People know very weil that vermin cau only be kept from the human family and domestto animals by cleanliness. If a man learns that anybody abont bis premises is sub pected of baring abont their persons any of those animals that the poet Barns saw crawl npon a lady's bonnet, what is to be done? Why, wash, washl If any member of the poultry family are supposed to have abou1 their bodies similar vermin, exterminating powders are applied and the premises are thor oughly whitewashed. HorafS, cattle, sheep, swine, and even the dog, receive similar atten tions; and, as we all know, the careful man does not wait until these vermin appear.but by simple cleanliness closes the general premises against them. Now what precautionary or exterminating measures does this otherwise careful man ap ply to his trees, vines and shrubs in connection with these peslB? We need not wait for Echo to answer, for we all know just how it is our selves. There is nothing ontside of the human fam ily that receives more ardent professions of re gard than trees, plants, etc.; but there is noth ing over which man has been appointed keeper that he has so neglected. Women, and men too, will go into ecstasies while writing about trees and flowers, but while idly admiring them the foliage and flowers are being overrun with armies of unromantic lice and huge, and the borer is drilling a hole into the trunk, con structing a home for the digusting grub of the next season; and instead of coming to their defense or relief, they pronounce it "perfectly awful, "and trunsfer their regards to other reigning favorites. It is u very pretty sight to see a woman go ing abont among-lier flowers, constructing bo nnets, hut wo prefer seeing her going through the garden with hor plain basket or basin, picking off Infested leaves, slaying her thou sands of currant norms, and not fearing to at tack even the monbtrous tomato worm. Those who give most attention to their trees are too apt to confine thoir regards to the roots and branchos, neglecting tbo trunk. The mu tual dependence between root and branch is beginning to be pretty well understood; but the dependence of both upon the trunk has not boon properly considered. The owner of a treo will uorhups bestow duo attention upon its foliage, blossoms and fruit, and indulgo in surmises as to the condition of its roots, but scarcely allows his glnuce to linger for a mo mont upon the tiunk, when vigilance is more noeded hero than elsewhere, l'reouitionary measures or aggressive operations opplied here, will be more effective than any system of war fare that we can oondutt BRainst the pebts of our orchards, vineyards and gardens; as this is tho thoroughfare for nearly oil of them. Now if our friends will treut their trees just as thoy would their livo stock, that is, or is lia bio to be similarly infoHted, and treat thorn to a Rood wash occasionally, they will find thut it will operate both hb n preventive and cure. Take u buokct of strong soapBuds, and apply liborally with a brush or swab, rubbing it up and down tbo tiunk bo that it will enter all the crevices iu tho bark. Apply it early in the spring boforo tho rains havo ended, and again in autumn beforo the winter ruins commence. It is nioro effectlvo when followed by rain as this WBBhcB off the bark still inoro thoroughly, and at tho Bomo timo carrios tho soapy Bubatanoo to tho roots whioh oro greatly benefitted thereby. Wo submitted similar ailvioe to our readers last season; and shall do bo iu succeeding Boa sous; for, haviug practiced the eauio during a along succession of Beasons, wo aro awuro of its cfuoacy. If tho trunk of tho tree, from tho ground up to and around the main branches, is properly attended to tho top and roots will generally nood but little cue. It should not be loft until it boooinoH infested or diseased; a good wah will do a healthy, vigorous treo as inuoh Rood as it does a human being in the same conditiou; and if tho owner reduces this treatment lo a sybtem, tho wholo trunk surface of all his trees comou under his observation, as hits oyo follows tho brush, and ha thus becomes thoroughly ao quaiuted with their condition. TIiIb is a very ituportuut consideration in treo culture., Treatment of Tin Scraps. In tho manufacture of tiuwaro it is said six per cent of the whole of tho plates employed disappear in the form of scraps, The enor mous trade in Hardiue boxes produced iu Nantea, in lHu'J, nearly -100 tons of scraps;- llirmingbaui products boiiio uu lous per weK, and Paris 61) lo CO tons per month. A small quantity o( these hcraps has always been used in various w.ia, such as the addition of a amall quantity to tho pig iron inteuded for steam cylinders; another small portion was tro.ited by concentrated solphurlo acid, or n solution of rausliu potash, but no one treated tin bcrup on a large to ilu until a short time since.

