Flowing OF Burning.

The Journal of Agriculture says, The
time WAS when It was thought that ev-
erything on the top of the ground should
be plowed under. and that crop OF weeds,
grass, and dilapidated cornstalks would
materially benefit the soil. That they pos
sess some value is an admitted fact, and, if
turned under in the fall season, so that
they will rot by spring, are OF some adV".-
tage to the soil; but should they remain
until spring they should be burned. The
insec. world is possessed with wonderful
powers of multiplication, and we know Of
no method equal to good burning 10 de-
stroy them In the early settlement Of the
country, when the pFairies were burned re-
gularly every year, many insects now COM
mon and injurious were unknown. We
think we can in very great measure attri-
/ butte their absence to these fires. Lands
/ thus cleansed are more easily cultivated
/ than those no: so treated Many nox;ous
seeds are destroyed and farm implements
do their work much more perfectly than
when they are dragging through great
masses of weeds and grass. These coEsid'
erations induce US to advise the burning
over of fields before plowing, and we be
lieve all doing SO will be pleased with the
experiment.

Curious Theory About SMALLPOX and
Yellow Light.

A correspondent of the Burnley Eng
land) Advertiser writes that "pitting"
from smallpox ought rarely to be seen in
any civilized country. He says: "In the
ratio of light is the ratio of pitting," and
that it is only necessary to keep the patient
excluded from the light TO insure a free
dom from the marks of the disease The
theory which he gives is that the sunlight
consists of three primary colors. The red,
the blue, and the yellow rays have distinct
and characteristic properties. The yellow
gives US light, the red gives US heat, and
the blue actinic chemical changes). 1t is
the actinic influence of the blue rays which
in theory, cause "pitting." No seed will
germinate, and young plants will soon per.
ish, if the chemically active rays-that is
the actinic rays are filtered from the sun.
light. yellow blind drawn over the win
dow will absorb all the actinic rays. The
puns of variolar pustules absorbs, by it
yellow medium, the actinic rays, which re
suits in erosion Of the tender flesh at tn
I base, and thus leaves the dreaded perman
ent "pitting."
