IwUsITfTrFaND GARDEN."
T Tell the Hour.
Beat yourself at a table. Attach a
piece of metal (say a shilling) to a
thread. Having placed your elbow on
the table, hold the thread between the
points of the thumb and forefinger, and
allow the shilling to hang In the center
of a glass tumbler ; the pulse will Imme
diately cause the shilling to Vibrate like
a pendulum, and the vibrations will
increase until the shilling strikes the
sides of the glasB 1 and suppose the hour
of the experiment be seven or half-past
seven, the pendulum will Btrike the
glass seven times, and then lose its mo
mentum and return to the center; if
you hold the thread a sufllcent space of
time, the effect will be repeated, but not
until a sufllcent space of time has elaps
ed to convince you that the experiment
is complete. We need not add that the
thread must be held with a steady band,
otherwise the vibrating motion would be
contracted. At whatever hour of the
day or night the experiment is made,
the coincidence will be the same.
Storing of Fodder-Corn.
The succulence of green corn-stalks
renders them difficult to dry thoroughly.
To stow away uncured corn-fodder in
stacks or barns, without precautions to
' prevent moulding, is unsafe. A good
plan is to shock the bundle in a con
venient place, covering the top of the
shock with a sheaf of straw, and binding
the top tightly to exclude the rain, and
leaving the Bhock out of doors until
used. A few shocks may be brought in
when needed, and will be found fresh,
green and in the best of order. Sweet
coru-fodder, with many small ears and
nubblus on the stalks may be covered
and kept in this manner in the best con
dition. Preserves.
Preserving peaches, pears, pi u ins ect.,
the amount of sugar to be used depends
upon the flavor of the fruit. As a gen
eral rule, however, three-quarters of a
poundof sugar is sufficient to a pound of
fruit. Make your syrup firBt, by adding
a very little water to the sugar; just
enough to dissolve it without burning;
let It boil, skimming frequently, till no
more scum rises, before putting in the
fruit. If the fruit is very hard it is best
to steam it partially tender before put
ting it into the syrup. It must be cook
ed soft enough to stick a straw through
' it, or it will not keep. Always skim
out carefully into your jar, that it may
not break, and then pour on the boiling
syrup. It is best to keep preserves air
tight, as it retains the flavor more.
Oats and Wheat.
The experiment has been made of sow
ing oats and wheat together with a view
to gain a winter covering for the wheat.
The seed, in the proportion of one part
of oats to two parts of wheat was sown
in the fall and the oats sprang up and
were killed by the early froBts, the stalks
and leaves lying on the ground all winter,
keeping the snow from blowing away
and preventing the sun from thawing
the frozen ground. In the spring the
dead oats made a good top dressing for
the growing wheat. The crop of wheat
secured on the following season was re
ported to be excellent, while wheat on ad
Joining land, planted In the usual man
ner, was of no value.
i Storing Hay.
When properly cured, hay keeps the
best in a large mow in which it has been
thoroughly packed. Hay thrown up
loose on a scaffold loses that aroma and
freshness which characterizes that from
the center of a large mow. Hay does
not demand the large ' spaces between
the outside boards of many barns in
order to preserve It. Put the boards
close together and keep out air and rain,
and save the hay, which would other
wise spoil by weather staining. It
is better, too.
- BSThe Scientific American has found
a use for empty fruit cans. It recom
mends placing one or more pin holes in
the bottom and sinking them in the
earth near the roots of strawberry or
tomato plants, the holes to be made of
such size that the fluid can only
escape into the ground very slowly.
A very little care in filling the cans oc
casionally will keep the ground - well
irrigated.
How She Saved Her Daughter.
" I shall never again feel bo awfully
nervous about my babies teething,'"
writes a grateful mother. "We almost
lout our little darling by a long attack of
cholera infantum, but happily heard of
Parker's Ginger Tonic in time. I took
a few tpooufuU myself, which soon
cured my nursing baby entirely, and an
occasional doge has kept me and baby in
hucIi perfectly good health, and made us
so strong and comfortable that I would
not be without this reliable medicine for
worlds." A Mother of Brooklyu. '2d lm

A NEW DEPARTURE!
if EST PLOW IN THE WORLD !
THE SYRACUSE CHILLED PLOW CO.
of Syracuse, N. Ye
Are now putting on tlio market a riow Hint
Is as much superior to any Plow heretofore
mode as tho Plows of tho past few years havo
been superior to those made half a century
ago.
It combines all the excellencies of any Plow
In use.
It obviates all the objections made to any
other Plow.
In addition It embraces several new features
ot the greatest value, for which wo havo ob
tained exclusive Patents,
Its Beam, Clevis, Jointer Standard and Wheel
Standard wtll be STEEL, and Its mold board
will be a composition of Steel and Iron chilled
under a process for which we have also
obtained an exclusive Patent It will be
colled '
' THE SYRACUSE
CHILLED STEEL PLOW
Its weight wilt be eighteen pounds less than
our present styles.
A Qrst-clnss Steel Plow, made In the or
dinary way, full rigged, retails for twenty-two
dollars. Inferior Steel Plows retail from six
teen to nineteen dollars.
The price ot our new Plow will be but
Seventeen Dalian, and it Will be tho
cheapest Agricultural Implement ever sold.
Its mold board will outwear three ot the
very best kinds ot the ordinary Btecl mold
boards.
It will scour In soils where all steel plows
and all other plows have hitherto proved a
failure.
With this Plow will be Introduced a corru
gated Plow Point and Jointer Point, on which
we have also obtained a Patent, and which Is
also a great Improvement, both as regards
strength and wear;
The Jointer can be shifted 89 as to take
more or less land, and also more or less pitch,
and It con always be kept on a lino with the
Plow.
The wheel will run under the beam or one
Bldo ot It as desired, and always kept In line.
The boom Is adjustable for Spring or Fall
Plowing, and also tor two or three horses.
Tho handles can bo adjusted to accommo
date a man or boy, on the same Plow.
It Is a perfect Plow.
Wooden beams are going out of use because
they shrink, swell and warp, and never run
two seasons alike.
Iron beams are too heavy.
Malleable beams becomo demoralized and
bend, which Is much worse than to break.
A Steel beam Is the necessity of tho day. It
is three times as strong and very much lighter
than any other style.
When k say a Mold board Is chilled, the
farmors know It 13 so.
We do not palm off on them a composition
of vortou3 metals and call It chilled metal.
We want agenta for this new Plow In every
town In this State,
Wo can give but a vory small discount to
them, but we will pay the Railroad Freight
We propose to place this Plow In the hands
ot Farmers as near the cost ot manufacture
as possible.
It will be the leet Agricultural Implement
ever sold.
It shall also be tho chmpett.
Persons therefore who are not willing to act
as agents on the principle that "a nimble six
pence Is better than a slow shilling, " need not
apply for an agency.
KoPlows on commission. All sales absolute.
r Tlila Is the only Steel Chilled Plow tu
the World.
Steel costs several times more than Iron.
But this Plow, full rigged, by giving small
discounts, can be sold for Seventeen Dollars.
Compare this price with that of any Iron Plow
ever made.
It Is cheaper than any other Plow now
made would bo at Ave dollars and a halt
Where there are no agents we wtu, on re
ceipt of Seventeen Dollars, send a Plow to any
Hanroad station In the State and pay the
freight Address,
