Barley.

There are 1000, 900 bushels of barley
imported into the United States every
year. As the successful cultivation of
barley is only possible with good farm
ing the reason Of this large importa-
tation must lie with our poor farming.
1t is both spring and winter grain,
but in this country it is generally sown
in the spring. In selecting seed choose
that which is of II pale, lively yellow,
intermixed with a bright, whitish cast,
and free from blackness at the tail; if
the rind be little sh1ivellcd it indi-
Gates a thin skin, which is desirable. 1t
is necessary to change the seed from
time to time for that grown in Il differ
ent soil, as this grain becomes coarser
every year. The principal varieties
are the two and six rowed; in Europe
the latter is preferred for its produc-
tiveness and hardness. In this coun-
try the two-rowed is generally cult
waited on account of its superior fulness
and freedom from smut. Of the sub
varieties the Hudson's Bay is very pro-
ductive and ripcns early; the Chevalier
and Providence are both luxuriant
growers. The soil for barley should be
Il rich loan, between light sand and
heavy clay and well drained. Sow in
the spring as soon us the ground is dry,
on Il grass or clover lay turned over the
preceding fall; it may also follow u
well MANFRED and cleanly herd crop.
If sown on sod pillow in lightly, and af-
terward harrow or roll. See that the
soil be well pulvcrized, and sow from
one and a half to two and a half bushels
per acre. Barley should never follow
or precede the other white grains. "A
lengthy departure from this rule will
cause serious detriment to soil and
crops. On Indifferent soils a light
dressing of compost may be applied, or
in moderate quantity after the plants
have commenced growing in the spring.
If the ground is dry and not compact
rolling will be of service when the
plants are four or five inches high. 1t
gives support to the roots, destroys in
sects, multiplies seed stalks and in
creases their vigor. When too luxuri-
ant barley may be fed off, but not too
closely. Cookie, wild mustard and
other weeds should be pulled before
they are in blossom. Barley is inferior
in nutriment to wheat and rye, but
superior to oats. There is no better
feed for horses; when ground it is cx-
cellent food for cows, producing ricl,
milk. When barley is mixed with
boiled potatoes and fed to pigs it pro-
duces more pork, and of a better flavor.
than any other food. 1t is also excel
lent for poultry.-N. Y. Herald.

The Betting Mania in California.

CALIFORNIANs have an inherent, in
ordinate desire for betting. 1t amounts
almost to Il mania. If they are not dis
posed to fight We tiger or play poker,
or bet their coin on any game of
chance, they are sure to exhibit their
propensity for betting in some way,
and they will go their whole pile on
anything, no matter how preposterous.

death would not live twenty minutes

one of his friends. The wager was ac-
cepted, and the stakes were scarcely
put up when the report came that the
man was dead. ''Do you give it up?'
asked the man who won. "NO," was
the reply; "Tll now bet so that he

about that time the doctor reappeared.

ton was asked. Eyes. dead as Julius

soil or large pots should not be used
the latter should be but little larger
than the diameter of the roots. When
the roots are we'll developed the plant
may be shifted into larger pot and
richer soil. The leaves of plants from
warm countries-oranges for instance
will sometimes become yellow when
exposed to u low temperature, espe-
cially when accompanied with much
moisture; the remedy in this case is
either to raise the temperature or de-
crease the amount of water given.
Sometimes the discoloration is caused
by insufficiency of water, which causes
the roots to shrivel up. 1t may also
proceed from giving too much water at
one time, and then letting the ball be-
come dry, or by giving enough Of water
to mOisten the surface of the soil for an
inch or two. while below it may be as
dry us powder. Carefulness and watch
fulncss are the only modes of prevent
ing injury to the plants from such
causes. When the leaves of deciduous
plants fall off rs their season of rest
approaches, they should be placed in /,
lower temperature, and not have as
liberal i supply of water as when grow
ing. If evergreen plants, such as we
generally grow in greenhouses, shed
their leaves profuscly and suddenly, it
indicates that they have not light
enough, or that the temperature of the
room is too high, or the atmosphere is
too dry; the proper mode of treatment
in such eases is self-apparcnt.
Occasionally plants will die off sud-
denly near the surface of the soil, al
though the roots, leaves and shoots
look quite healthy. This is often caused
by the collar of the plant the part
where the roots are joined to the stem
being set too deep into the soil. Water
ing with very cold water when the soil
in the pots has been exposed to the sun
will also cause them to die off sudden
ly. Plants in pots should never have
the pots exposed to full blaze of sun
shine, especially in the middle of the
dav. The crowns of herbaceous plants
that have been kept dry, or compare
lively SO, during their season of rest,
will rot away if the ball of roots arc too
literally supplied with water. They
should be kept in the shade, and but
sparingly supplied with water, and that
rather tcpid, until they develop a leaf
or two.
Some plants, especially roses, when
kept in rooms, arc very apt to become
mildewcd, to the certain destruction of
the leaves and tlowcr-buds. AS soon
as it shows itself the leaves should be
washed with soap and water. rinsed of,
and flour of sulphur busted on with Il
dredging-box or pcpper-box, washing
it of after it has been on for two or
three days.
The whole art of keeping plants in
rooms is to provide an equable, moist
temperature, light according to the
nature of the plants, regular moderate
watering, good drainage, suitable soil,
cleanliness, and an avoidance of all
sudden checks or shocks to the plant
either in temperature or humidity.
These are always injurious, as they
produce disease and render the plant
liable to the attacks of insects and fun
gold growths.-Haspcr's Ba.ar.

