A Paris Green Sprinkler.

It is painful work to duaS a large field of potatoes with Paris green, or to spray it from a sprinkler by hand. This fact has given rfce to the following machine for performing this work. It can bo readily mad® at home: 2

Take two old bind wheels of a wagon and fasten a platform above them, as shown in tha picmre. Upon this fx an ordinary water-tight barrel with a cover at the top,

?0\

FOB SPIU.TKLIXG POTATOE&

Make a mixture of one pound of Paris green or London purple to forty or fifty gallons of water. At the bottom have a hole with a sloprock. Attach to this apiece of rubber pipe about five feet leng, with fine nozzle for spraying at the end. At a convenient distance below and behind the barrel a smaller platform is fixed, for the operator to stand on. *.'*-

The London purple is cheaper than Paris green, and just as effective. The powder, being a mineral, is heavy, and will sink^ to the bottom, unless frequently stirred. In order to get It thoroughly dissolved make paste of the powder with a little water before putting it into the whole volume of water. These powders are both arsenical poisons, remember!

The wa|#r is put in at the top. Have the hole here large enough to admit a stirrer. With this agitate the mixture occasionally, to keep the mixture from settling to the bottom.

The object of this arrangement is to save both labor and time. The operator can with it spray three rows of potatoes during one drive across a field, in the manner shown in the picture.

Blindfolding Rami.

Here is a very simple yet ingenious arrangement to prevent rams from fighting. A writer in Tho American Agriculturist describes it Rams are usually kept separata from the flock during late summer and autumn. Tliey will stay quite contentedly with calves or hogs, but company of some kind they mu«t have. When two or more aro kept together they take spells of fighting, when they must be looked after, or they will butt each other almost to death.

BLINDER FOR RAH.

Tliey l.nvj two attacks of the fighting fever, onco in the spring, just after shearing, and again in tho fall.

Tho writer says that if they continue to show a quarrelsome disposition take apiece of leather about seven inches squaro (any kind of leather will do), and cut it with a sharp knifo in the shape shown in tho ploture. Fit the leather over the face The rounding places that are cut out fit about tho horns. Tie them firmly around the horns. Tho leather will thus serve as a blinder in front of tho sheep. At tho same time ho is able to see out tho sides quite well enough to pick grass. If he does undertake to bunt his enemy he will miss fire and shoot off sideways when he takes a flying leap, much to his own discomfiture. Holes for tho no*trils may be cut in the leather, ami it can bo tied by strings still more closely beneath the under jaw.

A Marker.

Reuben Townsend, a New Jersey man, •ends to Tho Rural New Yorker an illustration and description of the accompanying implement.

It is intended to mark the rows and the places for planting potatoes, cabbage, beans, sweet corn, eta Tho ground is prepared in tho usual way, and smoothed with the harrow and drag. Tho marker is then wheeled over the rows. The indentations made for tho seed are all the same depth and the same distance apart. The frame of the implement is made very similar to a wheelbarrow. The wheel is of any convenient sin, say two feet in diameter. The fellow of the wheel is punctured with hole* as near together as the closest plants will bo planted. The markers can be inserted in any of these holes, so as

HAtfDT MARK1R.

to give any desired distance between hills. Thcee markers aro made of wood, with the part which enters the wheel made to fit ckwely into the holes, while the hole-making portion made egg-shaped, so that the soil will not so readily adhere to it. The depth of the drills is regulated by a bag filled or partly filled with sand or stones, the weight to be regulated to suit the depth of trench required. ___________________

Loi»rn* or Alfalfa.

Charles & Piumb describes his experiments with what will prove a very important addition to our pasture foods, it is rich in nutriment, and a heavy grower. He has proved that it will grow in a cold climate. He says:

Lucerne or alfalfa (medicago sativa) is a very well-known forage crop in the far west and southwest in certain dry, arid regions. Tho plants belong to the legumtnom or pea family, in which art included the clovers, peas, beans, etc. Its stem is erect, succulent in it* young growth, branching, smooth, and produces leaflets in sets of threes. The dowers are small, and pale blue or purplish. The roots are tough and stout, especially the main or uq» root The plant produces an abundance of fcallage.

