AGRIOULTURE.
LIME N AGRiouLTuRE.-All writers
on agtioulturAl subjeot# s.em to agroe
that the use of lime on clayey sofl Is
of great benefit, crops thus treated
showing the advantage of its mixture
with the soil. A corresnondeitio6thW
Farmer's tevieto writes from France
that the,, 3uropean . farmiers Coinqide
with our.agrioulturists in thfi respect,
and concludes as follows: The ex
tending use of ilme is excellent for
clay Boils. Argil augments in volume
when moist- diminishes when dry.
Carbonate of lime possesses iolther-of
these properties; applied then to cold
clay soils it enables the air and heat
to penetrate more readily, thus mak
ing the land friable. On light soils
the action of lime is weak,and on those
very light the use of lime is misplaced.
But as the action of lime rapidly trans
forms the nutritive c ipital of the
land, its success cannot be permanent
unleastrationally siipplemented by d'
root fertilizers, as farm yard manure,
etc. Ijence, the adage, Lime enrIchos
the father, but ruins the children. If
the soil have excess of acids, lime
"sweetens" by neutralizing them; all
cultivated soils are slightly acid, 8uch
being necessary for vegetation. Too
much, however, acts directly on plants,
and Indirectly by the formation o1
soluble and noxious salts of iron.
GATTINo RID OF RATs.-Many farms
are so infested with rats as to cause
serious loss to their occupants, and
various remedies are resorted to for
their destruction. None will prove so
effectual, however, as to make a simul
taneous attack upon them 'all along
the line,' by setting steel traps, dead
falls, triphead barrels, delusion traps,
together with a poison box, or box in
which you have continued to feed
them on clicese, buttered bread, &c.,
until they will almost come for call
ing, when saturate the bait with dead
ly poison, and they and their neigh
bors will cone focking in to enjoy the
repast, which, as soon as partaken of
and resolutions of thanks passed for
the kindness, will cause them to re
tire handsomely to rest forever. This
and keeping a throughbred rat terrier
or two trained for the purpose, will
soon make the place too hot for them.
But to render their extermination the
more complete, concert of action must
be had by all interested. Every farm
er shoul take ihis own premises in
hand, and then, after so arranging
his outbuildings as to shut the destruc
tive aimals out, Ie can make use of
the above means with every prospect
of success.
ARAD H1OnEs M AxIM5 .-Letyou r colt
be dolesticated and live with you
from his tenderest ago, and when a
horse he will be 81mple, docile, faith
ful and inured to hardship and atigue.
Do not beat your horses nor speak to
them in a loud tone of voice; do not
get angry with them, but kindly rc
prove their fatilts; they will do better
thereafter, f1or they tinderstand the
language of iuani and its meaning.
If you have a long day's journey before
you, spare your horse at the start; let
him frequently walk to recover his
wind. contitie this until lhe has
sweated and aried three times, and
you may ask of him whatever you
please, he will not leave y6u in dif
loulty. Observe your horse when lie
drinking at a brook. If in bringing
n vi head he remains square,
wi1out bending his limbs, lie posseses
ster=fng qualities, and all parts of his
body are built symmetrically. Four
things lie must have broad-front
chest, loins andis limbs ; four thingis
long-neck, chest, forearm and croup ;
four th~I ngs short--pastcra, bac k, oars
and tail.
Tue CANKEn Wonmu.-As soon1 as the
frost leaves the surface of the ground,
and we have a few days of warm suan
shine, the grub of the canker worm
will leave its winter quarters and take
upn its line of march for the trunks of
apple trees up which, tt. no obstruc
tion preven ts,.it will climb to dleposit,
on the s.ualler branocees, its eggs.
Apple trees in locationis wheire this
destructive enemy is found should be
at once looked after ; if they are not
proteecd by p~atent, protectors, a strip)
of tarred pasper a loot in width should
be tied around the trunk anid kept well
covered with tar, printer's Ink, or a
preparation made by melting tour par ts
of' roseni with one part, lnseed oil
The greatest car~e should bi taken to
keel) the paper covered Eo thick with
sticky substanice thiat. no grub can pass5
over it.
A (00O> ithing to give a horse after
he hats been drivens is a quart of oat
mecal stirred into a pail of water. it
refreshes amid strengthens imn, relieves
his himediate tirmst and prepares lis
stonmach ior more solid 10ood. It,
is like the piate of soni p before dinner
satisfying and apipetizhng together.
'i' is said( by careful meni that it is
most proiltabie to grow for beef thiose
animals that can be turned oil' at two
years oldi.-Greater age will give
welght, but at a much increased
cost.
No MAN wvill ever get a llrst-rate,
even or prolltable stock of sheep), whlo
does not make a practice of yearly cull

