Why MAINsrRIvGs BREAK-H Henry
Hollenshed Jr, writes the Scientific
american
When the handspring Is taken out in
cleaning a watch, and is handled by the
matchmaker, it expands in consequence
of the warmth of his hands Upon put
ting it in the watch, and putting the watch
together, the matchmaker usually If the
watch runs free winds it up to is full
power; the spring is then, of course, in
It's expanded condition, would close around
the arbor upon cooling. it naturally con-
tracts, and, of course, being already tight,
something must give, and the spring breaks
My experience has taught me that it is
unwise to wind watch all the way up
Immediately after cleaning or putting in a
spring. If a matchmaker will take the
trouble to inquire, when a watch comes in
with broken spring, how long it ran after
winding, he will find that it is almost in
variably from two to four hours, showing
that winding has something TO do with the
result. Any one who wishes to test the
truth of the above can do so by heating a
piece Of handspring, and fastening it at
full length rigidly at both ends, and then
letting 1t cool. 1t will almost certainly
break if the experiment is we'll perform

An ENGLISH AGRICULTURAL CoLLECE.-Tbe
London Field has letter describing the pres
ent condition of the Royal Agricultural
College at Criencester, from which the Coun-
try Gentleman condenses the following par
ticulars:
Founded in l845, the original charge for
instruction, board, etc., was only $50 year.
at which rate the institution could not be
sustained and lost heavily. The charge is
now ESQ per year and the farm which had
previously been a source of expense, since
1865 has been let to a tenant, reserving such
privileges to the professors and stu dents as
were desirable to promote the objects of in
struction. The present tenant, Mr.. Russell
Swanwick, whose name is favorably known
TO American readers, is himself former
student, and under his management the re-
suits are satisfactory and profitable. " Not
only are the students taken on the farm by
the agricultural professor, Mr.. Wrightson,
but they are required to do practical work on
che farm, and thus begin at tho root of the
matter and qualify themselves for mastership
by learning how work ought to be done.
This is a recent alteration, as formerly prac-
tical work was voluntary The farm is about
five hundred acres in extent, not remarkable,
we believe, for richness of soil, but capable of
giving good return with careful treatment.
At the first letting of the farm, plot of
twenty acres was retained for experimental
purpose, but this being found altogethe too
limited an area to obtain satisfactory results,
an arrangement has lately been effected by
which the whole farm is open for the pur pose,
and any crop or field may be selected for the
use of the agricultural professor.
The course of instruction lasts two years,

To BUILD CHINNEY.-The Scientific
American gives the following hints to those
who would build chimney which will
not smoke - The chief point is to make
the throat not less than four inches broad
and twelve inches long; then the chimney
should be abruptly enlarged to double the
size, and so continued for one foot or more
then it may be gradually tapered off as de-
sired. But the inside of the chimney
throughout its whole length to the top.
should be plastered very smooth with good
mortar, which will harden with age. The
area of chimney should be at least half
square foot. and no fues less than sixty
square inches. The best shape for chimney
is circular, or many-sided, as giving less
friction, (brick is the best material, as it is
a non-coDstructor, and the higher above the
roof the better.

Agricultural botany and geology IN their
relations to agriculture veterinary science
surveying and Ievelling, drawing, and for
those who desire, shoeing, carpentering and
butchering. Special inducements are given
to attend 10 the work ON the farm, not only
in the offer Of prizes for accounts and jour
nails, but in a severe examination for the
diploma, conducted on the farm itself by
some agricultural authority called in for the
purpose. No student has a chance OF OBJ
tanning the diploma, which is the college
certificate of efficiency, unless he exhibits a
satisfactory knowledge Of practical matters
and of the work that has taken place on the
farm. As to the stock on the farm, the
Field remarks:
h" MIR. Swanwick has recently paid great
attention TO his sheep (Cotswold,) and by
liberal and iudcious outlay in the purchase
of rams, is rapidly improving the flock We
are much pleased with his shearing rams
and theaves, and shall expect to hear OF
their success at the summer shows. At
present Mr.. Swanwick's name is best known
n connection with the Berkshire breed OF
pigs, of which he has the finest collection in
the kingdom. We mad quite treat in going
all around his show pigs, and seeing the diff
ferent lots preparing for exhibition. His
judgment and enterprise have met with de-
served success. We may mention that a
boar shown at Wolverhampton in 1871, was
sold TO go TO Canada for 600, and there took
the first prize amidst a great many competi
tors. Frequently pigs have been sold at
from go to $50, and young pigs are IN good
demand at highly satisfactory prices.

