AGRICULTURAL ITEMS.

A fakmkr fnrrow(Hl Iiis swarded field. And faltcled not fur the day ; He (fit front the north a frot-wind Mow, And the path of the sun w:i gray, AnJ the -lieat-bii-d's whistle he heard from the Imusjh, And he knew thai the weevil oft followed the j'iow. lie Wit his lowly form to the task, LVlii-vint; his la'lmr a prayer; So he plodded the pace of a cheerful man, Prrparinir his ground with eare; W h i.t led and idudd.-l, then cast amain lor t tic harvest hour the seeding grain. A farmer sat in his cottage door, "iy'liuc a noon-tide nap, And the whitened wheat a-n-.s the way, Waved on the meadow's lap; "With heavy heads, in a slumtieriti:? haze, The stalks pent down in the August days. As the farmer dozed, he dreamed and smiled, !-'or his acres wave! on his eye; And then the clink of tile reajiers be heard, And his stacks and his mows swelled high ; And over his cheek a soft tear crept, For the joy he felt as he nodded and slept. He woke : in the haze of the hot afternoon, In health was he bent to the snath, And over the fields the gavels stretched, In many a winding path; The vision he. saw had lightened his task, And he learned that to pray we iu labor should ask. Coal ashes have a -wonderful effect upon pear trees, especially those crowing in light soil. Our ashes of lasf winter were used around trees in liberal quantities, and those so treated have outgrown anything in the orchard. Some that were even sickly, and apparently ready to give up their hold on life, have been restored to perfect health by these remedies. Treks that have long stems exposed to hot sua or drying winds, become what gardeners call, "hide-bound." That is. the old bark becomes indurated can not expand, and the tree suffers much in con sequence, buch an evil is usually inch rated by gray lichens which feed on the J I. . 1 T . 1 .. uecayuig oarK. in tnese cases a washing ol weaK lyeorot limewaterisverv usetul : indeed, when the bark is healthy, it is beneiiciai mus to wash the trees, as many ogqs of insects are thereby destroyed. We would, however, again refer to" linseed oil as a wash, as far more effective for insects, and would, perhaps, do as well for moss and lichen. After all, these seldom come when trees are well cultivated. It is neglect makes poor growth, and poor growth, lichens. IJoth ewe and lamb recognize each other's voices, and, amid the'most deafening sounds, run to meet one another. There are few things more amusing than a sheep-shearing. We put the flock into the fold, set out all the lambs to the hill, and then send the ewes to them as they are shorn. The moment that the lamb hears its dam's voice it rushes from the crowd to meet her, but instead of finding the rough, well-clad, comfortable mamma which it left an hour, or few hours ago, it meets a poor, naked, shivering a most dejlorable-looking creature. It wheels about, and uttering a loud, tremulous bleat of perfect despair, flies from the frightful vision. The mother's voice arrests its flight it returns flies, and returns again generally from ten or a dozen limes before the recognition is perfect. Rural New Yorker: Hops are considered valuable as a fertilizer; but when used frc.sh from the brewery, they ferment quickly, generating almost as much heat as fresh horse manure. The gardeners about New York use hops for their hot-beds, also for banking them up on theoutiide in cold weather, mulching for small tender plants, and for composting with other less healing kinds of fertilizers. But before hops can be absorbed by plants as a fertilizer, they must become soluble in water, the same as any other kind of manure. Consequently, the more thoroughly decomposed before applying the sooner will they be used by the growing plants. Still, th hrma lmxeu in the soil may have a mechanical or chemical influence highly beneficial independent of their manurial value. ' Even the cacti of the Western plains can be made useful; we are fast learning that nothing in the world is worthless. An ingenious inventor has just started a ninety horse-power engine, crushing cactus into puip for maklrg paper. He sends twenty tons of this