Commercial View of the Dairy Business. At the late convention of the American Dairymen's Association, an address was deliv ered by Mr. J. M. Peters, of the New York Butter and Cheese Exchange, on " Onr Dairy Products." Ths paper waaacommercial show ing of the cheese and batter trade. A close al liance of all branches in the dairying trade is admitted on all hands as essential. The out look shows a most cheerful trade during the past year. In other trades the reverse of cheer ing la often seen, for conspicuous instances, the iron trade. Even the luxuries of food have been moved with difficulty, bat there has been a steady demand for agricultural products. There has been no shrinkage in values in agri cultural -products commensurate with the shrinkage of other commodities, and the shrink age in dairy product price has been least. The speaker predicted that the dairy would become the leading interest in this country in place of King Cotton. lie adduced statistics showing me steady and large increase in butter produc tion and trade during the past few years. A method of obtaining stati-ticn is now in use which gives desired thoroughness. The annual traffic in butter in New York city alone is esti mated at $21,000,000; average price of both Eastern and Western butter, 30 cents per lb. He referred to the export trade, and found en couraging inducement for export as a means of relieving tne American marKets of surplas stock, which deteriorates on holding. The exchange now grades butter thoroughly, and leaves each grade to find market outlet, the substantial basis of supply and demand governing. The difference of first and second grades is widen ing. There is a difference of C or 8 cents be tween the two prices. Eastern butter is mostly firsts, and State butter is not nearly all of that grade. He urged upon dairymen a more un biased judgment of their own goods; they should look upon exceptional Bale as governing the price of the bulk of butter ready for market. Little Western batter is above second grade, and for this an export outlet is needed. Hudson river counties butter finds highest prices, and it is upon the high prices obtained for this that expectations of high prices are based. This is the table butter, and between this and batter of commerce there is no connection. The distance over which Western butter comes and the rough handling it receives in transit destroy its freshness and lower its price. However, the Western butter has greatly improved in the past lew years, uy adopting tne eastern creamery and manufacture system and better railroad fa cilities the btandard may be raited. Metallic packages were favorably referred to. It is esti mated by the Exchange the home consumption amounts to 1,387,000,000 lbs. per annum. The export of American butter raises the amount to 1,4U2,000,000 lbs , which at 30 conts per lb. would bring $-120,000,000. The cheese trade was now dwelt upou. The export of cheese for the year ending Juna 30th, 1871, were 90,611,057 lbs., which with Canadian ex ports made the total exports 113,734,280 lbs. 'Ihe prosperity of the cheese expoit trade is very giatifyiug, but tho domestic consumption of cheeso bus decreased. The reason should bo looked for and the matter remedied. A small cheese is demanded, and dealers endeavor to obtain it. The creamery men appreciate this demand, anil I speak of this because the size of their cheese is the only favorable thing I can say of their product. Laughter and applause He found that skimmed cheese bad hurt the American cheese trade and foreign cheese is looked for. Skimmed cheeso also iojnres the cheese trade because a pound of it lasts about as long as a pouud ol good cheese. Laughter He next reforred to coloring of cheese. High colored cheeso and white cheese found market in England, but there is only small market for straw-colored cheese. He commended the guaranteeing of weights in practice at the Utica and Little Falls market, and faid the practice should univeiailly hold. The statistical reports of this Association are very serviceable, and we of tho Exchange ask your aid in securing monthly statements of the crop. He closed his address amid applause. T Stutiu NcwanrKB lUrouTs. Ignorance about tho moat common operations ol different trades does not appear to be confined only to mau of our own newspaper editors, and con tributors, but Qenuauy aud France lately gave a striking illustration of it in an absurd report whioh was going tbo rounds of the papers there, and Anally louud iu way into a French paper published iu New York. It stated that some ruischlevloua Frenchman had paluted the four Urge cast-iron lions, Hiipportiug the Waterloo mouuuieut iu Itruuswlck, Germany, orange hy nieaui of red lead, and that they could not get the paint off, but had to paint them over again with black.

Certain experi ments which havo been made at the Chemical Department, Itojal Arsenal, by Profe-sor Abel and Captain Noble, relative to the propoities of gunpowder, havo reached a definite stsce, and a preliminary report has been made. The ob jects of tho investigation were to ascertain the products of explosion wheu fired in guns or mine, tha tension, the effect of various sized grains, the variation producidby various con ditions o( pressure, tne volume of norma uunt gas, tho heat, aud the work performed on a shot iu Ihe bore of the gun. For these pur poses a steel chamber was uced, closed with a tcrew plug, through which circuit wires were led aud the powder fired by electric current. The prebsures wero registered by ciusher g tuges, and when tho powder fills tho space in which it is fired it is found that the pressuro is nuoui uiuu atuiospueret, or n tons per square inch. The temporature of explosion is fouud to bo about 22u0 degrees Cent. Wheu gun powder is fired iuBmsll arms, about 35 per cent, of the heat geuerated is communicated to the barrel, but only 3 per cent, is absorbed by an 18-ton gun. The products of exphiou are about fifty-seven parts weight of solid to forty three parts of peinmnent gas. The analysis of the guboous products showed a regular change, due to ariatlon iu pressure, carbouio unhy dtido incieasing, with a disease iu carbonio ox ide, as tho prei-suro iucreastd.

