AGRMTLTTKIL, Preparing GitorxD for Corx Suc cess in the cultivation of all crops de pend very largely ojion ttie preparation of the soil, botu as to its fcrtilltr'nd mechanical condition, and besides the ease of future cultivation depends also uion the same,. There are certaiu con ditions that operate to aflVctitie putting of a soil Id the best mechanical ' coodi tion, such as its natural fertility, its freedom from stones, stump, or other ' obstacles to cultivation, or the - mode of previous cultivation. Tuere.are advo cates of shallow plowing; this niay be necessary and ven desirable In an ex-' treniely tiiinoil, tV tire -reason that it would be poor ecoiioluy to turn up" a great depth of subsoil that has not pre viously beeu proix-rly exposed to the sun and atmosphere and its beneficial influences. But where there Is fertility a deep plow ing loosens the strata of earth so that uot only can the moisture be absorbed and retained, but the roots of the plant can much more easily pene trate in search or both moisture and food. . There 1 no doulit whatever upon the point 01 advantage in case of a drouth of deep plowing over shallow, and no case now comes to mind m which injury has resulted trom such a course, even in moist or very wet weather. Therefore is it not wiser for the farmer to adopt such a course as may insure safety against failure from drouth, and can re sult in no injury to the growing crop, rather than to pursue a course that may result in the entire destruction of the same. A great point is the thorough pulverization of the soil; without it there is no certainty of even reasonable success, and in a soil inclined to mois ture nothing is gained by attempting to hurry the plowing too soon in the spring, for in that case the soil is onlv turned over to become baked ami hard, with lumps that will continue through out the season unless special effort is made to reduce them, in which condi tion it is unavailable as plant food. Again, rocks, stones and stumps fre quently present dittk'ulties in the way of pulverizing tl e soil in so thorough a manner as would be desirable; but these, by theexercise of a little patience, i-erscveraiice and muscular ellort, can le removed, which is also netvssary for the successful use of the mowing ma' . chine and other labor-saving imple ments. An obstacle to deep plowing Is Irequen Iy ton ml in the close pros imitv ofaverv firm subsoil that has been undisturbed ill consequence of previous shallow culture. This is very iieariy the same as with a shallow soil it requires gradual breaking up and reducing to avoid ill effects. With re gard to the application of fertilizers, the old idea ol the necessity of plowing it in is rapidly losing ground; with the assistance of failing rains that descend into the earth, it is believed that there is no difficulty in disseminating all the fertility necessary in the lower soil, rather than to plow it in where Its ten dency will be to descend still lower. Alter the ground is carefully plowed, let the manure or fertilizer desired be evenly spread upon the surface and then thoroughly harrowed in. A dou ble advantage is gained thereby; in the first place, the feitilier U where it will come in contact with the young roots, and the soluble portion of which will be carried downward by means of rains, and in the second place, by means of the harrowing nees;-ary to incoriioraie it with the soil, it is greatly improving its mechanical condition, pulverizing it very largely, Inch is always beuellcial to any noiU Another point, where the soil hs proirly pre pared, the labor necesi-ary iuculuvatiou is greatly reduced, in this view of the subject is it not better for farmers to prepare their grounds properly?

Kvery hoii-e had its pair of bellows, and in every well furnished mansion there was hung a pair by the side of every fireplace. Ipswich, in Mas:tchiiscts, acquired quite a notoriety all over Xew Kngland lor the elegant and substantial articles of the kind produced. Wilt as stoves look the places, ami as coal was substi tuted for wihxI. the demand for liellows diminished until the business as a sepa rate trade quite died out. The same is true of flint cutting. Flints were once necessary, not only for firearms, but for tinder I notes, and a tinder box was as necessary for every house as a grid iron or skillet. Kvery one who looks to childhood of forty odd years ago must rememler the cold winter mornings, the eristeiit crack of the flint against the hard steel sent up from the kitchen an odor of igniting sulphur and tinder -which pervaded the house.

