I ~agrTcIjltural TOPICS OP INTI3RKST RKLATlVli TO FARM AND GAKDE-V SHas<> for Fattening. The latest comparative trial of silage in the fattening of cattle by the Royal Agricultural Society is recorded by l)r. Voek'ker in the new number of the so- | ciety's Jo urn d. From the same meadow | hay and silage were made, the grass for { hay weighing 13 tons 7 hundredweight, I and that for silage a few pounds under I 14 tons hundredweight Twelve bill-' locks were div.ded into two equal lots, | one to be fed on hay a:;d the other on 1 silage, with the addition of :> poumls o! cotton caUe and "> pound* of maize mini! for each bi:l!o( k ]>er day in both lots, and water at will. After eighty-four days' feeding, all the hay having been j consumed, the total increase in live weight of the six bullocks fed on hav J was flSO pounds, or l.l'G pounds per head per day, while that of the six led j on silage was 9!t!) pounds, or l.i>8 pounds per head per day. j As there was originally about 15 hun- j d red weight more grass for the hay thin ' for the silage, and enough of the latter | remained after the hay" had'been con-j sumed to feed the six bullocks for a few j days, it appear- that, with a considerably smaller consumption of grass, the ani- | mals fed on silage made a slightly greater 1 gain in live weight. The silage in this ' case was sour, but of very go >d quality. ! Dr. Voelcker also gives the results of an j experiment witnessed by him in which j silage intended to be sweet, but contain- i ing nearly as much acid as that used in 1 the other experiment, was tried again-.t hay from the same meadow with equal quantities of other foods. In this case the gain in live weight was l.G pounds per head per day among four bullocks fed on silage, against 1..J pounds among four fed on hay. Dchorninf; Cattle. The subject of dehorning vicious Lu !> has received much attention lately i:i agricultural papers, and a correspondent of the hui'tl Xlw Yorker gives j-oine valuable advice on the subject. INsays: "After about seven months' trial I can add my testimony to the many who have alre.dy recommended tlw practice. I think the danger to the animals " * ? - 1 1 t amounts to norniug. 1 nave uenorneu about eighty cows and yearlings. 1 have tried IlaafTs saw. It is good, but', a small butcher's spring back .-aw, costing from to seventy-five cents, is good enougk? and the good wife will be . glad to have it to cut beef b mvs when not in use on the horn?. "The bulls and cows are not fastened in the surne way. If the horn is cut in the right place there will be very little bleeding. There will be no stub horn, but there will be a good looking rnuley that ; will be harmless in the future. I am ' quite cure mat uu uiiu wm yivv up mv practice who once begins. J)o not be afraid of cutting too closc. If yearlings or young stock one must cut half an inch into the skin. There is no loss of appetite and but little loss of milk for a ,1 couple of milkings. After that I am satisfied there will be a gain in milk and ' butter, because the cows cannot harass ;1 each other, and everything that helps to ;1 make a quiet aud "cntle herd increases I the yield of milk ar.a butter. "I allow no dogs about my cows, and they are never struck a blow in the : stable harder than a little tap with the bare hand to make tbem stand over. If that is not enough I turn my back to- j ward them, and with the hip9 give them ! : a shove over. I used to think a stable ! ; could not be managed without more or 1 less kicks, milkstool whacks, club and ' profanity. A year and a h ilf of Votal j abstinence,' and a stable as quiet as a parlor, have convinced me that, while , kinduess will not 'cure all.' we have not oue-tenth part of the trouble we did , have, while wc have more milk and but-; , ter. Let any oue who doubt, cut off the 1 horns to begin with, and then 'reform themselves' und try the new plan awhile, and I believe they will never allow horns or blows in their barns agaiU." How to Get. Rid of Weeds. Professor W. J. Bealesays in "Grasses of North America:" There are two things to be done. First, prevent! < lurtherseeding and the further introduc- j tion of seeds; second, destroy the seeds j and plants now in the soil. : < Farmers cannot be too careful about | the source of gross seel. Weeds of ^ some of the worst types arc thus tlis- j tributed. "Where it is possible, it is bet- , ter and safer to grow one's own seed, or procure it of some thorough, careful i farmer near home. The older the country, ; ; as a rule, the more likely it is to furnish : J ox-eye daisy, yarrow, rib-grass and other ' tenacious and troublesome weeds. ! Foul seed is dear even sus a gift. It is cheaper to pay triple price for clean seed ! liia.j IU uu wiui uit uuuuiu wi ; fctting rid of the weeds intro lueed. !' ome of the seed should be spread out ' on a table in a very thin layer to aid 1 in the discovery of the weeds, which are | allowed otherwise to escape no:iee. Sieves and fans may remove some kinds entirely. Many sorts of seeds, especially ! the ^mnll ones, will pass undigested and ; unharmed through the digestive organs of horses and cattle. An ordinary com i post heap docs not kill all unless every portion is carefully turned in and heated. ! In certain oases one or more hoed crop*-1 may be rawed on the land thoroughly 6ummer fallowed. Pastures and mea-. dows should always be looked over carefully, and the weeds dug or pulled be-! fore the seeds are ripe, or taken oil' the] ground if tha seeds arc rij>c. Sheep! must be kept fiom pastures until sticks, | : mmiI Vmnnil u tjiiifrni' Ivtirdnrk anil llw; like have been removed. !< The large weeds, like yarrow and bitter ,: do k, parsnip ?ud carrot, m;iy be lc!t ; until the growing stalk has acquired ! ?omo strength. Then on someday when j the soil is soft, and before the seeds have ' dropped, go over the tie Id with a spade or a stout spud, thrusting it down perpendicularly within a couple of inches of j the plant. Take the stalk with one hand near the root, and with the other piv it loose. In thi< way no roots are left be-1 low the 8urf:ire to .'.pro-it and send up a new crop. Never cut off the tops of such weeds leaving the roots in the ground. By the following process the writer has found no troub e in kill ng quack giass, whether the >casoa be wet or dry, the soil sand or clay, drained or undrained. Plow it late in autumn, and as soon as a team can be put on the ground in the spring run over it with a cultivator every three or four d*ys. Never allow a leaf to show itself, for then it Wgins to re cuperate. Ky the middle of June every vestige has disappeared. Further south than Central Mich gan.no doubt it wo ild disappear early. To harrow and rake up the roots is a waste of labor. If during its growing season the green top? are k? pt out of sight the plants will die. Thorough work, eternal vigilance, is the only way pf keeping the npper hand of weeds. Farm and Garden Nates. , Per* niilk St ?Jj| o'clock to-dav, seven I to-morrow, aod half-past seven the d?y after.

