ANCIENT WOOD .-Ir
the report of Col. 7. j. Gram On creasot-
ing" timber, made in response to request
from the office of the chief of engineers,
u. S. A., he refers to the knowledge OF
antiseptics for preserving wood wh eli
must have been entertained by the an
cisnt Egyptians. Their old wooden cof-
fas, after two thousand years, have been
brought to light and according to credi-
BILE witnesses, they were constructed OF
sycamore wood, which, when split into
pieces, was perfectly sound and strong.
The wood seemed to have been impreg-
mated with bituminous substance Which
efectually preserved it. The collins were
" dug-outs - from solid blocks Of wood,
leaving hole in the top to insert the
corpse, and having a lid carved and in
genfously fitted to enclose the aperture.
1t is we'll known that sycamore wood un
treated is not very lasting wood, but
that it Is liable to speedy decay. The
process used by the Egyptians is yet one
of the lost arts, and whether it may be
recovered and resuscitated remains to be
seen.

FARMERS COLUMN.
SYSTEM IN THE DAIRY.

There is no department in agriculture
where more precision should be used
than in the management of the dairy.
Dairy products are the results of direct
chemical transformation or rather chemi-
cal action, from the time the cow takes
the food until the finished products OF
milk result. In none of the processes re
lating to the dairy, should more care be
used than in the care and manipulationa
of the cows themselves. The Scottish
Farmer in relation to the subject says:
The manager ola large dairy in Scot
land gives the following as general or
ders for all hands employed about his
stock:
1. Every cow must be in her stall at
the appointed time of milking.
.. Mixers are expected to be on hand
at 5.45 a. m and $40 p. NJ, Sundays ex-
cepted, when milking will commence at
Is q. IA and SIS p m.
3. Each mixer will have charge of q
definite number of stalls, and will be
held responsible for the thorough milk
ing of every cow occupying them.
4. Gentle words and kind treatment
are enjoined. Striking COWS with stools,
clubs, or heavy sticks, will under no cir
cumstances be allowed.
5. In driving the cows to and from
pasture, great pains must be taken not to
hurry them.

PLASTER FOR POTATOES Accordin g
to Mr. Compton, author Of the prize essay
on the cultivation of the potato, very re-
markable results are obtained frem plas-
ter by busting the vines with it as soon as
they are through the soil again immcdi-
ately after the last blowing and hoeing
and at intervals through the whole grow
ing season. The first application may be
light, the second heavier, and after that
more bountiful, say 900 pounds to the
acres. It renders the plant less palatable
to the insects, and appears to be fatal to
many of the fungi family. The vines re
tain bright, lively green color, and the
tubers continne swelling until growth is
stopped by the frost ; beside, potatoes
thus grown are so sound and free from
disease as to oe easily kept for the spring
market, without any loss by rot. Mr..
Compton says he has seen a field, all
planted with the same variety,at the same
time, on one half of which. that had re
ceived no plaster, the yield was but go
bushels per acre, ana many rotten while
the other half, to which plaster had been
applied, yielded 800 bushels per acre, aad
not an unsound one among them.

PROFITS OF DRAINAGE.-Col. Thomas
A. Mead, of Greenwich, Conn, who com
menced to drain in 1866, and has laid
down four thousand rods on his farm
describes his improvements to have in
cluded rolling and hilly lands, and says
The average cost of my drains has bsen
81 rod, and it may be trife less in
some instances The first crop has paid,
generally, the drainage ; in other instan-
ces, two, three or four years have been
required. I am fully satisfied that drain
ing has retu rhed to me fully twenty-five
per cent. per annum fer my outlay. =
If the moist wet lands of New England
were drained, the produce thereof would
be doubled, as drained lands are more
productive, and require less manure. I
have somewhere about thirty acres of
drained land, the produce of which, be-
fore being drained, was worth LITTLE or
nothing Since this land mas been drain
ed it has produced from two to three tons
of hay every year, for twenty to thirty
years, and that without the application
of any manure whatever, except the drop
pings of cattle in eating off the after
growth"

