for mechanical uses, and there should be
no delay in securing the seeds and get
ting the young seedlings started
For tough timber suitable for the ordi
nary farm implements, ash, elm, hickory
and oak are probably the west, while
chestnut, maples of the different species.
locust, whitewood, and black walnut
should be extensively pi anted for various
other purposes. An acre of each would
not come amiss upon every large farm
but there are few localities where all the
different kinds would do equally well
The white oak succeeds best in light or
heavy soils, while the elm prefers a
moist soil full of vegetable matter. All
the hickories thrive in a rather heavy
clay, although some, like the common
thick shell, are found on high, dry, but
stony lands. Chestnuts prefer a rather
dry, sandy soil ; old red sandstone seems
to be its natural home, while clay or lime
stone soils are not congenial. Sugar
maples thrive best in limestone or slaty
sous, succeeding poorly in sand or peat
lands, while the scarlet and silver leaf
maple grow best in land containing
large amount of humus. Locusts and
black walnut seem to thrive in almost
any land not too wet. From these varie
ties any farmer should be able to make
a selection suited to his locality and spe
cial needs. A few acres of hickory or
ash would pot come amiss even in the
older States, where these kinds are most
abundant, but in a prairie country the
value must certainly be greatly en
hanced through scarcity.
Lither the seeds or one or two year old
seedlings of any of the kinds named can
be procured so cheaply that cost can
scarcely be urged as an excuse for not
attempting their cultivation. Whether
seeds or seedlings are procured to begin
with, the land for their reception should
be thoroughly prepared this fall, and the
earlier the better, for to have land in
good tilth is as important with trees as
with other farm crops. The seeds may
be mixed with moist sand and kept in
boxes buried in the open ground through
winter. We prefer this mode of keeping
seeds to that of planting them in autumn
because they are more readily protected
from mice and other vermin than when
widely scattered, and if sown early in
spring the chances of success are equally
good. There is no good reason why
every farmer should not raise all the or
dinary kinds of timber required for use
upon the farm. It is no more difficult to
raise trees than corn, but the first require
little more time to bring them to a
marketable or useful age. N. I". Sun.

Report of the Inspections
Jlade by the Hartford Steam Jioiler Insjieetion
of June, 1S73.
Durin? the month 1,131 visits of inspection
were made and 2,04 boilers examined 1,929
externally and 62-2 Internally; while 220 were
tested with hydraulic pressure. The defects
discovered were 850, of which 207 were re
garded as dungerous. Furnaces in bad con
dition 35 i danjjerous. AVe have often called
attention to the fact that manufacturers in
providing themselves with boiler power do
not look beyond present wants. If their
business increases and new machinery is
added, they instruct their enirineer to run at
an increased pressure, and the boilers are often
forced beyond their safe ability. The severe
firing necessary burns and contorts the fur
nace sheets. This practice furnishes manv of
the cases desiifnated in these reports as 44 Fur
naces out of shape." Abundance of boiler
power and slow combustion is true eeonomv.
Fractures 4o 19 danercrous. Manv of these

The use of aniline is severely reprehen

An Act of Jtstice. Doubting Castle
was a sad stumbling-block in the path of
uunyan s Christian, though it couldn t
bar his way to Truth. We can sympa
thize with the pilgrim, for Doubt always
besets us when we are asked to believe
anything particularly extraordinary.
Consequently, when we heard, some
eighteen months ago, that a physician in
California had compounded from the
juices and extracts of certain herbs found
there a medicine that cured almost every
variety of blood disease, we were incred
ulous. Since then we have had opportu
nities of testing the accuracy of the re
port, and are free to admit that our
doubts have vanished. Seeing what we
have seen, knowing what we know, it is
impossible for us to question the remedial
properties of Dr. Walker's Vixeoar
Bitters. That this famous vegetable
Tonic, Alterative and Antiseptic is a
specific for Dj'spepsia, Liver Complaint,
Chronic constipation, r ever and Ague,
Bilious Intermittens, Scrofulous Taint
in the Blood, Incipient Consumption,
Local and General Debility, Rheumatism,
&ick Headache and diseases of the Kid
nevs seems to he a matter bevond the
pale of controversy a fixed fact in medical
hixtory. The statements of friends in
whose veracity and intelligence we have
full confidence, corroborated by our own
personal observation, compel us to admit
the surpassing merits of the preparation.
Dr. Piekce's Compound Extract of Smart-
Weed, or Water Pepper, is not recommended
as a cure-all. It should not be classed with

invariably accompanied by extensive de
rangements of the stomach and liver,
and other abdominal viscera. In their
treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow
erful influence upon thesu variotn or
gans, is essentially necessary. There
is no cathartic for tho purpose equal to
Dr. J. Walker's Vinkoar Hmtkrs,
as they will ppecdily remove tho dark
colored viscid nvatter with which tho
bowels aro loaded, at tho same timo
stimulating tho secretions of tho liver,
and generally restoring tho healthy
functions of tho digestive organs.
Fortify the body against df nso

For Inflammatory and Chronic

Cleanse tho Vitiated Mood when

cleanse it when you find it obstructed and
sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is
