Vigorous Potato Tops. A good deal can be told of a field of potatoes by a good judge merely seeing them as he passes along the road. Though the tuber is underground its productiveness is usually indicated by the more or less vigorous growthef stems and . leaves above. Too many s-ma!l 6tems indicate a great number- of small potatoes. This is often the fault of varieties that grow their tubers in a bunch. Those which spread more will bear much heavier seeding. The Peach Blow extends its roots so far that a whole potato of this variety may not be too much for seed, though if planted i whole only three or four eyes will grow. Those wnich start first absorb the strength that belongs to the others, and these consequently remain dormant. Pta'.rie Fanner. Death lor the Potato Weevil. A correspondent of the Ncio Eivf arnl Farmer gives the following directions for destroying the grubs of the potato weevil: "Take an . ordinary manure hod, one that is broad and light to carry is to Le preferred, and grasping it by the hole for the left hand near the mouth of the hod, with a broad and binber broom carried with the right hand, pro ceed through the field, placing ths hod against vines infested with grubs aud gentlv beating or sweeping tuem over i the edge of the hod and into it with the broom. In this way a great majoiity of ail the grubs in a small potato patch may be.gathered in a short time and de stroyed. This may be of service, espe cially in caes where there are ob ee tions to the use of the poisons offered in the markets. A litne practice will enables person to do execution with the above implements with . considerable dispatch.'' Mating- Bntter. Professor Arnold claim3 that the old idea that the souring of cream develops butter flavor is a mistaken one, and said that sotsrlng lias no influence upon llavor at all unlil it is strong enough to com mence injuring it. Butter flavor is increased while the cream is ripening, but it is effected by the action of the air upou the fat in the cream, and not at all by fermentation. The most advanced butter maktrs maintain the perfect exclusion cl the low cooled milk .and cream from the air. Whenever w arm air or air com paratively warm comes in contact with colder milk or cream or water, or any other liquid, the warm air, touching the cooled liquid, is condensed and deposits moisture in the form of dew on the cold liquid. With the dew thus deposited go all the impurities the air may con tain. In the c-ise of milk and cream these deposits impair in a marked degree the flavor and keeping quality of the butter mv.de from them. It is not es sential that air should be excluded from milk until its temperature falls to the temperature of the surrounding air, but when it drops to that point ex.lusicn frpm the air is important. Ijhurninir, according to this class of dairymen, ought to be done at the first appearance of acidity. They say: "Do ot wait until the cream crets infcnselv f and stale.

Hale, of Connecticut, an ex perienced and successful orchard 1st, writes to the Xrrurlzan Ayri uUurlst: ".Moss is found most often on pear trees not in a vigorous growing condition or in moist, 6uady places. The mos3 is a sort of fungus growth, which is easily kept off by washing the trees with strcng soap-suds. This treatment pro motes the growth of a smooth and healthy bark. If the trees arc badly mossed over now it will be the best to take an old hoe and scrape oii the thick est of the moss before washing the trees, and then wash them two or three time during the next two months. In the fail, after the leaves are off, spray the whole tree with soap-suds, repeating this early in the spring. There is noth ing like it to promote clean and thrifty look'ng bark. At Elm fruit farm we make a borer wash for our peach and and other trees and it also answers the doable purpose of keeping out the borer and keep'ngthe bark clean and healthy.

There is now known but one geuerDllv successful practical means of preventing the injuries of the colling moth, and that is spraying with arsenates. The es sentia! point in this method of treatment is to have a small quantity of poison lo-.lge in the depression ia the hostom ed of the apple l-efore it turns duwn on its stem, thts supposition being that when the newlv-hatc-hed e.-aiT.Mu- gr.-aw-i t:;c s'ujn p jc.ra ory t enteric"" i ua- fruit, .t will c: euta-jkn'. u,ju t be del' end is best accomp i?bed byU ur the poison in a watc: pray b'n-i of a force pump and spray noz- ; "Wttlc io a tine- mi....

