AQRIOULTTTHE, Di3*a.s* by Eabthwobub.—Pasteur’s inveeiigationa in respect to splenic fever have shown how grass grown oyer the graves of cattle dead of this disease and bnried even for years is a source of infec tion to animals feeding upon it. His dis covery points to the agency of earthworms in carrying the germs of deadly bacteria from ouried carcasses to living cattle. He obtained earthworms from the soil filling a pit into which the carcasses of animals DOMESTIC. lately delivered upon the HUMOROUS. dead from splenic fever had long before been thrown, and from the intestines of these worms he obtained the means of re producing the disease in its most virulent form by inoculation. ''He showed that the worms by casting out over the surface earth containing the bacteria germs were the ca u ae for their presence upon the veg etation which grew upon the spot, and that animals which ate of this vegetation were as certainly lulled by the germs which they swallowed as were those which re ceived tho same germs through the prick of the inoculator’s needle.” How if one disease may oe communica ted in this way why may not others? The result of these investigations, it seems to me, is of great practical importance. From it we may learn that all animals dying of infectious diseases, cr indeed of diseases not well underatosd, should be buried in places not accessible to healthy cattle, or where the vegetation growing on the graves cannot be eaten by stock. Farmers not infrequently are very jareleta m this regard, burying cattle dying of disease in such places as ere moat oonven’ent, and allow mg stock to range and feed over the graves, 1 have no doubt that many far mers m their experience can now trace the deaths of cattle to this scarce. * xi— Th* Ivy.—The plant of all plants for the house is the ivy. If oue has a piece, a bit only 6 inches long, with tune and pa tience all the rest will folijw. if the plant has roott, plant it in a pot in good soil. If it has not ivots, do the same, and it will soon make roots, tor it is one of the easiest of all things to grow from cuttings. Slow of growth at first, if given larger pots as the roots require, it will in time run to be trained over the window frame,up the cor ner of the room and along the ''ormces, over picture frames and everywhere, and make a drapery so beautiful that no one will ever think of the pattern of the wc.ll paper, Aqkiculttre occupies nearly half the population of this countrr. No other in dustry compaics with it in extent of ope rations, capital invested, rapidity of de velopment or increment to the national wealth. This industry teeds 50,(MX*,000 people at home, besides contributing fully four-fifths of the annual exports, it averts i amines in the Old World, pays off our national debt, stimulates ail other indus tries and gives prosperity to every com munity. Yet, with all this wealth and power and industry, the farming classes exercise less influence in legislation than any other class. In a clinical lecture lately at the Pennsylvania Hospital artificial feeding of infants, Dr. Arthur V. Meigs described a food which he has devised and will. <vni h, he says, he has met with good success in many cases of defeotive nutrition. It contains the same elements as are found in human milk and in more nearly the same pro portions than any other food heretofore recommended. This consists of two parts of cream, one of milk, two of lime water and three parts of a solution of milk sugar of the strength of 17| drachms to the pint of water. The milk to be used should be good ordinary cow’s milk, and not the very rich milk of Jersey or other high-bred stock, and the cream in the same way should be such as is usually sold in cities, and not too rich, containing about 16 or 17 per cent, of fat. The quantity of. this food taken by a new-born infant should be two or three fluid ounces every two hours, and if it thrives it will soon take as much as a gill every two hours. The beat way to prepare and use this food is to order five or six packages of milk sugar, containing 17} draems each; the contents of one of these to be dis solved in a pint of water, and each time the child is to be fed let these be mixed together and then warmed three table spoonfuls of the sugar solution, two of lime water, two of cream and one of milk. This makes about a gill, and as much of it as the child does not take shouid.be thrown out and a fresh mix ture made for the next feeding. ‘ The eolation of sugar should be kept in a cool place and at ouoe thrown away if it sours, as occurs if kept more than a day or two in warm weather. The dry su gar keeps indefinitely and is easily dissolved in warm water. A pint bottle should be kept for the purpose of con taining the solution, to serve also as a measure of the quantity of water to be used with each package dissolved and also to save further measuring. ItBMCt’ED FRO.U DEATH. William J. Coughlin, of Somerville, Mass., eaye- in the fan of 1876, 1 was taken with blskdiuo or fHE i,uno*. followed by a severe cough. I lost My appeUte and flesh, and was confined to ay bed. In 18771 was admitted to the Hospital. The dor ton said I had a hole in my lung as big as a half dollar. At one time a report went around that I was dead, I gave up hope, but a friend told me of DB. WIL LIAM HALL'S BALSAM FOB THB LOTOS. I got a bottle, when to my surprise, I commenced to feel better, and to-day I fael better than for three years past. BAKER'S PAIN PANACEA cures pain in Man or Beast. For use externally or internally. A boy bronght a handsome boquet and a little box addressed ‘ To seat No. 76 east side of the Capitol,” to the Sen ate Chandler at Washington the other day. The seat of Senator <4 is No. 00, although it is on the west side. The Senator denied all knowledge of the matter, but at the so- Hcitation of the boy opened the box. It was found to contain a nice little flask of whisky and a note reading: “My Darling—Onr meeting was so happy.” The Senator dosed the box and told the page to take “the 'thing away.” He knew nothing about it. The boy carried the box into the House of Rep resentatives, and seat No. 00 was found to belong to N Congressman wba was equally emphatic in tus deni als. There are few who have snob faith in Congressional innocence as not to believe that a Congressman was fonnd willing to give the missive a welcome. •^“In choosing allies, look to their power as well as lo their will to aid you.” In choosing a remedy for bowel, liver and kidney diseases, try Kidney-Wort, and you will never regret it.

