Many of the forms of typhus fevers
in cities and villages have been traced
to impure water in wells. Through i'm
perfect drainage, and other means OF
introducing surface water therein-wa-
ter contaminated with the various de
caying substances always found, espe-
cially in cities, have always made them
hct-beds of miasma. But it is the
farmer that we wish especially to eau
ton here. Many-nay, nearly all our
population-have supposed that when
they have dug well, and banked 1t
sufficiently to prevent surface water
from running directly from the surface,
that they We're secure, and that they
must necessarily have pure water; but
such is not the case. The filter event
ually becomes foul and ceases to act;
and so, often, With the earth about a
we'll. 1t is SIMPLY natural filter, and
therefore the drainage from the barn
yard, OF other impure sources, passing
under the ground in the line OF the
well, must eventually contaminate it.
This may be obviated by understanding,
and this should always be one of the
first operations attended to, if the water
in the we'll proceeds from any such
probable source as has been here named.
As fact bearing on this subject, we
may state that out of thirty-siX samples
of water sent for examination to Dr.
Voelcker, he found many contaminated
with sewerage; ard he earnestly invited
attention to the serious injury which
may be produced to health by the use
of such impure water.

The Nc,o England Farmer has these
suggestions on pruning:
There is less correct knowledge among
cultivators, of the habits and nature of
growth OF trees, than in any other de
partment OF farming. With regard
to pruning there is one inIallble guide,
namely: Never prune tree when the
saw you are using will keep bright.
That proves that the pores of the wood
are full of thin sap. If they are then
cut tn sap will run ont. When shall
we une? When the sap is thick and
will gum up the saw so that it will need
washing once or twice in two or three
hours. The thin sap has then assembled
to swell! the buds, and expand the bios

its required labor there, what portion re
mains-put in thickened form-re-
turns down under the outside bark, and
increases the diameter. The sap YES.
sells are now comparatively empty, and
the tree can be pruned, if judlciously
done, without much injury.
Shortening trees is another matter
That may be done in most trees at any
time without much harm, rs none OF
the large vessels are cut, and the leaves
below the place cut would be likely tC
absorb the passing sap. The downward
motion Of the sap takes place about the
middle of June. Then the sap vessels
are comparatively empty. After the
leaves have fallen in the autumn they
are in similar condition.

GuanO PROSPECTS,.

The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle says the
reports of large deposits of guano on the
coast of Peru are said to have been ex-
aggerated. The stock in the Chincha
Islands is almost exhausted. The stock
of guano of good quality on the Gu
anape, Mat""l and Lobos Islands does
not exceed one million tons, and is of
very inferiorquality in the Lobos Islands.
Another million tons is the outside
quantity. In the South the only deposit
of any consideration is on Pabellon de
Plea, and this does not amount to half
million tons. The same quantity of
guano which remains on the Balestas
Islands is of an inferior quality. Should
no new deposits be discovered the pres
ent stocks will not last more than four
years.

Smut in Wheat.

amount of wheat in this country, but
never have it smutty. But we blue
stone it, as it is called here. Take box

pounds of wheat; then take pail, put
IN it about one pound of blue vitriol; fill
with hot water, and let stand until the
stone IS dissolved; then pour on to the

well dampened with the solution; then
take it out in sacks and let stand until
dry before sowing. The farmers here

Worth Preserving.

In case OF poison, make your patient
vomit by giving a tumbler of warm
water with a teaspoonful of mustard in
it, and then send for the doctor. If it
be necessary to act without the doctor,
and the poison is arsenic, give large
quantities of milk and raw eggs, or flour
and water. If the poison is an acid,
give magnesia and water. and plenty OF
warm water besides. If it is an alkali,
like potash, give vinegar and water,
lemon, Juice, or some other safe acid
Always remember the emetic first. If
it be laudanum, strong coffee is good
thing to give until the doctor comes.
Keep the patient awake.-BistOuy.

red on one of the numerous railroads

That they were on their way to get

what, without doubt, was the very best

were of good material, the amount of
cloth going to waste in his trousers, the
peeuliar set of his coat around the

When TO Cut Brush.

Brush shuld be cut when in the most
vigorously growing state and when in
fullest leaf. At that time the plant re-
ceives the greatest check from being
cut closely. Generally late in July or
early in August is favorable time
Perhaps it is better to cut it two or three
time, during the summer if the time
can be spared, as repeated checks have
more effect than one single one. 1t is
good and etfectual plan to keep all sorts
of weeds from breathing during the
entire season; few withstand such Il
course of treatment.

carefully, so as not to bruise them, and
put them in as fastas they are collected.
Stir them up from the bottom every

they work. This process soon makes
good pickles and sharp vinegar. The
