kANAGEMEINT OF A FAns.-There is
probably not one farmer in ton thous
and who keeps a set of accounts from
Which lie can at any moment learn the
cost of anything lie may have produc
ed, or even the cost of his real proper
ty. A - very few farmers who have
been brought up to business habits
keep such accounts, and are able to tell
how their afWairs progress, what each
erop, each kind of stock, or each ani
mal has cost, and what each produces.
Knowing these points a farmer, can,
to a very great. extent, properly decide
what crops lie will grow and what
kind of stock lie will keep. He will
thus be able to apply his labor and mo
ney where it .will do the most good.
He can weed out his stock and retain
only such animals as may be kept with
prot. For the want of such knowl
edge, farmers continue, year after
year, to feed cows that are unprofit
able, and frequently sell for less than
her value one that is the best of the
herd, because she is not known to be
any better than the rest. Feed is also
whsted upon ill-bred stock, the keep of
which costs three or four times that of
well bred animals, which, as has been
proved by figures that cannot be mis
taken. pay a large profit of their keep
ing. For want of knowing what they
ccat, poor crops are raised year by year
at an actual loss, provided farmer's' la
bor" at the rate current for common
labor, were charged against them. To
learn that he has beenu working for fif
ty cents a day during a number of
years, would open the eyes of many a
farmer who has actually been doing
this and it would convince him that
there is some value in figures and book
accounts,
KITcuEN AND MARKET GARDEN,
The plants ofcabbage, cauliflower, and
lettuce from the cold frames are to be
set out as soon as the soil Is ready, and
the frames used to push forward a crop
of lettuee, to be followed by cuicumb
crE-thus making the most out of the
investment in glass. As a general
thing, the ashes may be entirely re
moved fromn the framnes containg Win
tered plants. Seedling plants, either
in hot bcds or window boxes must not
become slender and weak; prevent it
by early transplanting and giving more
rocn. Window boxes may be ,et out
of doors in a sheltered place during
mild days, but taking in before the air
gets Chilly, unless it is warm and no
danger of a sudden cold turn.
As the heat of the sun Increases, the
hot beds will need careful ventilating.
As far as may be maintain a uniform
temperature for the plants, avoiding
both chilling and birning. Hardy
vegetables should be sown so soon as
the soil is dry enough to work and hea
vy frosts are over. Tender vegetables
should wait until the soil is warm as
well as dry. This is, in the familiar
expression, about corn planting time.
That leading crop being one of the ten
der class, it makes a safe guide for the
others. Jii ihe Northern States gene
rally, it Is rare that any seeds can be
sown ii the open ground before this
month. ' hose to go in flrst are beets,
cabbage, cumulillower, celery, cress,
leck, lettuce, onions, parsley, peas,
potatoes, radh, spinach, early corn,
etc.
A FARMER who claims to haye great
Sucects in raising Iotatoes says that
lie gets his best results by preparing
the usual way, and when ready to
plant lie takes his wagon and goes to
the wood s an .'UA , f. ie.W ,
whi.ckl i h a y d in the hollows
and beside logs, and as lhe plants lie
puts a small fork full of t his leaf mold
into each hiill. The p~otatoes grow to an1
unusual size. 'There is an absence of
small potatoes, .and the crop) in every
way, including (digging, is greatly
beneiltted. An idlea worth trying, at
least.

Th'le Castor Ilcan is a native of thme
Wecst Indies. where it grows with great
luxuriance. 1t is cultivated as a field
crop in the lower Mliddle States bord
tiring on thme Ohio river on thme north.
It likes a rich mellow bed,and,is plant
edl and hoed( like cornm. It amttinis the
height of flye or six feet and bearis at
the rate of twenty or thirty bushels
per acre. Th'le seed is separated f romi
the pods,brumsed and subjected to great
p~ressuire, by wvhiich it yields nearly a
gallonm of cold pressed castor oil to the
bushel of seed. The co1ld pressed oil is
far better than that extracted by boll
ing and skimming; thme last process is
performed either with or without first
slightly roasting. Formerly its separa
tion into a limpid oil for muachilnery
and lamps, and into stearine for can
dies, much increased its value, but
since the' inltrluicl 'on of mineral oils,
which arc so plentifully produced, the
use of castor oil Is chiefly conimned to
med icinal purposes.

t 00 Wof# been a ?favorite theory
of geologists that sea "and land have
been playing a sort of seesaw game for
ever so many ages; that now the bot
tom of the sea, the grea! ocean floors,
became the continents, and again the
great continents subsided and became
the floors of the oceans. Almost every
modern book on geology sets forth this
as something to be accepted without
question. At first sight the observed
facts appear to support the view of the
book-makers. The rocks, which make
up the most of the continents, and the
sites of the loftiest mountains, gave
unmistakable proof that they had been
trequently under the sea. A close sift.
Ing of the facts, however, disposes of
anything like the great cataclysmal
notions. Continents when they lost in
one direction gained in another, Re
cent soundings have shown that the
sediments carried off the land have
been deposited not more than 200 miles
from the shore. The remains of pelagic
flora and fauna on dry land go to
proye that the living organisms had
never an existence at a very great
depth. This is what Professor A.
Gelkie, one who stands In the front
rank of the geologists of our time, has
to Eay on this subject: "Again and
again the solid bulk of the coninents
has been reduced to mere detritus, and
has been spread over the sea bottom.
And yet the continental ridges have
never ceased to exist. Their disappear
ance would necessarily have been fol
lowed by the ces sation of sedimentary
accumlation. The character of the
component rocks, however, teaches
that, whether by the operations of un
derground movements or by the action
of superficial causes, the land has been
continually wandering, as it were, to
and fro across continental areas,
disappearing beneath the sea in
one region, reappearing from the
sea in another. In one sense,
of course, it may be said that land and
sea have been continually changing
places. The waters covering it have
been mere prolongations of the upper
layers of the ocean, l1ke the Mediter
ranean, Black and Caspian seas of the
present day. An elevation or depres
sion of a low hundied feet sufficed to
turn wide tracts into land or into water.
But such oscillation made no real
chauge in the essential position of the
grand aboriginal oceanic basins and
continental ridges." An interpretation
of phenomena like that just quoted
cannot fail to modify or overturn many
prevalent theories, including those re
garding climate and the existing loca
tion of animals and plants.

