} A NEW DISCOVERY IN AGRICULTURE
/ a French paper, La Bjen PUbiqtfe. says a
discovery curious enough has lately sbeen
made. An agriculturist observed that by
watering vegetables and fruit trees with =
solution of suiphate of iron the most aston
fishing result were obtained. Beans gained
! 80 per cent on their ordinary size, and what
is better their taste is moro savory. Among
fruit trees, the pear is most benefited by this
process of watering.-FrOn1 the ChdutdqAd
/ Farmer of,JLEly 19, 1873.
After reading the above, purchased lbs.
sulphate of iron; took two common pork
barrels; divided the iron and put half in
each barrel, and filled with water. When
( washing days came the suds were thrown
into the barrels, making the mixture black
as ink. This was late-July oath Ofcourss
| hadn't it in season to water early beans,
but l commenced watering half of patch No.
l, butter-bush beans. j had picked them
twice and taken TO market Did not expect
to get any more. | watered them with the
above solution three or four times; they blos-
/ someu again, and had three better piCklngS
than the first. No. 2, Lima beans-watsred
as above, and the yield was astonishing;
| vines loaded, breaking down the poles yet
kept picking and sending them TO market.
They kept green and good, and took good
sheled green Lima beans to market the hrst
! day of November, while those not watered,
of both kinds, were all dried up.
Now, try the above if you like. But if
any of you have pear tree, or trees, try IT,
ana IL YOU uOH Iell mt heAI l''1A til''I you
never saw or ate such delicious pears III your
I life, shall be disappointed with your sue
cess. BY watering mine last year those who
ate of them said so.
What about radishes? ? I sowed second
crop September 10th-12 rows, twelve feet
long. AS soon up-say two inches-l
watered six rows with the above solution.
In ten days there was marked difference:
looked green and better every way. Result
-25th of October had good sized radishes
TO take to market. The other six rows did
not come fit for market. One strange fea-
ture is this: What were not taken to market
were left in the ground, and the rows that
were watered retained their full shape and
size, although they had been frozen. In un-
| seen, nor sign of one.
/ shall use this mi xture very eXten Siyely
this year. L think it pays 80 per cent

GOOD AND BAD RoADs.-We are all
grumbliug about our roads and our survey
Ors. The roads are miserable, and our Sys-
tenn of making and repairing them is miser-
able, too, but we do not realize how much
are losing by continuing to use them in
their present condition. The annual expense
for wear and tear of horses, carriages and
harness is enormous, but the loss from car
rying only half the load we might, on smooth
hard and level roads, is very much greater.
SuppOsing horse can pull on a level road
1000 pounds, on a road rising one foot to tho
hundred, lie could pull but 800 pounds If
it rises two feet in = hundred SO pounds
two and a half feet 72o pounds, four feet $50
pounds, five feet 400 pounds, and if the rise
were ten feet In hundred, he could pull
25O pounds, or only one-Quarter the load he
could draw on q level road. Then, again,
the condition of road, whether hard and
smooth, or soft and uneven, has much to do
with the amount team can draw over it.
Experiment made by NORM show that 4
load of 9, 600 pounds, will require tractive
force OF / 600 pounds to move 1t over 2 firm,
gravel road, newly repaired. On the best
kind of gravel road, $40 pounds. On broken
stone road in good condition, 1867 pounds;
on good pavement, 1887 pounds. Accord
ing to the above calculation, in the first ca Sc
it would require eight horses to do the work
which ono could do in the latter case. So
both roads were level, and we have 200 bush
els OF potatoes to carry to market we could
draw them on the best paved road with one
horse, while on the newly repaired gravel
road we should need eight horses, and if the
rise were ten feet in a hundred we should
require 81 horses to draw the same load.
If these calculations are correct nand we
think they are, who can calculate the annual
loss to our country from poor roads? md
who can doubt that if all this wasted energy
and power could be applied to the making
and repairing of our highways in the best
manner known, we should, in a few years,
be able to place them on a par with those of
the older European nations.

The Department Of tue Eure-et~Loira, Ia
FraDco, does not possess reputation which
would commend it to lovers Of peace and
morality NJ residouce. It ia wealthy, and its
villageB are among tho most prosperous in tue
country. The crimes for Which 1t La diStln-
guiAhod arc not the violouco produced by want.
THO department il the baby-farm OF France.
and, as QUO Mayor Of the department. remarked,
"Our cemeteries aro paved with little Paris
ia,,s" Among tho baby-farncrs OF the depart
uout was woman named plas, who lived with
q uo1, aud daughter in the Village OF Faylolles.
Her reputation even In tho viIIago WAS unsayo-
ry, for eho bud contributed largely to tho mosaic
Of tho cemetery. By gonoral good management
sbe had secured comfortable litt'o fortune in
the course Of her labors as an tangel~maker,"
and being quite young woman, promised to
live long aud enjoy it. Hor aon aud daughter,
howo7cr, decluod to wait uutil tue business
with its perquIstos, fell naturally into their
hands, and deliberately determined to commence
a1,ge~makug" On their Own account With
thoir mother. Having vainly ondoavored to dis
Patch hor with mixture Of match-hsads aud
brandy. they wero compelled to resort to heroic
measures. Tho sou placed a cord around hia
sleeping motber'a neck, and, with the aid Of lis
sister. drew 1t tight enough to quiet lho widow.
OF course, thoy wero convicted, but 1t was i'm
possible to get q jury In that ne'ghborhood to
look at tue matter in serious light. The girl
was roeasod, aMd her brother aoateuccd to i'm
priHonment with hard labor. The moral effoots
OF baby-farmlng cannot be rogatdod AZ really
ennobhng or profitable.
