YOUNG GRAFrs.-Rub off all starting
shoots below the graft on their first ap-
pearance ; the larger they become the
greater will be the check to the tree by
the loss of the leaves. The same care
is needed for the buds set last summer.

MARX TWAIN was one day playing
with his first baby. His wife said /:
"You do love the baby. don't you,
Sam?" "Well," he replied, in his
hesitating way, Il won't say I love it,
but l can't help respecting it for its
fathers sake"

SoRREL.-Sorrel may be eradicated
the same as other weeds, by summer
following, or by putting the land in
some hoed crop, the production of
which will make it necessary to keep
the soil clean. If the soil contains
many seeds it may be necessary to fol-
low this course for more than single
year. Another method of subduing
sorrel is to put the land into some for
age crop and manures that will stimu-
late its growth. Red or white clover
are good crops, and lime and plaster
good manures for this purpose. At
one time it was believed that an appli-
cation of lime was sure to kill out sor-
rel, and at the same time was certain
to sustain the growth of valuable plants.
The fact that sorrel may be found grow
ing in the crevices of ledges of lime
rocks will disprove this theory. 1t is
quite certain that the only agency the
lime exerts is to sustain the growth OF
the plants which will overshadow the
sorrel, and thus check its growth.

A MILAN letter tells of a christening
in church of n two-year old baby. The
father held him, the godfather held
him, the god-mother held him, and the
priest took him. He was laid on a
pillow he was taken off the pillow.
The priest read Latin enough over him
to ruin his constitution (; they put salt
on him they poked cotton in his ears,
and they daubed him with oil, and he
bore it like a little saint but when
they dipped the back of his little, bald,
red head into the cold water, he spoke
right out, loud, in the meeting. in fact,
he put the Latin all in the shade.

EXTRACT OF SUMAC-According to
Reimann's Farberzeitung. extract OF
sumac, obtained by boiling and evapo-
rating in a vacuum, has recently been
brought into commerce in the form of
a thick sirup, which is without any
trace of acidity, and which will keep
indefinitely, while the common decoc-
tion of sumac soon turns sour and be-
comes useless. The chief advantage in
the nse of the extract lies in the econ
omy of time and room, since it simply
requires dilution with hot water. The
weight of extract for any shade, can
also be accurately determined, and it
can be conveniently employed in many
cases to produce a desired shade by
subsequent additions to the bath, and
may often be found of peculiar use in
dyeing, although possibly too expen-
sive for general use.

THE Journal Of Chemistry warns the
drinkers of the water of wells that are
near dwellings to beware of the typhoid
poison sure to be found. sooner or
later, in those reservoirs, if any of the
house drainage can percolate them.
The gelatinous matter often found upon
the stones of a well is a poison to the
human system, probably causing, by
its spores, fermentation of the blood,
with abnormal heat or fever. Whole
some, untainted water is always free
from all color and odor. To test it
thoroughly. place half pint in clear
bottle, with few grains of lump-sugar
and expose it, stoppered, to sunlight in
a window. If even after an exposure of
eight or ten days, the water becomes
turbid, be sure that it has been con-
taminated by sewage of some kind. If
it remains perfectly clear, it is pure and
safe"

ECONOMY OF LEAD FACINGs.-It is
found that by the use of lead facings to
pistons and cylinder lids considerable
economy in the use of steam may be
effected. An iron lid and piston will,
other things being equal, condense
more than three times as much steam
as lead-faced piston and lid. The
thickness of metal heated and cooled at
each stroke is not considerable, and not
far into the metal a zone of constant
temperature, lower than that of the
steam, will be found. The distance
from this zone to the inside of the cyl
inder will depend on the conducting
power of the metal, and will be about
nine for lead to twelve for iron. 1t may
be shown that in any case the thickness
of the lead facing may be kept within
very moderate limits. Other materials
may be used for the same purpose, as
for instance, tin, the specific heat OF
which is O562, its specific weight being
little less than that of iron. Its con-
ductiDg power is, however, in excess OF
that of iron, being as fifteen is to
twelve.

Agricultural.

