THE FARM AM) GARDEN. rios a CLOVER. 'No! I never est pork; tho meat is not clean ! Hogs arc such filthy creatures, ymi know," remarked an old lady in New England, lomo years ago. "Ycsl l!ut out AVcit they keep their pigs in clover I They have preat pastures, covered with grass, and there tho hogs urow until autumn, when they nro fat tened on tho new corn, and this keeps them healthy." ,-(hl if they eat clover, their meat must be good." Now, this old lady could readily believe that clover must bo n valuable element in producing .sweet, wholesome pork. Hut the "West'' lias no patent on clover for swine. Every where its use. is perfectly free, and, wherever used, its good effect is quickly noticed. The American Afriottttiritt noticed, some years ago, tho case of a gentleman in Southliorough, Jlass., who sold afeiv pigs each fall to his neighbors, who had become acquainted with the excellence of his pork, and gradually in creased his guies each year, until his grass-fed pigs were in such demand that he had to buy many car-loads annually from farmers who raised the "pigs in clover'' as he did on his own farm. But it is not always practicable to en close large pastures or swine; so the next best thing is to adopt a system of soiling which will supply tho stock with green food in summer, and roots and clover-hay or silage in winter. Hogs can subsist for months under a hay-stack, with a very little grain. A ration of hay or dried grass, during the season when the past ures arc covered with snow, will be very acceptable, and greatly reduce the cost of wintering the herd. Clover-seed should be sown very early in spring, as the seci needs to bo well covered up before it will germinate. Tho spring rains wash the seed into the soil, and a "good catch" is reasonably certain; while, if the sowing is delayed until late, the crop is not half as sure. American AarkuHnritt. FODDER AND EXSII.AOK. The College of Agriculture of Cornell University has published au interesting articlo ou growing corn for fodder anil ensilage, giving tho results of its experi mental work in this direction. The fol lowing is a summary of the subject : First, we wish to emphatically repeat our recommendation of last year, that, in j L'lowiiif' corn for ensilage, rare should be i taken to select the largest variety that will fu'.lv mature before frost in the local- ; ity where grown. Special attention is called to the fact that heretofore it has been a common practice to sow or plant corn for fodder and ensilage, entirely too thick. Starch aud sugar arc not fully developed with out an abundance of sunlight. Immature plants are likely to coutain a very large per cent, of water. It will readily be seen that twentv-tive tons of ! green corn, containing nmety per cent, of water, gives but five thousaud pounds of dry matter; while twelve tons, contain ing seveuty-rive per cent, of water, givc3 six thousand pounds of dry matter. In the latter case we get a thousand pounds more dry matter, and have to handle and store less than half tho weight of gross material; while tho corn will still have sufficient moisture to give the resulting silage that succulence upon which its value for feeding, as compared with dry forage, largely depends. While tho percentage of nitrogen grows lea as the plant approaches ma turity, a much larger proportion of the nitrogen in the unripe material is iu the less valuable lorm of amides, tbau in the mature plant. So that the less percentage of nitrogen iu the riper product is com pensated for iu its increased nutritive value. So far all the experiments go to show that the effort should bo made to raise tho largest yield of grain irrespective of stalks, no matter what purpo.so it is in- j tended for. If one variety gives au equal I yield of grain and a greater amount of stalks and blade, then of course it should be preferred, for fodder and ensi lage purposes, to the variety that gives the less stalk and blade; but it will be found that as a rule tho larger the yield of grain, the larger will be the yield of stover. Finally, tho fact should not bo lost ightof, that wood and water alone, are not good food for animals, aud that they ure expensive products to handle. jYef York Obstrccr. WHY EKDS FAIL TO OllOW. There are many reasons why seeds fail to grow. One great cnusc of failure is immature seed. The great aim of the seed grower is quantity; to get the most from the plant, rather than the best. The first fruits are often permitted to ripen seeds for seed purposes, which should never be, as the first settings and ripen- mgs are usually impetfect. The same, is iruc ot the last ot tlic plaut s production; they aro weak iu vitality, aud the seeds produced w ill have a tendency to perpet uate that weakness. It is of the utmost importance that seeds should have at tained perfect maturity, aud should have been carefully and healthily preserved. Immature seed may, it is true, possess the power of germination, but it always le taius a disposition to disease and weak ness. Weakness perpetuates weakness, and unshapely forms anil poor qualities are transmitted. Good cultivation, under favorable circumstances, will in a great measure restore vitality, but it is a ques tion of time, accompanied by a degree of uncertainty that the fanner and gardener cannot