On the sculpj ured and painted walls
of tombs we get pictures of the gai dens
of Egypt and Nile. A very convention.
al garden, as might have been expected
In a country where all the laws of orn
ament were dictated by the priesthood.
r9ot round about with rank and file of
date and paln and sycamore, the tanks
of water that kept them green bordered
with vases in which grew tufts of pa
pyrus, with a little door opening into
the vineyard in the centre, and a canal
on one side of the quadran gle-tuese
were the gardens presided over by the
garder deity Khem, who was first cous
in to Greek Pan. They liked flowers,
those old Egyptians; they took tribute
of rare plants from conquered nations ;
spent as much money on the floral dec
orations of a banquet as does Delmoni
co, and it was they who first made arti
tlcial flowers called "A|CgyptIae. Thie
gardens of Assyria and Babylon were
architectural in their character. When
Queen Amytis, homesick for her native
hills, declared to Nebuchadnezzer that
Babylon was a stale, flat and unprofit
able place, he made her hanging ga'
dens, whose terraces, three hundred
feet high, overtopped the city walls.
Down by the Euphrates were the gar
dens where the Israelites sat down and
wept, but here, high in the air, were
fountains and muiel and seats and ban
queting ialls. P'cople did not merely
make gardens, they built them.
Twenty-one hundred years before
Christ, Queen Semiramis built a gar
den at yie foot of Tecb, Bagistan,
twelve furlongs in compass, with a
great fountain in the centre of it-a
garden so famous that Alexander
thought it worth while to go out of his
way to see it. And when the Greek
general Lysander complimented Cyrus
on the beauty of his landscape garden
ing at Sardis, Cyrus replied: "It was
I let me say, Lysander, who measured
the ground and arranged all myself
and these trees were planted with my
own hand."
Gardens have been formal, conven
tional, architectural, geometrical or
natural as the taste of the time and of
the people dictated. 'liny had his
tragic and his comic Villa. We have a
detailed description of one of his gar
dens; the rows and borders of box cut
into grotesque shapes of animals;
shrubs clipped short; trees tortureu
into slavish forms; tiowers planted In
letters forming the name of the master
or the workman; little obelisks at reg
ular intervals; statues rigid as Roman
soldiers, and In the midst of all that
formal greenery, a little room where
Pliny used to lie and imagine hinisell
iII the woods. The Greeks had their
sacred groves, with "dense flocks of
winged nightingales," but their gar
lens proper were small, and the cu
ture of flowers was mostly limited to
roses, violets, n1 Iris and such
blossoms as were' for chaplets.

versally adopted. If we examine luto
the manners and customs of somne of
the people0 less civilize:l than we-the
Kabyles, for example---we shall fInd
that they use a round wooden spoon.
'rhe Romans also used a round spoon,
which was mnade of copper. We might
be led, from the latter fact, to tutor
that the primitive form of tis uttensil
was round(, and that the oval shape was
a comparatively modern invention.
But such is not the case, for M. Chian

borders of Lake Paladru, thme waters of

louid, ini good state of preservation,
wooden spoons which inl shape were

AGRICULTURE.
How 'ro FED CoAnS FODENH.
Every farmer has more or less of coarse
lodder, such as straw, corn stalks, mea
dow hay, and the like which he is
sometimes pussled to know how to
dispose of to advantage. If fed to cows
they soon shrink in milk, and fall out
of condition and it seems hardly profit
able to dispose of it in that way. It
fed to young stock, they will just make
out to live, and possibly hold their own
but usually they tall off in flesh and It
seems doubtful economy to feed them
in this way. If led to sheep they
scarcely make out to exist under such
treatment, some perhaps dying, and
others falling out of condition to such
an extent as to greatly, for the season,
injure their usefulness and profitable
ness. In fact, if fed to any kind of
farm stock, there are deolded'disadvan
tages attending the practice, and the
question how to best dispose of the
coarse fodder on the farm, is quite fre
quently an ever reouring perplexity to
the farmer. There are ways, however
we think, in which the coarse fodder
of the farm may be economically and
judiotously disposed of. The chemical
analysis of straw, corn fodder, meadow
hay and such articles, show that to a
certain extent they are incomple'e
foods, or in other words do not contalia
L suillcient amount or In the right pro
portion, of all the elements of food re
quired for the proper nourishment of
animals. The strsw and the corn fodder
have had tie grain romoved,and are left
in an incomplete condition for food, and
when led should have the defilciercy
supplied. Tihis can be doHe to the best
advantage by adding cotton seed meal
to the straw and stalks, in this way
supplying the defcliency in nitrogenous
and latty elements. The cotton 1oed
meal is very rich In nitrogenous and
fatty elements, and offers the most
economical means of making the straw,
corn stalk and meadjw hay equal in
feeding value to the best of hay. If
only half a pint to a pint of the meal is
led daily to young stock, a decided imi
provemenit will be noticeable. At first
t would probably have to be mixed
with bran or corn meal to Induce the
animals to eat It, but they will soon
relish It. Some larners may think
that, they cannot afford to buv cotton
seed meaL to feed with their coarse fod
der, but if they will try it one season,
they will be likely to conclude that
they cannot afford to get along without
buying it. The gain on the stock will
amply pay the ce's, and the increased
valute of tie dressing will repay it again.
The fertilizing elements c1 cotton seed
meal are worth the full market price of
tiMe omeal, which alfords the cheapest
fortilizer in the market. So that really,
the man who buys It has Its full value
in the dressIng made, and gets the in
crease on the stock as clear gain.

perform Important offices in the worl
of science. Nitrogen and carbon an
hydrogen are uis chiet constituents
but it holds, besides, about two pound
of phosphorus which is essential to th
health of the bones and th6 vigor of th
brain. This phosphorus, if extractei
and put to use, would make up abou
four thousand packages of frictloi
matches. Besides phosphorus, it con
tains a few ounces of sodium, and hal
ounce of potassium, which school-boy
know as a curious metal that burn
brilliantly on the surface of water, o
when touched by an Icicle. The quan
tity of such in the body would be sufil
clent for many experiments In a larg
school. In addition to sodium an
potassium, there are few grains of maig
nesium, enough to make the "silve
rain" for a family's stock of rockets o.
a Fourth of July evening, or to create;
brilliant light visible twenty tulle

chemist may undertake to drive a pro
fitable buisiness by extracting thes
materials from dead bodies?

of copper (blue vitriol) in 2 litres o0
water; also 227 grammes tartrate of pot.
ash and 286 grammes crystallized oar.

One mixing the two solutions a lighi
bluish-green precipitate of tartrate ci
copper is formed. It is thrown on v

half a litre of caustic soda solution of
16 deg. B., when it is ready for use
The coating obtilned from this solutor
is very palable, smooth, and coherent
with a tine surface, and acquires an.1
desired thickness if left long enough ir
the bath. Other metals can also be em
plcod for bathing in the form of tar
traie4. Instead o1 tartrates, phosphates
oxalates, citrates, acesates, and boratea
o1 metals can be used, so that it seem
possible to dispense entirely with thb
use of cyanide baths.
