Diamond experts have a curious way of looking at gems. II. N. Collier, who went to Brazil mid mined diamond, there in the early days of the diamond excitement, picks up a stone, focuses his eyes on it and if there aro any flaws or specks he generally sees tlicra. His description of the mad hunt for dia monds in Htszil when the fields were first discovered would ninke interesting reading. The careful way diamond diggers and workers are watched and the excitement produced when a big 'find'' is made have a dramitic interest to those who have once felt the fever of the diamond searcher.

Atlanta, Qa fir iilgy'H MAST FED rOIlK. There is a good nut crop in man; part oi the country this jear. In earl times when woods were more plentiful than now, many farmers let their pigs pick up much of their living in the woods, They became quite fat when frost loosened the burs of nuts. Pigs fed thus mado the sweetest and best pork. It needed some corn feeding to give required firmness to the fat. This made thu pork go farther for two reasons. It did not fry away so much in the pan and it was not so good to eat as the sweeter nut-fed pork. Boston Cultivator. SHOfLD HOf.S HAVE SAt.lt Salt lias often been called nature's vermifuge, and it is no doubt a fact, be cause long experience with domestic an imals has shown that all hcrbivora, when deprived of salt, will sooner or later suf fer from tho presence of intestinal worms. Swine are not an exception to tho general rule, and salt is just as nec essary for them as it is for cattle, as it not only destroys intestinal parasites, but aids digestion, and prevents intense acidity of the stomach. When bogs nre fed slops from the kitchen they get con siderable salt, but when fed exclusively upon grain, especially nt the time of fat tening, each animal should be given about one ouuee of salt daily, mixed with its food or the water given it to drink. If farmers would pay more attention to tho chemistry of the food given to their hogs, they might escape severe losses from such common diseases as cholera, catarrh and crysipcl. New York Sun. CI.F.ASIS3 A TOP BCOGY. A leather top of a buggy requires care ful and regular attention to keep it in good condition. It is much injured by the ammonia vapors of a stable, and therefore should be kept in a separate house or shod where it is not exposed to the weather. It should always be cleaned when brought ic from use, especially if it has been splashed with niud. This acts like a blister and takes the color from both cover and body. The cover is first washed with a rose nozzle and force pump, but not with a hard stream that will force the dust or sand in the leather. This will quickly spoil it. When tho dirt is washed off iu this way it is once more rinsed with clean water and then left to dry, or is softly wiped with a linen cloth or a chamois skin. It is then wiped softly with a soft sponge and castor oil. This is dono while the leather is damp. It will not crack, and will keep its color and gloss under this treatment. New York Times. BULBOUS FLOWKKS. Hero are instructions for growing bulbs indoors given by an English au thority in such matters: Bulbs grown in tho sitting or diniug room require only that a damp atmos phere should be kept about them, and light is not wanted until they are pro gressing freely. Tho bulbs, when potted, will do well in the bottom of a cupboard if set in damp moss or anything of that kind, aud n small portion of the same sprinkled over them, , In glasses the water should not be allowed to touch tho bulb, though very close to it, and rain or soft water should be used. When lodged in the glasses, the bulbs should bo put in somo cool place where light is ex cluded say a cupboard there to re main five or six weeks, aud when the roots nre well developed and the swelling bud and spike starting freely they may bo gradually inured to the full light. Tho water should not be changed, but filled up occasionally, and a small lump of charcoal kept at the bottom. From the time the doner begins to show, the more light aud air given tho bitter. INFLUENCE OP OATS AND BRAN ON WMt. It is quito well understood that the quantity of food consumod influences the yield of milk and that certain foods and grasses influence the color of butter. Numerous experiments exhibit results to prove that an increase of the same ration will increase a cow s milk yield, but not the quality of that yield. By a few it is believed that the quality of the milk can be changed very perceptibly by changing rations. Others maintain that the quality of milk depends solely, or al most so, on the individual animal, some giving rich milk, others a poorer article. At the Colorado Station experiments were made with four cows, for the pur pose of testing the comparative effects of wheat bran and oat chop (that is, ground oats) on the fat of milk. For the first period the ration morning, noon and evening was two pounds of oat chop and all the alfalfa hay they would eat aud all the water desired, but with no other food. For the second period clear wheat bran (containing no shorts) was substituted for the oat chop. From a study of the tabulation it ap pears that the quality of tho milk was quite perceptibly influenced by the change of food given these cows. In each case the wheat bran produced the best result in the production of fat in the milk ; there is also evidence extant that bran causes a better flow of milk than oats. While the cows gaiucd in weight on tho oat chop, each lost a few pounds on the bran ration. The diHereDCO iu cither case could havo been causod by the difference in witter drauU at a single time. New York World. TPEAT TI1E COWS KINDLY. Cows are uaturally of tho kindest dis position of any four legged animal upou the farm, aud they should be treated kindly aud uot abused by the milkers and drivers. The practice of sending a dog after them and allowing him to rush them into tbo milk