Clxanisq Stubble- Land. The far
mer who has field which na grown
wheat, or barley, or oats this year, and
is not seeded down, and which is not
to be town with any crop nntil next
spring, has an opportunity of cleaning
his land, that should on no account be
neglected. The English farmers seldom
seed down their land with wheat. At
ter the wheat is harvested, they harrow
the land, or tear it to pieces with a three
or four-horse cultivator or "grabber.
This pulls ont the roots of quack-grass,
and start the seeds of other weeds.
The field is afterward plowed, when.
of coarse, all the young weed plants
are destroyed. The grubber is kept at
work as often as necessary to clean and
mellow the land. The next spring this
land is sown to turnips or mangels, or,
on heavy land, to beans or barley. It
is said that this autumn cleaning of
stnbble land by the free nse of the
grubber, especially when operated by
the all powerful steam engine, in one
of the greatest agricultural improve
ments ol the age.
What is true of English farming.
might be still more emphatically true
of American Agriculture. Our Au
tumns are longer, and drier, and hotter
than they are in England, and we have
a better opportunity to clean onr land,
while there is certainly a greater neces
sity. Onr fields are fearfully foul with
all kinds of weeds, and lA many lnstan
ces they are annually gaining stron-
ger foothold. Y e must fight, if we
would win. It will not do to go on in
the old. With our drying winds and
hot sun we ought to have the cleanest
farms in the world and sooner or later
such will be the case. We must kill
weeds by the wholesale. It will not do
to depend on the hoe and the fingers.
Nature is never at rest. It will not do
to let land lav idle. When it is not oc
cupied with growing crops, we should
be occupied in stirring the soil and kill
ing weeds. It is the great secret of
success in farming.
Raising Calves. The point we wish
to ask the attention of stock growers to
is, does the feed and treatment of a
calf have an influence on its future
character ? There are those who be
lieve that the milking qualities of a cow
are influenced by the manner of feed
ing the calf np to the time of coming in
milk, and our experience coincides with
this view. To illustrate our meaning,
we believe that a calf that sucks the
cow and is full fed, say kept fat for the
first three months or longer, or np to
the time of coming into milk, will not
be so likely to prove as good a milker
as though she had only been kept in
good growing condition ; and the rea
son is that this high condition does
not develop the milk-giving organs as
will good, fair keeping. This is illus
trated in cows who run to flesh in milk.
For this reason we prefer to raise calves
intended for milkers by teaching them
to drink from the pail, and do it mostly
on skimmed or sour milk. There is
philosophy in breeding for the dairy.
If that is what we desire, or if for the
shambles, lay on the fat, or so ieed as
to develop this propensity.
A Cheap Chicken Coop, Having
made a good discovery, I am desirous
of giving it to the people, and know of
no better method than by giving it to
you. Being engaged in raising chick
ens for profit, it was necessary to make
cheap coops to keep them in for a few
weeks. I take an old barrel and tack
every hoop on each side of a seam be
tween the staves with an inch-wrought
nail ; after clinching the nails, I saw
the hoops off on the seam. Then I
spread the barrel open, by cutting a
board about 20 inches long for the
bark of the coop, and two small pieces
to tack laths on for the front part. I
have the upper sections of the back
fastened with leather hinges, so that I
can open it at pleasure. Everybody
has old barrels which are almost value
less, and the trouble and expense of
making a coop of this description is so
small it is not worth mentioning, while
to buy the material and make a coop
of the same size, it would cost about
SI.
isovs, sons of farmers, who are now
receiving their education and whose fu
ture is to be employed in the noblest
of all occupations the tilling of the
soil shonld be pretty thoroughly edu
cated in botany. It is not only one of
the most pleasing and instructive of
all the branches of education, but it is
one of the most nseful, particularly to
a farmer, who will find daily and al
most hourly need of it He is con
stantly facing its representatives in
some form, to understand which is fre
quently of the utmost importance.

as much so as the plants composing the
leading cultivated crops. He is thus
brought face to face with well-known
acquaintance, be they friends or other
wise, and will give them such a recep
tion as they may respectively deserve.
fREssTCG herbs. The berbs put np
in small packages, after the manner of
the bhakers, are pressed into molds by
a very simple process. In a block of
hard wood there is made a square hole
t he size of the package desired. A pa
per folded and pasted (except at the
one end) around a square mold of ex
actly the size of the hole in the block
is placed in the receptacle in the block.
and is brought beneath a small lever
press which has a follower attached to
it which fits the inside of the folded
paper. The herbs are put into the pa
per and are pressed down by the lever
nntil a sufficient quantity is packed.
The end of the package is then folded
and pasted, and it is removed from the
mold. A very little ingenuity only is
needed to construct the machine, or it
may be purchased ready-made.
ABRESTrso Decay Is Potatoes.
Various plans for arresting decav in
potatoes after digging have from time
to time been made public, such as dust
ing with quick-lime, gypsum, charcoal
dust, etc. Prof. Church, of Cirences
ter, England, the eminent agricultural
chemist, announces that sulphate of
lime appears to exercise a very remark
able influence in arresting decay in po
tatoes affected by the potato disease.