The poison should be formed into a paste with a little water, before stirring into a large receptacle. Of course it must le remembered that these substances are deadly poisons, and all reasonable care should be taken that no accidents occur through their use. Protect the hands of the operator with close-fitting gloves, and apply the spray so that it will not be breathed by men or horses. Keep stock out of the orchard for some time after the application is made, and do not spill the poison in quantity on the ground where it will be accessible to -an- imals of any kind. Always keep the poison itself in tight vesseis, plainly la beled "poison." and out of the reach ot children. No danger need be feared from eating mature apples that were poisoned when the size of peas, for chemical analysis has shown that the extremely unall amount of poison that Iodizes on ihe fruit is dissipated long before it ma tures. Xuw York Uercti: CnbtJajTo and Potato Cnlfnre. Planting two beds of radishes not ex ceeding a square rod in extent near half an acre of cabbage i suggestive of a pos sibility, says Galea Wilson in the New York Ttihnne. There are every day and every hour more ca'uage butterflies on the "radishes than on ad the cabbage. Cabbage worms trouble very little and their ravages are not feared much, for a teaspoon ful of ashes to a plant soon "coopers" them. The radish beds, how ever, were aiive with worms until a flock of house sparrows made the discovery that those beds were a good foraging ground, and now there are not worms enough left to "put into tea." It has been observed that cabbage fleas and other parasites trouble Winuigstadt cab bages less than other varieties, because the foliage possesses toucher epidermis; in fact, ibis kind escapes almost entirely while other sorts in the same field are damaged considerably by the flea. The best looking lield of potatoes I have seen in years was planted on old sod ground plowed last fall and again at planting time, when the seed was dropped into csery third furrow and plowed uuder. A smail portion of the field was not p'ov.;edthe second time, but furrows were opened and then turned back on the seed. On this portion the growth of staik is nly about half the other; they Lra being -cultivated and worked thor oughly: the-oid sod is pulverized, but they are not doirg well. This shows that for potatoes all the suriare soil shoaid be in good tilth before planting. If my theory be correct, that a heavy rain oc curring when p-otato stalks are six inches high' assures a good Tield, other things being right.there will be a bountiful har vest this year, for it has rained nearly every week since planting. Experiments in Feeding Laml). The result of experiments made a different times aud places in feeding p gs has demonstrated that when fed to the.se animais nitrogenous food produces a much greater per cent, of muscle, and non-nitrogenous a greater per cent, of fat. To ascertain if lambs would be af fected in the same way, an experiment was undertaken during the winter of 1S67-8 at the agricultural experiment station of Cornell University, Ithaca, I. Y. Six lambs six months old were chosen with careful reference to unifor mity in size, weight, shape, and of the same blood. On the 10th of October they were shorn and placed in a box Stall together and fed alike till Novem ber 11 to prepare them for the experi- I ment. ' Cn November. 11 they were diyided into two lots of tbrcj uiu, iac toial weight of each lot being a3 nearly equal as possible, At the beginning "of the experiment lot -No. 1 was fed daily one and a half pounds of oilmtal and one and a half pounds ol coarse wheat bran. Later on one pound of cotton-seed meal was substituted for one of bran. Lot 2 was fed three pounds of cornmeal daily. Both lots were fed as much timothy and clover hay as they would eat up clean. All ate their rations with avidity up to the last of December, when that of lot 2 had to be reduced for a short time to two pounds, and it was not until March j, when four pounds of mangolds were added to the rations of both lots, that they could be induced to cat their full rat on of cornmeal. The experiment ladel 1K davs. The difference ia t:.e amount of water drank was very marked. Lot 1 drank HI pounds in 0 days: lot 2, 21 pounds. All were slaughtered April 20. The live weight of lot 1 was 21 pounds greater than that of lot 2. In proportion to live weight, the dressed weight of lot No. 1 was '.) per cent, greater than lot 2 The wool of lot 1 was 2; per cent, greater than the wool of lot Io 2. The bones of the hind legs of lot 1 were 21 per cent, stronger than those of lot 2. It is thus seen that the valuable parts are larger in the lot fed on nitrogenous food. The experiment is only one of a series to be et tried; b it from its re sult the fact may be deduced that the effect of feeding an undue proportion of non-nitrogenous food to sheep is to de d ea-e the prcdu.t of wooi y 0:1? euarter, the strength of the 1 ones by OLe-:hird, and to nduce the proportion of both fat and ban meat. As no' one of these is desirable in sheep'husbandry.we may conclude that corn alone is not the best food for sheep. In this experiment there is no evidence that the ration rich in nitrogen caused any marked increase of lean meat in lot 1 over that in lot 2. A"crr York World. Farm and Garden Xotes. Look after the fences occasionally. A lamb should not Le despised be cause it is small. The farmer, not the retailer, should ha-e the main proilt on milk.

