To raise good tomatoes, says an ex- i

barrow of earth from where ea vine
is to stand, fill with half soil and half
coal ashes and therein set out the plant.
Plants thus treated will bring out
neaily double the fiuit of others, and
much smoother and larger, in this
s"il, though in case of drought the
plants require water sooner, and more
of it, than those growing in common soil.
The analysi.- of hay cut at different
pt nods of growth at the Connecticut
Experiment Station shows, says the
Cufiinhir, that the early cut hay is
scarcely better than the later mowed,
while the feeding records give no
greater actual value to the former.
The early cut hay, moreover, is reckon
ed to diminish the crop on seventy
five acres by some twenty tons on
account of shrinkage. This is contra
ry to the general 11 ief
The Norwegian method of making
hay is as follows: The grass, when
cut, is hung up on polos to d ry-, where
it remains until the wind and sun cure
it. The sun does not burn it; on the
contrary, it is as bright and green as
when growing. In some fields strings
of fences arc seen, bearing thin loads
of hay, several rods in length. Some
farmers plant posts in the fields twelve
feet apart, and in the upper part of
these posts legs aie inserted about
one foot asunder. On these pegs
poles are laid, and on them the grass
is hung, where it remains until it is
thoroughly cured. The result is the
very best of hay.
The editor of the Southern Planter
says : "The other day we met a gen
tleman from Alabama, who gave us a
piece of information as to ascertaining
the age of a horse, after it has passed
the ninth year, which was quite new
to us, and will be, we arc sure, to most
of our readeis. It is this: After
the horse is nine years old, a wrinkle
comes on the eyelid, at the upper cor
ner of the lower lid, and every year
thereafter he has one well-defined
wrinkle for each vear of his age over
nine. If, for instance, a horse has
three wrinkles, he is twelve; if four,
thirteen. Add the number of wrink
les to nine, and you will always get
at it. So s:ys tht- gentleman ; and he
is confident it will never fail."
The horse is an e.rjensire animal
to l i Three feeds of oats perlay
of four quarts each amount to 137
bushels jer year, worth say $43. I
estimate the hay he will consume at
$."0 for the same time, shoeing $.",
cari 15 at the lowest, interest on his
cost (say $150) $10 50, loss by wear
increased age and liability to accident
and disease $7 giving $1.15 50 as the
yearly cost of keeping one horse, from
which I should deduct $10 as the val
ue of the manure he could make.
Many farm horses are kept at half this
expense, but even then the cost of
keeping six will make a gap in the
pro-its. Three good, prompt-stepping
horses, will fed and cared for, will do
the work of live that are aged, crip
pled and debilitated.
An exchange tells of a farmer who
plants, two or tim e weeks after the
crop is put in, a ne w hill of corn every
fifteenth row each way. He gives the
following explanation as a reason for
this: If the weather becomes dry af
ter the filling time the silk and tasc ls
both become dry and dead. In this
condition, if it should become season
able, th-i silk revives and renews its
growth, but the tassels do not recover.
Then, lor want of pollen, the new silk
is unable to fill the office fcr which it
was designed. The pollen from the
replanted corn is then ready to supply
silk, and the filling is completed. He
says nearly all the abortive ear9, so
common in all com crops, are caused
by the want of pollen, and he has
known ears to double their size in
this filling.
No f:inrtcr need expect to gather
fruit many seasons without manuring
the orchard thooughly. This point
U often overlooked. Kvery third

.should ho applit'd. Uoncdust and

I the last few months, says the Aber
deen Evening Express, a course of treat
ment, having for its object the cure of
intemperance, has been carried on in
Al?rdeen with apparently most success
ful results. Some of our readers may
remember that about the beginning of
the present year a paragraph appeared in
our columns narrating the extraordinary
success which attended the efforts of a
Chicago physician to cure drunkards of
theircravingfoe, spiritous liquors, by the
use of a medicine prepared from the red
Peruvian bark. Among the persons
whose attention was attracted by the
story were several gentlemen of influ
ence in Aberdeen, to whom it occurred
to give the supposed remedy a practical
trial. These gentlemen brought the
matter under the notice cf Dr. Stewart,
of the Ileathcot Hydropathic Establish-
ment, at the same time making the pro
posal which had suggestea useii to men
mindsnamely, that a patient such as
wmil.l tti.tUp thft case, so to speak, a test
one, should lie rut through a course of
treatment at Ileathcot. Tliey were
gratified to find Dr. Stewart quite as
much interested in the matter as they