prepared fibr every week to a publisher in Philadelphia. He has a paper mill of his own, suid will use the cactus nulr. from tl,o deserts of the Pacific slope instead of straw, raitnerto, ualiiorma has imported nearly all its paper from the East.. But. this discovery will lead to the erection of paper mills there, and the production of paper so cheaply that it will bear shipment to the Atlantic coast. The supply of cactus in the California mountains is almost unlimited, and probably its use may even reduce the price of paper in the markets of the world. Thus, the desert thistles of the almost untrodden slopes of the Pacific are to aid in the diffusion of intelligence and learning, A correspondent of the American Ajriatl!uri-d says: borne fifteen years ago I had a small apple tree that leaned considerably. I drove a stake beside it. tied a string to a limb and fastened it to the stake. The next year the limb blossomed full, and not another blossom appeared on the tree ; and, as Tom Bunker said " It set me a thinking' and I came to the conclusion that the string was so tight that it prevented the sap from returning to the roots; consequently it lormed fruit bud3. Havi ociaigc euuugato hear hut which had never blossomed, I took a coarse twine and wrapped it several times around the trees above the lower limbs and tied it as tight as I could. The next spring all the taps above the cord blossomed as white as a sheet and there was not one blossom below where the cord was tied. I have since tried the experimcnt on several trees, almost with the same result. I think it is a much better way than cutting off the roots. In early sum mer, say June or July, wind a strong cord around the tree, or a single limb and tie and the tighter the better and 3-011 will find the result satisfactory ; and next winter or spring the cord may be taken off. J Adulteration of German Seeds. IXew Haven (Conn.) Palladium. From the result of recent investigations it appears that the Germans ?re beating the world in adulterations. The old stories about Connecticut wooden nutmegs, basswood hams and shoc-pe"-oats will hearafter fail to excite much interest. Mr. E. H. Jenkins, Yale '72, formerly in tho Yale Scientific School who has recently spent some time in the German experiment stations, and is now associate director and chemist in the Connecticut agricultural experiment sta- , wt r A , , O f V- V. uiuugui over some samples of seed adulterations largely practiced in Germany, which can be seen at the station by any one interested I he process consists in grinding up quartz rock, carefully sifting out the particles of proper size, and drying them to the color of the seeds to be adulter ated. Here are artificial specimens o various clover seeds, for example, so perfect that only a practiced eye would detect from one-fifth to one-third of the adulterated seeds mixed with the genuine product. These artificial imitations ot t lover seed are supplied at one to three cents per pound to be miil witi. seeds worth fifteen to twenty cms per pound Mr. Jenkins and Mr. Warnecke who also brought over several samples of the adulterations in grass seeds, are now investigating the seeds of this country, not only to see how far such adulterations are introduced here, but also to test the percentage of vitality in those soli in our markets. It ia well known by the initiated that some unscrupulous dealers buy up and mix old lifeless seeds carried over from year to year, with the new crop, selling alias fresh seeds. This it an additional important work carried n by the Connecticut agricultural exporiwent station, which will be decidedly useful, not only to Connecticut, but to the whole country.

Boston Baked Beans. A lady writes to the Chicago Tribune of this favorite New England dish : A short way of giving a recipe for Boston baked beans would be : li Do just the opposite of what Western housekeepers do," i e: Boil them all day, and bake them half an hour. At least, they will begin in the middle of the forenoon to prepare beans for a neon dinner, and, after boiling a long time, will put them into a drippine-pan. no matter how laree.