AYhon vou feed grain throw it among litter and let the fowls scratca for it. A supr.lv of salt should be pUced where cows have access to it every day. little time a little care wih often -ive bilberries and bigger satisfaction. The successful farmer care? for the littles, r.d allows nothing to be wasted. Careless farmers will soon begin to realize that weedy seed is a bad invest ment. When you gather the eggs set them in the cellar and keep them as cool as pos sible. The clematis is a good, hardy peren nial. It should be propagated by root grafting. Larc imported hyacinthbuibs should be added to the home stock each year to strengthen them. The gram and grass crops will Fell to better advantage if turned into meat, butter and cheese. Hard, intelligent work, and keeping at it, insures success on the farm, as it does in all life's duties. It pays to plow deep, harrow thor oughly, sow carefully, till diligently, and harvest at the right time. No farmer should rest satisfied until he is supplied with the best farm tools and implements he can obtain. It is almost work thrown away to set trees, shrubs or flowers, and then leave them to take care of themselves. If vou have nothing worthy to exhibit at the fair, theie must be something wrong abo.it your system of farming. No dairy can be successfully worfced without a thermometer. Don't use cheap ones. Jet those which test correctly. Onions are one of the best vegetables you can feed to fowls, but if led too fn e'y to laying hens they will flavor the eggs. Place small brick tiles underneath your flower beds, about a foot deep. Then turn water into the tiles until it shows at the surface and you may be sure the beds are well watered. Warming water for stock is a subject being much thought of by farmers. It may be done with either wood or kero sene, at a moderate expense. Guarding j against lire is the problem most to bd : studied. Death from Lightning:. The majority of deaths from lightning occur in the level, open country, trees, villages and thickly b iik-up towns and cities, by their projections into the air, serving as conductors and thereby pro tecting the inhabitants from direct stroke. The los of life annually i throughout the world is verv great. In European llussia from 180 to 1377 no less than 2270 persons were killed by this cause. In Austria during the same time 1700 persons were likewise killed. In Prussia it is reported that seventy persons are annually killed. Ten thou- tand persons are leported as ha. ing been struck during s. period of nine and more, we may infer that we shall neve! twenty years, with 22V deaths iaUphprliUin-s;; France: while in the United States dur- ing ls70 alone 2U2 deaths irom lightuing were recorded. The effects of lightning stroke Are most interesting, cunoua aud appalling. The general symptoms are usually a shock. Theie is often unconsciousness, sometimes coma, lasting fiom a fer nours to even days; partial or complete loss of sight or hearing, associated with airment of the other senses. ill' tissues may be burned superfi cial! y or deeply, the bones fractured and portions of the limbs are torn off entire ly. The tracks of lightning on the sur face of the body may have a fancied re semblance to the blanches of a tree, the main stem from which the branches lead off arising at any portion of the body. The skin in thee tracks may be simply scarlet in color, s'igbtiy swelled or b is tered, the branches tapering off until no larger than the scratch of a pin. They may pass in all directions from the place first struck or skip about from one part to another. This is due to the conduc tion of the current by the clothing, which if wet acts as an excellent coa d uctor. G?vjc- De mocra t. Origin of Two Inventions. Several yfars ago a member cf a firm of glass manufacturers was traveling through the West. While on a railway which skirts the shores of a great inland lake, he observed that the plate glass in the windows of the Pullman car was marked with mysterious figures, unde fined in shape, but of a singularly airy and delicate lightness. On iuquiry, he learned that the marks were made by the sana, wh.ch was blown aganst the windows fiom the beach as the cars passed. I pon returning home, he be gan a series of experiment in directing a shower of tine sand against the surface of gla-s in definite shape. The result was the dis ..very of the sand-blast, by which the most delicate figures are out lined upon glass with exquisite lightness and accuracy. , The discovery of a process of pnnmv. 