FooT RoT IN SHEEP.-Of the one hun
dred and one remedies recommended for
this evil, every one is claimed TO be the
best. Here is one: Take of turpentine,
two ounces; sulphuric acid, two
drachms; olive oil, one ounce; mix
carefully, and, after removing the horn
from the part having matter underneath
apply freely TO the diseased parts. 1t
will greatly assist the cure if diseased
sheep are put in a shed with a clean
door, on which some quicklime is spread
every day.

Fish from an Artssidn U'eH.-At a
recent meeting of the San Francisco
Academy of Sciences, specimens of fish,
supposed to be trout, were presented,
accompanied by letter from Thomas
X. Bard, Of Hueneme, Ventura county,
Cal. They were thrown up from an
artesian well al feet deep near that
place. The well, which is nearly 800
feet deep from high water mark,
was bored in 1871, and ever since has
thrown out immense quantities of fresh
ly spawned fish in April and May. The
first fish this year were observed in
March. The well is capped, having
three two-inch apertures, from one of
which people were in the habit of filling
barrels of water for household uses. In
that way the presence of fish was dis
covered in 1872. The cap was removed
and fish were elected in Incredible
quantities, until the cap was replaced.
The fish are said to be of various sizes,
the largest about an inch in length. The
nearest stream where fish are found is
Santa Paula Creek, twenty-five miles
from the well. but it empties into the
Santa Clara river, at point twenty
miles distant.

BARLEY.-Skilful management is re-

culiar soils are required to produce a
clear, thin-skinned, bright colored sam
pie, such as brings the best price in the

limestone clay loan is perhaps the best
soil, but some lighter soils, that are
warm and rich, will produce good bar

worked, and free from weeds. Barley
should always be drilled and the seed
placed at an even depth below the sur

CASTOR BEANs.-We hope our farmers
will turn their attention more TO the
culture of castor beans. Grasshoppers
will not eat them, but will keep the
weeds and grass down, and give the
beans a chance to grow. They are
proof against 'hOppers, chinch bugs and
dry seasons. Any land that is good for
corn is good for beans. IL is not advis-
able to plant sooner than the Goth of
May. They are slow in coming up.
One half bushel will plant ten acres,
about four feet apart. Plant from two
TO three beans in a hill, and all the
building that is wanted is a granary 10

ward by the side OF your building; as
they pop out clean them up and put
them in store and put more on the yard.

Discovery Of Oxygen in the Smn by Photo
graphy.-Professor Henry Draper has
announced the discovery Of series OF
bright lines or bands In the photograph
of the solar spectrum, which correspond
exactly with the principal bright lines
or bands seen in photographs obtained
by means of electric illumination in the
spectrum of oxygen.
He has, in the Anlerlcdn Journal OF
Science and Arts, published paper and
illustrated il with a photograph, in
which he shows the perfect coincidence
of certain bright lines. The photo
graph contains in its upper half the
solar spectrum, and in its lower half the
spectrum of air obtained by passing the
spark Of Gramme induction machine
driven by BraytOn's petroleum motorl
from an iron to an aluminium point.
The coincidence of the luminous oxy-
gen and even of the nitrogen lines is
really remarkable; and as the photo
graph is stated to be absolutely free
from hand work or retouching, it places
the subject in question beyond doubt.
Thus the iron and aluminum.lines, pro-
duced by the effect of the powerful
electric current upon the electrodes,
show themselves, and the first may be
traced in the solar spectrum at the
corresponding places, as might be ex-
pected.
We will only add that Professor
Draper has made detailed comparison
of these lines in the spectra of air, oxy-
gen, nitrogen, hydrogen, carbonic acid,
carburetted hydrogen, and cyanogen,
so as to be sure of the luminous lines
belonging to oxygen, and he has also
made experiments with these gases at
various pressures, as in some of them
the lines vary with the pressure. 1t
may be remarked as an important fact
that the spectrum of oxygen is not sub
ject to variation, but that its lines are
constant at all pressures.
Science is already largely indebted to
Professor Draper for the originality of
his researches, and no doubt important
results may be expected in the train of
research he is now following. Itis use
less TO speculate as yet on the nature of
the sun, and il is better left to later
times, when our knowledge of this re-
markable body will be more complete;
but one thing is certain, that the idea
of Herschel that the sun may be an in
habited globe must be given up. 1t is
undoubtedly that body at tempera-
ture so high that the substances present
there are dissociated and cannot enter
into chemical combinations. However,
that we will find there all the elements
present on our globe may be anticipated
if we adopt the theory of Kant and
Laplace of a common origin of our
whole planetary system out of one
single nebula.

my stay there when on my first trip

and spent Sunday there. There were
two coacb-loads of US, and the little
two-story brick tavern was nearly full
when we arrived. The best they could
do for my brother Charles and myself
was to give us a couple of shake downs
in the dining-room. We slept late sun
day morning, but finally waking up
commenced TO talk. / said, Charles,
I'll bet you can tell what they had at

what was it p he asked. 'Roast beef, l
replied, basing my judgment on stale
sort of Odor that pervaded the room.
No, you're Mistaken said he, shaking
his head and smiling at the covering of
his bed; lit was mutton We both
stoutly maintained our respective pro-
positions, and falling TO a vigorous
smelling of our bed-clOthes, found the
landlord had given us couple of table
cloths for bed-spreads, and Charles had
got the mutton-cloth and the beef.
