The farm is probably the best i n school for studying nature, for d. alth'ough there are high grades of 0r scientific institutes which, so far as m chemistry and a few other branches of natural philosophy are con cerned, give minute instruction, yet the farm of a wide field for tn practical observation. We have eU before us a little book of letters pL written a hundred years ago by w Gilbert White, entitled "Natural of History of Selborne." It has be- cr come an English classic. Mr.White th lived in a little village in Hamp- th .shire, England, and it was his habit to to to go out every day to study nat- t nral history. He kept memoranda as of little events, and he wrote occa- th sional letters to men of letters and science in a very nice style. He N thts, in a modest way, did much r for science. He studied the habits Pa of birds and animals, and sought to know the uses of the common plants and trees. We advise every C{ boy ho has any desire to leain bu the simple and pleasant method by ' which this modest, genial man pursued his inquiries, to obtain the c book. It is not expensive. It would be well if our boys on farms made a study of the familiar ob jects around them. It will make ub their minds acute. The trouble is th that so familiar are the farm scenes m to the country boy that he~ does not s stop to inquire into them. Does fo he know that the familiar ant lives if in colonies alm->st as well regulated b as those of men, so far as pursuing the right to live is concerned ? Thet cc ant will climb a plant to find one of the light green insects that mayj be seen plentifully on the under sides of rose leaves, lie pricks e one of these aphides and obtains aa sort of milk. Ants have workers, jth slaves, aristocrats, queens and sol- u diers. Sir John Lubbock has writ- fr< ten a book on this subject from sil simple patience and observation, uo and what a men so great as he can TI apply himself to is not unworthy ' any or-e's attention. Look ,too, at I Th'omas Edwards, the great Scotch ntrlist. From his boyhood he~ has been investigating the lives and habits of insects. fishes and L birds, and yet he works on a shoe maker's bench for a living. Great gr scientific men consult him. Hugh tb Miller, the great geologist, was'a poor stonecutter. Yet he made geology possible to many who were -not scientific. How few of our boys study botany or pursue inter esting discoveries in the plants around them. Do you know th t * seeds in plants are pr'oducedl only 'fu by the female flower, and then at only by the sprinkling on them of pi the powder or pollen thait the bee . or other insect gets on its wings o frrmn oi.e plant and which it cannot. u help carrying to another ? Bumble v bees and red clover are particular jdr friends of each other. Let a boy gta familiar book on botany and go to work for himself. It is the ar children who have not the fine ap pliances of study who usually digS out the most. Audubon, who be camne the great authority on birds, wasof this kind. Hiowever,hecould i paint well. It is not uninteresting to learn that bright colored birds usually make a nest that conceals c them and lay light eggs, while (lull IC Im colored birds, having no need forb concealment, usually make a more open nest and lay dark eggs. How b many of our children know thew names or the meanings of the earth o and rocks around them, when no c< farming neighhorhood is without in-a teresting specimens? We knew a fair ju lv educated oun~ lady of twenty SIMPLE CURE FOR DYSPEPSIA. ilk and limewater are now fre iently prescribed by physicians cases of dyspepsia and weakness the stomach, and in some cases e said to prove beneficial. Many 1 rsons who think good bread and ilk a great luxury frequently hesi to to eat it, for the reason that e miik will not digest readily; urncss of stomnc-h will often How. But experience proves at linewater and milk are not ay food and medicine at an early riod of life, but also at a later, hen, as in the case of infants, e functions of digestion and as m ilation have been seriously in Lired. A stomach taxed by glut. ny irritated by improper food, flawed by alcohol, enfeebled by sease, or otherwise unfitted for 3 duties-as is shown by the va-1 :>us symptoms attendant upon I digestion, dyspepsia, diarrhoa, rsentery, and fever-will resume work, and do it energetically, an exclusive diet of bread and ilk and limewater. A goblet of w~s milk may have four table oonfuls of linewater added to it ith good effect. The way to ake linewater is simply to pro re a few lumps of unslaked lime, it the lime in a stone jar, add ater until the lime is slaked and about the consistence of thin ean ; the lime settles, leaving e pure and clear limewater at e top. Great care should be' ken not to get the. limewater o strong. Keep to the direction' to the consistency, and when e water rises pour it off without >taining any of the lime. This %ter is also good to apply to trns and scalds. In slaking the ve, take care that none of the Lrticles fly into the eyes. MIXING OR CROSSING INDIAN )RN.