PLANTING GRAPE-VixEtf. —One would
suppose that so simple a thing as planting
a grape-vine would not need writing about;
and yet the number of people inquiring,
"How shall we plant!" is so great that a
few words to these inquirers may well be
pardoned by those who think they already
know enough about the matter. The rule
is to plant the roots shallow. If they are
long when we have to transplant them, in
stead of setting them deep we lay them
along about four or five inches beneath the
surface. It is of course very necessary to
press the soil very hard and firm over the
toots; that is if the earth is tolerably dry,
though in truth no vine should be planted
except the eanh is in this condition. It is
very useful m planting a grape-vine to cut
it closely in. Unless the last year's growth
be very vigorous it may be almost all cut
away; and even where the growth is stroug
one-half - may be cut away. This is
the way to get a good strong cane forbear
ing uext year, which is the most that one
ought to txpect a vine to do. "Immedi
ate bearing" is a delusion and a suave.
Many persons spend a dollar extra on a
vm6 which he is told by the dealer will
4 bear this year," wht-11 for that amount of
money he could buy treble the quantity of
grapes it v ill bear lor him, even if it bears
at all. Still, we like to plant good, strong
healthy grapea. The little crow-quills,
which come out as rare grapes at hign pri
ces, seldom give much satisfaction. in
deed, it is more than likely that the com
u cn failures which generally follow all of
these introductions are as much owing to
the way their propagation is forced, as to
any iuherent inability in the varieties to
become adapted to soils and climates.
TBK eye ola steer, when prominent,
blight and clear, with a mild and gentle
expression, is an indication ot health, with
a quiet disposition and good feeding qual
ity. If ihe eye \s dull and sunkeu the ca
pillary circulation will be defective aud
ihe luuctious of nutriuou imperfectly per
foimed, and there will uot only bo a defi
ciency in the ability to fatten, but a lack
of strength and constitutional vigor. A
restless and wild expression of the eye in
uicates a predominance ot nervous action
and an unquiet d eposition that is uot com
patible wilh good teediug quality.
PKTSSIA spends two or three million dol

44 As a breeder, yoa must be careful not to
lose the calf flesh, if you do so by starv
ing the animal at any time of his growth,
you lose the cream—the covering of flesh
so uiucn prized by our retail butchers.
Where do all the scraggy, bad fleshed
beasts come from that we see in our mar
kets; and what is the cause of their scrag
ginest? It is because they haye been stin

cav never be regained.
Hox. James Wilbox gives good direc
tions lor gowing grass seed. Where grain
is sown with it for a crop sow ten pounds
of timothy, ten pounds of red clover, two
pounds white clover, and two pounds of
blue grass. When pasture is wanted this
season, sow a bushel ot oats, a peck ot
timothy, ten pounds oi red clover, two of
white, and two of blue grass. Keep off
the cattle till th oats are six inches high.
Ktmember two things in sowing grass seed
sow early and plenty of it.
Breeders have noticed that a iemarka
ble development of the tendency to lay on
fat is usually accompanied by a delicacy o f
constitution, a diminished secretion of
milk and a loss of fecundity. Very fat
animals are not likely to be good Dreeders;
in fact, the excessive production of fat is
incompatible with a nigh development of
the reproductive powers.
ILLEGITIMATE lauipeiing with exhibition

was brought to notice at a recent show, at
which a Clydesdale horse was disqualified

A new method of beet sugar manufac

This is a German discovery.
Home Italian engineers, it is said, have
lately obtained the concession of a large
tract of land near the Dardanelles, where
a vein of basalt containing sulpl ur, has
been discovered. This formation, which
is similar in character to metalliferous
veins, the sulphur beiDg evidently deposi
ted in the form of vapor on the basalt, is
most curious, and differs from the deposits
of sulphur in Sicily, which are of sedimen
tary origin and are due to cert aim chemi
cal or physical phenomena at the time of
tile formation of the deposits.
COLLECT some soot from a chimney or a