A Few Hints to Foremen. To manage a gang of men properly is a mat ter that requires a more thorough knowledge of human natnre than falls to the lot of thou sands of foremen. There are hundreds of foremen who imagine that a great deal of noise, blaster and profanity is necessary to secure the performance of the greatest amount of honest labor. This is a grievous error. If any one will take notice of a Rang of men whose foremen is sour, cross and surly, and whose mouth is always full of oaths on the slightest provocation, either fancied or real,, it wilt be seen that the men care little for what they are doing. They always keep at least one eye'on the "boss," and as soon as his "back it turned tney commence to "soiaier at once. If he leaves them for a while, they are not anx ious to make a good showing on his return, for they are sure of a season of abuse, however faithful they may have been iu kis absence. There is nothing to encourage them to extra ex ertions, and all they care about is to get along as eafily as possible until pay-day. Honest, skillful workmen are not likely to stay with such a man any longer than they are obliged to, and such foremen can seldom keep other than a gang of reckless, third-rate work men together. They are continually in tronble; but little work is done, and that in a slovenly manner. Usually this kind of men manage their work without any system or regularity. The men get in each other's way; tbey get each other's tools; they take hold of things at the wrong end; everything is hurry and confusion, and the foreman imagines that because he has made a great deal of noise and the men have exerted themselves tremendously he has ac complished wonders, while in reality he has done but little. At times a dozen men are set to perform what might easily be done by half that Dumber, at other times a half dozen men are expected to do what would require the united efforts of twice that number. These foremen do not know how much a man can or ought to do. Tbey go to work on a job headlong, without exercising any forethought or judgment, aud tbo latter is seldom possessed by the class of men in question. These men have a very high opinion of their ability, when the fact is tbey aro a positive injury to auy person who may be so unfortnnate as to employ them. If a foreman is of a kind disposition, pos sessed of a cool head and good judgment, with a friendly feeling existing between himself and the men nnder bis charge, they need no urging iu cases of emergency. A cool-headed man is usually possessed of good judgment, andknows how to place men so that they can work to good advantage. Every move counts, and work is rapidly performed withont any seem ing hurry, whereas the snarly, quick-tempered man will worry and fret both himself and every one around him and accomplish but Utile. Good nature is indispensable to the successful management of workmen, but it should be ac companied with sufficient firmness and decision to prevent auy undne liberties on the part of the workmen. In the machine shop, the foremen who has the last-mentioned qualifications will have everything shipshape. Every workman knows what would displease the "boss," and takes especial pains to have everything in good order. He does his work in the best manner, both for the praise he expects to receive from bis fore man and the interest he feels iu the welfare of his employers. When a workman knows that faithful, hon est labor is appreciated, he is not slow to take a lively interest in the work in band, and it is of great importance that individuals or corpor ations employ no foremen who are continually at war with the men under their charge.

Hyoieni: fob the Aged. In one of his recent cliuical lectures at Ouy'a Hospital, London, Or. Habershon referred to the case of an old man who died simply from the shock produced by going out into the cold and fog, which though only an inconvenience to people gener ally, was sufficient to lead to a fatal result in one whose circulation had become enfeebled, and whose vital force bad so nearly lost its power. Dr. HaberBhon also alluded to an in stance of longevity of which he had been in formed by a gentleman the case being the lattcr's mother, who had died at tho age of 102, and who, during the winter months, used to re fuse to get up, saying thut she was warm only in bed. To this uniform warm temperature the f ict of her great age was doubtless owing, and Or. Habershon urges that in prescribing for old people they should be advised to keep warm; ana as tney c.innot eat xnucn at a meal, tuey should take them more frequently. There are many of them aUo who wake up at about three or four o'clock in the morning, and it is a good plan for them to have some nourishment then; omerwise tne interval Between tne mgnt and morning meals is too long for their declining strength. The life of the aged may be consid erably prolonged by care in these minutiie. ai 90 'S ffil 90 Sac.