and bake half an hour, and I suppose well satisfied with them, thoueh by ex posing so much surface to the heat of the oven half the beans are hard, if not burned, and the rest quite white. No ' Eastern, or at least Now England house- j keeper of my acquaintance would think i of beans cooked in that manner fit to ! eat. In the first place you need an earthen or stone jar I understand that regular Boston, or Down-East bean pots, are dow to be had in Chicago, but I could not find one when I came to the city fifteen years ago, so I provided myself with a small stone jar, narrow at the top, which has done good service. Now to the method of preparing the beans : Wash, then parboil half an hour, then bake all day or night. As to the seasoning, it is much a matter of taite. Some like them with a good deal of fat, and into a pot that would hold a quart of beans would put half a pound of pork (salt), cutting through the rind as if to slice, then laying it at the top so that the rind may become nicely brown. Then some add a tablespoonful of molasses. We do not believe much in pork, so only put in a very thin slice of it, adding a little salt and omitting the sweetening. But the main point, after all, is the baking. In Boston, as your husband will tell yv, they are baked in a brick oven all night. We do not have these here, but in winter we run our cook-stove day and night, and have our beans and brown bread come on to the table steaming hot for breakfast, for all that I can see, as good as if baked in a brick oven. But the heat must not be fierce, but moderate ami steady. Now I often read in The Jlomc, where some one says : " I have seen no recipe for such a thing as good as mine," and that is just what 1 have thought when I read brown bread recipes. A Boston man wants a loaf of brown bread with his beans, and the recipe I have was used by my grandmothers on both sides, and all their children and grandchildren to this day use the same. One quart of rye meal (not flour), two quarts of corn meal, twothirds of a cup of molasses, into which beat a teaspoonful of soda, add a teaspoonful of salt, and mix quite soft with boiling water and bake. This recipe makes a loaf that fills my bread pot, which is a common gallon stone jar. It will keep for days or weeks, for aught I know, in cool weather. But in cooking the bread sometimes, in these high winds, the draft is so strong that it is impossible to regulate a stove so but what the crust of the bread becomes too hard before the inside is thoroughly done, bo of late on ironing days I get the beans into the oven by breakfast time or before, and set the bread into boiling water, and let it cook until about three o'clock, and then put into the oven to dry and get a little brown crust by five o'clock dinner time. The more anything made of corn-meal is cooked the better and healthier it is. Ancient Engineering. Louisville Home and School. A Suez Canal was constructed centuries before the time of Cyrus the Great, and engineering had had no little share in recovering the lower tracts of the valley of the Euphrates from the Persian Gulf long before the Sargonids wielded the scepter over Western Asia. Iron found in the ruined palaces of Assyria and in the great Pyramid, built four thousand years before our era, proves conclusively the knowledge of that metal at least six thousand years ago. Engineering operations such as require the skill of modern mechanicians to accomplish were accomplished in Egypt long before Greece and lionie had been heard of. They have left 110 record of the means by which obelisks weighing more than four hundred tons were lifted to a vertical position, and yet such achievements were by no means rare. A stone intended to be used for the temple of Baalbek still lies in the quarry, squared and ready for transport, whose weight is not less than eleven hundred and thirtyfive tons, almost as much as the base for the statue of Peter the Great, in the transportation of which so much difficulty was experienced that the iron balls on which it was proposed to roll it were crushed, and a harder metal had to be substituted. These facts I could fully appreciate from what I saw in the royal arsenal, at Woolwich, a few days ago. In the construction of the enormous gun, intended to weigh eighty-one tons when finished, considerable difficulty was experienced in getting an apparatus sufficiently strong to lift the part already completed, and which weighs fifty-five tons, to a vertical position and swing it into the chilling pit to receive a final strengthening breech-band, which weighs about twenty-five tons more. More than a month had been employed in building the requisite machinery for this single movement. And yet all the appliances of modern engineering were at the disposal of the contrivers, and a motive lower to which no limits can be assigned. When the comparative strength and tension of iron and stone are taken into account, and the difference in the length of the gun and the obelisk, how the latter was ever lifted into a vertical position appears little short of marvelous. Singular Antipathies. Laniothe-Eevayer could not endure the sound of any instrument, and yet he ex perienced the most exquisite pleasure in the noise of thunder. Ctesar could not hear the crowing of the cock without shuddering, 'the ord Chancellor Bacon fell into a swoon whenever there was an eclipse of the moon. Mary de Medicis couia not enaure the sight ot a rose, not even m painting, although she was fond ot every other Kind of flowers.

Tycho j.raue sans clown trom weakness on meeting a hare or fox. Cardon could not bear eggs; the poet, Ariosto, baths ; the son of Crassus, bread : Csesar. of Lescallas, the sound of cymbals. The cause of these antipathies is sometimes found in the first sensations of infancy, A lady who was a great admirer of paintings and engravings Bwooned when she met with pictures in a book. The reason of it she thus explained : While she was very young her father one day perceived her turning over the booksof hislibrary to seek for pictures in them ; he abruptly took them from her and told her in a severe tone of voice that there were in the books devils, which would strangle her if she dared to touch them. These foolish menaces, which are but too common with parents, always produce injurious effects which can not afterward be destroyed. The Attorney-General of Maryland has decided that gold and silver wa'tches worn upon the person are to lie considered as wearing apparel, and not subject to taxation.

