allows them to see each other, makes them

he had field Of ten acres, on which he had
had to seed timothy and clover every other
year, but il is now in orchard grass for the
sirth year, and had yielded more this year
than ever. The other caution is that it is a
delicate plant to start. For a permanent
meadow he had sown one bushel Of clover
seed, one of timothy and fvo Of orchard
grass Sow the last of August or first Of
September, and cover lightly. The clover
and timothy will disappear after few cut
tings, and leave the orchard grass alone.
About not changing pastures frequently, he
agreed with Mr.. Lewis-ho would regulate
the number of cattle TO the size Of the field
and keep them there He believed also in
top-dressing; frequent surface manuring
will even keep clover growing year afer
year. Ten years ago a piece Of his
farm was heavily dressed with sheep manure
and it was growing excellent clover now
Mr.. Reeder advocated seeding both kinds
Of clover at the same time, as more pasture

DECOMPOSING ACTION OF HU.
MUS UPON MINERALS.

Everyone who has studied the growth of
plants must have come to the conclusion that
it is necessary to look beyond the gases of the
air and the carbonic acid water of the ground
to account for the power Of vegetables to de-
compose many mineral substances. 1t is ev-
dent that some other acids come into play
and exert decisive influence. Herr Senft,
Of Eisenach, Germany, has submitted the
question to a long series Of investigations,
and the conclusions to which he arrives are
well worthy Of the attention of scientific men.
The searches of Mr.. Senft 60 far to confirm
the shrewd therory advanced by Professor
Henry Wurtz, of New York, that the organ
ic acids have played much more important
part in the formation Of rocks and minerals
than geoogists have been in the habit of
conceding 1t is evident that plants, while
living, are able by the products of their
growth to act upon insoluble minerals and
appropriate certain constituents to their
wants, and that, when the plant is dead, it
can, during the process of decay, produce ac-
ids that either dissolve minerals or render
them soluble. The conclusions to which Mr..
Senit arrives are as follows
l. When the plant decays with exclusion
of air, it is capable of reducing metallic OK
ides to metals, or to oxides, with which the
organic acid, called geic acid, can combine.
2, When the decomposition takes place
with access Of air, humic acid is produced,
which can unite with the bases to form Sc
ries of salts, which are partly soluble and
partly insolublo.
3. The soluble humic acid salts, especially
of the alkahes, have powerful action upon
the mineral salts, and convert them into hui
mates, which in turn are decomposed into
carbonates.
1. The oarbonates, phosphotes, arsenates,
sulphates, the chlorides and the zeolite silic-
ates are decomposed by tho humc acid salts.
5. The humus acids are themselves con.
stantly changing, so that their action upon
minerals is variable This instability of the
organic acids has rendered the investigation
OF their action upon mineral substances very
difficult, and appears to have deferred chem,
lists from pursuing the subject, The products
Of the decay of woody fiber, called geic acid
humc acid, ulmic acid, crenic and apocreniC
acids, are really very little understood
When We pursue the subject in the path in
dicated by Professor Wurtz, we may some
day discover that the quartz, diamond anC
ruby were held in solution by organic aoids
and that metalliferous deposits were reduced
by the same acids without the intervention
of fire or of galvanic currents.
The whole question offers fine field o
research to the chemical gst-JOuraa
Of Applied Chemistry.
[ 1t will be seen that the above able sclen
ti6c authority fully sustains the view takeI
by US in regard to the action of organic acid
upon the soil, as well as Of the direct solven
power Of plant roots upon Minerals

RECIPES.
Washing Fluid.

DIR. Queensvile, in the Moniteur ScieR-
tifque, describes mode Of washing which
has been widely adopted in Germany and
Belgium. The operation consists in dssolv-
ing two pounds Of soap in about three gal.
Ions Of water as hot as the hand can bear,
and adding to this one tablespoonful Of tur-
pentine and three of liquid mmonia the
mixture must then be we'll stirred, and the
linen stepped in it for two or three hours,
taking care to cover up the vessel containing
them as nearly hermetlcally as possible.
The clothes are afterwards washed out and
rinsed in the usual way The soap and wa.
ter may be reheated and used second time,
but in that case half tablespoonful of tur-
pentine and tablespoonful Of ammonia must
be added. The process is said to cause a
great economy of time, labor, and fuel. The
linen scarcely suffers at all, as there is little
necessity for rubbing aud its cleanliness and
color are perfect, The ammonia and turpen-
tine, although their detersive action is great,
have no injurious effect upon the linen; and
while the former evaporates Immediately,
the smell Of the latter is said to disappear en-
tirely during the drying of the clothes.
FrOsting.
Take the white of one egg without beating
and mix stiff with puIvsrized sugar spread
on the cake. by tho time you get it on, il
will be hard and glossy.