A crop of fifty bushels of large merchantable potatoes from a single acre is of more value than a crop of a hundred bushel? from three acres with few that arc merchantable.

This is an excellent preventive of hen lice. *rovide wa'.er for all stock, and have a keg of water near the apiary with a cloth over it, upon which the bees may light and suck the water, which they need, without danger of drowning. Use every precaution to avoTd fire. Have a convenient peg for each lantern in use in the barn, and never place a light where it may accidentally set fire. Be careful in leaving hot ashes around. Hogs are plagued with two kinds of "cholera,'' one affecting the bowels and the other the lung?. one is really the hog cholera, the other is the swim? i pl:ig?ii?. Sometime-! the hog has both | di-cas s at one time. As a rule, the farmer who rarrie? the uio>t gras* on his farm produces the iii'is: ?tock. And those countries which l>r .d tca the most stock per acre of land cultivated are generally the richest in agricultural resouices. A curious estimate is made of corn, viz: Enough corn is usually grown each year in this country to allow each inhabitant one bu-liel a week?more than enough to supply all the food re juiicd for fifty thousand people, but the larger portion of corn is used by live stock, and thus converted into me.it. Soot is a very valuable fertilizer, but it is much better to apply to moist, cool land than to that which is dry and warm. 1; absorbs heat, and appropriates moisture from the oil. A small quantity ol soot placed in hills of melons, squashet and pumpkins will cause them to grow rapidly. It also kills many insects. Professor Storer says a ration of thirty pounds of pumpkin per cow daily will increase the flow and improve tho quality of milk. More than this quantity t-hou'd not be fed. Pumpkins are a very cheap food, as a couple of tons can ? x- i1._ ll... I re.Klliy DC grown iu iuc uurc mui mu j com crop. The seeds of the pumpkin ought to be removed before feeding. It has been claimed that trees growing from the pit, and not transplanted, | live much longer than those which arc removed wlum young to their permanent location. iSome peach growers are therefore planting the pits where they wish the trees to grow, and bedding the tocks on the ground, where they are to remain.

