A CITY exquisit having become ag-
riculturally ambitious, went in search
of farm, and finding one for sale,
began to bargain for it. The seller
mentioned as one of its recommends
tions, that it haG very cold spring on
it. Ah-aw u said the fop, az wont
take it then, for 1 have heard that a
cold spring ruined the crops last year,
and don't want a place with such
drawback upon it." '

IT DIDN'T HURT HIM.-An Irishman
suffering severely from q toothache
called upon distinguished ply sician
and witty dentist of his native land to
have the tooth extracted:
:" Oh, Docther, darlin', I'm suffering
terribly can you aise the pain p
Sit down here,D said the Doctor,
"and III fix you all right in q jiffy.D
Docther, dear, will it hurt me
much ?1
"If it don't 2 said the doctor, jocose-
ly, won't charge you cent.
The poor fellow opened his mouth,
and, in q twinkling, the doctor had
hold of the offending member, and
gave such twitch in drawing il. that
his patient gave a jump and a scream,
as If he thought his head was off.
"Did it hurt you much?" asked the
Doctor, as the poor sufferer was hob
bling round, groaning loudly and
holding on to his head and jaws with
all his might.
]. Not a bit, Docfher, not BIZ"
WHAT" exclaimed the astonished
Doctor. r,sa 30 aIa
"Oh, not a bit, Docther, not a bit"
The Doctor concluded that he was
euchered out of his fee that time, sure.

EXPERIMENTS ON THE TERMINATION
OF sEEDs.-Mr. Vogel, of the Bavarian
Academy of Sciences, has made Sc
ries of interesting experiments on the
termination of seeds exposed to the
action of different chemicals, either
in solld or liquid condition. He
found that many chemical com bina-
tions though absolutely insoluble in
distilled water, injured or destroyed
the germs Of seeds, and Inferred that
the process of termination itself pro-
duces vegetable acids which then act
as solvents. He was actually able to
determine by. spronting barley, clover
and watar-cress, the amount of said
acids, which, though differing with
different seeds, was always quite con-
siderable. He experimental with
Prussian blue, carbonate of magnesia,
oxide and carbnate of copper, ,chromate
of mercury, sulphury and antimonial
preparations, and, more recently, with
aniline and amorphus phosphorus,
and found that all these insoluble
substances prevented termination,
either entirely or TO a great extent,
while the presence of sublimed indigo
had not the least effect. OF solutions,
he mentions chromate of potash (ni-
trate, of silver and arsenious acid, as
especially Injurious, and states that
other mineral acids, when very much
diluted, are less obnoxious. Remark
able for the anomaly is the destructive
influence of acetic acid, so harmless to
the animal organism, which, even in
very small quantity, prevented germi-
nation as completely as the poisonous
oxalic acid; prussic acid, on the con-
trary, only retarded the development
of the germ. Being volatile, it disap-
pears from the solution, and great
proportion of the seeds germinated,
while arsenic acid destroys the germs
entirely. Mr.. Vogellalso exposed his
seeds to an atmosphere of coal gas,
and found that the destructive action
of the impure gas is due to the adj
mixture efltar, he examined some of
its constituents, and found naphthalin
to be quite harmless TO vegetation,
while minimum of carbolic acid was
sufficient to kill every trace of germi-
uation. bes7asg Eoe.ss ar.fE eug

FEEDING POTATOES TO HoRsEs.-In
Germany, where potatoes are SO much
cheaper than grain, the experiment
has been repeatedly tried OF feeding
horses upon them, at least in part, and
this, as we understand, has proved
quite successful. In one instance five
four-horse teams were kept hard at
work and in good condition on daily
ration, for the twenty horses, of l. 1s
cwt. of hay, s bushels of potatoes, so
pounds of meal, and a liberal allow
ance of chopped straw. The potatoes
were steamed, mashed and mixed
with the meal while hot, and then
covered up and allowed to remain for
a time, during which they undergo a
slight fermentation and evolve guam
tity of carbonic acid. The chopped
straw was worked in just before feed
ing. This trial was continued for
more than four months, and found to
agree with the horses, while at the
same time it proved satisfactory in
point of economy. As this food must
be sweet and clean, great care is nec-
essary to prevent the vessels in which
it is kept from becoming sour.

TWO WORKERS.

Two workers in one field
Toiled on from day TO day,
Both had the same hard labor.
Both had the same small pay;
With the same blue sky above.
The same green a below
One soul was full of love,
The other full of woe.
One lcaped up with the light,
With the soaring of the lark.
One eve felt il night,
For his soul vas ever dark.
One heart was hard as stone.
one heart was ever gay,
One worked with many Il grOan,
One whistled all the day.
One had a fiower-crowned cot
Beside IA merry mill,
Wife and children neal the spot
Made it Sweeter, fairer still.
One IA wretched hoVel had,
Full Of discord, dirt and din,
No wonder he seemed mad
Wife and children starved within.
Still they worked in the same field,
Toiled on from day to day.
Both had the same hard labor,
Both had the same small pay.
But they worked not with one will,
The reason let me tell
l.o! the one drank at the still,
And the other ut the well.
