Strength Of Metals, Woods, Etc.

1t is a remarkable provision Of Ma
ture that iron which is the most alb
undant yielded by the earth, is also
the strongest of all know substances.
Made into the best steel, a rod one
fourth of an inch in diameter will
sustain 5000 pounds before breaking;
made into soft steel, u rod of the
same dimensions will sustain 1000
pounds; into iron wire, 5000; wrought
1000; inferior bar-iron, 1000; and
cast iron 1000 to 5000. A bar of
copper wire of the same size will sus-
tain 5000 pounds; of silver, 1000;
gold, $500; tin, 800; cast zinc, 100;
cast lead, so; and milled lead, 200.
OF wood, bar of box and locust of
equal sixe will sustain 1900 pounds;
of toughest ash, 1000 pounds; elm,
500; beech, cedar, white oak, pitch
pine, 600; chestnut and maple, 600;
and poplar, 400. Wood which will
bear heavy weight for minute or
two will break with two-thirds the
force acting long time. A rod of
iron is about ten times as strong as
hemp cord. A rope an inch in
diameter will bear about q tons, but
in practice 1t is not safe to subject it
to strain of more than about ton.
Decrease the rope in diameter one
half, and its strength will decrease
three-fourths. Thus rope half an
inch in diameter will sustain one
fourth as much as rope an inch in
diameter.

Care OF the Ear.

The Scientific Americau thinks
that the ear is quite as liable to inju-
ny from drafts of air as from cold
water. The modern style Of cutting
the hair in men and of arranging the
hair of women is much to be depre-
Gated, because it was intended by ma
tnre that the hair should fall over the
ear and form thus protection to it.
But as we cannot throw down so
great goddess as fashion, we must
use care and artificial means for the
preservation of this delicate organ.
If sitting in draft is unavoidable,
the handkerchief should be applied
to the ear exposed or pledget of
cotton inserted within it. The ordi-
nary manner Of washing the face
does no harm to the ear, because the
canal leading to the drum of the ear
is partially protected by wax, and
water does not penetrate far; but all
the swabbing of the ear, whether
with dry cloth or lint moistened with
hot or cold water, or other fluid, is
by no means to be advised, as it re-
moves the wax, the necessary safe
guard to the internal ear.

Raising Cheap Early Potatoes.

The early potato crop, SO easily
managed and always in demand, has
long been favorite with me, and l
cannot recollect Of ever suffering a
loss by it. In our market crop our
method is such an economical and
successful one that | wish to call the
attention of my friends to it.
We use any land in good condition,
but of course prefer cool soil which
will suffer least in drought, and yet
uot be wet. As with all garden land
this is plowed in the fall, and manure
broadcast in late fall or win
ter unless the land be so descending
as to carry away the virtue Of the ma
nure in surface draining, in which

Value Of Evergreen Trees among
Fruit Trees.

A well grown evergreen tree gives
off continually an exodium of warmth
and moisture that reaches q distance
of its area in height; and when the
tree planters advocate shelter belts,
surrounding tract of orchard of fit:
ty or more acres, when the influence
of such belts can only reach dis
lance of the height of the trees in
said belt, they do that which will
prove of little value. TO amcliorate
climate, to assist in prevention of in
jury against extreme climatic cold in
winter and the frosting of the germ
buds Of the fruit in the spring, all
orchards should have planted, in and
among them indiscriminately, ever
green trees at distances each of not
more than $50 feet apart. Such a
course pursued, we have no doubt
will render greater health to the trees,
and be productive of more regular
and uniform crops of fruit. At all
events, it is worth trial, and we shall
be glad if our readers can inform lis
of any practical experiments on the
subject.

