Agricultural. Sclphub Fob Fowls. There is no remedy and assistant so easily and cheaply obtainxl, so harmless to the fowls, or so satisfactory in its results as sulphur. It being in the system of animals to a small degree, there is a greater affinity for it than there other wise would be. it can De administered to the fowls by having it in a small box, so that they can help themselves, or by mixing it with their food once a week, or as often as there are indications of vermin. Penetrating, as it does, to every part of the system, all parasites are quickly and surely destroyed. Also gapes are said to oe prtveuieu 111 cuic-a-ens Fowls need it more than most ani mals, their feathers containing between four and five per cent, of sulphur. Their eggs also, have a small quantity, which is noticed by the discoloring of a silver spoon when it comes in contact with a boiled egg. Applied externally to the fowls when on the nest, to tke nest itself, or mixed with the soil in the dusting box, it is equally efficacious in destroying vermin. To be nsed as a fumigator of buildings, it is ntcessary to remove the fowls, close the room or house, mix a little saltpetre with the sulphur in an iron vessel, and apply a match to the mixture. This should be done in the morning, and the doors and windows opened in the afternoon for a thorough ventilation. Lard mixed with sulphur in proper proportions and applied as often as necessary to the feathers on the neck and back of young and old turkeys, is a very good safe guard against the ravages of foxes. For onr own profits and the comfort of the fowls, let us then use sulphur or remedies of a like nature. Destuotixg Xhe Bake Louse. There are several species of bark lice, all more or less injurious to plants npon which they live, and some are rather difficult to destroy. The particular species in festing tne apple tree (Atidiotn con chijormi can usually be destroyed by thoroughly washing the bark with a potash lye. The "scale bug" which in fests the orange tree (oocu cilri) is very similar in its habits to the apple bark-louse, bnt is more difficult to kilL A vigorous nse of soapsuds seems to be ouly a transient remedy The applica tion of alcohol is also transient in its results. Lately this insect has made its appearance in the orance orchards in Los Angeles Valley, Cdifornia, in juring the quality of the fruit to some extent, and threatening to destroy the trees. Snie of the leading oraugecul turists iu that locality hve leen exper imenting on the effects of the various remedies that have been from time to time snggested, and, according to a cirJ winch they liave published in the Los Angeles jli rald, have succeeded iu finding a sure remedy. The princi pal ingredient in the remedy used is carbonic acid gas, and it is applied by the use of an ordinary portable "fire extinguisher," The strength of an or dinary charge is simply reduced, and it is applied directly to the trees. The inventor lays no claim to any patent, and the Californiaussay that any of the common patent extinguishers can be successfully used. RnjirEiuc Acid And Wkfiis. A cor resjoi)dent of the Journal of Jlortieu' lurr (Euglish) writes : "fake an old blacking txttle, with a wire around it to mold it by, and a stick to dip with. The stick should not be pointed, but should be notched ronnd for an inch or two at the end, the lietter to hold the liquid. Just one drop in the heart is sufficient to cause death, and the notched stick will contain at one dip euongh to destroy three or four plants. If the acid is good, the work of death can be both seen and heard, for the vit riol hisses, and it burns up the plan taiu in a moment. A row of plantains a foot wide sprang up on a lawn here, where an iron fence formerly ran. The owner seeing at a place he visited the good effect of vitrol, put the hint iuto practice. The plantains were killed in in an hour, and have never appeared again. It is three years ago, and it is impossible to recognize the line of the fence ; it completely burnt tho roots out. I have tried it on large dandelions with the same result. One of the young gentlemen here amused himself by hunting out the longest thistle he could find to experiment on ; the vit riol completely killed them by eating the roots up. One drop will do. Care is required that it does not touch the skin, or clothes. It is not safe in the hands of children, but a man or woman with ten minutes' practice can kill plan tains much more quickly than any lad can eat gooseberries. Ayrshire Cattxe. The Ayrshire is a fixed and established breed which has j been frequently imported into thi6 country, aud has exerted a marked in fluence upon the stock of onr dairy ; farms. The Ayrshire makes a good cross with the common stock of the country