A good multiplication table-wrestler Will pue «p column after column of Igures to prove that the defeat of his politic#! candidate this year by 15,000 majority against 8.000 last year is a gain fqjj his side of 7,000 votes. If sttch curious ciphering doesn't Createstrong suspicion that figures fie like the annual statement of a New fork Life Insurance Company it at least leaves an impression that they are " Ifeak lis the limbs--and often cut a pret­ ty figure, figuratively speaking. • The man who has the multiplication ffeble at his fingers' ends, and can foot Op a column of figures six inches high fid two broad as quick as you could pronounce half of the name of a Rus­ sian General, is a serpent in the social circle--a sort of boa, or bore, or--well, lie's an adder, anyhow. He is as great ft nuisfilce as the indefatigable bore j it ho propounds such queries as this: ^Suppose your mother's daughter married your grandfathers nephew on your «a<ue'8 side, what relation would their children be to your aunt's step­ mother?**--or somehow that way. You probably have met such bores. The multiplication table man, at the risk of his life, will tell you that 9 mul­ tiplied 387,420,489 times by itself, would require 369,698,100 ciphers, and to count it, working ten hours daily, Would take fifteen years and 230 days. And tfeen you heave a sigh a mile long and wish with all your might that he would go off somewhere by himself and work out the problem. It to perform this arithmetical task required only five years and so days we don't suppose one of the adder's hearers would go to work at the job. The inventor of the game of chess was fcade by the King of India to name his own reward, upon which he asked to receive the number of grains of wheat that would be produced if one grain were paid him for the first square of the chess, two for the second, four for the third, eight for the fourth and so on doubled up for every square of the six­ ty-four. When these amounts were added the sum was found to be 18,446,- 744,073,709,.551,615 of grains--4t enough to cover all the continents of the earth with a layer one-third of an inch in thickness." The name of the party who counted the grains is not given, but it is highly probable that he stopped counting at the expiration of the ninety-seventh -year, and, wearily exclaiming, "'Tis wheat to be remembered," guessed at the number remaining. History doesn't say so, but it must have gone against the grain of the King to fulfill his prom­ ise. The whole story, however, sounds like a campaign lie, invented by the enemy for some sinister purpose. Light, according to Prof. Somebody, travels 192,000 miles a second. This is much faster than the defaulting President of a savings bank travels. He prefers darkness when he goes, and travels at the rate of about thirty miles an hour, but regrets that he can't make as good time as light. Another figure twister says if one cent were set out at compound interest in the year 1 at 4 per cent, the 1st of January, 1866, it would amount to 1 quintilhon, 201,458 quadrillions, 332 trillions of millions. A cent is a very small sum, and we all might set out that amount at com­ pound^ interest for the benefit of our posterity 1,866 years hence. But some persons persistently refuse to do any­ thing for posterity, simply because posterity has never done anything for them! The same authority further declares that if we paid the Tax Collector the amount above mentioned in silver, he would need 3,003,445,000,000,000,000,- 000 wagons for its transportation. When you owe that much taxes, therefore, you had better pay the Col­ lector in greenbacks or checks, for-- to quote the professor aforesaid--" a robbery could be committed ot?* |h$ hindmost wagon which would not - be discovered till the 24,780th generation of Tax Collectors." Hence the tax gleaner, to save his reputation and money, and prevent be­ ing removed to make room for a man belonging to the opposite political party, would be compelled to employ a force larger than the United States Ariny to travel along with the wagon train to protect it from the depieda- tions of road agents--especially if he was going in the direction of the Black Hills. This sum of money, we are also in­ formed, distributed among the people of the earth, would give each of its 1,- 000,000,000 of inhabitants about 1,200 trillions of dollars, and he or she could Over} second use $2,000,000 for 38,096,- 000 years without reaching the bottom of his or her purse! But who wants to spend that much money in that many years? Better S've some of it to the poor--though, by e way, come to think of it, there would be no poor to receive it. Such a distribution, moreover, would not make things as pleasant for us as at first sight appears. If everybody had an endless purse for thirty-eight mill­ ion and ninety-six thousand years, no­ body could be induced to do any work, and we should all be obliged to make yur own shirts and trousers and things. Let us remark, parenthetically, that while writing of these colossal sums of money, we become totally oblivious to the hard sad fact that our own salary is under $28,000 a year. Twenty-four letters of the alphabet can be changed 620,448,401,733,239,439,- 360.000 of times, all of which changes could not be written by the population of the whole vforld in 1,000 years. A party named Euler says so. How he discovered the remarkable fact is not stated. We rather surmise that Mr. Euler would feel deeply chagrined if the en­ tire population of the earth were to set to work and write out all these changes in one-half the time he says it would inquire to perform the tasK, and thus knock over his astounding calculations. Again, we are told that twelve per­ sons can interchange their respective positions 499,001,600 times; but ft would take them not less than 1,848 years to accomplish inii number of changes, if they moved once every minute for twelve consecutive hours dailv. If any twelve of our readers dou&t the cor­ rectness of this statement, they should get together and try the experiment. If they perform the task in less time than 1,848 years they will please notify us by postal-card. Card-players who have a run of poor cards may be interested to know that the fifty-two cards, with thirteen to each of the four players, can be dis­ tributed in 53,644,737,756,488,792,839,- 237,440,000 different ways.

