SOAKING SEED POTATOES. A French potn o grower claims yields of forty-two tons per acre. He plants the seed whole, cultivates deeply and manures liberally. He also immerses his iced tubers for twenty-four hours in a solution of six pounds of sulphate of am monia and six pounds of nitrate of potash in twenty-five gallons of water, allowing the tubers to remain for twonty-four hours afterwards so that the germs may have time to swell. FOR THE HOG PASTURAGE. Clover should not be the principal re hance for the hog pasturage, but if there is not sufficient of this a field should be town with oats, rye, or barley to supple ment it. Sorghum and pumpkins should also be grown to help out. the feeding later in the season, so that the hogs may be made ready for market without so much as we have been in the habit of using iu the past. The best profit in hog feeding results when tho desired weight can be made with the least corn. This method of feeding is practicable now, because the market does not call for such heavy weight as formerly. "Light bacon" is now the grade that brings the top prices.—Chicago Times. THE VIRTUES OF STONES. I have heard a farmer brag that he hardly had a stone on his place as large as his hand, and to most farmers the idea of a stony farm is abhorrent. This is a mistake, and stones, like almost everything else, are not without their virtues. They help to make the soil rich by constantly weariug away and giving to it new material. They make it mel low and porous, and when coolness is needed they keep it cool. In warm weather they cool very quickly at night and condense the dew, thus gathering moisture from the driest air, so the land does not bake in a dry season or run to gether in a wet. Then the stones gather the water around them, making tho soil porous. In winter they give warmth to the ground, for they absorb and retaiu the heat from the sun. As long as they do not interfere with the cultivation of the land let them remain.—American Farmer. SHRINKAGE OF MILK. During the hot, dry months when flies are abundant, cows are almost sure to shrink in the milk flow. Therearesome points about this matter that are well to consider. A great many dairy farmers follow the practice of turning the cows into small pasture at night for the sake of the convenience of finding them the next morning. During the day the cows are so bothered by flies that they will uot eat what they should even if it is easily procured. If they cannot graze at night the result will be that they gat too little food in the twenty-four hours, and must in consequence shrink in their milk. The wise dairyman will see to it that the cow has plenty to eat. If it requires a little extra study and effoit on his part to get it for her he will do it, for he knows this important fact, that if the cow shrinks in summer he can cever get her back to as large a flow in the fall as he otherwise would. Good management of the cows is one of the foundations of success in milk production. Flies in the day time and cunfinmcnt at night will beat the best cow in the world.—Hoard's Dairy men. CARE OF FENCE CORNERS. Next to the garden, which ought to be the best but is too often the worst look ing place on the farm, the fence corners art likely, at this time, to need the most attention. It goes without saying that it is difficult to keep these places clean. It is still more difficult to get them clean after they have been allowed to become foul. And yet the farmer who has a high ideal of what a farm should be will not be contented to have his fence corners become a tangled hedge of bushes or a nest of weeds. Bushes are worse than weeds, for the latter cm be cut more readily and are not nearly as difficult to destroy. Not that it is easy to eradicate weeds wheu they have taken possession of fence corners and have been nllowed to ripen their seeds and mature their stalks year after year with nothing to interfere with their growth and development. But it is play to dis pose of such plants when compared with the upiooting of wild cherry bushes, hardbacks, blackberry bushes and similar growths which find a congenial home in neglected fence corners. Yet even the latter nuisances can be extir pated. It will take a good deal of work to do it, but if the work is wisely direct ed, and is continued long enough, it will bring its reward. Simply cutting off the tops, two or three inches from the ground, once a year will not be effective. Removing the fence, plowing the ground, and planting it to some crop which requires clean cultivation, is the most efficient course. If this is fol lowed for two or three seasons in succes sion the land can then be seeded and can be easily kept clean. Where this course is impracticable, cutting the roots of the shrubs and removing as large portions of them with the stems as possible, will given decided setback to the intruders. The next spring cut off the tops ol any and all the plants which appear, and re peat the process in the fall. It is slow work, and hard work, but if persevered in will, in time, give clean fence corners. And the farm upou which this work is needed will look enough better, and ba enough batter to pay liberally for its performance.