and with the short horns ; but a cross with the Alderney is not to be recommended on account of size. The form and structure of the cow, from the muzzle to the tail, indicate that she possesses qualities which adapt her, in an eminent degree, to the purposes of the dairy. Iler head is small, with a long and narrow muzzle ; her eyes, sparklingly and lively, her horns usually small, clear and crooked, and set well apart at the roots. Her neck is long and slender, small towards the head, and free from the dewlaps. Her shoulders are thin, her forequar ters light, and her hindquarters large and well developed, giving her often a sort of wedge-shape appearance, which is universally regarded among dairy men as sign of a great milker. The Ayrshires have been bred chiefly for milk, and will probably yield a greater quantity for the food cousnmed t han any otLer breed. There is no race that can equal the Ayrshires in quan tity of milk ; it being generally estima mated at from 30 to 50 pounds per day. Wood Ashes as a Fertilizer. Every farmer knows the Value of wood ashes as a fertilizer, and it is generally sup posed that it is owing to the potash they contain. But the fertilizing prop erties alone, for if all the potash is leached out of the ashes, it is still a good fertilizer, bnt not as good as be fore leaching. What then remains in the ashes after the potash is extracted ? Nine out of the ten minerals that all plants take from the ground, and re quire for their support, viz : Soda, manganese phosphorns, lime. Leach ed wood ashes, therefore, simply re qnire a supply of nitrogen (ammonia), aud the potash extracted rei timed to them again to make it one of the very best of concentrated lime. Apples are excellent food for horses, and indeed for any kind of live stock that will eat them. The windfalls, such as are not useful for cider, should certainly be promptly gathered and fed to stock. For swine 'they are better cooked ; but horses will eat and thrive nniin them fed as thev com from un der the trees. If the thousands of j bushels of windfalls could have been fed to stock, it would have perceptibly reduced the revages of the coddlirg j moth in the orchards next year, x ti sistent effort in this direction year af ter year would surely result in better and fairer fruit and in healthier stock. 'Guess your eyes are bad, replied a Green Bay traveler when told that his collar waa soiled ; "why, bless you, mister, I haven't worn that collar but two weeks." Scientific. Vibrations of Liquid Surfaces. Baithelemy has subjected to investiga tion the undulations which are pro duced npon liquid surfaces when these are thrown into vibrauon. xhe best results were obtained when the vessel of liquid was placed upon the resonant case of a tuning fork. Similar results were also obtained npon the sounding board of a piano. In this way the sur face of the liquid assumed a fixed con dition of elevation and depression, the result of uniform, vibration over its entire area. Rectangular vessels give two sets of brilliant lines parallel to each side, formed by the ridges of the waves. Between these are less luminous lines produced by the hollows. Bright points are formed at the intersections of both. As the movement dies away, the lines parallel to the shorter sides disappear first, leaving those parallel to the longer ; though sometimes com ponents of both are left, forming zig zags diagonally across the surface. From his experiments Bartbelemy de duces the following laws : 1st, the breadth of the nndulations is inversely as the number of vibrations ; and 2 J, the distance between two lines pro duced by the same fork is independent of the density of the liquid. The figures given by circular masses of liquid con sist of equidistant circular lines inter sected by radii equally equidistant, thus giving trapezoidal forms with curvilinear bases. If the fork touches the vessel, a cross of no vibration appears, corresponding to the nodal lines of this vessel. As the vibration ceases, two opposite sectors disappear and the two alternate ones remain. By placing sand on the surface of the mercury and then covering it with water, circular lines are formed and also the cross of no vibration, the sand gathering in heaps at the vibrating parts. Triangular vessels give lines perpendicular to the sides, forming brilliant hexagons, the centres of which are the angles of fainter hexagons, having the radii of the first set for sides. As the motion lessens, only one set of lines persists, and the surface is covered with rectilinear waves perpen dicular to one of the bases. Elliptical vessels give figures of exceeding beauty the lines having reference to the two axes of the ellipse. The author calls attention to the general character of these wave