ittn mitrriri important to farmers, j U 13 coming to be bettor understood I that Bflccess in farming depends far mora upon how much one gets per acre than upon the number of acres j he cultivates. If a man's time, teams, aamA t ... .-.1 am on t- o otn HTP WOrth OT 1 cost $500 a year to cultivate fifty acres, and the croDS produced, whatever they j may be, are equivalent to twelve bush els or wheat per acre, worth on an average $1 per bushel, he has just $100 left tor interest ot the land, taxes, etc. If the crops equal fifteen bu&hels of wheat per acre, he has $250 surplus for 1 1 If fliair a i-a onual In Ivontu bushels ot wneat per acre, ne nas ?oou surplus : if twenty-five bushels per acre, he has $750. The eame rule holds good for one hundred acres, or j any other area. The great question i then is how to increase the yield per ' acre, with only the same cost for la- ; bor, teams, implements and seed. Omitting the question of drainage, and of green manures, and supposing J the land in proper dryness ami tilth , there is no doubt that a sufficient J amount of the right kind of manure ; or fertilizers will secure this 8 to 15 bushels per acre increase. Kecent observations, careful experi ments and extensive chemical investi- i gations, show that our cultivated ;rops need for their best groth the pres j enct of several substances. Three or j four are seldom abundant in soils, or , are .largely available in but few, and are -rapidly exhausted by the removal ot creps. Two of these, for example, phosphoric acid and nitrogen, are in dispensable as plant food. Potash is ilso needed as food, and to develop and prepare other food. Lime acts like potash in feeding or preparing i .food for plants. Of these four substances, nitrogen, potash, lime and phosphoric acid, some soils and crops want one, some want two and some want three, if not all of them. Good barn yard manure invar iably contains all of them. So long as one can get enough of good barn yard manure, cheaply enough and near enough to the fields, that 19 all that is needed. With it, if the other conditions of soil, its diyness and tilth or mechanical condition, be right, we can raise our crops from an equivalent j of 12 bushels of wheat to 20 or 25 or j more bushels per acre. j l!ut unless it be on farrn3 ru::inly uscd in stock raising, there is fur from enough good yard manure to secure ; the higher profits. And just here j another question comes in. If a soil j lacks potash only, a small quantity of ; this in the form of potash salts or of ; ashes, may be useful as thousands of ! pounds of yard manure containing on- ' ly the same amount of potash. In ; that case wc could buy and apply the j potash more cheaply than we could haul and apply the manure to a field i distant from the yard, allowing the manure to cost nothmg If the soil lack only phosphoric acid for a cer tain crop, m bag of superphosphate or dissolved bones will supply more o( it ! than several tons of yard manure. If: then we can ascertain just what a ; field lacks, wo may find it very prefi- ; table to buy the special fertilizer the j oil wants, and use the vanl manure i oi such fields as need all it contains, or on those heavy soils where its loos ening effect will be the most useful anil where little hauling is required. j American Ari-tIturit. j Remarkable Clock Mechamsm. In the French horological section, at i the Kxhibition, were two clocks re- j markable for their mtclianisiu. On the top of one of them isi seated, s.nys : the Silrrrsniitfis Trade Journal, a Lamisomely a'.tirel (Ireek hvly, a Eg ure hardly a span high, with a small barrel organ, held by a hoy, resting on her Lnecs. With the cluck's lit stroke the miniature organ is set in motion and pl.nys a tune, the boy keeping time with his head. On the left, an of the figure is a bright star ling, which as soon as the piece is played out repeats the melody, accom panied by the movements of the lady's head. The mechanism of tlie secci.d clock is still more wonderful. The ; clock is siumriiited hv a figure re presenting a juggler ir. Oriental cos tume, seated behind a golden table. To his right stands three large silver ! bells