Out of a great many experiments which I have made, 1 have never known the ad dition of nitrogen to a fertilizer to increase the crop so much as it increased the cost, with possibly one cwption, on potatoes, and that may possibly have been owing to some other cause. Last season I had about forty experimental plots m corn, po tatoes and cucumbers, including Prof. At water’s special nitrogen set, on corn, which . g 1 am repeating with potatoes on the same addition of nitrogenous substances increase the crop enough to pay for their addition al cost. The only beet-sugar manufactory that is now ui successful operation in the United Hlates is he Alvaredo factory in Califor nia, which has now been doing a paying business for three years, and shows no signs of giving out. During the season ending in May, it made 1.891,688 pounds of refined sugar, and 24,167 pounds of crude besides 111,775 gallons of molasses, from 11,280 tons of beets. The average cost of the beets to the factory was $2 23 per ton, and the growers were satisfied with the price. Dresbino the Boys.—It is a problem with some mothers how to dress the hoys warm enough without making their clothing burdensome to them. All chil dren now are supposed to wear knit wrappers and drawers; then long stock ings, of the heavier grades of yarn, and thick shoes clothe the lower limbs. For boys from 5 to 8 or 9 it is a good plan to utilize their outgrown blouses of flannel. Rip out the pleats and make plain shirt waists; at the side seams the buttons which hold their stocking sup porters can be securely fastened. Ad ditional buttons cau be put on at the pack and front and the knit drawers be buttoned to his waist. With a coat of ordinary thickness, closed to the throat, the chest will bo sufficiently promoted. Pure cod liver oil. from selected livers, •n the seashore, by OasweU, Hazard & Co., xv. Y.

In keeping sheep over winter they will do very well on coarse hay and straw, pro vided they are given a feeding of oats and corn at least once a day. The ewes that are expected to give the early lambs should be liberally fed, while those coming later on should be separated and treated in the same manner later in the season. What is desired in a good ewe is plenty of milk lor the lamb. There is no doubt whatever that as the world grows older, the varieties of animals diminish in numbers, those of the larger bize being gradually exterminated, such for instance as the elephant, hippopotamus and rhinocerus. Not one of the sixteen species of horses fsund in the geological deposits of this continent, when white men flrsi settled here, is now in existence.

The ammonia thus produced is rapidly absorbed by the leather, and the result is said to be tbe same as if it was saturated with strong lye. It has the ef fect of rotting the leather and harness thus exposed, and will consequently remain sound a comparatively brief time. The frequent mysterious burning of hay-ricks and barns is believed m many instances to be due to wasp’s nests, which are ignited by spontaneous combustion. The chemical action produced by heat on the wax causes it to ignite with the papery formation with which it is iurrounded.and the hay or dry shingles of a barn could thus readily use the.