How TO EAT GREEN CoRS.-A farmer
thus speaks on the manners of eating
green corn: "With green corn comes
the annual discussion as to the way OF
eatingit politely. 1 don't remember
that the late Professor Blot had any
thing to say about it, and suspect o
purely American dish-so Independent
for flavor of the cooks art-might be
given the go-by by such an expert, ex-
cept he were one of those supernatural
cooks who have the grace to leave well
enough alone. If the wild Indian were
but extinct, and become classic-if we
were not being scalped by him all the
time-we might assume his way, or as
sumo he had way-in the lack OF for
eign precedent. As it is, there is no
standard for table behavior in green
corn time, and distressing lack of uni
formity. There are as many methods
as people around the board. OF those
who cut the corn from the cob, some
cut from and others toward themselves
hold the ear at all possible angles,
and either end uppermost. OF those
who go for the kernels tooth and nail,
some eat one, two, three, or four rows
horizontally; others eat round and
round, directly or spirally, perhaps fol-
lowing in unseemly haste the drip of
the butter. Unless the hot ear can be
kept constantly turning-like spitted
fowl being basted-would it not be as
well to eat the necessary butter upon
cold bread, for it is next to an impos-
sibility to make the under lip and chin
do efficient and comely dripping pan
service. Yet we must acknowledge,
however, that people lick their chops
and enjoy their corn in their own way
perhaps quite as much as if there was
less liberty and more established
method.

CUNNING IN Fruit T-TREEs.-A writer
in q paper on the cause and cure of
cumming in fruit-trees gives the fol-
lowing practical suggestions on the
subject Among the remedical meas
ures which have been proposed for the
cure of this gum disease, there is one
which, to my own knowledge, has been
very effectual. This is the scarification
of the bark. / have seen trees which
were severely attacked by the disease,
and unable to produce any but small
and feeble shoots, completely restored
to health and sending forth fresh, Wig
orous shoots, after longitudinal incl
sions had been made in the bark of the
branches. The open wounds keep up a
very active irration in the bark, and
the bookstores are diverted to the for
nation of new and healthy cellules,
and cease to be drained away to the
sum-centres, while the vital energies of
the plant soon tend to resume their reg
ular course. Sterilization, in fine, acts
as a powerful diverting agent against
the disease.

How TO TALK.-f you have the
ability to amuse, talk often in company,
and in way which shows that you
understand what is said around you.
But do not talk long. In that case you
are apt to tire your hearers. There are
many persons, who, though they have
nothing to talk of, never know when to
leave off talking. There are some who
labor under so great and Unsuitable a
desire tor talking, that they will even
interrupt others when about to speak.
We should in society never talk of our
own or others domestic affairs. Yours
are of no interest to them, and theirs
should not be toyou. Besides, the sub
ject is of SO delicate nature, that with
the best intentions it is chance If We
do not make some mortifying mistake,
or wound the feelings of some of the
company.

KEEP THE SOIL MELLOW AROUND
TREES. the surface of the
ground mulched around young trees
over an area of six to ten feet in diam
eter, the ground should be kept clean
and mellow. Every farmer knows that
a hill of corn or potatoes will not
amount to much unless cultivated, and
vet there are many who will neglect to
give the same care to a tree which is
worth hundred hills of either of the
former. In rich soils trees may grow
rapidly without cultivation, and no
amount of grass or weeds will retard
them f; but there are other things be-
sides growth to be looked after. If
the weeds and grass are allowed to
grow up around the stems of apple,
peach or ounce trees, the bark will be-
come soft near their base by being
shaded, and thereby in suitable con-
dition for the reception of the eggs
which will eventually become peach or
apple borers. Take any dozen young
trees in sections where the apple tree
borer is abundant, aud allow portion
to the checked with weeds and the re-
mainder well cultivated, and then watch
the result. From our own experience
we believe that the chances are nine to
one in favor of those cultivated being
exempt from this pest.

IELLows IN THE PEACH.-u you dig
around a peach with the yellows, you
will be first struck with a mushroomy
smell. Picking out the roots, and ex-
amining them with lens, you will see
millions of thread-like fibres, which are
the n'yceiia of fungi. These eat the
young tibres, and leave only the main
roots, through which all the nutriment
of the plant has to be gathered and as
an old root is unable to do much more
than draw III water, the tree becomes
in measure starved, and the leaves
become yellow, Just as they would be
if growing in poor soil, which, though
the plant might have plenty of roots,
furnished nothing for the roots to eat.
To have plenty of roots and no food is
equivalent to having plenty of food and
no roots. The effect on the plant is
just the same. Remedies which look to
the destruction of this root parasite are
employed. Hot water has done it, so
has a weak solution of salt /; others have
found a solution of potash succeed.
The exact nature of this fungus. so far
as We know, has not been investigated
to entire satisfaction. Fungi are very
polymorphous.

SUNSHINE AND SLEEP.-Sleepless per-
sons should court the sun. The very
worst soporific is laudanum, and the
very best-sunshine. Therefore, it is
very plain that poor sleepers should
pass as many hours as possible in the
sunshine and as few as possible in the
shade. Many women are martyrs, and
yet they do not know it. They shut
the sunshine out of their houses and
hearts, they wear wells, they carry
parasols, they do all possible to keep
off the most potent influence which is
intended to give them strength and
beauty and cheerfulness. Is it not time
to change all this, and so get color and
roses in our pale checks, strength in
our weak backs, and courage in our
tfmid souls The women of America
are pale and delicate, but with the aid
of sunlight they may be blooming and
strong.

