Hot Water for Plant.
It is a fortunate circumstanc?, says
Vick's Magazine, that a plant will en
dure a scalding heat that is fatal to
most of its miauta enemies. Water
heated to the boiiing point, poured co
piously over the stun of an enfeebled
peach tree, and allowed to stand about its
collar, will often have the happiest re
storative effects. Trees showing every
symptom of the yellows havo often
beea rendered luxuriantly green and
thrifty again by thU simple means.
Tho heat is presumab'y too much for
the fungus which had infested
tho vital layers of the tree imj
mediately under the outer bark.
The London ftarMs recommend hot
water up to 145 degrees F. as a remedy
when plant arc sickly, owing 1 3 the
soil souring, tho acid, absorbed by tho
roots, acting as a poison. The usual
resort is to the troublesome job of repot
ting. "When this is not necessary for
any other reason, it is much simpler to
pour hot water freely through the
stirred soil; it will presently come
through tinged with brown. After this
thorough washing, if the plants are kept
warm, new root points and new growth
will soon follow.
Hearing- Young Duck anil Turkr.m.
The dillicultics m.-t with in rearing
young ducks and turkeys arc chit-fly
due to the same excessive feeding. Soft
food is recommended by nearly all the
writers upou poultry reari-jg. It is
quito safe to approximate natural con
ditions in respect to feeding as closely
as possible. Tho natural fool of the
wild turkeys and ducks are har J -shelled
insects, seed', a vegetable matter; aud
these birds rear full brood upon this
diet. A food commonly recommended
for turkey chicks is chopped egg, curd
of milk, and bread crumbs, with red
pepper. Perhaps the pepper is useful to
help digest the egg and curd, but it is
oot otherwise require 1. For three
seasons pat tho writer has reared full
broods of young turkeys on corn and
buckwheat coarsely ground and fed dry.
To rear the whole of a brood of
12 on this food without at.y difficulty or
ailment at the supposed critical times
suggests the suitability of it to the ne
cessities of the young turkey., and the
dryness of the food is doubtless one ex
cellent feature of it. Ducks do not re
quire soft food, and crushed oats fed in
a shallow dish with water in it meets
their natural requirements and habits
exactly, and is a safe and excellent food.
When a iy young bird appears stupid,
sits down aud sw.tys its head iidewisc,
with half-closed eye, it is sulT ring
from overfeeding, aid this is thj way
in which nearly all of thj lost ones ilia.

How- Huiiy Jlral forth? (on!
It may seem a s:na.l matter to dis
cus, whether a dairy herd should be
fed twice or three times a day, yet if
twice is enough, ns many bcliivc, it is
not so very small a m:tt ,T. Wc have no
doubt that instances could be cite I on
either si le, which, taken alone, would
seem to settle tho question. If a cow i;
under-fed in two meals, or if h-.r two
mcais are devoi.1 of proper nourish
ment, i vo:i if full in quautity, the ad
dition of a third feeding iniht h crease
her ll jwof milk or ad 1 to Ur weight of
flesh. Th .re is no doubt, whatever, that
cows may b- fed well, so they will do
about all they are capable of doing
by either two or three meals per d iy.
We h-.vu practiced both systems and
can hardly &ay that there is very much
difl rtnee as far as the cow is concerned.
She can take her food in ;vo meals or
in three, according to the convenience
of tho feeder and will do well either
way if the food h sufficient in quantity
and qmlity. JJ jt wo Uvu found it a
co.'iv rJence to have our stock accus
toms! to the two-meal hy.stem. It is
trpeci-iily convenient in the winter sea
son, when tho days arc short, and the
sattb are taking but little exercise. In
a very cold barn, possibly, cattle
might need to be eating most of the
time to get foo 1 enough to
keep warm, Lut dairymen have no use
for cold barns for their cows. Our
stables should be so warm that no ex
cessive anr-unt of hay and grain will be
require! for maintaining animal heat.
Two feedings per day give the farmer
tho whole of the middle of the day for
such employment as ho may choose. He
can go to the woods aud stay iill tho
tun gets low, or he can drive a few
miles to attend tho grange, or visit
friend, without feeling that he is neg
lecting his cattle.
The cow has a very different stomach
irom mat of the horse. It is mado
to!
hold a large quantity of coarse, partially
masucatcu lood that cau be rcmastica