As a result of several season's trials I have found alfalfa to make an abundant, vigorous. healthy growth in northern New York, when* the toil Is cold and the thermometer will drop to fifteen or more degites beiow aero in winter. On April SO our alfalfa plots begin a vigorous growth, and on July 3 the 8m cutting hi usually made. One plot yielded at the rat* of over tan tons per acre of green fodder another seven and one-half toot per acre. Oa Jaty 17 the pled vm

again cut, and yielded at the rate Ol over fix tons per acre. On September 3 another crop of over three tons per acre was harvested, and on October 3 one plot was cut, which yielded at the rate of over three tons per aero. Tb*se plots have made good growth for three successive years. The foliage is very succulent, and the stock of the farm relish it very much. The average height of the plants just before making the first cutting was two feet four inches, as near as could be ascertained, though some plants attained a height of two feet nine Inches. The plots were not manured.

On July 10 I made a root washing bed from abed of alfalfa. The roots descended quite vertically into the soil, and many of them were large and stocky. Afoot below the surface one root measured three-eighths of an inch in diameter, and attwo feet depth nearly'one-fourth of an inch. Fibrous roots were not at all abundant, though penetrating to a depth of four feet below the crown, where a bed of hard, tenacious clay was encountered. One large tap root was traced three feat ten and one-half indies below the surface. Yet in sandy soil or sandy loam the roots of alfalfa penetrate to a greater depth than almost any other forage plant, and Mr. Gould mentions an instance in which the roots were traced to a depth of thirteen feet It is this ability to penetrate to a great depth in search for food and moisture which makes this plant of so much value in those regions where shallow rooted plants can not be grown except by irrigation.

In conversing with farmers who have endeavored to grow alfalfa in northern New York I have been told that they find it difficult to make a "catch." I have had no difficulty in this respect. Sowing about twenty pounds per acre in May, the seeds germinate and produce plants that do not attain a cutting size the first year, but after the first year the crop is a generous one, as four harvests the past season testify. I believe It will pay northern farmers to give this plant a trial, for I think it will succeed in many places. Bimply prepare the ground as for clover. In curing for hay it will be well not to allow the plants to dry too much, else the leaves will rattle' off. The crop should be cut before the plant is at all advanced in blooming, else the stems will become woody. If cut aa soon as a good succulent growth is mado anew crop will soon be under way. For soiling or for ensilage I consider lucerne an admirable plant. It does hot 6pread at all, and if desired can be easily eradicated by cutting below the crown of the plant. In trying it the farmer need not fear that it will remain on his land as a troublesome pest _____

Hay Barracks.

Timothy meadow will produce more timothy hay to have one-third of the crop clover. The latter keeps the soil loose, mellow and damp, and the timothy makes heavier crop.' Sheds or barracks can be made cheaply to store such hay. One twenty feet square and twenty feet high, with a movable roof, will do very well without bearded sides. Such a barrack will hold twenty tons of hay, and with a horse fork can be easily filled twenty feet high.

The cost of a bay barrack of this kind will be paid for the first year in the better keep'injjj of twenty .tons'of nay. "Tfre roof should ibd made asji^hta^ possible,' so tWt it cari be raised and lowered, as it is filled or emptied.

It should bo light enough so that one man can raise or lower a cdrner at a time, at his Convenience. Without this it will have to be boarded up, as the rain and snow would blow under the roof. But if the roof is raised as it is filled, in haying a load can be {hrt in 'at oriy timd, as it'iii in a barn, and then it is safe.

Great care and good judgment have to be exercised to have the hay cured just right, and when it is right it should go immediately to the barn or shed, as mixed hay cannot be saved successfully in cock in a rain. So it is all important to have a place where hay can be stored just as soon as it is ready. Nearly half of all hay cut when it is stacked is spoiled. Where clover is, the water will run in—it will spoil in for some inches all over the stack, and a considerable of a layer at the bottom is worthless. And when a stack is opened in winter or summer to feed it is at the mercy of the weather, which it always of the worst character at tta wrong time.

Or, if you do not like the barr\?!:s, i:ake sheds with stationary roofs, hoy can be twenty feet wide and as long as desired. It Should be sloped all one way, and if covered with boards, in&ie pretty steep. It is best tobaVe tho highest Side face the east, as the heavy, darfiing' showers seldom come from that direction. If tho hay settles after put in, it would bo better to put on boards extending from tho roof down to the hay tc protect it—Iowa Register.

The Cabbage Worm.

The cabbage worm can be driven off by a decoction of smart weed, or tobacco stems, or by kerosene emulsion, made by mixing sour milk with two parts. coal oil by thor ough churning or shaking, and then diluting with twelve times its buik of water, or by mi-Hng one ounce of yellow hard soap with one pint of coal oil, and then with six quart* of water, and sprinkling through a watering pot, or by dusting with "slug shot"—Indiana Farmer.

