How ss.Marbles {, are Made.

The chief place of the manufacture of
marbles" those little round pieces of
stone which contribute 80 largely to the
enjoyment of young America" is at
Oberstein, on the Fahe, in Germany,
where there are large agate-mills and
quarries, the refuse Of which is carefully
turned to good paying account by being
made into small balls employed by ex-
ports to knuckle with, which are mostly
sent to the American market. The sub
stance used in Saxony is hard, calcare-
GUS stone, which is first broken into
blocks, nearly square, by blows with O
hammer. These are thrown by the one
hundred or two hundred into q small
sort of mill, which is formed of fat,
stationary slab of stone, with number
of concentric burrows upon its face. A
block of oak, or other hard wood, of the
same diametric size, is placed over the
small stones and partly resting upon
them. This block or log is kept revolv-
ing while water flows upon the stone
slab. In about fifteen minutes the stones
are turned to spheres, and then, being
fit for sale, are henceforth called "mar-
bles." One establishment, containing
only three of these rude mills, will turn
out full sixty thousand marbles" in
each week. Agates ore made into "mar-
bles ut Oberstein by first chipping the
pieces nearly round with hammer,
handled by O skillful workman, and then
wearing down the edges upon the sur
face OF large grindstone.-jN0nutac-

The Matchmaking Finger.

This is the fourth finger on the left
hand. Why this particular digit should
have received such token of honor and
trust beyond all its congeners, both in
pagan and Christian times, has been
variously interpreted. The most COM
mon, explanation is, according to. Sir
Thomas Browne, "presuming therein
that Il particular vessel, nerve, vein or
artery, is conferred thereto from the
heart" which direct vascular communi-
cation Browne shows to be anatomically
incorrect. Macrobius gives another rca-
son, which may perhaps satisfy those
anatomists who are not satisfied with
the above. "Poliex," he says, cor thumb,
(whose Office and general usefulness are
sufficiently indicated from its Latin de-
rivative polio, and from its Greek equi-
valent antichier, which means, as good
as hand, is too busy to be set apart for
any special employment; the next fin
ger to the thumb, being but half-pro-
tected on that side, besides having other
work to do, is also ineligible; the op-
probrium attaching to the middle finger,
called medicus, puts. it entirely out of
the question; and as the little finger
stands exposed, and is moreover too puny
to enter the Lists in such q contest, the
Espousal honors devolve naturally on
pronubus, the wedding finger" u
In the British Apollo, 1888, it is urged
that the fourth finger was chosen from its
being not only less used than either of
the rest, but more capable of preserving q
ring from bruises; having this one
quality peculiar to itself, that it can not
be extended but IN company with some
other finger, whereas the rest NAV be

Great Sulphur Mines.


facture of its compounds in California
is rising in importance. The chief sup
ply Of the world is obtained from the
sides of Mount Etna, in Sicily, and this
State used the Sicilian birthstone until
lately. Now the sulphur works on the
shore of Clear Lake produce four tons q
day, as much as the coast can consume.
The freight from the Mediterranean, the
increased charge on account of the COM
bustible nature of the material, and the
necessity of keeping large stocks on
hand, 80 as to prevent any disturbance
Of trade in case q cargo should be de-
layed or lost, give decided advantages to
the home manufacture.
The Sicilian birthstone can not be laid
down here for less than four cents per
pound, and the domestic article is sold
for three and q half cents. Clear Lake
occupies the crater of an extinct volcano,
and the evidences of volcanic action are
abundant in the vicinity. The triangle
formed by the lake, the Geysers and st.
Helena each about 25 miles from the
other two-abounds with volcanic scoria,
trap, lava, olisidian, tufa, warm springs,
and other remains of eruptions, and
signs of subterraneanh heat at no great
distance from the surface. st
The sulphur bed Of Clear Lake is about
eight miles from the southern end, on
the eastern shore, only q few hundred
yards from the water. There is q bank
resembling ashes, in which there are
numerous alkaline and sulphur springs,
and also vent. .holes from which sulphur
Sous fumes escape. These holes are sur
rounded by beautiful crystals of pure
sulphur deposited from the fumes rising
from below The earth, containing
about fifty per cent. Of sulphur, Is placed
in an iron retort, which is heated to q
high temperature, 80 that the sulphur ia
driven ooF in fumes into q; receiver,
whereiit settles in q liquid form, and
runs out into pine boxes two feet long
and q foot square. It is as pure as the
5Sicilian birthstone, but the latter comes
in sticks, which are moro convenient for
handling when small pieces are wanted.
The lump sulphur is used chiefly for
making powder and su1ph phuric acid, which
last is employed in making $bluestone,
giaslt powder, nitric acid, and muriatie
Sacid, and in refining gold and silver. The