1 ing was due to similar keenness of s ght, I an el leadiuess in using a hint. Prince liupert, a quick-witted, scientific man, xmio nveu in an unscientific age. once stopped at a forge to have his horse shod, nd laid his gun upon a damp bench while he waited, until the blacksmith should have finished his work. When he took up the gun he observed that a piece of white paper on the bench bore in fine dotted lines the name of the maker which he cut on the metal. Out of this hint, he evolved the process of etching on copper known as Mezzotint. touti'a Contiiuaion. Water Power in the United Slates. The American Statistical Association publishes seme interesting figures on the amount of water-power era doved in the Lnited States. In 180 there was a total I water-power equal to 1,223,370 hcrse- puwer uieu ior manufacturing purposes this being 35.0 pSr cent, of the total power thus employed in the States. The annual value of the water-power thus utilized is set down at 24,00j,000. lheNew England States alone use 34 5 j per cent, of the whole water-power of j the country, and altogether the Atlantic ' Mate3 use ever three-foarths of tlic whole. tlic 1 IIC310R OF THE HAY.

So I became his." Time. Hat-Wearing: and Baldness. G. O. Rogers, says in the Poyrar, Science Mon lJif : "During several yiS residence in IIongKong, in my profes sional duties. I had to do with a goodly number of persons, representing a larga variety of nationalities, aud in my study of these people I found that many theories deduced from local experiences at home were, in some cases at least, hardly broad enough to cover ail facts found at large in nature bearing upon the spe cific points of investigation. Familiar with some of the popular theories as t the cause of baldues, I was surprised to find men who always wore a covering to their head and during business hours and always when out of doors wore 4 very tight hat, were never bald and pos sessed a wonderfully strong, thick i:ead of hear. I refer to the Parsees ( I crsian?). There is a sacred, religio s law rmong them that no man shall go with his he id uncovered. When the Mohammedans invaded Persia, the major part of the n irivc Persians th-it were r.ut extermi nated lied farther east into India, l".:nd protection and a welcome home among the Hindoos, a people of castes, and ia order that these strangers should always be identified, also knowing that their re 1 gion obl-ged them to wear a head -cover, a law was passed to compel ail Parsees to wear a certain style of hat whenever ex posed outside of their own private home. The hat prescribed is as tall as?.n Ameri can silk hat with no brim: it truly might be called a "stove-p pe." This hat ia worn, inclining backward cn the h-sd fiom thirty-five to forty degrees, and, in order to keep it on its place, the brim is made to cling very close to the hraJ; beir.g so t:ght and so constantly v.-ora that uitc a deep depression is cau-ed substantially nrounrl the head; it seem' n it the skull might be involved, but, not hiving the opportunity of e .aniin in t cne, I was not able to fully deter mine. Whenever this hat is removed, skull cap immediately takes its pb.ee In my professional duties these hats of ten had to be removed, and it appeared to me as a curious fact if some of tke popular theories were altogether true that these people should never be bald. Therefore I instituted a series of strict inquiie?. Many of these gentlemen spoke English intelligently, also French, t erman, Persian and their local Hindoo dialect, some of whom kindiy allowed J r.n examination of their he ids, and also ass. ire J ie tLat thsrv had never knowu one of the t rae that v;as bald.