afford, as there is a liability of failure, or partial failure of crop from this cause. The responsibility, in a great measure, rests up.mthe seed grower. Seeds, saved with the utmost care from carefully selected stocks, may lose their vitality if they aro not properly pre served. All seeds of vegetable" or Bowl-re should be kept perfectly dry, cool, aud iu an airy situation ; they aught to be carefully protected from dampness, and should be kept in a room that is not alternately moist or dry. An even temperature and humidity is essential to the seed's vitality. Carelessness in planting is one of the principal causes of failure. The soil should be carefully prepared before the seeds are sown; it should be worked deep, aud made tine, aud, when the seed is sown, the soil should be firmly pressed about them. This bus been practiced by the systematic, horticulturist)! for centur ies, and for this purpose the garden or farm-roller was employed, as much to break up the lumpy soil asf.ir any other object. The spado was used for packing the soil firmly about the seed. The mod ern plan, "the use ot the feet in sci d sowing," is ouu of the most ctbetive, practical and convenient methods, as the feet are always with the ganh ner und Ita ly for use when Uejuin-J, a fact that a-luiiU of HO excuse if tho work is neglected. Tho influences that act upon tho seed to cause growth are heat, air, and moisture, and without proportionate amount of each there can be no plant life. Now, it follows that when a seed is put into the ground, and loosely covered with light, dry soil, it does not como in contact with sufficient moisture to soften it coating, neither is' there sufficient heat, because of tho too great circulation of air around tho seed, to produco tho chemical changes upon which vegetable growth depends. When wo placo a seed into tho earth it com mences growth in two opposite directions, upward into tho atmosphere, and down ward into tho earth. The first root tho seed p.jts forth does not furnish tho young plant with food for its development; it simply holds the plant in placo until tho true roots, by which the plant is fed, are formed, after which it becomes a part of the plant itself. Tho cotyledons, or seed-leaves, contain tho food of tho in fant plant until its truo leaves and roots are formed. If tho soil is not firmly pressed around the main root, these feed ers will have nothing to feed upon; they must come in immediate contact with moisture, or tho warm, dry nir will destroy them, and tho whole plant will stand still until new roots aro formed, or, in tho meantime, perish. Herein lies the benefit of firmly pressing tho soil around the seed when planting. Deep planting is another frequent causo of failure. Take, for instance.sweet corn, and cover in planting from one-half inch to five inches in depth. The former will germinate, if the seed is good, with out a loss of five per cent., and the latter will not grow five per cent., and the ex act ratio between tho two will bo kept up. The cause for the difference is that the conditions ot growth arc not com plied with tho deficit being heat, which, at the season for corn-planting, cannot be furnished at so great a depth from tho surface. As a rule, not more than onc-qua'tcr of an inch of soil should be put over tho seed. Very 6ne seed should only bo covered from sight. Proper caro in seed-sowing, and the too common practice of burying seeds, is just the dif ference between success and failure in their germination and growth. Mechanical assistance, or the manner of placing the seeds in tho earth, is of I fTi-n.ifni tut iifiitinin tli.m ta nrnnr.illv ent posed, particularly those of the gourd family, or any large and flat seeds. It is economy to plant all vine-seeds edgewise. Lima beans should always be placed edge wise, germ down. The same is truo with I the seeds of the hybrid amaryllis. If sown ! flatwise, they will rarely make a plant; if I sown edgewise, rarely one will fail, un j der the same conditions of soil and tcm- perature. Any careful experimenter can easily explain how one man could com plain of the seed sown, whilo another would kindly praise the seedsman for seed from tho same stock, and will become convinced that, very often, seeds not growing is more due to poor sowing than to poor seeds. American Agriculturist. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. It pays to feed sheep, not ticks. Old hens invariably make the best si t ters. Prune trees early for growth and late for fruit. AU foods for plants must be soluble to be available. Give your fruit trees a good soil. They cannot feed and thrive on nothing. The farmer who makes his own pork and beef pays himself for so doing. Do your shortening back among your young trees before the buds begin to start. Prune a little at a time and avoid the necessity for heavy pruuing in the future. If you want your stock to do their best give them better shade than that made by of wire fence. Set out well tried varieties that thrive iu your section, but do not try too many varieties of fruit. It has been demonstrated that spirits of turpentine is one of the best remedies for roup in fowls. More attention ought to be paid to the teeth of our domestic animals. They often suffer from neglect. There are four hundred varieties