Agriculture Under Difficulties. 11 You are aware that the Agricultural De- ' partment at Washington is in the habit of I distributing seeds to those tillers of the soil who happen to want them. Last I spring my Congressman sent me a large . ‘ package of choice assorted garden seeds, ; brought by the department from California. There were more than I wanted, so ( I gave a lot of sugar beet and onion seed > to Cooley, my next-door neighbor on the | right, and some turnip and reddish seeds . to Pitman, my neighbor on the left. Then I I planted the rest—turnip, cabbage, celery and beet seed—in my own garden. !; When .foe plants began to come up I j. thought they looked kind of queer, but I ‘ waited until they grew larger, and then, as I felt certain something was wrong, I ‘ sent for a professional gardener, as I don't I know much about such things myself. “Mr. Hoops,” I said, “cast your eye over those turnips and tell me what you think is the matter with them." “Turnip!" exclaimed Hoops. “Turnip ! Why, bless your soul, man, that’s ’. nut turnip. That’s nothin' but pokeberry, i You’ve got enough pokeberry in that bed to last a million years." “ Well, Mr. Hoops, come over here to Uiis bed. Now how does Uiat celery . strike you! The munificent Federal i Government is spreading that celery all over this land of the free. Great, isn't J i‘l" “Well, well!” said Hoops, “and they . shoved that off on you for celery, did they? Too bad I It’s nothing on earth but pokeberry. That is the = California kind. The deadliest pokeberry that was ever invented.’’ ' “Are you sure you're not mistaken, )|r. H«'P»* But you haven’t seen my ' beets there in the adjoining bed. The , • I of tho<e l>eets were sent from Hono- , lulh by our Cohsul there. He reports that the variety attains gigantic size.’’ “ R<ally, now," said Hoops, “I don't I waul to hurt your feelings, but to be fair, and xpiare with you. as lietween man and man, them's nd beets, you know. Them's . the Mexican pokeberry. J pledge you my ; v.’td. it’- the awful, -t v.-iruty of tllat . plant that :> to.-v.vi-c. You IT never get rid of ■ It.” 7 I “ This seems a little rough.

He’ll kill somebody, I'm f .afearw.” " Subse-picntly I settled with Cooley and i Pitman; but oughtn't something to be , done with that Agricultural Department ? It will break up farming in this country if t it is allowed to continue.— Mat Adtlrr. t [ — • I Torches for the Codling Moth. s ‘ 1 For a numlwr’of years my attention has » I been called to the ravages of the codling • I moth among our apples. So numerous • and widespread have they become that • | wormy apples are how the rule and sound 1 * ones the exception. Various remedies e have been suggested and practiced, such • a* hay band* and woolen doth* around • the trees, cans of sweetened water sus- •; pt-nded from the limbs of the trees, etc. 1 The hay hands in piost cases have • proved a positive injur)-, as they or cloth 1 would be pnt on and allowed to remain c during the entire season, thus furnishing • ' the beet place for lire f I worms. Tlte cans catch some moths, but ! are not uo,l by enough orehardists to have • any appreciable effect on the number of sound apples. Those who have picked up their windfalls early in the season and fed them to i hogs * cattle, also those who have let e hogs or sheep their orchards, have B j socceeded In realizing a fair crop of rear sonably sound apples. Rut the numtier ■* of (wrsona who have their orchards in a a shape to let the sheep and swine roam at f will amqng them is comparatively small. 1 principally because they have not a proper T fence around their orchards. ? Last March I moved into a house that • had been nsed aa a storehouse ftw apples • the previous fall and winter. About the r I IM to the 15th of April the moths (little • brown fellows), about one half of an inch “ long, became so numeroos that they covI ered the windows and at night flew into “ ‘ the chimneys of our lamps and around so fc JMto be quite annoying. Acting on this hint I a torch, made similar to i - torches uscvl in torchlight processions, >- ami placed it in my small orchard several e i night* just after the apple* had set. The >- result was that I gathmed a sounder lot of i • apples last fall than I had for a number of k j years. Hl The coming season lun going toplace a 1 tewches al intervals of, say, six rods apart, B < over my orchard. I believe if this wu» get»«relly practiced the coming season J that we might get rid of thia great enemy e to the apple.