surfaces. In the basin of a fountain, in the waves of the sea, these forms are recognized. Even in the sand on the sea bottom they can lie traced. Certain lines thus made gave on measurement 2 0 vibrations per second. Ther may le seen 300 feet from the leach and and at a depth of i.t or M feet, bo, out of the water, the sand on the beach was found to have taken these forms, thus suggesting that the air itself was capable of similar vibration. So also clouds are arranged often in parallel bauds, being then con sidered a precursor of Cue weather. Even iu geology, the author thinks certain regular aud eqnidistaut fold ings of stratihed rocks evidence of analogous vibrations. TLe ventral segments of a liqnid vein, M. Barthe- leuiy thinks, are prod need by the vibra tion of the liqnid mass npon which it fulls reacting upon it. And be makes an ingenious application of these facts to account for the phenomena of strati fication produced by eleciric discharges in rarefied media. Invisible Ink. If we write with a very dilute solution of chloride of copper, which has scarcely more color than pure water, the characters are invisible ; but if gently heated, they become distinctly ye. low, and are easily read. Let the paper cool, and they vanish ; and they may be mode to appear and disappear an indefinite number of times. If heated too strongly, the comtionnd is decomposed and the writing becomes ermanently browu from the deposition of the cop ier. The chloride of copper may be conveniently made by mixing solutions of amnionic chloride (sal ammoniac) and of enpric sulphate (bine vitriol). The change of color in this and kindred cases is due to the removal of the water of crystalization by the heat. In chemical combination with the water, the salt is transparent ; without the water, it is opaque. The salt, being very deliquescent, rapidly absorbs moisture from the air when cool. As Amusixo Chemical Experiment. Place five glasses in a row, then pour into the first solution of potassium, the second a solution of corrosive sublimate, the third a small quantity of iodide of potassium and some oxalate of ammonium, the fourth a solution of chloride of calcium, and the fifth some sulphide of ammonium. Now pour part of the contents of the first glass into the second, and a scarlet color will be obtained ; next pour the second into the third, and the mixture will be colorless ; again, pour the third into the fourth, and the contents will be white ; finally, pour the fourth into the fifth, and the mass will be a dense black. Then you will have had two glasses colorless, one scarlet, one white and oue black. Scientific American. CAKnrxci.E Treated bt Carbolic Acid. A physician writes, in the Lon don jMitc'it, that he has found the action of carbolio acid in carbuncle constantly beneficial. lie uses one part of acid to four or five of oil or glycerine. He thinks the eflieacv of the solution is limited almost abso lutely to those parts with which it could be brought into actual contact ; and, although it appears occasionally to have produced injurious effects when used in large quantity, he has kept a large slonguing and granulating surface for days together, constantly covered by the car olized oil without any harm arising, although the urine soon pre sented the peculiar blackish color which lois been several times observed during its employment. Actios op Oil. Timber free from oil, as oak or maple, when soaked in kerosene aud saturated in part with it, thenceforth liecomes somewhat of the nature of the resinous woods, which are very durable. Its action npon leather is not so favorable. As it rapidly evaporates, it "dries up" the leather and causes it to crack. Then water or moisture is admitted aud the leather is injured. The non-drying animal oils are. the best preservatives of leather. LnnxorB Apparitions on False Lumps. These are not due, as was long supposed, to the products of ani mal or vegetable decomposition, but are caused by insects which possess organs that Income luminous at the time of their sexual congress. It is now well known that the phosphores cence of the sea is due to the presence of immense numbers of microscopic animals. J-ivrnut of the Vhrmical Society. Amono the recent patent novelties is a method of mending cracked church bells, so as perfectly to restore their tone. It is done by introducing a fur nace within the bell, to warm up and fuse the edges of the crack, at the same time pouring in new metal enough to fill out the crack, the sides of the bell being covered with plates to prevent escape of molten metal. Prof. Silvesthe reports that a trans versal fissure about a mile long has appeared on the northern side of Mount Etna. Twenty fresh craters situated npon one long line have been thrown np.

