HOUSE, FARM AND GARDEN.
We Invltn rommntilcntlnnn from all prrnns whn sra
IntcreHtpd iu matters projierly beluuniutf to this de
partment. Hands and Feet In Agriculture.
Peter Henderson, In an address at a
recent agricultural convention, said that
although engaged In gardening opera
tions for over a quarter of a century, it
had only been lately that he fully real
ized how Indispensable Is the use of the
feet In sowing and planting. In the
sowing of seeds he thought millions
were lost annually through neglect of
" firming" the ground around the seeds.
During the past dry season, enormouB
losses were Incurred by market gardeners
and other cultivators of cabbages, cauli
flowers, celery, etc., mainly because
they persisted in sowing the seeds with
out taking the precaution to firm the
soil by rolling. His own practice Is,
after plowing, harrowing and leveling
the land smoothly, to draw lines by the
" marker," which makes a furrow about
two Inches deep and a foot apart; after
the man who sows the seed follows
another who with the ball of his foot
presses down his full weight on every
Inch of soil in the drill where the seed
has been sown. The rows are then
lightly leveled longitudinally with the
rake, a light roller is then passed over
them and the operation is done. By
this method his cabbage and celery crops
have never once failed, and what is true
in these seeds is equally true of all seeds
requiring to be sown during the late
spring or summer months. On July
2nd, 1874, as an experiment, he sowed
twelve rows of sweet corn and twelve
rows of beets, treading In after sowing
every alternate row of each. In both
cases, those trod in came up in four
days, while those un firmed remained
twelve days before starting, and would
not then have germinated had rain not
fallen, for the soil was as dry as dust
when planted. The result was that the
seeds that had been trodden in, grew
freely from the start, and matured their
crops to a marketable condition by fall,
while the rows unpressed did not
mature, as they were not only eight
days later in germinating, but the plants
were also to some extent enfeebled by
being partially dried In the loose dry
soil.
The same season In August he treated
seeds of turnips and spinach in the
same way. Those trod in germinated
at once and made an excellent crop,
while those unpressed germinated feebly
and were eventually nearly all burned
out by a continuance of dry, hot air,
penetrating through the loose soil to the
tender rootlets. A large proportion of
the blame often laid at the doors of
nurserymen on account of selling dead
trees, he attributes to the neglect of
growers to compact the soil about the
roots.
Useful Hints.
A solution of cider vinegar and pure
glycerine iu equal parts will cure the
most stubborn chapped hands on even
the thinnest skin.
The common kerosene,-now to be
found in every household, is a cheap
cure for chilblains ; a cloth being satu
rated with it and wrapped about the
feet before retiring.
A French chemist asserts that if tea
be ground like coffee, immediately before
hot water is poured upon it, it will
yield nearly double the amount of its
exhilarating qualities.
Extreme cold produces the same per
ception on the skin as great heat. When
mercury is frozen at forty degrees below
zero the sensation is the same as that of
touching red-hot iron.
A small piece of chalk put in a pitcher
of water, without imparting any taste
whatever to the same, will yet exercise
a corrective effect upon the stomach of
any one afflicted with acidity, or heart
' burn, as it is familiary called.
To cure sore throat pour a few drops
of spirits of camphor on a lump of sugar,
and allow it to dissolve in the mouth
every hour. The third and fourth
enables the patient to swallow with ease.
This has cured in the last stages of the
disease.
A cure for whooping cough a tea
spoonful of castor-oil to a teaspoonful of
molasses. Give a teaspoonful of the
mixture whenever the cough is trouble
some. It will afford relief at once and
in a few days it will effect a cure. The
same medicine relieves the croup, how
ever violent the attack.
No Good Preaching.
No man can do a good job of work,
preach a good sermon, try a law suit
well, doctor a patient, or write a good
article when he feels miserable and dull,
with sluggish brain and unsteady nerves,
and none should make the attempt in
such a condition when it can be so easily
and cheaply removed by a little Hop
Bitters. See other column.