FIELD AND HOME.

Frepabation of Fertilizers and Manures. The Chrittian Union's agricultural editor says: When the farmer has ascertained the kind cf plant-food needed for the intended crop and required by the soil, he is then prepared to apply his fertilizers with intelligence and effect ; and bo far as it depends upon the mere presence of enriching material in the earth he will easily be able to bring his land up to any capacity of yield he may choose, being only limited by the expense. He will discover, however, that the mere presence of manure is not all that is required, even though it contains the precise ingredients that are lacking in the soil. The condition in which it is applied has no small influence on the eflect it is capable of producing. If any of the fertilizers are in a hard, concrete undivided mass they must be pulverized. If, in fact, they are not already in a state of minute subdivision, th?y must be brought to that condition before ap plying tnem. come ol the Baime fer tilizers are procured in a state of powder, others in hard lumpa that need to be crushed or dissolved. But the manure requirine most atten tion in this respect is that of the farm yard. It is not a little remarkable that in the very case where the process of re duction and disintegration is most of all needed it seems to be most neglected. The contents of the stalls and of the compost heap, which from the variety of materials tney compiise neea to he elab orately worked tver and subdivided in order to be thoroughly intermingled, are yet frequently carted upon the lard in rude lumps and unbroken masses that strangely contrast with the fine roots and hbers through the pores of which they have yet to enter before they can nourish the growing plant. Few farmers comprehend the importance of attend ing to this item in the preparation of taeir lertnizers. riants ieed mainly at tne extremities ot the rootlets, through mouths too small to be seen by the 1.1 n-t r . " niiKeo eye. ne nuer tne manure is made, the more easily it is dissolved in water, and the sooner it passes into the circulation. The cultivator who intends to secure a maximum crop, or even a tolerably paying yield, will find it necessary to attend to his fertilizers, whatever may be the kinds employed, and to reduce them to a suitable degree of fineness before applying them to his soil. Milking Machines. A writer to the North British Agriculturist says: Allow me to state that I tried what I believe to be the ordinary milking machine, in a dairy of fifty-five cows about nine years ago. I first ordered one, and was so well pleased with its apparent efficiency that I at once ordered a few more, and the greater part of the milking was done for about a week with them, when I found that the yield of milk and weight of curd had been gradually decreasing the time they were in use, so I at once put them aside and resumed hand-milking, when the yield soon increased to what it formerly was. This has been my experience of milking machines, and I consider their failure mainly caused by the total absence of any mechanical action on the teats or milk vessel, and not to the smallness of the tubes, as supposed by Mr. Littlejohn a very simple defect which, if it existed, could easily be remedied. The young of all mammalia when sucking, by butting with their nose and pulling, bring a considerable amount of mechanical force to bear upon the teats and vessel. For instance, who has not observed a young pig when it could find nothing in the teat butt and rub with it3 little nose all around it till it got its reward? In these days of dear labor, when the most indifferent class of dairymaids can scarcely be got either for love or money, the Highland Agricultural bociety would be doing a duty that would be highly appreciated by all dairy farmers were they to offer a 'handsome premium to the inventor of a thoroughly efficient milking machine. Agricultural Colleges ix Germany. Prussia contains four higher agricultural academies, with aout eisrhty well-paid professorships; forty-one lesser colleges, all connected with model farms ; five special schools for cultivation of meadows, and for scientific study of irrigation ; one special school for the reclamation of swamplands; two special schools for industrial agricultural ; one school for horse-shoeing; one school each for silk raising, bee, and pisciculture; twenty agriculturalstations(laboratories) for experiments and for garden culture ; th ree higher colleges and twelve secondary schools, in which the cultivation of" grapevine is made a specialty. All these schools are connected with model farms, for the practical education of students. That of the. Academy of Proskau contains no less than 2,450 acres of farming land, and 14,700 acres of forests. Bavaria, a country of 5.000,000 people, has twenty-six agricultural colleges, 269 associations for the advancement of agricultural scientific knowledge, and the celebrated polytechnic school at Munich contains a separate branch for higher agricultural instruction. The small kingdom of Wurtemberg population 1,700,000 has sixteen colleges, among them the school of Hohenheim, of European fame, and seventy-nine educational associations. Hesse-Darmstadt, whose population is not quite 850,000, contains nine agricultural colleges among them that -of the University of Giessen. Oldenbeg population 320.000 has three fnl)pa fcaxt-Weimar, with 230,000 inhabitants, supports fifteen professorships in the University of Jena, another college at Toarzen, a model farm of practical instruction at Berda; a school for tree culture at Marienhohe, seventy-five associa tions and a large number of evening schools, which are instructed through a series of lectures, held by learned traveling professors. Similar conditions prevail in smaller States. The whole of the German Empire to-day contains one hundred and eighty-four German colleges, of which number eicht are con nected with the great Universities of L,eipsic, tialle, Gottingen, Berlin, Konigsberg, Gissen, Jena; five colleges for horticulture, seventy-five practical middle schools for agriculture, twenty-eight twiddle schools for garden culture, sixteen colleges for special branches, besides an immense number of larger and smaller associations, evening schools for the further education of farmers' youths, lecture courses by traveling professors, etc. Hints lor Home I .

