other rest than that given by our long
winters has been pretty gel Nerally aoan-
doned. II fields are kept naked for
manths in preparation for sc edlng, IL IS
dome TO clean the land from oul weeds
rather than from any idea that ne naked
fallow 10 itself in any way be qehclal.
Undoubtedly there is a constant Necom-
position of the elements of plant 1000
latent to the soil Flowing and cul IVA
ton hasten this decomposition by adj. 1lt-
ting air and moisture. But there ls a. 80
a heavy loss of those fertilizlng elelnen 3
so long as the soil is left naked. Hence,
however good the crop after naked
fallow, the practice cannot be regarded
as other than n wastetul one. A well
cultivated. hoed crop will decompose as
much plant food in the soil as a fallow
could. The crop will exhaust the land
more than the fallow, but in planting
ground there will be something to show
for the loss while IN the fallow it will
also leave its roots in the soil and will
give farther compensation by the mulch
and shade which It affords.
1t is said by sSeciad advocates of the
commercial fertilizers that they contain
no weed seeds. This is an important
fact but not one-halfso important as the
other fact that their judicious use enables
farmers TO properly cultivate and fertilize
more land than they otherwise could.
No better advice was ever given than
that by Mr. John Ecker, an enterprising
and successful farmer of this town, TO {
neighbor who asked what he should de-
with foul field. "Put on n hoed cToT
and take good care of it." The advice
was followed and that field is to-day a
free from weeds az the average o. farms
Cleaning land with hoed crop offer
this advantage, that the extra labor o
killing the weeds is more than paid b.
the increased value of the product. Blu
to plant and cultivate more, we mus
have larger supplies of manure. Let NJ

A Snake Attacks Man In a Buggy

Mr.. Walters and his wife were return
ing 10 the city, says the Dallas (Ga.)
Commercial, in a two horse buggy from
a trip into the country. About seven
miles from town, on the Mansfield road,
they passed a snake that was lying on
the side of the road, the great size OF
which attracted their attention. After
passing the reptile, Mrs. Walters con-
cIuded he would turn back and kill it.
He turned the team around, drove back
to a point opposite the snake, drew his
pistol and fred at it, but without effect.
The horses, not being used to the report
of firearms, became restless and hard to
control, which caused the attention of
Mr.. Walters to be diverted from the
snake, which ran rapidly to the buggy,
I'D the wheel and on the dashboard, be-
fore the occupants were aware of it. The
snake, when within a foot of the occu-
pants of the carriage, -coiled the lower
part of its body, threw its neck into a
graceful curve, drew back its head, and
was Just in the act of launching its
deadly fangs into Mr.. Walters, when he
fred the second shot. This, though
missing, had the effect TO cause the snake
to lower itself on the tongue of the car
rage. Mr.. Walters then fired two more
shots, one of which took effect, and
caused the reptile to fall from the car.
rage to the ground, and Walters dis
patched it with stone. The reptile was
measured, and found to be over six feet
! long, and was thicker than a mans wrist

Saving the Pork.

l have read with much pleasure your
many valuable recipes from time TO time,
and feel there is a growing interest in the
influence over the home circle. AS it is
the season for pork, l thought would
write few suggestions to housekeepers,
especially those who are just entering
the service and think they know every
thing until they are alone, and have no
mother to go to to inquire of, which was
my Gaze.
First, when your hogs are cold enough
to be stiff, cut out smooth, leaving no
gashes or harbors for the fly; salt well all
your shoulders and middlings. Then, for
young hams, put one teaspoon heaping
full of saltpetre, finely powdered, one
tablespoonful of brown sugar well mixed
and rub on the flesh side and at the hook
end; then salt and rub it in well. Pack
it all in a close bulk, and cover closely.
Salt your jowls, and be sure to lay thep
flesh side up. The heads should be
slightly salted, and likewise the back
bones and the bony pieces should never
be put with your bacon. Six weeks is
long enough to be in salt; hang and
smoke we'll three weeks before can
wasting; wrap every ham in news
paper, and sew your cotton hays very
close, to keep out the fly. The spareribs
never salt, but hang them on nails
around the house where they will keel
wet until used-for salt makes then
hard and dry. The feet and ears should
be laid on a clean plank-not touching