Place her among flowers, footer her as a tender plant. and she is a thing of fancy, wayward ness and folly annoyed by a dewdrop. fretted by the touch of a butterfly's wing and ready to faint at the sound of a beetle ; aud she is overpowered by the perfume of a rosebud. But let a real calamity eome.rouse aer aneciions, enkindle the fires of her heart, and mark her then how her heart strengthens itself bow strong is her heart : place her in the heat of the battle give her a child, a bird any thing to protect and see her in a relative instance, lift ing her white arms as a shield, as her own blood crimsons the upturned fore- bead, praying lor life to protect tne helpless. Transplant her in the dark places of earth, call forth her energies to action, and her breath becomes a healing, her presence a blesig. She disputes inoh by inch the stride of stalking pestilence, when man, the strong and brave, pale and affrighted, shrinks away. Misfortune haunts her not ; she wears away a life of silent en durance, and goes forward with less timidity than to her bridal In prosperity she is a bud full of odors, waiting but for the winds of adversity to scatter them abroad pure gold, valu able but untried in the furnace. In short, woman is a miracle a mystery, the center from which radiates the great charm of existence. . Tkllow Pickles. Get the hardest heads of cabbage you can find, and cut them into quarters. Put them in a kettle, and sprinkle over them a utile salt ; set them on the fire, and let them simmer till tender. Then take them ort of the water, and let tbem stand until the next day. Take as much vinegar as will cover tbem, one table spoonful of turmeric, and scald them. Let them stand in it a day ; then take them out, and let them drain. Now put them in a stone jar, and pour boil ing vinegar over them, with spices to your taste, mustard and celery-seed, with a few chopped onions, lou should be careful not to cook the cabbages too much, or they will come to pieces. The advantage of making cabbage pickles by this recipe is that the old-fashioned tedious process is avoided and yet the result is found equally satisfactory. Let it not be omitted to add three pounds of sugar, brown or white, to one peck of pickle. Influence of Food. An excellent hint is given in the following item : Dr. Ilall relates the case of a man who was cured of his biliousness by going without his supper and drinking freely of lemonade. Every morning, says the doctor.this patient arose with a wonder ful senae of rest and refreshment, and feeling as though the blood had been literally washed, cleansed, and cooled by the lemonade and fast. His theory is that food can be used as a remedy for many diseases successfully. As an example, be cures spitting of blood by the nse of salt; epilepsy, by water melon : kidney auectiouH, by celery : poison, by olive or sweet oil ; erysipilas, by pounded cranlerries applied to the part affected ; hydrophobia, by onions. etc. So the way to keep in good health is really to know what to eat. To Make good Coffee. The first thing is, to have good green coffee. The second is, to have it well roasted, not burnt. This should be done slowly, being constantly stirred, till it is a toleiable deep brown, and till you can by hard pressure crush the grain between the thumb and finger. Don't grind too line, put plenty in the pot, and you can make good coffee in any of the varions ways it is made, thongh we prefer the "Old Dominion," pot to any we have ever seen or used. Dripping is preferred by many good coffee makers. You cannot make a little good coffi-e in a very large pot ; the pot should be well filled to have it good. Coffee cannot be made fit to drink when the grain is burnt. It will make char coal soup, but not coffee. Domestic Hints. Eat slowly and yon will not over-eat. Keeping the feet warm will prevent headaches. Late at breakfast hurried for dinner cross for tea. Between husband and wife little at tentions beget mnch love. Always lay your table neatly, whether you have company or not. Put your balls or reels of cotton in little bags, leaving the ends out. hatever vou choose to give away always be sure to keep your temper. Dirty windows speak to the passer by of the negligence of the inmates. Arrowroot jELLy. This is a very soothing and nourishing diet for in valids, particularly when the stomach is weak from sickness. With cold wa ter make a teaspoonful of arrowroot iuto a smooth jelly, and add rather more than half a pint of boiling water ; then pour into a saucepan and boil for one minute ; add a tablespoonful of good brandy, a grating of nutmeg, and sugar to