To fasten labels to tin cans, cut a teasponful of brown sugar into a quart of pasie, ana 11 win iasten labels as securely to tin cans as to wood. Housekeepers may save themselves much annoyance in the loss of labels from their fruit cans when putting up their own fruit by remembering this. Flies are a great nuisance but a purifier. They use up all the little particles of filth, and render many apartm'enta comparatively healthful which witkout them would be unfit to live in. 80, in shutting out flies great care should be taken to still secure the best of ventila tion, and preserve everything in the most perfect neatness. Moths love daikness; therefore, to keep them from clothing, air it repeatedly in the sunshine. To keep them from plush furniture, twice a year, on a sunny day, take the furniture out of doors, remove the bottoms from the chairs, if they can be removed, and give the cushions a gcod switching with long, pliable switches, till the dust is removed, then brush them thoroughly; while the cushions are being sunned, give the frames a coat of varnish. Has the Shape of the Organ an j JInslcal Significance i A writer in the London Musical WoM says: A recent cursory description of the well-known Mozarteum, from the pen of an intelligent correspondent in a daily paper, mentions the fact that, amongst the interesting relics of the divine cornier exhibited to the public gaze at Salzburg, is a drawing of his ear showing an abnormally large bell, as though nature intended him to be a gifted listener. It is noteworthy that iu all portraits, except those pa'inted by the sun itself, next to the boots, the ear seems to present to the painter the greatest difficulty. It is rarely one sees a shoe beautifully drawn perhaps it is still rarer that the ordinary covering for the feet presents anything that can be made beautiful, even by a skillful draftsman. With the ear tho observer cannot help remarking the same absence of individuality. Anything will do for an car, and a daub or two, that would with equal propriety represent a dried fig or an oyster, would ' do duty for the above organ. In calling attention to this matter 1 venture to submit the results of some of my own observations in the hope that something more may be elicited on this, as 1 believe, most interesting question. And I shall be extremely glad if any person who is of opinion that my conclusions are premature or erratic will kindly contribute the result of his or her individual experience: Small ears are invariably under great disadvantage. Large ears are usually indicative of a more comprehensive taste. A narrow harp or harplike opening always denotes a good ear for music. If the harp is very regular, you may safely prognosticate a correct intonation. For a singer the rim must be very even and the circle unbroken. Any protuberance on the rim of the ear will occasion a slight discrepancy of intonation the singer will not be at all times alike. Some have a double harp this is dangerous to the success of the singer. A perfect double rim is, on the other hand, highly advantageous. This it, however, open to the weakness of being easily satisfied with sweet sounds of any kind. The ear without a rim is the most dainty and difficult to please. It appetirs to receive, almost as it were by selection, only the best sounds ordinary sounds have no attraction for it. These are a few of the leading features of the ear. Seeing that we have casts of pianist's hands would it not be as instructive to have casts of composer's ears ? Surely the one is as important to tho musical student as the other.