Mr. . W. Stain, O New-eastl-on
Tyne, has come forward as the Inven
tor of a system of Incandescent electric
lighting, which he claims can be eco
nomically applied to domestic purposes.
He thus states in general terms what
he has done: It is found after many
troublesome experiments that when
the vacuum.within the lamp wds good
and the contact between rhe carbon
and the conductor which supported it
sufficient, there was no blaecening of
the globes and no appreciable wasting
away of the carbons. The main prin
ciple of the Swan system is that upon
which Mr. Edison has lately been
working, and upon which, many years
ago, other American inventors devoted
a good deal of attention with consider
able success. Mr. Swan arranges his
lamps in series, and feels warranted in
asserting that at least twice as m%%ch
light I s pr oduced by a certain quantity
of gas used to generate an electric cur
rent employed in his lamps that can
be obtained from this quantity of gas
burned in gas-burners in the usual
manner. Putting the question of
economy In other words, he reckons
that forty pounds of coal employed in
raising steam, to generate electricity,
is capable of producing the effect in
his lamps of one thousand feet of gas
burned in gas-burners.
Guilty of Wronr.
Some people have a fashion of con
fusing excellent remedies with the
large mass of "patent medicines," and
in this tnis they are guilty of a wrong.
There are some advertised remedies
fully worth all that is asked for them,
and one at least we know of-Hop Bit
ters. Ths writer has had occasion to
use the Bitters in just such a climate
as we have most of the year in Bay
City, and has always found them to be
first-class and reliable, dring all that
is claimed for them.-Tribuano.
Dr. Carnally,ot the Chemical Society,
London, has shown some experiments
regarding the effect of pressure in
raising the melting points of ice, cam
phor and mercuric chloride. By sus
pending a cylinder of ice formed round
the Dulb of a thermometer in a Torr
cellian vacuum, - and condensing the
aqueous vapor by a freezing mixture,
so as to keep the vacuum perfect, ice
was raised to 180 deg. centigrade be
fore it melted. In the actual experi
ment before an audience, an accident
occurred,and the temperature rose to 30
deg. centigrade only before the cylin
der of ice fell from the bulb of the
thermometer. Camphor which was
boiling in a tube became solid when
the pressure was diminished, although
the heat was maintained at the same
temperature. Mercuric chloride which
under diminished pressure, had been
raised considerably above its melting
point, melted and boiled as soon as it
was exposed to atmospheric pressure.
Further experiments have been made,
and successfully, with the Ramstedt
apparatus for signalling at sea by
means of illuminated steam. In its im
provea form, this device consists or a
dished chamber, in which.strontium or
some other substance is burned,a vari
ety of colors beim thus producible, if
desired ;as the back of the chamber Is a
rellector, by which the light is reflect
ed or thrown on the steam, either
steadily or in flashes, at will-the steam
thus becomming a luminous mass,
varying in color with the substances
used In combustion. In practice, the
light is thrown upon the steam issuing
from the tunnel of a steamer, and obli
cal signals are mad according to any
known cde of signalling, such as by
combinations of 1lashes of longer or
shorter duration sthis is effected by the
light apparatus being closed in at the
front with a hinged cover, which Is
manipulated by~the signal ler according
to the arrangement.

Dr. Gayje Parsons believes that Mr.
Erasmus Wilson was the first to pro
pose sulphur lotion in acne punctata,
according to the Practitioner, Tihe
usual lotion of the flowers of sulphur
with glycerime and water is undoubt
edily a valuable remedy ; but, from the
readiniess with which the sulphur sep
arates, itis in elegant and inconvient,
while IL is not quite satisfactory in its
results. A far more eficaecious mode
of using sulphur is to dust the face
w~ith pure precipitated sulphur every
night with an ordinary puff used for
toilet purposes. Recently two severe
cases or acne of two years' standing,
which had resisted the ordinlary
methods of treatment, yielded at once
to sulphur thus applied. If the sul
phur be suented with oil of lemon or
roses, it will form an elegant cosmetic.

Some of the ways of distinguishing
amber from cop~ah are thus given in La
Nature: "Copal is yellow, of a more or
less deep tin t,but uniform throughout,
and has yellow points like sulphur on
Its surface. Ambar in a fragment of
twelve centuries in length will show
a variation of shade. Amber when
rubbed will yield a strong aromatic
odlor ; its imitations will not. .Amber
may be bent after being smeared
with tallow and heated ; the imitations
will not bend. Amber may be cut,
sawed, ras; 0(d or polished, hut cannot
be cemented or soldleredl like copal.
The densht~y of amber is 1.09) to 1.11;
that of copal is 1.04.''

In a recent lecture on "Coal Gas,''
Professor Rensen cited a curious in
stance of the eleodorizing of illumina
ting gas. In Dresden a quantity of
gas escaped from a pipe0 outside of a
(dwelling and passed through the earth
into the house, with its odor entirely
gone. It was breathed unconscIously,
and several deaths occurred in consc
quence.