taste. When a little stronger diet of the same kind can be well di gested, nse milk instead of water, and the yolk of an egg : add also a pinch of salt. Pais Ferdc. Break five fresh eggs into a basin, beat them well, and add by degrees two tablespoonfuls of orange-ilower water, three ditto of pale brandy, sugar to taste, and a little grated lemon-rind, and mix all thor oughly well together. Cut some slices of bread about the thickness of half an inch, and cnt them with a cutter into whatever form you choose. Steep them for half an hour in the batter, and then fry tbem in a deep pan full of boiling lard till they are of a good color. Drain them, and dust with powdered sng.ir. Bean Soup is a dish that nri.-y rwo pie, and especially children, would relish if properly made. It requires about half a pint of cooked leans for a quart of soup. Mash and boil until well diffused in the water, and then run through a cullender to take out the skins. Thicken with about a gill of wheat meal and add a sprig of thyme if desired. Boil five minutes and salt to the taste. The wheat makes it mnch richer than a thickening of fine flour. To Cure Ingrowing Toe Nails. Put a small piece of tallow in a spoon, heat, it nntil it becomes very hot, and pour on the gisnulations. The effect is magical. Pain and tenderness is re lieved at once, and in a few days granu lations are all gone, the diseased parts dry and destitnte of all feeling, the edge of the natl exposed so as to admit of being pared a -ray without any incon venience. Plain Cheesecakes. Turn three quarts of milk to curd, break it, and drain the whey ; when dry, break it in a pan, with two ounces of butter, till perfectly smooth ; put to it a pint and a half of thin cream or good milk, and add sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and three ounces of currants. Put a light puff paste in the patty-pans, and three parts nil them. lo Make Cabinet-Maker s and Turner's Cement. Take 1 oz., bees wax, 1 oz. resin. I oz. pitch. When these are melted, stir in very fine brick- dust, this is a strong cemeat. Baked Egos. Beat np six eggs, one tablespoonful of flour, six of sweet milk ; melt your butter in the frying pan ; when hot, turn the whole in well beaten, and bake in a hot oven. Chloroform will remove paint from a garment or elsewhere, when benzole or bisulphide of carbon fails. IIumnronH. "Com Hons ; the I.ajts ask Burn ing." One Sunday mou ing a family living in the suburbs of t: e city went to a suburban church, lea -rig a little girl about seven years of ag and a boy about twelve years of age in r'iarge of the house. The church was situated but a short distance from the house. The family were to have beans for dinner, and these were leit in a vessel on the stove to cook. Ihe little gin. while playing, suddenly began to smell the odor of burnt beans, npon which she rushed out of the house over into the church where the pastor was gravely and earnestly preaching the profound word of God. The first per son of the family the little girl espied was a young lady cousin, and to her, in a loud voice, which startled the assem blage considerably, she cried, "Come borne, come home, tne beans are burn ing," and immediately rushed out again. The.. astonishment waa great, and all the solemnity of the preacher, as well as of the congregation, disap peared beneath a broad smile at the ridiculousness of the matter. There are some women who will do anything for their husbands, lending a helping hand on all occasions where their assistance is needed. A man in Kensington attempted to commit sui cide by drowning in six inches of water, but he soon found it impossible to keep his head under long enough to strangle. What did his wife do in this dilemma? Did she leave him to suffer? Not much. Like a true and noble what do yon call it ? she just w!ed in and sat down on his head, and made it stay by sheer force of muscle. That's the kind of a wife to have if you want to die. A colleoe professor encouraged his geology class to collect specimens, and one day they deposited a piece of brick streaked and stained, with their collec tions, thinking to impose on the doctor. Taking up the specimens, the professor remarked, "This is a piece of baryta from the Cheshire mines." Holding np another, "This is a piece of feld-spar from the Portland quarries, and this. coming to the brick, "is a piece of im pudence from some member of the class." Mocking birds can imitate human actions as well as human voices it seems. A Macon (Ga.) paper says that two pets of this stripe got jealous of each other, and undertook to fight it ont in desperate fashion.