KTIESTIIIC. 1 ron ' Tuit.-The treat drawback in the "use of iron for many pnrposes us is weu Known is u iiauuity to rust oj exposure to the atmosphere or the ac tion of water. A .Mr. Barf lias recently given to the Koyai Academy at tuODdou a detailed account of experiment which he has made, which go to show that this disposition to rust can be en- tirel v overcome by coating the exposed surface of the iron with its own mag netic or black exute, Prof. Barf has discovered that if any iron article is txnoeed. at a high tem perature, to the action of superheated steam, it will become covered with a film of this black oxide, of a thickness which is determined by the degree of temperature and the lenirth ot expo sure. The oxide is harder than the or iginal iron, and adheres to it even more firmly than the particles of iron adhere to each other, so that there is a gain not only in chemical, but also in mechanical resistance, The oxidation does not affect the appearance of the surface in any other way than by turning it black. In his experiments Mr. Barf has exposed ar ticles thus coated to the open weather for weeks without any change in the surface.- Among tbe most valuable and important of the probable applica tions of the invention will be the pro tection of steam boilers and of the plates of iron ships; and Mr. Barf hopes that by certain arrangements it will be possible to operate upon very large manufactured articles without its being necessary to provide a heat ing chamber large enough to contain them. The nses to which iron may be put by the application of this new discovery are innumerable. Cotton waste is a singularexample of the successful application of scientific utilization, it is the collected sweep ings of the card room, which formly had no value. Large heaps were suf fered to accumulate until it fermented, and it wan then spread over the land. After that cartridge-paper makers bought it at if 10 to per ton; then it rose in price, and means were found to bleach and tear it np, in order that it miirbt be respun and woven, and now there is a trade of 14,njo,ikj hundred weights, giving employment to 500 dealers. The refuse is sold for engine cleauing, and finally to the paper maker. Juteisnext,in w hich an immense trade has been created. It is a pro duct of Bengal, and formerly was used only for gunny bags, to pack rags or merchandise m it, out now it yields to processes wiiich tit it for weaving with silk or cotton, or in the making of thread, ropes, sail cloth, and with wool in flannels and carpet, and with coco- anut fibre lor matting, etc During twenty-five years the consumption has risen from H!i,nuu hundredweights to 1,2-0,'kj hundredweights, and the value from l"0,000 to "l900,UO0, and the refuse which goes into paper mak ing now equals the original import of the raw material. It is well known that linseed oil. boiled until has lost five per cent, of its weight, assumes the appearance or con dition of molasses, and when the loss is twelve per cent, it changes into a mass strongly resembling caoutchouc. To test the drying properties ot oils boiled for various lengths of time, M. Sacc states that he applied them to a deal board; the result was that the oil which had been boiled for the space of ten minutes became a tine, transparent varnish in twentv-four hours, that which had the consistency of molasses was not resi in lied in fifteen days, and that boiled to the consistency of caout chouc remains unaltered, i roni this it would apiear that the drying property is not improved by a concentration of the oil. Effe-'t ot SunUaht on Flour. It is maintained, says The Millstone, that the inferior quality of certain kinds of wheat and rve flour is f reel uently dne to the action of sunlight on the flour; even when in bags or barrels the gluten experiences a change similar to that occasioned by heating in the mill. The tendency thus imparted to it, to become lumpy, and to form dough without toughness, is similar to that of most grain, or of flour when it is too fresh, or made from train irround early. or when adulterated with cheaper bar lev meal. Such flour can be improved by keeping some weeks. French chemists who have recently examined the composition of the mis tletoe state that it diners naterially from that of the tree it grows upon anil that it seems to live on the tree just as a plant lives in its soil. There is more potash and less lime in the mistle toe than in the supporting tree. Iml lres ! Ancient Times. In the wardrobe of a Hebrew lady, the most splendid article of clothing was the turban, for those who could af ford it. The other people had to be satisfied with winding apiece of cloth round their head, and fixing it as well as they could. Turbans are of various colors; and wound in different ways; some of them are like a high tower. Shoes and stockings were fastened with two latchets. The ladies, who carrier luxury into every department, and who are supposd, even to the present time, to be far from indifferent to a nice, neat boot, or to elegant slippers, had their shoes, or rather their sandals, and their latchets made of colored leather; dark blue, violet and purple were favorite colors. The ankles were decorated with bracelets of gold, or dainty silver chains and rings, with tiny silver bells. Hair nets and head bands were in great re quest. The latter were made of gold or silver, and worn under the net, extend' ing from one ear to the other. Earrings were much thought of; we are told of some that weighed a thousand seven Uiuiulrcd shekels of gold, and were so large that a man could easily put hi hand through them, home of the wo men wore several rings with little bells attached to them. They were generally made of horn or of silver. But the most opular ring was the nose-ring. The left nostril was pierced for the purpose, and a ring made of ivory or metal put through it. Bracelets were favorite or laments, and were generally worn on the right arm. Some of them were ex ccedingly large, so that they reached up to the elbow. Kings on the lingers were worn, chains of fine gold, or strings of pearl, with little silver balls, or small tinkling bells, were worn round the neck. Tbe Peculiarities Of Memory. The loss of recollection which gener ally follows upon stunning is a well known phenomenon; but there are not wanting instances of an abnormal rec ollection being evoked by extraordi nary circumstances. Dr. Abercrombie relates the case of a man brought into .St, Thomas' Hospital in a state of stu por from an injury of the head. When partially recovered he spoke elsh, a language which, before the accident, he had entirely forgotten from long des uetude; but when he had quite recov ered, he again completely forgot lifs Welsh, and got back his knowledge of English. Another case is even more remarkable. A boy at the age of four suffered fracture of the skull, and was trepanned while in a state of complete stupor. After his recovery he retained no recollection either of the accident or the operation; bnt at the age of fif teen during the delirium of a fever, lie gave "an account of the operation, and the persons who were present at it' w ith a correct description of their dress and other minute particulars."