It is no easy matter to plug up a dia
mond-drill hole from which there is a
strong flow of water, fiequeDtly under
great pressure. When a hole is to be plug
ged there are forced into it small bags of
beans and flaxseed. The plug—made ot
dry pine and from 10 to 16 feet in length
is driven in alter these bags anil forces
them forward in the drill hole. Also, a
hole is sometimes bored into the end of the
plug, which hole is filled with flaxseed.
The flaqsei d and beans are caused to swell
to such an extent by the hot water that
the hole is as compactly filled as though
closed with molten lead.
Platinum crucibles, on being ignited,
suffer a greater or less decrease m weight

The metal indium has always been a
more attractive object for the physicist
than for the metallurgist. If it were not
for the two brilliant lines m its spectrum,
blue and violet respectively, that helped
Messrs. Reich and Ricbter to its discovery
some eighteen years ago, and which are
still one of the favorite sights for the au
dience of a lecture on spectrum analysis,
the general public might hardly know any
thing of its existence.

tnß CARE or GOLD FISIL— If they are
kept in a glass globe or vase, turn "them
carefully into a pan of fresh water whilo
washing the glass with clear water, plac
ing in the bottom fine gravel, smooth
shells, etc. Replace the fish with a scoop
net; if you change the water twice in
each day, the second time It will only be
necessary to turn out the water gently
and fill it again without disturbing the
fish. If scales are knocked off it takes
two months to heal the wound. Put in a
little ci acker and from one to seven house
flies per day for each fish. Scrape fresh
beef in fine strips and give them twice a
week. When you are out of the room
cover the vase with a shell or netting, to
prevent tneir jumping out; do not let the
netting be thick, or the air will not pass
through. In summer do not let the glass
stand in the hot sunshine, or the fish will
die when the water becomes healed.

Removal of Gkka*k Siuts —When-
ever oil of turpentine, benzole, or ether is
used to remove grease spots on cloth, the
application shtmld be made on the reverse
fide of the cloth by moistening it with
the solvent in a circle surrounding the
spot, so aa to approach it gradually, hav
ing blotting paper in contact with the spot
of grease to absorb the fat immediately;
otherwise the solvent will have the effect
of spreading the geease over a larger sur
face instead of driving it out of the cloth.
In the application of a hot iron to one side
and blotting paper to the other, the heat
will drive the grease out of the cloth into
the paper, because the fat has a tendency
to move from the hotter parts toward the
cooler.

The rcf ults of I>r. lever's investigations
relative to the action of coffee, and which
have been rommuuicated to the Biological
Society of Pans, go toward proving that
its use impedes digestion and brings on
dyspepsia. The experiments were made
with dogs, and in the same manner it was
concluded 'hat sugar acts entirely other
wise, being eminently qualified to promote
digestion. In tlis connection it is recom
mended that coffee be made weak and
much sweetened.

At the recent Fans Electrical Exhibi
tion there was exhibited an interesting ap
paratus invented by Sip nor G. Serrvale,
and designed to tell when a thread broke
in a wire-covering machine while in action.
The breakage of a silk or cotton thread in
covering copper wires for electrical purpo
ses is, of course, a thing to be guarded
against, since it spoils the insulation of the
length of wire subsequently covered minus
that particular lay of insulator. Signor
Serrvalic, therefore, applies the electric
current in such away that an alarm bell is
sounded whenever a thread brsaks. His
device consists in mounting the bobbins of
thread on an ebonite disk, which, in revol
ving, lays the thread on the wire. This
disk is penetrated by a series of biass rods
or needles, there being as many needles as
there are bobbins. Each thread passes
through the eye of one of these needles oa
its way to the wire, and the tension of the
thread pulls on the ueedl • eye. The nee
dles are prevented from being drawn out
of the disk, however, by spiral spriugs on
their other ends behiuu the disc. ' Opposite
these ends are fixed an insulated metal
disk, connected to one pole ot a battery,
while the other pole is connected to all the
needles. Now, when the thread is run
ning freely the tug of it upon the eye of a
needle prevents the point of that needle
touching the me*al disk behind; but when
that thread breaks, the spring throws the
needle back into contact with the metal
i isk behind, and the cucuit being comple
ted the current rings an electric bell. Tins
contrivance is similar to those in use lor
telling the rupture of a thread in reeling
yarns, and it is worthy the attention of
electric wire manufacturers.

costs a fraction oyer s(>l, a saving in the