A Mississippi boatman with immense feet, stopping at a pnblic house on the levee, asked the porter for a boot jack to pull off his boots.

A sensation novelist speaks of "a wife of three years' standing." It is replied that a man who keeps his wife standing three years must be a brute. His case does not aeem to be more aggravated than that of a woman who keeps half a dozen men "dancing" attendance on her. "What should a man do ?" asked a gentleman of a lady, "when he has an opportunity to correspond with a charm ing woman, but, being a bachelor, is a little afraid of such business?" "I should say to him "do write," answered the lady. Over the shop door of a pork butcher in a village in the eastern counties of England may been seen a signboard representing a man in a black coat, brandishing a hatchet, with the inscrip tion "John Smith kills pigs like his father." A spread-eagle orator wanted the wings of a bird to fly to every village and hamlet in the broad land, but be wilted when a naughty boy in the crowd sang out. "You'd he shot for a goose before you had flown a mile." The remark of a little eight-year old was in accordance with the wish of many people : "Mother," he said, "I wish I was built like a hen coop out of laths, and then the breeze could blow right through me." Fr.rniN. A physiognomist waa ex it itiu-ri uU ue meaning of the chin, when a lady remarked, "I know what one kind of chin the ur-ch in always means, and that is mischief."

SliasorThe It is a country saying that winter never seta in until the springs are niiea ud. The rule has its exceptions, but is ordinarily correct. Oar streams an now low. Here are the first days of November, with the air mild, the sun warm, and vailed by those fleecy clouds which betoken, not rain nor wind-storm-but genial weather. In the early morn ing we have a cripsy atmosphere, ac counted for like the frost which lies like unburnished silver on the grass and fences and roofs ; soon the sun dispels this cheap, but unadulterated and matchless sheen, and we enjoy a day in which just to live, and move, and have onr being in full view of nature, is happiness. The evening brings the silver moon, and the shadows, and a coolness which commands a trifle of fire. We alternate between the attrac tions of the earth and sky, and the cosy fireside. It is hard to settle down to the real winter's work ; the providing for the long cold montht is mainly over ; but we keep out, as yet, some of the largest specimens of plants, and we al most reproach ourselves at midday that we had not taken better care of others which might yet have been in bloom. But the changing seasona bring each their peculiar caras and their especial enjoyments. It is better to be a little early than anything too late. Provi dence Journal. Hooa Strwkes. Every one has hesrd of sun strokes. But it will be difficult to convince romantic lovers and other sentimental people, who are fond of "Cynthia's beams," that there is danger from the moon as well as from the sun. And yet in some warm laditndes people have been known to die of moon stroke. Several cases hsve been recorded at Sierra Leone, and an old number of the United Service Journal gives the fol lowing facta : "Eight or ten private soldiers had taken passage for Calcutta, and on the night that the vessel quitted Madras roads two of them, fresh young English men, finding the heat intense, brought their mats on dock, and lay down to sleep in the full flood of moonshine.

The history of the pine apple ates back for three or four centuries. Co Inmbns found it on the island of Gnad aloupe in 1-192. The Japanese cultiva ted it as early as 1599, snd it is sup posed that it waa first brought to Eu rope from Java. It appears that this fruit was transplanted from South America to Asia and Africa, for in 1595 it was carried to Bengal and China from that country. It thrives in Brazil, and according to Iltimbolt, grows wild in the forests of Orinoco. They spoil very easily, and sometimes during the voy age here the whole cargo of a vessel is spoiled. It is considered a good trip if three-fourths of the cargo is in good condition when the vessel arrives. This depends not only npon the length of the voyage, but also on the bad weather, thunder showers being de structive to them. It is estimated that 4,200,000 pine apples are brought to New York annually.
