- THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD, ———— Seeding to Grass, Before sowing grass seed the farmer should make oortain of having a good seed-bed. More mistakes are made oon- cerning the preparation of land for grass than for any other crop. It is no un. common thing to see a farmer simply running over a plot, where potatoes were grown the previous year, with a cultivator, then following with a harrow. We have seen extreme cases where even the harrow was omitted, the seed sown immediately after the cultivator then simply bushing in the seed, leaving it to make its way as best it oan, Others | will use a one-horse plow to turn under the corn butts, getting in the seed with as little labor as possible, In our ox- perience the best practice is to plow a good deep furrow, followed by a thorough harrowing, and after sowing to bush the seed in and use the roller faithffilly. When timothy and redtop are sown it is best to nse a bushel of red- top, a peck or eleven pounds of timo thy, vy adding six pounds of red clover, which amounts to a very liberal seceding and should yield a fair crop of hay about the first of September, Amerfoan Cultivator, Feeding Hay from the Stack, A correspondent of the Country Gon- lemon writes: A careful observer is frequently surprised at the wanton wastefulness of many farmers, Such wastes cccur more noticeably in the manner of feeding, perhaps, than in any other branch of farm work. For thas reason I would hike to refer to what ap- pears to me a shiftless practice —that of Br chine hay from the stack upon the raeadow. Farmers are generally careful to save the entire crop of hay. Even after hay is pitched from the windrow or hay-cock, the horse rake is putin motion, and the makings are cared for. Thus there is a neatly finished job, and the hay is all saved. But there is not the same general care in feeding. If it pays to be so very careful to save the ay when weare making it, here is no reason why we should not be very care- fal to avoid wastefulness in feeding it. It always seemed to me that the feed- ing of hay upon the ground involves a great waste. If one feeds out of doors it would be well to provide boxes or racks, There are those in this section who have comfortable barns, and yet they persist in feeding upon the meadows. There is less waste of food and manure when cattle are fed in well arranged stables; there is less exposure and better health. The tramping of ground in the warm, open weather which frequently occurs in our winter seasons, robs the soil of much vitality. These poinis are severally oppesed to the practice of feeding upon the mead- ows in winter, Broad Wheels for Farm Wagons. The surface over which loads are dmwn upon the farm is soft as a rule,’ and a wheel with a broad tire will not sink so far as a narrow one. A load of manure or hay can be drawn across plowed or other mellow gnound upon a wagon which has tires four inches wide when it would be impossible to do so with the old narrow wheels, often less than two inches wide. The usually heavy, muddy, country roads of early spring are much more passable with the wide wheels than the narrow ones; and even upon smooth, hard roads the dif- ference in the draft is so slight as to be no argument against the use of wide tires. Most of the teaming upon the farm is upon soft ground, and the light draft of broad tired wagons should make them preferable, because they are a saving of | suimal strength. Oneof the first things | that strikes an intelligent European in coming to this country is the very frail | look of our vehicles, especially the parrow wheels. While these may be | desirable in road wagons, those for farm use may avell be with broad tires. Con- tractors for road work always use broad tired carts, as they find them most profitable.—American Agricuiturist, A Rat-Proof Cora«Crib, A correspondent of the Practical Former gives the following directions for making that most necessary of farm buildings, a rat-proof corn-erib: Build 8 good substantial house, twelve feet wide, eight feet high and as long as you want it. This will give you two enbs, one on either side. Put your building on stone pillars, one foot above ground. Side np with lath 2 1-2x1 inches of hard wood (I used oak), putting them on up and down, being careful to have them just half an inch apart. The gables, and any part of building that does not come in contact with the corn, can be sided np with common. pinebeards; for bottoms of cribs, laths lengthwise, one- half inch apart; balance of floor between eribs lay tight, of pine boards. My building has a string of ties between the sill and plate to nail to, and cross | ties to hold the building together. Every eight feet on these ties spike a good strong studding or narrow plank across them lengthwise of the building | as far from plate as you want the width of top of crib; then set up studding from floor, as many as will be suffi- | ciently strong for cxb; mortice the end in floor, gain the top into the horizontal studding about three-quarters of an inch, then lath the inside of the crib with any kind of lath, just close enough fo keep in the oom, commencing ten inches from the floor to leave room for the corn to come down into the trough, putting these lath on lengthwise. Then put a common sized door in the end, between the eribs, You can put a lock on _the door, and all is secure (I did not lock mine and gained something by it, a8 I found a stray mit- ten in the enb on a cold morning). To get the corn in the crib make doors above the plate the size you want them, the same as dormer windows, and hang the doors on and it will be completed. If any one wishes to have § granary, they can use one side of the building forthat purpose and the other for crib. The size of my cribs is three feet in the clear at bottom anil five feet at top, but 1 am well satisfied they might be much wider and still the eorn wonld etire well. | Any one wanting wider cribs ean build | tha house wide enough to suit. I have | used this crib for- about ten years and can recommend it as an entire suecess, | The secret of this crib is putting the lath on up and down ; this gives no place for the rats to stand onto cut holes, and the building being ome foot above ground they cannot reach the bottom, We are infested with swarms of gray rats and there is not a building on the farm from which we can keep them out except the corn crib. We keep com over a year until the new crop is gath- ered in perfect safety.