of the bean family. No wonder the average in dividual '-doesn't know beans." Is it wise to neglect to repair the floors of tho stalls until after a valuable cow or horso has broken a leg? Mend yours to day. Don't breed for quantity but quality. Better have five birds good all over than than twenty-five good only in one or two sections. No better use can be made of the small potatoes than to cook them for tho hens; smashed warm and thicken with meal, snorts or bran, they make a good uiorn- iug meal. j It is invariably from the early spring pullets that we get the bulk of our eggs ! in winter, and the earlier the better. But be sure to have a suitable place in which to raise the early pullets. Ashes increase the quantity of the strawberry crop, and make it better colored and firmer. Well-rotted barn yard ruanuro makes a healthy growth of plants; superphosphates are also valuable. A fruit tree should never be popped up to keep tho limbs from breaking down with their load. Instead, pick off tho poorest specimens, and don't show greed by allowing the tree to overbear. Thou sands of trees are ruined this way. The Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station has reached the conclusion that while tho yield of orchard grass is less than that of timothy, its composition and digestibility indicate a better quality of hay for milch cows and growiug stock. Iu purchasing a swarm of bees, get one j early iu the spring, that is, au early swarm, in a good, iwo-siory uive wiiu movable frames. You must have a two story hive for storing surplus, and a hive without movable frames is no better than any box. Southern Men iu tho Union Ranks.

Bonnets continue to grow smaller, hats larger. Colored stones aro coming more into fashion. Masculine fashions aro raging among the women. Now we are having tartan surahs for summer Bilks. Full wreaths of flowers without foliage encircle many toques and turbans of vel vet. A velvet facing is used with summer roses and blackbird wings for trim ming. Veilings with black velvet dots arc worn to imitate tho "patches" of bygone times. The fishing dress is now an accepted fact in tho summer wardrobe of many women. Queen Victoria's stock of India shawls for wedding presents has become ex hausted. New tailor-made bodices of striped material have the darts taken in tho lin ing only. Married women wear tho smallest pos sible bonnets, young girls the largest hats they can find. Little pads arc used to support the top of fur sleeves made up of the softest woolen goods. Bonnets are stnnglcss, or they have mere strips for strings but strings, like veils, are optional. Tho tendency to showy flower-laden hats is so great as to tax tlie milliners to supply the demand. Black Leghorn hats trimmed with a wreath of buttercups or daisies are worn by the smallest girls. Velvet forms a part of many or most summer hats and bonnets, or it trims them, mingled with flowers. The latest New York caper is to array pet dogs in the choicest of floral blooms when taken out for au airing. Many open lacc-pattcrned woolens will be worn. They are very pretty, being wholly or partly transparent. All new jackets are longer than those of last year, and aro fitted more closely about the hips and in the back. Accordion plaited lace capes arc trimmed with bands of ribbon and have ribbon bows and shoulder straps. The University of Baslo is the only one in Switzerland which still refuses to admit women to its medical teaching. The newest "woven wind" tissue is of pale yellow silk, Bhot with gold, and takes the namo of "sunbeam gauze." Little girls wear accordion-plaited dresses, tho blouse aud sleeves, as well as the skirt, being made of the plaiting. The embroidered nainsook gown is as much in demand this summer as last for girl graduates and commencement wear. A plaiting of black lawn underneath the hem of the skirt, so that it cannot be seen, is a great protection to a walking dress. Of the more than 4000 students who have joined the volunteer movement for foreign missions about one-quarter are women. The money annually spent for cosme tics by the women of this country would paint 17,000 houses, allowing $75 for each house. Some American and many English mothers insist on short, veiy short skirts for all their daughters under fourteen years of age. Except for very young children, the Greenaway bonnets have given place to large poke hats of soft felt, heavy with ostrich plumes. Mrs. Langtry says: "A woman of the deadest white skin, with light blue eyes and palo blond hair, becomes a poem in a yellow gown." Tho Duchess of Albany, widow of the Queen's invalid son, took a regular course as hospital nurse, and has just received her diploma. In Denmark most of the girls are trained in agriculture, which is there an important industry. The owners ot farms receivo pupils who undergo a regular training. "Marion Harland," the author, is Mrs. Mary V. II. Terhunc in real life. She is the wife of a Brooklyn clergyman, and is a tall woman, with gracious manners and a dignified presence. Mrs. Mary J. Holmes is one of the most indefatigable travelers among women authors. She has recently com pleted a year's tour of the world and is now going to Alaska. The beauty spotted veil is a tremendous success. There are not more than three spots in a