Ducks are also good until three years. A turkey is in lier prime at five, and a goose at twenty years of age. A lady who claims to have had twenty years' success offers this recipe in thu Ohio Fanner, for keeping eggs: Take good fresh eggs and rub them over with melted lard: thus closing the pores in the Sshell. Then put a layer of oats or bran in a box and a layer of eggs, totting them on the small end and not allowing ihein to touch each other, separating them by oats or bran. In this way fill the box and the eggs will keep fresh. Trees set last spring will be greatly benefited by a mu ch of straw manure, applied after the earth has fro 'en hard. r. 4l.ni ???.l il J?I?:WIIIO uiai ii'|iv4ivu uwiouuij anu licprcssing of the soil, c.iuscd by alternate freezing and thawing, which is so iniurons to the young roots. The material should not be allowed to lie in contact with the stem* of the trees, lest mice, under its shelter, gnaw the bark. A. good plan is to tir-t draw a cone of earth fifteen inches high around the stem, then mulch around the base of the cone. Say* the /'Via tin J Gordon: ''We wish the reader would plant the grai:e in every vacant spice around the home place and farm buildings. Allow them togrow on the sunny sideof the ho ise or barn, to run over all neglected trees, or hide the form of some too familiar rock. to shade some walk or sunny spot, or gro v and cover an ornamental trcbis.

Many farmers are very careless about the mangers from which their horses feed. They should be kept clean by tlu removal of ilust and all other extraneous matter. Every morning all the refuse, dust and uneaten hay, or remains of other iee?, suomu or cicanscu 110m uie mangers and placed in the bapnyardor added to the compost heap. In the former i ase the cows will pick it over and eat whatever is of value. If clover hay is fed to horses there will he a great deal of dust from it, and t.'rs in a manger is often a cause of the heaves. There are not so many good plowmen now as formerly, in part, doubtless, aresuit of using the sulky plow,with whir h extra skill in plow u;r d > s not count Another reason, probably, is that few hired men now understand the art of set tiu:x a plow bo that it will run easily for bo h teaman:! holder. The plow should run level, tho point neither dig^in;; downwards nor turning up. It is but the work of a minute to set the plow right for one who understands the business. Good plowing is an art; bad luck to the country should it become one of the lost arts. Nobleman and Plebeian.

A very delicate breakfast for an invalid j is the following: Take some rice that \ has been boiled the day b fore, and set away in a flat dish until morning. Cut in slices; brush each slicc over with : melted butter; slightly grease the broil- J er, and toast each slice ?< / a slow fire to a delicate brown. Butter the slices aud | serve with a poached egg on top. ? Pudding Worth Eating. There are rice puddings and rice pud clings. The old-fashioned one, ji inaae | in the right way is not to be "sncc/ed at.:' The following one is vouched for I by Mrs. J'orer, principal of the I'bila- i dolphin cooking school. Add two heap- | ing tablespoonfuls of washed rice, same j quantity of sugar, a quarter of a grated j nutmeg, and a half cup of raisins to a j quart of new milk; place it in a moder- | ate oven and cook slowly for about two ' hours, stirring every fifteen minutes for j the first hour and a half. The last half hour the oven should be sufficiently hot to form a thin, papery crust of a deep brown shade on the top. The pudding I when done should be creamy, not solid. ( Potato Patties. A nicc way to make little potato patties is to grate three-quarters of a pound of mealy potatoes to a line flour, moisten with a little milk and add two ounces of j butter beaten to a cream, lioil half a piut of milk and stir it boiling into the potatoes, continuing to stir it over the lire to a smooth paste. Take it oil and miv | in two well beaten oggs. Let the j whole cool; beat it up with the yolks of four eggs; whip the whites to a snow and .-tir it gently into the buttrr. .But tcr small patty pans and sift grated bread over to line them as with a crust.

The common cause of (lie smelling of lamps is.the clogging of th'j liny airholes | at tiicbase of the burner under the cap, j and the crusting on the inside of the c ap. i Ti.e airholes may be clear for a little j while by washing the burner in hot soap ; suds, but this will have no ellect upon j the crust in the cap. it will be as linn as i ever. To look at the iuside of the cap j there doesn't seem to be anything there, | for the cru?t is burnt on to the brass so ! evenly and smoothly that it is, to all ap- j pcarnnces, a part ot the rap. To clean the burner thoroughl}', put it i in old tin which can be kept for this I kind of work, cover with water, throw in a lump of washing soda about the size i of a walnut, put on the stove and let all j boil together about, ten minutes. Ite- i move the burner from the water and | wipe dry with an old cloth or paper. If ; it has been neglected for any length of i time, on the inside of the cap will be found the crust so softened that a slight rubbing with a cloth will remove it. When thoroughly dried the burner will be nearly as clean and nice as when Orst taken from the store. 'The soda very oiteu turns the brass to ! a dark le id color, giving it an antic)uc I look, which is likea by some; but if the | Kmoo ia rtmfamift fhic mnv hr> !

