A Hen CroeodHe.-A female crocodile,
recently shot in Florida, measured ten
feet eight inches in length, and pre-
sented many points of contrast with
the other. Her teeth were regular and
white and sharp. The. mOttled black
and yellow of her back and sides were
distributed evenly, the yellow rather
predominating than Otherwise while
in the case of the male, no part was
yellow except the belly-th sides
shading off into the lusterless black
which covered almost all of the back
and tail. The Ovary of the female con-
tanned four hundred and twenty eggs,
varying in size from No. 8 shot to a
hens egg, and all perfectly spherical.
1t may be added. in passing, that the
female crocodile lays twenty or thirty
eggs at time, which she puts in layers
in a hole in the mud or sand on the
shore, covering each layer with coat
of earth and reeds and grass. She

QUAILs AND CoRN.-The following
slip is cut from paper and sent US by
a correspondent:
A farmer boy in Ohio, recently OBJ
serving small flock of quails in his
fathers corn field, resolved to watch
their motions. They pursued regular
course in their foraging, beginning on
one side of the field, taking about five
rows, and following them uniformly to
the opposite end, returning in the same
manner over the next five rows. They
continued in this course until they had
explored the greater part of the field.
The lad, believing that they were pull
ing up the corn, fired into the flock,
killing but one of them, and examined
the ground. In the whole space which
they had traverscd he found but one
stalk of corn disturbed. This was
nearly scratched out of the ground, but
the earth still adhered to it. In the
crop of the quail he found one cut
worm, twenty-one striped vine bugs,
and one hundred ehinch bugs, but not
a single grain Of corn.

LAND DRAINs.-An excellent subsoil
drain may be made by digging trench
and filling in the bottom with sticks of
wood, compressing them together with
the feet and then covering them with
the mold. The effectiveness of such a
drain will endure for several years and
the final decay Of the wood will serve
to enrich the soil.

The IDEAL DISH Of raw tomatoes Is
thus prepared: Choose only those which
are large, comparatively smooth, arm,
thoroughly red-ripe-it Is an absurdity
to offer small or immature specimens in
a salad, and If you can't find such as
here recommended you must not at
tempt to eat raw tomatoes. Put them
in a tin pan and pour over them boiling
water, pouring It on Immediately. This
so loosens the skins that they can usually
be pulled on easily without any violent
application Of the knife. Then with q
very sharp knife slice them across, dis
carding the first piece, which has the
hard base of the etern, and the last
piece, which Is too small. Make the
slices thin rather than thick, keep them
large and whole, and pile them carefully
in layers in pretty dish, delicately
sprinkling salt and pepper over them.
Then put them away to get thoroughly
cold in your cellar or refrigerator. Pre-
pared thus they are simply ambrosial
and only Pagan could soon them II
anybody wants to add sugar and vinegar
to the seasoning that can be done by
the eater. Slices Of the large yellow
tomatoes scattered among the red sOme-
times make the dish look very tempting.

Less FROM LIGHT SEEDING.-While
walking over newly seeded wheat stub
BILE the other day we noted many strips
or patches where the clover had entirely
missed. As the catch was good on
either side, it was evideut that the strip
had been unseeded, and, as the natural
result, was filling with rag weed, barn
grass and the like. Wherever in the
same field clover covered the ground
like a mat, not weed of any descrip-
ton was visible. Looking on last
years seeding mown this summer, we
found the same result-long strips OF
two to ten or more feet wide through
the field barren of clover or filling up
with blue grass or worthless weeds.
No matter how long the field may re-
main unplowed, these strips will never
become well seeded, and even after
plowing the loss will continue, as there
Is less valuable sod to turn under and
these strips will require more manure
to make them as productive as adjoin-
ing parts of the field. The same result
in less striking form is seen from an
even, though deficient, seeding on the
whole field. The loss from poor seed
ing, either of whole or part of field,
continues with increasing volume for
all subsequent time.
The utmost care should be taken to
have every square foot of ground well
seeded with clover. 1t is far better to
overlay the strips and give some a
double portion than to leave any with
out seeding. When this overlapping
gives the clover a thicker and better
sod it is proof positive that you have
used too little seed on the whole. Some
of the best farmers of our acquaintance
now SOW fully one peck of clover seed
per acre, and would increase the guam
tity if they could thereby secure bet
ter catch. Their clover fields are de-
light to any good farmers eye; the
clover grows so rampant that the pes
tiferous annual weeds which infest
most fields are crowded out. Possibly,
with very favorable seasons, less seed
might suffice, but these cannot be de-
pended upon. There is no loss except
of a little seed in sowing thickly, while
if the season requires it, this thick seed
ing may be worth five to fifteen dollars
per acre more than thin seeding. II
will not do TO depend on plants from
all the clover seed sOwn, and some sea
sons not from half of it, even when per.
fectly good. Some accident, dry week
just as clover is sprouting, may withel
the shoot before its root has struck
down, and only those seeds protected
by small stone, a leaf or a clod, will
escape. 1t is generally better, when q
good seed owner is convenient to divide
the seed into two parts and sow half Of
it early in the spring and the other hall
two or three weeks later. This gives :
double chance for success, besides en-
surfing the covering of all the ground
if done with care. By this plan of dOu
BILE seeding a good catch is almost Ger.
tainty, and where a seed sower is uset
it does not involve much extra trouble