veil, which can be shifted round so as to locate the black disc of chenille on the chin, cheek or forehead. Little butterfly knots of bright rib bon are considered chic tied about the handles ot parasols, along the sleeves of mull and lace dresses, and perched on tho shoulders at the belt, and diagonally across the corsago of summer dresses. Women inventors appear very often on the Patent Office records, and one of them who succeeded in pushing through an improvement in an eye glass spriug is said to have made a very comfortable fortune by the crystallization of her ideas in practical form. The two principal prizes in landscapes given to the British Royal Academy stu dents have been taken by women, and a third female student cirried oS a prize of $250 for a decorative design in water color. The work of the male students was still very good. Mrs. Wanaiuaker has introduced a new fad in Washington, and has a class of young women meet at her residence twice a month, where a professor of physical grace from abroad teaches them how to walk, to go up and down stairs, to bow, to smile, to make eyes, and to dispose of the hands. Mme. Patti sleeps with a silk handker chief round her neck. She uses a very salty gargle of cool water every morniug. Mme. Albani-Gye says that drugs are useless. She gargles her throat with ice water every few hours and gets im mediate relief. For huskiuess sho uses gelatine drops. A wonderful pin to be stuck in an evening bodice is the fac-simile of a hand mirror. The glass part is formed of that very unusual atone, a flat diamond. It is framed in tiny diamonds, and the handle is of diamonds a little larger. Bo clear is the large one that forms the glass that one could, with perfect success, put a minature photograph under it, and it would be exactly as if a face were re SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL. Artificial ice can be manufactured, so it is said, at a retail cost, of about $8 per ton, or forty cents per 100 pounds. The experiment of treating typhoid fever by prolonged immersion of the patient in water has been tried with gratifying success. Tho importance of placing compressed air as a motive power within easy reach of the small manufacturer has boon recognized at Birmingham, England. The measurement of 2000 studcuts at Cambridge, England, showed that success in literary examinations is in no way con nected with stature, strength or breathing capacity. An Australian meteorologist claims to have proven that the moou has an influ ence on tho magnetic needle, varying with its phases, declination and distance from the earth. Tho basin of an extinct crater has been turned into a storage reservoir on Honey Sido Valley, Ncv. It is one and a half miles long by ono milo wide, and is fed by a canal that taps Susan Hiver. A horse can perform 3000 units of work that is, a horso can raiso 33,000 pounds one foot in one minute. An engino that can do the same amount of work is said to be a onc-horse-power engine. A new telephone has been brought out in Englnud which is said not to infringe upon any existing patent. It is of tho most simple construction, consisting of an clcctro-niagnet and celluloid diaphragm. Hirer water was substituted for spring water in ono of the quarters of Paris several times last summer. In every in stance,according to tho ficmaint Medicate, an increase of typhoid fever was ob served. An electric typewriter is being con structed which will write letters in New York as they aro transmitted from Bos ton, nnd vice versa, tho communications being transmitted simultaneously over four separate wires. Great progress is being made in rapid photography. Lord Hayleigh has pho tographed a minute jet of water in tho 100,000th of a second; nnd anew camera takes ten successive views a second on the turning of u crank. Dr. Weisman, a German biologist, is trying to show that artificial modifica tions of living forms can be transmitted from one generation to another. He has cut tho tails off some 900 white mice in the hope that they will breed a race of mice without tails. Sir James Crichton Browne says tho Scotch brain averages 50 ounces. the Eng lish 49 ounces, the Germau 48.3 ounces nnd the French 47.9 ounces. Sir James is a Scotchman, which accounts lor the position of that race at the head of the ccrcbelic processiou. The construction of the pillars and foundations of the great Forth bridge in Scotland consumed 21,000 tons of cement aud 707,000 cubic feet of granite. Tho total amount of resulting masonry is 117, 000 cubic yards. The weight of the steel in the bridge proper is 51,000 tons. It is said that in each ton of camphor wood brought to this country from Japan there is tweuty-five per cent, of camphor and seventy-five per cent, of waste. More over, one-half of the camphor evaporates during the sea voyage, leaving twelve and one-half per cent, of tho drug after re duction. This accounts for the high price of the article. There aro many very warm spots on the torrid zone, but Bohrin, by tho Gulf of Persia, seems to be, as far as tempera ture goes, absolutely without a rival. For forty consecutive days iu July aud Au gust last year, which was by no means an exceptional season, tho thermometer was known not to fall lower than 100 degrees Fahreuheit, night or day, and