If burners are cleaned I in this way once every two weeks, which j is not too often, they will not get out of j order as ensily and will last a great deal , longer, besides insuring a bright, clear ' light, free from any offensive odor. r. Try and arrange the work so as to j clean the lrtmps the first thing in tlio ] morning after the breakfast dishes have j been washed and put away, for if they j are left until afternoon, tncyare very apt j to be forgotten, or, if remembered, they I get a careless, hurried < leaning. Have a j pair of scissors especially for trimming the wicks, and have them sharp. I'ull 8 issors are never for this work. Lift up the cap and cut olf the wick close to the Hat tube through which it passes, and it will be sure to be straight; then turn up the wick and cut a small piece from each comer, which when the lamp is Ik I will give a broad, round-cornered tiame. It is claimed by some that chimneys washed in soapsuds break easier tlmn | those washed in clean watr-r. To obviate this, if washed in warm soapsuds, rinse iu clear water and their w'll be no danger of their breaking. After rinsing,let drain for a little while, then wipe with a soft I cloth or a piece of newspaper. Once in I a while wash out the inside of the bowl ! of the lamp with warm soapsuds to clcar it of the sediment of the oil that settles at the bottom. When trimmed and filled, wipe well, put on the chimney and turn down the wick just below the top of the fiat tube. It is by leaving the wick above this that causes that little circle of oil around the cap, and which very often flows down the outside of the bowl, necessitating a willing l>eforc being lit. When lighting the lamp see that the wick is up only a short distance above the tube. Put on the chimney and let the glass get heated gradually before turning it up to its full height. If cloths nre used to wipe tlio lamps : they must of a nc essity be kept in a closo phic", and are in danger at any time of tiring the house. Many of the fires with origin unknown were, no doulit, due to carefully concealed lamp cloths. It is better to use old newspaper for this work, which is cleaner aud nicer than cloths.?Xcic York Noes. Nationality in Beards. An observant friend who bad examined a collection of faces representing a large number of the public men in tne united states, made tne iouowing ] general conclus ons in regard to national j types in the cutting of the beard, which contain more than a grain of truth. I "The simple mustache, with the rest of j the face clean shaven, is the prevailing Americau type," he said. "'Hie old-time Yankee chin-wliisk.'ir, 1 ke that of the tradition il Uncle Sam, is no longer the national cut. In the ianie way the old French type of the imperial, or heavy j mustache and long goatee, has given way in I ranee 1o the present type of a closecut full heard, trimmed to double points on the chin. The German and Russian national types are heavy full beards, piited at the middle of the chin. The Knglish type is a small, short-cropped mustache, with small square sidegrowths. The general south European type of Spain or Italy is either an entirely clear-shaven face or else a very small mustache find goatee crowded close about the mouth.?Boston Advertiser. ????? i For a Cold in the Head.

' J vv'_ , ^ _ -iA:. The Nature of Diamonds. The exact mode of formation of diamonds is one of nature's secrets, for though scientists have been able to understand the chemical nature of the diamond by analysis, the reverse process, its manufacture by synthesis, has thus far been far beyond their skill. We know what a diamond is^ but how nature makes it the careful dame has not yet permitted us to learn. The diamond is of the simplest chemical composition, being pure carbon. Charcoal is pure carbon also, but the secret process by which nature rearranges the atnms of the black, lusterless charcoal into the form of the flashing diamond, the most perfect speci men of matter, is one that even long hope on the part of chemists, stimulated by the honor of great gains, has not been able to discover. Nor is it certainly known from what department nature takes the diamond-making material. It is generally supposcl that it is furnished by vegetable charcoal, which undergoes a pecuTar process of decomposition and crystallization, but it has also been conjectured that the carbonic acid, shut up from remote periods in the calcareous rocks, may have solidified in this perfect form. Sir David Brewster, from a study of the polarization of light in the minute cavities of the diamond, has concluded that the substance was once in a soft state, and, by the action of an expanding gas or fluid within, its very small cavities, which retract the li<rht to such a remarkable degree, are formed. He regards it as certain that the original softness o" the diamond was not caused by either solvents or heat, aud therefore concludes that the d amend, like amber, is a vegetable substance slowly crystallised iuto it* present form. ?
