In Euro the sugar beet apears to lie displacing the turnip for cattle food In the London A'tricultural Gazette a writer Rays that many a Continental fanner considers a crop of sugar lieets far better and more profitable than any other root crop. It furnishes more 1111 tritious sulstaiices, does not exhaust the land, may he grown on fallow, and hy good cultivation and judicious manur ing nelds as much as any other root. The sugar lieet is not inclined to get hollow in the top, does not suffer so much from the frost and keeps better in stocks. The white Silesian beet is best, lieing the richest in sugar, and grows mostly under ground. The seed is sown in April or May, sixteen to eighteen IMiunds to the acre, in rows eighteen inches aart. As soou as the plants ap Iear a careful hoeing must lie given; afterward they are thinned out, and then the cultivator is kept going as often as necessary to keep the ground clear ami mellow. Kottcn farm-yard manure is used if it can lie had, if not guano, suiierphosphates and potash salts. Stimulating manures are not good for sugar beets. Aliont the Water Suily. Here are some rules on the subject of the Mater supply of dwellings, from the Saititu riH. The well should le sunk at as great a distance as possible from the privies, pig-stys, fold-yards and other collec tion s of hlth ; t his is especially ne-essary where the water from the surface spring has to te used. The top and sides of the well should le carefully puddled with well-tem-lered lay,eighteen inches thick, as far down, if practicable, as the tirst led of clay. If the top well 1 left ojen, it should le walled around to keep the surface water out and prevent accidents. The soft water cistern, if underground should lie built in cement, and puddled eighteen inches thick; it should tie veil tilated, aud the overflow should not go into any sewer or drain. The lid should lie surrounded by raised rim to prevent any surface water getting into the cistern. I.caden pijies and ci.terns should not he used lor sott water. The same cistern should not lie used for drinking and supiilving a water closet.

Fowls of all kinds are very fond of charcoal, and w ill eat it with great relish if ajirojicrly prepared. 1 onnded charcoal is not in the shaiie in which fowls usually find their" food, aud consequently is not very enticing to them. Jo please their pal ate, the charcoal should lie in pieces of about the size of grains of corn, and if these are strewed around their quarters they will readily eat thereof, lorn burnt on the cob, aud the refuse (w hich consists almost entirely of the grains rettucctl to charcoal, and still re taining their iiert'ect shajie,) placed he- lore tiiem, makes a marked improv nient in their health, as is show u hy the brighter color of their comlts, and their sooner producing a greater average of eggs to the thick than liefore. Trantphmting Plant. The editor of the (rermoutoiCH TeUgraph says: There is no mode that we ever tried so effect ual in transplanting tomato, cabbage, cauteleup, or any other tender plant from the hot-lied, or from one place to another, as to perpare a vessel filled with manure-water and rich soil, about the consistency of thin mush, with which the roots of the plant should be well coated, and set in a hole niade with a round piece of wood or dibble. After lieing rather firmly planted moisten again with manure water. We have never failed in any transplanting when done in his way, and the trouble is very slight. Feeding IiKl at the Surface. One of the Miints we have most strongly in sisted on in fruit culture is, that the outcry altout the evils of "over luxuri ance" in trees only comes from those w ho bury manure in the soil. We have stated over and over again that we have never seen fruit trees sutler from any amount of manure, when the feialing roots were at the surface and the food surface-applied. We have even seen grae vines, pear tre" ami others flour ishing in wonderful luxuriance when manure heaps have lieen made a!ut their stem. Gardners Monthly. acmrmc.

(Jne thini?. however, seems to be Quite clear : the mode of action throughout the spectrum is fundamentally the same. There are three spectra, one of which, the thermal, takes action upon all kinds of matter; another of which, the luminous, acts only upon a certain special form of nerve-matter: whiles third, the chemical, produces changes in certain compounds. Although the luminous force acts only upon the nerve of the eye to stir up a sensation, yet we know how infinitely complex and varied is the world of color that result. There is evidence that the dark thermal and chemical radiations are of equal variability and complexity, yet there can be no donbt that all these multitudinous effects are due to a single modeof action. Thedi5erencebetweeii the thermal and the chemical rays is simply the dilference betwen ttie red and the green ; that is, a difference of wave-length and degree of vibration. Popular Science Monthly. A Varnish from Vulcanized Puhher. J he following description of a method of making a varnish from vulcanized rubber is taken from the Moniteur -dustriel Pelge. In answering questions relating to the dissolution of vulcanized caoutchouc, we have repeated ly doubted thepossibilityof so doing. The present process, however, seemingly includes burning out the sulphur, etc., and then dissolving the residue. If any of our readers practically test the recipe, we should be glad to learn the result. The fragments of vulcanized rubber are deiiosited in a deep earthenware (Kit, which is closed by a tightly fitting cover and deposited on burning coals for about five minutes. During this period care must be taken not to open the vessel, as the vapor is highly infla mmable. On removal, the mass is ex amined by pushing a wire into it to see .

