Close Relations BetUeen Light and
Observation-Disclosures has expert
mentally confirmed the theory that
light and electricity are only different
forms of motion of one and the same
medium, by showing that from 1t there
should result a certain relation between
the refractive power of substance and
its dielectric properties, relation con-
firmed by observation. A further con-
tirmation of the same theory has also
been lately published by Boltzmann,
based on investigations into the beha-
vior of non-ccnducting bodies under
the influence of electric forces. He
says that, according to Maxwell's the
ory, the constant of q: electricity for
non-isOtropic crystalliZed bodies must
depend upon the direction in which the
electric forces act upon it, varying In
IA manner such as can be- predicated
from the optical properties of the body.
The only double refracting crystals
that are appropriate to the lnvestlga-
ton are those of sulphur. Two spheres
cut from crystals of sulphur, whose OPP
tical axes had been previously deter
mined, were experimental with by al
lowing the electricity to act in various
directions In reference to the optical
axes. In this manner the magnetic
axes, as they may be called, were de-
termined, and were shown to agree
with the optical axes, and the same re-
suits being arrived at from both
spheres, he concludes that these obser-
vations not only confirm Maxwelfs
theory as to the nature of electricity,
but also definitely decide that the Vi
bratious of ether forming light are
perpendicular to the plane of polariza-
ton

ADVANTAGES OF DRAINAGE.-What
are the effects of drainage? Thorough
drainage deepens the soil. of what use
is it to plow deep and manure heavy
while the soil is full of water? The
roots of plants will not go down into
stagnant water; the elements of plant
food are not all on the surface; many
of them have been washed down by the
rains; some of them are found in the
decomposing rocks themselves. Take
away the water and the roots Will find
them.
Drainage lengthens the seasons. In
our climate this is an important point
to be gained. If by drainage, one or
two weeks can be gained, il would be
quite a relief in our backward Springs,
when there is so much to be done in so
short space of time.
Drainage increases the effect of the
application of manure; the soil is much
drier, is more easily worked fine; the
manure is more easily distributed. The
water also passing through the soil,
carries fertiliZing matter down TO the
roots of the plants. When there is
stagnant water, manure must decOm-
pose slowly, if at all; but let the water
pass OFF. the air is admitted, and de-
composition takes place.
What observing man is there who
does not know that his crops are i'm
proved in quality by drainage? Sweet
English grass and clover take the place
of sedge and rushes.-WdSS. PLOtoDidH.

Do You TRAIN Your TOMATOES ?-Of
course no gardener would ever think of
trellising an acre of tomatoes, but we do
not know of any little thing that pays
better in private gardens than that of
giving the tomato vines some kind OF
support. 1t makes but little practical
difference what particular support is
used, anything that will keep them from
sprawling out of bounds and looking
slovenly, that will keep the plant up,
where one can see how to trim out
superfluous growth is great comfort.
Besides these advantages, the fruit is
less liable to rot, is in sight where mall
formed specimens can be cut out, and
is always clean. Another consideration
is the greater ease in "worming" or
killing the voracious green caterpillar !;
indeed if treliis of some kind is once
used, one will always be used there
after. Our object is to remind the
reader to have something in readiness.
Set the trellis before the plants are put
out, and begin to train il early. just
here we would remind those who like
to amuse themselves in the garden, that
a tomato vine with a good Bit of manure
at its roots, and trained against barn,
shed, or other building, by means of
loops of strong cloth and tacks, will
make a display that will astOnish those
who have never seen tomato thus
treated, not only in the quantity of fruit,
but the exceeding beauty of the whole
plant.

SCIENTIFIC

The Jute Industry.-It is only within
a comparatively recent period that jute
has been commercially known In this
country or in England, and that, too
only in the humble character of gunny-
bags, a coarse kind of cloth used chief
ly as covering for cotton, also for car
rying rice and the ruder grades of su-
gar.
The wide dissemination of these
gunny-bags began, finally, to attract
attention to the material from which
they were made. This proved to be
the fibrous portion of the inner bark
of a plant growing in great abundance
In portions of India. The fibre, which
possesses great tenacity, is not uncOm-
monty obtained as much as twelve feet
long, and iute fiber has now become an
important industrial article in this and
other countries, although its introduc-
ticn for the purposes of spinning and
weaving dates but few years, so fal
as any considerable use of the sub
stance in this way is concerned.
On its first being employed as tex.
tile, the great length of its fiber and
its tenacity led to the impression tha,
it would prove highly valuable in the
manufacture of cOrdage. Experience,
however, showed that exposure to wet,
or even moisture. seriously injured Its
quality and rendered it peculiarly un-
fitted for rope-work, Notwithstanding
the various means resOrted to In order
to overcome that difficulty.
Jute is also found peculiarly sensi-
tive to dyes of most kinds, and pre-
sents brilliancy of hue scarcely sur
passed by silk. Consequent on this
suspicious have been entertained in
some quarters that jute is used to a
considerable extent in the adulteratiOn
of silken fabrics. As is well known
too, the finer qualities of the material
have for years past been largely EN-
ployed in the manufacture of imitation
hair for head-wear.