In one experiment the salt was dusted
over some tubers, partially decayed
from this cause, as they were being
stowed away. Some months afterward
the potatoes were found to have suf
fered no further injury. A similar
trial with powdered lime proved to be
much less effective.
Feeding Apples. Sour apples are
said to be as good for hogs or cows as
sweet ones. It is not the sugar merely
that they contain, but the starch, mu
cilage, and other matters to say noth
ing of their hygienic effects, which
make them nseful food for animals.
They will not alone fatten but they will
assist in this process, and if fed with
caution may be profitable. When ripe
they may, as a matter of course, be
safely given in larger quantities than
when immature. If they are inconve
niently plentiful with yon just now they
may be buried beneath a foot of earth
and kept nntil Spring in good condi
tion. Ptmpeixs are excellent food for milch
cows in the falL They come too late in
the season to increase the quantity of
milk very much, but they will improve
it in richness, and the butter in flavor
and yield. They should not be fed to
lavishly, especially at first. Fifty
pounds of ripe pumpkins per day, in
two feeds, would be economically used.
Scientific.
Tua Benefits of Decay. The world
would soon be very badly cluttered np
if fruits and grains and roots and trees
and leaves should all remain, like so
many stones, nndecayed, on its surface.
What heaps of apples would be piled
np in some orchards ! and where could
be found room for the weeds and other
debris of the gardens T There is cer
tainly, at least in the warmer zones,
a much greater amount of vegetable
matter produced than is eaten, either
by man or the lower animals, and it
would be rather difficult for us to
imagine the state of things that would
ensue if this should remain year after
year without decay. If trees did not
bury themselves to their branches in
their own leaves, there would yet be a
complete blockade of these productions
in some places. The ultimate and most
serious result of all this would be the
cessation of further growths on account
of the exhanstion of the soil. In many
respects, then, does this one provision
for the decay of vegetation meet the
wants of both the animal and the vege
table world. Fruits and vegetables
grow, arrive at edible perfection, re
main some time in that condition, and
then, if they are not eaten, they more
or less gradually return to the earth
from which they came, to enrich the
soil for still another growth, fresh and
sweet and abundant. So we may fairly
conclude, that in spite of the. fact that
onr favorite fruits and vegetables de
cay quickly, the entire plan is wisely
ordered for our comfort, convenience,
and even economy.
Disttlliko Sea Water. The author
of a book lately published in England,
entitled "Two Years in Peru," thus
describes a simple contrivance recently
devised by an English resident of that
country for procuring fresh water from
sea water through the direct action of
the sun's rays :
"Ihe apparatus consists of a box of
pine wood, 1 inch thick, and which is
about 14 feet long, 2 feet wide, and an
average depth of 6 inches. The upper
part of this box is closed with ordinary
glass, which has an inclination of 1
inches.
At the lower edge of the glass, there
is a semi-circular channel, destined to
receive the fresh water which is con
densed on the interior surface of the
glass. The salt water is let into the
box to about 1 inch in depth. It is
then exposed to the rays of the snn,
the heat of which is sufficient to raise
it to 160 or 180 J Fah. A very active
evaporation then begins, and it is
proved that 101 square feer of glass will
condense daily two gallons of pure
water.
The author says he saw the apparatus
in successful operation at Callao. There
are many places on the coast of Peru,
as in various other parts of the world.
where fresh water is only to be got by
distillation, and in such localities the
device cannot fail to be exceedingly
useful.
The Telegraph between Great
Buitai.v and Ireland. Telegraphic
communication with Ireland is main
tained by means of four submarine
cables, submerged between different
points in Great Britain and the Irish
coast. These cables contain in all
twenty-two separate wires.
uneot the largest cables that between
riolvhead and Dublin has been laid
since the post office acquired the con
trol of the telegraphs, and all of them
nave been under repair during the same
period. 1 be rocky nature of the bot
tom along the Angle-sea coast has, it
appears, seriously affected the condi
tion of the Holyhead and Dublin line,
the newest of all the Irish cables ; in
many places the outer iron wires which
form the chief protection of the core
have been completely chafed through
from constant friction. Quite a new
feature has also developed itself in con
nection with this fault, namely, the
eating away, by a kind of worm, of the
gutta percha covering of the core, in
mnch the same way as wood is bored
and eaten away by these destructive
insects. The post office can hardly be
congratulated on the possession of these
lines to Ireland, as they have been a
constant source of trouble and expense
ever since the transfer of the telegraphic
system to the government. LonJom

I HE JjOfKE A BCBHTlTtTK FOB THE
Compass. The Great Dismal Swamp is
partly in .North Carolina and partly in
Virginia. It is 40 miles long and 13 to
20 miles wide. Professor Webster, at
the late meeting of the American Asso
ciation, told the story of a party that
divided in the swamp, one portion of
the body having no compass. The
latter portion of the party was lost, and
after long wandering fonnd their way
out by a singular expediment. They
made nse of the insect for which fine
tooth combs were invented. Putting
the insect on a flat piece of wood, and
leaving it to its own devices, it invari
ably began to move in a certain direc
tion. This direction was followed out
by the party, and they were thus led
out to the northward. It is supposed
that this instinctive movement of the
insect is due to its seeking the wav
toward the greatest light.