Flower Colors. One would hardly think that the fragrant violet and the bright-colored iris would ever be utilized in commerce, but it seems that an Italian chemist has just found out that tbey may be put to some other purjxise than that of gladdening the eye and refreshing the nose. They yield, it appears, a very fine bine color, and this is so sensitive to exterior influences as to render it of considerable value to the analytical chemist. Most people know that one of the best and most delicate testa employed by chemists to ascertain whether a solution is acid or not is to dip into it a piece ol blue litmus paper, which at once reddens if the leai-t trace of acidity exists. In like manner, the reddened litmus paper may be employed in searching for alkalies, for the j aper returns to a blue tint on coming in contact with these. The coloring principle of the violet and iris is found to be more delicate still than litmus, and, for this reason, we may expect soon to see phyllocyanin for so the new color is called introduced into all our laboratories. Merchant's Gargling Oil has be

come of the most popuiar liniments that is now prepared, it is, beyond a doubt, the best liniment in the world for the diseases advertised. Its use baa not only become general in every rotate of the Union, but large quantities of this valuable preparation are annually sent to foreign countries. The Mevolution r.) The wool clip of the country in 1S75 was nearly 200,000,000 pounds, whereas in 1800 it was 65,000,000. In 1875 the country bought about $0,000,000 worth of woolen goods and $11,000,000 worth of wool. A Compliment to American Intlnstry. The Grand Niebelungen Orche.-tra at Layreuth, under the'leadership of Hans llichterand August "SVilhelmy, have piesented to llichard Wagner a beautiful Concert Grand of Messrs. George fc?teck and Co.'s make, New York, which is not only a hitrh compliment to the wellknown firm, but also to American indus try. This is the same firm that was the recipient of the only Gold Medal for best pianos at the World's Fair in Vi enna, 1S73, and which was also just now awarded the first prize at the Centennial Exhibition, George tteck & Co.'s name being placed at the head of the list of awards for pianos, theirs having again proved to be the nnest in tone and vi grt-ait-r wuriiuiiiiv man an ui.iat.-i instruments on exhibition. The Steck pianos stand thus acknowledged Vefore the world as being above all competition, and are therefore preferable to pur chasers who wish to secure a strictly first-class and reliable instrument. At our request Cragin it Co., Philadel phia, Pa., have promised to send any of our readers srratis (on receipt of 15c. to pay postage) a sample of Dobbins' Elec tric boap to try. fcend at once. Steinwuv's Victory and Laurels. The following oSicial report of the Judges of Awards, accompanying the Medal, show s conclusively that the highest honors in the gift of the Centennial authorities were unanimously awsrded to Steinway & Sods, viz : " For greatest concert capacity in Grand Fianos, as also highest degree of excellence in all their Btyles of pianos, viz: largest vol ume, purity and duration of tone, and extra ordinary carrying capacity, with precision and durability of mechanism ; also, novel disposition of the strings, and construction and bracing of the metal frame." The report then minutely describes and emphatically indorses the t-ix principal patented improvements which have made the SteinwayJ THE STAXDAKO riANOS OK THE WOF.LD. Referring to Steinway's exhibits in Ma chinery Hall of samples of hardware, metal frames, and patent tubular actions, the re port further states : "These articles of composite metal bhow the highest perfection of finish and workmanship and the greatest firmness and uni formity of metal structure, a steel-like and sounding quality, with n tensile strength exceeding five thousand pounds per square centimetre, as demonstrated by actual tests. The full nset.il frames of cupola shape possess an unequalled degree of resistance, permitting a vastly increased tension of strings without the slightest danger of break cr crack in said metal frames, thereby considerably increasing the vibratory power, and augmenting the lasting qualities of their instruments." Mason Hamlin Cabinet Organ Declared Best at the Centennial. Medals and diplomas have been so nu merously awarded at the Centennial in Phil adelphia that they indicate nothing as to the comparative merits of exhibits. The Juilgrf Jifjxtrtt alone determine rank in ex cellence. These unequivocally assign to the Mason & Hamlin Orgnus " the first rank in the several requisites of such instru ments," which "is as much," says the New York Trili u nr, " as to say they are the best reed organs exhibited, in all important qua! lties."
