PorAro ExPERMENT.-Ata a meeting
of the Experimental Farm Club, Thos.
NJ. Harvey exhibited sample of pota
toes obtained by inserting an eye from
one kind or variety into cutting from
another. An eye from Buckeye (white)
was carefully inserted or budded into a
cutting from a Shakers seeding (red).
All the natural eyes of the seeding
were, of course, removed, and not al
lowed to grow, except the monitor eye.
The result was hill of potatoes of a
mixed color, with some of the charac-
teristics of both potatoes, some of which
are now on our desk.-Jomnai OF the

EARLY RIPEyING PEACHES. peach
season seems gradually being heightened
out by the introduction of early and late
varieties, unless it extends over nearly
double the time it did thirty years ago.
The latest addition seems to be the
Early Beatrice, which it is claimed will
ripen two weeks in advance of Hale's
Early, which has hitherto held the palm
for earliness. At the opposite end of
the list we have the Snock, which is
often caught by frost, so that we can
scarcely go further in that direction,
and hence producers of new varieties
are compelled to direct their whole
attention to early kinds.
As usual, it is claimed that the Bea-
trice is free from rot, carries well and
will bring a good price. 1t originated
in the neighborhood of New Castle,
Delaware.

PEANUT CULTURE.-Peanuts require
very similar cultivation to beans. .Ebe
ground requires to be well plowed and
narrowed, and either thrown up into
ridges or furrowed into check rows. The
drills may be 81 to y inches apart, and
the seed may be dropped Is inches apart
in 1.-THE rows. Two nuts should be dropped
in each place. These must be carefully
shelled by hand. without breaking the
skin. The cultivation consists in plow-
ing the rows, and throwing earth up to
the plants rs they grow, and keeping
them free from weeds. When they
begin to blossom cultivation must b.
discontinued. and wedding be done by
hand. The plants then strike into the
soil to seed, and the soil must previously
be kept loose and mellow to facilitate
this process. When ripe the sides of
the rows are split with the pillow, and
the nuts pulled up by hand, and left to
dry upon the ground.

TUNNELS. = The completion of the
Hoosac uunnell and the rapid progress
of the Sutro have caused the miners
both in the East and in the West to
look with interest upon what has been
and is projected in connection with
tunnel driving. 1t is in Germany, says
the Mining Journal, that the great
tunnels have been constructed, and
these have been made exclusively for
mining. There is the great tunnel at
Freiberg, twenty-four miles long the

thai, thirteen and half and ten and
three quarters miles respectively I; the
Joseph III. at Schemnitz, nine and a
quarter miles; the Rotschonberg at
Freiberg, eight miles the Mont Gents,
seven and a half miles, which about
completes the European list. In the
United States We have the Hoosac, in
Massachusetts, five miles long; the
Sutro, in Nevada, for opening up the
celebrated Comstock lode: this tunnel,
although only four miles long, will,
with its ramIications to the various
mines of the district, prove one of the
most important in America the Sierra
Madre tunnel at Black Hawk, com
menced during the present year, and
which will be twelve miles long, as we'll
as San Carlos and Union Pacific tun-
nels, which are nnder two and a half
miles. The Ernst-August tunnel was
driven at the rate of mile per annum,
and it will be interesting to notice how
long it will take the Americans, with all
the approved appliances at present at
command, to complete the nearly sim
liar Sierra Madre tunnel.

IsFLuEScK OF FORESTS ON CLIMATE
Fer ages there has been popular belief
that, in some way or another, there Is .
relation between forests and climate.
That there is local influence no one
doubts. A farm surrounded by ever
green trees, or even with woods OF
deciduous trees, will be warmer in
winter time than one entirely unshel-
tered. But that there is general and
widespread influence affecting the guam
tity of rain, or the distribution OF the
rainfall, is by no means certain. Many
facts have been collected together bear
ing on the subject by intelligent men,
especially by the Hon. Geo. p. Marsh !;
but the facts given in this book, as well
as in all, are just as strongly in favor OF
no influence as in favor of the influence
claimed. One cannot say that there Is
no influence, only that SO far the facts
do not prove it.
Even at headquarters" there does
not seem to be any full faith in the So
called facts favoring this forest infiu-
ence, and calls are made on the Govern
ment to study the matter over again.
The following is the proposition re-
Gently made, and it appears to be one
the country might favor: "a system
of international observations is indis-
pensable for the solution of questions
which have for their object the influence
of forests upon climate, the quantity OF
rainfall, the extent of floods, the supply
of springs, &c. It is the more impor-
tant to begin these international studies,
because upon them depends the final
solution of the question as to the pre-
servation of the forests.

