FARM NOTES,
Hicu StrepriNG Horses, —The breed-
ing of these is much oftener recomimen-
ded at present in the agricultural
papers than formerly, True, the action
of such is more showy, aud on that
account is preferred by those ignorant
of its injurious effect upon the horse,
He has to lift his feet to an extra height,
whieh is tiresome, and prevents his ac-
complishing in such action as great a
distance per day on a journey as he
otherwise would if not obliged to raise
his feet so high, and this with considers
able less fatigue at the end of the day.
As the feet are replaced on the ground,
the impact of high steppers is much
more forcible than of others, and this is
particularly injurious to the feet and
legs. When traveling on a stony road
or a pavement I have seen horses made
so lame in a few months, or even weeks
of such work, that they had to be with-
drawn from use and turned out on soft
pasture for some time to recruit. Even
with this relaxation, they were unfit to
80 back to hard roads and had to be
employed for farm work or on mellow
ground ever after. Quite low stepping,
on the other hand, isto be avoided, as
the horse is likely to strike his foot
against any little rise of ground or ob-
struction on the rood and stumble badly,
often falling down in harness, and en- |
dangering those riding in the vehicle to |
which he is attached, to be upset and
perhaps fatally injured. A low stepper
travels more easily and is less fatigued
than those stepping higher. A medium
between the two is best and safest.
EXPERIMENTS WITH CABBAGE |
PLANTS.—I have come to the conclus-
ion this season that cabbage plants may
be set in the open ground to advantage,
much earlier than is customary. In the
Jatter part ot March, the ground being
in fine condition and pleasant weather |
prevailing: for some time, I took a few |
plants from a cold frame and set them
out. In a few days a hard freeze came,
the mercury going down to twenty-four |
degrees Fahrenheit, My plants shivered
and locked blue, but revived with
warmer weather and now are «
ahead of those set later from
frame. Possibly the later plants
uld have done quite as well, but
precedently dry weather, for the se

SMALL FRUITS IN GARDENS, — Small
fruits can Le conveniently grown in a
garden with but little loss of room.
Currants, raspberries and gooseberries
may be planted near the fence, out of
the way of the vegetables, and will
thrive better in such locations than any
where else. Strawberries may be grown
in close rows, and will give a tair yield
on a small space. A few grape vines |
can be allowed to trail along the fence, |
or on arbors, and even a few peach trees |
may be grewn, but it is better to have
no trees in the garden, as the trees will
largely appropriate the plant food and |
shade the plants from the warmth of |
ile
the sun,
Pusmrkiss should not be planted in
the corn rows until the corn has been |
thoroughly cultivated and the grass |
kept out. A pumpkin vine among the |
corn rows sometimes interferes with
thorough cultivation and harbors weeds,
It does not pay to grow pumpkins if |
done at the expense of injury to the |
corn crop. Pumpkins may be planted |
among the corn, however, and with |
profit, if the ground is kept clean and |
po weeds allowed to seed. i
i
Fries and other insects often cause |
the stock to loss flesh, even when the
best care is given. The small insects
may give more trouble than the larger,
being more numerous, Iorses should
be protected with nets whenever possi-
ble, and the pens and stalls should be
kept clean. The hog pen is a fruitful
source of insects, and should be well
littered with dry dirt to absorb all li
quids,
Tug prune, which belongs to the
plum family, will thrive on nearly all
sections, but if grown near plum trees
the fruit of both varieties will be in-
jured, as the prune and plum hybridize.
The trees bear when 2 years oll, and
give heavy crops when 4 years old.
I'hey should have the same cultivation
as Is given the peach. Tha fruit is free
stone, and of a bluish color.
A GAIN in one direction may some
times entail a loss in some other quar.
ter. The bountiful rains of this season
have given the crops an excellent oppor-
tunity, especially corn, but rains also
benefit weeds and increase the labor of
cultivation, The work is necessary and
should not be neglected, as it way entail
greater labor next season.
SCIENTIFIC,
Fully 99 persons in every 100, if asked
to name the most precious metals,
would mention gold as first, platinum
as second and siver as third, If asked
to name others, a few might add nickel,
and a very few aluminum, to the list.
Let us see how near tothe truth they
would be. Gold is worth about $240
per pound, troy; platinum, $130, and
silver about $12. Nickel would be
quoted at about G0 cents, and pure
aluminum $8 to $9 to the troy pound,
We will now compare these prices
with those of the rarer and less well
known of the metals. To take them In
alphabetical order, barium sells for $975
a pound, when it is sold at all, and
calcium is worth $1800 a pound. Ceri-
um is a shade higher—its cost is $160 an
ounce, or $1920 a pound.
These begin to look like fabulous
prices, but they do not reach the high-
est point; chromium brings $2000,
cobalt falls to about half the price of
silver, while didymium is the sama
price as cerium, and erbium $10 cheaper
on the ounce than calcium, or Just
$1688 per pound.
Glucinum is worth §250 per ounce;
indium, $158, iridium, $658 a pound;
lanthanium, $175, and lithium, $160
per ounce. Niobium costs $128 per
ounce, asmium, palladium, platinum,
potassum and rhodium bring respec-
tively $640, $400, $130, $32 and 3512
per pound. Strontium costs $123 an
ounce: taptaum, $144; telurium, $9;
thorium, $272; vanadium, $320; ytt-
rium, $144, and zuconium, $250 an
ounce,
Thus we see that the commonly re-
ceived opinion as to what are the most
precious metals is quite

Noox LuxcH.—Perhaps the

portion of the sickness in this country
is caused by the unpleasant habit of
eating too rapidly. It is interesting to
wateh the average citizen when he goes
into a restaurant for his dinner. He

any degree of fondness, but acts as

PREPARATION OF VEGETABLES.-
In hot weather we require a cooling and
laxative diet, one in which fruit and
vegetables are the chief constituents,
and surely nothing could be more whole.
some and palatable than fresh fruit, just
ripe, and fresh vegetables, just matured,
and properly prepared.
The excellence of vegetables hinges
partly on their being gathered in proper
time. This should be done if possible
in the cool of the morning, while the
morning dew is upon them. If you
cannot gather them at that time, your
next best time will be to gather them
in the cool of the evening and set them
by, in the ice-house or some other cool
place, till you need them for cooking
the next day. This plan has mueh to
recommend it, for it serves to lessen the
pressure and flurry of the morning’s
work.
The housekeeper hails with joy the
first green vegetables that come to raise
the siege of winter, turnip salad, lettuce
and asparagus, Turnip salad is quite a
palatable dish boiled with a piece of
home-cured bacon, and in just enough
water to keep it from sticking to the
pot. If allowed to float about in a pot
full of water it will be mean and taste-
less. Boil the bacon a couple of hours
before you add the salad. Lift it from
the pot with a perforated skimmer, so as