yard, exhausted aud excited, is a practice that will cost each year from ten to tweuty-five pounds of butter for every cow milked. Drive the cows leisurely to and from the pasture. If you are inu hurry let the driver make double quick time whun be is going to end from the field not a ccarnpanied by tbe cows. The throwing of stones,sticks or other missiles should be forbidden, and the operation of milking should be done rapidly and with but little or no talking. Should thu cow make a miasinp or switch you ucplca.santly during fly-time don't speak so sharply as to startle her. In mny herdi there are oftcp one fjor more cows which only a cprlfm member of tht family can 'milk. This indicates verj plainly that some one is mild tempered and understands the cow's disposition! A box located at some accessible point should contain at nil times A supply of salt. If salt is fed in heroic doses once or twice each week, tho cows will then gorge themselves, causing derangement of the digestive organs. Milk should not be applied to the teats to reduce the power required in milking, for it does not, but most certainly adds filth to the milk obtained, and in cold weather the wet teat will become cracked and lore. All cows with a domineering nature and sharp horns should bo dehorned. Brass ferrules at the tips of the horns lossen the danger but do not prevent the pushing and bruising of other cows. American Agriculturist. FREDINO VALUE OF CORNSTALKS. The feeding value of cornstalks is a subject which receives an endless amount of discussion and upon which a great variety of opinions havo been expressed. The subject is well worthy of considera tion both on account of the immense quantity of cornstalks produced every year and also by reason of tbe great val ue which they may have to their owners. The principal reason for the grtat differ ence in opinion which farmers express in regard to tbe usefulness of tbe stalks for feeding is found tn tho fact that the real value of different lots of stalks varies fully as much as do the opinions of their owners. Some lots are clean and bright, and Contain a large amount of nourish ment in a palatable and easily digesti blo form. Other lots are so bleached nnd damaged by exposure to the sun and storms as to be unpalatable and innutri tious. There is as much difference in the value of these two gTades of stalks as there is botweeu hay that has been properly cured and stored and that which has been so long exposed to tho weather as to have lost its natural color and been deprived of nearly all of its nutritious qualities. The trouble with the cornstalks that cattle do not like, and from eating which they receive little or no benefit, is due to bad curing or too long exposure in the field. The smaller varieties usually have a larger proportion of valuable feeding material than the giant sorts, but the latter, if properly cared for, will furnish a good deal of food which cattle will like and upon which they will thrive. The man who husks his corn early and puts the stalks under cover, or in stacks which will turn the rain, will have some valua ble material with which to supplement his crops of hay and grain. American Dairyman. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Transplantiug two or three times helps in the formation of fibrous roots. In growing berries for market the best results aro secured with a rich soil. Generally in transplanting it is best to set the plants down to the first leaf. By keeping different kinds of stock the pastures will not become patohy. To keep a flock making a profit re quires careful selection and olose calling. Mulching nowly set trees during hot, dry weather often saves them from dying. Allowing them to grow too thick is one cause of failure in growing root crops. Are your stables so arranged that the Dorses could be rescued easily in case of fire J Clear the barnyard well of stones and sticks before you turn the horses out for romp. The real friend of the farmer is he that teaches him to be contented, industrious and frugal. A man. does not tako good care of a horse should not have the pleasure of owning one. If you can sell direct to the consumer you can put the middleman's profit iu your own pocket. Many farmers wear out fifty dollars' worth of horse flosh trying to save buy ing a ten dollar plow. Breed the best to the best and you can count on somcthlug for your trouble. Otherwise you take great risks. Sweet whey is worth seven cents per 100 pouuds as pig and calf food. This is seven cents moro than sour whey is worth. Corn fodder, put in shocks and left in the field during a good part of the fall and winter, loses from one-third to one half of its feeding value. Powdered chalk given In soft food is, in many cises, a good remedy for scours in hens. Give plenty of green food with oats on wheat and but little grain. Geese and turkeys require plenty of room, aud it will rarely pay to keep them unless they cm bo given a free range. Where there is plenty of pasture they thrive well. If you let those weeds in tho garden go to seed now, they will give you trouble axain next yecar. Cut them down, and if the seeds have begun to ripen, leave them. Geese live long, and for all practical purposes, the old one are as good, if not better than the young ones. So it is better to sell the youugcr ones, as they fetch better prices. There would be no abandoned farms if their owners had combined science with practice, and there will be more of them eveutually unless our larmers begin to do this more generally. You may make one definite step for ward in your dairy practice this winter, by firmly resolving to keep no cow that does not pay her board promptly, lake no promises to pay in the spring. The Pekin is a large breed of ducks, and can be raised on the farm with only water enough to quench tbeir thirst, Thev grow quickly to a large size, are hardy, and can readily be made profit able.