the work was commenced, and little
27 SiSR? ."b A
man assessed of no mean share of ac-
; complishments, and yet in the prime of
! life, who for years had been the slave of
habits that were surely uragging nun i
i ruin, who, indeed, four months ago pre
i sented the appearance of a physical and
j mental wreck, was, if any could be, a
fitting subject ; in point of fact, it was
j specially with a view to the reformation
I of one whose deplorable condition made
I him a subject of pity to all who saw him
1 w-anderinjr alxmt the streets, that the
proxsal first took form. The inebriate
was conveved to Ileathcot about four
months ago, and at once put under the
treatment which may be here described.
The remedy is said to have been discov
ered bv a Dr. IVUniier, of Chicago, and
thfi sole inured ient used in its prepara
tion is the red Peruvian bark (Chwhnna
. known among druggists as
as
"quill bark," from the fact that it is
obtained from twigs about the size of a
quill. The bark is reduced to powder,
and soaked in diluted alcohol, after which
its bulk is lessened by one-half, being
strained or evaiorated off. On the first
and second days the medicine, which, in
its prepared state, bears the technical
name of Ejrtrartum Ciixrhonm Jlnhrrr Li
iiniilum, is administered to the patient in
the proportion of a teaspoonful every
j three hours, the tongue being oocasion
I ally moistened in the interval between
I the doses. On the third day the dose is
reduced to a half-sioonful, a quarter
I spoonful, and subsequently to fifteen,
1 ten, and five drops. The treatment is
! continued, on an average, for eight days
i in extreme cases for thirty days. Eike
j the well known preparation derived from
! the same source quinine the Estract
i um Cinrhomc is a powerful tonic, but it
j xssesses the qualit y w hich quinine lacks,
j of inspiring those that partake of it with
; a thorough, and for a time, unconquera
' ble aversion to spiritous liquors. At
; Ileathcot the treatment was. in effect,
j as we have indicated, and almost from
j its commencement it develojied the most
extraordinary results. After the. first
i few doses the intense craving for drink
' leoanie less and gradually disappeared ;
while in the place of it there was mani
i fested a no l-ss marked aversion to the
i alcohol, which shortly grew into perfect
j disgust. The treatment was continued ;
1 for three months, after the lapse of j
i which period the itatient returned to :
I Al'vdeen, with a color in his cheeks j
I that for years had lieen absent, and such i
j health and vigor in his movements as i
l could not fail to carry conviction regard-
i ing the result of the work. The once !
j decrepit and maudlin drunkard has been i
furnished withemployment. Physically !
, the man has lieen retrieved from error.
I Emlodenpd ly the success which at- j
I leiiiii'fi men euoi is in i iiim wii.iin e,
i Stewart and his friends' had another pa
I tient subjected to the effects of themed
: ieine at Ileathcot. In this ease it was a
I commercial man. w hose deplorable desire
i for spirituous liquors was fast ruining
j him and destroying the happiness of his
I family. The case was not so hopelessly
bad as the previous one. yet. it called
i for remedy, if ever fine did. The man
was brought to Ileathcot one day dead
drunk, and when the first fierce craving
had passed the aversion to spirits as was
displayed in the other case resnlted.
His wife, in a letter, while expressing in
the most earnest manner the iioje that
the efforts for her husband's reformat ion
would lie rewarded with success, de
spaired of the result, knowing from ex
IH'rienee, as she said, that the unhappy
man would find some means of furnish
ing himself with stimulants of some
shajie. whether w hiskey, chloral, opium,
or chloroform. In a month, however,
tfie patient was allowed to visit the city
I :!r!;',',sr ikt,:!:;:
He is now an altered man. lias no lonr-
inar for stron? drink, and hates the very
: sijihtof it. Yet another ease. A young
I man, whose habits threatened to involve
j him in the moral and physical destruc
! tion which in the preceding cases was all
! but reached, was sent up toDeeside, and
atter undergoing a fortnight's treatment
at the hands of Dr. Stewart, returned to
the town freed from the incubus which
had been ruining him. These are the
instances which up to the present time
have lK-en noted by Dr. Stewart, and. in
all, it will lie observed, the result has
lK-en success, complete and unmistakable
success. It would lie rash, however, to
view the cures as complete jet. Time
will have to show whether the effects of
the medicine are lasting, and meanwhile
the cases must lie regarded as evidencing
only a temiorary cure. Viewed in the
latter light, however, the results are,
we think, sufficiently interesting to war-
j rant o'ir giving publicity to them. In
i i. . .. . . . .
summon io me experiments conducted
at Ileathcot, we are informed by Mr.
Kddie, chemist, by whom the bark was
prepared for Dr. Stewart, that quantities
of the extract have been obtained from
: him for other iersons, and that, so far

A few months ago I made the acquaint
ance of a dog which, I think, is worthy
of a place among the dogs and cats and
rats and mules that are helping the pa-

In former years, on the arrival of the !

to the poultry-yard to catcli chickens for 1
the tourists' dinner. Now, the dog '
"takes time by tle fore-lock.'' The j
stage is due, at G o'clock. About 5 o'
clock the dog saunters leisurely down
j the road till lie meets the stage. He 1
then bounds back to the poultry-yard, '
I catches chickens, bites their heads off !
! and takes them to the cook ! The num.- 1
; ber of chickens he kills bears a relation
j to the numlier of passengers he saw in
, the stage. A gentleman who was stop- j
j ping at the hotel for a few days went j
! into the woods one afternoon with a gun.
j AVhen he returned, the dog came to him '
j in much excitement to see what game '