wc have been feeding cattle but two full
meals per day winter or lummer, when
confined to the barn, and wc arc fully
satisfied that two meals for average
dairy stock are fully ns acceptable!
the cow and fully as profitable to the
owner as three meals. Wo aro also
satisfied that when cattle aro fed late
in the morning, as most aro in the
winter season, two meals are better
than three. A cow that finishes her
breakfast at eight o'clock has no very
sharp appetite for dinner in four hour.
ind in many cases tho noon meal is
more of a disturberof rcmastication and
digestion than a benefit to the animal.
We were surprised to see how quickly
cows would adapt themsclvos to the
two-meal system, nnd would Ho and
:l'.ew the cud at njou whea por
jons were about tho premises. They
aot only learned not to expect feeding,
Out soon learned not to care for it.
It must be remembered, however.
hat tho morning or . night meal is not
necessarily given at once, but is better
given in small feedings continuously
till enough is given. A big mangei
full of hay may be breathed upon and
picked over till the last of it becomes
distasteful. Dj not overfeed whatever
the system adopted. New Eiglaud

In much of the ensilage fed to cattle
there is enough d.-velopmcnt of alcohol
to stimulate circulation, aud, possibly,
to beget appetite for that kind of food.
Some one says: "A good mess of

more benefit to tho pigs on cold days

be still better to warm them and feed
them raw.

If the land requires drainage it means

the soil should be du j iito with a

When the Danes want a butter that

is allowed to stand twenty four hours

is that tho development of flavor is
controlled by controlling the changes
in the milk aud cream before churning.
This is because of the fact that tho de
velopment or change is very rapid in
the milk or cream, and comparatively
slow in the butter; the rapidity of

WATERSPOUTS.
The Tornadoes and Whirlwinds
of the Sea.
Theory Concerning the Forma
tion of these Phenomena.
Such an unusually large number of
waterspouts has been reported off this
coast and in tho western part of the '
north Atlantic ocean during the last two j
months, says tin New York Commer
cial Adverser, that the government 1
hydiographic service has taken advan
tage of tho data furnishod by ship cap
tains to compile some interesting infor
mation about them. Several theories
are supported as tho result of those com
pilations. Up to wilhi l a comparative
ly few years little was scientifically
known regarding them marino phe
nomena. Sometimes theso waterspouts
were observed to movo along tho ocean
with immense rapidity and at other
times to remain almost stationary. They
have been shattered by a gun shot, and
at other times they have disappeared of
themselves.
Tho general theory regarding tho
character and formation of waterspouts,
which these latest reports bear out, is
that they are simply special cases of
tornadoes and whirlwinds, but on a
much smaller scale. These arc princi
ples underlying, all these phenoraenas:
A layer of warm, moist air at tho sur
face of tho ocean happens to havo above
it a layer of cooler, drier air; this con
dition of things i; one of unstable
equilibrium, and sooner or later the
warm, light air at the surface rises
through the cooler and heavier air
above. This process sometimes takes
place gradually over large a rears, but at
other times it is more local, and there
seems to be formed in the upper layer a
break or opening through which the air
of the lower layer begins to drain up
ward, as through a funnel. Under
favorable conditions, that is when the
differences of temperature and moist
ure and the supply of warm air
at the surface arc great, this ac
tion becomes intense, and this in
tensity is still further increased by the
condensation of the rising air and the
liberation of the latent heat, which
drives it upward. As this surface air
rushes in and escapes through the open
ing thus formed in the upper layer, it
takes up a rotary or whirling motion,
the velocity of which increases toward
the centre or axis of ths funnel, and a
suction or partial vacuum is created, as
is indicated by the low readiug of tho
barometer at the centre of a cyclone or
whirlwind. In the case of a great cy
clone or hurricane, the direction of ro
tation is determined by the revolution
of the earth about its axis, and the well
known law of storms is founded on tho
fact that this rotation Ut in the northern
hemisphere, invariably against, and in
the southern hemisphere with, tho hands
of a watch as you look at it when
laid down with the face up. In the
case of tornadoes and waterspouts this
direction of rotation is not so uniform,
although the same law holds good in
most cases. When a whirlwind is thus
formed over the ocean water is often
irawn up tho centre of tho whirl for
some distance, owing to the suction
created, and at the same time the mois
ture of the air is condensed as it rise,
so that tho name "waterspout" is very
applicable. When a spout is forming,
its upper portion is often visiblo first,
3ecming to grow dowiwarl from the
clouds. By observing carefully with a
telescope, however, it has been seen
that tho motion in tho column itself is
upward, although tho mohture in tho
air which is rising is condensed lower
and lower down, thus rendering tho
whirl visiblo lower down continually
and making it appear to bo actually
descending.
That portion of the north Atlantic
from the northern coast of Cuba to tho
fortieth parallel, and from tho Atlan
tic coast of the United States to tho
Bermudas, is pre-eminently a region
where waterspouts are liable to occur
owing largely to tho warm, moist air
which hangs over the Gulf stream and
the cool, dry air brought over it by the
northwesterly winds from off tho coast.
The Number of Siberian Exiles.
Tho chief paper of Ekaterinburg pub
lishes some interesting information
about the number of persons exiled from
Russia to Siberia for political and other
offenses. On January 1 of tho present
year the number of these prisoners of
both sexes in tho provinces of Irkutsk,
Yeneseisk and Yakutsk amounted to
110,000. Of this number 42,000 were
in fixed places of residence, 20,000 wcro
employed on different works, and
8,C0O had escaped. In Western Si
beria it appear tho number of prisoners
who evade their custodians was still
greater, for a census taken in tho towns
and villages showed tint tho enormous
proportion of sixty-seven per cent, of
the prisoners were missing. Tho papor
throws no light on what becomes of

