A CHEAP GRREN- N-HoUsE.-The cheap
est plan of erecting a greenhouse that
the GerBldntOIon Telegraph has any know
ledge of, is TO dig out pit in side-hill
where the upper end will be just above
ground, where the door must be, with
two or three steps down for an entrance.
Wall up, roof the wall, and cover the
whole with sash, as in hot beds, the
sash having more fall, say three feet in
a width of two, the house being fifteen
by ten. Erect in this the stand of
shelves, and when it is time to take up
the summer flowers, bulbs. &C., store
them here. The glass should be covered
with thick, straw mats, which can be
removed even when the weather is the
coolest in clear weather, for an hour or
two at midday to get the warmth and
influence of the sun. At such times
ventilation also should be attended to,
by slightly opening a sash or two. No
fire is needed. Nearly all readily flow
ering plants will bloom, and there will
scarcely be week during the winter
that bouquet may not be gathered, if
the house is properly managed.

LIME AND SALr.-Prof. johnson re-
commends for fertilizing purposes, to
mix one bushel salt and two of dry lime
under cover; allow the mixture to de-
compose gradually, thus forming chemi-
cal union. For this purpose the mix
ture should be made six weeks before
use, or still better, two or three months,
the heap being turned over occasionally.
This salt and lime mixture, when ap-
piled at the rate of twenty or thirty
bushels per acre, forms an excellent
top-dressing for many crops. 1t acts
powerfully on the vegetable matter of
soils; fifty-six bushels applied to tur-
nips have produced as large a crop as
barn-yard manure. 1t is destructive to
g-ubs and insects ia the soil. Like salt
it attracts moisture from the air, and is
useful against drouth. Its decomposing
power is remarkable, and if three or
four bushels of it are mixed with a load
of muck, the latter will be thus thor
Oughly powdered.

Salt Water Fish in a Queer Pldce.-The
Buck Hills Pioneer says, under the
heading, "Salt Water Fish in the Black
Hills" 1t is not our purpose to go in
to a web of theories to suhstantiate the
assertion made in the caption Ell this
article, but simply for the present to
record the fact that from a well of water
recently dug on Sherman street, there
was raised to the surface in a single
bucketful of water, six diminutive fish
of the tom-cod variety, which can now
be seen at the store of Star d Bullock.
The tom-cod is nowhere found except
in salt water, and is, as far as We know,
native of the Pacific Ocean, and its
appearance here through such source
confirms the belief in the underground
river and ocean theory. The well from
which these fish are taken yields water
but slightly impregnated with salt, or,
more properly, sodium, but its presence
is sufficiently perceptible to pin our
belief on the theory that the well has
tapped a salt water artery whose foun-
tain-head lies in some of the Pacific
coast ranges. This is also the opinion
of Mr.. Star whose geological researches
extend over a period of seventy-five
years, and whose name has been promi-
nently set in the brightest constella-
ton of the scientific ornament. The
specimens thus far raised to the surface
vary from one and half TO five inches
in length. The side and top fins are
large and beautifully colored in the
most delicate purple and carmine tints,
and the eyes are a jetty black.

Properties OF Stedm.-The properties of
steam should be generally know now
that frequent references are made to
them in books and conversation, while
the element itself is yearly coming into
more extensive use on every farm.
Steam arising from water at its boil
ing point, is equal to the pressure of the
atmosphere, which is IA, 1892 lbs. upon
a square inch at 66.
In all calculations concerning steam,
it is necessary to have some or all Of the
following elements, viz:
Its Pressure, which is termed Its
tension or elastic force, and is expressed
in pounds per square inch.
Its Temperature, which Is the number
of degrees of heat indicated by q ther-
mometer immersed In 1t.
Its Density, which is the side of
unit of its volume compared with that
of water.
Its Relative Volume, which is the
space occupied by a given weight or
volume of steam, compared with the
weight or volume of the water that pro-
duced it.
Steam in contact with water is at its
maximum density.
Under the pressure Of the atmosphere
alone, the temperature OF water cannot
be raised above its boiling point.
The Expansive force of the steam of
all fluids, Is the same at their boiling
point.
A cubic inch Of water, evaporated
under the ordinary atmospheric pres
sure, converted into 100 cubic inches
of steam, or in a unit of measure, nearly
cubic foot, and 1t exerts mechanical
force equal to the raising of 2l20 pounds
foot high.
OF steam, 27,2222 cubic feet at the
pressure of the atmosphere, weighs l
pound avOirdupois.
The Velocity of steam, when flowing
into vacuum, is about 1850 feet per
second, when at the expansive power
equal to the atmosphere. When at 10
atmospheres the velocity is increased TO
but 1850 feet; and when flowing into
the air under similar pressure, it is
about $50 feet per second, Increasing to
l6C0 feet for pressure, of 20 atmos-
pheres.