PINS.

Pins were introduced into England in
l347. 1t has been said that they were in
the reign of Francis l, and introduced into
England by Catherine Howard, the fifth wife
of Henry VIII, but it is quite an error.
Previous to 1347 wooden skewers did pins
duty with the poor, and lockwood, bone, and
silver were fashioned for the rich. An act
was passed by Parliament in the reign of
Henry VIII Q534), entitled can act for
the true making of Pynnes," fixing maxi.
mum price at six and eight pence a thousand.
Long after the invention the maker was
allowed to sell them in open shops only on
the lst and I'd of January. 1t was then
that the court ladies and city danes hockod
to the depots to buy them, having been first
provided with money by their husbands
and gallants used to make their "ladyes
faire" New Years gifts Of "pins."
shakespeare says; 81 do not set my life
at pins fee." Hence the current proverb,
mot worth pin" In political contest in
which sir Robert Peel was engaged some
years ago, he came into collision with DR..
Cullen, who denounced him, as many thought.
without having any proper call for his inter-
ference. Sir Robert varied the proverbial
phrase by retorting that he did not care for
the prelate "two rows of pins" and the
phrase has lived

a brief day. Like men, their heads get
turned, or they lose point, or get out ofthc

they vanish. Ereante omnes.
The consumption of pins in the United
States is calculated at twenty millions day
the consumption in England at fifteen mill
ions. Among the most modern important
improvements introduced in the fabrication
of pins are the machines by which the head
is formed from the pin itself aud the ma
chine for sticking the pins in paper-two

INTEMPERANCE.

Intemperance is a vice which all should
shun. 1t is a vice which will rapidly gain
ground in this land of light and liberty, if
the laws of the land are not strictly enforc-
cd. 1t is daily dragging its victims to
drunkard's grave
Who are its victims2 Are they the sons
Of drunkards and men of crime Not al
ways. Some of them are the sons of honest,
upright and temperate men, who have been
led by bad associates to take the first glass,
and thus began their downward course which
resulted in crime and disgrace.
What a curse to the land is the sale Of
spirituous liquors. They are the cause of un.
told suffering. How many once happy
home is made desolate, how many heart
wrung with bitter anguish how many fathers
and mothers are weeping over their sons who
are daily drinking glass after glass at the
grogshops, and while under its influence are
often led to do things which will disgrace
themselves and their friends.
Which commits the greatest crime, the
assassin who creeps into mans home at
midnight and murders human being, or the
rumseller who deals out glass after glass to
a man who while under the influence Of rum,
will 60 to his home and beat his family most
cruelty, and perhaps murder them, and then
when he returns to his senses and finds what
he has done, plunges dagger through his
heart and breathes his last. He has escaped
the penalties of the law, but he fills mur-
| derer's and a drunkards grave.
The first glass is taken, taste is formed,
and then if a man does not try to overcome
that appetite, he takes another glass and an-
other, until at last he cares not whether he
leads life Of happiness or misery. If he
feels the pangs of remorse stealing over him,
he drinks until his senses are benumbed and
conscience is stilled. Once started on his
\ downward course it is hard to return. Then
young men beware Of the first glass for at
last it biteth like serpent and stingeth like
an adder.
Young ladies do not encourage your broth
ers and friends to drink, by speaking lightly
of it. But do all in your power to drive this
grim monster from our land.

botany For Farmers Sons.
l wish to advise every young farmer to
study botany, if he can. Let him get Gray's
"School and Field Book of Botany" and
improve some of his spare hours in learning
something of the structure Of plants and
the laws of vegetable life and growth, and
in making the acquaintance of the plants he
daily meets, so that he may distinguish
the useful from the worthless, the indigo.
nous from the new conner, and the innocent
ones from the poisonous. Every plant he
meets will then have a secret to tell him, and
as farmer he will not grope in the dark
amid the mysteries of the vegetable world.
He will make few blunders He will not
plant his seeds so deep that they will lie
dormant for many days, shut out from the
influence Of the atmosphere and the heat
Of the sun. He will not defoliate his plants
in order to hasten the maturity of their
fruits by exposing them to the rays of the
sun. He will not attempt to graft scions Of
his fruit trees into the maple, nor to hybrid
ize the apple and the pear. He will not be.
lieve that wheat can turn to chess. With
some knowledge of botany and the other sci
cnces which aid agriculture, he will shape
his methods intelligently, and earn a high
degree of success.
