The FLIGHT OF BIRDS.
Guthrie, in relation to the lowering of
birds, states that, when the bird de-
sires to hover over a given spot, it
moves by an expenditure of muscular
force until it finds a region where one
layer of air is moving, say, from right
to left, and another from left to right.
Then placing its body and most of its
right wing in the lower stratum, it tits
its body SO that some of its left wing is
in the upper layer. By altering its
hight, by turning one wing in its socket
and probably also by turning some of
the pen feathers on their axes, and
altering the inclination of its wings, the
bird so governs the pressure on the two
wings that the sum of the vertical re-
volved parts is equal to the birds
weight, while the horizontal revolved
parts are equal and opposite.

How TO TELL A GOOSE FROM A GAN
pER,-In sorting out a flock of geess
for home breeding or to make sales, it
is often difficult to distinguish The
males from the females. A correspon-
dent thus delineates the difference
''The goose has always feminine ap-
pearancs and the gander the opposite.
Her head is smaller and her beak
shorter knot on forehead smaller and
not SO pointed her neck shorter and
more delicate the black streak on back
of neck not so high colored ring
around head not so bright her neck
comes out of her body more abruptly
(this is occasioned by her having a
larger breast than the gander), giving
square appearance to the body. The
Voice of the gander is keener and louder;
coloring about the head more brilliant;
eyes keener and always on the lookout.
With such marks plain to view, any
practical gooseman can readily distin-
guish one from the other.

SALT BRINE FOR LICE.-In answer to
many inquiries for remedy for lice,
the Rur0! World states that an appli-
cation of brine, as strong as can be
made, is certain remedy. 1t will kill
the lice outright, but not always the
nits hence second or third applica-
ton is required to be effectual. Hogs
are greatly pestered with lice, and they
should be destroyed. Watch the colts
and calves carefully, and if you see any
failing look out for lice. A closeinspec-
tion will reveal hundreds of them feed
ing upon the poor animal. An applica-
tion, on a warm day, of brine will bring
great relief. A decoction of tobacco
applied Will also rid the animal of these
pests. A thorough greasing is also a
remedy. Don't let the poor animal
suffer. These applications are as good
for human beings as for brutes.

WHIrwoRTH STEEL.-Some idea of the
solidity of compressed casting of Whit
worth metal may be CLEANED from the
fact that, five minutes after the appli-
cation of pressure,-about twenty tuns
TO the square inch,-a column of fluid
steel becomes shorter by 12'5 per cent,
or II inches to the foot. Sir Joseph
Whitworth, as writer in Iron states,
holds the proportion that for certain
purposes a metal must be used having
a certain tensile strength and certain
percentage of ductility. Hence the
metal cast at the Whitworth works is
classified according to its possession of
these qualities, and arranged for conve-
nience in four groups, distinguished by
colors, red, blue, brown and yellow,
and by numbers, No. ] of each group
representing the most ductile metal,
and No. the least so. OF Low Moor
wrought iron, the tensile strength per
square inch is % tuns, and ductility or
percentage of elongation, 80. In good
cast iron the same qualities are repre-
sented by 10 and 075. Various samples
of Whitworth steel similarly tested gave
from Sc to ~ tuns tensile strength, and
from 80 to IA per cent elongation.
There is shown singular relation be-
tween the tensile strength and ductility
of the metal, the one generally increas-
ing as the other decreases, a circum-
stance, which, it is suggested, may
possibly deserve investigation.

THE CORRELATION OF FORCES. OF
the various forms of energy existing in
Nature, any one may be transformed
into any other, the one form appearing
as the other disappears. This is what
is meant by 'the correlation of forces. "
Thus the rotary power of wheel, if
applied to turn a magnet, is converted
into electricity and this electricity, if
employed to drive wheel, is changed
back into rotary power.

WEI BooIs.-The AgriculturiSt gives
the following advice to farmers, who,
Rext to fishermen, are apt to get their
boots wet through: "When the boots
are taken of, fill them quite full with
dry oats. This grain has a great fond
ness for damp, and rapidly absorbs the
last vestige of it from the wet leather.
As it takes up the moisture it swell
and fills the boot with tightly fitting
last, keeping its form good and drying
the leather without hardening it. In
the morning shake out the oats and
hang them in bag near the fire to dry,
ready for the next wet night, draw on
the boots, and go happily about the
days work"