permit the woman to EMPLOY her own
discretion in spending it, which she
might be trusted to do after little
rudimentary instruction, and which is
the surest method of acquainting her
with its value.
If she once understands that the
whole thing is left to her, if she knows
how much she can justly use, if she
feels the full sense of responsibility,
she is very apt to show that she is capa-
bic of managing dollars and cents.
Having had proper training and teach
ing, she very often proves herself quite
rs competent as men are to deal with
money, and not seldom surpasses them
in this particular. She is not extrava-
giant nor wasteful after she has had a
little financial education. On the con-
trary, she is decidedly economical, and
many husbands are willing to attest
that their wives are more judicious
purchasers and better savers than they
can ever hope to be. After all that has
been said of woman's extravaganza,
she is far less extravagant than man.

Diseases Of Room Plants.

THE leaves of plants when in nor
maliy healthy state are generally of a
deep green color, but when diseased
they become yellowish or white. In
the majority of cases such a diseased
appearance is produced by an excess of
light or lack of it, too much or too
little water, unsuitable, over-rich, or
impoverished soil, or lack of drainage.
When the discoloration first shows it.
self-and this is generally on the
younger shoots-the condition of the
roots should be ascertained by turning
the plant out of the pot. If the roots
are healthy and fill the ball, or appear
ovcrcrowded, the discoloratiun indi-
Gates lack of nutriment, or too little or
too much light. In the first case it can
be remedied by shifting the plant into
a larger pot, or watering the plant
with liquid manure. If excess or lack
of light is the cause, reference must be
had to the character of the plant.
Ferns, selaginellas and plants of SINH
lar character that naturally grow in
shady places become pale or yellOwish
when grown in bright light, while those
whose habitat is in open, exposed stu
atoms become discolored when not
having a sufficiency of light In either
case, when grown in pots, plants are
more liable to become diseased through
this cause than whengrown in the open
air. The remedy, of course, is only to
shift the position of the plant and place
it where the light will better suit its
nature.
If the ball is not filed with roots, and
they do not appear to be fresh and
healthy, the discoloration, in all proba-
bility, proceeds from excess of moisture
or unsuitable: soil. To remedy the
first, see that the drainage outlet is
kept free and unchoked; if after week
or two this does not effect a change,
then it is probable that the diseased ap-
pearance arises from unsuitable soil,
and is of such long standing as to cause
the roots to decay, or the soil has be-
come sour, the proper remedy is to
shake off all the earth from them and
wash them by shaking them: thoroughly
in clean water, cutting off the decayed
parts with sharp knife, and replant.

SOME very curious and interesting
statistics have been furnished by K.
Seyd, well-known contributor to the
Economist, on the subject of mcrcan-
tile and other firms engaged in business
in the City of London. It appears that
in the beginning of the present year
there existed in the city no fewer than
II, 440 firms engaged in the wholesale
business, exclusive of stock exchange,
publishing, retail and small industrial
trades, etc. The wholesale businesses
include banking, financial, insurance
and other firms. Incredible as the
statement may seem, the date of estab-
lishment of one of the existing firms
goes back to a period before l,6OO. The
original principals of this firm were
contemporaries of Shakespeare and Ba-
con, and it is strange, indeed, that
though England has witnessed two rev.
olutions since the foundation of the
firm, its stability and continuance have
not been affected.