Clover Bloat.

All farmers know the fatal effects ol clover bloat on cattle. I cure mine by tying in the animal's mouth a smooth round stick from three to four inches in diameter. 1 put a little salt in the mouth to make them chew and swallow. In twenty to thirty minutes the gas will pass off through the animal's meuth when the stick may be removed.

Hanging: Basket lied.

A respected correspondent, who evidently knows the feeling of a father, senrls the accompanying fketch and picture with a suggestion that they be reproduced hera The suggestion is accepted with pleasure. This something which belongs to science and progress both.

A woman is the inventor of thi* unique convenience. She gives a description of it in Babyhood. She writes of it: "There is many a mother who is obliged to keep the baby in her own bed because her deeping room is too small to admit a crib, in addition to the other necessary furniture, and also many a mother who cannot place the crib by the side of her own bed, thus necessitating her leaving her warm bed to attend to the wants of her nestling, however cold the night my be. To such mothers I would recommend a hanging basket to be suspended over the foot of the bed.

INT ANT'S BED.

"There are oval willow clothes baskets that are very suitable for this purpose and inexpensive. A crib without legs or a shallow box could be suspended in the same way, fitted up to suit the taste. .But a basket has the advantage of being lighter, hence more easily handled. It can' be swung to the wall and fastened out of the way when not in use. With a soft little mattrass and pillow and light warm covers the baby can be made much more comfortable, said less liable to take cold than when kept in its mother's bed. Whenever the baby needs attention its mother or nurse has only to raise herself in bed to give it and with an outstretched hand she can adjust the covers at any time without even raising herself in bed. A ring can be fastened at the top through which can be passed a width of mosquito netting and drawn down to the bottom of the basket, the two widths closed forming the entire curtain. To keep the basket from swinging it may be fastened to the bedstead with a couple of cords. One of these hanging baskets in the sitting room near mother's easy chair proved a secure nest for two little baby boys I once knew. It took up no room on the floor. $•, "i

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MATL.

The Banana Plant.,^

This fruit is becoming such an important article of food that some notice' of it heta will be in place. It is probable that milk and bananas alone would keep an average grown person in good health and nourishment the year round. The fruit is like old Weller's tripe, "worry flllin' for the money." Well ripened, it is healthful and nourishing.

THE BANANA.

Whole shiploads of the mild, pleasant banana come to all our seaports. The trade is increasing every year, and is becoming something immense. The plant was originally brought front the Ea&tf Indies, and is a variety of plaintain. In the most southerly part of the United States it flourishes richly. The islands about New Orleans are vast banana plantations. In Florida there are great fields of it, and it promises to become an export from that state only second to oranges. It grows abundantly also in Central America and the West Indies.

When allowed to grow at will the plant becomes a tree sometimes forty feet high. But it is not cultivated in this way for profit The roots are planted in rows. They soon shoot a sprout about four feet out of the ground. Then three or four more appear at short intervals, until as many as edghtesn show above the ground from one root If all these are let grow there will be no bananas. So all the sprouts except two or three of the healthiest are destroyed. The sprout will mature in ten to fourteen months.

The first evidence of fruit is a brilliant purple flower. This soon gives place to innumerable little bananas, which rapidly grow to maturity. The next sprout comes in bearing from three to four weeks after the first, and others follow at regular intervals throughout the year. Each sprout bears one bunch of bananas, and is cut down when the fn it is harvested. The bananas grow in rings about the stalk, 73 to 100, or even more, upon one stalk. The dealers cut a bunch into clusters and half rings for sale. Such a cluster contains half a down to fifteen different specimens, and is called in the trade language a "hand" of bananas. That is because the long, slender fruit looks somewhat like fingers. TUmnn anciently were called "the food of the wise men," because they were what the famous and mysterious wise men of India were supposed to live on. 71m yellow bananas cfene mostly from the coast of Costa Rica. With the exception of a short season in midwinter the New York market is continuously supplied with this fruit

The banana is a wonderfully productive plant, it being estimated that land which wilt oroduee 1,000 pounds of potatoes win produce 44,000 pounds of bananas. It is estimated that land sufficient to grow wheat enough to feed one man, when planted to wii] feed twenty-five. Betides its Cmit the banana plant is made available in other ways, its young leaves are cooked as greens. The old leaves are filled with an acrid juice which stains white doth an indelible black or dark brown. The fibres of the leaves make a textile fabric of gnat beauty, known as a fine kind of grassdoth. A plantation wiB yield all the year by timing the planting, although the crop is much mors abundant at on* smson.

