I The little bodies called eye-stones are really portions of the cohering of certain shell-fish. They are placed at the opening of the shell, and serve to close the enhance when the animal draws itself within. They are of various kinds, but > those used as eye-stones are hard, stony bodies, about the size of split peas, onethird to one-sixth of an inch in diameter, ' a little longer than broad, having on< Surface plane and the other convex. When they have been worn by th? action of the sea they are very smooth and shining, but in their natural stat* the convex surface is covered wun nne markings. They have then a brownisl color in the centre, shading off to white at the margin. Like other shells, the] are composed of carbonate of lime. When placed in a weak acid, such at vinegar, a chemical change takes place, carbonate acid gas is given off, and it its escape produces the movements whicl are popularly supposed to show that th< tetone is "alive." When one of these-stones is placed under the eyelid, at the outer corner, th? natural movements of the lid in winking jrash it gradually toward the inner side, ?*~<3 -rr-Vior, if. rnmes in contact with tht E <111U flilVU av _ I mote which is causing the irritation, thij is carried along and finally expelled witi I^Jt.

If trees arc properly and intelligently managed, they will never need severe pruning. Our most carcful fruit-growers prune with thumb ?^nd finger, pinching back shoots that are certain to be in way when they grow a little further. When it is necessary to prune large limbs do it before the sap has started, and at once cover the surface with paint, to protect the wound from the air. After the sap has started the paint will not adhere. If grafting wax is used it is stili better, as this will adhere until the tree grows new bark entirely over the wouud.?American Cultivator.

Breaking the hardened crust and making a fine, mellow surface among the plants had obviously an excellent effect; the heads of wheat were longer than usual, and the increase was estimated at five bushels more per acre than unharrowcd wheat. The last harrowing was accompanied with the sowing of cloverseed, which succeeded well and produced good growth. At the last harrowing the harrow was passed over the wheat twice, the first before sowing the clover-seed, the last after the operation. Any slanttooth harrow, with numerous fine teeth, will answer. The teeth need not be sharp, provided they are sufficiently so to mellow the crust; generally, however, the sharper the better.?New York Tribune. COKKANTS. At the twenty-third meeting ot the Minnesota Horticultural Society a paper was read on currant culture by Dr. JI. ' M. Frisselle, who has a plantation of one thousand bushels in full bearing. The Doctor said that the secret of growing j currants at a profit was in feeding them ; abundantly with cow manure and ashes, and giving them absolutely clean culture. In growing currants for the market it was recommended that they be planted on nearly level ground, of deep rich soil, well broken and finally pulverized. The j planting should be six feet apart each j way, so as to give room for horse culti| vation and pleuiy of air and light. The j essayist said that it was a delusion to j think that this fruit could be successfully ! grown amid grass, weeds, clover or buri docks, or when crowded along a stone j wall or a rail fence; that it needed i plenty of elbow room, air and light, and as much fertilizing material as one has a mind to give. With regard to marketing, the Doctor urged that the fruit be gathered free from leaves, without bruising, put in clean, covered baskets holding no more than eight pounds, or onefifth of a bushel. He said that it would be difficult to glut the market with clean, handsome, well cjrown fruit. XEEriNG FOWLS. It is a noteworthy fact that the men who have attained prominence, and been most successful pecuniarily in poultry breeding, commenced with one variety; and not till that was thoroughly mastered, and the fine points of mating and matching for exhibition satisfactorily adjusted, did they branch out into the cultivation of other varieties. It is all very well to be known as a breeder of several or many different varieties of fowls, but it is far better to be well known as an eminently successful breeder of one variety than an indifferent breeder of many. No one cause has affected the permanent retirement from the business of poultry breediug of so many who have started with high hopes and full confidence of success as the mania for attempting too much in the beginning. Whether iv:~ *1 u tuts 13 IUU icauii. m cuv icuucauj w/icpxv* expansion, so prevalent in all American business, or the engrossing nature of the pursuit, which leads its devotees, particularly those who have just caught the infection, and have not settled down to steady work, to launch out into every new branch which hits their taste, is a matte* which affects the result in no way. The fact