A Life Plant.

A gentleman of Williamsport, Pa,
travelling in Jamaica, W. l., a few
years ago, was attracted by a vigor
Gus looking plant growing on the
roadside in the dry and arid soil, ap-
parently the only vegetation that
could withstand the extreme heat
and drouth. Upon inquiry, he was
told it was the life plant, and that, if
a leaf should be suspended by thread
from the ceiling, it would put forth
roOtlets from each of the dentate
notches. He broke off a twig and a
leaf, and packed them among some
dried grass and brought them home
with him. The moisture in the air in
the tropics was so penetrating that
they grew in his trunk, and the twig
continued to grow after it was planted
in the ground. up TO the present time.
Last winter it bloomed, the flowers
were in a large panicle, purple bells,
about an inch and half long, and
they soon began to fade. At the sug-
gestion of a gardener, the top was cut
of, but, the plant looking a little un-
interesting, the top was stuck into
The ground, when new buds appeared,
md it continues 20 bloom as though
it was on th parent stock.

London Field
"The fatal disease caused by the
presence of the fatal cape worm, ap-
pears unusually prevalent. 1 have
had it in my own runs, where it has
attacked some Sebright bantams but
L have found no difficulty in curing it
by the means of carbOlic acid, which
1 first recommended for this purpose
in the Field Of last year. So potent
are the fumes of this powerful reme'
DIV, and so Obstructive are they to
parasitic hfe,. that their inhalation
for even a few moments seems perfec-
ly effecual in destroying the life of the
worm. 1t is not even necessary to
employ any special apparatus a few
drops of carbolic acid may be placed
In spoon and held over the flame of
a candle until thevapor is seen to rise,
when the head OF young chicken or
pheasant (held in the other hand)may
be placed in the vapor, which the ami
NAL is forced to inhale Care must be
taken not to carry on the process un
til the fowl as well as the worms are
killed. 1 find after exposure to the
fumes for few seconds tie bird may
be regarded as cured, and may be
seen running about quite well on the
following day; if not, the treatment
should be repeated. The medicinal
carbolic acid is preferable to the tarry
liquid used for disinIecting sewers and
drainS.''

Treating Bones.

A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer
writes: a few pounds OF bones are worth
as a wagon load of barn-yard
manure. The farmer may ask, Show
shall l get the richness out of these
bones?" In the first place, when you
prepare your leach to get lye for max
ing soap, put the bones in the bottom
OF the leach; after you get all the lye
out of the ashes, take the bones out !;
all of the softer bones will now mash
up very easily, but those that remain
hard must be boiled in lye until they
become soft; after which they may be
ground in a corn and cob mill, if you
have one-if not, you can mash them
with a hammer; the finer they are
ground the better they are. You now
take this bone-dust and sprinkle a
very little of it about anything you
want to have grow fast; be sure and
put but little to a plant, as this is a
very powerful fertilizer.

Narrowing Wheat.

The N. Y. World says: Narrowing
winter wheat in spring was practiced
successfully in Western New York in
the palmy days of wheat growing
there. But it has not been q general
practice among wheat growers. Lat
terly, the discussion OF its advantages
and disadvantages has occupied space
in our agricultural papers. So far,
we have seen no testimony against
and much in favor of the practice
from those who have tried it; and
Just now we came across, in a letter
from an American in France, the
statement that "F-ench farmers are
pretty generally adopting the plaa Of
giving a few strokes of the harrow d.
this season, to their winter wheat "
The writer adds that it is strange this
practice relative to wheat is new,
while it has been adopted on artificial
meadows and lucerne from time imme
mortal, not only to eradicate moss, but
to freshen up the spring crop.

DIPPING TIE HAND INTO MOLTEN
IRON.

The thing has been done over and
over sgain, observed DIR. Carpenter
in y recent lecture--that q man has
gone and held his naked hand in such
stream OF molten iron, and has
done it without the least injury all
that is required being TO have his
hand moist and if his hand is dry,
he has merely to dip it in water, and
he may hold his hand for certain
time in that stream OF molten iron
without receiving any injury what
ever. This was exhibited publicly at
a meeting OF the British Association
at Ipswich, many years ago. 1t is one
OF the miracles of science, so to
speak; they are perfectly credible to
scientific men, because they know the
principle upon which 1t happens, and
that principle is familiar to you all
that if you throw q drop OF water
upon hot iron, the water retains its
spherical form, and does not spread
upon it and wet it. Vapor is brought
to that condition by intense heat, that
it forms q sort of film, or atmosphere,
between the hand and the hot iron,
and for lime that atmosphere is not
too hot to be perfectly bearable. There
are a number of these miracles Of
science, which we believe, however
incredible at first sight they may ap-
pear, because they can be brought TO
the test OF experience and can be at
any time reproduced under the nee
essary conditions.-Houdin, the con-
jurer, in his very interesting autobI-
ography-a little book l would re-
commend to any of you who are
interested in the study of the work
ings of the mind. Houdin, tells you
that be himself tried this experiment,
after q good deal of persuasion and
he says that the sensation of INNER
sing his hand IN this molten metal
was like handling liquid velvet.