When hard, it is roken into small pieces, placed in a bottle with benzole or rectified essence of turpentine, and there thoroughly shaken and stirred. The dissolution then takes place, and after a brief rest the clear liquor which forms the varnish is decanted from the impurities which settle at the bottom. A Kussitm claims to have discovered process for producing light by elec tricity, which is thus described : A small tube of glass, not more than six inches in length, is filled with a pencil of charcoal, the air is exhausted, and the tube hermetically sealed. A mod erate current of electricity is then pas sed through the charcoal from an ordi nary electro-niaguetic machine caus ing'it to glow with a very radiant, but at the same timesoft light. It isstated that the charcoal does not apparently sutler consumption, but lasts for an in definite period, and that the strength of the current required is so small thatuOof these lights, at a consider able distance apart, can be easily main tained by a single machine. The in ventor claims that he can light the whole city of St. Petersburg, both street lamps, stores, and private resi dences, by a single fifteen horse power machine, with no greater cost than that of running the machine. Jlurning Iron. A Berlin exterlmen tcr has demonstrated the combustibili tv of iron iu a iH-culiar manner. He takes a straight bar magnet of some power, and sprinkles iron tilings on one of its poles. 1 hese nlings arrange themselves in accordance w itli the lines of magnetic force ; and however closely they may appear to lie placed, of course no two of the metallic filaments are parallel, and consequently, a certain amount oi air iseuclosed as in a metallic sponge. The flame ot any ordinary spirit lampor gas burner readily ignites the fiuelv divided iron, and itconunues to burn brilliantly lor some tune, the combustion being, apparently, as nat mat and easy as that of any ordinary substance. If the experimenter with this operation stands on a siirlit eleva tion and waves 'the magnet to and fro while burning, a magnificent rain of fire is said to le produced. Effect of Ammonia Fume on Flourert, Prof. Gabba has been examining the effects of ammonia on the color of flowers. It is well known that the smoke of tobacco will, w hen applied in sufheent quantity, change the tint of of flowers ; but I'rof. abba experi ments by pouring a little ammonia liquor into a saucer and inverting a funnel over it. Placing the flowers in the tube of the latter, he finds that biue, violet, and purple color blossoms become of a fine green ; carmine aud crimson become black; white, yellow ; w hile parti-colored flowers such as re and white are changed to gieen and yellow. If the flowers are immersed in water, the natural color will return in a few hours. I'rof. Gabba also found that asters acquire a pleasing odor when submitted to the fumes of ammo nia. Olucerin a an Illuminating Material. M. Schering states that glycerin may be burned in an any lamp so long as the name is kept on a level with the liquid, the latter, on account of its consistence. will not ascend an elevated wick. As the name, like that of alco hol, is almost colorless, and as the ma terial is especially adapted for absorb ing a large proportion of saline sub stances, M. Schering has recently made experiments in coloring the flames w ith various bodies, and with oath factory results, liy introducing substances rich in carbon, it appears that the flame may be rendered suitable for illumina ting nnrnoses. 1 tie low nnce of plvc- erin, and its property of not volatiliz ing at high temperatures, add to its ad vantages in this direction. irjrc nau:e as a substitute for glass is fast gaining the attention of persons engaged in constructive works. It is much employed in the Regent's Park carriage works for the lifting door screens of carnages, for which hither to glsss has been exclusively used. It is admirably suited in Summer for this purpose, as itsubduesthe glare of light, moderates the heat and admits but lit tle dust, while it insures perfect ven tilatinn. The occupants of a carriage provided with these gauze windows see plainly enough through them, and have all the advantage without the disad vautages of glass. Petroleum (HI.

