Tlie common as.sertiori that bra-vs
cannot be tempered Is met by a writer
with a statement covering his own ex
perience during a long period. Brass
he asserts, not hard by mixture, but by
compression, either rolling, hammering,
wire drawing, or any other process
which compresses the particles of met
al, can be and is tempered regularly
just as easily and in the same manner
as in tempering an equal piece of hard
ened steel, namely, by heat; that Is, by
placing a small piece of polisned steel
on the brass object to be tempered, and
applying the heat so as to effect equally
the brass and steel, the temper of the
brass will be made known by the color
of the ateel, and, consequently, brasj
may by this process be tempered in
exact proportion to every ahade of co'or
of the ateel.

A Aft(j?.i j- describes a remarka

there, Tlie trees do not grow large a
tree with a trunk altout a lootin diameter

dry the wood is about as hard as box
wood, and, being of a very fine grain
might no doubt be used for the same
purposes. It is of a rich red color and
Tery heavy. When well seasoned It
would be a One material for the wood

for making boxes, for shafting, and in a

earth floor for storing potatoes during
winter. Boxes holding a bushel USx
10x10 inches, and made to sit one upou
the other) are the most convenient for
gathering and carrying the potatoes iu.
These may be made with barred sides
and bottoms, and will then hold no sol),
and when plied up in cellar or root
house afford some ventilation between
them. The measurement of the boxes
is arrived at thus: A bushel is 2.1 j'J
cubic inches; a heaped bushel is one
fourth more; that is, it farms a cone as
high above level as half the depth of
the bushel, which is etjual to a touith
of the cajtacity of the struck bushel.
Hence a heaped bushel Is 2.CS7 cubic
inches, and lSxl5xlt) Is 2,7UO inches.
I have used 6latted hurdles fastened to
gether with hooka and staples at the
corners, and standing 4 feet high, for
making bins. These should not - be
more than C feet long and the end ones
4 feet, making marly 1U0 cubic reet or
about sixty bushels in each bin. Four
inches st-ace should be left between the
bins and the wall and each other
so that abundant air circulate through
the whole. Tue temperature of a
rcot-cellar should be no more tbau
40 degrees. IT it should fall below
that, a very slight accident would en
danger freezing, and it is much easier
to c.K.1 the cellar ir it be too warm
than to warm it if it gets too cold.
Destuoyino Iuack Grass. It
requires more labor iu digging aud cul
tivating to destroy quack grass iu a
single season than most people are will
ing to give. Digging out every root
will do the businss. but the roots run
deeply, and It is almost impossible to
get all. Smothering is au easier
temedv, and for a small patch, more
certainly successful. Cover the piece
a little beyond the outside of the patch
with straw to the depth of two feet.
Watch this through the summer
and should any plants appear oubside
the patch, cover them to the same
depth. ( )ne season with this treatment
is effectual. Where large fields are
overrun by quack, entirely killing is
scarcely to lie hojel for in one season,
uuless the field is tree from .it ones aud
trees and the iuack does not extend
into the fences. IJy plowing deeply
early many of the quack: roots will be
turned to the surface, w here they may
be raked into windrows and burned
during the heat of summer. 1-aud
this summer fallowed will give an
immense crop of wheat, and the quack
will lie little trouble for a number of
years thereafter. We have never
known a large held of quack to be so
killed In one season. Sjiae roots will
escape but the pest may le reduced to
a few small patches, anil these subdued
by smothering with straw.
Onions CTltuke. Iu a bulletin
Pr. Slurtevent gives the following ex
periment: "The soil was thoroughly
pulverized over a small plat of ground
and on an adjoining plat of equal size
the ground was packed as bard as possi
ble by repeatedly pounding it with a
heavy maul. The surface of both
Plata was ihen covered with finely pul
verized soil to the depth of half an
inch, and, on June 3. three rows oa
each plat were planted with seed of the
large red eathersueld onion. Late
planting was disadvantageous to the
yield, buL the three rows ou the com
pacted soil yielded nine pounds seven
ounces of merchantable bulbs, while
the three rows oir the pulverised soil
yielded but three pounds three ounces.
The ircen'.age of vegetation in the
two plats was not noticeably different,
although the vegetation was prompter
n the conipact soil.
Iv many section where little or no
honey is being gathered robbing may
be expected aud should be guarded
against. If you have weak or queeii
less colonies break them up aud remove
the hives to a safe place. l)o not ex
pose honey where the bees can get at it
or it will demoralize your whole apiary.
It is wonderful bow soon bees discover
that honey can be had and how (tersls
tent they are. 1 have sometimes
thought that bees would work ten times
harder (like humon llngs) to steal
than to get it by honest toil. The
only safety is to expose no honey and
keep all hives so strong that is almost
sure death for a robber to enter.
VNTniNKiNO rarmers w ill sometimes
place a colt or young horse by the side
of a horse of more mature yeais, aud
expect it to do au equal amount of
work without injury. Such a thing is
not only cruel but unwise. Many
promising horses have been ruined by
such treatment. No young borse
should be expected to stand the work
'.hat horses which have been accustomed
o hard usage are able to undergo.
Kopjes for halters are sometimes very
stiff.coarse and rasping. lioiliug li hot
water lias been recommended in order
to produce limpness. Do not dry them
before the fire, but put them in a place,
where the sun may shine on them.
Then, If they are rubbed with a very
little kerosene oil after they are dry
they will be more easily handled.
Sa.-sai ras is a nuisance in any Celd,
but it cannot be destroyed very easily
except by grubbing it out, removing all
the roots. IJeing a hardy and persis

as is required to clear new land from

Thk small streams which often flow
through farms are almost invaluable
sources of fertility. If the mud which
accumulates in them every year cleaned
out and spread upon the land. All the
leaves, together with the fine mold
from cultivated fields, find a lodgment
in the beds of these streams. Several
loads or manure as valuable as that
made in stables may thus be secured
ivery year.
It is difficult to drown an insect, as
the water cannot enter the pores of
the skin, but if a drop of oil be applied
to the abdomen it falls dead at once
being suffocated.

On the other side was a church 328
feet away, having a lightning rod
reaching up 154 feet. Both rods were
well placed and had worked well when
