AGRICULTURAL.
SOIL EXHAUSTION —A soil is said to be
exhausted when it fails to give paying
crops under the most favorable circum
stances of weather, tillage, etc. This ex
haustion is brought about by the removal
of the constituents needed by the plants,
without any corresponding adciition of
these food elements. Thus a soil may con
tain enough phosphoric acid in an available
quantity for ten full crops, but after that,
if none of this substance is added to the
soil, the crop cannot make a full return
for the labor expended upou it. A soil
may thus be exhausted or deficient in
only one of the several food elements, and
yet is not much better, as far as plant
growth is concerned, than if all the ele
ments were equally lacking. All crops do
not exhaust soils equally—some remove
more potash than others, and oue n quires
a greater amount of nitrogen than another.
This is very clearly shown In the long ex
periments of Lawes and Gilbert, at Both
amsted, England. It is found by them
that the plots upou which continuous
crops of clover, beans and roots, have
been grown without any manure, have de
clined more rapidly than the iaud devoted
to cereal grain crops. This is surprising,
in so far as clover, etc., are generally con
sidered as restorative rather than exhaust
ive crops. A judicious rotation of crops
is as much needed to preserve the eveu
fertility of the soil as to keep it mellow
aud free from weeds.
HOT BATH FOR BORERS. —In our gardeu
we have a dwarf apple tree, which, after
the manner of dwarf trees, has many roots
issuing immediately at the surface. Borers
have made an attack upon this tree and
the gnarly tortuous growth amid these
roots aud their crowd, makes it impossible
to follow the grubs with knife and wire
without greatly increasing the destructive
cutting which they do with their jaws.
The tree produces apples of Summer Hose
and other sorts, so tine in quality ami
quantity that we could not bear to think
of surrendering it to these insidious min
ers. So we instituted a regular course of
siege, surrounding their fort with a wall of
iron (a deep pan, bottomless, and siil down
one side,) and, after soaking the ground
with water, covered it, inside the pan,
with tough mud of potter's clay, to retain
the water, leaving the entrances of the
borer galleries (shown by their thrown out
chips,) open. A large boiler of water was
heated, and when b oiling hoi poured into
the pan, the half-dried bottom of clay re
taining it long enough to reach and drown
or scald out the enemy in time, as we
hope, to save the tree. Old bark and
wood wi 1 endure scalding well, as many
serviceable applications of it to peach trees
have proved. On them it not only clears
off borers, but often seems effective in
staying the yellows, and restoring the
colpr and luxuriance of the foliage.
BOSE MKAI. MAXURE year we
gave bone manure a pretty thorough trial,
and on the whole we are better satisfied
with it than any other commercial fertil
izer we have ever Used. Its effects are not
so immed ate as those of the super-phos
phates and guanos, but it has staying quali
ties far beyond any of them, and when
properly applied will give satisfactory re
sults the first season. We prepared it by
mixing one part bone with two of wood
ashes, and then wetting the mixture, after
which it was shoveled over several times at
ntervals of four or five days, when the
bone was thoroughly reduced and incorpo
rated in the ashes. In this shape we count
the mixture as good for hoed top dressing
as the best commercial fertilizers, and for
vines, fiowers and garden vegetables it is
superior. It has a wonderful effect when
used in a flower bed, especially in preserv
ing the freshness of ihe plants through the
season, and grape vines feed and thrive
upon it belter than upon anything else we
ever gave them. We tried it upou grass
land, side by side with a standard Boston
fertilizer, and got quite as good crops With
it last season, while last spring it showed
to much better advantage than the impor
ted article.
CORNSTALKS AS A FERTILIZER — An ex
change tells of a farmer who ploughed au
acre of rather poor soil and in the fuirows
he laid cornstalks lengthwise, and so on
till the whole was ploughed. On another
acre he burnt the same amount of corn
stalks and spread the ashes, the whole field
then being planted with corn. The latter
portion started much better than the first,
and during the early part of the season
wns a good deal ahead, but the latter part
of the season the first portion went ahead,
the result being that the cornstalks brought
off the best crop.
IN light soil it is desirable that the sur
face should oe continually covered by
crops bearing as much leaf as possible to
convey to the land from its atmosphere its
manuring properties.
A Marine Velocipede. —Mr. Kobert
Fryer has Invented a Dew ocean steamer.
The vessel will be a kind of marine velo
cipede on three wheels, her hull not being
intended to touch the water. The steamer
has not been begun, but Mr. Fryer has
completed a small model ot her at Mc
Crea's yard. The vessel floats on three
spheres made of sheet steal, one forward
and two astern. Each of these is united
with flanges, which surround nearly the
whole of its ciroumference and act as pad
dles, The spheres are so arranged that
they can be worked backward and forward,
or one worked backward and the others
forward simultaneously, so that the vessel
may be turner, completely around in 4 *her
own water," as sailors put it. With such
power of rapid turning, no rudder will be
necessary. The upper works are to rest
upon the spheres that do the propelling,
and will be as light as is consistent with
strength. There are to be three decks,
and the staterooms are to be in the after
part of the vessel, between the wheels,
on the second and third decks. The din
ing-room is to be on the third deck. The
boat is to be 210 feet long and 130 leet
deep. Her three sphere or piddle wheels
are to be 60 feet in diameter each, the
flanges or paddles being each 18 inches.
Mr. Fryer says he expects to beat the best
ocean time by at least two days, and de
clares that his vessel will be both safe and
comfortable. Arrangements are making
for the building of the vessel.
A good aquarium cement is composed
of three ounces of linseed oil, four ounces
of tar and one pound of rosin. These are
allowed to melt together over a gentle fire.
If too much oil is used the cement will
run down the angles of the aquarium. To
obviate this it should be tested before us
ing by allowing s small quantity to cool
under cool water, and if not found suffl
ciently firm, allowing it to simmer longer,
or have more tar and resin added. The
cement should be poured into the angles
of the aquarium while in a liquid state,
but not when boiling, or it would most
assuredly crack the glass. The cement