.Experiment~s have lately been made
on one of the priniplal French rail
wvays,to (dertemine tihe slippmig by loco
motive driving wheels, at speeds vary
ing fromi forty-three to lifty-six miles
pea' hour. For this piirpose, six loco
motives of three dlillerent types were
employedl, five of them having four
cotupledh wheels, while the sixth was a
Crampton e~pgine, with a single pair of
drivers. The circumference of the
wheels was obtained by mleastiring tihe
rails traversed by one revolution. I'he
utmost carefulness aippears to have
been exercised to insure entire accui aey
of observation and1( data, at these trials;
and the results sh oed that, under the
condulons of these expermimnts, no
slIpping whiatever occuiired-the Iimi
portant conclusion being arrived at,
consequently, that ay doubts-in re
gard to the partial slipping of driving
wheels utuer the ordlinaury circumi
stances of locomotive working may be
set, at rest, and that aniy such supposedi
action naeed not be takeni into accountm,
as a cause of' wear.
.Eschni( has comilrined by a new sta
tistical table-showing the dluration of
life in-the various p~rofessionis in Ba

medibal men are shiorter lived than anmy

It is not expected that It will be pos
sible for tihe ltaliani Antartic expedi
tion to start before 1883i. In the mean
time it is intended that Lieut. Bove,
thie originator ot the scheme, should
make a preliminary voyage In a whaler
to the Southern seas.
THE HOUSEHOLD.
'ARRAGON SAUC.-MIss LesIle ad
VIses to plant a tarragon bush, even in
a'amfll cily garden, as it Is as -ustful
for seasoning as the parsley, and al
most as much so as the bay leaf. The
-oliea.eat meat; it cannot be too often
said, Is so improved by a dash of'1lav
oring,that all good husekeepers should
eep plenty'6f -aVory horbs on -hand.
Tarragon loves are in perfect ion in
July and August, and are Used fresh,
as you would piarsley. 'I'arragon vin
egar is only good older vinegar that
has had a double quantity of leaves
steeped in it, throwing away the first
set and adding fresh ones to the same
vinegar, p'reciselv as you make rasp
berry vinogarz with a double infusion
of raspberrioe. 'You can buy tarragon
vinegar, but it is cheaper to make it.
Tarragoa mustard is made by adding
two wineglasses of the vinegar in two
ounces o1 mustard seed that-you havo
pounded yourself into a line powder.
Add a glove of garlic, also pounded,
and mix it smooth with a bit of butter.
I' for immedits use in cool weather,
or with equal quantities of salad oil if
it Is to keep for a long time.
BEI OMELET.-Lima beans, as all
-other canned vegetables, are cheap
now, but In the following recelpt you
can use the dried Lima beans,by soak
ing them all night, if you choose:
Half-pint df beans, two tablespoon
fuls of bread crumbs, four eggs, Y oz.
of parsley, half a teacupful of milk,
and a tablespoonful of olive oil or but
ter. Boll the beans and mash them
with milk, and rub them through a
sieve; add the bread crumbs, the
parsley chopped fine, the eggs well
beaten,tho oil or butter, salt and pop
per; pour the omelet Into a buttered
dish, bake It for an hour in a moder
ately hot oven, and serve with brown
sAuce. Bro wn sauce is made of a quarter
of a pound of sugar put in a pan to
brown without burning. Stir It until
it grows a rich brown. You con add
to It for a sweet sauce a luip of but
tor and the juice of a lemon (wilne if
desired). For a tart sauce add cupful
of vinegar and you want a thick sauce
brown some butter and flour in a pan,
putting in the iour its the butter
froths up, and add hot water gradual
ly with any seasoning you like. The
neatpest of ai] brown sauces is mo
lasses.
Fo those Who wish to keep the hn
agination fresh and vigorous, choco
late Is the beverage of beverages.
However copiously you have lunched,
a cUI) of chocolate immedialely after
ward will proluce digestion titrcc
hours after, and prepare the way for iL
goo[t dinner. It is recommended to
every one who deyotes to brain-work
the hours he should pass in bed ; to
every wit who 1inds, he has become
stiddenly dull; to all who find the
air daip, the timo long, and the at
iosphere lityspportable; and, above
all, to those who, tormented with it
fixed idea, haVe lost their treodom of
thought. To make chocolate (it must
never be out with a knife) an ounce
and it half Is requisite for iL cup. Dis
solve it graduay in hot water, stIr
ring I timo while with it wooden spoon;
let it boll for a quarter of an hottr,and
serve it hot witt milk or without, ac
cortiing to taste.

HUMOROUS.
A 0ANDIDA ER for the stage, early in
the present century, applied to one of
the proprietors of a London theatre for
an engagement. After he hau exhibited
specimens Of his varlogs talents the
following dialogue took place between
the manager and him:
"Sir, you Rutter." "So did Mrs.
Inchbald."
"You are lame of a leg." "So was
Foot."
"But you are thick-legged." "So Is
Jack Johnson."
"You have an ugly face." "So has

"You are very short." "So was

"You squint abominably." "So did

"You are a most monotonous man

"You have a perpetual whine."
"So has Pope."

