FOR THE FARM AND HOME. Plowing; on Orchard. It will benefit art orchard to plow the ground, but it should be plowed very lightly, to avoid breaking the roots. Pruning the trees is necessary for the production of good fruit, but with all the care possible in this way there will be no good fruit unless the codling moths are destroyed in some way. One way is to pick up all the fallen apples and feed them or burn them. Another is to set light-traps in the orchard at nights, or to have tires or smudge heaps among the trees; but in some way these insects must be destroyed or there will be no good fruit. It is a good plan to keep fowls in the orchard and leave the ground under the trees loose for them to scratch in and hunt these worms. An Kxperimrnt with Potatoes. A Canadian agriculturist, says a Canada exchange, last season tried an experiment with potatoes that is worth noting. It was done by scooping out every eye from a potato and inserting in the flesh of it a single eye carefully cut from another potato of a different kind and planting tho seed thus prepared, obtaining thereby very curi ous crosses, which lie exhibited at the Toronto industrial exhibition. The tubers were small the first year, but by no means as small as the first year's product from seed, and appear to par take of the characteristics of both the original varieties; whether they will reproduce themselves the second year, or revert to one or another of the orig inal types is yet to be determined. Hoot Crops. All root crops really require garden culture. In the cultivation of mangel wurzel sow the seed about the time you usually plant corn, in rows two and a half feet apart, drilling in four or five pounds of seed per acre. Thin out the plants from nine to twelve inches apart in the row. Cultivate fre quently and keep down the weeds; and this is all that is necessary to secure a crop. It should be understood, how ever, that if you wish to grow from 1000 to 1500 bushels of mangel wurzel per acre you must make the land very rich. Many farmers prefer to grow a moderate crop of from 600 to 800 bush els per acre, with the use of only a slight dressing of manure. There are well authenticated instances where 3000 bushels of mangel wurzel have been grown per acre, but in such cases it is necessary to make the soil as rich as a hot-bed.— American Cultivator. Cora or Oats for Ilorses- The comparative value of corn and oats for horses may be briefly stated as ! follows: The former is deficient in many of the elements of nutrition so necessary for recuperating the constant wear and tear which necessarily takes ih the body of a livintr rnhi.ai. On this account, horses which are ex clusively fed on corn or hay do not re ceive that kind of nourishment which appears necessary for the due support and maintenance of the animal fabric; hence we must not be surprised that corn-fed horses show evidence of being languid, by sweating profusely while being worked, lack of vitality, etc. Oats, on the contrary, contain more of the essential elements of nutrition than any other article of food which can be fed with impunity to horses. Oats are not only the most natural food for horses, but are decidedly the most nu tritious. They are the cheapest, be cause there is less risk in feeding them, and experience has proved that horses properly fed on oats and timo thy hay can, with regular exercise, good grooming, and proper sanitary regulations, be brought to the highest state of physical culture, and can per form more work with less evidence of fatigue than when fed on any other article of food. Soaking Seeds. I am often asked whether it does it does any good to soak seeds before sowing them. In general I believe it does more harm than good and if done ■ at all a good deal of judgment should be used to prevent mischief. Thus peas, beans and corn are often soaked to hasten germination, with the belief that they will come a day or two earli er, but in case the weather is cold and wet for some time after sowing the seed, it will be more likely to suffer in jury from the weather, than if sown dry. Especially is this true of the McLean pea and other delicate green peas, and of the various kinds of sweet corn. When the weather is dry and hot, however, it may be an advantage to steep the seeds before using them, and especially so in the case of seeds that are slow to germinate, such ;is celery and parsnips and carrots. To steep these seeds fur a few days until germination has started and then dry them just enough to make them pass readily through the seed drill w\ll hasten theii coming up, so that weed ing will be less difucull in case the land is foul; but such seed should not be sown upon foul land if it can be avoided. Care is required in steeping seeds that fermentation does not oc cur, which will frequently kill the seed. It may be arrested by turning off the water and spreading out the seed thinly upon a piece of sheeting and partially drying it. To steep seeds in chemical solutions with the •belief that this will answer in place 01, fertilizing the land, I believe is sheer humbug and imposition upon common sense. The only chemical stuffs that have proved useful, so far as I know, are the blue vitriol to destroy germs ; of smut, strychnine to destroy crows and blackbirds, and a smearing of tar I on corn seed for protection from these | birds.