CARBoNIo ACID AS Moron The
possibility of employing carbonic acid
as a motor-the successor of steam, as
it is termed by the autnor-is fore
shadowed by paper by DIR. II. Beins.
published in the English Chemical
Nea0s. The writer considers that he
has discovered very cheap way of
producing carbonic acid in liquid
state and consequently at high tension.
When natrium bicarbonate, or the cor
responding salt of kalium, in Il dry,
pulveriZed state or in watery solution,
is heated in a closed space, a part of
the carbonic acid is given off and con-
densed in a non-heated portion of that
space, SO that, at temperature of from
636o to Si3o Fab, liquid carbonic acid,
says DIR. Beins, can be distilled out of
those salts, with tension of from 80 to
60 atmospheres. This liquid carbonic
acid, or "carboleum" as it is called, it
is proposed to use to develop gas with
which engines are to be driven. The
paper on the subject contains a disser-
tation on the advantages of the plan,
but gives so few details regarding its
practical application, or with reference
to the manufacture of the carboleum or
liquid carbonic acid, that the gist of
the matter is summed up in the above
lines.

How CoLLrERY EXPLOSIONS ARE

How CoLLIKRY EXPLOSIONS ARE
CAUsED.-Nature describes q series of
experiments which have been con-
Quoted with the view of ascertaining,
whether, when once an explosion either
of gunpowder or of fire damp takes
place in mine, and large bodies of air
are driven through the passages with
great velocity, explosive accumulations
will be dislodged from cavities, and
pressed through the safety lamps with
force, requisite to pass the fame. The
principal experiment was made on part
of new sewer in North Woodside-road,
Glasgow. The sewer is ovoid in section I;
it is 6 feet high and feet wide at its
greatest dimensions part of it is a
tunnel in the solid rock, part is built in
brickwork through surface-drift. The
gas safety-lamp or the smaller apparatus
was placed on board fixed across the
sewer at a height of 2 feet s inches
from the bottom, and surrounded with
an explosive mixture of coal gas and air
in the same way as when it was used in
connection with the tin-plate tubes.
Shots were fired from pistol at certain
distances from the lamp. One hundred
and nine feet was the greatest distance
available in the part built of brick, and
at this point sound-wave of sufficient
intensity to pass the flame was produced
by firing charge of 1852 grammes -
SO grains of gunpowder. At Sc ft. from
the lamp a charge of 8 276 grammes
was required when the sound-wave
passed through the brickwork tunnel
all the way, and 2lSi grammes when it
passed through the tunnel in the solid
rock. These experiments seem to be
perfectly conclusive.

To Bon HAN.-Take q ham weigh
ing about eight or ten pounds, soak it
for twelve or t~enty-four hours in cold
water, then cover it with boiling water;
add one pint of vinegar, two or three
bay leaves, little bunch of thyme and
parsley. The dried and sifted will do,
or even the seeds of parsley may be
used, if the fresh cannot be procured.
Boil very slowly two hours and a half,
take it out, skim it, remove all the fat
except layer about half an inch thick,
cut off with a sharp knife all the black
looking outside put the ham into your
dripping-pan fat side uppermost, CRATE
bread. crust over it and sprinkle tea
spoonful of powdered sugar over it !;
put it in the oven for half an hour,
until it is beautiful brown. Eat cold.
Cut the incest portion in slices the
ragged and little odds and ends can be
chopped fine and used for sandwiches I;
or by adding three eggs to one pint of
the chopped ham and frying brown,
you have q delicious omelet for break
fast or lunch. The bone should be put
into the soup kettle. The rind and fat
should be rendered and strained for
frying potatoes or crullers.
CUTTING FLowERs.-Never cut your
flowers during intense sunshine, nor
keep them exposed to the sun or wind I;
do not collect them in large bundles or
tie them together as this hastens their
decay. Do not pull them, but cut them
cleanly off the plant with sharp knife.
not with scissors. When taken in
doors, place them in the shade, and re-
duce them to the required length of
stalk with a sharp knife, by which the
tubes, through which they draw up the
water are left open, and the water is
permitted to ascend freely; whereas.
If the stems are bruised or lacerated
the pores are closed up. Use pure
water to set them in, or pure white sand
in state of saturation, sticking the
ends of the stalks into it, but not in a
crowded manner. If in water alone, it
ought to be changed daily and thin
slice should be cut off the ends OF the
stalks at every change of water.
SUNSHINE AND DSLEEP.-Sleepless per-