AGRICULTURAL.

LME FOR WEEvIL.-A correspondent
of the Country Gentleman writes as fol-
lows: "Some years ago, hearing COM
plant of weevil in the wheat about the
close of harvest when was ricking my
wheat, got fresh slaked lime and threw
it over the rick in building it, LAYING
two courses of the sheaves, then lime
sufficient to whiten the stack. There
was no weevil in my wheat. A neigh
Dor who threshed his wheat from the
shock came TO me few days after, and
said he should lose his wheat, for il was
alive with weevil. l told him to throw
lime over il, and shovel it through his
wheat, which he did. Two days after
there was not weevil to be seen in it. !"
Our farmers will do well to remem-
Der the above and try it. As precau-
tionary means it should be tried in
every stack, and can As well be tried in
cleaned wheat. An intelligent gentle
man has informed us that twenty-five
years ago, when the brewers in New
York had large quantities of barley on
hand, they found that the grain put up
in large bins was almost safe from the
weevil; the little creatures worked a
little in the top of the bins, but did not
extend down much; besides, dust ac-
cumulated where they worked, and de-
stroyed them in few days.
PULvERIZING MANURE.-SuppOse that
lump of manure be plowed under the
soil weighing six or eight pounds, how
much of its virtues are lost to crops in
consequence of being in a compact form
Probably three-fourths of it-that is, if
it were finely pulverized, and spread
over a square yard of land, its benefit
to the crop would be three times as
much as in the lumpy state. Farmers,
perhaps, 60 not con slider that W when they
spread stable dung upon their lands
they can profitably employ hand to
break il up as fine as possible, with rea-
sonable labor on it. A load of dung is
worth, as il lies in the yard, say 81.
When spread in the field, a man can
pulveriZe or fine it well in half an hour,
and this operation will cost. say five
cents, while the benefit to the crop will
be one dollar, or near it, L think 1 am
safe in saying, a large clod of manure
has enough fertility in it TO fertiliZe,
say 20 wheat plants, but if left unbroken
it would not, probably, reach over two
or three; and so it is with all grain
crops. Nor is there any crop that
would not be benefited by the fining of
stable dung. Some farmers break and
fine manure when spread with hsr-
row, and it is very speedy way of
doing it.

How TO PLACE A BED. - Baron
Reichenbach, who had devoted many
years of deep study to the art of bed
making, maintains that you must not
always lie on your bed as it is made,
under penalty of abridging your life by
a great number of years. If, says the
baron, mere magnet exercises an in
fuence on sensitive persons, the earth's
magnetism must certainly make itself
felt on the nervous life of man. Hence
he insists on the salutary effects of the
inhabitants OF the northern hemisphere
lying with their heads to the north,
and those of the southern with their
heads to the south. For travellers with
short memories we may put the rule in
general terms: In whatever hemisphere
you may be, always sleep with your
feet to the equator, and let your body
lie "true as needle to the pole" In
giving this rule the baron has simply
told us how to live hund-ed years !;
for the polar direction of the body is, it
appears, of the utmost importance for
the proper circulation of the blood, and
we have Baron Reichenbach's authority
for stating that many disturbances in
the human organisms have been cured
by simply placing the bolster at differ
ent point of the compass from that
which it had occupied before. Let such
as nave hitherto been In the habit of
sleeping with their heads where the feet
ought 10 be, take to heart the example
of the late DIR. Eischweiter Of Magde-
burg, who died recently at the age Of
l09 years, and always attributed his
long life to his faithful observance of
the pole to pole position of sleeping.
The most unhealthy position, we are
told, is when the body lies due east and
west. Some observers assure us that to
sleep in such posture is tantamount
to committing slow suicide, and that
diseases are often aggravated by devia-
ton from the polar posture.
TREATMENT. OF HoNEY.-Put the
honey, comb and all. i'm tin pan on a
moderately warm stove, adding to each
pound of honey tablespoonful of
water. Stir it occasionally with piece
of wire when the contents of the pan are
perfectly liquefied. 1t must not boil.
Set where it can cool undisturbed; then
pass a knife carefully round the pan to
detach the cake of wax on the top, and
rapidly, with great care, lift Off the
cake. Don't let it drain into the pan
an instant, but place it in another
utensil. Any one thus clarifying honey,
will find, on putting aside the cake OF
wax, that the impurities adhere TO the
cake of wax, while the honey beneath
is clear. Ii the honey should, in time,
candy, heat it with very little water
and sugar. Break up the wax cake and
wash it in cold water till cleansed of
honey; then melt aud strain it. To
bleach the wax, boil it, after straining
it, for an hour in plenty Of water, in
which use few drops of chloride of
soda. When quite cold, lift off the wax
and leave it to dry and whiten in the
open air.