SLEEP.
From the

From the Good Health.
| What is sleep? You ask the doctors and the
psychologists, ana as usual they tell you the
symptoms and results ofsleep, and expound it's
diagnosis, but help you no further. In fact, all
they know about it is that it is. Blumeback at
tributed it to diminished flow of arterial blood
to the brain, but DR., Eiliotson, his commentator,
Justly remarks that this slower circulation is q
consequence, not cause of sleep. Pressure on
the brain produces involuntary sleep, but never
theless, there need not necessarily be pressure in
true and natural sleep. Here, again, we arrive at
one of Natures closed doors.
The writers on sleep have noted several of it's
phenomena. At the battle of the Nile, some of
the ships boys, wore out with fatigue fell asleep
at the foot Of the guns that were for a moment
ceasing their remorseIess fire. There have been
Blen so accustomed to the din of FORCES and the
noise of mills that they could not sleep in quiet
places. During the retreat from Corunna, the
soldiers were often seen marching fast asleep
Some great men, like Napoleon, having been able
to sleep at will. Sir Walter Scott always said he
required seven hours sleep to refresh his huge
brain.
But there is a single sentence of Ceryantes that,
III my estlaIlOh, DedJS all Jne me sayings OF the
poets. He puts it in the mouth of that jovial ma
terialist, sancho:
'Now blessings on him that first invented
sleep it covers man all over, thoughts and all
like cloak 1t is meat for the hungry, drink for
the thirsty, heat for the cold, and cold for the
hot"
How unhappy must Cervantes have been before
he could have been thankful for sleep. In lone
ly marches, to captivity among the Moors, in sor
row and disappointment, he had learnt how wsr-
thy sleep of this simple hearted senedi ctlon.
We're sculptor would, in poetical gra titude,
try to shape statue of sleep. would make him
a beautiful youth with the limbs of Adonis, and
the face Of Antinous. He should be found on a
couch in profound and delicious ease resting his
fair form on lions skin one arm should be
under his head, the other dropping languidly
over the side of the couch. In his relaxing n
gers would place bunch of popies. Peace in
effable should rest upon his brow, and gentle
smile upon his lips should tell of innocent
thoughts of peaceful love. My whole effort would
be to express profundity of tranquil repose.

TRANSFERRING PLANTs.-There is no
mode that we ever tried so effectual in
trarsplanting tomato, cabbage, cantaloupe,
or any other tender plant from the hot
bed, or from one place to another, as to
prepare vessel filed with manure wa.er,
and rich soil, about the consistency of
thin mush, with which the roots of the
plants should be we'll coated, and set in
hole made with round piece of wood
or dibble, After being rather firmly plant
ed, molsten again with manure water,
We have never failed in any transplant
ing when done in this way, and the trouble

NEW REAPER.-A Sheffield firm (says
Engineering is now engaged in making
a novel kind Of reaper, which, it is as
serted, will far outstrip all at present in
use. The inventor claims that the ma
chine will NOW grass six feet with one
horse, and that the horse will be able to
work all day. The best mach mes we
have at present only cut four feet six
inches with two horses. It will reap a
breadth OF ten feet of corn also with one
horse, and it will also thrash and winow
corn, grind flour, chop tnrnips, cut chaf,
crush cake, pump water, saw timber, and
can draw a load of five tons along the
streets 1t is surmised that if all this can
be carried out, the inventor has succeed
ed in making an exceedingly clever adap-
tation of the traction engine and all the
other machines, the merits of which he
claims for his own. Farmers will hail
this new machine as boon, indeed if il
be a success. Irish Farmers Gazette

CEMENT WATER PIPE.-Mr. VIM. B.
Reed, of Tasting, Mimi, lately wrote to
the New York Farmers Club with refer
ence to cheap method of conveying
water: "You all seem in trouble for a
cheap means of conveying water over
farms. The following | know to be a
good and cheap plan from experience
when on the farm Make the trench
level, or nearly so mix cement as for a
cistern; use round, smooth, straight
stick, about three feet long, of the size
you want the drain; put in trench cement
for bedding, on which place the stick
cover with cement; wait for it to set
carefully draw the stick forward, say two
and half feet, and proceed as before. I
have in this way formed main pipes
with branches leading into it."