will become firm in a few minutes, and
the aquarium may then be tilted up in a
different position while a second angle is
treated likewise. This composition ad
heres firmly to the glass, is so pliant that
it may be pressed into any shape by the
fingers, and it does not communicate any
poisonous quality to the water.
DOMESTIC.
ADULTERATED COFFEE :— Ground coffee
afford! a field for adulteration, and for
this purpose eliiccory, carrots, caramel,
uate-seeds, etc.. are the substances most
commonly used. The beans have of
late years been skillfully imitated but as
coffee is mostly purchased in the ground
condition, the chief point for the consu
mer is to l>e able to form some idea as to
the character of the latter article, and the
following are a few simple reliable tests :
Take a little of the coffee and press it
between the tiugers, or give it a squeeze in
the paper in which it is bought; if genuine
it will not form a coherent mass, as coffee
grains are hard ami do not readily adhere to
each other ; but if the grains slick to each
other and form a sort of 4 *cake," we
may be pretty sure of adulteration in the
shape of cliiceory, for the grains of chie
cory are softer and more open and ad
here without diffleulity when squeezed.
Again, if we place a few grains in a sau
cer and moisten them with a little cold
water, chiccory will very quickly become
soft like bread-crumbs, while coffee will
take a long time to soften. A third test:
take a wine-glass or a tumbler full of wa
ter ami gently drop a pinch of the ground
coffee on the surface of the water without
stirring or agitating; genuine coffee will
float for sometime whilst chiccory or any
soft root will soon sink; and chiccory or
caramel will cause a yellowish or brown
ish color to diffuse rapidly through the
water, while pure coffee will give no sen
sible tint under such circumstances for a
considerable length of time. 44 Coffee
mixtures" or 44 coffee improvers" should
be avoided. They seldom consist ofj any
thing but chiccory ami caramel. 44 French
coffee," so widely used at present, is gen
erally ground coffee, the Deans of which
have been roasted with a certain amount
of sugar, which, coating over the beau,has
retained more of the original aroma than
in ordinary coffee, but this, of course, at
the expense of the reduced percentage of
coffee due to the presence of caramel.
FOR THK SICK. — Frequently we find sick
people whose stomachs reject ail kind of
vourishmcnt, until conditions follow that
arc in many cases fatal. I have never
known the simple saucer of parched corn
pudding refused. The corn is toasted
brown jre •y as we r >ast toffee, ground
as tiue as meal in a coffee mill, and made
either into mush, gruel, or thiu cakes bak
ed lightly brown and given either warm
or cold, clear, or whatever dressing the
stomach will retain. Parched corn and
meal boiled in milk, and fed frequently to
children suffering from summer diarrl o a,
will almott always cuieas it willdyseu ery
in adults.
CHOPPED PICKI.X. —One gallon of green
tomatoes, four large onions, three red
peppers and three green oues, leaving i n
a few of the seeds. Chop all tine; throw
in a big handful of salt; mix well together,
and let it stand over night. lu the morn
ing dry and add oue pound of brow n
sugar, one tablespoonful each of black
pepper, ground cloves aud allspice; half
a pint of white mustard seed aud one-quar
ter of au ounce of celery seed. Pour over
three pints of cider vinegar, boiiiug hot.
This is excellent. Put into jars or wide
mouthed bottles, aud cork tightly.
REMEDY FOR DIPHTHERIA.—A new Bed
ford, Mass., woman reports a new, and as
she claims, a successful cure for diphthe
ria. A little nephew of hers was sick with
diphtheria, aud the child's mother wus
told to give him tea made of the bark of
the roots of the white birch. She did so,
and Ihb coating of the throat and mouih
began to loosen ami come off, aud entile
recovery followed. The tea may be used
as a drink or gargle, r.r may be held in the
mouth.
AL'PLK TRIFLE.— ScaId as many apples
as, when pulped, will cover the dish you
design to use to the depth of two or three
inches. Before you place them in the
disli add to them the rind of half a lemon,
grated tine, and sugar to taste. Mis half
a pint of creain, and the yolk of an egg ;
scald it over the fire, keeping it stirring,
and do not let it boil; add a little sugar,
and let it stand till cold, then lay it over
the apples, and finish with the cream
whip.
VERMICELLI PUDDING. Two ounces of
vermicelli, three quarters of a pint of milk,
quarter of a pint of cream, one ounce and
a half of butter, two eggs, one ounce and
a half of sugar; boil the vermicelli in the
milk untill tender, then stir in the remain
ing ingredients; butter a small tart-dish
and bake.
IN making cakes be careful to observe
the following simple rules: —Beat them
up with your band, not with a spoon ;
always dry jour flour; always clean
your currants and sultana raisins in flour,
not in water ; l>eat up eggs for ten min
utes before adding them to the other iugre
dients; when the cakes are taken from
the oven, turn them out of the tin and
stand them outside the warm tin.
To CURE ooi.io. For the violent inter
nal agonj' termed colic, take a teaspoon
fill of salt in a pint of water; drink it
and goto bed. It is one of the speediest
remedies known. The same will revive
a person who seems almost dead from a
heavy fall.
BELIEF FOR BURNS.—A quick cure is to
apply a layer of common salt aad saturate
it with laudanum. Hold it in place an
hour or so by a simple bandage. The
smarting sensation will disappear rapidly
and the burn get well.
FOR SPRAINS.— There is nothing better
than a strong decoction of wormwood and
vinegar. A flaunel cloth wrung out of
the above just as hot as the patient will
bear, and bound on the affected part will
give immediate relief.
CROI r. — A towel or flannel cloth wrung
out of hot vinegar in which a little salt has
been added, and placed upon the chest
and throat—changing every ten minutes
with a dry towel thoroughly covering it,
often materially assists in relieving an at
tack of croup.
GARGLE FOR SORB THROAT. —Take one
teaspoonful of cayenne pepper, one tea
spoonful of salt, one pint of water, two
tablespoonfuls of .vinegar; sweeten to
taste with honey or loaf sugar. Mix to
gether and bottle.
To REMOVE substances from the eye.—
Make a loop of a bristle or horsehair,
insert it under the lid, and then withdraw
slowly and carefully. This is sa.d to be
neverfailing.
To CURE WARTS. —Cut a slice from a
raw potato and rub the hand each night :
let the water dry on the hand. It will
need but few applications.
To RELIEVE ASTHMA —Soak blotting or
tissue paper in strong saltpetre water.
Dry and burn at night in the bed-room.
To CURE CORNS. —Apply morning and
evening one drop of solution of per chlor
ide of iron.