The white of an egg has proved the
most efficacious remedy for burns.
Seven or eight successive applications
of this substance soothe the pain and
effectually exclude the burn from the
air. This simple remedy seems prefer
able to collodion or even cotton. Ex
traordinary stories are told of the heal
ing properties of a new oil which is
made from the yolk of hen's eggs. The
eggs are first boiled hard, the yolks are
then removed, crashed and placed over
a fire, where they are carefully stirred
until the whole substance is just on the
point of catching fire, when the oil
separates and may be poured off. It is
in general nse among the colonists of
Southern Russia as a means of curing
cuts, bruises and scratches.
Another Substitute for Steam. An
invention is now on exhibition in Liver
pool by which oil or glycerine is made
to perform the functions of steam, by
the same means application of heat
which expands the oil placed in small
cylinders, from which it is claimed a
pressure of 10,000 pounds per square
inch may be obtained without the
dangers of steam explosion, which pre
vent using a pressure of more than 200
pounds to the square inch generally.
In this case an explosion would only
crack the cylinder containing the oil. it
is claimed. The application of this
process has been made to a printing
press, and a punching and riveting
machine which are on exhibition.
PnuFYiso Water. It is- not gene
rally known that pounded alnm pos
sesses the property of purifying water.
A tablespoonfu of pulverized alum
sprinkled into a hogshead of water (the
water stirred at the time) will after the
lapse of a few hours, by precipitating
to the bottom the impure particles, so
purify it that it will be found to pos
sess all the freshness and clearness of
the finest spring water. A pailful
containing four gallons may be purified
by a single teaspoonfuL
Bamboo Poison. The bamboo, gene
rally supposed to be one of the most
inoffensive of vegetables, is said to eon-
tain a poison which the natives of Java
use against their natives. It is ob
tained by cutting the bamboo at
joint, and detaching from the saucer
shaped cavity some small black fila
ments covered with almost imperceptible
needles. The filaments constitute the
venom, against whioh no remedy has
been fonnd to act

II eat Jellies roB Pies and Sauces.
A very fine meat jelly is easily made
by stewing slowly down equal parts of
shin of beef and knuckle or neck of a
veaL with a pint of cold water to each
pound of meat ; but to give it a flavor
some thick slices of lean, unboiled bam
shonld be added to it, two or three
carrots, spice, a bunch of parsley, a
mild onion, and a moderate quantity of
salt, or part of the meat may be omitted,
and a calf head very advantageously
substituted for it, though the flavoring
must then be heightened, because,
though very gelatinous, these are in
themselves exceedingly insipid. If
rapidly boiled the jelly will not be clear,
and it will be difficult to render it so
without clarifying it with the whites of
eggs, which it ought never to require
if very gently stewed ; on the contrary,
it will only need to be passed through
a fine sieve, or cloth. The fat must be
carefully removed after it is quite cold.
The shin of beef should be from the
middle of the leg of a yonng heifer, not
that which is large and coarse.
Venttlatino Rooms. The question
of ventilation depends upon very many
contingencies which must all be taken
into account Cast iron pipes and fur
naces are injurious, because when red
hot carbonio acid gas passes freely
through their sides. Generally, venti
lation must be from above and below
at the same time, because there cannot
be a free flow of air outward without
a free flow inward. A good plan is to
admit a current of cold air at the top of
the room by one pipe and emit the
heated air by another pipe. The cold
air in its descent to the floor becomes
warmed by contact with the upward
current, and the heat of the room is
equalized. To escape drafts the air
should be admitted through a pipe
pierced with small holes passing around
the cornice of the ceiling. In this way
a multitude of small currents are ob
tained, whioh are soon lost in the at
mosphere of the room and sink down
imperceptibly. Thus the whole body
of air is cooled slowly but steadily and
equally.
Oranoes Filled with Jelly. This is
a fanciful dish which makes a pretty
appearance on a supper table. Take
some very fine oranges and with the
point of a small knife cut from the top
of each a round hole abont the size of a
silver quarter; then, with the small
and of a tea or egg-spoon, empty them
entirely, taking great care not to break
the rinds, throw these into cold water
and make jelly of the juice, which must
be well pressed from the pulp and
strained as clear as possible. Color
one-half a fine rose color with prepared
cochineal and leave the other very pale;
when it is nearly ready, drain and wipe
the orange rinds and fill them ith
alternate stripes of the two jellies ;
when perfectly cold, cut them in
quarters and dispose of them tastefully
in a dish with a few light branches of
myrtle between them. Calf's foot or
any other variety of jelly or blanc
manges, may be used at choice to fill the
rinds. The colors shonld contrast as
much as possible.
How bo Keep Furs. A housekeeper
writes : I wonld say in reply to the
question "How shall I keep furs ?"
that I purchased a set of one of the
leading fur honses of Chicago three
years ago and made that inquiry there
and was told that they always sealed
theirs np before the first of May (that
being the month in which the moth
miller commits its depredations.) Put