often ran up as high as VIS degrees in the after noou. A strong alkali at once applied to a snake bitu will decompose all the venom which it touches. So if both fangs of tho snake havo pierced the skin the two wounds should be made one w ith a sharp knife, and then filled with dry carbonate of ammonia. Frequent small dissolved doses of the same should be taken iu wardly, or fifty drops of aromatic spirits of ammonia taken hypodennically, for its peculiar effect upou the blood. A Female Pilot. A woman has been licensed as a pilot on the Ohio nnd Monongahela Rivers. She is the first one within the recollection of Captain Neeld, of tho Steamboat In spector's office, and his memory of River events covers many years. It is not un likely that she is tho pioneer of her sex in this branch of navigation in this di vision of the river trade. The woman is Mrs. Callio L. French, and her husband runs a circus, which he transports by water in a trim little steamer known as French's New Sensa tion. Tho circus is known by the same name. 1 lie license was issued to Mrs. French, and sho went ou duty under it at once. About nine years ago," said Mrs. French, "my husband hit upon the scheme of running a boat show; that is, giving exhibitions in towns along the river and using the boat for transporting the outfit and furnishing living quarters for our people. It is much cheaper, cleaner and pleasanter than traveling by rail, and we aro not obliged to remove our personal baggage. The first few years we employed a regularly licensed pilot, and my husband, who had a master's license, had charge of the boat. I then couceived the idea of learning to be a pilot and thus sive a big item of ex pense. So I did, aud for half a dozen years past I have held a pilot's license. I recently made application for a masters license also, at New Orleans, and I ex pect to get it." J'itUburg Commercial uiuette. A Wonderful Nut. The fruit of the coco-de-mcr, which General "Chinese" Gordon believed to be the forbidden fruit of the Gardeu of Eden, has been exported to Europe. The nut weighs twenty pounds and measures twenty-five inches across. The palm ou which it grows ('odoicea sechellurum) is 100 feet iu height, and is only to be found on the Seycbelle Islands. Iluudreds of years before the Seychelles were discov ered these nuts were washed up on the Maldive Islands, and the wiseacres of those days told the peoplo that this sea borne fruit had grown on a submarine tree, and that it had a mysterious power of counteracting poisons. Hence the name coco-de-mcr. It is probnble that Gorden met with allusions to this won derful nut iu Arabic MSS., and ufter ward visiting Seychelles was struck by the beautiful and isolated group of islands and their douMti wocouuut. Chicago Herald, Traffic la Dried Human Heads. There is an article of Ecuador'a com merce, which, though not reckoned in any market reports, is worthy of especial notice, viz., human heads, dried and pressed to about the sizo of your fist, each wearing tho most life-liko ex pression upon tho perfectly preserved features. Most of tho faces are clabor ntely tattooed, and all have long hair, the lips sewn together with fibres twisted into coarso twino hanging down over tho chin in heavy fringe liko that iu a mac ram's lambrequin. Centuries ago a tribe of Indians living near the northern bor der of Ecuador used to preserve tho crmihims of tho dead in this manner. Nobody now living knows how it was done, but it is supposed that tho bones were all drawn out bit by bit through tho ticck and then tho head was buried in tho hot, dry sand until it shrank away to One-fourth its former sizo and became perfectly preserved. As household adorn ments tho gruesome recuordes of dead folk are certainly not handsome, but they are very curious, especially sinco tho art of preparing them has long been lost and tho sewed-up lips toll no secrets. They used to bring about tf 16 apiece, but now command all the way from $100 to $500, nnd are very scarce at that. Years ago the Ecuadorian Government put a stop to this sale, as it was learned that sotuo modern Indians, instead of dealing ex clusively iu tho brain pans of their de funct ancestors, actually made a busini'sa of preparing fresh ones for tho mnrket. Siuce long-haired ones sold for the bight price, they took especial caro of the capillary adornments of their wives nnd daughters with a view to cutting tltoir heads olT, one by one. There is no doubt this traffic in dried heads cost many lives, for tho prico paid by museums and curio hunters was enough to set an Ecua dor Indian up in atliuence all the rest of his days, could he manage to judiciously market his superfluous children aud rela tives. Wafhington Star. A Financier's Polyglot Autobiography. Mr. Henry Villard, tho eminent finan cier, is writing his autobiography for the use of his children alone. He was born in Germany, aud tho story of his enrly years is written in German, while, having been educated in Franco, his school days aro described in French, aud his business and social lifo iu America will bo record ed in English. As his children speak French, Germau nnd Euglish with equal elcgauco nnd fluency, this polyglot method of book-making will doubtless ronimeud itself to them. Wathington Star. The Size of Royal Heads.
