How to Keep Sweet Potatoes.

The question as to size of bins is not 50
particular, as have kept them equally as
we'll from a barrel to 1900 baskets in one
bulk. 1t is necessary that the cellars
should be we'll ventilated, especially from
four to six weeks after storing, while un-
dergoing their sweats, avoiding too much
direct draft. Some varieties are much
harder than others. The Short Nanse-
mond variety is as hardy as any. 1t is
very desirable to keep the cellars at one
temperature. l generally separate my
bins with common inch boards One foot
of air.space between the potatoes and cell
ing is sufficient for the circulation of air.
would recommend that the thermometer
never 60 above seventy, nor below fifty,
degrees; between sixty and seventy de-
grees is the proper heat l built a pre-
serving house, with cellar below and room
above, with bins on each side of the en-
trance to hold from 200 to 400 baskets,
and left space next to the wall to
enable one to go around; the space
to continue up through the floor and
around the upper room, 80 that the heat and
air might circulate from the room below
to the one above. The room above should
be brick-paved and plastered. This build
ing had a wind-break on the north side of
eight feet wide and length of the house.
In cold weather the potato bins should be
tight all round, rest on ground and floor,
with straw under and next to the wall,
with straw around them. For few weeks
after housing let the windows be left open,
with wire screens in them, to protect
against rats and mice. 1t is very impor-
tant that the potatoes to be housed should
be selected from as high ground as posi-.

hoe or pillow. l once put 1000 baskets in
an ice house in one bulk, and as they were

winter with very few decayed ones.-Nep

Liquid Manure for Growing Flowers.

Few things, in the Management of plants,
are more overlooked than that Of applying
liquid manure. When the roots of plants
are confined within a garden pot the soil
soon becomes exhausted; and if it be de-
sirablc to grow the plant rapidly it must
be turned out of the pot and the exhausted
soil shaken from the roots, and replaced
with fresh earth, or recourse must be had
to liquid manures. Floriculturists cannot
be aware of the advantages of applying
manure in liquid state, or it would be
more frequently used. I have found that
all free Towering plants, such as petunias,
geraniums, some of the calceOlarias, bal
sans and cockscombs, are improved, and 8,
indeed, have not found any Towering
plant whatever that has not been benefited
by greater or less quantity of this ele-
ment Many New Holland plants are in
creased in vigor by this treatment; the
epacris, diosma ploygala, and many others,
besides not few of the heaths, are bene-
fitted, when 1t is occasionally applied, as
for instance once every seven or ten
days. In watering plants with liquid ma
nure it will be observed that the soil after
having been watcred few times does not
dry so soon as when watered with clear
water, and this independent of the extra
nutritious qualities left in the soil by the
application of manure water; it is then a
great point gained, by whatever means
effected, when plants, whether in pots or
in the natural soil, can be cultivated with
out the necessity of frequent waterings.
AS there is no, more labor required in
using manure water than in applying the
same quantity of water without the MKT
ure of manure, considering, too, that its
advantages must be obvious to all who
give it a fair trial, it does seem somewhat
unaccountable to see persons eXerting a
labor misapplied when, had half the same
labor and attention been bestowed, using at
the same time liquid manure, far more
taincd.-" Agrycola," in N. 7. Herald.

WHO .KNOWS?

Who knows where pins and needles go,
Where all the buttons stray!
Who knows where all the pennies 20
That somehow get away?
W no knows how all the china breaks
That wasn't touched at all?
How baby got so black a bruisc
And never had fall?
Who knows whence all the fashions come
And where they disappear?
Why one brief month should make fright
OF what was "such dear"
Who knows how little bills can swell
To such prodigious size?
Who knows, indeed, what's going ON
Beneath his very eyes!
Who knows just where her husband goes
When business" keeps him out?
Who knows when best to wear a smile
And when to wear a pout!
Who knows the time to face the fact
That she's no longer young?
Who knows how best to speak her mind
And how to hold her tongue?
Who knows the most convenient day
To bring friend to dine?
Who knows the half of what he spends
On clubs, cigars and wine?
Who knows one bonnet cannot last
woman all her life?
Who knows the woman is the same
When sweetheart turns to wife?
Who knows why all the pretty girls
Are often last TO gos
How all the ugly women wed
Who never had beau?
Why small men fancy wives SO large
And large men fancy smalls
Who knows, in fact, how half the world
Was ever matched at all?
Who knows how far to trust friend,
How far to hate foe?
Just when to speak kindly yes
And when a sturdy no?
Who knows-the grim old Grecian sage

HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

Nice Pudding.-Boil one quart
OF milk; then add three tablespoonfu1s Of
flour, four eggs, six tablespoonfuls of
sugar and little nutmeg. Bake half an
hour. If wanted richer, add raisins.
Stove Cement for the Joints of Iron
Stoves.-Mica, together with finely-sifted
wood ashes, an equal quantity of finely
powdered clay and little salt When re-
quired for use add enough water to make
a stiff paste.
Mrs. N. M. wants to know how
to make Graham gems. I send my
recipe: Two eggs, two cups of buttermilk,
one teaspoonful soda, one tablespoon of
butter or shortening of any kind, little
salt. Mix little thicker than pancake
batter and they are splendid.-Cor. VEST
ere Rural.
DIR. Oliver Holden, of Chicago, sends
the Western Rural the following direc-
tons for treating Group: Take knife or
CRATER and shave or crate off in small
particles about teaspOonful of alum :;
mix it with about twice it's quantity of
sugar to make it palatable and administer
as quickly as possible. Almost instant
relief will be afforded.
Rice and Tomatoes one pint of
rice in three pints of water for half an
hour. Then mix with it one and a half
pints of stewed tomatoes, and cook gently
another half hour, without stirring. This
recipe will answer as we'll with canned to-
matoes as with fresh. When the latter
can be had fully ripe, peel slice and
place in alternate layers with rice in a
porcelain-lined kettle in the proportion of
four or five parts tomatoes to one of rice,
having tomato for the upper and lower
layers, and adding all the juice. Stew
very gently on the stove until the rice is
tender.
We have not this summer heard of
any cases of Texas fever, but the season is
near at hand when the danger may be ap-
pretended. One of the largest ranchmen
in Texas assures us that one quart of sweet
oil and tablespoonful of calomel given to
a beef when first stricken with the disease
is an infallible cure for the fever, and that
he has used this remedy with success for
years. Should anyone be unfortunate
enough to have the disease appear in his
herd this summer or fall, we hope he will
give the above trial and write us the re-
sult.-St. Louis Stock Yards Reporter.
-Whortlcberry-J Pudding.-Look
over carefully and wash one quart of
whortlcberries. Place layer of them on
the bottom of q covered stone jar or earth
ern pipkin. Scatter in clean, dry rice,
not quite enough to cover the whortleber-
ries, and then anotherl layer of whortle-
berries, and so on, putting in one part rice
to four parts whortleberries, with sugar to
swcetcn, if desired. Then cover and set
in the steam or in an oven; fill the fruit
even full of hot water. Do not1 move it
again until the rice is swelled; cook an
hour at least after it begins to boil up, or
until the rice is tender throughout. Set
away to cool in the jar. Serve cold, with
trimming of sweetened cream, if neces-
sary.

over five times as much ground; the paral-
lei holds good in man, but the results are
more serious when the mind partakes of
the excitement of the body. At best,
human energy and force are severely taxed
by existence in a temperature equaling
that of the blood, and, as vital force is
literally the body's only fertilization
against disease, it cannot be too carefully
husbanded.
Doubtless our remarks will suggest
other precautions which are we'll known

Fruit in Ceyl0n.

A Ceylon correspondent of the Boston
Transcript writes: g..
"-All vegetable life seems to flourish
here most iuxuriantly. The cocoa palm
we see everywhere along the coast, and it,
with the bread fruit tree, the yak tree, the
banyah and, now and then, a teak or
cottonwood tree, make up great part of
the woody growth. l forgot to add the
areca palm, from which the betel-nut is
obtained. This is little smaller than the
cocoa palm, but nearly as high and always
perfectly straight The nuts grow in large
punches and are about the size of lemon
before the outside skin is taken off The
bread fruit is about the size of two fists.
1t has q green, rough skin and, when
cooked, tastes like sweet potato, but not
SO sweet. The mango is about the size of
an orange, has a green, thick skin, and
large stone i'll the center. The flowers are
very beautiful and in great variety. The
cocoanut tree seems to be even more
useful to these people than the bamboo
is. to the Japanese. The nut is
used for food and drink, the shells
for dishes. The outside envelope is
put into water and rotted; then aried,
pounded and the strong fiber woven into
ropes and mating. The meat is pressed
for the oil. The leaves of the tree are used
for roofs, fences and to make rough baskets.
The sap affords 'toddy' and sugar. The
wood also serves good purposes. The
palm-leaf is used to protect the cocoanuts
from thieves. 1t isheld vertically against
the trunk and the ends of the Leaflets are
tied together IA the other side of the
trunk. This isdone before the nuts are
ripe. 1t afterward becomes dry, and if
anyone attempts to climb the tree he can
not avoid rafting the crisp leaf, Which
warns the owner. The banana is twelve
or fifteen fset high. 1t bears one bunch
and is then replaced by a new shoot.
Sometimes stone is seen hanging from
the end Of a bunch of bananas, which is
said to draw the sap into them and make
them develop more fully. The pineapples
are not so good as those we had at Singa-
pore, as they grow wid.''z4.

Forging Tools.

