FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Water an Acre pF Jnnd.

In replying to an inquiry for some
crop to raise in an orchard, Mr. j. Har-
ris, IN his Walks and Talks on the
Farm, in tho American Agriculturist,
cites the results of experiments made
III june, 1870, by Messrs. Lawes and
Gilbert, Of England, to ascertain not
only the amount of water in an acre of
land, but the difference in the amount
Of water in land lying fallow, and in
that III which crop of barley was
growing, In making this experiment
each nine inches of earth to the depth
OF four and half feet were separately
tested. These analyses showed that an
acre OF dry soil three inches deep,
weighs 1000, 900 pounds, or 500 tons :;
fifty four inches deep weighs eighteen
times as much, or 5000 tons when
wet, about one-eighth more.
The following table shows the per
eentaage of water in the land at differ
,ent depths;

Cuitivaffng the White Ash.

The value OF the white ash for tim
Der, says Mr.. Fuller, is so well known
that it may seem almost superfuous to
mention it. There is scarcely farm
implement, from rake handle no to a
reaper OF mower, of which the tough
white ash does not form part. But
the cultivation of this valuable tree
has been and still is sadly neglected.
The time must soon come when the
implements required for agricultural
purposes on the far western prairies
will be manufactured there, and good
timber must be had. Therefore, it re-
quIres no great stretch of the magma
ton to see that profitable market
will soon exist far away from the pres
ent source OF supply. The cultivation
of such timber is like money put out at
compound interest, and man investing
a very small sum at first will soon find
himself the possessor of large and con-
stantly increasing capital. The white
ash is Il tree easily grown from seed,
which may be obtained in unlimited
quantities and very cheaply. The
seedlings may be easily transplanted
without fear of loss, and they will sue
ceed IN almost any good, rich soil At
first the seedlings appear to make slow
progress III comparison to cottonwoods
and willows, but when fairly estabr
lished their growth is rapid and every
way satisfactory. As soon as the trees
are few inches in diameter the timber
is ready for use, and thenceford con-
tinues to increase with age. Farmers
who are in need or likely to be of good
timber should not neglect the cultiva-
ton of this most valuable tree.

Uses oI II waste Paper.

Waste paper can be made to perform
a variety of service in household econ
omy Any surface like a stoveor CRATE
requiring backing can be kept bright
for a long time by being rubbed daily
with waste paper. Windows, or any
glass surface that has been thoroughly
washed, can be wiped and polished
with pieces of white newspaper. Tin
that has been secured, or silver that
has been rubbed, can be brighted in
the same way. Several thicknesses of
newspaper laid under carpets are an
economical substitute for the material
found al the carpet stores for the same
purpose. House plants covered by
newspapers viii resist the frost on cold
nights, and out door plants can be
protected IN the same way. Newspapers
placed between blankets have the effect
of additional bedding. These are only
few of the uses of waste paper that
could easily be enumerated. We
recommend IT as a household agent,
because the supply is unlimited, and
because, after having done duty once,
it can be still available for use as
hndling, or to be sold to the dealers

Rearing IS a coltish trick which is
generally lost as the horse grows older.
In slight cases it consists in the horse
simply raising a little before and then
dropping again, as If from play only ::
but III the worst form it is a systematic
attempt to throw the rider, and some
times the horse goes so far as to throw
himself back Us we'll. When in an ag,
grayated form it is frightful vice, and
with an inexperienced rider may be at
tended with fatal mischief.
The remedy for this vice is the mar
flngale, which may either be used with
rings running on the snatfie rein, or
attached directly by the ordinary billet
and buckle, or, again, by means of a
running rem, which commences from
the breast-strap of the martingale and
then running through the ring of the
snatfie with a pulley like action it is
brought back to the hand, and it may
thus be frightened or relaxed according
to circumstances, so as to briug the
horses head absolutely down to his
breast, or, on the other hand, to give
it entire liberty, without dismounting.
With determined brute nothing
short of this last kind will pre-
vent rearing; and even it will
tall III some cases, for there are some
horses which rear with their heads be-
tween their fore legs. Nevertheless,
they are rare exceptions, and with the
majority the martingale in some form
is etlicacious. 1t should never be put
ON the curb rein with rearing, and in
deed curb is seldom to be used at all
to horses addicted to that vice; they
are always made worse by the slightest
touch of the bit, and unless they are
very much inclined to run away, it is
far better to trust to n straight bit or
plain Snatfle, which, by not irritating
the mouth, viii often induce them to
60 pleasantly, whereas more severe
bit would tempt them to show their
temper by rearing.
Breaking bottle Of water between
the ears, or severe blow in the same
part, may IN some cases be tried but
the continued use OF the martingale
viii generally suffice. There is also a
mode OF curing rearers sometimes at
tempted, by letting them rise, and
then slipping eff on one side and pull
ing them back; but it Is dangerous
feat for both horse and rider, and has
often led to a broken back on the part
of the horse, rs well as sometimes to
severe injury to the rider. 1t is scarce
ly necessary to remark that the rider
should IN all cases lean well forward,
and relax the birdie while the horse is
IN the AIR.

From these figures it appears that
the barley crop must have pumped
mp and evaporated l, 035 tons Of water
per acre.
Messrs. Lawes and Gilbert say !:
= As the excavation proceeded, barley
roots were observed to have extended
to depth OF between four and five
feet, and the clayey sub~soil APP
pfared to be much more disinte-
grated and much dryer where the roots
had penetrated than where they had
not. E"
Hence Mr.. Harris concludes that,
during the summer months, while
the trees are growing rapidly and pro-
ducing fruit, they need abunIauce of
moisture. Nothing should be allowed
to grow among them-not even weed.
If anything is grown in autumn and
spring 1T should be eaten off before the
dry weather OF summer, or else it
should be mown and allowed to lie on
the surface for {, mulch.