remains that too much poultry work is overdone as to quantity and underdone as to quality.?Poultry Yard. FIGCRE- OP SHEEP FEEDING. We put in ninety-one "mature wethers" weighing seventy-one pounds each; fed, for grain, corn and oats, mixed at rate of four bushels corn to one bushel oats; fed part of the time cornstalks and Unv* KoonrvArlo on/1 uay auci uaicij , auu vuvu ytau^ivuij stalks; always feed by daylight and only twice a day. Keep clean water and salt by them, and keep well bedded. Result: Fed the same sheep eighty days, drove over three miles before weighing; weight, 91 2-3 pounds, an average gain of 21 2-3 pounds per head, and this, too, on & small tSass of sheep. Farmers here who have tried "fattening sheep on straw and grain alone" do not get near the gain others around them get who do not feed it. The sheep require enough more grain to offset the difference in value between straw and cornstalks, hay and beanpods; in lact, I doubt very much its being profitable to feed clean straw under any circumstances. Feeding timothy is very unprofitable, as sheep do much better on clover, .and the price is $2 per ton less. Either one is unprofitable to feed exclusively, as cornstalks and beanpods ; fed alternately .are much cheaper, and | just as good;as, if not better than, clear i hay. One item, of profit feeders consider important, ntiaely, converting coarse fodder, straw end grain into the best manure. Sheep feeding to be profitable iihould be crowded, to its utmost limit, but sixty days is lose time than sheep can be made fit for market, unless they arc weli on their greiu and in thriving conditioe.; eighty or cinetj days is usually short enough time to fted for proC.f.? Ne>e Fs- L Tribute. BOXES AN3 CRATES. Those rho ship vegetables and fruit io city markets arc well aware how much neat packages help the tale of their contents. As those who have tried it declare, it is ofv?n more profitable to take tkoir truck and fruit to a small place, especially if it ha a manufacturing town, thau to New York or other large markets. It is often the case that a farmer h&s a bushel or two of peat or some other truck", or a few quarts of currants or other smali fruits, which he purpose# .to take to the neur-by town to dispose of, Not being accustomed to market such articles regy. arly,vjey present a strange sight as he sefs out, a peck of peas at the bottom of a bushel basket that is none too clean; a quart of currants hidden in a five-quart pail that has seen better days; a few early beets, an after-thought, are thrown into the bottom of the wagon, without taking the trouble to wash or bunch them. It can be but little wonder that the stuff taken in this miscellaneous mariner is slow of sale. Farmers who live near cities or villages will find it to their interest to work into "farm gardening," and raise perishable crops, which bring high prices, if they can find a near market. Spinach is such a crop, that an acre of it, properly managed, brings more ready cash than comes to the farmer during the whole summer. Farmers who own the land they till should plant an asparagus bed, or rather field, which, in the third year, and every spring thereafter, will bring in a handsome cash return. But our object was to suggest that those farmers who occasionally market truck, should provide themselves with a sufficient number of cratcs and boxes, in ' which to take their stuff in a neat and attractive manner; these packages to be kept in good order, and to be used for no other purpose whatever. The crate used by those who ship truck to a distance is one that holds a bushel; some of a barrel I iioJnornlcn rrmiirfid. For a loner ^.ww - ? distance, crates with slatted sides are preferred on account of the ventilation they afford to their contents; but, for markets near by, boxes with entire sides will answer. To Make a Bushel Crate or Box?Two ends and one middle-piece, eight by fourteen inches. The sides are two feet long, and if for crates, are of laths, and from two inches in width to more or less. Boxes made with entire sides will contain a trifle more than a legal bushel. The center-pieces add to the strength, J and are convenient in measuring two half-bushels. Mark all crates and boxes with the owner's name.?American Agriculturist. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Nut culture is yearly growing more popular. The potato that sprouts the easiest makes the poorest seed. Premature sprouting is due to weakness. Paris green and hellebore will destroy the asparagus beetle. Either should be used with judgment and care. A pair of brood mares, properly used, can do a good season's work on a larm and turn out a pair of fine colts. Currants and gooseberries need one good trimming out annually, cutting out old wood and thinning the new. It is not the largest seed that is always best, but that which is most nerfect and vigorous and has been kept tl best. Which is the better, to ex ?.rd your money in making good roads o.

