Early Richmond— HoprER. I have such a 
named cherry. It has been in bearing four 
years. It is good for market because of its earli- 
ncss, and is sure to produce. It is hardy. Sea¬ 
son from 25th of May to June 1 st, It is an 
excellent fruit for canning. I’ettingill— I 
think it soft for shipment. It was recommended 
by vote for general cultivation. 
Common Morello.— Some one said it was bet¬ 
ter for canning than the Early Richmond, and it 
was added to the list by vote. 
BcUc de Choissy —Dr. Warder. If you want 
a sweet Morello, you have got it in this cherry. 
It is belter than the other. The Society did not 
recommend it 
The May Duke was added to the list; while 
the Heine IFortense was rejected — or, rather, 
there were not votes enough to recommend It. 
The Ellon did not got votes enough, although 
several members testified as to its great produc¬ 
tiveness, and their belief that it will succeed. 
Mr. Heaver, of Cincinnati, said:—The Black 
U k have received a very large number of 
responses to the query of a correspondent as to 
the mode of making Ginger Snaps, but can only 
find space for the following: 
1'or one teacup of molasses (or simp,) two 
tablespoons of butter, one of ginger. Put it in a 
tin and set on the stove till it begins to boil; 
^ b^n partly cook'd put in one teaspoon of puda. 
Stiffen with flour; roll out while warm, cut in 
squares and bake in quick oven; they need close 
attention as they bffrn easily. They are best 
when made a week,—M. II., Eric, Pa.

number, round, and from six to eight inches 
long. With this instrument, ground can be 
mode fine and loose to the depth of six or eight 
inches, where spading would prove injurious, us 
among roots and plants of various kinds, as 
boots, carrots, Ac. For dressing cabbage after 
they are set, I know of no instrument ho useful- 
the ground can be stirred to the depth of six 
inches with the same care that it could be gone 
over on the surface with the hoe. Where there 
are any grass-roots, sticks, or smull stones in the 
ground, they are easily taken out by this instru¬ 
ment. 
A cheap and durable garden reel may be 
rnado by taking a piece of pine board, six inches 
wide, thirteen inches long, and an inch and a 
quarter thick, boring a half-inch hole through 
the center edgewise, then cutting about one inch 
oil' from each end, with the exception of half an 
inch at euch comer, to coniine the line when 
wound upon iL The ends should he worked 
down so that it will be two feet round it. A 
hard piece of wood should lx? selected for pass¬ 
ing through the hole in the center; the lower 
end, for about one foot, should be made fiat and 
pointed, for sticking in the ground, a square 
shoulder cut, and above this made proper size to 
pass through the hole in the reel, and secured 
by a small peg llirough the top, to keep the reel 
from sliding off. A Binall pin should be Inserted 
Lamb Chops.— Cut off the end of the hones 
and trim off part of the fat, then pound, wash, 
and dry them on a clean towel, and season with 
pepper and salt. Prepare bread crumbs or 
crackers, as for oysters, whisk two eggs with one 
gill of milk, then dip the chops, one at a time, 
first in the egg, then in the cracker, put the 
crumbs close to the meal, and fry them slowly in

