Slow to and fro the sentry paced, His musket on his shoulder, ' But not a thought of death or war Was with the brave young soldier. .A.h, no his heart was far away, WherdTbn a Western prairie, ' A rose -twined cottage stood. That night - The countersign was "Mary." And there his own true love he saw, Her blue eyes kindly beaming, Above thous, on her sun -kissed brow, Her curls like sunshine gleaming, And heard laer singing,as she churned The butter in the dairy, The song he loved the best.

Notes of Special Interest to our Country Readers. NEW MODES OF CO1V MILKING. Fruit Tree Growth-learbeet Wire Fences, Etc.. Cow Milking by Machinery. Various devices have been tried with a view to,, dispensing with the slow •and laborious method of hand -milking. Tubes have been inserted in the teats, and rubber imitations of the grasp of the calf's mouth have been attempted, but though these plans have been. partially successful, SO far as drawing the milk is concerned, they have in the end proved failures. Either they do not strip clean or they inflict injuey on the udder. Most experienced dairymen have but blight expectation that milking by • machinery will ever be accomplished. Stile, in this wonderful age, it is difficult to tell what is impossible. Value_ of ran Acre. An acre of, wheat will sustain three and a half individuals foe_aezeter_e_auteteee af., " potatoes, ten persons.In Ireland. the • introduction of the potato has been followed by a decline of every Irish industry excepting agriculture. The small amount of labor required for obtaining sustenance from the potato is taken me the measure of necessary labor, and the time gained is not profitably • epent in developing other industries, but is apt to be passed in idleness. It is so the world over, where the earth yields of its abundance alrnost without toil. -N. E. . • Farmer. An Unexpected Result. • Mr. Rice, at a meeting of the Western N. Y. Farmers' Club, said farmers often do things without 'thinking or cotisidering what the results may be. He knew a man once who had a !steam. Saw and a large pile of ashes and saw -dust' ,had. ac- cumulated. He hired a farmer to 'draw limn away in winter, who drew then:eon:am old orohard, spreading theta thecae or four inches thick. The orchard became very -productive, and for seven years bore heavy crops of very fair fruit. ' Rules or Farmers. 1. Do not over -crop yourself; or in other words, do not undertake more than you can accomplish•with ease. 2. Have a regular system in all you do, and do everything with a clear understand- ing as to result and effect. • • 3. Keep your lands ' well up to a good standard by a proper fertilizing and a judi- cious rotation of profitable crops. 4. Keep none but good stock, and see to it thatesai-desteektisekeptern-good-c-orditiOn: 5. Take good farm papers, together with a few standard farm books written by practical men, who deal only in facts. • • An Acre Measurement. It is often desirable to be able to form a pretty correct estimate of the quantity of land in 'a given field. To aid in.doing this, the following table of measurements has been,constructed : Five yards wide by 963 long contains one acre: Ten yards wide by 484 long contains one acre: Twenty yards wide by 242 long contains one acre, Seventy yards wide by 69.1 long contains one sore. Eighty yards wide by 60 -long contains one acre. Sixty feet wide by 726 long contains one acre. Onelandred and ten feet wide by 397 long contains one acre. One hundred and thirty feet wide by 363 long contains one aore, Four hundred' and forty feet wide by 99 long contains one RCM. Barbed Wire for.renciug. Experience has demonstrated the prac Leal value ofthe'follewing- suggestione tor - constructing barbed-wire fence: Set .stib- stantial poets one rod apart; the post at the starting point should be braced by cut - ling a notch in it two and' a half feet 'fiona the ground, and running a strong pole from the notch to the foot of the second post,' where it is fitted _to rest •firroly, and is Sup-- perted about three inches above the ground by mes,ns of a abort block driven down beside the fence pest. This method of bra,eing should be repeatedonce in forty rods. A faulty construction would ,be to out the notch in the starting post our feet from the ground, make the brace ehorter, and allow the lower end to rest upon the ground; for the moment the wire is tightened -upon the fence'the abort brace acts as a fulcrum to lift the initial post. When the posts are set a wire Is wrapped firmly around the first post, four feet and two inohes from the ground ; then the, coil is unrolled forty' rcids and the wire drawn tight by means of a set, of small pulleys with grapples. After this wire' has been securely stapled, a Beeped ii simi- larly fastened one ftiot below- it, and a third and fourth below this, leaving a foot epee° :between the respective wires ; the ground space is fourteen inches. Four mein thus arranged make a perfect cattle fence. ' For horses the lower wire Should .be without barbs to prevent cutting the knee,' and • it fifth wire should be placed upon the posts five feet fropa the ground. Gossipy Notes. The manner of milking in the Channel Ielatids, the home a the jersey cow, or more properly, perhaps, the Alderney, is peetiliar,and has the merit of cleanliness, at least. \ Milking and straining the milk are done at one operation. The milkmaid, with her tin pail, linen strainer, and sea- shell proceeds to the pasture. Seating her - ,self beside, the cow, she thus completes her. arrangements': The strainer is securely tied over the nareow-mouthed bucket, and placing . the large shallow shell on the strainer she Vigorously directs the stream into the shell. Overflowing the shallow brim, the milk passes throlighthe strainer into the receptacle beneath, the shell being . i used simply to prevent weartng a hole n the linen stainer. It has enlY recently been'*clearly demon- strated tha,t a dead branch on a tree makes almost as great a dtraimon the main plant for moisture as deo a living one, This is one of the most important discoveries ,of • modern botanical science to the practical horticulturists, as