Haloo, halloo calls Farmer 10,
a pleasant day is breaking;
The SKY is bright with morning light,
lis Time the boys are waking.
leigh no, heigh-ho! to Farmer 10,
Cry all the boys, Astounding

Long ere the horn is sounding.
Morning and noon-how very soon
The day of labor passes
Whether tits SOW, or plow, or hoe,
Or haylng 'monS the grasses.
Heigh-ho, helgh-ho says Farmer 10,
Our days work now IS ended;
AT home to rest, to say the best,
Before the sun descended.
Work we'll begun is one-half done,
Is an oft-repeated saying
An early start Is no small part
OF any game we're PLAYING.

LONDON, June 80, 1872.

CAN IT BE TRUE within the last
few months considerable number of
persons have called upon Dr. Walker,
the proprietor of the popular medicine
known as VINEGAR BITTERs, and assur-
cd him that, in their belief, his prepar-
alton is an infallible antidote for rum
and tobacco. The minute details which
have been furnished him forbid him to
doubt the accuracy of the statements.
This new claim of great remedy to the
confidence of the public will give vast
and well deserved impulse to it's popu-
larity. Heretofore the Bitters have
been recognized as pure vegetable
tonic and corrective, devoid of alcohol,
and thoroughly adapted to the cure of
stomach and bowel complaints, nervous
disorders, bilious affections, muscular
diseases, and, indeed, majority of
the ailments within the reach of medi-
cine' but if it will also cure the craving
for liquor and tobacco, philosophers,
statesmen and theologians ought to
unite their voices in its praise. Can
the good news be true? It is easy to
test the questlon.-COm.

THE ship in the desert story, which

there by some terrible storm. Another
wonder was water running up hill.

WHILE NJ. Francisque Sarcey was en-
gagged recently on a series of articles
with the view of exposing the La Sal
cite miracle, he suddenly lost all his
notes and his books connected with
the affair, leaving them in a railway
carriage or a cab. The disappearance
of his carpet bag with these literary
treasures he characterizes as miracu-
lous. The clerical party will not be
sorry for this loss, as NJ. Sarcey was
about to republlsh the decision of the
court of Grenoble, which distinctly
found that Mile. de Lamer'iere was
the person who passed herself off as

Monster Wooden War Shin,

The monster ship which England has
christened the Shah, out of compliment
to the potentate, has just been launch
ed at Portsmouth and is regarded as
one of the completest ships in the navy.
She is built of wood, and is the fifth OF
the new wooden vessels which have
been introduced into the navy There
is nothing remarkable ahput her con-
struction, but considerable interest has
been excited about ships of this class
from the mere fact that they are wood
en-. and that in the present day it
should be found desirable to recon-
mence wooden shipbuilding. The
Shah is a frigate of 1000 tons and 1,00C
nominal horse power, and is construct
ed to carry % guns from g. to Is tons
IN weight.

VIII "a Good Miich Cow Consume More
Food than Il Poor One.

Ia the report of the Western New

printed in the Country Gentleman, of
July 3, p. 1877. occurs the following
passage: This single COW has made
80 pounds of butter III single season,
He tile owner) had TO feed ker extra
we'll to get this yield from her. One
OF his neIghbors said that it cost ali
the extra butter to get the extra feed.
All present seemed TO agree that good
mixers are good eaters, and that more
care is required to keep good COWS III
condition than small mixers.
This IS precisely our experience, and
We have no other. A brother of ours
mas tested the matter carefully, and
invariably the best mixers were the
greatest eaters, and the food consumed
was III proportion to the milk and but
ter realized. This was with the COM
mon native breed And yet it is held
10y men who stand as authority that 1T
VIII cost 10 more to keep good mich
COW than an inferior one. 1t requires
put little thought to see the fallacy OF
TINS. Is not the excess OF milk from n
good COW over poor one obtained

Judging BY the remarks made, the Connecticut
election pieaseS everybody. The democratic
papers claim il a "a sweeping democratic
victory because, through New Haven
disafeetOn Ingersoll was elected governor.
The New York T,iJs,ne declares, on the
other hand, that sit is not, in any degree.
a democratic victory; it is decidedly a re-
publican and administration defeat" That
10 TO say, the Tribune figures out a Glib
erai' Ro-party triumph. Finally, the republi-
cans point to the reelection OF all their Congress
men BY increased msjorities, as showing that
on national issues and outside from local dissen-
Sions the state is decidedly republican. Ger
tainly the victory is substantially with the re-
publlesns, who maintain all their strength in
Congress.
BY an analysis of the vote for Congressman
IN Connecticut, it will be seen that the republi-
cans have In all three OF their districts been re
elected by largely increased majorities Mr..
Starkweather's majority is ,52l, an increase of
80 over his previous election; Mr.. Kellogg has
8 majority, an increase of ASS; and Gen. Haw-
lev has yS52 majority, an increase OF $50.

Indeed! This is odd. We could have sworn
that the chronieLs commenced the statement
referred to, as follows
"The Republicans and STAR have made state

by this line in transporting its passengers be-

boat instead Of via Alexandra and Washington
railroad, which are not sustained by the facts,
as are ddrised."
