Sweet Corn Tor FecdInr.

Many farmers Though not every one),
know the value Of sweet corn in its
season for feeding to swine, and rows IN
milk. At the time sweet corn il fit to
feed, the drought of summer il very
likely to cut the supply of grass short,
and the pasture tor both cow and SWINE
will be scant in milk giving properties.
To breeders who are raising thoroughbred
pigs, this early, rich, succuIent feed is of
the highest value. About the time it is
ready to feed, the breeding COWS begin to
get reduced from sucking, and the pigs
are large enough to begin to make way
with fair r%ations, il suitable food is
within their reach. There is perhaps
nothing better for young pigs than old
sweet corn soaked soft. The new corn,
from the time it is in milk until it is
entirely ripe, may he said to be next in
value to the old corn, soaked.

the area according to your needs, bear.

ment as breeders-or for the shamble.--
il il the very best economy to feed liber-
ally in warm weather, for then growth is
made rapidly, and the foundation is laid
for size and vigor before cold weather
sets in. The same doctrine is applicable
u mich cows, for no animal on the farm
suffers greater depreciation, for either
The dairy or for future iatting, than tho
cow that is permitted to get low in flesh
in the fall.
y patch OF sweet corn, not too far from
the Farm buildings where the ground can
be conveniently manfred and tended at
odd times, and where it will be easv ri
Access for tamily use, should be one al

Silver Mountain GlOries.

One look to the eastward toward sun
down or in the morning, will convince
everyone th&t the Carson bottoms and
deserts and valleys to the eye have at
some time been covered with water,
through which the mountains and
ranges of hills have pricked their rocky
peaks and formed isles in the oiing. At
five o'clock one evening lately the tops
of the Sugar-loaf and the Coma range and
the crags and peaks this side were all
afloat on n rolling sea of mist, which
filled the places once occupied by the
water. This sea beat on the reefs beyond
the Twenty-six-mile desert and the Sands
of Death, where glistening bones still
mark the overland trail. for forty miles,
and seemed to die along the Humboldt,
one hundred and eighty miles away. 1t
was a glorious picture, and one which
belongs to the eastern side of Mount Da-

Experiments with the Eucalyptus
G~lObuius.

A late Sacramento paper says: "lhe
Central and Pacific railroad company
have arranged to have 10000 eucalyptus
trees yet out along five hundred miles OF
the right Of way Of the company. 1t
should not be understood that that is the
whole number of trees to be sct out. 1t
il but the first instaIlmcnt, and ia for
commencing the work. As there are
$3.50 feet in q mile, if the trees are
planted twenty feet apart in longitudinal
lines and three rows deep in the fifty feet
right of way On each side of the track
it will take nearly 300 900 trees for the
five hundred miles of valley where they
are to be cultivated.
"Thc object of this plant is to note
what effect the planting OF these trees
will have upon the climate. 1t il the
theory that large numbers OF them will
increase the humidity Of the atmosphere
and lessen the liability to droughts. The
denuding of hills OF their timber, and
the clearing away Of forests has a direct
effect upon climate, ~ il well established,
and the intention now is to see how Tar
artificial means will be effective in restOr-
ing the balance believed to have been lost
by the clearing out of our forests, az
well as the scattered groups Of valley
trees. In thisconnection it isto be noted
that the directors of the Good Templars'
home for orphans at Vallejo has now III

thousand of the eucalyptus globuIous up.
on the grounds of the home, which will
make quite a forest when the trees shall
be fairly grown. The very low price at
which these trees are to be obtained, Il
nominal figure indeed, and the action OF
the Central Pacific railroad company,
has stimulated the inquiry anew why it
should not be an excellent stroke OF
policy for this city to secure at least
5000 OF 5000 Of these trees ut once, as
the time for tranaplanting is good, 10 DC
placed by the city or citizens who Will
care for them until well rooted, in those
districts of the city which are most liable
to malarial influences. 1t is established
that such experiments have been highly
successful, notably that of the English
government at the cape of Good Hope,
and Of the local government OF n region
in Belgium"

A Perfect Theatcr.