by this knowledge he can .159..73 many a valuable tree. -Any dead. branch, or any weak one, shouldebe at once out away. •• Weeds should never be permitted to get an, inch high. Go over the garden beds with a teel rake as often as once a week. The labor will be mere than repaid by the increased growth of the crop, and the weeds will never make their appearance. The labor will be far less than is required to clear Out weeds after they have grown several inches, and have checked and partly spoiled the crop. Horticulturists commonly expect fruit of inferior flavor from moist soils. The cells ere longer and filled with water. On the same hill -slope in Germany three _qualities of_wine_are preeduced, and the variation is wholly owing to 'difference in the soil. Marshall P. Wilder 'States that in the famous 'vineyard of Johannisberg, which he had visited, the wine_ grown at the top of the hill brings 510 per bottle; half-waydown, and at the foot of the hill only 2 francs per bottle. • Washington County, • l'ennisylvania, produces annually .2,500,000 to 3,000,000 pounds of wool, worth in cash 51,000,000 for the wool 'alone, besides the 'sale or fine sheep for, breeding purposes, and mutton, sheep" and lambs for the meat markets of the east. ' Silk -worms have been introduced into Spain from Japan. • It is said that they live and do well in•the open air, and feed mostly on the leaves of the live oak. The -industry -haT been fostered by a Catholic priest who is a distinguished naturalist. ' . Canaing Wait . and W.egctabies. • Having the cans, or jars, the operation is simple. ' The 'fruit, whatever it: may be, in a syrup just strong enough to- properly sweeten it, is brought to the boiling point, and when the air- has been all expelled. from A', it is at epee placed in the ' jars, previously warmed with hot water, and when these are well filled, the eover is i;creveed down tight. Geed jars, well 'filled with boiling fruit, and promptly covered lty screwing down the caps; will- -insure suc- cess. Many years ago, when caning was not so general as it is now, we showed how any Common wide mouthed bottle could be used, but at present, jars made up fee the purpose are so cheap, that itis , not neeeS, sery---to-reserr toa-any—make-shiftser A.mong the first things ' to, be put Up' in this 'manner is rhubarb. Thie, as shown na A.pril last, can be readily canned,_ and green' gotstebereites---mayabe --trisected 'hi the same manner.Strawberries and raspberries come resit, and are bette'r preserved in the same manner than by any other, but these, especially the Straw- berry,.while .vastly better when preserved thus th'an -.in any other manner, .come far sheet of retaining their original flavor. Peachefi' are' easily preseryed thue, and are:nearly perfect, as are pears, especially the Bartlett apples andquinces. One who has put up the quince in .this•manner will tweet.' preserve- it accuditig to the old. pound to pound method. All the highly flavored . apples,' preserved by canning ,make a finer apple sauce than.can be pro- duced in any other =menet. The ueual 'Process is, to cook the fruit, of whatever kind, in a fiyrilp. Made. With foar °tweet! Of. sugar, to a pint•of water. When the fruit ia enolted tender, transfer it at once to the jar, and add the syrup to fill up crevices, if there are bubbles of air', aid them to escape by the use of.a 'span ; see that the jar is olid full of fruit and syrup, and up to the top before the cap isscrewed on. While fruits . • are easily preseryed In the family, vege- tables are moredifficult. We' have many inquiries about' preserving green peas, green cora and tomatoes. Those who make 'a business or canning, find green peas and green coin among the most difficult things topreserve. They can only be put up in tin cans ,by long boiling processes, not practicable in families. . If any of our readers have found ' a method by which either porn or peas can be preserved by any preens practicable in the family, we ask them to communicate it, for the benefit of others.. Lastautumn we made an exPeri- ment with tomatoes. Thoroughly ripe fruit was cooked as for the table, omitting butter and all other seasoning,'„and put-up • in ordinary fruit jars. About 3 out of 12 failed, but those which succeeded Were vastly better' than the toinatoes rue- sehased in tin cans. °Mario Rich in Treee.

A Peru, Ind., despatch says: There live in this county a large number of Dunkers, or Dunkards, as they are more oomnaonly known. They are among bur thriftiest and wealthiest ekes of farmers. They have a large brick church in the northern part of the county, and their meetings, are largely attended from miles, around. Lately there has grown a division among the head men • of the Church, which culminated to -day in twenty-five of the most prominent Men withdrawing from theChurch erttirely. The religion of the Diinliards, as is well known, is to follow strictly and literally the Bible. They adhere greatly to forms, and their mode of life and dress is sim- plicity itself. At their annual church meeting it is customary for the brethren to wash one another's feet, after the man- • ner of the twelve Disciples. No hasten - mental music of any kind whatever is allowed in their house of worship. On these two points the trouble conernences. The dissenters held that while one brother should wash the feet of the member aaaother should cley the same. The old sch-661 claa-that one man ,should perform both of the duties. The second.point of controversy lies in the fact that certain Dunlearcle, - having amassed a goodly store of this world's goods, have introduced into their houses certain ungodly musical in- strumente and have had their daughters instructed to play upon ,the same. Now the staid old-timers refuse to, take these musically -inclined daughter e into the Church,whereat the farmers withdraw, eta. The whole Church is having a Mighty war among themselves, and- there is great excitement in the Dunker settlemtnt. - POOPe.II ely ice Sia..ts a _ire. • Mr. Spoopendyeei called Mrs. Spoop- endyke from the head of the stairs. the other ,mOrnieg efter, the sardines-, had, been disposed of.