—.\ merican Da.ryman. HOG CHOLERA S*MPt')MS. Symptoms of hog cholera are described by tho lowa State Board of Health as follows: The presence of tho disease is indicated by a cold shiver.ng, lasting from a few seconds to several hours; frequent sneezing, followed by a loss of appetite; rough appearance of the hair, drcoping of the ears, stupidness, at tempts to vomit, tendency to root the bedding, to lie down in dark and quiet places, dullness of the eyes, often dim; sometimes swelling of the he--1, erup tions of the ears and other paits of the body, dizziness, laborious breathing, vitiated appetite for dunr, airtj and salty substances, accumulati >.i of mucus in inner corner of the eye, discharge from the nose, fetid and offensive odor of the discharges from the bowels, of fensive exhalations; diarrhoeal dis charges are semi-fluid, of grayish green color and often mixed with blood. In many cases the skin on the belly be tween the hmd legs, behind the ears and even on the nose has numerous red spots which toward the fatal termination turn purple. As the disease progresses the animal becomes sluggish, the head droops with the nose near the ground, but usually will be found lying down with the nose hid in the bedding. If there has been costiveness, about two days before death there will be offensive, fetid discharge; the voice becomes faint and hoarse; the animal is stupid, emaciation increases rapidly, the skin becomes dry, hard and very unclean, there is a cold, clammy sweat, and death soon follows with convulsions, or grad ually by exhaustion, without a struggle. In chronic diseases or those of long duration, the animal becomes weak, and lies down most of the time, eats but lit tle and has the diarrhoea. These cases may linger for weeks, scattering the poison of the disease in the discharge wherever they go.—Western Swineherd. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. An excess of inauurc is injurious to grapes. A sharp, steel rake is a good weed killer at the start. Cultivation will benefit the trees for a few years after setting out. Prune the trees in the orchard; keep in good shape from the stare. Qood returns are made wheu the skim milk is given to the young pigs. Pull up all dead stalks of plants from the flower-beds and keep them neat and trim. It is useless to try to keep pigs strong and healthy without plenty of proper food. Keep the tomatoes well picked off the viues. Every one should be removed wheu ripe. Clover and corn cut in the milk fed to youug pigs is aa excellent thing to pro mote growth. No plan of management will be best in all c ises; the owner must adapt the treatment to the condition of the orchard. If second or third crops are to be grown in the garden, bo ready to plant them as soon as the first crops have ma tured. On clay land especially the applying of course fresh manure is beneficial on account of the mechanical effects pro duced. There is no profit in pigs that receive no attention. To make them pay they should receive some care and be fed in the most economical way. Vick says that bulb planting should be done as early in tho fall as the bulb can be procured—though it is not too late any time before winter closes in. Supplying all of the essentials of a crop, such as a good soil, thorough preparations and good seed are of more importance than the signs of the moon. One reason why some men do not suc ceed in fruit growing is that they grow nothing else. They buy fertilizer, meat, grain and everything they use. This takes all the profit. Flower pots can be rid of earthworms by pouring on the soil a warm decoction of wormwood and powdered horse chest ni ts. The worms will come to the sur face and can then be removed. Nothing delights a pig or benefits him more than a feed of roots. It is worth while to give them a ration of potatoes, beets, turnips, or artichokes at least once a week, or as often as possible. Fruit tree borers do not like to work where the fruit grower plants the truuks near the grouud with cart grease that is made up of a portion of pine tar. Some employ gas tar, but this often does great injury, says Median in his monthly. The brood sow should be given plenty of food; in fact, she requires about twice as much as an ordinary pig. If she docs not have enough food to keep herself and farrow in good condition the owner will be disappointed when the little pigs are full grown. According to Professor L. H. Bailey eight and perhaps ten species of native cherries are in cultivation; of these three are grown for fruit and all but one nr two are cultivated for ornament. None of the species have gained much prominence under cultivation, and most of them are of comparatively recent in troduction. The Wuy Opium is Gathered. When the land has been prepared, the seed sown broadcast, and covered by the use of a drag, the field is laid off into small beds about ten feet in width, irrigated by little water channels. The planti are carefully tended, and