AUBIUULTURZO PLANTIG GnApl-VIIdt.-One would suppose that so simple a thing as planting a grape-vine would not need writing about; and yet the number of people inquiring, "How shall we plant?" is so great that a few words to these inquirers may well be pardoned by those who think they already know enough about the matter. The rule is to plant the roots shallow. If they are long when we have to transplanttbem, in. stead of Eetting them deep we lay them along about four or five inches beutath the eurf ace, It is of course very necessary to press the soil very hard an4 firm over the roots; that is if the earth is. tolerably dry, though in truth no vine should be planted except the earth is In this condition. It Is very useful in planting a grape-vine to cut it closely in. Unless the last year's growth be very vigorous it may be almost all cut away; and even where the growth is strong one-half may be cut away. This is the way to get a good strong cane fop bear ing r.ext year, which is the most that one ought to expect a vine to do. "Immedi ate bearing" is a delusion and a snare. Many persons spend a dollar extra on a vine -which he is told by the dealer will "bear thia year," when for that amount of iuoiey he could bny treble the quantity of grapes it will bear or hun, even if it bears at all. Still, we like to plant good, strong hea" *by grapes. The little crow-quills, which comio out as rare grapes at high pri ce6, Eeldoi give much satisfaction. In deed, it is more than likely that the com mon failures which generally follow all of these introductions are as much owing to the way their propagation is forced, as to any inherent inability in the varieties to become adapted to soils and climates. Tim eye of a steer, when prominent, bright and clear, with a mild and gentle expression, is an Indication ot health, with a quiet disposition and good feeding qual ity. if the eye is dull and sunken the ca pillary circulation will be defective and the functions of nutrition imperfect.ly per formed, and there will not only be a deti ciency in the ability to fatten, but a lack of strength and constiutioual vigor, A restless tind wild cxprcssion of the eye in dicates a predominance of nervous action and an unquit dlsposition that is not com patible with good iceding quality. PRussiA s-pends two or three million dol lars annually upon the State forests and iaiis. The inms of the State are rented to practical farmers, who are bound by their leases-to take pupils in agriculture, and to keep blooued stock for improving the biceds of 1te surrounding community, and to introduce such machinery on trial us is recommended by the agricultural iinister of the crown. 1o seeds are dis tributed free, except in time of scarcity. but railroads have to carry free articles for exhibition at agricultural fa-rs. The high ways are lined with fruit or other trees, and tie Governmut supervision of forests is strict. A oELKnBhRTUD Irish farmer gives his ad vice to one youiig man in the business: "As a breeder, yoa must be careful not to lose the calf 11-lh. If you do so by starv ing the animal at any time ef his growth, you lose the cicam-the covering of flesh so muen prizL(d by our ictail butchers. Where do all the kcraggy, bad-Rushed beahts come from that we see in cer mar kets; and what is the cause of their scrag ginced it is because they haye been stin ted and starved at somec period of their growth. If the calf flesh is once lost, it can never be regained. season, sow a bushel of oats, a peck oi ith, ten pounds of red clover, two of whtand two of blue grass. Keep oif the cattle till the oats are six inehons hnigih, liememaber two thuigs in sow ing gi ass aced siow early and plenty of it. BlRERDRsl have noticed that a ioemarka ble development of thre tendency to lay on fat is usualy accompanied by a delicacy o! constitution, a diminished beerction of milk arid a loss of fecundity. Very fat aunmais are not likely to be good oreeders; in tact, the cxceselve production of fat is incomipatible with a narh developmeiit of the rep~roduictive powers. lI luo TiMrA'iE tampleirng with exhibition aninwals Is practiced at English live stock shows: A glarrng instance of this offence was brought to notice at a recint show, at which a UJlydesdale horse was disqualiied for having had false hair ingeniously ad ded