If you think it cheaper to buy the luxuries of the common kitchen garden than to grow them when you can, your family may count on a small supply. If you have a timber lot cut the deadtopped trees and crooked staddles for fuel. Clear out worthless underbrush, but spare all straight and thrifty timber. As a rule, raise your stock instead of buying it. You can generally have better stock, and you do not run the risk of introducing disease into your herds or flocks. Chrysanthemums need all the light, sun and air that they can get from the time the cuttings are rooted until they are ready to cut again. They want a I rich, warm soil of turfv loam. Bloating is an evidence of indigestion and may easily occur when a cow is fed on turnips in the winter. The feeding should be changed, and the hay cut and mixed with bran with some salt until the food is properly, digested. Salt is an aid to digestion. In transplanting deciduous trees there must be a proper balance maintained between the roots and the tops. If but few roots are taken up with them the top should be correspondingly reduced. Care should be taken that the roots are not exposed to the air any longer than necessary during the removal.

To grow gooseberries to perfection, the soil should be well enriched with stable manure,about the same as for strawberries. They like plenty of food, and the more they get the better they thrive. We find a clay lonm, well enriched, the best of all soils for the gooseberry, but any eoil will do when properly enriched and cultivated. Kangaroo Skins. When brought to bay, the kangaroo jumps like a flash for a hunter's cheat, and tries to crush it in with his fore feet. To prevent this, each man wears across Viic .Vrrfost n two nr three inch thick mat ting. Armed with a spear, with a club attachment at the other end, they ride upon ewift horses into the herd. With the agility and equipoae of circus riders, they 6tand erect upon their horses, and use their spears and clubs. The kangaroo ie able to jump clear over a horse. As the game is bagged it is skinned, and the skin is stretched on the ground and pegged down to prevent -shrinkage. The flesh furnichos meat for the camp. Each man places his private mark upon his booty, and when they have one hundred skins apiece, they return back to civilization.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS. HOUSE PLAITTS. Plants require much light and fresh air; a light garret is an excellent place for them; even those which will not bear t)*e outer air must have the air of the room frequently freshened by ventilation to preserve them in health. They should not stand in a draught of air. In frosty weather the windows should be kept closed, and at night the shutters. As a general rule, never water plants while the sun shines. The time should be in the evening, or early in the morning, unless it be confined to watering the root', in which case transplanted plants and others in a growing state may be watered at any time, and if they are shaded from the sun, they may also be watered over the tops. The water should not be too cold, or it will chill the plants. A small quantity only should be applied at a time, that it may have the effect of refreshing rain. Rain water is the best for plants, next river water; hard spring water is the worst.?New York Observer. THE SEWING HOUH. At least one hour a day in a family, where there are growiug girls, should be devoted to hand sewing. It happens often in these days of the sewing jnachine that this part of the manual education of girls is neglected. Itisdgccd plan to teach children when they are quite young all the impoitant stitches of the needle and then give them systematic work to keep them in practice. There is no occupation more womanly and more useful than needlework. It is a rest to any tired housekeeper, who has been on her feet during a large part of the day, to dress herself for the afternoon and sit down with her needlework. The over-and-over stitch is the one generally taught to children first, but it is quite as well to teach the running stitch and afterward a back-stitch. After plain sewing is mastered, a few of the simpler embroidery stitches may be taught. If a small dress for a doll or some simple piece of work is cut out, which will interest the child in her task, she will probably accomplish more than if she is given 1 '-"till '1 nr enrora wnrlr flf._ whirh |;utuav.o vt oviw|/o w .TV. ? j do not "count." A pretty work-basket, neatly made, will encourage the little worker, and should be filled with a thimble, needles, a supply of emery, pretty pincushions, darning cotton and darning yarn and silk, and everything necessary to the work of the seamstress. Neat little sewing aprons are also useful and pretty. Give the little worker one or two made and the materials to make several more on which to practise, if she is old enough. Children should be especially instructed in darning and mending. A darn well done on cloth is invisible for all practical purposes. Darning of lace is to all intents a lost art, but it is beautiful work. Mending a rip in a pair of kid-gloves is a very dainty bit of work. The color of the glove should be match in silk and a bit laid under the ! part broken; after this is should be caught down to the kid by stitches that do not show on the right side; the rip must now be carefully drawn together with sewing silk, taking up as little as possible of the kid. A glove mended in this way will last almost as long as if it had not ripped.?Ncu> York Tribune. recipes.