INDIGESTION IN HORsEs.-M. Petty, a
French veterinary surgeon, draws at
tention to the liability of horses and
cattle to suffer from indigestion from
the consumption of forage in a humid
or musty state. 1t is from overfeeding
this complaint is ordinarily produced,
or by the too rapid transition from dry
to unlimited green food. Another very
common cause is the putting of animals
to work Immediately after their feed.
The giving of chaff, and the refuse OF
the threshing machine is also another
principal cause, as well as excessively
cold water, and, above all, allowing the
animal to drink the water of marshes.
A little salt, or handful of meal is ex-
cellent i'm the drinks. Old animals
ought never to be given too much food
at once, and it should ever be mixed
with little straw. When the horse
shows symptoms of indigestion, rest
lessness, suddenly refusing food, rest
ing on one leg, then on another, the
head dropping and seeking the left
flank, its eXcrements either hard or
liquid, etc, an excitant, as three ounces
of kitchen salt or a glass of gin i'm bot
tie of water, will afford relief; or an in
fusion of ehamOmile and sage. In case
pain exists, two spoonfuls of laudanum
will prove excellent. OF course soap
injections, friction and fumigation are
not TO be overlooked. Bleeding in case
of grain indigestion, becomes mortal.

Explosions IN Gxnporder Mills b
Electricity. "A correspondent 70
marked, some time since, that the mys-
terious explosions of some powder
mills may probably be due to an elec-
tric spark given off by persons dressed
in wooden clothing, who, when the air
is dry, may (by friction of their clothing
or feet) produce from their finger ends
a spark of electricity sufficient to ig-
mite a gas jet. He submitted the quee-
ton whether it would not be possible
that men at work in powder mills may
create SO much electricity in their bO-
dies that, when their hands come in
contact with metallic conductors, it
NAV be, If not sufficient to ignite pow
der, enough to ignite some infiAmma-
BILE gas generated from the chemicals.
This letter has drawn the attention
of the London Chemical Rerie,c. which
states that in England they have Of
ten seen in American Journals the
statement that an electric spark, sui
ficient to ignite gas, may be given on
by the human hand; but the editor
saws that he never heard of such cases
on his side of the water. We know
that the air in England and all the
countries of Western Europe is very
damp, owing to the prevailing west
winds and the absence of extensive
areas of dry land, blowing over which
the wind would become very dry, as
our west winds, coming over our prai-
ries. .s..f,- y
1t asked what lnfammable gas may
be generated in the manufacture OF
gunpOwderf To this, it may be an
swered that, in the manufacture OF ful-
inmates for percussion caps, infiamma-
BILE vapOrs, as nitrous ether, etc.. are
given off, while the dust of gunpOwder
and even of charcoal, when floating in
the air in q proper quantity, may form
an explosive mixture. Even the dust
from the mineral grahamite, which in
its character is very similar to gun
powder charcoal, has repeatedly ex-
plOded in the mines in Western Vir-
ginia, when mixed with air in the right
quantity. 1t ia well known among
electricians that weak electric spark
will more easily explode gunpOwder
than strong, intense spark; the lat
ter will scatter heap of gmpOwder
without igniting it. but, whe the spark
is weakened by substituting for part
of the conducting metal a less conduct
ing material, such as water or mols-
tened thread, then ignition will readily
take place.
We acknowledge that we have no
positive evidence that powder mills
have actually been exploded by elec-
tricity: but the possibility of such
a cause was only suggested in our pa
per, and it must be admitted that this
suggestion is not unworthy OF serious
attention.

MICE IN HoTBEDs.-When mice get
into frames, as they often do, they pro-
duce a fearful amount of mischief in a
few days, if not destroyed. This may
easily be done by mixing sugar and but
ter or lard smoothly together, in which
little strychnine is incorporated :
spread this on thin slices of bread, and
cut in small cubes and distribute them
among the plants, and at the same time
place vessels of water in some convent
ent place, where they may drink. Or
if preferred, the phosphorus compound
sold by druggists for this purpose may
be used, but we have always had the best
success with the first named mixture.
In either case care must be taken that
the children do not have access to the
prepared bits of bread.-Canoda Farmer.

Substitutes for Steam.-We know that
the expansion of liquids by heat takes
place with such force that practically
it may be considered irresistible, while
yapors being elastic, any resistance
causes compression. 1t is true that
the expansion of liquid into vapor
causes an expansion many hundred
times equal to the volume of the liquid,
and that the expansion of the liquid it
self by heat is very small but in COM
pensation for this, the force developed
is enormous.
This is now being applied to develop
power, and experiments made In Lon
don, in which either oil or glycerine is
made to perform the functions of steam
by the same means-the applications
OF heat-have excited no small inter
est. The heat expanding the oil placed
in small cylinders, pressure OF 1o,0OO
pounds per square inch NAV be OBJ
tanned without the danger of steam ex-
plosiOns, which latter prevents the use
of a pressure of more than 200 pounds
to the square inch generally. In this
instance an explosion would only crack
the cylinder containing the oil. The
application of this process appears,
from the accounts published, to have
been successfully made to the printing
press and to machines for riveting and
punching, and it is alleged that the va
riety of uses of which it is susceptible
will be found very great.
1t is known that the rapid motion OF
steam piston may, by gearing and
betting, be made to produce a very
slow but powerful motion over very
small space, and is able to pinch and
cut iron plates otherwise requiring tons
of pressure to penetrate, and it is equal
ly evident that this operation may be
inverted, and that slow and very
powerful motion over q small space
(as is obtained during the expansion Ol
liquids by heat may, by gearing and
betting. be made to produce as rapid 9
motion as Is obtained by any steam
