PURE WATER FoR SToCK.-While
every man owning or keeping animals
recognizes the importance of providing
them with plentiful supply of water,
there are many who pay little attention
to its purity, A pond or stagnant pool
which receives the drainage or surface
water from the higher surrounding fields
is far too frequently considered good
enough for farm stock. In some in
stances it is good and pure enough, es-
pecially if the pond is of extended area
and deep, and at the same time receives
constant additions from subterranean
springs. But we have seen hundreds of
such reservoirs which were little better
than mud-holes during the greater part
of the summer, being filthy in the ex-
treme, and the water warm and alive
with animalcules and low fungOid spe-
cies of plants; but they served to supply
a liquid with which many a noble ami
NAL was compelled to quench its thirst.
is it any wonder that stock drinking
from such ponds should be affected with
various kinds of fevers, or that conta-
gious diseases should be generated in
these pools of filth?
We are well aware how difficult it is
to find pure water by digging wells, es-
pecially On some of the prairies and
higher plains of the West, and that even
TO depend upon some of the larger creeks
and rivers for supply of pure water IS
little better than to use the kind of
ponds we have described. But it is not
necessary to particularize as to locali-
ties or regions of country which are
well or poorly supplied with water, as
it is sufficient to say that stagnant ponds
or streams, which come so near drying
up in summer that water is only found
along their beds in small sinkholes and
puddles, are not healthy sources from
which farm stock should obtain water
to drink. Water that is unfit for the
use of man is also unfit for his animals;
and we would have every breeder look
at the subject in just this light and no
other. When all do this, there will be
less complaint of diseases which are only
too well known in localities and upon
farms where the supply of pure water
is limited.

THE following recipe will restore the
original polish Of furniture, especially
in the case of such articles as pianos,
fancy tables, cabinets, lacquered ware,
&C., which have become furnished by
use: Make polish by putting half an
ounce Of shellac, the same quantity of
gum lac, and quarter Of an ounce of
gum sandarac into pint of spirits of
wine. Put them all together in a stone
bottle, near the fire, shaking it very
often. As soon as the gums are dis
solved it is ready for use. Then take
roller Of woolen rags-soft old broad
cloth will do nicely-put a little of the
polish on it, also few drops of linseed
oil. Rub the surface to be polished with
this, going round and round, over a
small space at time, until it begins to
be quite smooth. Then finish by a
second rubbing with spirits of wine and
more of the polish. Furniture thus
treated will have a brilliant lustre,
equal to new.

Electric Conductiuty of CarbOn.-In
the last published proceedings OF the
Physical Society of London. the
methods of determining the electric
conductivity of various forms of carbon
are shown. which are due to Mr.. Bauer
man. As the use of carbon elements
is getting more frequent, such expert
ments are very well worthy of notice.
A fragment of the substance to be
tested, no matter what be the form of
carbon, is Introduce between the jaws
OF a pair of tongs, formed by bending
a strip of zinc into a horseshoe shape,
and immersing it into a solution of
cupric sulphate. If the carbon Is a
non conductor the copper salt is decOm-
posed, and the deposit of copper only
takes place on the immersed surface of
the zinc. When, however. the carbon
possesses high degree of cOnductivlty
a zinc carbon couple is formed, and a
deposit of copper takes place on the
surface of the carbon, as In ordinary
electrotyping. American anthracites.
and Goals that apparently had been
subjected to the action of lntruded
igneOus rocks, gave the most rapid
results. The most remarkable OF these
was an anthracite coming from Peru
containing large amount OF sulphur
coming from a high plateau of the
Andes, 1900 feet above the level of
the sea. This coal was covered with
copper almost as rapidly as graphite.
PENNSYLVANIA coal possesses the same
property, but not to such a high degree
as the Peruvian coal. Ordinary Welsh
anthracite was not a good conductor.
but on being heated to full red heat,
it conducted electricity freely. The
connection between this conductivity
in carbons, and the amount of disturb
ance in the coal formations, if fully
established, is curious one. In South
Wales where, as it is well known that
no great amount of disturbance has
taken place, the electric cOnductivity is
small, while with American coal. where
disturbances were undoubtedly greater,
and accompanied by more recent heat
ing, the conductivity increases. As M.
Bauerman very properly adds, long
continued exposure to lower tenn
perature might possibly produce the
same effect, and further experiments
upon this point would be desirable.

MIXTURE of Races and Mental Char
acfer:-One further general inquiry of
a different kind may be added: What
effect is produced on mental nature by
mixture of racesi There is reason for
believing that, throughout the animal
kingdom. the union of varieties that
have become widely divergent is phyi-
ically injurious; while the union of
slightly varieties is physic-
ally beneficial. Does the like hold with
the mental naturef Some facts seem
to show that mixture of human races
extremely unlike produces a worthless
type of mind-a mind fitted neither for
the kind of life led by the higher of
the two races, nor for that led by the
lOwer-a mind out of adjustment to all
conditions of life. COntrariwise, we
find that peoples of the same stock,
slightly differentiated by lives carried
on In unlike circumstances for many
generations, produce by mixture a
mental type having certain superiOri-
ties. In his work on "The HuguenOts,"
Mr.. Smiles points out how large q
number of distinguished men among
us have descended from Flemish and
French refugees; and NJ. Alphonse de
Candolle, in his ''Histoire des Sciences
ct des Savants depuis deux Siecles,n y
shows that the descendants of French
refugees in Switzerland have produced
an unusually great proportion of scien-
tific men. Though, in part, this result
may be ascribed to the original natures
of such refugees, who must have had
that independence which is a chief
factor in originality, yet it is probably
In part due to mixture of races. For
thinking this, we have evidence which
is not open to two interpretations.
Prof. Morley draws attention to the
fact that, during seven hundred years
of our early history, "the best genius
of England sprang up on the line of
country in which Celts and Anglo
Saxons came together" In like man
ner. Mr.. Galton, in his English Men
of Science" shows that in recent days
these have mostly come from an inland
region, running generally from north
to south, which we may reasonably
presume contains more mixed blood
than do the regions east and west of it.
Such result seems probable priori.
Two natures respectively adapted to
slightly unlike sets of social conditions
may be expected by their union to
produce nature somewhat more plas-
tic than either-a nature more impressl-
BILE by the new circumstances of ad-
vancing social life, and therefore more
likely to originate new ideas and dis
play modified sentiments. The COM
parative psychology of man may. then,
fitly include the mental effects of mix
ture and among derivative inquiries
we may ask, how far the conquest of
race by race has been instrumental in
advancing civilization by aiding mix
ture, as well as in other waysf-Popu-

To CAN SWEET CoRN.-Very many
fail In their attempts to can green corn
for winter use. The following is one
of the best methods, which We take
from the American Grocer, and we ad-
wise all who wish to can corn to pre-
serve these directions:
The corn should be picked when Just
milk ripe. After husking, the kernels
are cut from the cob with a gagged
knife and the cob scraped to get all the
juices. Next it is placed in tin cans
without admixture Though sometimes
little sugar is added to poor corn) and
sealed up air-tight. Then comes the
processing" or boiling, viz: subjecting
the can and contents to the heat of boil
ing water from one to two hours, ac-
cording to the size of the can. This can
only be determined by experiment.
Next they are taken from the boiling
water and small hole punched in the
top of the can to allow the escape of the
gases and instantly resealed, after
which the can is replaced in the hot
bath and allowed to remain as long or
longer than at first.