The PnisENT Timbkr Supply fob Edbope, and possibly, in the not very remote future, for tlio Atlantic States of America, comes, and will come, from llussia and Finland. Large quan tities are obtained from Sweden and Norway, whioh contain extensive tracts of forest land; but the principal resource must be from the extensive forests of llussia. from which timber is now imported by Great Britain aloue to the amount of several millions of pounds sterling annually. From llussia also ultimately will come the European supplies of furniture and wooden ware. The llussiau market will be for many years to come an increasing one for all sorts of wood-working machinery. American manufacturers who have the sagacity to culti vate this market, and the enterprise to be among the first that enter it, can scarcely fail to build up a large and profitable trade in wood-working maobinery. Patents are taken for every conceivable arti cle for tho use of man, and invention even gees beyoud the cofnu. We find a recent patent for an apparatus for depositing coffins in graves. An invention for tailing up graves is now in order. Ovkb 100,000 cords of wood, awaiting ship ment to Viriuia City and Oold Hill, are piled up in the vicinity of Empire city. Nut-pine wood is being shipped from the same locality at the rate of about 400 cords per month. It can be laid down in Virginia city by the car load for about $15 per cord.

American & Foreign Patent Agents, OFTICE, 234 SANSOME BTBEET, B. F. PATENTS obtained promptly; Caveats filed expeditiously; Patent reissues taken out; Assignments made and recorded in legal form; Copies of Patents and Assignments procured; Examinations of Patents made here and at Washington; Examinations made of Assignments recorded in Washington; Examinations ordered and reported by Tele graph; Rejected cases taken up and Patents obtained; Interferences Prosecuted; Opinions rendered regarding the validity of Patents, and Assignments; every legitimate branch of Patent Agency Business promptly and thoroughly conducted. Our intimate knowledge of the various in ventions of this coast, and long practice in patent business, enable us to abundantly satisfy our patrons; and our success and business are constantly increasing. The shrewdest and most experienced Inventors are found among our most steadfast friends and patrons, who fully appreciate our advan tages in bringing valuable inventions to the notice of the public through the columns of our widely circulated, first-class journals thereby facilitating their introduction, sale and popularity. Foreign Patents. In addition to American Patents, we secures with the assistance of co-operative agents,, claims in all foreign countries which grant Patents, including Great Britain France, Belgium, Prussia, Austria, Victoria, Peru, Russia, Spain, British India, Saxony, British Columbia, Canada, Norway, Sweden, Mexico, Victoria, Brazil, Bavaria, Holland, Den mark, Italy, Portugal, Cuba, Roman States, Wurtemberg, New Zealand, New South Wales, Queensland, Tasmania, Brazil, New Grenada, Chile, Argentine Republic, AND EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD where Patents are obtainable. No models are required in European coun tries, but the drawings and specifications should be prepared with thoroughness, by able persons who are familiar with the re quirements and changes of foreign patent laws agents who are reliable and perma nently established. Our schedule prices for obtaining foreign pat ents, in all cases, will always be as low, and in some instances lower, than those of any other responsible agency. We can and do get foreign patents for inventors in the Pacific States from two to six months (according to the location of the country sooneb than any other agents. Home Counsel. Our long experience in obtaining patents for Inventors on this Coast has familiarized us with the character of most of the inventions already patented; hence we are frequently able to save our patrons the cost of a fruitless application by pointing them to the same thing already covered by a patent. We aro always free to advise applicants of any knowledge we have of previous applications which will interfere with their obtaining a patent. We invite the acquaintance of all parties con nected wiin inventions ana patent ngut Busi ness, believing that the mutual conference of legitimate business and professional men is mutual gain. Parties in doubt in regard to their rights as assignees of patents, or pur chasers of patented articles, can often receive advice of importance to them from a Bhort call at our office. Remittances of money, made by individual in' ventors to the Government, sometimes mis carry, and it has repeatedly happened that applicants have not only lost their money but their inventions also, from this cause and consequent delay. We hold ourselves re sponsible for all fees entrusted to our agency. The principal portion of the patent business of this coast has been done, and is still being done, through our agency. We are familiar with, and have full records, of all former cases, and can more directly judge of the value and patentability of inventions discov ered here than any other agents. Situated so remote from the seat of government, delays are even more dangerous to the invent ors of the Pacific Coast than to applicants in the Eastern States. Valuable patents may be lost by the extra time consumed in transmit ting specifications from Eastern agencies back to this coast for the signature of the inventor. Confidential. We take great pains to preserve secreoy in all confidential matters, and applicants for pat ents can rest assured that their communi cations and business transactions will be held strictly confidential by us. Circulars free. Engravings. We have superior artists in our own office, and' all facilities for producing fine and satisfao- tut jr muBiruuuua ui mvenuons ana macmnery, for newspaper, book, circular and other printed illustrations, and are always ready to assist patrons in bringing their valuable ib coveries into practical and profitable use.