WHITE Corn DoDGERs.-T one
pint OF southern corn meal, and turn
over it one pint of boiling water, add
little salt, and one egg well beaten
up and stirred into the batter when
nearly cold. Butter some sheets Of
tin, and drop your cakes by the table
spoonful over the pan. Bake for
twenty-five minutes in hot oven.
CoRNEp BEEF. - The Scientific
IWcrtcun informs the ladies that if
they would have corncd beef juicy
after it is cold, and not as dry as a
chip, they should put it into boiling
water when they put it on to cook,
and they should not take it out of the
pot when done until cold.
Poor MANS PUDDING.-One cup
of molasscs, one cup of water, one
cup of chopped suct, one cup of RUS
ms, one tcaspoontul Of salcratus, Il
little salt, flour enough to make a stiff
batter; tie up in Il cloth, put into boil
ing water, boil two hours. Use wine
or brandy sauce.
RAW BEEF it is asserted, proves of
the greatest benefit as diet for per-
sons of frail constitutions. 1t is re-
ported that physicians are now adj
mlnlstcring to consumptivcs diet of
tinely-chopped raw beef, properly
seasoned with salt, and heated bv
placing the dish containing it in boil
ING water. This food is given also
in cases where the stomach elects al
most every other form of food. 1t
assimilatcs rapidly and affords the
best nourishment, while patients learn
to long for it and to like it as much
us DIR. Kane did his Arctic dinner Of
raw seal and walrus.
Observation-Disclosures should be
kept carefully from the air, and in II
very dry place. Unless they have a
very small proportion of sugar, Il
warm one does not hurt them; bat
when not properly boiled, heat makes
them ferment, and damp causes them
to grow mouldy. They should be
looked at two or three times in the
first two months, that they may be
gently boiled again if not likely to
keep. Paste the edge of the outer
paper, as it keeps out the air better
than string; put writing paper over
the fruit.

Needs of Farmers.

What are stated in the following
as the needs of Minnesota farmers,
may as well apply to Iowa farmers:
What are the needs of Minnesota
farmers? One of them is n more di-
versitied system of agriculture
Why?
|. Because, under the present
system, the market is ovcr-stocked
with some products and the price is
correspondingly low, while right here
at our own doors, other farm products
bring as much as in New York City
a greater centre Of consumption
and export. Diversity of cropping
tends to equalize prices.
2. Because, diversity Of cropping
means rotation, and under system
of rotation, larger crops can be pro-
duced each year, and the fertility of
the soil will last longer than when
the same crop is sown year after
year.
3. Because it is safer He who
stakes all upon single crop merely
buys a ticket in good lottery. If
everything proves favorable he gets
a good thing and large sum Of
money all at once. But if the crop
proves poor one, he is in a cores
pondingly bad condition.
4. 1t distributes the labor, and
the cash receipts also, more equally
through the year. Under judicious
system, the farmer will first SOW his
wheat and then follow with oats,
barley, potatoes, roots, corn, beans,
&c. He may get returns for wheat,
barley and oats in August. For po-
tatoes and beans in September and
October. His hay, corn and root
crops will make the wool to sell in
June, the pork to sell in November,
the pork to sell at the holidays, beef
or mutton to sell in March or April,
and butter and eggs to sell almost
the year round. These little bills
can be paid as they become due, and
the long credit discontinued.
5. Another advantage will arise
from fewer purchases at the grocery
and greater variety in the home fare.

Discriminating Burrowing Animals.

Mr.. Lysander Collins, of Alma,
California, has recently invented a
novel plan for Kidding fields of bur-
rowing animals, which may be easily
practised by any farmer. The inven-
ton is simply cartridge of suitable
size, filled with a slowly burning
mixture Of blasting powder and sui
phur, and provided with a fuse ex-
tending from the point along the
body of the cartridge and terminal
ing rearward.
The charge is pushed into the orr
fee of the burrow and the fuse ignit-
ed. A slow burning of the mass
without explosion is thus caused, and
the deadly sulphurous fumes are
driven down into every recess of the
excavation, and thus, the animals
within are quickly suffocated. The
compound for filing the cartridge is
made by moistening the powder to a
thick paste and adding one pound of
sulphur to four pounds of powder.

Stray Law.

