The Moon and the Weather.

At the late meeting of the g Scientific Con-
gress = in Chicago, Prof. LOomis presented
paper on this subject He stated that from
a comparison of twenty-eight years af obser
walton in Germany. Schubler deduced SEN
sible influence of the moon, the number of
rainy days at the time of the second Octant
being twenty-five per cent, greater than at
the time of che forth octant. from a com
parison of observation, made at Paris, Or
ange, and Carlsruhe, Gasparin, arrived at
results not differing greatly from those of
Schubler. BY a comparison of sixteen year
of observation at Greenwich, nine years at
Oxford. and sixteen years at Berlin, MIR. Har
rison of England, has obtained results which
are remarkably consistent with each other,
and which indicates that the moon exerts an
appreciate influence upon terrestrial tenn
perature. the maximum occurring SIX or seven
days after new moon, and the minimum
about four days after full. The difference
between the maximum near the last quarter
is two and a half degrees of Fahrenheit.
These results, which are SO different from
what might be anticipated, Mr.. Harrison ex-
plains by supposing that the moon really at
tains its gratest heat the last quarter, but
that the heat which the moon radiates to the
earth is entirely dark heat, and therefore
absorbed by our atmosphere. The heat raises
the temperature of the air above the clouds,
causing increased evaporation from their
surface, by which they are dispersed, and
thus there is an increased radiation of terres-
trial heat to the sky, and consequently a
diminution in the temperature of the air
near the grounds. He supposes that opposite
results must occur at the period of minimum
heat in the moon.
In order to compare the influence of the moon
with that of the sun, he has taken the aver
age cloudiness of Greenwich, as indicated by
observations made every two hours for a
period of several years, and the table shows
the gratest clOudiness due to the moon g
influence occurs about the time of the great
est heat that is near the third quarter, and
the minimum follows about week after the
maximum, or about one-fourth the time of
the moons rotation. This disturbance of
the vapor is precipitated, and vast amount
of latent heat is liberated. The motion of
these storms over the earth's surface is infiu-
enced by local causes. such as latitude,
proximity to mountains or the ocean.
The result The Professor found in the
statement that the moon does influence the
atmospheric phenomena in an appreciable
manner ; but, in ordinary parlance, the infu-
ence being so small, it may be said that there
is no influence of the moon upon the weather

The Care and Management of Hogs.

the feeding of hogs is a matter of much
greater importance than farmers usually at
tach to it. There is an old adage I" That
whatever is worth doing at all, is worth
doing well. This is as applicable to the
feeding of swine as to any other subject.
Offal milk from the dairy is very palatable
and nutritious for pigs under three months
old 1t is equally good for older ones, but
they can do better without it, as their diges-
tive organs are strong enough to operate on
stronger food. Next to milk, is sound corn
we mean sound corn-we mean sound from
any faint of mouldiness or decay. We dis
tiguish between sound and whole corn. 1t
is not good policy to feed corn whole, unless
it is steamed or otherwise cooked, Fruits,
nuts or vegetables are valuable adjuncts to
intersperse with other food and they are all
the better for being cooked.
The time and manner of feeding must de-
pend in great measure on the Judgment and
discretion of those who have the oversight
and direction in each individual case. We
can give general directions only, as land
marks to the inexperienced. The animal
should never be allowed to get very hungry
should not have a very large feed at one
time. g Little and often is the golden rule.
Three times day will do after the pig is