A correspondent of the Scientific Ameri-
can, who has had much experience in
forging tools, writes to that paper as fol-
lows:
NV experience has been that no amount
of skill and care in hardening and tenn
pering can make right down good tool
of one not judiclously forged. In forg-
ing bring the steel to mellow heat, and
keep it so until you have your tool forged
to shape. AS the heat declines to black
hot compact your steel by light hammer
ing on the face of the tool, but do not
hammer the tool edgewise Now if the
tool is ready to harden, when it is heated
it will swell so as to loosen up the COM
pacing that was done by light hammering
as it was cooling off. So it follows that
whatever will harden the steel at the least
heat will do it the best.
l use strong cold brine and want it near
the fire, so as to utilize all the heat in
the tool. As soon as the tool is cool l
dip it in oil (sperm or whale oil pre-
ferred). Now hold the tool over we'll
'burntdOwn fire without the wind on.
Hold the tool so as to retain as much of
the oil on it as possible. Now tip it up
slightly so as to make the oil flow from
over the hottest part to the edge. Theloil
becomes carrier of heat, and will help
to let down the temper Exactly alike every
time3 from any thick part to delicate
cutting edge. Think the color that comes
ON the steel under hot oil can be depended
upon much more than without oil, al
though it the color will be little tardy.
In letting down the temper want to do
it slow enough at last so that can lay
down the tool to cool off and not have to
dip it again. But if it is going too slow
I invert it and dip the body part and leave
the edge out. There are very few tools in
which like to leave heat enough in the
body to let down the temper with, for this
reason: as l grind back on the tool the
cutting edge is apt to get little farther
from the outside film of refined steel.
This film is harder than the steel under it,
so l would leave the tool slightly harder a
little way back from the end; whereas, if
you run out heat enough from the body of
the tool you will very soon be at work
with tool altogether too soft.

WHEREVER the pastures Of Western
Missouri have been destroyed by the grass
hoppers newvarieties of grass have sprung
up which the oldest inhabitant never saw
before. The principal of these is a green
bunch grass of luxuriant growth, which
now covers pastures and door-yards
where only blue grass has grown for many
year before Stock eat it with avidity,
and some people contend that it is buffalo
grass, while others sec in it a resemblance
to other grasses of the plains and mount
ain west of u.s. We hope that its devel-
opment will be studied by some expert in
botany of this continent, for its origin may
throw new and important light upon
the origin or migration of the locusts. The
seed was evidently brought here and de-
posted by the swarm that laid eggs in this
region last fall. If brought here from
Kansas and Colorado only, its identity
would surely have been determined ere
this by old plainsmen who are so numer-
Gus hereabout. 1t has put forth no seed
stalk as yet, and perhaps in this climate it
may not go to seed this year.-Kansos

Humboldt adopted the idea that the
principal phenomena of terrestrial mag
netism could be explained by the action
of a powerful Ragaetg Of limited dimen-
sions, near the center of the earth; but it
was found that the theory upon which
this idea depended, though we'll repre-
senting the broad facts of terrestrial mag
netism, failed in accuracy when applied:
in many special eases.
Hansteen suggested the theory of two
large magnets within the earth, but this
failed to meet the facts of observation.
Gauss attempted to explain the cause of
terrestrial magnetism by supposing that
magnets are distributed irregularly through
the earth, and the results Of observations
generally accord with the necessities of.

Five Persons Drowned.

On Saturday, July 8, a large party
from the vicinity of Middle River, Iowa,
went to Greenfield, Adair county, to cele-
brate the Fourth. About dark they
started for home, and, reaching Middle
River, found its banks full. In one of
the wagons were Mn. A. Montgomery,
his wife, daughter, and son ; also Mrs.
Thomas Montgomery and her three chill
dren, and Mr.. J. r. Bates. Mr.. Mont
gomery, who lived just across the stream,
thought it was safe, and concluded to
ford it. They accordingly ventured in,
but the water was so deep that the wagon
box was detached and turned over, and
the occupants were plunged into the
torrent. Mrs. Thomas Montgomery,
with her little babe in her arms, went
under and was not seen afterwards. Nh
Montgomery chung to the horses with a
little boy in his arms, but the horses got
frightened, and he was compelled to let
go and cry for help but no one could
reach him, and he and the little boy went
down also, and were not seen afterward.
In the meantime Mr.. Baker was swim.
ming for the opposite shore. with another
little boy in his farms, but became ex-
hausted and was drowned within four
feet of the bank. Mrs. A. Montgomery
chung to the wagon-box, and was finally
rescued by q man who was standing on
the bank. Miss Ella Montgomery, with
one of the little boys, had got hold of a
seat that foated away from the box, and,
a pole being thrown in, she and the little
boy caught it, and were saved by some
paties who had got to the stream. An.
other, an older boy, swan to the shore,
and was pulled out by his two little
brothers, who had come down to the
bank of the stream. Out of a load of
nine who entered the stream only four
were rescued. Out of Mr.. Montgomery's
family of four but n little child was
saved.