Prof. Reynolds demonstrates this with colored water. Each drop sends down one or more vortex rings. The actual size of these rings depends on the size and speed of the drops. Such a transposition of water from one place to another must tend to destroy wave motion. —ln Australia kangaroo skins are becoming an important article of traffic, and experts declare that they make the toughI est and most pliable leather in. the world.

It also makes the best of morocco whips, gloves, etc. Os these skins some are exportrtl’in their raw state, and others after being manufactured. The kangaroo is widely distributed throughout the colonies, and great numbers are slaughtered yearly for their skins. —The self supplying water apparatus for locomotives is coming into very ex-tensive-us<' in this country.

It is not generally known that good glass will stand a compressive strain but little inferior to that proper to ordinary wrought iron, the proportion being a* seven to eight. Expermeuts have been tried on glass bars and rods in a similar manner as with iron, I : with the above result. Unfortunately, the tensile strengtlr of glass as estimated at present Is very small,-, not exceeding in the best examples more ,than a ton and a half per inch of sectional area. It is not impossible that the strength of tiiis material. bot)jz«*sregar<i* its compression and tension, might be increased by a better annealing process and by oilier means, if there was once created a demand , I for glass possessing these properties to a greater sxtent. Its advantages are that it 7can be readily both cast and rolled into, any form; the ingredients of its manufact- ; ure- are cheap and abundant; it is completely unaffected -by acids, with the ox-' ception of one. with which it can scarcely accidentally come into contact, and is not attacked by the weather and the th.>u>and and one causes of deterioration which are so fatal to iron. In addition, it is about one-third of the weight of the latter material. Ws think that glass would playa more important part as a constructive material if attention were drawn to the qualities it possesses—qualities no doubt capa- ' bl<■ of considerable improvement.—A*. T. i ■ j The Age of Bronze. I . " j Tn a predominance of bronze as the material of ths article* found in the later , pile-dwellings has given to the fourth t prehistoric human epoch its name—the Ag* of Bronze. While wine of these lake village* continued in use from the Stou* Age. others—usually those farthest out in . the lake*—evidently originated in the Age of Bronze. There is no longer room to doubt that the bronze articles of Switzerland were [' | made near their place* of discovery, and h i were not brought from the East, according > to the common view. Some of the very f molds in w hich they were formed have been < discovered, and at Nantes the remains of : a foundry have been plainly made out. Whether the bronzes of Northern Europe : are of Pticenlcian origin is yet in doubt. Their symbolisms arid religious adaptations are in favor of that view. The na- \ ’ tire origin of those of Switzerland to set--1 tied by the analyse* of Prof, von Falleni berg; for, whereas the metal of Phenicia, Egypt, and the East generally contain h-ad 1 in considerable quantities, that <>f SwitzerI land is of tin and copper only. So much * | artistic taste and mechanical aktll are ! shown in these various articles—needles, rings, i armlet*, etc — that many of them 1 might be used by modern ladies with--1 out discredit to their work-boxes ' or toilets. But, in singular contrail ' to the Stone Age. there to no relic of any portrayal of man or heart or plant. We 1 meet, for the first time, with pottery ’ tamed on the lathe and wdl Osrurtl.

