INCREASING THE SIZE OF FLOWERS. hor.
ticulturist OF the suburbs of Versailles, in
studying the physiology of the vegetable
kingdom, conceived the idea that the small.
ness Of certain plants-thc violet, for exam
ple-was owing TO an atmospheric pressure
too great for their delicate organs. Having
fixed this idea in his mind, the florist con-
ceiyed the notion of putting his idea into
practice. Providing himself with a small
balloon, rendered sufficiently tight to prevent
tie escape Of any gas, he launched it into
the air, having attached it to slken cord
twelve hundred metres long. Instead of .
car, tho balloon sustained a hower.pot of
Parma violets. This experiment has been
going on about two months, with the most
wonderful results, in the shape Of vlolets as
large as Bengal roses. 1t is expected that
the above experiment may be turned to somo
account.

TUE Rusr IN WnEAE--An old farmer, an
Intelligent friend, who was cultivating the
soil successfully years and years ago, informs
the editor of the Fayetteville Observer, that
rust in wheat need not be feared before the
last of this month Watch closely, and as
soon as II appears, commence cutting-don't
delay, but begin At once, and the rust will
die an hour from the time the wheat falls,
the nutrtivc juice in the stalks will rush to
the heads, and the grain thus managed will
be nearly as good, if not quite, as that which
is left standing to arrive ut maturity, undis.
turbed by the rust. The informant speaks
from experience. One year he lost his en-,
tire crop in consequence Of the ravages Of
the rust during another, he saved It by the
course here indicated.

said, Yes, and il took off the head OF the

the surgeon proceeded to remove the bone !;
it came out quite easy, when the doctor said
to the man, whose face appeared to resume
its form pretty well, "Can you move your

"Oh yes, sir" was the reply.
The doctor then put his finger in the mans
mouth, and at length assured the soldier that
it was not his jaw that was broken, but that

REGULARITY IN FEEDING AN1MA1s-It

REGULARITY IN FEEDING AN1MALs.-It
is very desirable, both for the thrift of
the animals and the orderly progress of
the labors of the farm, that all domestic
animals, as far as possible, be fed, wa.
tered, &C., at the same hour and minute
every day. 1t has been found by expe-
rienced and intelligent herdsmen that,
when thus attended to, they learn to ex-
pect their fodder at the stated time, and
remain quiet and accomplishing until
that period comes around. This is true
of all domestic animals, and should be
needed by the farmer. Let him so ar
range his labors at the barn that every
operation may be performed at stated
time, and he will find matters to 20 on
much more comfortably and pleasantly
than when all is left at haphazard, with.
out system or regularity. Few things
are more unpleasant to the good farmer
than the complaints of hungry stock.

INSTINCT OF PLANTs.-Mr. Seeman.
the naturalist of Kellett's Arctic Expe-
-dition, states curious fact respecting
the condition of the vegetable world du-
ring the long day of the Arctic summer.
Although the sun never sets while it lasts,
plants make no mistake about the time,
when, if it be not night, it ought to be,
but regularly as the evening hours ap-
proach, and when a midnight sun is sew
eral degrees above the horizon, droop
their leaves and sleep, even as they do at
sunset in more favored climes. 'If man, :"
observes Mr.. Seeman, ''shouid ever reach
the pole, and be undecided which way to
turn when his compass has become slug
gish, and his time-piece out of order, the
plants he may happen to meet will show
him the way; the sleeping leaves tell him
that midnight is at hand, and at that
time the sun is standing in the North"

DEsERTION IN THE ENGLISH ARMY.-
Desertions to the Russians from the
Crimea are reported. The first deser-
ton noticed In the accounts from the
Crimea was of marine employed at the
batteries. 1t was given out, to produce
an effect, that he was "a Yankee" who
had found his way into the English navy,
and the letter-writers at the seat of war
were at pains to circulate the report that
the dastardly deserter was not an Eng.
llsh soldier. As the nationality of the
deserters, subsequently, is not given, it
IS safe to conclude that they are not
" Yankees"