when in bloom the petals gleam like silver. These arc not allowed to fall off, but are picked one by one and dried by the women and children of the cultivator's families and then used as a covering foi tho manufactured cakes ot opium. The bare heads or capsules aro left standing until ripe enough for lanciug. This is doue with an implement somewhat like the knives of a cupping instrument, and it is said that much skill is required in making the incision just the right depth, for if made through the walls of the capsule the juice will flow into the cavity and be lost. The cut is made transversely and may extend two-thirds around the capsule, or tc be made spirally, ending beyond the starting point. This scarifying is done towards even ing, and the next morning early the cul tivators appear with their long knives and scrape off the exuding juice into vessels held in the hand. Now this is opium in the crude state, and wnen enough of the juice, half dried, has been collected to form a cake it is wrapped in I leaves and putin the shade to dry. In I this condition it is purchased by buyers I traveling from one village to another. ! They gather it in small lots, and either 1 work it over themselves or put it into cotton bags and take it to Smyrna, : where it ismspected.—Amarican Farmer. Only one couple in 11,500 live to eel i ebrate their golden wedding. HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS. THE MILKWEED IN COOKERY. It is not generally known that the :ommon milkweed ij sometimes used in iookery. When the tender sprouts are tbout four or five inches high in* the ipring, they make an excellent and de licious green. The sprouts are tied in sunches in the same way as asparagus, out they are shorter and lighter in color. Those who have eaten this vegetable de jlare it to be excellent. The milkweed sprouts, which are picked in May, in the deep shade, are considered the best. HOW TO PEEL TOMATOES. It is so customary in preparing toma toes for the table to peel or skin them that we jump at the conclusion that any one ean peel a tomato without being told how to do it. But such is not the case. Nearly all cook books say: "Pour boiling water over ripe tomatoes, then skin them," and at least ninety in every hundred persons attempt to peel them in this manner, and consequently do it with much difficulty and very imper fectly. Tltis is the proper way to peel toma toes: Cover them with boiling water half a minute, then lay them in cold water till they are perfectly cold, when the skin can be slipped off without difficulty, leaving the tomatoes un broken.—Emma P. Ewing. AIDS IN THE LAUNDRY. Gum arabic is, doubtless, the most in valuable aid to the laundress who desires the most beautiful possible finish to hei goods. As this gum does not dissolve very readily, the following will bo found an excellent method for its preparation: Pound two ounces of the fiue white gum to a powder and pour over it in a pitcher a pint of boiling water; cover the vessel and allow it to stand over night. In the morning pour tbe solution carefully from the dregs inta a clean bottls and sot it aside for use. A tablespoonful of this gum in a pint of starch will give a fine smooth gloss to shirts aud like goods. It is not safe to add the powdered gum to the starch while it is beiug made, as there is the possibility of particles of sediment being present, and it will ba difficult tf get a perfect blending of the gum. SEALING OF JELLY JARS. Strain jelly into jelly jars which have been thoroughly washed in soap and water and have been standing iu boiling water for a half hour. When the jelly is cool pour over it a small quantity ol melted paraffine; let it harden; then poui in more, for as tho first hardens it may crack or shrink from the sides and leave spaces where ferments may enter. In other words, the jars need to be made air-tight—not that the air does mischief, but because it contains the organisms which on entering the jelly cause by their growth the changes known a? "touring." The object is to exclude all micro-organisms. This may be done in other ways than by use of paratfine. Cut apiece of white paper just large enough to cover the jelly; soak it in alcohol for five minutes, then lit it into tho tumbler and pack over it a wad of sterilized cotton batting, let ting it fill the mouth of the jar or tum bler like a stopper. This is an effectual means of preserving all kinds of fruit, as micro-organisms cannot go through the batting. Care must be taken, how ever, to have it properly sterilised. This may easily ba accomplished by making the wads of the required shape and size and putting the u in a tin plate in a hot oven for half an hour. When putting the cotton into jars be careful not to touch the under side of the wad or allow it to touch anything until it is placed in the jar; each may be wound with a piece of cloth to make it look neat, or a price of paper may bf tied over it. —Chicago News.

The Gospel of St. Mark, printed on raised letters at Philadelphia in Novem ber, 1N33, was the stepping stone to the education of the blind.