to his heavy feet. A xEw methodl of beet sugar mianufac tureo consists of submitting the juice to rono chiemmcal (yet a secret), after which It is filteredJ. Evaporation and granulation tollc w, rnud this ends the process. which is said to be0 reduced to extreme simplicity. This is a German discovery. OcuJr some soot from a chimney or a steve where wood is used as fuel, put itI into an old pitcher and pour hot water upon it. WVhen cool use It to water your plants every few days. '1lie effect uponi plants is wonderful in produtcing a rap.d wrowthi of thrifty shoots andl a great numa ber of thick, richly-tinied leaves. it is no easy matter to plug up a dia muond-dlrill bcle from which there is a strong flow of water, ficquently under great pressure. Whiei a hole ms to be plug ged there are forced into it small bags of bea aid flaxsced. The plug--made of dry pine aind from 10) to l5 feet ini length is dirivenl in aflter these bags and forces them forward In the (trill hole. Also, a hole is someties bored into the end of the plug, which hole is 11illed withI flaxseedI. The flaqset d and1( beans arec causedr to swell to suchl an extent by thme hot water that the hole is as com'nactly ?illed as though closed with umolten leadh. .Platinurm crucibles, oni being ignited, suffer a greater er less decrease in weig4ht when they are new, but after repeated ig mt ion such changes iio longer occur. ,Vomec Italian enigiineers, it is saidl, have Jately obitamerd the~ concession of a large tract of land near the i-~ardanellea, where a vein of basalt containing sulpl-ur, has eenI dliscovred (.

'Tits CARE o GOLD Fisu.-If the# are tept in a glass globe or vase, turn them .arefully into a pan of fresh water *hillo washing the glass with clear water, plac' ug in the bottom fine gravel, smooth ihells, etc. Replace the fish with a scoop aet; if you change the water twice in aeh day, the second time It will only be necessary to turn out the water gently and fill it again without disturbing the fleh. If scales are knocked off it takes two months to heal the wound. Put in a little ciacker and from one to seven house flies per day for each ish. Scrape fresh beef in fine strips and give them twice a week. When you are out of the room cover the vase with a shell or netting, to prevent tueir jumping out; do not let the netting be thick, or the air will not pass through. In summer do not let the glass stand in the hot sunshine, or the fish will die when the water becomes heated. 15EVXN rules, by which to get well ard keep well :-I. Keep the head cool. 2. Keep the skin cool. 8. Keep the feet warm and dry. 4. Keep bowels open. Tkere is no such provocative cause to disease as constipation. 5. Rest regular ly and profoundly. Empty the brain at night of all the days proceedings. Train the will toghelp do this. 6. Be careful in the choice of associates. Do not be de magnatized or vampired by people. 7. Go to bed and get up at regular hours, thus cultivating the habit of sleep. In valids need to be reconstitutionalized. Genius and intelligence should be locked up and laid away while the process of reconstruction is going on. No human being can get well In defiance of God's law. REMoVAL Op GREAsE SPoTs.-When ever oil of turpentine, bWnzole, or ether is used to remove grease spots on cloth, the application should be made on the reverse side of the cloth by moistening it with the solvent in a circle surrounding the spot, so as to approach it gradually, hav ing blotting paper )n contact with the spot of grease to absorb the fat immediately; otherwise the solvent w'l have the effect of spreading the geease over a larger sur. face instead o driving it out of the cloth. In the application of a hot iron to one side and blotting paper to the other, the heat will drive the grease out of the cloth into the paper, because the fat has a tendency to move from the hotter parts toward the cooler. TIIE MAoRUERITE .NEWsPAPER BASKET. -Take a piece of plank the lengti you desire-cut out a circle of the saine lind of wood the diameter of the length of your board-cut the circle in half and nail the long vide closely to the sides of the plank - work a design on cloth, flannel, plush, etc., and nail ;n the outside as a cover fitting smoothly-trim with a passamen terie border all round, to which may be addea a ball fimge.