The American Architect gives the fol.
lowing description Of the Vienna opera
house:
con each side of the stage are two
three-foot walls, seven feet apart. These
are stihened by vaults running their
whole length, and forming passages, nine
in number, upon each side. These wall
support the iron stage roof, under which
ia suspended an iron and brick ceiling.
| A wire curtain, weighing three tons, and
| co~unterpoised, IL suspended above the
prOscenium opening 1t is let down
every night and is seldom raised during
rrhearsals, Its meshes are only three,
fourths of an inch wide. 1t takes n
quarter Of an hour to raise, but by loos.
ening the windlass and supplying a
brake it can be lowered rapidly though
gently.
line building is warmed by steam
and well ventilated, while it il possible
TO shut Off the gas from the stage and
auditorium without extinguishing that
| upon the stairs and corridors.
1.-TWO mains supply the theater with
water; one supplying exclusively the
daily use, the other the fire service.
Could we not, in view Of the scarcity Of
Croton water, connect pipes with the
rivers and fill our reservoirs with salt
water for the latter purpose, with the
aid of steam pumps2
Reservoirs in the Vienna theater are
| placed above the rear stage. In the in.
81 cctor's room gauges indicate the height
Of water in the same, whilst other regis
ters show the temperature of thirty dit
ferent rooms in the building. Through
speaking tubes, telegraphs, pipes, etc, he
and gas supply Of all parts ofthe theater,
The reservoirs above mentioned feed
pipes running through the passages al
ready described, also across the stage
bridges, under the stage, and to the stor,
rooms. These pipes are above ten inches
b.low five inches, in diameter. At fire
quent intervals are stop cocks, to which
are attached flexible tubes with half
inch %nozzles. In its passage, by the side
of the stage, are snail Sits opening t
the stage and closed by iron doors
Through these one hundred and fifty
openings half as many streams can be di
rected upon any portion OF the scener,
upon or above the stage.
"Ten men are employed to watch thi
theater, and of these eight are on duty
during the performance and four b,
night. They are controlled by six dia
repisters."

There is a very common prejudice
against the toad. BY many he il looked
on with loathing aud disgust. lie is re.
garded as an ugly, unc0uth and worth
less nuisance, that should be abated al
sight, But this prejudice is ill-ioundcd
and unjust, AZ The toad IL not only harm
less, but quite useful to farmers and gar,
deners. They should, therefore, be re.
earded M friends, instead OF being treat
ed an enemies. The eggs Of the toad are
usually laid in the water, but at times,
when this il not accessible, they are laid
in damp dark places, and in such cases
they do not pass through the tadpolc
state. Wlile in the tadpolc state they
live on vegetable food, but MS t0lds they
live on insects, spiders, etc. They are
exceedingly well adapted to catching,
having a touch Of marvellous construc-
ton. 1t is quite long, and may be pro.
iccted six or eight inches, the Zip Of it
being 10 directed M to just reach the oh
loct, and being covered with n viscid,
glmmy su b%stance, that causes tie insect
to adhere TO it, it il thus conveyed to the
mouth Of the toad and buried alive. The
movements of the tongue in thus taking
in n fly or n bug are So rapid that they
cannot be followed by the eye. The
number Of insects that a toad will eat il
almost incredible. A few OF them in Il
garden will keep it well rid Of buga, plant
Ice, etc. They generally spend tho day
IN some dark, secluded spot, often a hole
under Il sod or clod, or the side of n rock,
and in the evening they come out, and
hop about in search of a supper OF live
insects. They may be induced to take
up their residence in the garden by con.
timing them for two or three days to the
place, when they will become quite well
contented. A board laid about two
inches from the ground is just the kind
OF II hiding place that suits them. They
are long-lived, being often known twelve
or sixteen years old and it is said that
one lived to be thirty-six years old. On
account of their propensity for destroy
ing insects, toads should be encouraged
to become permanent residents of our
fields and gardcns,-L. D. +, in Ohio

even the cloth will not be laid for break
fast. The great West End" does not
seem to be fairly up and about till three
or four in the afternoon.
Towards six the streets are crowded,
and Burlington arcade begins to put on
its liveliest face. At eight one goes to
dinner, and if there are more men than
ladies' present you will get away before
II 80. Thus, at this time of the year,
the L%ondener gets along with an infini'
tcsimal quantity OF daylight, and it is
lucky for him that he is able to do so,
for the sky is hidden by fogs and vapors,
and, until one gets used to it, the heavy
and somber air fills one with the "blues"
and gives rise to dismal presentimcnts
of approaching evil.