I.onton, Auj*. 19 (Dalziel's Special News). —Advices received tr-lay from Corunna itattf that the steamer Vera Cruz, which ar rive I there on Any. 11, from Havana, re ported that on Aux. 5 she fell in with a small boat named Sapo'io, manned by Captain William A. An Ire vs. in answer to questions of the Captain of the Vera Cruz, Andrew* said he had sailed from Atlantic City, N. J., with the intention nnd hope of arriving at Huolva and Palos de Moguer, on the Rio Tinto, by next Octol er, in time for the occasion of the pub lic festivals iu connection with the Columbus centenary. The Captain of the Vera Cruz offered Andrews anv provisions he required, hut the latter replied he did not want any, aud only desired to be reported. It will be recollected that it was from Pa'os that Columbus sailed in 14!tt when he set out ou his discovery of America. The above report was Inter confirmed bj cables from Madrid, one of which sail: The Captain of the Vera Cruz describes Captain Andrews as hale and hearty. Cap tain Andrews, he siys, resented a question as to whether ho wished to be taken aboard the steamer, declaring that he was certain that he could reach Huelva without assist ance in time for the Octobsr fetes. He asked only one favor—that the Captain of ths Vera Cruz should hand a letter to the American Consul at the first Spanish port he entered. Captain Andrews then tied hi* letter to a piece of scrap iron and threw it aboard the Vera Cruz, and after mutual farewells and wishes for a prosperous voyage the two vessels parted. On the following day, August 6th, the "Sapolio" fell in with th.> German ship "Adolf," Captain A. Scheepsma, who writes that on that date he supplied Captain An drews with "fre»b water, fresh bread, eggs, and claret, also with a lantern an 1 a length of line, captain an 1 boat bein; all right." We give it just as written, showing that our Herman lrienl can bo as lio t -ral with his letters as with the fresh bread, which must have provjd so gratefu to the daring lone voyager who c irries no fire, and on whom the baker dots not call m the morning. ***** The New York liera'd, in an editorial ar_ tide on August 20th, rather unjustly com mrnted on Captain Andrews' trip. It said: The cable disp mch ] übli.-hed yesterday givini news of the intrepid L'ag tain Ander son, of dory fame, has given encouragement, if not assurance, to his Iriends. * * * There can be no scientific value in voyages of this sort an t no results can come from tlieni that are of much intertst to the gen eral pub lie, save the proof that a sixteen foot boat may in exceedingly c.l n weather cross the Atlantic. * * * Were Captain Anderson to prove by his attempt that a transatlantic was infinitely more I lensaut an I ra >i lin a small boat than in an ocean pilace, then ttie community might tie grate.ul.

A. NUZUM. Not ft* Mitny Stars us Wo Imagine. There seems to be little doubt that the Dumber of the visible stars is really lim ited. Most astronomers now admit that the total number of stars visible in our largest telescopes cannot much exceed 100,000,000. This is, of course, a large number, but compared with an infinite number it is really very small. It may be proved mathematically and the demonstration is a very simple one—that were the number of stars really infinite, and equally distributed through infinite space, the whole heavens would shine with the brightness of the sun, The Lapps. The Lapp* call their country Snbmeor Same, and themselves Samelota, and the terra lota has generally been supposed to bo a contemptuous nickname giren to them by foreigners, derived from the Finnlih "lappu," and meaniog simply "land's-end--olk." A more plausable suggestion, however, is that of Professor Priis, of Chrlstiania, who refers the term to an old Finnish root 'Mappaa," signifying to roam or wander about, in allusion to their nomad habits. In the mouth of southern or more civilized Lapps it appears to have become synonymous with rude or bar barous, and is so applied by them to the less cultured northern communities. Anthropologists seem to have some difficulty in assigning to the Lapps their exact place in the human family, but it may be safely affirmed that they are a combination of Caucasian and Mongolian types. Be this as it may, their physical characteristics are remarkable; decidedly more remarkable than attractive. They arc probably tjie shortest race in the Kastern Hemisphere, unless it be Mr. Stanley's demoniacal dwarfs. A man over five feet in height would be a giant among them, and the women are rarelj more than four feet six inches. They arc also the shortest headed and thinnest skinned people in the world. Some of them, indeed, are long-headed enough in the intellectual sense and know as well as any how to drive a bargain and deal with strangers, but they are none the less pre-eminently what the scientific people designate as "brachycephalic."— Good Words.
