IwBICClTTBAL. Waste Laxds. Lauu which pro duce nothing and are not zrowinz bet ter are a tax upon a farmer' resources agaiust which there appears to be no counter balancing Item. Year after Year as he makes up bis balance sheet there is this item for the cost of this waste land and the interest upon it. The original sum remains the same but the interest runs up with the addition of one rear more, as the twelve months come around. The improvement of these lands so as to render them a source of income, has been receiving a good deal of attention for the past live years, and thousands of acres of marsh lands have been drained and made partially available i husbandry during the time. The effect upon production is not probably notice able yet, but the good effect upon the health of the people Is too apparent to escape even the most careless observer, There are yet large areas of this low land covered during the summer with a rank, coarse gra, and for the rnot part saturated with water to the surface. or nearly so. Nothing can be done with thee lands profitably until they re drained and made capable of cull! vation. Some of them will y-ild crops of corn, oats, hay and turnips; some remain cold aud unproductive, and uo not seem to be adapted to ordinary pro cesses of tillage. What shall be done with this class is a question of some Iin portance. e thilik they may be pro litably planted with the osier willow, V hue all low lands will produce tn basket willow, there are some which appear to be useful for nothing els, The well drained low lauds are bette: adapted to willow culture than those not drained or even partially drained. While the peeled willow sells for four to ten cents a pound, there is little question as to whether it is a profitable crop to grow or rot. Land that overflow in the winter season or early spring are not injured for willow culture, neither is the crop hurt by an overflow for a short time as late as June. There are large oQnntitics of willow stock imported from Europe Into this country annually, at a coat surprising as well as unnecessary ; for we have as good facilities for growing the canes as are found or. the continent ol fcuroias. Banking Barns. While It is not good plan to make the stable too warm in winter, it is a moet excellent ar rangement to have the ventilation un der the control of the owner. 1 believe in tight barns, and in banking up such as are built upon corner blocks or stones, so as to prevent a free sweep of the wind beneath the Door. It will be found with an animal as with a person that a current of air striking the body from an open space in the floor, will chill quicker than if coming from the side. Io not have the points from which the air is to be admitted either in the rear or close beside the animal, but such a distance away that the current of air will lose its preceptible force br the time it reaches it. There are two cheap methods of In closing the part of a barn beneath the sills, that will prove sufficient protec tion to the animals in winter; one is to bank up, the other Is to set studding between the sills and bed pieces, which mav be laid down and then clap-board up the tide, or board up plain aud bat ten the cracks, ihis last plau is, In my opinion, better than banking, as it does not create the liability to rot the sills that the former possesses, unless a good deal ol care Is exercised in banking. iverv farmer knows best hisowu abili ty to do, but as a means ol bot.i econo my and humanity, 1 advise every one who has not alrtady made his stable barn secure to do so before winter sets In.

A farmer would have to pay a larger price for the small quantity of sulphuric acid purchased by bim than a manufacturer would give who was purchasing large quanti ties at wholesale. 1 he uinerence would eat up all the profit. The advantage in making it one s self is that the super phosphate would be pure, and there fore worth more than a great deal of what is sold as superphosphate. Indeed the adulteration ( commercial fertili zers is carried to a scandalous extent.

This com plaint is mainly due to tilth, though varirus other causes are known to pro duce the same effect. As soon as the soles are discovered to be in a dry, cheesy and scaly condition, the annual should be removed to well littered quarters. The decayed parts should be carefully pared and 8craed off with a kuife not too sharp, as it is tieo ssary to avoid wounding the sensitive part of the foot. The feet should be examined daily, or every other day, according to their conditions, and a small portion of the following mixture applied : "Cre osote, half an ounce; spirits of turpen tine, one ounce; olive oil four ounces.