"It is strange," said an expert chef, not long ago, "that baking sheets are not more used in private fa nilies. They are much more convenient than the little cramped pans that are generally used for biscuit and cake. A baking sheet is properly ma lo of sheet-iron. It should be made to fit into the ovon, so that no space is lost, and couststs simply of a sheet of the metal without either wired border or welded corners. The edges of the sheet are turned up about half an Inch to assist in removing it from the oven. Cookies, ginger-snaps, round cakes of every sort, biscuits and loaves of bread are more easily and effectually cooked in this way than in any pan. Bakers always use these sheets for any dough which is not so soft as to run. They take the place of several pans and are much more easily washe J and taken care of than any regular pan with its sharp corners. Such a sheet fitted to sit ordinary oven will cost but seventy-five cents when made to ordor ot the very best quality of Russian sheet-iron." New York Tribune. KEcirss.

Hashed Potatoes Hashed potatoes are never more delicious than when potatoes are new. Take six cold boiled potatoes, mince them and season them with salt and pepper, adding a little milk or stock.

One of the roost interesting of the new psycho-pbysiological instruments is tha plethysmograph, which indicates the least flow of blood in the arteries of the arm. By means of it, observers have found that when the sentence of the judge is read before i criminal there is a decrease in the flow of blood in tbe arm, but that the sight of a glass of wine increases the flow. Again, when it is required to perform an arithmetical cal culation, to multiply, for example, nine times seventy-three, an increase in blood flow is the result. The flow is little affected in a brutal murderer or born criminal when a pistol is shown to him, whereas ui tha normal man tbe plethysmograph indicates a de cided effect. Thus involuntary Usti mooy is supplied as to tbe nervous and physical nature ot the born instead ot the accidental criminal. London Chroo ids. TEMPERANCE.

On the last occasion upon which it was mv nainful duty to inflict the penalty of death It was ui on a man who had murdered his mother while under the influence of drink. It was drink that was at the bottom of almost all the offences of violence that had been tried before me. At Liverpool Assise recently. out of i xty-three person for trial, thirty- six were for onrencea directly attributable to excessive drinking, Within the lat two months 1 had before me one hundred and eleven prisoners tor trial. It might not be generally known that the judges were sup plied with a record ot the antecedents of each prisoner. For my own part I never referred to this until after the conviction, During my visit to Crom I had examined this list, and, among the one hundred and eleven prisoners, I found there had been recorded one hundred and thirty-eight pre vious conviction lor drunkenness, Uius proving that drink had exercised a baneful influence in their degradation.