TrauspIanting EyerSreens,


The best season for transplanting is
June or July. The Hon. Samuel
Walker, once President of the Massa
chusetts Horticultural Society, who
owned the extensive nurseries in Rox-
bury, transplanted 100 arbor vitae
trees for the writer on the 1st day OF
August, warranting every one to live,
and only one or two died. They
should be watered at the time and
mulched, but not watered again unless
very dry weather, and then not oftener
than once a week, as they do not Re.
quire as much water as deciduous
trees and may be killed by too much

Salt for Pear Trees.

The result of an experiment is thus
reported by horticulturist: "Last
Spring, 1 put a small shovelfnl of the
refuse material from the salt works,
which is composed, 1 believe, of salt,
lime and ashes, around four year old
pear tree. 1t has made very thrifty
growth, and the leaves are all free from
blight or spot, and have a very healthy
glossy look while others of the same
lot, manured with barnyard manure,
have grown but little, and the foliage
is spotted and dull. Now, if no ILL.,
effect may be attributed to the barn.
yard manure, it would seem that the
difference in these trees was owing to
the salt.

Stop the Leaks.

The proceedings of the AnDual
Convention of the South Carolina
Agricultural and Mechanical Society
contain these pertinent remarks, which
are as applicable to the farmer of the
West as to Southern planters, so far
as producing as much for consumption
OIL the farm as possible is concerned &.
In the first place, all the leaks on
the plantation, however small, must
be stopped, for often penny saved is
two pence made. A pound of bacon
bought at ten cents seems cheap
enough; but when the teams with
hired drivers are 20 be taken from the
farm to haul-it from the place OF pur.
chase, or from the railroad and then,
too, the money which is to pay for i;
being in all probability an .fufssTO and
drawing one and halt per cent. per
month, considerable trouble and labor
had better be incurred to grow that
meat at home, rather than buy be-
cause so cheap. No farmer in South
Carolina need buy a single pound of
meat. One single well bred hog,
twelve months old, butchered annu-
ally for each member of his family,
will supply him with an abundance
of meat And this can be done by
simply economizing the waste about
cur farm lots. The fallen fruits, the
stubhle fields, the kitchen sIops, and
the gleanings about his stables, will
suffice to produce a sufficient quantity
of meat for the farmers family.
In the second place, bread srould
never be bought with the cotton crop.
If wheat cannot be grown it should
be bought with corn; or if corn be
an Improbable crop, which it is on
nine-tentLs of the plantations of South
Carolina, some other grain less expen-
sive, but equally valuable in market,
should be grown to be SOLD or given
in exchange for wheat or -four. If
our farmers could be induced to de-
termine to produce their own meat
and bread, Two great points would be
gained towards adopting that system
of plantation economy which would
restore our State to her wonted pros
perity. But so long as our smoke
houses are in Baltimore, and our grain
crops in the Northwest, SO long we
will continue to be "hewers of wood
and drawers of water for other less
favored, but more prudent people.

Shopping.

People who have nothing else TO do,
find amusement in s:roliing about the
streets and looking in the shop win
dows, and this pleasure is greatly en-
hanced if there is little money to
spend. Sometimes ladies complain of
the fatigue Of shopping. 1t may be
fatiguing, but they like 1t; and it GER
tainly is FAR preferable TO making calls.
What is sport for the purchaser is
sheer work for the salesman. 1t is no
recreation for him to be showing
goods, and very likely il is often a
trial of temper to pay attention to a
customers Ehims. Some ladies are
very difficult to please, and viii be
an hour selecting two or three yards
of ribbon. Well, colors must har-
monize, and all we can venture TO say
to fair shoppers is, "Do not be need
lessly fastidious." But to ladies who
go into shops to look and not to buy,
we venture on a stronger remoG.
STRANGE. We do not mean that there
is any moral obligation 10 buy il you
enter a shop On the contrary, the
shop is open to you to inspect the
goods, and to buy if you like; and it
may, and will happen, now and then,
that the goods you inspect do not suit
you We refer to those who enter a
shop for pastime, and with no inten-
ton of purchasing. Perhaps those
who go into shop without purchas-
ing are not aware that they iniure the
person who attends upon them. The
is censured, and sometimes
fined, for allowing 4 customer to go
without buying, and hence the nat
ural anxiety to sell you something.
Mind, we do not say that those who
enter a shop are morally bound to
purchase; but We say that no one
should enter a shop without the in
tention of buying if the goods suit
and a bona tide customer, who is not
suited, gives very little trouble.