PRESERVED PEARs.-Take small, rich,
fair fruit, as soon as the pips are black;
set it over the fire in kettle, with wa
ter to cover them let them simmer
until they yield to the pressure of the
finger, then with a skinner remove
them to cold water, pare them neatly,
leaving on little of the stem and the
blossom end. Pierce them at the blossom
end to the core, then make syrup of
pound of sugar for each pound of fruit.
When it is boiling hot, pour il over the
pears and let it stand until the next
day. Then drain it off, make it boiling
hot, and again pour it over. After a
day or two, put the fruit in the syrup
over the fire, and boil gently until it is
clear, put it in the jars or spread it on
dishes, boil the syrup thick, then put
it and the fruit in Jars.

in reality, they are all symptoms caused by
some uterine disorder; and while they are
thus only able perhaps to palliate for a
time, they are ignorant Of the cause, and
encourage their practice until large bills

USE OF SULPHUR IN THE NTNEYARD.-
A writer in the HorticulturiSt, says of
the reports made of recent experiments
in the use of sulphur on Catawba vine
yards on the Islands 1t was stated by
one of the grape-owners from there,
that sulphuring the vines had been
practiced to some extent for several
years past, and that when iudiciously
done, it was found a certain preventive
of mildew and rotting of the fruit, and
also of the blighting of the foliage and
where this was practiced, in 1872, the
vines ripened their wood so well as to
suffer but little damage from the winter,
and thus produced a half crop, while
vineyards not sulphered bore no fruit
at all. These facts will cause a very
general use of sulphur hereafter, and
much Improvement is expected there
from. The practice is to mix the sui
phur with an equal quantity of fine,
air-slacked lime, and apply the powder
with bellows of which they manufac-
ture a very cheap style for the purpose.
The first application is made as soon
as the blossoms are off in June, and re-
peat once a month or so during the sum-
mer. The labor and expense are quite
small compared with the benefits and
the practice is recommended to grape
growers generally, especially for varie-
ties thatare subject to mildew or blight
ing of the foliage. Let us all give the
experiment trial and report, the re-
suits next year.

CULTIVATION OF WHITE BEANS
There is no reason why the culture of
field beans, if carefully harvested and
cared for after harvesting, should not
be profitable. The great trouble is
that. during the time of curing, the
beans are apt to become discolored,
more or less, causing them to be IN
salable until they are hand-picked, a
tedious process. Twenty bushels per
acre is a good crop. For culture, drill
the seed of the white navy variety in
rows two and half feet apart, at the
rate of from one to one and one half
bushels per acre, and keep the crop
from weeds. Do not gather the crop
until about dry. Pull only when the
dew is off, and in dry weather; place
the handful in regular rows on the tops,
the roots placed together. III you are
so unfortunate as TO get the crop wet
after being pulled, the punches must
be turned until dry. If not, place them
loosely on scaffolds as soon as suffi-
cientiy dry, or else thresh out immedi-
ately and spread the cleansed product
on floor, turning from time to time
until thoroughly dry and hard.

Agricultural.

EXTRACT OF APPLEs.-In some parts
of Ohio new processes of utilizing apples
have been invented and put In opera
tion, which place the culture of this
fruit upon an entirely new basis. One
process is of making apple-ielly, and
one of "apple-butter" The jelly is a
condensed product requiring a large
quantity of apples for corresponding
small amount of Jelly, and it must, by
consequence be dear, and perhaps 1t is
neither as profitable nor as popular an
industry as the other, which uses the
whole of apples with little condensa-
tion. Apple bntter differs from the ap
ple-sause of New England only in the
manufacture. Apple-sauce is made, or
used to be made, by boiling down ci-
der, that of sweet apples usually pre-
ferred, and of adding pared and quart
cred apples when the whole was boiled
Just enough to make the apple soft, but
not enough to break down the structure.
In making apple-butter the boiling is
continued much longer, and the whole
mass is thoroughly mixed together by
constant stirring until it becomes like
mush, and the more thoroughly this
process is performed the better is the
quality, particularly in regard to keep
ing. Both preparations are kept in jars,
and often in barrels made for the pur-
pose. The chief defect of apple sauce
was that when warm weather came in
the spring it was apt to ferment and be-
come sour, when it was necessary to re-
boil it. Apple butter seldom fermented
and if kept in cool place it would re-
main good for years. The commercial
spple-butter factories provide first ci-
der-min of improved structure and cop
per boilers, with tanks for storage
and additional treatment, all of suffi-
ciegt capacity to work mp 1000 barrels
of fples day. The product is packed
in barrels, when it is ready for ship
ment to any part of the world. and if
properly made, it will keep as well as
-four, pork, or molasses and it is as
much of cash article as either.