Her- - 1 Flea for fee Gartt*. THE time of year has oome when farmers may find time to ponder over suhjeots which do ant come to them readily in the busy days of the year. We wish distinctly to impress upon our farmers the importance of contriving and laying out a garden plan for next spring. You. can always tell the differ­ ence between, families which have good vegetable' gardens and those which never have any. Their physical ap­ pearance is better. It is said that since the more general introduction of veg­ etables among the farmers of England the disease called land scurvy has al­ most entirely disappeared from among that class, although we are of opinion that this disappearance of the disease has been greatly caused by the more general use of fresh meats. The con­ stant use of salt meats, as is shown by the damage done to men at sea, is pro­ ductive of bad blood and of great de­ bility. Dr. Kane relieved his men by the use of raw meat and raw potatoes. But in those parts of Ireland where the peasantry rely entirely for their food upon poor potatoes the disease of land scurvy prevails. It follows that other diseases are bred by the use of poor or special food. You must vary it. The salts and acids that are contained in vegetables and fruits are necessary to the proper development of the physical system. If you would have your chil­ dren possess bright minds in fine bod­ ies you must give them proper nourish­ ment. It is a fact that the greatest number of cases of insanity in this, country may be found among the farm­ ers. Yet you would not think it. Some­ thing beside country air is needed to make a sound man. Yet we have 'known farmers who cultivated great acres of corn and wheat and hay, but who never dreamed of having a good vegetable garden. We remember a rich farmer who had never eaten gooseber­ ries, and to whom a tomato was a perfect stranger. He was yellow and bilious, and always in an ugly temper of mind; nothing ever pleased him. He never took any acids; he lived on salt meats. It was just the acids in fruits and veg­ etables that he needed. On ships that now go to sea bottles of lemon-juice are sent for the daily use of the crew, and where a port is entered vegetables are immediately bought. Raw onions are a certain cure for scurvy, and they are so useful at sea why are they not invaluable on land? The onion is very nutritious, in this respect being, perhaps, equal to eggs. They should be raised not only for the young bulbs, which are so eagerly sought for in 'the early season, but also for frequent fam­ ily use all the year around. Treated raw with vinegar they are very health­ ful. Boiled they are simply delicious. Added to stews they make many a dish palatable and savory. Baked they are a rich garnish. Fried and eaten with beef they are a hearty gourmand's joy. Next year raise enough onions for family use the year round. They will save doctor's bills. The same may be said of the tomato. Its acid is very healthful, though one doctor--Dio Lewis--contends against its use^in great quantities. Of course, too much of a good thing is good for nothing. Tomatoes will grow luxuriantly if you can keep the cut-worm and the chick­ ens away. Stewed, they are eagerly eaten by children. They make an ele­ gant soup. Raw, they are, with vine­ gar, a fine salad. Children love them raw with vinegar and sugar, and in summer they are, when fresh and cold, a delightfully healthful beginning to a breakfast. Stuffed as you would stuff a chicken a large tomato, hot and spicy from a baking-pan, makes a fine des­ sert, or ever a nice, dainty supper. Yet it is only a few years since the tomato was a curiosity. Thomas Jefferson thought they were fit only for hog feed. What a blessing he missed. We must not omit the value of all kinds of greens, the use of which, thanks to some of our German gardeners, is be­ coming more general in our country. We all remember how our grandmoth­ ers occasionally went out on the sod and got some dandelion leaves or dock for "greens," which they boiled with pork. But the work of getting them was hard, although the dish was good. Some of the men folks used to look down upon such truck as so much "grass. The old ladies were right and the grass was a great health-given Spinach, unless grown for market, sel­ dom finds a place in the farmer's gar­ den, and yet it is exceedingly healthful, and served with the* gravy of roasted meet makes a delicious dish. It is easily raised, and requires but little labor. Any soil that will grow good corn will grow spinach. Toward