Tbe day before 1 had made pies, and having some crust left 1 packed it away in a teacup with a small plate over the top. and put it in my flour barrel. I now brought it out and began to make some of "Cousin Mary's Squah Tie." vv here in ttie world," said she, "dm you get that crust? I didn't see you making any." l tola her. "Now. that's lust like you: nobody but you would ever have thought of it. l)o you al ways keep pie crust ou hand ?" Ao," said I, "I only keep It two or three days at a time, in summer not more than one. It is not so nice for an upper crust, because it gets a little dark; but just as good for under crust as at first. Besides, I always use a different kind of crust for the soft pies; l want something that will cook brown in a slow oven." "How is that?" said she; "I don't understaud." "Why, mv dear, you know that a squash pie must cook rather slowly to bring it to that cream T, delicate state so much admired; whereas, rich pastry must nave an oven as hot as you can get it, to make it light and puffy ; so me two things are not compatible. 1 always nse less shortening, and a small portion of soda and cream tartar for an under crust, and you will never see a hail-baked crust left on my table." "I'll make a note of that. A ow. what are you going to do?" l brought out my omlette pan. It is made of iron, but as smooth as glass. "There," said I, "is a pan that can't be beaten. It was my grandmother's: they don't make such nowadays; nothing ever sucks to it." Do you beat your eggs, yolks and whites, separately?" "Yes," said I, whisking the whites up swiftly with a fork (I have used up two egg beaters and come back to first principles); fresh laid eggs are beaten in no time. When the whites were so light they would cut, I added the yolks, beat a little, then put to them a cup of milk with a teaspoonfut of flour and half a teaspoonful of salt (this for six eggs), and poured the mixture into my pan, now not on the stove, in which was melted a lump of butter bigger than a walnut. As soon as the eggs begin to set on the bottom 1 turned them up and mixed them with the rest of the mass, doing the same till I had gradu ally drawn the mixture to one side, it being still very juicy the beauty of au omlette being that it must not be too dry. I now let it stand in the pan till of a golden brown color on the bottom, then turning it over on a warm platter, and it was ready. Meanwhile my little daughter had spread the table, fried the hominy, made the checolate, and so, as easy as could be, we had a nice little feast; not sumptuous, but good euough. Housekeeper.

Manitou Glen, lying at the mouth of of Ute Pass, is one of the loveliest spots eyes ever looked upon, and added to its beauty of foliage and streams is a gran deur of surroundings that the wildest and grandest of Switzerland's gems cannot surpass, if indeed equal. There is no more fascinating description of this earthly paradise than Wheeler's, who, after declaring that, in pictorial interest, Manitou Glen is more varied than anything the Swiss have to ofl'er, continues: "The volcanic agency has marred the primitive colors of the earth so as to defy description ; the red sand stone porphyry, tli6 gleaming granite, against w hich the red sandstone stands out in curious relief; the moss-grown boulders, the splendid streams of red oxide and ochrous earth, make an en- temhie of pigments that is wonderfully fascinating. All these hues are softened and supplemented by the varying tints of a luxui ious vegetation. The Foun tain Creek comes tunefully down the pass, through chasms and over preci pices, l'inyon, pine, cedar, birch and hemlock shade the road in overhanging groves, and mark the timber line upon the heights of a thousand feet above us." IiHciy Mountain Tuurtit. Mat arm I Heap. The news comes from California of the discovery of a mine of mineral soap, which cau be used for all the purposes to which manufactured soaps are appli cable. The discoverer found it when prospecting for coal, and used it in his family a year before announcing it. It is now, however, taken up by a com pany, and will be brought into com merce. The mine, which is situated in a somew hat iiiaccesible part of the coast, is in close vicinity to a stream, and it was from the fact that pieces of stone which fell into the stream were observed to melt away that the properties of it became known.. The soap is described as marble or part colored like Castile soap, and the extent of the mine is in the neighborhood of slate-stone and sand-stone, and near it a mountain of ypstim, which appears to have been turned up on its edge. The whole country around bears evidence of vol canic action, and the mountains near appear to have been once nnder the sea, as shells and other marine products abound on the highest points. t Th Coloxkl's Invbstmkxt.