Banana* are as ten raw, oat of hand, or cut la slices and served with sugar aad cream,

or witn oran^w ju re. Ttiey are cooxedvither gresn or rips? by frying in batter or alone. Tuey are also made into puddings or pies. The banana is the delight of the small boy and its peel is the terror of pedestrians. Invalids ect it with impunity, and strong men devour it School girls dote upon it and babies of nil sizes cry for it

Fannie B. Ward, who visited the banana plantations of Mexico, writes: Planters have found it best to raise bananas with their coffee, for their broad leaves not only afford the dense shad? which young coffee trees require, but the falling shards make an excellent fertilizer, while their roots absorb and retain the moisture so much needed in this thirsty soil. Bananas grow so qpickly as to produce great bunches of fruit by the second year, and a small income may be derived from them before the coffee begins to bear. They ripen well after being gathered, ship early and find a ready market Speaking of the nutritive powers of tha banana, or plantain, Buckle, the historian, remarks: "One acre will support fifty persons, while an acre sown with wheat will support but two persons. It not only produces fruit in abundance within one year afier being planted, but every three months thereafter, if the proprietor cuts away the old stems and leaves a suckar."

Our Fate in the Stars.

The storms of this year are remarkable for their severity and destructiveness. Never have there been recorded such blizzards as were reported last winter, and such tornadoes and cyclones as have* occurred in the west and southwest this spring. In other respects the weather of 1886 has been remarkabla

What does it all mean! Many years ago Dr. R. T. Trail, wrote a pamphlet which aimed to show that a cycle was approaching during which the earth would be greatly disturbed by celestial conditions. This period he said would be in the present decade and the acme from 1884 to 1888. There were to be great earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tornadoes, hurricanes, cyclones, diseases such as cholera, smallpox, dreadful epidemics and remarkable thermal condition.

The doctor based his baleful predictions on astrological theories, and largely on the occulta ti on of the planets and the conjunction and juxtaposition of the stars. These positions of the heavenly bodies are facts which the astronomers foresaw years ago, but iti* remained for Dr. Trail to weave such tales of horror from the facts as predicted^ in his work in that subject

We begin to fear his predictions were based on well-founded theories. At least the unusual phenomena of the present year ^aiid, in fact, of the pastjthreo or four years —justify such conclusions. It is to be hoped that the period of intensity is reached, and that a return to normal conditions is next in order.—Orange County Farmer.

Kilt Plaited Skirts.

Kilt skirts are now made in wide scant plaits to prevent them from being heavy and to save the material. A good plan is to lay the plaits seven inches wide, and fold them not quite three inches beyond the edge. Each plait is then tacked to two or perhaps three bands of strong wide tape that pass arotnu) the skirt on the wrong side but this must not show on the outside, as the plaits should hang easily, as If they were loose folds merely pressed there. A hem four inches deep, held by two or three rows of stitching, is sufficient finish for the kilt skirts of plain stuff drfsws. But the kilt Is now used for mors dressy fabrics, such as canvas, veiling, cashmere or grenadine, and may then be laid in very fine plaits, and bordered with four or five rows of inch-wide ribbon, sewed on before the plaits are laid. For cashmere or etamine watered ribbons are used, but those of plain satin or gros grain are less expensive, and just as pretty.— Harper'sBexar.

Doing Over Old Dresses.

With the present fashions old dresses may be renovated with little trouble and at moderate expense. For this purpose there are embroidered panels, beaded aprons or quilles of lace, with ribbon bows. Any one of these trimmings will change the whole effect of a dress. Beaded plastrons and lace guimpes serve for the waists. As lace dresses are to be as much in vogue as last season, a very slight modification in the arrangement of their trimming will enable many ladies to dispense with the purchase of a new toilet Cream colored and ecru etamines can be renovated in two ways. If the article is of a fine quality it can be cleaned, and consequently made like new. If the goods are not of a superior SOT t, and ore only a trifle faded, it may be carefully ironed and combined with trimmings and material in a darker shada Chestnut and tobacco brown are the most suitable colors for this purpose.

Bonnet Pins.

Ornamental hair pins are now worn not only to dreis the hair at home, but on tho street to keep the bonnet in place. When employed for this latter purpose these pins are usually of gold or silver, both tops plain sometimes, but oftener carved or decorated by a knot or ball. The pins are stuck vertically into the hair at the back, and not through the bonnet as an ordinary bonnet pin would te—Jewelers' Circular. f, N :,Jk ,s.