the latter end of August ground that has been used for summer crops may be prepared and manured for spinach. Sow in succession from the first to the end of September, cover with straw at the approach of cold weather and the most forward will furnish greens for the table when other vegetables are scarce, and the later crops will give "a wholesome vegetable in early spring. The same ground by having it well manured for spinach will be in good condition for beets, carrots, etc., the following spring. Asparagus, which is scarcely ever Found on the farmer's table, is highly valued for its health- fulness, and is a delightful article of food. A few feet of ground devoted to its growth will supjHy a family, and iitj will not need renewal for twenty years. '& Co" --N. Y. Herald. USEFUL AMXI 8MRAM.

Shading Hardy Plants in Winter. fHERE are a great many kinds of plants whieh, although considered quite hardy in the localities where they are most extensively cultivated, are much benefited by a slight protection in winter. The numberless varieties of the strawberry which have been produced from the indigenous species of the Northern States, although gen­ erally considered hardy, require, ex­ perience has taught the cultivator, to be covered in winter, especially in re­ gions where the plants are not pro­ tected by snow; by adopting this pre­ caution, their productiveness is also vastly increased. Many persons, how­ ever, we fear, aim to protect the plants from cold, and heap on a heavy coat of some fibrous material with the hope of keeping out the frost. This is all wrong, for it is not so much the freez­ ing which injures the plants as it is the sudden changes in the temperature, to­ gether with the rays of light falling directly upon the plants while in a frozen condition. Every gardener knows that if his tender exotic plants get frozen accidentally or ptherwise, the safest way of restoring them is to put them in a dark room and sprinkle them well with water. We may or may not know just Siow light affects plants under such circumstances, but experience has taught us that it is best to exclude it, while thawing out frozen plants. Now, the principal object in giving protection to hardy and half hardy plants in win­ ter is to prevent the sudden changes in the temperature about them, and at the same time to keep them in a posi­ tion to be thawed out in the dark. A sheet of brown paper,- if it could be as easily kept in position, is as good a winter protection for strawberry plants as a bundle of strew or corn stalks, for all we want- is to protect them from direct contact with cold, drying winds, and give them shade. There is something very injurious to certain kinds of plants in our bright sunlight of the winter months. For instance, there are many of the Rocky Mountain evergreens which in their native habitats endure a degree of cold unknown in this city or surrounding country. Many of these trees, never­ theless, will no! withstand our Eastern winters without protection. A glance at almost any half-dead specimen in spring reveals the cause of the injury, for while the leaves and branches on the south side which are exposed to the direct rays of the sun will be scorched or totally killed, those on the north side or partly in the shade remain green and fresh. With such trees the protection need only be applied to the extent of giving shade, for the degree of cold is not what causes the misciiief. The same is true with hundreds of ever­ green plants which we cultivate for or­ nament or use. The English ivy is a well-known instance of a very hardy plant which utterly fails, with us, if it is exposed to the light, but is very hardy in the shade. The hemlock spruce, which grows wild far north-in British America, thrives very poorly south of Washington, and while it grows w^U ^"hd tYi$Jier»the leaves Set S'*»~ the usual com- * l«* C*,lfon|jrdy;" while, in tcrests a greater cold would be beneficial, instead of injuri­ ous. If persons who desire or attempt to protect plants in winter would hear this necessity of shade in mind, they might save themselves much trouble and also the plants which they are so anxious to preserve. This fis especial­ ly the case iti cities and their suburbs, where the services of professional gardeners or those who ape the title are called into requisition to wrap up or protect a few choice plants grown in front yards or gardens. These pro­ fessionals, we regret to say, adopt one system of protection for all kinds of shrubs, trees and vines, and this is a wrapping up of