We present our readers with a fine engraving 
representing a bunch of the Adlrondac Grape of 
the natural size. So many admirable qualities 
were credited lo this grape when first announced, 
that we received the statements with some doubt. 
It was claimed to be superior in flavor tu the 
Delaware, fifteen days earlier, and far more 
hardy; and thus suited to the portions of our 
country where no good grape had previously 
succeeded. 
Last autumn we saw the fruit, and can speak 
favorably of its quality, though under what con¬ 
ditions it. was produced, of course wo could not 
say. It was exhibited at the meeting of the 
American Pomological Society in Boston, on the 
16th of September lust, and Mr. Eu.iorr, from 
tho Committee on New Fruits, described it as 
follows :— 14 Bunch large, compact; berries large, 
round; color dark purplish red, with a blue 
bloom; seeds largo; flesh greenish white, soft, 
not perfectly ripe,but produces excellently well.” 
It was also shown at the New York State Fair 
held in Rochester, last October; and Charles 
Downing, Chairman of the Committee on Na¬ 
tive Grapes, made the following report:—“Be¬ 
fore closing their labors, the undersigned would 
call attention to a new Native Grape named the 
Adlrondac. and exhibited by John W. Bailey, of 
Plattsburgh. Accepting Mr. Bailey’s statement, 
that the Adlrondac ripens two weeks earlier than 
the Delaware, we think it presents claims to the 
favorable notice of fruit-growers in the Northern 
States and tlm Canadas. In color, it resembles 
the Isabella, but Is somewhat larger. In quality, 
it is sweet arid pleasant, with little or no hard¬ 
ness of palp. Those who prefer an earlier grape 
than tho Delaware, will welcome the Adirondac. 
The undersigned cheerfully indorse the opinion 
of the American Pomological Society, that ‘the 
Adirondac promises excellently well.’” 
We all need more experience before we can 
recommend this grape for general culture, but it 
certainly promises to meet a want which all feel, 
a very early, hardy, good grape.

Farewell.—F arewell is a lonely sound, and its echo 
baa caused many a sad heart; but none would feel sadden¬ 
ed but rather bo greatly cheered and benefited by saying 
farewell to all Kinds of Soda and Huleratus except DeLakti 
& Co.'s Ghmical Ealeraius , which will seal ter rays of 
sunshine and happinesn fn every household when properly 
nsed, being alwajs uniform and perfect. 
ngiiuisi, (jveryuung green, possibly lor tho reason 
that we have no particular attachment for aught 
that resembles ourselves. Ilow I have pitied 
such as 1 have passed their dwellings, around 
which flowers never bloom, uo comfortable 
shrubbery or blossoming fruit trees appear 
■where every tiny blade of grass seems to feel 
Itself an intruder—standing beneath the burning 
sun of summer and bleak winds of winter, 
gloomy, cheerless and desolate. 
I cannot see how inen can have the heart to 
destroy these ImautiAil objects. Why, a tree is 
one of God’s masterpieces. Strong, brave and 
self-reliant, heeding not the wooing south wind, 
- the pitiless sunshine,— the hitter rain or pelt¬ 
ing hail,—in summer breathing forth a sweet 
welcome to the merry song of birds, and in tho 
winter divested, as it Is, of its gay robe, still 
faithful and dauntless, pointing solemnly upward 
to the blest haven called “ Peace,” where all our 
fetorm-tofsed life-ships shall anchor. No man 
with a true, tender, noble heart will destroy one 
unless it be from stern necessity.

A Kinall pin should be inserted 
near one corner of the reel, to turn for winding 
up the line. A strong cotton line is preferable 
to linen, as damp will not alter its longth us 
much as linen. The line should be marked by 
passing yarn through it, two feet apart, first red 
and then blue, alternately. By having tbe line 
thus marked, it enables the workman to put his 
hills or plants in rows both ways, which is a 
great convenience where smaller crops are to be 
set between larger, as turnips between corn or 
potatoes. No hills should ever be planted, or 
plants set, without the line, and when one is 
wound upon a stick, the distance between tbo 
marks is often altered. 
The dibber is best made by taking an apple tree 
limb, about two Inches lu diameter, with a limb 
turning oil' at an obtuse angle. The end below 
the limb should be left about one foot long, and 
tapered to a point, the limb cut a little more than 
the width ot the hand, and made smooth. 
Where many plants are to be set, a straight dib- 
hs r-stick Often blisters the inside of the hand, 
but with one thus made there is no danger.

A PLEA FOR TREES. 
I protest in the name of all that is just, 
meiciful, and honorable, against this wholesale 
murder rnen are constantly committing upon 
trees. Forests have disappeared from the face of 
the country like magic. The stately monorchs of 
the wood have bowed their haughty heads and 
bit the dust; and this has been, In a measure, 
necessary. From the ruins of forests have arisen 
cities, towns and villages; but when the war has 
been carried far enough, for humanity’s sake let 
It cease.
