How Time is saved and Lost.

One of the most serious faults that affiict
mankind, and especially farmers, is the care
less habit of wasting time in doing little
things, where little calculation would save
so much. 1t is often more profitable for a
mechanic to sit down and study the manner
ia which a machine is put together, before he
attempts to take it to pieces in order to repair
some of its parts, than 1t would be for him to
60 at it wrench in hand, and remove every
nut and loosen every bolt before he got to
the right one. His employer might suppose
if he saw the man idle that it was from a de-
sire to shirk work, and demand that he at
once begin TO take to pieces, but it might not
be economy; yet there are employers who are
satisfied if their employees keep moving, no
matter whether they work to the best adVan-
tage or not.
The time lost in going back to the house
from distant parts of the farm for tools for
gotten amounts to great many days in the
course of year. There are very few farm
ers who have not been angry on arriving in
the field to discover that wrench has been
left at home, or clevis lost; yet, if they had
first taken moments time to think of what
was required, and then had looked to see if it
was in the wagon, they would have thought
it time misspent. The time spent in going
and coming from one job to another also in
wolves serious loss of time. Digging pota-
toes for family use often consumes great
deal more time than is necessary. We can
call to mind whole neighborhoods where,
every morning regularly after new potatoes
are large enough to use, until the crop has
been harvested, boy or man is sent to dig a
few hills. The time spent in going and com
ing is often more than that required for dig
ging the tubers. If it takes 10 minutes to GO
and come, and the operation is repeated sew
en- times week there are 10 minutes con-
sumed in travel. Once going with bushe
basket might have provided whole weeks
| supply and one whole hour would have been
saved. We might go on and enumerate a
dozen just such operations on the farm,
which consume time needlessly. Chicago

Horses i'm Europe.

Russia leads all other nations in the mum.
Der of its horses. In 1876 she had 81 $40, 900
horses, or more than all Europe beside, and
go per cent. more than are owned in the
United States. Compared with other coun-
tries, Russia has one horse for every three
and half persons, Austria one for every ten,
Prussia and Great Britain one for every eleven,
France one for every twelve, and Italy one
for every twenty seven. Far back into the
history of Russia, the rearing of horses has
always formed notable branch OF national
industry.
The government of Russia devotes special
attention to the encouragement OF horse
breeding. There are no less than twelve In
perial studs, nine of which are in Europe, and
three in the Caucasus; there are also fourteen
government depots and country stables spread
over the empire, each having from go to 15O
stations for public use, besides which are
about $500 private studs that own $500 stall
lions and $4,000 brood mares. The govern
ment offers prizes and medals at races and
exhibitions for improvement in the various
breeds. Over 400 horse fairs are held annu-
ally, and at fifteen OF the most important OF
these from 1000 to 10000 horses are offered
for sale, while in all some 300,OOO change
hands at these fairs. During the period from
1870 tc 1875. Russia averaged an annual ex-
port of horses exceeding in number $4,000.

A correspondent supplies the following
remedy for the destruction of the wire worm,
stating that he has used it with complete
success for some years past. He found the
worm so abundant in every part of the gar
den he was set to cultivate, that be could
scarcely grow potato or carrot without its
being rendered useless by it; and among the
various things he was led to adopt as pre-
ventatives. SCOT appeared to be the only eff
fectual remedy. This he applied to potato
crops in the following manner: - The drills
were got ready in the usual way, and the sets
laid in at the bottom of each drill; the SCOT
was then put down upon them, in quantity
sufficient to cause the drills to assume quite a
black appearance. This being done, the drills
were closed in the ordinary manner to the
natural level, and the work was finished.
Wherever scot was applied the crops turned
out lean and good, scarcely trace of the
wire worms ravages was 10 be seen, while
those from rows not dressed with SCOT were
quite the reverse; the potatoes being pierced
through in every direction and fit only for
feeding pigs. This proves that SCOT, if it
does not destroy, at least prevents the attack
of wire worm, and so useful is this material
that it is a matter for surprise that persons
with gardens allow the sweep to carry away
such useful article, when their chimneys

1t is now generally received as true, that
the cion does affect the stock upon which it
Is grated, and the roots as well. 1t is also
probable that that the stock affects the cion
growth to acertain extent. A correspondent
of the London Garden notes a curious in
stance in laburnums, several of which were
budded with new golden colored variety, at
height of about 5 feet. These buds gener-
ally grew, and the suckers along the stock,
some Of them nearly to the ground, assumed
a hue similar to those of the budded portion
1t is interesting as an instance of the infu-
ence of contact, as between the bud and
stock.