on a plate. The juggler raifes 1 himself as the clock strikes, and gesti culates with his hands as if in pi t par alion for his feat, takes vy one of the bells, shows it to the spectators to con vince them that it is empty, then seiz es another bell, and puts both on the table. He lifts them up again and under each lies now a golden cirg, which appears and disappears repeat edly. Sometimes both eggs disappear, sometimes tliey increase in number, and Instead of two, three or four eggs are seen. The iittle magician's per formance reaches its climax when lie turns up the third bell and displays a broiicu ball to the astonished audi ence. This bronze ball bursts imme diately after, and a Lilliputian bird, about the length of a linger nail, makes its exit and pipes a tune. The next moment all vanishes agiin, and the clever performer, after a graceful bow, resumes his seat. An Ivrr.KESTiMt V zzi.r.. Perhaps some of our youni; folks are not fami liar wit.Ii tlie following jui.zle : A young m:n akttl an oIl man for his daughter in inairiage. The answer was : "flo into tlie orchard and bring in a parcel of apples. (Jive me one- Lalf of the whole number, and the ... t 1. t..,ir ,.r . . i half an aple over, and the daughter t.ir ,.t a.A 1 l...ir Tit-uaii vj I .lie itr.ll.tlllv.wl Ullt null .III apple over, and have one ITt for your self, without .tutting tho apph and then, if she is willing, you can have ! tier." He solved the nnetion, and how'manj' did he bring? 1'ourtce n,as you can easily piove. The old worn- . an was to have one half of the balance, which would be three and a half, and half nn apple over, whieh would make four apples for her. There would lie three apples left, of which the daugh ter is to have one half and half an apple over, whieh would give her two j and leave the lover his one, '"without cutting the apple." i Salt for the Throat. One vho has tried with benefit recommends salt as a gargle for the throat for those in clined to a hacking cough, or soreness of the throat or mouth. A ten spoon ful of sait is disolved it: half a tu:.i blerful of cold water, and with this the throat is gargled just before each meal. An unusual freedom from coughs or sore throat is claimed to be l he result of this ?ini:-!e icuicdv.

White ' flour may not he the best. The test of good flour is by the amount of water it absorbs.

You must never attempt to boil the dress ; ing of a clear soup in the stock, for it will always discolor the soup. In making any satn-e put the butter and flour in together, ami your sauce will never be lumpy. Vi'heiievi r you see your sauce boil from the -.ides of the pan you may know your flour or ; corn starch is done. lioileil fowl with sauce, over which grate the yolk of eggs, is a magnificent dish for luncheon. Tepid water is produced by combining two-thirds cold and one-third boiling. To make maccaroni tender, put it in cold water and bring it to a boil. It will then be much more tender than if put in hot water or stewed in milk. The volk of eggs binds the crut much ' ot ter than the whites. Apply it to the edges with a brush. ( Md potatoes may be f l eshened up by plung ing them into cold water before cooking them. Never put a pudding that is to be steamed in anything else than a dry mould. Never wash raisins that are to be used for sweet dishes. It makes the pudding heavy. To clean them, wipe them in a dry towel. To brown sugar for sauces or for puddings, put the sugar in a perfectly dry saucepan. If the pa., .s the least bit v.. t the sugar will burn, ami you will spoil your saucepan. Cutlets and steaks may be fried as well as broiled, but must be put in hot butter or lard. The grease is hot enough when it throws otr a bluish smoke. The water used in mixing bread must be tepid hot. If it is too hot, the loaf will be full of great holes. To boil potatoes successfully : when the skin breaks pour otT the water and let them finish cooking in their own steam. In making a .-rust of any kind do not melt the lard in the nour. Melting will injure the crust. In boiling dumplings of any kind put them in the water one at a time. If they are put in together they will mix with each other.

