Possibilities of an Acre.

No man knows what these are.
We know that two hundred bush.
els of corn were once grown on
one acre, and that five bales of
cotton have been made on the
same area of soil, but we do not
know that the limits of production
were reached in either case. We
should try to find out how much
of any given crop can be produced
on an acre of land, and how cheap
ly it is grown. A big crop may
not, in all cases, be a profitable
one. 1t may cost too much to
make it. The greatest yield with
the smallest outlay of capital and
labor is what we aim at. Our
farmers are often poor, not SO
much because their crops are
smalI-and small they are COM
pared with what they might be
as because 1T costs too much to
make them. We must learn to
make larger crops with less labor.
To do this we must 60 over less
ground, and make science and
p actical skill properly supple
ment muscle and machinery

The Grasshoppers in
Iowa.

The grasshoppers that have
been Matched out in the immense
sand fields OF Dakota and Min
nesota were carried down by the
wind in large number into Iowa,
and the report comes from Sioux
City that the country in that vi.
cinity was overrun, and was being
laid waste by them. They be-
longed to the hOrdes that started
on the Northwest the day before
from the sand tracks, and just as
they reached Sioux City, their
passage was prevented by an ad-
verse wind. They alighted upon
the gardens of the city and did
considerable damage, but not SO
much as was feared. Reports re.
ceived from the surrounding coun.
ties were to the effect that their
visit was not extensive to the
south or west of Sioux City, in
some directions not reaching more
than two miles away from town,
and in others four or five. In
Nebraska, the small grain is har'
vested in good shape, and not
withstanding the corn is almost
totally destroyed, the country
Whereabouts is in better shape
than it has been for FIVE years.

TELLING "THE Big Tree" IN
CALAVERAs.-One of the most iu-
genious applications of the auger
is that of telling trees, especially
as practiced on the mammoth
growths peculiar to California.
II is stated that "the big tree" as
it was called, which grew in Gala
veras county, contained half a
million feet of inch lumber, and
was felled by five men working
twenty-five and halt days, max
ing one hundred and twelve and a
half days labor of this kind upon
one tree. This tree measured
ninety-two feet in circumference
at the base, according to state
ments which admit Of no question
in respect to genuineness. 1t was
not cut down with axes, but as a
more practicable method, was bor-
ed down with long pump augers,
and the wood remaing between
the holes was cut off with chisels
on tie ends of long sticks.

Canada Salmon and the
Hot Weather.

From the St. John IN. b. Telegraph.
During the recent hot weather
salmon in the St. Mary's River
were dying of the heat. Salmon
barreling themselves is something
new, but a case of the kind &C
tually occurred at the lead mine
on st. Mary's River. To keep
cool a salmon entered an old -four
barrel half buried in debris on the
shore, where he was captured by
the miners. Salmon were also
seen throwing themselves out of
the tepid water of the streams on
the shore in a dying state. Streams
where they formerly spawned
were all but dry-the late rains
have probably swollen them SO as
to allow the fish TO come up.

Judge Henderson said that the
owner of land is the owner OF it

claim of it. This being the law
the prosecutor had the right to
the fruit on the branches extend

have sawed them off. This de-
cision is important at this partie-

Countless accidents, as every
one knows, arise from the use of
matches. To obtain light with
out employing them, and so with
out the danger of setting things on
fire, an ingenious continuance is
now used by the watchmen of
Paris in all magazines where ex-
plosive orinfammable materials are
kept. Any one may easily make
trial of it. Take an oblong phial
of the whitest and clearest glass,
and put into it a piece of phospho-
rus about the size of a pea.
Pour some olive oil heated to tt
boiling point, upon the phospho-
rus; fill the phial about one-third
full and then cork it tightly. To
use this novel light, remove the
cork, allow the air to enter the
phial, and then recork it. The
empty space in the phial will be
come luminous, and the light OBJ
tanned will be equal to that of a
lamp. When the light grows
dim, its power can be increased
by taking out the cork and allow
ihg a fresh supply of air to enter
the phial. In winter it is some
times necessary to heat the phial
between the hands in order to in
crease the fluidity of the oil. The
apparatus thus prepared may be
used for six months.-[ CaSseWs

To PREPARE LARD TO KEEP
To one gallon of lard, before it is
rendered, add ounce of sal soda,
dissolved in a gill of water. Do
not fill your pots more than halt
full, as the soda makes it foam
and run over. No other notice is
required than that which the soda
is dissolved. When your lard is
done it will be clean and as clear
as spring water--no foam--and
the cracklings will Re eaten up
Strain through coarse cloth into
jars. Lard put up in this way
will keep two years hard and firm
through the summer.

RAPID MILKING The question
has been asked how long it takes
to draw quart of milk from a
cow, and if it can be done at the
rate of a quart a minute. / was
talking with my nearest neighbor
about it last evening. He had
never timed himself at that work,
but thought quart a minute was
a little more than he could do
He would try it with his three
years-old heller in just twelve
hours from the time he MIXED her
in the morning. / was to milk
my four year-old at the same
length of time after morning milk
ing; the pals to be weighed when
empty, and to allow two pounds
of milk to the quart; one to hold
the watch while the other did the
milking of his own cow. The
result of it was that the heifer,
two months from the time of drop
ping her calf, gave twenty two
pound; time of milking eight and
one fourth minutes. My four
year old, five weeks from calving,
gave twenty-seven pounds ten
ounces; time ten and one-half
minutes. Our respective ages are
sixty-two and sixty-six years.
At the morning milking my COW
gave twenty five pounds fourteen
ounces; for the day, fifty.thlee and
and one half pounds. - Country

Death Of the Noted Horse Hamblctonian.

Rysdick's Hambletonian, probably
the most noted horse in the world,
died last week at Rysdick estate at
Chester, and as it was the wish of his
late owner, Mr.. Rysdick, that the
horse should be buried on the estate.
a grave was dug for him yesterday
afternoon behind the barn where he
lived so long. A large box was made for
his body, and he was buried Tuesday.

gave Hambletonian such renown that
mares from all sections of the country
were sent to him, and the demands for
his services increased at such a rate
that his owner, Mr.. Rysdick, raised his
price service from 500 to $500, which
rate continued to the time of his death.
The horse was said to have been pos
sessed of considerable speed; but, like
his sire, Abdallah he never showed it
in public. There was a story cur.
rent some years ago that being on
Long Island, in his 4-year-old form, he
was taken on the Union course, and
there, in private trial, trotted a mile
very low in the forties. But whether
he could trot fast or not makes little
difference. He produced at least 100
sons and daughters that could trot
fast, fifty of his sons being now in the
stud, getting trotters in ever State in
the Union.
