FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
rhe Waste of Cotton seed.

MIR. Aiken, of South Carolina, says
that the loss by neglecting to save cot
ton seed is immense piles of the seed
are allowed to decompose and waste at
every gin house, and yet the seed is a
valuable manure. For cultivating crops,
30 bushels of cotton seed in the drill,
or 80 bushels broadcast, to the acre,
will increase the crop considerably.
Seed can be rotted by composing it in
alternate layers of leaves, straw and
stable manure; 100 bushels of green
cotton seed, mixed in bulk with ton
of soluble phosphate and allowed to re-
main fortnight, will make capital
compost for 10 acres of any cultivated
crop.

How They Get a Horse In.

When horse falls down, fourteen
men put their hands in their pockets
and ask each other why they didn't do
something. Fifteen other men advise
the driver until he is half mad, and
two small boys stand by, with their
hands clasped, and an expression of de.
termination written on every lineament
Then seven men ask why somebody
don't hold his head, until one old gem
tleman volunteers TO hold it. He steps
forward calmly, bends over the pros
trate animal and puts one hand gently
on his ear. The horse, getting tired,
raises his head suddenly, the crowd
laugh, and the old gentleman seems To
take no further interest in the proceed.
ings. Then the horse, having had all
the fun he can have, rises like tidal
wave, and the crowd disperses. Forrest

The SKEPTICAL CONVINCED. Every
advance in Medicine, every new remedy
has encountered an opposition, which
is the test Of truth. Galen and Jenner
only were believed when they had
proved theirdiseoveries against opposi-
ton. But men are observing, and
benefits always make believers. No
incredulity can stand the silent argu-
ment of good results. WhenDr. Walk
er proclaimed that he had produced
from the medicinal herbs Of California
an Elixir that would regenerate the
sinking system and cure diseases not
organic, the incredulous shook their
heads Yet his VINEGAR BITrERs is
now the Standard restorative of the
Western World. The truth could not
be resisted. Under the operation of the
new remedy, Dyspeptics regained their
health, appetite and strength, the Bill

which changes to light pink during

the color fades, disappearing entirely
after sunset, when the flower closes and

The Formation of Diamonds.

Two specimens of diamonds found by
Agassiz imbedded in the itacolumite or
elastic sandstone of Brazil settled the
long mooted question of the matrix or
natural origin of that jewel. Diamonds
are particles of pure carbon crystalized
at a certain temperature, caused by the
volcanic action which has upheaved all
the lodges of itacolumite or elastic sand
stone found on the face of the globe.
If this precise degree of heat should by
any Eruption or convulsion of nature
be applied to those vast storehouses of
carbon, the coal fields of the West,
there is no telling the amount of dia-
mond crystals that might be produced.
But it seems that this exact amount of
heat is never attained save in the tia
columite formation, and whenever loose
diamonds are found in sands or in con-
glomerate formation they prove the ex-
istence of larger quantities imbedded
in itacolumite in the neighborhood.
Wherever that formation is up-
heaved, therefore we may look for dia-
mond deposits near As vet no efforts
have been made to bore into The itacol-
unite formation itself for these gems.
But as it is granular silicious rock of
laminated structure distinguished by
its peculiar fexibility, sheets of it bend
ing back and forth as if jointed, there
is no reason why it should not be work
ed to advantage i'll searching for dia-
monds. Lodges of it are found in
Georgia, and North and South Carolina,
and diamonds of great value have been
picked up in the first named state.