WHEN young Hopeful entered Harvard
college, he wrote to his parents that he
must have a study-table. 1t was given.
When the parent visited the room, a
year afterward, he inspected the table.
There were marks as if of tumblers.
He simply said: 81 judge, my boy, that
your rank in your class will not be very
high" "Why, father, how can you
tell?" "The carpet under the table is
not worn at all, but the covering is a
good deal defaced." The old gentleman

CARBoLIC ACID is being used in Eng
land as preventive and cure for the
cattle disease. An Essex farmer in
forms the London Tunes that he had
used carbolic acid freely; and that out

lost one. But the disease, at last ac-
counts, was happily disappearing, and

PRESERVING THE FLAVOR OF APPLES.
Apples ought to have as sweet an air
in their winter home as any other kind
of food. They take in, very readily,
the musty Odors of close, moist cellars,
that are little better than vegetable pits
and the difference between a crisp high
favored apple. and one that is flabby
and poor, is often simply the difference
in the storage which they have had.
This fruit needs gentle handling, a cool
dry room, just safely above the freez-
ing point, and removing from all rank
vegetables or unpleasant odors.

IMPROVEMENT OF CLAYEY SoILs.-One
of the principle defects of clayey soils,
especially where they rest upon a SUBJ
soil of the same nature, is the excess of
water which is held in them. The only
effectual way in a majority of cases, to
get rid of this is by thorough under
draining.
This draws off by imperceptible de-
grees, all the excess of wa er, and opens
the soil to free admission of air, which
in its passage through it imparts warmth
and such fertilizing gases as it may
contain; open drains and bitches,
though less effectual, are useful. In
some cases. water burrows, terminating
in some ravine or ditch, serve good
purpose.

NEW FooD FOR HORSES ANB SHEEP
4 favorite and rather new kind of mash
for horses is coming into use, composed
of two quarts of oats, one of bran and
half pint of flaXseed. The oats are
first placed in the stable bucket, over
which is placed the linseed; add boil
ing water, then the bran, covering the
mixture with an old rug and allowing
it to thus rest for five hours; then stir
the mass up
The bran absorbs while retaining the
vapor, and the linseed binds the oats
and bran together. A greater quantity
of fiaxseed would make the preparation
too oily and less relished. One feed
per day is sufficient. 1t is easily digested
and is especially adapted to young ami
mails, adding to their volume rather
than to their height-giving substance
to the frame. Prof Samson reminds us
not TO overlook the food in the nourish-
ment question in connection with the
amelioratioH of live stock. He consid-
ers oats as so generally given to sheep,
as Objectionable. Rams generally re-
ceive one pound of oats daily, ewes
half that quantity. Oats, forming an
exciting food are especially suited for
rams during the season when they
serve; but for fastening the develop
ment of young sheep they only build
up the bones, not the flesh.

SAKE AND WHIPPLE.-The Brooklyn

present as honorary guests. In the
midst of a somewhat desultory CONVEX
sation between the two, Whipple ex-
claimed:
go, don't mind what SAKE says about
that; he was tipsy on that occasion.
''And in what condition were you ?''
required the poet.
"SOber-perfectly sober" was the
prompt and seemingly safe reply.
"Genulemen!" said Sake, rising to
his feet, glass in hand-''Gentlemen

Cows.

would say that, until five or six

About that tine my attention was
called 10 the fact that once week
for a couple Of days after sailing
there was an increase in the quanti-
IS OF milk. Acting on this sugges-
ton, tried sailing twice week,
and found q decided improvement.
then thought that iftwice week
was good, perhaps every other day
would be better. Here, again, my
attention WAS called to the fact that
on the days they were sailed they
gave more than on the other days.

that 1t had tendency TO shrink the