In the Philadelphia Times of recent

nent druggist of that, city, Mr. J. M.
Higgins, Germantown Road and Noi ris

rheumatism of the knee. He applied
St. Jacob's Oil at night, and next morn

A WOMAN living on Tenth street en
bred a grocery on Michigan avenue
Detroit the other evening with her
%pron at her eyes, and when asked the
cause of her trouble she replied Il"
"Poor Mrs. Brown I"
"What about poor Mrs. Brown?"
"Why, she's (lead I"
"Since when?"
"Siho dropped off last night. My
husband said she was found dead in
her bed. Oh, sir, you don't-don't
know- I"
She sat down on a barrel of crackers
and gave way to her feelings. but as
soon as the grocer had recovered from
is surprise he said:
"You might as well cut that short,
for Mrs. Brown was in here not half
an hour ago, in the best of health."
"is that so?"
"I assure you that it is a 'act, and
you have had a big cry for nothing."
"No I haven't either. If Mrs.
Brown isn't (lead then it will do just
aR well for any one else in the neigh
borhood who dies within a day or two.
I am not inean enough to want to take
it all back."
JoNKG was eating dinner at his
boarding-house, and during his Inves
tigation of his plate of hash, he ran
across a piece of postage stamp. The
landlady saw him pick it out and look
at it, and she began to get mad. But
Jones said nothing, and, laying down
his knife and fork, began to dig with
a spoon in the dish from which the
piece of stamnu had come. Finally
when the the lady could stand it no
longer, she said: "Well, Mr. Jones,
w hiat is the matter ?"
"Ohi, nothing," replied that philoso
pher. "What are you playing In the
vituais for then?"
"Why, you see the piece of stamp
remlinded inc of a letter I was expect
ing, and I Just thought I'd prod
around this dish a while, and see if I
couldn't find the mail-carrier, and ask
him about the letter without walking
lowvn to the office."
TIhe mail-carrier was not found, and
J ones has ehanged his boarding-house.

Tuxmi Eel River Road shows up the
Inalest smash-up of railroad material.
Recnthy a train ran oflf the track be
tween Auburn Junction and Cedar
Creek, smashing several cars badly
and destroying aquantity of flour and
grain. TIhe most prominent sensation
connected wvith the smash-up is as fol
lows: A young man from Butler,
dressed in a suit of black broadcloth,
and lis "mug" adorned with a spring
plug-hat, was on h.is way to see a girl.
The condluotor wa's on the engine when
it Jumped the track, and, walking
along to the rear end( of the train, lhe
spiedl some object crawling out of the
tmil and water that accumlated along
the ditch. it arose, and there before
himi stood the woulid-be lover.
"Hiello, what's up?'' asked the con
duc tor
And emptying the water out of Ils
plug, lie remarked:
"I'm a nice looking to go and see a
girl, ain't I ?"
"IIEL~ro," said a New Ihaven man
the other noan1. "How camne this win
dow broken?"
"Wh y," replied his wife, "I he ard a
crash and I thought somebody had
fired a bullet at it."
"Nonsense. Some boy threw a
stone, more like."
"Oh, no. It wasn't. I looked ouit
of the winidow and all around right
away, and I didn't see a sign of a boy
any where." Singular, wasn't it.
A N exchange says : "The average

or lah'dlooed salmon of 0ind was re
cently made to Germany by Mr Fred
eTick Mather, of b . alt the eggs
were consigned'to t e Berlin Fishery
Association, and the rest to the SoCO.6
d'AcVjimatation, of Paris. Mr. Mather
has recently adopted a modeof packing
for shipment which differs materially
in detail from that employed last year,
in the course of whloh he shipped 700,
000 eggs with a loss of only 7 to 8 per
cent. It was the earlier praotice to
place the ova in shallow trays com
posed of a wooden frame with a bottom
of canton flannel. The trays were
placed one upon another in a vertical
position in a compartment directly be
neath an ice box, from whicli water a
little above the freezing point and well
charged with oxygen constantly pe;
colated. In the now method the trays
are put into tin boxes one upon the
other until each box is full. A well
fitting cover is then placed over them,
and the box-s, thus nearly hermeti
cally sealed, are packed in ice. There
it no percolation of water upon
the eggs in this mode ot packing. But
as the box detains and condenses all
moisture arising from the trays, and
the supply of air is suffielent for a
number of days, it is believed that It
will save a larger percentage of the
eggs than was possible under the old
method, besides occupying somewhat
less space.

Farmers should be careful not to be
in too close competition with each
other, and above all things not to com

a farmer who, not wishing to trust too
much to one man, consigned three lots
of a particular .produet to each of three
different commission houses in the
same city. [t happened to be the only
consignment of the kind offered. Un
fortunately for him he proved to be hia