the plant in a matting of clean straight straw, bound tightly about it and brought together so close at the top that not a drop of moisture can reach • leaf, twig or stem. These straw pyramids may display a good deal of artistic taste, but they are at the same time death to many a fine plant which they were designed to protect. If the plant does not freeze to death, it is very likely to die for want of mois­ ture, and many hundreds arc destroyed every winter that would have survived if left entirely alone and u6 protection attempted. Straw is an excellent material for protecting lar«e or small plants, but there should always be a way provided for the admission of water to the plant whenever thaws or rains occur during the winter. A few stakes driven about low plants, with space inside filled with hay or straw, is a far better method of pro­ tection than the straw wraps referred to above. Vines which may need pro­ tection may be either laid down on the ground ana covered with soil or some coarse material, or shaded aud left upon the stakes or trellises where grown. All kinds of winter grains are more or less benefited by being shaded, especial­ ly in regions wliere there is but little or no snow in. winter.. This may be effect­ ed by spreading over the surface coarse barn-yard manure, hay, straw, chaff, or some similar material. Of course, good manure is the best of all, but even shavings or sawdust would be far better than nothing, and would frequently Erevent what is called the *4 winter-ill i rig" of fall-sown grain. Top-dress­ ing of meadows and winter gram acts beneficially in two ways--first, in add- ding fertilizing materials to the soil, and, secondly, in protecting the plants covered.--.AT. Y. Sun. Exhaustion of Soils. I HAVE never seen the subject of ex­ haustion usefully, intelligently, consist­ ently or decently treated in any book. If any person has, I should like to know where the book is. My heart sorrows at the prospects of dying without the sight. But this, it may be hoped, is my own peculiar misfortune and shame; for if no such book exists the shame is universal--a ijullion times more than I can ever feel. I believe the question of exhaustion to be of greater moment, especially to farmers in the old States, than any other. Exportation of the crops--the princi­ pal if not the only means assigned and elaborated by the writers--in my opin­ ion, does not take five pounds in one hundred of what the soil loses. I do not think that sinking tuid evaporation take 5 per cent, of the loss awav. We will never find the bulk of es­ caped plant food in the marts, nor in sub-soil, nor in the air; but remote generations may find it in the deltas, bays, gulfs and seas, to which it has been propelled, for the most part by ig­ norant and destructive modes of culti­ vation. As in ages past, the great bodies of water will abandon their present beds and occupy exhausted fields, future generations will plow the beds of pres­ ent seas as we, now, the fertile deposits of ancient waters. But we cannot await the reversion. We must find plant food where accessi­ ble, and incorporate it in our depleted soils. We must so cultivate as to re­ strain the washing away in solution or in solid form--the chief features of which are thorough drainage and deep and level cultivation. Deep furrows should be avoided as much as possible. These, as well as creeks and rivers, draw the surface water together, creat­ ing a velocity and power almost un­ known on level surfaces, and like the creeks and rivers, wash away the loam, and in time penetrate 4o the gravel and clay, starting all above on the way to the sea. In this way furrows exhaust the soil more rapidly than all other agencies together. In general, with few excep­ tional sub-soils and also disturbance of plant roots, the deepest cultivation is best. Not that the sub-soil should be turned up, if poorer than the surface. We can cultivate the soil without turning it upside down, or creating rivulets all over it. The deeper the porosity, the less will the plant food wash from the surface. If it penetrates deeply, evaporation will bring the most of it back; if it was away, no natural force will ever bring it back. A deeply porous soil, levelly culti­ vated, will absorb most of the water of ordinary rainfalls and pass it off slow­ ly, carrying almost no plant food away in solid form and very little in solution; while the ammonia, washed from the atmosphere, instead of rapidly run­ ning off. in channels, will be absorbed and deposited in the soil.--Cor.