correspondent says the best time to cut
timber is when in full leaf-July and Au-
gust and the knowledge would have been
worth thousands Of dollars to him, had he
possessed it years ago.
One of the best farmers in Kansas is the
Governor. His wheat crop amounts to 10,
600 bushels.
FOR every three hundred and fifty bushels
of potatoes removed from our fields, the soil
sustains loss of ninety pounds of potash.
Consequently, wood ashes Is one of the most
yaluables manures in the culture of the po-
tato.
Animals require quantity as well as quality
of food The philosophy of feeding our farm
stock has been but little attended to by farm
yet it is field ofinquiry which will pay
as richly for investigation as any the farmer
can explore.
Sheep should be well and evenly fed no
sudden changes Of food, from good to bad
nor be exposed to storms or sudden changes
of temperature, or else the fibre of the fleece
will be uneven and unhealthy.
The Farmers Club of the American Insti-
tute have resolved that the selling of common
rhubarb, or pie plant, in its different varieties
as a wine-plant, is attempt to deceive and
defraud the public.
Toads are capital helpers in taking care
of vine patches. Lay boards between the
rows to shelter them in the day time, and
they will make carnival Of the bugs at
| night
| DR.. Randall thinks there are no objections
and some advantages in the plan of washing
sheep, in regions where there is plenty of
pure water which gets at proper tempera-
ture early enough. For the general wool or
mutton grower he does not think early shear
ing desirable.
A correspondent of the Neo England
Homestead has for the last twenty-five years
planted potatoes not larger, an average,
than an ordinary hens egg, and they yet pro-
duce as large and as sound a produce as at
first.
An orchard in Massachusetts which has
been used as hog pasture for twenty years
has never failed to produce fine crop of
fruit. A worm eaten apple is rarity il
that orchard.
President Clark of the Amherst Agricul
tural College says that plant lice produce
ten generations in a season all females are
capable of reproducing without impregna-
ton. Only one generation in ten contains
males.
The New York Tribune recently mentioned
the receipt of one hundred thousand bushels
of corn in New York, from St Louis, viz
New Orleans, in eighteen days, at a cost of
only three cents per bushel for transporta
ton.
Cut Canada thistle when near full grown

three months old but before that age, four
or five times day is little enough.
The quantity should be only what it will
eat up at once il any is left in the trough,
it should be taken out, and give little less
next time better give rather too little than
too much-this will keep up good and
thrifty appetite. With advanced age and
size, the meal mus be in proportion but
never cloy the appetite
Feed Just strong enough to keep the ANNA
in good growing condition, but not too fat,
until you prepare him for the butcher.
Good pasture with otaer food, is very desir-
able especially clover.
Cleanliness is point that must not be
overlooked. This remark will apply to all
animals from man down and to all times
and places. What keep the pig clean ?
What will become of the saying, .. as dirty
as hog - A little fresh dirt on the hog
occasionally and for short time, may do no
harm-it is easily removed but a dirty
scurfy skin, where the dirt has become ad-
hesive Jas though it were part of the animal
is not to be endured The hog cannot thrive
in such a condition. The question is, how
to remove it? This is no very difficult mat
ter.
Prepare some strong soap suds-a little
warm will be better and pleasanter to use
curry-comb and a hand scrub. The opera
ton will require man and an assistant.
Have the soap suds in trough. A pig one
or two months old can be handled without
tying. For large ones get stout cord with
moose at one end, pass this moose over the
upper jaw behind the tusks, fasten the other
end to post of two or three feet. The hog
will naturally pull back and MAINTAIN his
position without much further attention.
Now go to work with large sponge cloth
N the an6 dirt that a6b
to the skin and use the curry-comb and hand
scrub vigorously, until you have his skin as
clear as it ever was. Do not forget to ex-
anime the inside of his fore legs, see that
thosa little outlet holes are open and clean.
You may now Hberate him, and he will soon
look out for place where he can lie down
and enjoy the most comfortable sleep he has
had for long time.
Pigs should not be put to breeding, until
they are eight or nine months old. When
they are well developed by growth and health,
month earlier may be permitted but a
month or two later will be better IN the
long run.-Ana. Stock Journal.

TOMATO CArsUP.-The following recipe is
perfectly reliable 1t has been used in my
own and many other families for series Of
years, and we know ofnone better, nor any we
think its equal. If any of the many house
keepers who read this Journal are querying
as to how they shall proftably use their
tomatoes upon which =. Jack Frost " came so
near stealing march last week, let them
without fail give practical heed to this recipe.
Even if they can their tomatoes, it is
very desirable to have few bottles of catsup
for roast beef or a Joint Of mutton. 1t gives
a relish to meats when they might seem in
sipid and tasteless.
Recipe One peck of tomatoes, enc tea
cup of salt, one tablespoonful cloves, one
tablespoonful allspice, one table spoonful
red pepper, four large onions chopped fine.
Chop the tomatoes fine. IL is not necessary
to peel them. To cook it thoroughly, boil
away one half, strringgit frequently with a
spoon. When nearly done add a quart OF
strong cider vinegar. Rub through colan-
der. and when cold, bottle and seal it tightly,
and it will keep fresh and sweet for years.
Place the bottles upon their sides on the
cellar bottom.