Some Advantages of a Fruit-Diet.
"Fruit ami fruit -culture, as related to
aealth,'' was the subject of an address
by Professor II. W. Parker before the
Iowa State Horticultural society, in
which working amoni; fruit and living
with it aro commended to a population
who become bilious on excess of meat.
In temperate zones, tho author says,
"tho dire experience of almost universal
disease, and the evidence of those who
have freely used fruit, point to this as a
most needful article of diet; and when
we come to the tropics wc find that men
must confine themselves mostly to fruit
diet, a practice that should be largoly
followed in our long, hot summers; yes,
with our present habits of unwhole
some liviug, especially in respect to
confined air and cooking, must be ob
served in winter as well. In the warm
tcmperato climates there are
enough examples of muscu
lar, long-lived pooplo who live
on a minimum of anim il food, such as
those of tho Grecian Archipelago, who
subsist on goats' milk, figs, and maize
bread. Indivi lual examples are to the
samo effect. Dr. Winship began as an
invalid, and by athletics and diet at
tained such vigor that ho could lift
twelve hundred p unds. He indulged,
we are told, occasionally in sardines,
and for the rest depended on fruit and
farinaceous (that i, starchy) food. The
recovery of health iu grape cures shows
what may be sought in that direction;
the peach cure has lately coniu into no
tice, and doubtless any ripe, fresh,
juicy fruit, if not of a kind too astrin
gent or laxative in certain cases, would
do as well. I can testify that a piart or
two of strawberries, twice or thrico a
day, soon recovered mo from torpidity
of the liver and consequent constipation,
increasing for a year or two; and yet
this is spoken of as not of an aperient
sort. Since then my only medicine is
fruit the year round." Popular Sci

TESTIMONIAL OF HON. THOMAS
PAULK, OF BERIEN COUNTY.
Would nor Tnke 81. (MM) for it-Ilclieved of
15 Years Suffering from Dyspepsia.
A LAVA HA, Ga.,.Tune 22,1887. B. B. Company,
Atlanta, Ga. Gentlemen : I had suffered
from that terrible disease, dyspeDsia, for over
fiftien years, and during that time tried every
thing I could hear of, and spent over three
hundred dollars in doctors1 bills, without re
ceiving the slightest benefit. Indeed, I con
tinued to grow worse. Finally, after I de
spaired of obtaining relief, a friend recom
mended U. li. li. (Botanic Blood Balm), and I
began using it ; not, however, expecting to he
benefited. After using half a bottle I was
satisfied that I was being benefited, and when
the sixth bottle was taken I felt like a new
man. I would not take $1,000 for the good it
has done mo; in fact, the relief I derived from
it is priceless. I lirmly believe that I would
have died had I not taken it.
Kctpuctf ully, etc., THOMAS PAULK.
"I Gave Up to Die."
Knox vi Md-:, Tesn., July 2, 1S7.
I have had catarrh of the head for six years.
I went to a noted doctor and he treated me for
it, but could not cure me, he said. I was over
filly years old and 1 gave up to die. 1 had a
distressing cough; my eyes were swollen and
I am confident 1 could not have lived without
a change. I sent and got one lottleof your
medicine, used it, and felt better. Then Igot
four more, and thank God! it cured me. Use
this any way you may wish for the good of
sufferers. 31 ns. Matilda Nichols,