Among the inter esting things that were shown to the architects in Philadelphia, daring their convention, was the patented process of Messrs. Strut hers it Sons, for saw ing granite. Hitherto it has been found impracticable to cat granite with a saw. siuce the ordinary sand process weald cat only an inch aDd a half or two inches per day. The inventor of the Messrs. Jstruthers' process hit upon the idea of using chilled iron, finely divided, instead of sand. A jet of steam is directed upon a tine stream of melted iron, and blows it into spray, just as in the common atomizer a jet of air pulverizes, so to speak, the stream of liquid upon which it in turned. The iron, divided into tine globules of, say, a fortieth or a fiftieth of an inch in diameter, falls into cold water, and is chilled into excessive hardness. It is used under a saw of soft iron, and with a stream of water, as sand is used in sawiug marble. Most persons would have supposed that the scratching of articular giains of sand would be more ellicient than the rolling friction of globules of iron ; but it would seem that the sand is speedily crashed into dust, while the tough iron simply wear ing down into smaller and smaller globules, crushes it way through the felspathic and other crystals of the granite (which with as is usually sien ite, by the way, aDd not granite.) The rolling of the globules is curiously shown by fine channelings or tiatings, which score the ander edge of the saw from end to end. By this device gran ite can be sawn at the rate of three or four inches per hour, and at small ex pense: the waste of the iron being about three pounds for every square foot of kerf, or two square feet of sawn surface. For small blocks, where a saw can be used that is short enough aud therefore stiff' enough to bear a heavy pressure without buckling, it is found possible to cat at the rate of twelve or fourteen inches per hoar. The surface obtained by sawing is vastly better prepared for polishing than a hammered surface, not only be cause it is smoother, but because by hammering the surface ol the stone is "stunned," as it is termed : that is, the crystals are so bruised and shattered below the surface that it is necessary, betore the polishing can begin, to grind away an eiichtn of an Inch or more. which is unnecessary with a sawn sur face. A merican A rchitect and Budding Aeic. A yew Metal. The London Time says: A new compound metal, which promises to prove of considerable value in mecnanicai constructions, nas re cently been introduced to public notice under the name ol manganese bronze. This metal owes its origin to Mr. P. M. Parsons, who is the inventor of auother useful metal known as white brass. and is made by the hite iirasa Cora- F any, of Lombard street. South war k. t is produced by mixing manganese in certain proportions with molten bronze. the result of which is a material of great toughness and possessing re markable resistance to tensional strain. I he new alloy is advantageously used tn a variety of cases where gun-metal, bronze aud yellow metal are ordinarily applied, la a molten condition it is readily cast into any required shape. and in this form it is stated to exceed the best pun-metal in strength and toughness by about fifty per cent., and to be about equal to wrought iron of averaee quality, at can also be forced or rolled at red heat and drawn into tubes or wire, its strength being in creased to that of mild steel by this process, and its tonghness being brought nearly np to that of copper. It can also be made of various degrees of hardness. Samples of this metal were tried at the Royal Gnn Factories, Woolwich Arsenal, when Xo. 1 quality was found to have an ultimate strength of 21.3 tons per square inch, aDd to stretch nearly nine per cent, of its length lefore breaking. No. 2 qnality, which is slightly under that of No. 1 has a high elastic limit of Dearly seven teen tons per square inch, an ultimate tensile strength of 83.6 tons per square inch, the elougatiou being .070 in two inches, although there wasa slight Haw in the specimen. The specimens were those of cast metal, and by forging or rolling either quality at a red beat they are stated to acquire a tensile strength of from twenty-nine to thirty tons per square inch, and to stretch from twen ty to thirty per cent of their length before breaking. Some samples of the metal were exhibited at the recent meeting of the Iron and Steel Institute. An Air Cooler. To reduce the temp erature iu a factory in Paris, recourse was some time since had to an inex pensive form of air cooler, described as follows : A thin plate of metal, per forated with holes one-tenth of an inch in diameter, and having a total area equal to one-ninth of the surface of the pate, was set at a slight angle in a tight box : over this plate a thin sheet of water, at a temperature of fifty-five degrees Fall., was allowed to flow steadily, and by means of a power oiower, air was iorceu into the box be low the plate ; by its preaare, the air forced its way through the holes in the piate and tnrougn tne water, and was then led bv pipes to all parts of the factory. By this device the air in the room was reduced to fifty-seven de grees, cither experiments gave vary ing results, according to the initial temperature of the water, but in each rase the apparatus reduced the temp erature of the cm rent of air to within seven degrees of thrt of the water. Steam power is required for the blow er, and. for the best results, the supply of water must be abundant and its tempatnre low. Mill a Distant Lamp Looks Blurred.

Tht true Story of a Doll A year go, a young girl one of the teaehers in a school in a great city, bade good-bye to the children and went home. The children laughed a great deal, and the story went about how that Miss .Nelly was going to be married soon, and was going home to learn to keep house Nelly was one of the merriest girls in the world. In school or at home, everybody tried to sit next to her, to hear her laugh. Nobody was ever so friendly or so full of life, they said. Bat she was not strong; aud when she went home instead of learning to keep bouse, she grew thinaer and weaker day by dav, while the doctors stood helplessly looking on. The marriage was pat off again and again. At last she could not leave her room. Yet still people tried to come close to her ; the laugh was always ready on her lips, and the big blue eyes grew more friend ly with each fading day. It began to be noticed, however, that she was aDiious to sew or knit all the time, to make something for little chil dren soft, white little shirts, or baby's socks. In the city where she lived tbeie is a hospital for sick children, in which there are many "memorial beds" given as legacies by dying women, or in remembrance of them by their friends. Nelly had no money to endow a memorial bed, but her thoughta were busy with the sick babies. "I will dress a box of dolls," she said, "so that each can have one on Christ mas morning." They gave her the dolls, and scraps of silk and lace. aDd she worked faithful ly at it with her trembling fingers. "I will have them ready," she would sav. Bat it seemed as if she would not have even one ready, she was forced so often to lay it down. One September night she was awake all night, and made them wash and dress her and give her her work-box and scissors. By noon the doll was dressed, and sh laid it down, smiling. An boor or two latter, they told her that the end was near. She kissed them all good-bye. Her face was that of one who goes nnon a pleasant jour ney ; and holding her mother's hand, she closed her eyes and went away. T here is the little don, alone in its box. I though' if each little girl who reads this story would dress a doll and send it to a poor child in some asylum or hospital on Christmas morning, that Nelly wonld surely know of it. and be glad that she and her loving tanry had not been forgotten. est. j irAota.