The total quantity of lime taken up
H0Ra the soil of an acre by an average
com crop of so bushels of so lbs. to the
Lusssel, and 5000 lbs. of clover would
not exceed % lbs. A good crop of clover,
5 900 lhs. of hay ia two cuts would
require about 125 lbs. of lime. A crop
of wheat Of Is bushels with $500 lbs. of
straw would not require more than 10
lbs. A fair crop OF potatoes, 5000 lbs.
or $50 bushels at so lbs. to the bushel,
would not need more than 3 lbs. A crop
of 20, 900 lbs. OF beets only lbs, and of
600 lbs of timothy hay about "a lbs. of
lime. When we look little furtherinte
the matter aud see how small proper
ton of lime is actually exported from
the farm in the crops ordinarily sold, and
how large proportion goes back to the
soil from which it came, in the manure,
the little need of taking pains to supply
lime to plants for food will become still
more plainly apparent. On any we'll
managed farm the hay is usually all eaten
by the stock, so thatnone of the lime in
that part of the produce of the farm il
exported; what little is retained by the
young growing animals for the production
of bone substance is more than made
good by the lime in the water whict
the animals drink; in cases where Z
careful comparison has been made
between the composition of thu
manure of a mixed herd of cattle
more lime has been found in the tota
manure than in the total fodder sup
piled, and this excess could have beer
derived from no other source than thu
water. The lime in tho clover and timo
thy is not, then, lost to the farm, if th
manure is cared for in any decent man
neT; the same is true Of the wheat anC
other straw, of the cornstalks and tn
roots. But in the acres yield of Indian
corn, taking the grain alone, there ar
only about two pounds of lime, and il
the wheat but little more than on
pound In the other cereal grains W
: should have similar insignificant quaI
! titles of lime; and even if the potatoe
are sold off the farm, as is often the cas-
to large extent, the stock of lime in tn

> diminished to the extent of only thre
? pounds. At these rates of demand,

Joseph Cooks Ideas on Eternal pm
iShment.

l am not fully ready to speak upon
this subject, as / am not well enouph M,
in what has been said on the Other side
of the water only few weeks since We
knew what Canon Farrar said. When
through with my Boston lectures in
April I shall probsbly write something
on that subject more definite; do not
| expect my views will change any, but
they may be expressed differently on
account of what people abroad have said.
In my lecture on the permanence of
the moral character, expressed my
present views. I believe that in the
domain of moral laws there is point
beyond which it is too late to mend. In
the physical law OF gravitation q ship
may cancer from side to side, and thus
train sailors to become skillful and bold;
but at length 1t goes too far and eapsizes
and sinks. And hundreds of centuries
will not remedy it. In organic law the
same is true. A tree may be cut and
may heal even stronger than before, but
if gashed beyond the heart, it dies; and
no one will expect that centuries of
suffering will bring it back to life.
These two sets of natural laws point
in the same direction, and teach that
there is such thing as being too late to
mend. From analogy, then, we must
conclude that, under the third set, OIL
natural moral law, the same thing hold:
true. The condition of things is such
that an unwiliingnees to accepG goodness
may Tipen into eternal voluntary oppo
sition to it. Under the irreversibi,
natural law, there may exist in the uni

Artificial Zee.

We select from a report in the Lancet,
on ice-makiDg machines" description
Of machine designed to produce ice on
a large scale. A cistern, somew lat like
a tubular boiler, contains some ether,
which is the refrigeratiDg agent. The
vapor escaping from the ether is pumped,
by double-action airpump, into con-
denser surrounded by cold water; thence
the ether, now once more liquid, flows
back 10 the cistern. The evaporation of
the ether causes the cistern to become
intensely cold, and this cod is rapidly
communicated to a strong solution OF
common salt, in which the cistern is
immersed. The very cold brine so OBJ
tanned is caused to circulate through fat,
hollow, and vertical partitions of timed
copper, in a tank filed with pure water.
Ice quickly forms in smooth slabs on the
partitions, and is from time to time
removed as the slabs acquire the requisite
thickness. The ice SO obtained is, of
course, exceedingly pure, and is said to
waste less and cost less than natural ice.
In this machine the ether is condensed
again and again with scarcely any loss,
and the only expenses after the original
outlay are, therefore, for rent, fuel, and
labor.

achieve the primary result mentioned, be-

The mean distance of the sun, as de-
duced by the British astronomer royal,
Sir George Airy, from comparison of
the results obtained by the English tele-
scopic observations of the transit
of Venus, in 1874, is equal to
90 5000 miles. But, as the photo.

up, this estimate must be regarded as
provisional only.