♦ strawberry Caltare. The cultivated strawberry has come to be a necessity for the mass, and it needs no apology for urging its culture upon •very one who owns a rural habitation of a few feet of land that maybe appropriately applied to the purpose. Sexually considered the strawberry is of three kinds: hermaphrodite, pistillate and staminal? the first being perfect in itself to the production of fruit; the second requiring the aid of one of the other two: the'third barren, not capable of producing perfect fruit. I Sorts.—Any soil where Indian corn will | produce a crop will grow strawberries; still, like the former, the better the soil is prepared the better the crop; yet some varieties seem to elect a different soil from others; but there is no soil which will grow any plant blit that some variety may be grown thereon. The large and improved varieties require a rather moist, deep soil, than dry; especially is moisture necessary from the time of setting of bloa- | sours and frujt to maturity of the same. ' Heavy and close soils should be under-drained, subsoiled and the mechanical condition rendered suitably porotts. Sandy soils require applications j of muck or black earth to retain moistiire. j. Thorough culture of any toil is requisite for greatest production. Manure.— Compost manure seems best adapted for the strawberry. Muck, leaves, ‘ ashes, old pasture sods, applied alone or composted with good stable manure, are • good. Mineral and pliosphatic rather than . animal fertilizers are to be preferred for i application to the plants; top-dressing the i soil about the hills is always beneficial. r»mr to Plant.— Either early spring or September is the suitable season; but for : Northern latitudes spring is the best or most successful. Plants carefully set in ' September will give a partial crop the next season; spring set will bear very few if : any. All half-dead or defective leaves <honld be trimmed off, as also the roots pruned. More setting. Young runners are best for setting at any season. Ploo/t o/ —Garden and field culture are : very similar. In garden culture the plants • are set in taxis, three rows on each bed, I rows eighteen inches apart, and plants <rt in rows, Cloudy, moist weather is most suitable, but they can lie set in any weather with suitable care If set when dry a good soaking of pure water must l>e given each plant after setting in the For field culture set . your plants in rows thirty Inches apart and plants eighteen inches in the row. Pistillate varieties will require every sixth row to I* set with hermaphrodite varieties for fertilization. Keep perfectly free of weeds and well - cultivated; keep .Zhe j runners cut. or st most train intQj&MQmitted row system. The last is least trouble and gives best results frequently, but the; ■ will hold in bearing longer where the runners are kept cut clean. A good mulch soon after setting will preserve the plants from drought on dry soil. At the approach of winter it will benefit the plants to cover them and the whole Soil with a slight covering of strawor evergreen Isnighs; they winter better and are more productive the following season. If Covered with straw it should be ojiened off the ; plants as'soon as they start in the spring, to ; be left till after fruiting; evergreen lantghs removed entirely as soon as freezing w eather is past When the beds begin to fail new ones should be formed on new soil and the old ones occupied with some ! other crop, for three or four years. New plants are grown by allowing the runners from plants to grow and strike root; and, the second from parent plant is best for new plantations.' - Varieties are numerous.

As regards the cruelty of keeping pets, it goes against the grain to use so harsh a i term of so amiable a weakness, and for Uiis especial reason: that the young people who keep pets are generally in after life | those who are the best friends to animals. Still, there is H great deal of cruelty in keeping pete—not so much directly as indirectly. There can be no doubt what- | ever ;of the barbarities frequently employed in those devices by which jiets are caught and tamed'and rendered amusing; and there van be no doubt that we make ]H'ts of creatures which were never meant Ito be made pets of, so far aa what they were or were not meant for can be gathered from certain visible signs. Os course this remark applies chiefly to the feathered . creation. But, on the other hand, there are some birds, such as parrots and cockatoos, which, if longevity and apparent uproarious spirits go I<>r anything, cannot be said to pine away in the confinement of a cage, varied by occasional constitutionals upon a balustrade, or an area railing, or a window-sill, or even upon the shoulders and necks of their tormentors, and which can be taught, without the slightest cruelty, not only to divert their owners and their owners’ friends with a choice selection of diabolical noises, but also to ‘’speak like a book.” Indeed. the allegation of cruelty in the mere keeping of pets is somewhat difficult 1 to maintain, ami the term certainly would ' be most wrongly and idiotically applied in the case of those creatures, such as cate and dogs, which really appear, to like the ; society of human beings. Ont would be | inclined to say that, so far as pets, when ■ they once liecome pets, are concerned, the d cruelty practiced toward them consists ichiefly in overcoddling, overfeeding, ami whatever else arises from thoughtless in- . dulgrnce and willftil or ignorant disregard of an animal's natural constitution. Manv a bad quarter of an hour, too, must . be passed by the dog, evidently worthy of I a better fate, whose e.ves, as he wdffin in his overcoat of many colors a few yards : behind his mistress, are tinted wilfully but helplessly toward the spot where half a dozen of hh poorer relations are having a low but exhilarating romp iu the public streets.