BOMKTICL Indigestion There is do more com mon ailment with persons of middle life than indigestion, nor one which arises from such varied causes, or w hich is oftentimes more difticult to cure. Anything which destroys the tone of the liver, gall, stomach, or spleen, such as climate, intoxication, sedentary habits, intense stndy or anxiety, excess of any- kind, irregnlarity of bodilv functions or way of living, hard food, gluttony, too frequent use of warm slops, as tea, coffee, if, will produce indigestion. Knowing the cause, then, enable ns to And a remedy, yet often it require a long time to restore ac tivity and tone to those organs which have lieen injured by long debility, or morbid action, and if accompanied by flatulency, losa of appetite, acidity, &c these symptoms will suggest a modification of the remedies to be em ployed. The following are recom mended to remove the immediate symp toms of indigestion : 1. Magnesia, three drachms ; rhubarb in powder, one scruple; water, four ounces ; cinnamon water, one ounce ; compound spirit of lavender, half a drachm. Take two ta blespoonfuls three time a day. This will destroy acidity and restore tone to the stomach. 3. Dill water, three ounces ; spirit of cinnamon, one ounce; ammonia ted tincture of valerian, two drachms; tincture of opium, forty drops; sulphuric ether, one drachm. This assists to allay pain, and destroy flatulency. 3. Soccotrine aloes and powdered rhubarb, each, one drachm ; compound powder of cinnamon, one scruple : hard soap, half a drachm : syrup to form a mass, which may be divided into fifty pills,of which two are a sufficient dose. This is an aperient, and consequently assists digestion by removing crude matters from the stomach. 1. Infusion of col umbo, six ounces; carbon a teof potass, one drachm; compound tincture of gentian, three drachms. Dose, two or three table spoonfuls daily at noon. 3. Epsom salts, three drachms ; rose-water half a pint ; tincture of cascarilla, half an ounce. Dose as last. 6. Quick-lime, half an ounce, slaked by sprinkling on it a little water, and when it has fallen to powder, add water.apint and a half; bruised Peruvian bark, one ounce. Soak for three hours, occasionally stirring it, in a covered vessel, then decant the clear liquid, and add tincture of bark, two ounces; sweet spirits of nitre, three drachms ; syrup of orange peel. one ounce. Mix well, and keep it in a corked bottle. Dose, a wineglassful two or three times a dav. with an aperient medicine occasionally. 7. Car bonate of soda, one drachm; compound tincture ofrhatany, one ounce; tinc tures of ginger and camomiles, of each, three drachms; camphor and jalap, seven ounces. Dose as before.

FwU la tke OMta Tinea, To Asia, and probably India, where wild chickens yet abound under the designation of jungle fowl, the English owe their domestic poultry. The dis tribution of this useful bird is indeed strangely irregular. Throughout the negro kingdoms of West Africa, for in stance, fowls are plentiful, while in more civilized Abyssinia and Arabia they are comparatively scarce.' Persia abounds iu poultry, while in Turkey few domestic birds except the sacred pigeons are to be seen. To Asia, too, belong the fallow deer and the gorgeous peacock, while to her, also, we owe all our vegetables, with the brilliant ex ception of the potato.

Limit tmr Waata. From the nature of things, the income of most of the inhabitants of the earth must be limited, and indeed within very narrow bounds. The product of lalnir throughout the world, if equally divided would not make the share of each indi vidual large. It is lniossible that every one should lie what is called rich. But it is hy no means imossihle to Is- inde pendent. And what is the way to eom liss this as Burns appropriately desig nates it "glorious privilege y" This method is very simple. It consists iu one rule: Limit your wants. Make them few and iiiexiensive. To do this would interfere but little with your real enjoyment. It is mostly a matter of habit. You require more, or you are satisfied with less, just as you have a" ctistonicd youryelf to the one or the other. Limit your wants, estimate their cost, and never exceed it, taking pains always to keep it inside of your income. Thus you will secure your lasting inde pendence. Y'onng men, think of" this. A great deal of the happiness of your lives depends upon it. After having made your money, sjend it as you choose honestly; hut lie sure you make it first. About the Eye.