— IV. D. Philbrick. llnu*rlioll the cyclones which swept with destruc tive violence over sections of this country last year, or the other disasters of recent date, on land and sea, earth quakes and various convulsions of na ture that have taken place in the past, and may he repeated when least ex pected. In 17Sit Iceland was visited hv con vulsions which destroyed nearly one lilt h of the population. Twenty vil lages were consumed hv lire or inun dated hv water, and one eruption on the mainland threw up "a mass of lava greater than the bulk of Mount Wane." A new island was thrown up in the sea, hut within a year it sunk, leaving a reef of rocks thirty fathoms under water. In 1522 an earthquake occurred on the island of Java. Tho earth shook, and "immense columns of hot water and boiling mud, mixed with burning brimstone, ashes and lapilla, of the size of nuts, were pro jected from the mountain like a water spout with such prodigious violence that large quantities fell beyond the river Tandio, which is forty miles dis tant." The*eruption lasted four hours, destroying lit villages, killing over 4000 human beings, converting "a mountain ridge into an enormous gulf," and changing the lace of the country for miles around. On September 1, 1730, the earth split in Lanccrota, one of the Canary islands. In a few days "a considerable hill of ejected matter was thrown up, a vent opened sending forth a stream of lava that overran several villages, and flowed into the sea." These terrible commotions lasted five years, tilling the air with putrid vapors in the midst of which hundreds of human beings and animals dropped dead. In 1819 the fort and village of Sindree, on the eastern arm of the Indus, sunk and a tract of coun try 2000 square miles in extent was submerged. In 1815 an eruption took place in the province of Tomboro, and only twenty-six persons survived out of a population of 12,000. An account of the fearful visitation says that "vio lent whirlwinds carried up men, horses, and cattle into the air, tore up the largest trees by the roots, and covered the whole sea with floating timber." Another account says "the floating cinders to the westward of Sumatra formed, on the 12th of April, a mass two feet thick and several miles in ex tent, through which the ships with difficulty forced their way." The town of Tomboro, on the west side of Sumbawa, was overflowed by the sea so that the water remained permanent ly eighteen feet in places where it was dry land before. The area covered by this convulsion was 1090 miles in cir cumference. On the Ist of November, 1775, at Lisbon, a sound of thunder was heard, and in six minutes 00,000 persons perished. "A great concourse of people collected for safety upon a now quay, built entirely of marble, but it sunk with all upon it, and not one body ever appeared upon the sur face. A number of small boats went down, and no fragments of their wrecks ever were discovered. Hum boldt savs that "a portion of the earth's surface four times as great as the size of Europe wa3 shaken by this earth quake." We refer to but a few of these terri fic manifestations of the uncontrollable forces of nature, without going back to the eruptions by which whole cities were buried for centuries from human view, and without discussing the theory advanced by some thinkers that a vast continent, peopled by a highly civilized and populous race, was once swallowed up in the region where now rolls the Atlantic ocean. Innumerable incidents might be quoted from history to prove how uncertain is the thread by which all the affairs of this world hang. There are no reasons to fear any sucli cataclysms as have at various times visited mankind, or to doubt that the earth will continue for centur ies to come to teem with its manifold blessings. Yet it is not impossible that at some day all we see "May bo melted into air, into thin air; And, like the baseless fabric of a vision. The cloud-capped towers, tho gorgeous palaces, The solemn temple, tho great globe itsolf, Yen, all which it inherit shall dissolve, And like nn unsubstantial pageant faded, Leave not a rack behind." The apostle John did not believe in divorces for religion's sake. When ho baptized Chrysippa, the wife of the governor of Patmos (says Prochorus), she would have forsaken her unbeliev ing husband at once; but the aged apostle told her it must not be. lie had a commission, he said, to join her to Christ, but none to separate her from her husband, and he commanded her to return to her house again.
