HOUSE, . FARM AND GARDEN.
WMnvit nommimlrnHntiK from nil twraon who r
Interriitci lu HlUr iraperly Im lotwitiK to tail de
iwtnwut, Only n Farmer.
A record such as any man might be
proud of, Is that of John Conant, farmer;
of Jnffiey, N. H., who died recently at
the age of fO years. "His Inheritance
was a sound constitution, a clear head,
and a warm and honest heart." At 25
he purchased a farm, ami within the
next 23 years gathered from It a fortune
of more than a hundred thousand dol
lars. This was during the reign of
moderate prices before the war, and his
fortune waB the result solely of his good
Judgment, energy and perserverance,
applied lu his furmlug, and without
speculation or remurkuble opportunities.
Mr. Conant made good use of his money.
During his life he gave over $20,0(K) to
the churches and schools of his town ;
to the New London Institution $12,000,
and to the Asylum for the Insane $0,000.
His love for his profession, however,
made him especially active aud solicitous
forlta welfare. Accordingly, "hlBgraud
est benefactions," Bays the Mirror and
Farmer, "were to the' Agricultural
College at Hanover. Upon this Institu
tion the Jaffrey farmer lavished gifts
which aggregated more than $70,000,
and it Is to his generosity that the Htate
is indebted for the college farm, and, in
fact, the college itself. 'Conant Hall,'
erected by funds contributed by him, is
one of the monuments to his memory,
and the twenty-three scholarships, one
for every town In Cheshire county, will
always bear witness to His clear head
and his liberal hand."
To young men who see In agriculture
no opportunity to gain wealth, honor
and Influence, hero is a biography worth
studying. All honor to such a noble
man, Bay we, and honor to those who
shall profit by his example. Would that
wealthy farmers generally, even thougli
they have got their money by inheri
tance, or In other callings were as
practically and unselliBhly active for
the good of their calling. Were but a
tenth part of the wealthy farmers about
us to emulate and copy his example,
there would be little need for anxiety
for the future of agricultural education.
Hardening Steel.
As the hardness depends on the quick
ness with which it Is cooled there are
better materials than water, which, be
sides, gives an, unequal temper, the
steam bubbles' developed Interrupting
contact. ' Another thing, water Is a bad
conductor of heat, and If the bubbling
and heat did not put it in motion it
would be unfit for hardening. Water
with plenty of ice In it gives a harder
temper ; small tools may be stuck into J
a piece of ice, as jewellers and watch
makers insert them in a piece of sealing
wax. Oil is also used by them as being
better than water, as it docs not evapo
rate so easily. The Damascus Bteel blades
! are tempered in a strong current of
cold air passing through a narrow slit.
This gives a much more uniform and
equal temperament than water. 4 But
the most elFectlve liquid Is the only
liquid metal mercury. This' being a
good conductor of heat in fact the very
best liquid conductor and the only cold
one appear to be the best liquid for
hardening steel cutting tools. The bet
steel, when forged into shape and hard
ened in mercury will cut almost any
thing. We have seen articles made from
ordinary steel, which have been harden
ed and tempered to a deep straw color,
turned with comparative ease with cut
ting' tools from good tool eteel hardened
in mercury. Beware of inhaling the
vapor while hardening. '
The Pear Blight and Unseed Oil.
The Mural IIomc,ot Rochester, N. Y.,
says : "A year ago we gave . some ac
count of experiments by D. P. Westcot,
of this city, in treating blighted pear
trees with linseed oil. He had, in the
latter part of Vhe previous year, washed
several pear trees, which had commenc
ed blighting, with raw linseed oil, aud
the spread of the blight semed to be
arrested, and the trees had then put
forth their foliage, which appeared per
fectly healthy, , . r - i
" We felt a little nnxlous to know
whether those trees entirely recovered,
or whether in course of last season they
succumbed.' So on June 1st we visited
the grounds again, and were pleased to
find bis trees looking perfectly healthy
and making a vigorous growth of new
wood. . You can see upon . tfie trunks,
and on some of the branches, the dead
blackened exterior bark, showing the
effects of the blight, two years 6ince,
but not a leaf indicates that any remnant
of the disease remains. We took a knife,
and cutting through ' the dead bark,
found the inner bark green and sound.
We think that these results are sufficient
to warrant further trial of the remedy,
as it eaully applied and seems to do the
tree iro injury." . -