-M. L. Baldwin, of Orange- f irg, S. C., submitted the follow g question to the farmers' elub -New York : If I plant sugar rn and common seed corn so as tassel at the same time and cut i the tassel of eitbe: kind, what ill be the result ? A farmer of New Jersey replied at if he cuts off the tassels of all e sweet corn the other, or comn on variety, will cross with the reet, wvhile no sweet corn will be und among theother grain. But, the tassels of the common corn cut off before the pollen is ma red the swee t corn will mix with e common corn, but no common n will be found in the cars of e sweet corn. Differen t varieties corn are mixed or crossed by e pollen of one variety falling i the ends of the silk. There is strand of siin extending from e germ of every kernel to the >per end of the ear. The pollen :m the tassel must fall upon the k and be received as a vital ion is effected between animnals e pollen gives echaracter to the .riety of grain. Let a piece of ither be secured over the end of ear before the pollen has been eived and that car will be des ~ute of grain. On the contrary all the tops be cut off before the ssels appear the pollen will be stroyed and there will be no! -ain on the ears. 1 have testrd is and know it to be a fact.

The Commissioner of Agriculture, in his report for the year 187.5, speaks as follows: "There. can be no doubt of the general adlteration of all malt liquors. In England and other countries, where heavy penalties are imposed, and an increasing vigilance practiced to detect and punish suich frauds, by a system of inspection of all mlalt liquors manufactured before exposed to sale, the practice is very common. How much more in this country, where there arc no- lawvs on the subject, and no officer to carefully ana yze the products of the brewery ? Some ears ago, Professor Mapes, of New York-, analyzed the beer from a dozen different breweries, and all were found adulterated with noxious substances. It is said that the sale of drugs to brewers is a profitable part of the trade. This is perfectly infamous. Coccujus indicus, (fish-berry,) nux vomica, (dogbuttonl, from which strychnine is ob tained,) are some of the delectable substances found in beer! ,These are potent poisons, and the brewer found using them should be droned at once in one of his own vats. Te British Parliament passed a law to pre vent this nefarious business. The following is an extract: 'No druggist, vender of or dealer in drug<, or chemist, or any other person, shall sell or deliver to any licensed brewer, dealer ini or retailer of beer, knowing themn to be such, or shall sell or deliver to any nersonl on account of,or in trust for. any snh' brewer, dealer or retailer, any liquer caled by the name of or sold for coloring, from whatever material tihe same may be made; or any material or preparation other than uniground brown malt, for the darken ing tihe color of worts beer, or any molasses, vitriol, honey, qu:assia, coccolas indicns, grains of paradise, Cuinea popper, or opium, r any extract or preparationl of molamsses, Or an article or pretpairaCion to b)e used ini woris beer for or as a substitute for malt or hope; anl if any druggist shaitoffend in any of these particulars, such preparation, &c., shall be forfeited, and may he seize:1 by any officer of excie, and the person so ofTending shall for feit five hundred poumnds.' "Under this law, very many druggists and brewers were brought to grief, and yet the nracice continues. UTnless the American public are ready to admit the immaculate prity and innocence of American brewers, they must be content, while drinking taeir beer, to cherish the belief that they are at the same time guzzling some narcotic Poison or damaging medicine. In view of the unpre cedented growth of the barley crop; of the great increaIse of the numbe'r of malsters and brewers; of the vast unknown quantites of beer that are drunk in every city and almost every town on the continent, it is the dictate of sound wisdom that the attention of legis lators should be called to the subject of the adulteration of onr malt liquors, and severe penal ties should be inflicted as a preventive."