WHAT MAKES a NEWSPAPER: —The ele

liked the paper very much, that he used to
get it when he was in the penitentiary.
*• What peculiar feature of it do you like
most?'' asked one of the sifters. •' I like
your pitching into the Legislature. I've
got a brother who brought disgrace on the
family by belonging to it. I've never

14 SEE her kiss that ugly dog," said one
geutleuiau to a friend on a Fourth Avenue
car in a loud whisper, calling attention to
a woman who was lavish with her endear

tunate man said in vinegary accents : " It
won't hurt me if 1 do." 44 Oh, I beg
your pardon, madam, but my sympathy

priced name ?" said a blunt spoken cal
ler. 41 lie may be homely but he's mine
thank you. 1 didn't have to marry a
widower with four over grown b >y*, as
you did." This treading on corns, me
taphorically, doesn't pay.
44 Yor had l>etter change that 44 rug, '
said a lady to a servant. 44 Don't you
think it corroborates better with the car

the same girl who told her mistress that

speech had called to see her.
44 COURTESY open many doors," says the
old adage. 44 This may be true as far as
it goes," says the commentator, 44 but you
might stand before a bank building and
courtesy till your spiual column was as
limber as an old postage stamp, yet the
doors wouldn't spring back on their hin
ges worth a cent."
PATRIOTISM:— 44 Say, ma,you know that
sour milk ? Well, it's all spilled into the
bottom of the refrigerator and run out into
the pan underneath." 4 ' Never mind my
dear, put it ou the table and call it kou
miss. My boarders are patriotic. They'll
drink it." The way to make money in a
boarding house is to make every point
tell.

An automatic buoy, having a ten-inch
whistle and a glass globe on the top for an
electric light, has been moored in thirteen
futhoms of water near £*andy Hook light
ship. The Inventor of this buoy claims
that it will show an intermittent electric
light, the generation being operated by the
action of the waves. By the motion of
the buoy, due to its rise and fall ou the
waves, air is compressed in the buoy,
which acts intermittently to drive an elec
tric engine and to sound a whistle. When
the air reaches a certain degree of com
pressiou the engine rotates and the carbon
in the globe brilliantly glows; at the same
moment the whistle sounds.

Messrs. P. Noustaedter A Co.
Gentlemen, 1 am happy to inform you that
Anake.xis. Dr. 8. Silsbee's Pile remedy, met
with my approbation. I have tried it in three
different cases, and it has not failed to relieve
them at once. The patient that had it for two
years says he thinks he is well, and that he
always expects to keep a box on hand for fear
it might come back again; another case of
short duration used only three applications and
says she is entirely well. It is the best thing
I have ever seeu for Piles. I will use it in my
practice when needed.
Yours obediently,
