The Blue Ink which appears to be grow
ing into general favor, is in part composed of
one of the most poisonous substances in ma
ture-that is Prussic Acid-the Ink being
4 solution of the pigment called Prussic Blue
which is compound of Prussiate of Potash
and Iron. This Ink, therefore, must be
very dangerous article in the hands of chill
dren, as well as grown people, who are in
the habit OF putting their pen in their mouth,
III order to cleanse it. 1t is said one drop Of
this acid in its pure and uncombned state,
when put even upon the nose Of a rat, is suf-

STEAM FIRE ENcINEs.-A writer in the n.
ork Journal Of Commerce recommends the
Introduction of fire engines, to be worked Inv
steam. The plan, if practicable, is worthy of
attention. One who looks at a locomotive
engine and imagines its acting on q forcing
pump, cannot but see in it the means of pro-
jecting water with force far greater than is
attainable by manual labor, and possessing
the Invaluable advantage Of not being subject
to fatigue. A few engines, containing the re-
4ulslte qualities ofl.ghtness, power, and faci-
,ity Of raising steam, would be adequate, it
was thought, for our largest cities, and far
more efficient than the present manual labor
system.-New Orleans Bulletin.

MISTAKE IN THE CULTURE OF
THE BEET.

am one OF the root ralsers-growings sugar
beet, nangel wurtzel, ruta-baga, and potato
for feeding stock. And as farmers may, in
my opinion, be as useful to each other by re-
porting their mistakes and failures, as their
success, l will mention that my beets were
fourishing, and won the admiration of the
public passing by them as late as the first
week in the seventh month (July.) But the
weather becoming hot and dry, and the ground
harder than liked, concluded to run the cul-
tivator through them to loosen up the soil
The consequence was, instead of improve
ment, the leaves began to wilt, curl, and the
edges of them to die-thc mangel-wurtzel,
worse than the sugar beet but all declined
from that period until the late rains at the
present, the original top is nearly all dead,
and a new one formed, which bids fair to rival
the first, if left to stand long enough. But it
10 supposed the root, although a pretty good
size, has lost much in growth by the decay of
the first top, and its maturity protracted, if in
deed the crop be not much diminished. NV
inference is, that late culture, even if the
weather be seasonable, may be injurious by
destroying the fibrous side roots, which seem.
ed to be indispensable to the plant during its
latter stage-and that consequently the earth
should be kept in good filth while it is young
and afterwards let alone.
The best crop of beets i have raised, was
in 1897, altcrnated between rows of corn; a
full crop of the latter was obtained, Gas we
bclievcd,) and three hundred bushels of beets
per acre besides those in open patch along
side did not do so well the shade of the corn
seemed to be useful during the dry weather
l intend repeating this plan next year.