Travelling Rocks. Lord Dunra
ven contributes the following among
other sketches to the Nineteenth Century
for July :
A strange scene, for example, which came
within my observation last year, completely
puzzled me at the tune and has done so ev
er siuce. I was In Nova Scotia in the fall
when one day ray Indian told me that in a
c
o
c
c
c
o
c
o
lake close by all the roclcs were moving on
of the water a circumstance which I tno't
not a little strange. However, I went to
look at the no heard of spectacle, and sure
enough there were the rocks appearently all
moving ont of the water on to dry land. The
lake is of considerable extentbot shallow
and fall of great masses of rock. Many of
these masses appear to have travelled right
out of the lake and are now high and dry
some fifteen yards above the margin of the
water. They have ploughed deep and regu
larly defined channels for themselves. You
may see them of all sizes, from blocks of,
say, rongnly speatung, six or eight ieet in
diameter, down to stones which a man
could lift. Moreover you find tbem In vari
ous stages of progress, some a hundred yards
or more from shore and apparently just be
ginning to move; ethers half-way to their
destination, and others again as I have said
high and dry above the water. In al'. cases
there is a distinct groove or furrow which
the rock has clearly ploughed for itself. I
noticed one particularly good specimen, an
enormons block which lay some yards above
high-water mark. The earth and stones
were heaped up in front of it to a height of
three or four teet. There was a deep furrow
the exact breadth of the block, leading down
directly from it into the lake, and extend
ing till it was hidden from my sight by the
depth of the water. Loose stones and peb
bles were piled np on each side of the groove
in a regular, clearly defined line. I thought
at first that from some cause or other the
smaller stones, pebbles and sand had been
dragged down from above, and consequent
ly had piled themselves np in front of all
the large rocks too heavy to be removed and
had left a vacant space or furrow behind the
rocks. But if that had been the case the
drift of moving material would of course
have joined together again to the space of a
few yards behind the fixed rocks. On the
contrary, these grooves or farrows remained
the same width throughout their entire
length, and have, I think, undoubtedly been
caused by the rock forcing its way np thro'
the loose shingle and stones which compose
the bed of the lake. What power has set
the rocks in motion It is difficult to decide.
The action of ice is tbe ouly thing that
might explain it ; but how ice could exert
itself in that special manner, and why, if ice
is the cause of it, it does not manifest that
tendency in every lake in every part of the
worm, l uo not pretend to comprenena.
My attention having been once directed to
this, I noticed it in virions other lakes.
Unfortunately my Indian only mentioned it
to me a day or two before I left the woods.
I bad not time, therefore, to make any inves
tigation into the snbject. Possibly some of
my readers may be able to account forthis,
to me, extraordinory phenomenon.
li.visixo Quails. A hint that may
lie worth taking is furnished by the fol
lowing from a Southwestern journal :
"I have a pair of old quails (male and fe
male') with a family of twenty-seven little
quails. Tbey are the most delightful and cu
test little things I ever saw. The yonug
ones are about half grown; and do so many
qneer things that they keep me iu a fit of
i merriment a.l the time I am watching
! them. The old ones, as I write, are sitting
on each gatepost, whistling their "Bob
j White" ca'il in answer to tbeir neighlorB in
the woods. I never saw anything half so
nice as a quail. I got mine from a lady
friend, who commenced raising them last
I year by mere accident. One evening, while
; hunting berries in the pasture, she found a
i sick quail on ber nest. The quail seemed
insensible and almost dead. She took the
; bird, uest and al', home wilh her, and trans
planted them in her hen-house. Y ith Kina
treatment the bird was well in Ja fer days,
and strange as it seems, never showed any
desire to leave her new home, but continued
sitting, and hatched twenty-lhrce young
quails, and raised twenty to be full grown
The ialy tells me that this year sue has rais
ed over two huudred."J

; a patent for restoring and preservi:
butter ; his invention relates to a nut
process for purifying butter, Lavr,
; especial reference to arresting ferrna"!
I tation and restoring rancid bu'.trr
His process consists in mcltin" tie
butter in a clean vessel under a'V.r
and regular heat, and while it is rao'v
ing he adds two ounces of pulverize-
: alum to every fire pounds of butter
the butter being stirred gently while
melting. When thoroughly
ii strained through a fine strainer h
to clean water. The butter will rise
j to the surface quite pure and trani
; rent. The alum coagulates the album
I en, the caseine and other foreign ir.it-
ter, all of which are retained in tbt
i strainer, leaving the butUt perfect!
pure and clean and of uniform consist
ency.
When the butter is sufficiently cy'
to be in good working order, i;
carefully taken out and thorough;
worked, adding to each five pounds 0
butter three ounces of good dairy si!
one ounce of clean saltpetre, aui 0:
ounce of pulverized white sugar. T:
butter is then packed in clean ves
and is fit for use.
By covering it with stong brine nr.
