eyes of the top sof the potato
produce a much more vigorous off

and the consequence is that those az

half before planting them are not well
advised in cutting vertically, but
should always divide them horizon

How Grapes Ripen.

According to Complies Re,.d4s, St.
Pierre and Magnien have arrived at
the following conclusion in regard to
the changes which grapes undergo
while ripening During the process
they evolve carbonic acid ia darkness
as well as in light, when exposed to
the air or placed in an Indifferent GAS.
The amount OF oxygen evolved in
air is always in excess of the oxygen
taken up; this has been remarked in
the case of observations extending
over long space of time. Cranes
can absorb or give off water accord
ing rs they are placed in q moist or
dry medium. AS the change goes on
the acids decrease in amount. while
the quantity Of sugar increases. The
acids and the glucose are carried to
the grapes by the sap. Here the acids
are slowly consumed, while the sugar
increases III point Of concentration.
and at . still later stage the sugar is
consumed.

Potato Growing.

A French journal, Basse Co.y, de-
scribes the result of some expert
ments in potato growing recently
conducted by scientific men in Ger
many. The principal conclusions to
which these ssges have come, seem
to be two in number. The first of
them is that the vigor of the potato
plant is always in direct proportion
to the weight Of the tubers used for
sets, theory which certainly finds
some support in common sense alone,
considering that the young shoots for
some time draw their nourishment
from themother potato. The second
conclusion 10 that there is n vreat

Soon after the close Of the late civil
war the attention of certain planters
in the South, especially Louisiana,
was directed to q new fiber known as
rdneie, which it was alleged would.
in its production to the acre, be more
profitable than cotton, and in it's use
as textile supply the place of iute,
hemp, fax, and other similar teri
ais. Experiments were made. and
still continue in some portions of the
South, and results are generally de-
scribed as favorable. Thus far, how
ever, it appears that our inventors
have not been successful, in making
machinery whereby the various pro-
ductions ofthe fiber-as, for instance.
in the construction Of paper, coarse
cloth, carpet and bagging-can be
economically utilized. The current
testimony is to the effect that ronaie
IS hardy, easily grown plant, and
under certain conditions easily ma
nipulated; that its most important
uses are in the germ, and are only
awaiting the developments of exper-
fence, art and science, to be made
available among the larger inc ustrial
resources of the United States. If it

THE BANANA.

Banana plants are indigenous to
the tropical world where they are
widely cultivated for their fruit by
savage as well Fas civilized people,
from time immemorable. The amount
of fruit they bear, in proportion to
the ground they occupy and the care
they receive, is enormous; and they
are almost the sole sustenance of mil
lions of human beings. In Florida
and some other parts along the Gulf
Of Mexico, banana raising is quite an
important industry. A gentleman
Of Tallahassee, Florida, writing to me
year or two ago, said Banana
plants are worth 25 to 80 cents each.
They come from suckers from around
the old plant. Each plant will give
from eight to ten yearly. We plant
435 bearing plants to the acre, and
they bear fruit in from fifteen to eigh-
teen months after being set out"
Musa Sapientum is the banana of
commerce, and NJ. paradisica the
plantain. Both of these species are
so nearly allied, that some Of their va
rieties defy botonical distinction. The
banana plant has purple spots on its
stem, and its fruits are shorter and
rounder than those of the plantain..
But in cultivation there are varieties
Of both species that are greatly sui
perior to the originals. There are
many species of Musa, however, and
all useful in their way. Besides those
mentioned, the Chinese banana, NJ.
Sinenis, is q dwarf, quick growing
and heavily fruiting species, that, in
some of the British colonies and Pa
cifc islands, is being successfully cul-
tivated. This is the kind most gen.
orally met with in the greenhouses.
All the Musas contain a deal of e.
brous tissue in their leaf stalks; the
most noticeable in this case being M.
textilis, which is largely planted in
the East and West Indies, Malayan
and Philippine Islands. The fiber is
known as Manila hemp. The finer

are likewise used for other domestic
purposes: the young leaves as culin.
airy vegetables, the mature ones for
thatching huts, and mats are made of
the leafstrips.
The common banana grows from
10 to 20 feet high, the Chinese from
5 to Z feet, but the Abyssinian, Nj.
ensete, attains height of 80 or more
feet. This latter is q noble looking
plant, with q very stout "stem," and
vast obliquely erect leaves that have
a deep red mid-rib. In fact, this
Abyssinian banana produces the
largest entire leaf of any known plant
whatever. A few years ago an ex-
tremely fine specimen grew in the
palm house at Kew; measured the
blade Of one of its leaves and found
1T to contain % square feet. This
species is often met with in green
houses. Its fruit is useless IS food,
but the base Of the flower stalk is
cooked and used as q vegetable. This
species never produce suckers, and
must, therefore, be raised from seed.
The Kew specimen referred to, kept
on blooming for fifteen months

quently met with, we have sorts par
ticularly adapted for this purpose.
They include: M. S. vittata, variety
whose leaves are variegated with
large white blotches and streaks; M.
zebrlna, whose leaves are deep green
spotted with crimson above, and Grim
son shaded underneath; the Chinese
banana, whose leaves are in rosette
like tuft at the top Of its short ''stem;"
M. superba,. in appearance just inter-
mediate between the Chinese and
Abyssinian bananas the Abyssinian
SO long as il can be kept in small
state, and this is done by root con-
finement. Moreover, we winter this
species successfully in the cellar. And
there are q few kinds highly ornamen-
tai on account of their brilliant red
flower (bracts), notably NJ. coccinia,
which does best planted out in con-
servatory. It only grows some 6 to
8 feet high.
: In some European gardens the
Chinese banana is grown in glass
houses tor it's fruit alone, and the
most successful, too punches weigh
ing from 40 to 70.pounds being pro-
duced. A soil of turfy loan and old
manure is used, high temperature is
employed, and lots of moisture at the
root, over head and in the atmosphere
given. This species often fruits in
the green house without any special
care, but then we cannot expect such
excellent results as we would did we
treat for fruit only. A nice bunch
ripened here last fall.
Banana plants may be introduced
to the Summer flower garden with
excellent effect, grouped with other
sub-tropical plants in beds or borders,
or, better still, isolated in sheltered
hooks. They may be planted out, or
if preferred, kept in pots and the
pots plunged out of sight. But in all
cases they want sheltered positions,
otherwise their leaves would be torn
to shreds by the winds. They should
never suffer for the want of water,
and liquid manure is highly appreci-
ated.

BOYS AND THEIR MOTHERS.

Some one has written beautifully to
the boys in the following manner,
Here is a whole sermon in a few sen
fences: "Of all the love affairs in the
world, none can surpass the true love
of the big boy for his mother. It is
pure love and noble; honorable in the
highest degree to both. do not mean
merely dutiful affection. I mean a love
which makes boy gallant and cour-
iteous to his mother, saying to every-
body plainly that he is fairly in love
with her. Next to the love of a hus-
band nothing so crowns a woman's
life with honor as this second love
this devotion of a son to her. And /
never yet knew boy turn out bad
who began by falling in love with his
mother. Any man may fall in love
with u fresh-faced girl, and the man
who is. gallant with the girl NAV
cruelty neglect the worn and weary
wife. But the'boy who is a lover Of
his mother in her middle age, is a true
knight who will love his wife as.mnch
in the sere leaved autumn, as he did in
the daised spring-time."'