CARpfrs.Hou sR-CLlANrso.-Now that
spring has arrived, and busy house
wives are overwhelmed with the cares
of house cleaning, Q few hints may be
sppreciable. In taking up your carpets,
it is well to rip the centre seam. The
carpet may be better shaken in two
pieces then turn the outer edge in
ward, sew it carefully, and il necessary,
tack q border over the outer edges. A
well-worn carpet may be made to look
almost new by this process. simply by
a little ingenuity. Tea grounds, soaked
in alum-vater, are invaluable in clean.
ing carpets with . large proportion OF
green in the pattern. They should be
sprinkled over the floor, and allowed to
lie for time, then swept up carefully.
The carpet. after long service, will look
quite fresh and new after this process.
Oxgall too is q specific in the cleansing
process. By throwing . little into the
soapsuds q carpet may be secured on
the floor to look fresh and new. In
house-cleaning, system should be OBJ
served. Begin at the garret and go
downward. Take . room at time and
leave behind the trace OF perfect order
in each. 1t is not necessary to create q
bedlam or chaos in order that peace
may follow.-Even regeneration, as ap-
piled TO things inanimate, may be taken
in broken doses oreeffectively. Closets
and dark corners first arranged, the rest
is easy. The secret lies in being COM
plete mistress Of the situation, knowing
what to do and just how to do it.
ARRANGEMENT OF RooMs - Give
your apartments expression-charscter.
Rooms which mean nothing are cheer
less, indeed. Study light and shade.
and the combination and arrangement
OF drapery, furniture, and pictures.
Allow nothing to look isolated, but let
everything present an air of sociability.
Observe q room Immediately after q
number have left it, and then, as you
arrange the furniture, disturb as little
as possible the relative position oi
chairs, ottomans, and sofas. Place two
or three chairs in . conversational atti.
tude in some CHEEKY corner, an ottoman
within easy distance of q sofa, q chail
near your stand of stereoscoplc views
or engravings, and one where good
light will fall ON the book which you
may reach from the table near. Make
little studies of effect which shall repay
the more than the casual observer, and
do not leave it possible for one to make
the criticism which applies to 30 many
homes, even of wealth and elegance
''fine carpets, handsome furniture, g
few pictures, and elegant nothings-
but how drearyl" The chilling atmos
phere is felt at once, and We cannot
divest ourselves of the idea that We
must maintain q stiff and severe de
meanor, to accord with the spirit of the
place. Make your homes, then, &c
cheerful that, If we visit you, We may
be joyous and unconstrained, and moi
feel ourselves out of harmony with oul
surroundings.-Art Rcvie,p.

FEEDING STOCK WITH PROFIT - In
theory a fattening animal cannot be
overfed but in practice the limit of
excessive feeding is fixed by the animals S
powers of assimilation The feeder
must consider various circumstances,
such as the quality of the food-for if
it be rich and lavishly used large
quantity will be elected in an undigested
state-the state of the animal, his age
and condition. Lean animals, for ex-
ample, are unable to appropriate an
enormous amount of highly nutritious
food, and they are liable to very much
upset if they are fed too fast until they
have begun to move in the right direc-
ton. They should be kept on cheap
and bulky food till their powers OF
assimilation have improved with their
condition, when they should be pushed
on more rapidly.
The art of fattening depends on sup
plying an excess of food judiciously.
a mature animal needs q certain amount
of food to maintain him in store condi-
ton, and the greater the amount he can
be induced to take over and above this
fixed quantity the faster will the process
of fattening proceed and the smaller
will be the waste OF that portion of food
which goes merely to maintain life and
which must, therefore, be lost, in a
sense. to the feeder,