Pasteur states that at a farm near Senlis cattle whieh had died of carbun oular fover twelve years ago were buried at a certain spot within a walled ga den. Some specimens of the soil were after that lapse of time lixiviated and concentrated, and some guinea pigs in died soon afterward, developing all of the well-marked symptoms of carbuncle Seven sheep were allowed to pass a fow hours a day at the place where the dis eased animals were mterred, and the re sult of this experiment was that two of the sheep died of fever in about six weeks.

Indeed, at this time of day it requires some extra skill on the part of the gondolier to pick his way through the swimming, floating, plunging population, as thick in spots as shoals of mackerel in their season, screaming and hustling one another in the brine as vigorously as if sporting on shore.

His thoughts—at all events his sensa- tions—are comptetely centered in the business which he has in hand— more properly in mouth; and he dreams as little of approaching danger as. an al- derman at a city feast imbibing the green fat of turtle, while a sparkling chandelier hangs, perhaps suspended by an all but severed chain, over his de- voted head. No chandelier, indeed, but destruction in a living form as bril- liant, bangs suspended over the un. conscious glutton of the oak leaf. An ichneumon fly, poised in the air above him, her iridescent wings and black shining body glittering in the sun, is fearfully vibrating her tail-like piercer, with intent to plunge it into the fleshy back of her well-fed victim. She stoops —her weapon enters—is withdrawn, and leaves behind it, in the wound, a germ of nascent torture a thousand times warm orifice pierced for its reception. In a few hours this egg becomes a tens on the juices, leaving carefully un- emerges, and then, in completion of its murderous part, spins a silken thread, with which it proceeds to bind the nearly exhausted body of its supporter (as Gulliver by Lilliputian cords) to the surface of the oak leafs Thus manacled, the shrunken remnant of the once Inmp crawler exists yet a few miser- able days, while the young ichneumon, having inclosed itself within a shroud of silk, undergoes its transformations, and finally emerges into a perfeet life, a sparking fly, like its parent, close be- side the then dead body of the creature by which it had been nourished to ma- turity. <*“ Episodes of Insect Life.” NR —————————— : The Cleveland Leader says that one- half the murders in this country are i LADIES’ DEPARTMENT, Lessons in Love Making.

Tho follow ing is vouched for by the writer as new: “ Among his youthful diversions was the writing of letters to prominent per- sons in all parts of the country whose names he happened to see in print- entire strangers to him. These usually referred to some prospective business arrangement. Thus he would write to some gentleman in New York: ‘Dear | Bir—1'm sorry to say I shan't be able to get that harness done on the day 1 promised;’ or, ‘I will not be able to call at your house, as you requested,’ ete. In this mystification of unsus- pecting people he was not nnlike the German Owlglass, who, while always playing the fool, never lacked fools upon whom he might try experiments.

