^ 1 II A.uaiOULiTUBS. Damaged Cbops is Silos.—A crop of cats ruined by the vet season was saved by ensJag'ng it, the oat sheaves bating been in a thoroughly >dden condition and the corn in them so generally sprouted that apparently all was worth less except for manure. The process of ensilage consisted in putting the oata in a silo or pit, and adding about 300 pounds of salt to 13 tons of the green fodder. When the pit was subsequently opened after having been dosed nearly 18 weeks, the temperature was found to be 110 degiees, the mass was in food condition, giving a fragrant odor, and was readily eaten by horses and cattle. The theory of the process is, that when green fodder is placed in a water-tight pit under pressure, heat is generated and fermentation ensues. The oxygen in the interstitial air is speedily absor bed and its place taken by carbonic acid gas, so that the fermentation and its ac companying heat are arrested m the mass of closely-packed fodeer immersed in a bath of carbonic acid, just as a lighted candle extinguishes itself in a bath of choke-damp of its own making when burned in a closed vessel. Of course the more perfectly air-tight the silo is. the more perfectly will its con tents be preserved. The pit should be cemented so as to be water-proof. The pride of the farmer should be in his fields. In their beauty, in their or der, in their product he should place /he gratification of his hnmble and hon orable ambition, says a contemporary. This is all very well as far as it goe^, but we would add: The pride of the farmer should be in bis wife and child ren—in their healtn and culture, men tal and social. A farmer with a family of seven, eight or ten children, well bred, and trained up, has something to be proud of, and that should gratify an honorable amb tion. The Drover a Journal says that with rll the dangers Horn disease, hog-rais ing, though it requires more labor, is really the most profitable business which farmers can engage in where coin is a sure crop. It is surprising, also, how mar y tanners there are who seem to wholly ignore the fact that any other food than dry corn is suitable for swine when it is within their power to keep such stock half or two-tnirds of the year on food not nearly so expen sive. It has been discovered that there is less potash in the leaves of dishased grapevines than in healthy specimens. The lack of potash is made up by an excess of lime. It is possible that lack of mineral fertilizers may be the cause of many diseases of trees and other plants, and that farmers and gardeners may yet have to consult the vegetable and gram doctor. Potatoes —Tne Colorado beetle is the leading enemy to the potato. It can be success! ully fought with Pans gieen or London purple, if the poison is usid as soon as the young “worms” make their appearance. The ground must be well stirred and kept free cl w eeds, and the crop dug early to avoid the wet rot. Sheip that aie dropping their lambs require close attention; the least neg hotolten piovts fatal. While sheep used protection trom cold storms and winds they will not bear confinement as well as many other annnals;they should tbereiore be provided with a spacious shed, open to the south, where they can stand in the sun and have good air, and jet be piotected from cold winds in fair weather and kept dry during storms. Soaking Oats—An experienced far mer sajs that oats should be soaked sufficiently to swell before feeding them to stock. When soaked, the husk is partly torn away, and facility of diges tion increased. Poultry will carefully pick our the soaked grains from the dry when allowed a preference in the matter. The Best.—A writer recommends as the btst feililizer for fruits aud cereal crops a mixture of finely-ground Iresh t ones aud good wood-ashes—six barrels of the former and twelve of the latter,to Le well mixed together on a shed four, adding during the mixing twenty buck ets of water and one barrel of gypsum or plaster. Many horses are actually killed by kindness. Letting them stand in the stable from one week’s end to another without any exercise ot any kind, be cause they might hart themselves if let run loose, is very injurious. To keep them in tbe right condition it is necessary that they be exercised every day. A tbeb is to be grafted when it is of a poor kind, and we wish to change the kind of trait it bears. If the tree is very large it is well to graft only the lower tnird of the branches the first year. The best time for appln and pear trees is just as the buds are swel ling. An extensive cattle and poultry raiser in Iowa states that he has no trouble with vermin on his beasts and birds when they have a ehance to“dust than- ^ selves” and have an opportunity to eat * onions once a w eek. Sas safe as .— Sassafras bushes may be eradicated by plowing deep and harrow ing. This will bring the roots to tbe surface. Plant corn or potatoes, and keep the crop well hoed to kill any sprouts that n ay appear. Two years of this treatment will thoroughly de stroy them. The Rose Slug.—There does not seem to be any feasible way of getting rid of the rose-bug except by hand picking. The rose-slug is another de predator that should be kept under by dusting the plants with powdered helle bore. Potatoes do better in a cool soil than in one that is quite warm. It is, ac cordingly, better to plant them on laud that inclines toward the north, so that they wilt not be exposed to the fall force of the sun’s rays. Fabm experiences are worth nothing unless Irom them we learn how we can make a failure, or how w.e we-e able to succeed. Hence the “double lioxr” is what is needed to make tilings clear. The great disadvantage of cold stor age comes trom the fact that fruit thus retarded mu-t be used as soon as taken out. The Cow.—A few murates with the card or curry com l> on a cow at this sea son improves her appearance and increa ses her comfort DOMESTIC. Refreshing fob the Sick Room — There is a French story that daring the plague at Marseilles a band of robbers ph ndered tbe dying and the dead with out injury to themselves. They were imprisoned, tried and ooudemmed to die, but were pardoned on condition of disclosing the secret whereby they could, with impunity, ransack booses infected with the terrible scourge. They gave tbe following recipe, which makes a delicious and refreshing wash for the sick room: Take of rosemary, wormwood, lavender, rue, sage aud mint, a large handful of each. Place iq a stone jar, and tarn over it one gallon of strong vinegar, cover closely and keep near the fire for four days; then strain and add one ounce of powdered camphor gum. Bottle and keep tightly corked. It is very aromatic, cooling and refreshing in the sick room, and is of great value to norses The Lateit Bonanza in California. Bikbeb, Cal —Mr. Thomas P.

