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.

Pretty wall baskets can be made by
taking one of the rough straw hats so

two ago. If a flower or vine is not al
already embroidered on it, add some
such decoration; then line the hat with
muslin or silesia, finish tho edge with
a pleating of ribbon, and tie a ribbon
in a knot and fasten to it for a handle.
The hat may be flattened by pressure,
or by using.stout linen thread for that
purpose.

The Uolugo.
In the forests of the islands consti
tuting the Indian archipelago is found
a curious living animal which forms
the connecting link between the lemur
and the bat. The natives call it the
colugo, and also the "flying fox," but it
looks more like a flying-monkey, as the
lemurs are the cousins of the monkeys.
Like the bats, these animals sleep in
the day-time, head downward ; but as
evening comes on, they sally forth,
often doing great harm to the fruit on
the neighboring plantations. In some
parts of Java they are so numerous
that it is found necessary to protect
the fruit-trees with huge nets. The
extent of their flights through the air
is sometimes astonishing. They some
times drop to the ground and hop
along with a shuffling kind of leap, but
if they are alarmed, they spring to the
nearest tree and in a moment reach its
top by a series of bounds. Out upon
th 2 branches they dart, and with a rush
are off into space. Sailing through the
air like some great bird, down they go
obliquely, swift as an arrow, a hun
dred and fifty feet or more, rising
again in a graceful curve and alighting
safely on a distant tree. In these
great leaps they carry their young,
which cling to them, or sometimes fol- j
low them in their headlong flights, ut_
tering hoarse and piercing cries. The
colugos lives almost exclusively on
fruit, preferring plantains and the
young and tender leaves of the cocoa
palm, though some writers aver that
they have seen them dart into the air
and actually catch birds. The flying
lemurs are perfectly harmless, and so
gentle as to be easily tamed. They
have lovely dark eyes and very intelli
gent and knowing faces.— St. Nicholas. 1

AV hile considering tho various dis
asters that have visited portions of the
civilized world during the present year,
says the Cleveland Leader, and whilf
looking out for similar visitations
which are predicted, it will he interest
ing, if not exactly reassuring to re
view the frightful convulsions and
eruptions that have now and then oc
curred, engulling in ruin all who eann
in their way. Without speaking <>l
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.

-ives hie nne -licited testimony. Hear him:
"I havebneu dreadfully troubled with disease of the
Kidney and Liver during the past ail months; at times
1 was so severely afflicted that I was unable to stand on
ro y fet, as my feet and lower parts of my legs were very
badly swollen; my urinary organs were in a dreadful com
dition, iny blood was in a wretched state, and it had
become so Impoverished and circulated so po >rly that
my handa and feet would be cold and numb and ao white
ae to appear lifeless. I could not rest nig bta. but was
so distressed sit over that I could not lis still In bed. but
would keep turning and rolling from one side totbeothor
all night, so that I would feel m ire ired and exhausted
in tlm morning than when I went to bed. My oondltion
became bo serious that I was obliged to atop work, and
lor II,My days 1 wna unxble to bs on duty. I consulted
i 1,.. best doctois. and tried the numerous modiotuee and
a . , alled etires, but rapidly grow worce. and was in s
n 1 condition eve y way when a long-time valuer. fru-nd
of mine, prominent in this city n a large eipro-s com.
pany urged me to try Hunt's Homody, as he had known
of wonderful cures effected by it. Upon his represents
,i„n 1 ol.tained two butt lav of tbs Remedy and com
menced taking it • irectod, and greatly to mf am,too
lu let s than twenty-four hours I commenced to fee. re
ncved 1 waa In an awful condition when 1 begin to
lake the Remedy, nud had nofaith in it. therefore, when
1 found almost immediate relief, even in one day a use
of it my heart was mads glad, ami 1 nesure you IO m.
tinued to take tha Remedy and to improve eonatautl J
from day to day. 1 took It with moon my trip to Maine
for 1 was bound to have it with me all the time, and the
>< s id is that 1 improved speedily all the time I wasawuyj
audevor since n a,rival home, which woe sev.ra weeks
tK . I have been on duty every day. I feel fir it rate, and
the'swelling of hand, ieet and legs have disappeared.
rv <tb teir.blebackache wbich used to bother me mora
th n all the rest, troubles me no more, and I sleep
splendidly nights, and sorely have very excellent and
forcible reasons forspe .king in praise of Hunt a Remedy.