Our own Niagara fills its unmatched picture in this broad world no more despotically then Tequendama does its own in South America. It may be as well to admit here thaf, while observing the latter fall, I was far from being at my ease. The fact is, men never manage, whatever they may combine to say, to stand wholly at ease in the presence of a great eatar- act. In the midst of an unrest so mighty and s0 ceaseless no spectator can him- self be entirely at rost. The sublimity of Tequendama is in its depth, as that of Niagara is in its width and immensity of volume. A fall from a great height is Teduendama not a clear fall, however, because the Balto itself is divided into two well- defined leaps. One, the minor leap, is a small fall striking on a ledge, which its volume conceals, twenty-seven feet eight inches below the bed of the Bo- gota, the river which feeds the cataract. The other, the greater leap, starts in foam from the ledge with what seems no longer rushing water--save for the jets of spray that now and then spit out only to fall back after a while, like well-trained skirmishers, into the main body, Outside of such erratic move ments, Tequendama ends by broadening into a strong, glistening mass, the lower descent of which is lost in the mist that never leaves it, winter or snm- mer, After rebounding from the ledge, it dashes itself forward and downward to commit that solitary form of suicide, which, in all the annals of men, finds no detractor, The width of Tequendama depends, of course, upon the breadth of the Bo- gota as it fronts the cliff. The measure of the Bogota is the full measure of the fall, and that measure seoms very limit- ed in comparison with the far vaster proportions of the gulf itself. Any muscular man on so much solid surface might easily cross it at a dozen jumps within half that distance of the cataract. Its depth is mighty. If not the great- est, it suffices to make Tequendama one of the deepest among the falls of the earth—Ruckon Foss in Norway, 800 feet, and Lulea, in Sweden, 600 feet, alene probably surpassing it. The pub- | lished accounts, asa rule, place it at 600 | feet, although the real descent, varying | between Humboldt's estimate, by drop- ping, of G85 feet, and Baron Grog's by measure, of 479 feet, is doubtless nearer | B00 feet. KEyen at this last figure, Te- quendama is more than three times as | deep as Niagara, which is said to touch | bottom at 160 feet. The bed of the | chasm is 102 feet lower than the foot of | the fall itself.— New York Mail.

The teeth should be cleaned at least once a day, the best time being night—the last thing. For this purpose use a soft brush, on which take a little soap, and then some prepared chalk, brushing up and down and There is rarely any objection to the friction causing the gum to bleed slightly. (2) Avoid all rough usage of the teeth, such as cracking nuts, biting thread, ote, as by so doing even good, sound teeth may be injured, {3.3 When d« Cay is first observed ad- vice should be sought. It is the stop- ping in a small hole that is of the greatest service, though not nunfre quently a large filling preserves the teeth for vears. (4.) It is of the greatest importanen that children from four years and up ward should have their teeth frequently examined by the dental surgeon, to see that the first set, particularly the back teeth, are not decaying {oo early, and to have the opportunity of timely treat. ment for the regulation and preservation of the second set, Children should How to ROTORS, {H.) to be taught to begin the use of the tooth-brush early (likewise the toothpick !

A Queer Way of Bullding Houses, There are in the world many queer ways of making houses, and one of the queerest is found in the city of Palem- bang, in Sumatra. The town extends for three or four miles on both sides of a rather wide river, and both shores are lined with houses. built upon piles which are driven into the bottom of the river, and outside of boo rafts, which are held by eables of the tide, and the doors open upon the water, so that they are reached by boats. The thresholds are not more than a foot from a boat into a house. anything there is for sale in this town without getting out of his boat. The never go anywhere on foot if they can reach the place in a boat. Ly the immense popular demand for that old- fashioned remedy. The Monkey and the Crab, A oareloss assistant to a fishmonger, it into his head while passing the mon- key's house in the Jardin a Plantes, Paris, the other day, that it would be amusing to give a crab to one of the monkeys which held out its “hand” through the wires of the eage, The animal, we are told, looked at itenriously, then raised it to his mouth. The ersb, hitherto inert, now recovered its self. ossession, and took hold of the mon.

At the coronation of Ladislaus, the eldest brother of Casimir, the primate having deman of the nobility whether they pope no that prince, one of the inferior replied that he did not. When he was asked what objection he had to Ladis- las he replied that he had none, except that he did not wish him to be king, and persisted in this for more than an hour, during which time he necessarily delayed the proclamation, At length he threw himself at the king's feet and said: “1 only desired to see whether my country was still free.