Below will be found an abstract of
the law concerning strays:
"Animals that show that they have
been worked may be taken up at any
time, and other animals may be taken
up only from November l to May L.
TO keep up a stray q person must be
a householder and find the animal on
his premises, but if he find the ami
nal on the premises of another per-
son in the same township he may
give such person ten days written
notice, and if such person does not
take up the stray the first party may
proceed as if the animal had been on
his own premises. In five days after
taking up a stray, notice with full de-
scription of the animal must be pos
ted up in three public places in the
township, and if the owner does not
appear the person taking up the
same must go before Justice of the
Peace and give description of the
animal and also swear that no marks
or brands have been changed to his
knowledge. The Justice will then
appoint three appraisers and if it is
valued at ten dollars or more the de-
scription will be sent by the Justice
to the County Auditor and notice
Of it will be published three weeks in
some newspaper in the county and
also in 4 paper published by the State
Printer. If the stray is valued at
less than five dollars the title rests in
the finder at the end Of six months,
if more than five and less than ten, at
the end of nine months, and if it is
valued at more than ten, at the close
of one year. If any person takes up
a stray and does not post the notices
or appear before Justice according
to the law he is subject to fine Of
twenty dollars and costs and the own
er of the stock may collect double the
damage.

case we apply it in spring. using

case we apply it in spring, using
twenty or thirty two-horse loads per
acre. As soon as the ground can be
worked, blowing is begun by man
who can always lay a straight fur
row, marking out three lands to be-
gin with, SO as to pass from one to
the other as seon as he shall have
plowed three burrows. A boy follows
with the seed, and in every third fur
row sticks II piece, with two eyes, on
the soft side, about midway from top
to bottom. The next furrow covers
it 80 that it has soft earth upon all
sides of it, and no tramping of any
of the soil. | know Of no way Of
planting which leaves the soil and
seed in such fine shape. Atterward
the ground is gone over with the back
of the harrow so all may certainly be
covered, and the ground made
smooth. AS soon as even the small
est weed is seen the narrowing is re-
peated, and again us the potatoes
come up. Even at two inches high
the sprouts are not hurt Gf you don't
believe it try it), and the ground is
kept clean until ready for the corn
pillow, when Il little killing each time
covers the weeds. Some of my best
crops have never had hoe put to
them. But cultivation | keep up us
long as can get through the rows,
and find much more good than harm
in it.
When ready to dig we pull the
tops, split the hills with the plow and
pick up; then work the row with the
one-horse double-shovel corn pillow
and pick up; then harrow and pick
up. When blowing for second crop
if any are noticed, boy follows and
picks up But this is rarely nee
essary.
Tended i'll this way the crop costs
me from $40 to $24 per acre, and re-
turns me from 500 to 1925, perhaps
an average of $50. The land is then
sowed to flat turnips, which some
seasons yield as much as the first
crop. We sometimes SOW it to mar
rowfat or field peas, which we turn
under for green manure early in No
vember, or to rye, which we turn I'M
der next May. Few crops pay bet
ter return for the labor and capital
invested, and none leave the ground
in better shape for garden crops.

CANTON, Miss, March 26, 1873
l.. NJ. Garrett, Esq, Editor Car
thaglnian, Carthage, Mi-s.-My Dear
Sir: | must thank you for tho com
plcment in your iesuc of the 21st
INST, wherein you announce me as
your choice tor ~ Conservative
nomination for Congress.
The remote possibility of my being
thought of by any one in this con
nection had not occurred to me,
and the fiattcring terms of your
| mention flow more, doubtless. from
the Partially of lifelong friend
ship than from any merit of my
own.
To the concluding paragraph of
your notice l must reply that |
should be compelled to decline
the nomination if rendered. The
condition of my private affairs would
not justify mo in making the can
vasS, or in holding the office if elect
ed. Moreover though deeply in
tercsted in public affairs, il l., only
as citizen desiring the happiness
and prosperity Of our whole people,
and have no aspirations for politi-
cal preierment.
The great need of Mississippi is
that her people should Withdraw
acrImony from partisan discussion,
that her parties should be arrayed
by principles and not OH lines mark
ed by distinctions of race or color,
and that private greed and mere
personal ambition should be Danish
ed from the hearts of those of her
sons who seek the honors she can
give. This done and presently states
manship and integrity will control
her councils, and her population
will soon be happy and thriving, as
the result of well regulated finances
and an able and honest a,tmInistra-
ton of her government.
Resolved TO do, in pr1rdte station
whatever | can do towards the great
object of pure government, leave
it TO ADLER men to contend for the
honors of public Office.
Very respectfully, Your friend,
S. S. CALuooN.
