No on can read the religious papers which

awakened interest in all the churches. This re.

that every great financial crisis be followed
by tidal wave OF religious enthusiasm. Tho
exact relation between the two is not easily asccr-
tained, but that there is q relation, and very
intimate one no man doubts. 1t may be that

SEAsoNABLE FooD.-The wholesome

We have grown so luxurious in our phys
zeal as well as mental tastes that we are
constantly tempted to eat things out of
season Yielding TO the temptation, as
we often do, we pay the penalty, soon or
late in temporary or chronic derange-
ment of our health. The meat, which is
excellent in cold, may not be desirable in
warm weather; fish is best during spring
and early summer; vegetables and fruit
are nutritious when they are fully ripen-

ficially stimulated. Nature knows what
she is doing; she furnishes for every at

delicacies of the season will not hurt us:
but the delicacies out of season certainly

strawberries in December, needs careful
correction by the adoption of the sim
plest habits The palate naturally rel

Agricultural Experiment Stations IN Ger

The most numerous and important re

tions. There are, IN general, chemical
laboratories connected wirh stables,
fields, gardens. or greenlouse. where

An important function Of these sta

OF commercial fertilizers by chemical
analysis. The uscfulness OF this control
system In preventing frauds ia thee ar
ticles has suggested the application of "a
similar one TO the examination Of seeds.

FEEDING MEAL TO Cows.-The best
way to give meal to COWS is either TO mix
it with some cut hay, moistened so that
the meal will adhere TO it, or to scald il
and give it in the shape Of a thin cruel
as drink. In the first place it is nee
essary TO perfect digestion that the saliva
should be mixed with the food and that
the food should be returned from the
first stomach to the mouth for a second
chewing or rumination. This is only
done when the food is bulky, requiring
considerable chewing. In the second
place the gullet, or passage from the
mouth to tie stomach, in ruminantS,
opens directly into the third stomach,
having intermediate longitudinal open
ings closed by lips, by lips, by which the
food enters the first AID second stom-
achs. II the food is bulky and solid it
separates the lips of these openings and
finds an entrance to either or both the
first and second stomach. II otherwise,
it passes over the closed lips and enters
the third stomach. In the first case, by
a periodic inverted action of the gulIct.
the food IS thrown in small quantities
from tie stomachs to the mouth, where
it Is reduced to n soft sclniIiquid condi-
ton, in which state it is passed easily to
the third stomach for digestion. In the
second place it misses this process of
ruminaiion, and is therefore not in a
condition for perfect digestion, and the
meal is scent to pass away in considerable
quantities unaltered Igri-
cUlfHriSf.

EPICUREAN COFFEE. There is such q
thing as science even in cofTee-making,
and the French understand it better,
perhaps, than any other people in the
world. They can combine different cof-
fees, ike the parts Of fine wine, to pro
duce certain rare bouquets or aromas
for the epicure Not more than half a
pound.of coffee should be roasted at a
time for domestic use; it should be
ground just before going into the pot;
an ounce should be allowed 10 every
three cups; in its mixture with the white
of ees TO clear it there should be some
warmth before the water is added and
it should never be allowed TO reach a
boil. Observe these rules, which are
based upon scientific reasons, and you
may make from an inferior cofTee-bean
beverage far superior to what general
ly goes by that name.

Where they can't get vegetation they
eat the earth. The deposit from them,
where they are in a green field, is in
color and general appearance and con-
sistency that of pulpy wheat blade. In
the neighborhood of Harris Grove, in
Harrison county, they have ruined the
young fruit trees that were set out last
spring. Mr.. Williams, a nurseryman
who lives near Dunlap, informed me
that they had taken all the seedlings
which he had set out this spring, and
that they would hardly wait for them
TO come out of the ground. He also
says they are working some upon his
two and three year old trees, but not to
any great extent. They are not as bad
in the vicinity of Dunlap as they are
further down the Bouyer river. The
farmers here think that if they go away
before long there will be enough
grain raised to bread the country, and
some to spare Those who have already
had their wheat destroyed think that. if
they let the corn alone they will have
enough to winter their stock, but they
have already begun to devastate the
corn fields.