It would probably answer equal- j Iv well with*jquasb''s and similar p ants: Dig holes twelve inches square, eight or ten inches deep; fill up w ith well-rotted horse manure to tlie surface. On this put two inches of soil. Then take a four-inch , flower-pot, set in the center, draw the re-;; mainder of tlse soil in about four inches . deep, then, giving the pot a twist around, ■ : withdraw it. This leaves a hole four ! inches deep bv four wide. In this drop! five or six seeds, and cover to the depth of three-fourths of ;in inch.

ProLFari.rr. of New York, opyraacd the u*e of the knife tn removing an ovarian tumor, but waa overruled by a council and the life of the patient was sar rifleed- When too late it waa admitted that if she had been let alone she would have survived many .year*.

The usual practice 1* to cauterize the (kin, which tend, not to remove and cure the trouble, but to scatter and smother It under the »kin. A ease occurred In Buffalo where a alight attack of eryfirn alas waa treated with cauterization to that extent that nearly the whole surtai e of the body waa gone over. The disease left the surface and settled upon the hesrt. aud his early demise was expected. After a year hnd passed my attention waa attracted to his case by acci- , . tent. I directed my course of treatment so as to aid nature to throw the disease upon tho surface sgr.m and relieve the heart. Although It was a work of time and drew largely upon my patience, I ultimately succeeded. I «m now satisfied that if IM proper course bad been taken In many extreme casesof chronic dlscaae. neuro - might have been wrought where only failure has been the result. By treating the seat or cause of a disease all the recuperative force* of nature are encouraged and come to th, physician’s aid. A favorable result would hardly lie expected where the opposite course is pursued. Here is a esse In point: A man wealthy and Inßuential waa lying in momentary expectation ot dying laone of the wards of a Loudon hospital, revere! yearsago, inthe last stages of consumption. One night there appeared a tumor under the clavicle. Aa it Increased in *i*e it pressed hard upon the windpipe until there was great likelihood that he would autocare. During this time the patient's lung, worked and panted violently. Finally the tumor all at once begun to subside, and the patient sank into aconiatose state, from which the attending physician said he Wof.id never emerge. In four or are days he begun to revive. had leas fever, less cough, gradually improved, and in a few weeks became comparatively a well man. The same physician soon after had another case of hereditary consumption. After a careful examination he told the partent that be had passed Ini” ’be third stage of consumption, and that hl* fl»a«<v was Incurable. but also gave she history of the case abbvv related and its satisfactory termination. After consulting she former patient lie returned to the hospital and allowed the physician to try an experiment. A silver band with an ivory ball attached w»s parsed around hie neek and -drawn tightly, and after the patient had become accuatomed to it th, ivory ball waa pressed dov-n harder and the band drawn more closely until the person was r.egrty suffocated. The lungs by this experiment ferr yisiently exetetoed- Finally the nicer* in the luiys were broken and a great quantity of matter was discharged. ■, The pressure was relieved and tnereased from day to day until the lung* were greatly enlargedandtheulcer* broken up. The patient finally recovered- The physician treated the cause of the disease, ssd sne-cee-led. The experiment enlarged the lungs and cured the consumption. To be continued by N. 8- Dodge, M.