Weil Endorsed by Our Cltizens. No matter how useful anything may be in itself, good endorsements seem to in crease its usefulness greatly by insuring a wider field for the display of its special merits. We were thus impressed in view of the following statements received by one of our representatives from leading individuals connected with some of the largest enterprises in our midst. Among others whose testimony was freely given was W. 11. StearnsEsq.. laster Mechanic ot the Conn. River Railroad, residing at No. 28 Boylston street, who observed : St Jacobs Oil has had remarkable effect among the men employed here. One of them jammed hh -in very badly, and by the use of St. Jacob, Oli was greatly bene fited, and the arm was healed. Another used it for severe rheumatic pains in the knee, and pronounced the Oil a complete success as lie was cured by its use. Mr. A. B. Taylor, of the "1ay & Taylor Man ufacturing Co.," was pleased to say: "My aunt, Als. Pillsbury, of blount Clair, N. J., while visiting at our house tried St. Jacobs Oil for rheumatism and neuralgia, and found immediate relief every time. Bhe pronounced it the best thing she had ever tried for the trouble. Mr. J. 1. Weston, 45 Greenwo3d street. Sept. Car Works, Boston & Albany Railroad, thus addressed our reporter: "I am one more of the fortunates who have had the good luck to hear of that wonderful remedy,St.Jacobs Oil. I had rheumatism In the shoulder severely and could find no relief until I used the Oil. I applied It and must confess I was surprised at the result. I am almost well and expect to be entirely so in a few days."-Sprngflcld (Maas.) Union. A COLLEGE WAO. --In a certain college under Presbyterian auspices not a hun dred miles from New York, it is a rule that the students shall attend chuach at least once on Sunuay, either in the college chapel or sonic church in town which they shall designate, and for non-attend ance satisfactory reasuns must be given. Of course, on Monday mornings, when these reasons are called for, much inge nuity and some fun are brought out. In one of these interviews Professor L asked a student, "Mr. U-, wh~ero did ihere was au service at the First Church yesterday?" This was a poser, but was coolly met by, "I tnean, Professor, the first church i came to.,' A general laugh followed, and somehow the young gentleman got rescued. The 8t. Lois (Mfo.)

Serrvalle, nd dosigned to tell when a thread broke a a wire-covering machine while In action. 'he breakage of a silk or cotton thread in loverhig copper wires for electrical purpo. its Is, of course, a thing to be guarded igainet, since it spoils the insulation of the engLh of wire subsequently covered minus that particular lay of insulator. Signor 3errvalle, therefore, applies the electric aurrent in such a way that an alarm boll is sounded whenever a thread breaks. His device consists in nwounting the ilnus of tbread on an ebonite disk, whibch, in revol ving, lays the threa' on thpo wire. This disk is penetrated by a series of biass rods or needles, there being as many needles as there are bobbins. E ich thread passes through the eye of one of these needles on its way to the wire, and the tension of the thrend pulls on the needi" eye. The nee dles are prevented from being drawn out of the diek, however, by spiral tiprings on their other ends betiinu the disc. Opposite these ends are fixed an insulated metal disk, connected to one pole of a battery, while the other pole is conuected to all the needles. Now, when the thread is run ning freely the tug of it upon the eye of a needle prevents the point of that needle touching the inetal disk behind; but when that thread breaks, the spring throws the needle back into contact with the metal oisk behind, and the ci cult being comple ted the current rings an electric bell. This contrivance is similar to those in use for telling the rupture of a thread In reeling yarns, and it is worthy the attention of electric wire manufacturers. An old style anthracite locomotive in twenty-six days consumed 110 tons steam. boat coal, costing about $282. The h uge dirt-burning engines of the Reading Rt it road Conipany, in the same time, now consume 113 tons of buckwheatcoal, which costs a fraction oyer $01, a saving in the matter of fuel of $221, more than enough to pay for engineer, fireman and oil.