These may be manufactured by almost any woman. Pieces of dry goods boxes will do for the shelf; iron brackets, that cost but a trifle, and are strong, can be purchased before you leave home. If tills shelf is in the sitting- room for an ornamental lambrequin, if your surroundings are extremely simple and plain, brown paper, or wbitc, or cream-colored holland may be used, aud this may be gayly decorated by pinning or catching with needle and thread tome of the wild vines that are found in the woods, or terns may be pressed for this purpose, and a border made of them* Sturgeon Steaks, Fried.—After the fish is skinned, washed aud sliced, dry it on a clean cloth; beat two eggs smooth, mix together a pint of fine dry bread or cracker crumbs, a level tea spoonful of salt, half a saltspoonful of pepper, half a cupful of chopped parsley and a ta leapoonful ot chopped onion.

Weil, you know the oyster lives on staff that runs down the riven and into the sea—eatable driftwood, as it were. When there’s no rain the riv en are low, the currents are sluggish, there is not so much stuff washed into the streams, and poor Mr. Oyster finds hard picking. But irhen there’s heavy rains, then the rivers are high and fnU of food for enr friend,' and he sits with his month open and jnst eats and drinks his fill, and gets fat and sanoy.

The president of a defun a savings bank of Chicago got into a hack and rode to tbe central depot yesterday.

According to the report of the shell fish commission in ConnecticQt, there are some 9 .>,500 acree of oyster-grounds under cultivation and under the juris diction of tbe States A new mode of cultivation, or capture of spat for seed on muddy bottoms has been invented at Groton. Birch trees about twenty feet in height, and three or four inches in diameter at the bult, are thrust about three feet into the mud, with the tops under the surface of the lowest water, and inclined at an angle of some 45 de grees with the current. The floating spat attaches itself to the branches and grows rapidly; a single bosh affording, in a few months, five to fifteen bushels of seed-oysters, none of which would have survived settling on tne mnddy bottom. An absurd claim was made that these submerged bashes produced scarlet fever and diphtheria, and many have been destroyed; bnt the plan has recently received legal recognition,and, with proper effort, can be made to pro duce millions of bushels of oysters where is now only waste ground.