SHARPEN THE Hoe As dull as a hoe y
is old favorite comparison, and it seems
cruel to rob it of it's aforetme poetry. But
free use of file or grindstOne is as rough
on the comparison as the keen hoe is on the
weeds. We have seen hoes that were worn
out, never having been sharpened, because
sharp hoe soon wears out although the ex-
ira labor in day needed to destroy the
weeds OF move the soil with dull instru
ment would equal the cost of new one.
Certainly it is poor economy to save the
wear Of the hoe, of necessity only half kill
ing the weeds, and making heavy tolls Of
otherwise light work. \ file, even an old
one, cleaned with some diluted acid, will
answer every purpose, or a grin1stone if one
has no file. Never mind if stones or gravel
do dull, sharp hoe carefully used will &C
complish more than the noisy grubbIng Of
dull one. We take pleasure in seeing the
hoe daily narrow up and the corners gradu-
ally round off, for honorable age and constant
service benefits the hoe, making the blade
thinner and smaller. Sharpen the hoe then
first, to save hard labor second, to do
neater work third, to keep it bright;
finally, to have the pleasure Of seeing it grow
old in the service.

ROUND TURNIPs.-It is about time to be
thinking of sowing the round turnip seed.
1t will do any time from now till the 10th of
August or thereabouts, but it is rather better
to get the seed in e-rly if the land is free
and ready for it. 1t is uaually sown after
early peas, early potatoes, or some other
early crop that has come off the land, and
this is no doubt good economy. But in
cases where the farmer has neglected to SOW
a wide breadth of mangolds or Sweeds, it is
desirable to make room for round turnips by
breaking up some lot ard using it first for
this purpose. Some SOW this seed along
with grass seed in lying down land.-PlOugh-

An Ice LENs.-It is interesting to OBJ
serve that radiant heat from the sun may
be collected into focus by means of an
ice lens, and yet produce all the effects of
an ordinary burning glass. Such lens,
for experiment, may easily be made by
placing fat piece of ice upon a warm
surface of metal or porcelain dish,
such as an evapOrating dish used by chem
lists; as soon as one side has assumed the
proper form, the ice must be turned to
make both sides alike. Any sunny, crisp,
frosty morning will be suitable for this ex-
pertinent from which we learn that in
Northern regions it would be quite possible
to raise fire without matches-a fact not
unworthy of being known.

"Old Times


There's beautiful song on the slumberous air,
That drifts through the valley of dreams
Il comes from a cline where the roses were,
And tuneful heart, and light brown hair
That waved in the moistening breeze.
Soft eyes of azure and eyes of brown,
And snow-white forehesds are there;
glmmering Cross andIa glittering Crown.

Lost hopes and leaflets of prayer.

Sweet waits from the quivering pines
Blue violet eyes beneath green hoods,

Bird-warbles and clambering vines.
rosy wreath and a dimpled hand,

zThree golden links of a broken band,
A tiny track on the snow-white sand,
A tear, and a sinless brow.
There's tincture of grief in the beau uful song
That sobs on the slumberous air,
And loneliness felt in the festive throng
sinks down on the soul as it trembles along
From a cline where the ses were.
We heard it first at the dawn of day,
And it mingled with the matln chimes
But year. have distanced the beautiful lay,
And its melody howeth from far away,

CARE OF HORSES AT NIGHr Few men who
handle horses give proper care to their feet
and legs. Especially is this the case on
farms Much time is spent of morning
in rubbing down, brushing and smoothing
the hair on the sides and hips, but at no
time are the feet examined and properly
cared for. Now, be it known, that the feet
of horse require more care than the body
They need ten times as much, for in one re-
spect they are almost the entire horse
All the grooming that can be done won't
avail anything if the horse is forced to stand
where his feet are filthy. In this case the
feet will become disordered, and then the
legs will get badly out of fix ; and with bad
feet and bad legs, there is not much else
of the horse fit for anything. The feet of
each one of your horses ought to be examined
every night.

PorAro MATCu,-At an agricultural fair
recently held at Oxford, Del, one of the
most amusing parts of the programme was
the potato match. Four bushels of potatoes
were placed along the trotting course, in
four lines of bushel each, and about foot
apart on the ground. The four contestants
each had wheelbarrow, and at the word
" go - commenced picking up the potatoes
and depositing them in the wheelbarrows,
and the first who gets them loaded up and
and returned to the starting point was TO be
declared the champion pOtato-picker, and
rewarded accordingly.