Barley is much used In EufupS but
poultry-ynM. Fowls do not fatten on
Oats arc good as a change, but arc in
ferior rs nutrinient.
Buokwheat 70 much liked by poultry,
Is greedily devoured, and is moro pro-
ductive Of eggs, early and in abundance,
than any other gruin.
Hemp seed is also productive of eggs
and Is also very strengthening. The
cereal is one of the best things that can
be fed during moulting.
In preparing birds for exhibition, fax
seed may be given occasionally; it in
creases the secretion of oil, and gives
lustre to the plumage. In giving soft
feed it should be mixed stiff, /. e., not
mushy; fowls do not relish it in this
state. A good food of this kind is COM
posed Of equal quantities of fine bran
and Indian meal. This should be mixed
with hot or scalding water, of such con-
sistency that it breaks or crumbles when
thrown on the ground. Another good
soft feed is made of small potatoes wash
ed clean, boiled and mashed with an
equal quantity of Indian meal.
In giving soft feed never use q feeding
dish or trough. If the yards are clean
as they should be, the ground is tho best
place to feed them from. The gravel
and sand swallowed with the food is ne.
cessary for digestion, besides poultry
prefer to pick their food from the ground
l. Don't neglect green food. We have
spoken of it before in former number
and only refer to it now to impress more
forcibly the necessity of it if you wish te
succeed with your poultry; little chop.
ped vegetables of some kind-whethe,
cabbage, lettuce, onions, or other greens
is better given every day than a great
deal once or twice q week.
If you wish perfect eggs, lime i'll some
form must be furnished. Broken bones
lime rubbish, pounded shells (oyster o,
clam) are all good.
Beef or pork scraps are productive O
good results. In the winter, when thu
fowls do not get worms or grubs, a cake
laid in the yard for them to pick ut, or q
little chopped off and fed to them, add.
to their health and to the contents of tn,
egg basket. So also an OCCASIONAL disl

To REJUvENATE OLD GRAPEv1NEs.
The editor of the Practical Farmer says
Having on our premises, planted by for
mer owners, probably twenty years ago,
half dozen old grapevines, with large
weather-beaten trunks or stems, which
made annually but little new wood, and
yielded but very few poor grapes, two
seasons ago we cut off the branches, and
laid the main stems down in trenches,
covering with about a foot of earth.
Vigorous and healthy shoots sprang up
in great abundance, the weak ones OF
which were broken off, and leading ones,
ut proper distance, trained to the
arbor. The new growths are now clean,
healthy and strong entirely
to cover the large arbor the present sea-
son; we now look for. bushels of fruit
from the new-bearing wood. We sec old
grapevines everywhere doing no good
and which could be made young and
thrifty by this process.

Corn AND BEEF.-A correspondent
of the Prairie Farmer, who has watched
the growth of his; cattle, Gays: 81 fed
nineteen head of cattle last winter, and
the result for four months feeding was
an average gain Of $50 pounds. I fed
shock corn in boxesin an open field. In
the four months each animal consumed
about sixty bushels Of corn, giving me
three pounds of beef per bushel The
cattle were followed bv hogs, allowing
two hogs to the steer. I have estimated.
the growth Of tho two hogs at two
pounds per day. Four months feeding
at this rate, would give me 24O pounds
of pork and $50 pounds of beef from, the
sixty bushels 0f corn.nn s. s. 8

FArrENING Hoos.-I put two sows in
the pen, October 2, and commenced feed
ing them soft corn one of them had nine
pigs last May, and raised four of them !;
the other had eleven pigs last June, and
raised nine Of them. The two, with one
other SOW, were last winter fed the slop
of the house with q few mangolds )"
during the summer the two had the slop
of the house, and ran in the wood,
(about 80 or 80 acres) until October 2 !;
since that time until January 13, they
had all the Gull corn in the ear that they
would eat. and plenty of water to drink,
and occasionally few ashes and char
coal were thrown in the pen. When the
pigs were taken from them they were
quite thin, but had gained considerably
before they were put up. They were
killed january ID. and weighed on the
10th, respectively, 521 and GOT; pounds.