To make the clear soups strain the stock, to re move from it all the shreds of meat and re move from the top of it all the grease, and cook in a stew-pan. ."Separate the yolk and white and add a little salt. Do not use the yolks. If the shell- are perfectly clean put them in, too. Add half a gill of cold water and put it into the stock and whisk the contents of the sim mering pan with two forks. The instant it boils the white of the eggs will gather all the impurities at the surface. Boil quickly two or three minutes and pour it at once through a clean kitchen towel and try to prevent the crust from coming out of the pan. The soup is now perfectly clear. It can be made brown by adding a few drops of caramel, but clear soup is the most fasionable. Housekeepers will do well to cut this out and paste it up where it is handy. "Whitewash. Following is the Ger niantown Tilnjrnh'g recipe for prepar ing whitewash : Take the very best stone-lime, and slack it in a close tub, covered with a cloth to pre serve the steam. Salt as much as can be dissolved in the water used for slacking and reducing the lime should be applied, and the whole mass carefully strained and thick ened with a small quantity of sand, the purer and finer the lietter. A few pounds of wheat flour mixed as paste may be added, and will give greater durability to the mass, especially when applied to the exterior of buildings. With pure lime, properly slacked and mixed with twice its weight of fine sand and sifted wood ashes, in equal proportions, almost any color may le made by the addi tion of pigments. Granite, slate, freestone and other shades maybe imitated, and with out any detriment to the durability of the wash. This covering is very often applied, and with good effect, to underpinning, stone fences, roofs and the walls of barns and other out-buildings. Probably the pure whitewash is more healthy than the colored, as its alka lescent properties are superior, and when used in cellars, kitchens and sleeping a part ments, produces salutary results. No jhtsoti w ho regards the health of his family should neglect to apply a coat of it every spring. Country places, especially farm out-houses, fences, etc., are greatly improved in appear ance by an annual coat of good w hitewash, and w ill add to their permanency much more than many would imagine. It is cheap and easily applied, so that neither expense nor labor can be urged against it. A SiNGi i.Ai: Uiiin Fact. It lins f.r ;t .mj time ln'i'ii an eiii;iiia t tin-orintlilivrit lmw ! certain )ecies of small siniiinii ltinl. wliirli sneml tlie winter in Efijptor Algeria, ami I the summer in Southern or Western KunH', ever succeed in crossing the Mediterranean, ; as many of them are not alle to II y one itar- ter of a mile without resting. The Ilcduins j of Northern Africa say that they travel on ; the hacks of larger hinls, whiling away the ; dreary hours of the sea voyage hy their song, ' ami Iledouin poetry swarms w ith allusions to J this charming picture of the songless stork carrying on his powerful hack a cluster of j small songsters across the sea. Ami, singu- j larly enough, the peasants of Southern and , Western Europe say exactly the same. Ev- I cry European country has thousands of sto- l ies alout the splendid gifts which the storks , hring along from the Nile, ami among these i gifts are always mentioned as the first, habit's I and singing birds. 5ut in spite of this re markable unanimity in the lower spheres, none has dreamed of finding a fact at the ! bottom of these tales until lately, one great oriM'tliohigist after the other declares himself j willing to accept the explanation : mr have : traces of positive proof been altogether lack- ' ing. AXOTHKH WoNDKItKl l, 1)IS( OVKIlV. TllC Ihithurst (N. S. W.) Courier reports a most n;iia-uous discovery in connection with the ! importation of live cattle. Signor Kotura and ; Mr. James (Jrant have devised a freezing pro- j cess by which the life of animals can be sus- j ponded long enough to secure their shipment to any point, after which they are thawed out and sold to grass if necessary. A writer says ! he saw fourteen sheep, four lambs and three pigs that had been in the frozen trance for , nineteen days. One of the lambs was re- , moved to another room, dropped gently into a warm hath, taken out in twenty minutes, and after being manipulated by Signor Ko tura for ten minutes skipped out through the door and went gamboling about the green. The same process applies to cattle, but the ' handling, owing to their great weight, would i be diilicult. Signor Kotura has no doubt that animation can he suspended and restored ; in the human body by the same process. j Morxino Min.xc.K.
