AGRICULTURE.

GROWING RooTs QUICKLY.-The com
| mon garden radish furnishes an excel
lent example of the advantages of rails
Ing al esculent root as quickly as pos
sible. If the seed Is soWn on poor soil
early In the spring the growth Of the
plants will be very slow and as conse-
quence the roots will be tough. stringy
and rank flavor. If, on the contrary,
a rich. warm soil Is prepared for them,
the seed soon after the cold spring rains
are over and the young plants cultivat-
ed as soon as they are Of sufficient size
the roots will be juicy, crisp and of a
mild and agreeable flavor. Unless
radishcs have attained sufficient size
for the table within five weeks from the
time The seed Is sown they will scarce
ly be fit for eating. In France and
Holland where great attention is dcvo-
ted to raising radisl.es, special pains
arc given to maturing them as quickly
rs possible. Sand, pulverized earth
and fine, well r0ttcd manure arc mixed
together to form soil, while the best
temperature for fastening growth is
obtained by the employment of glass as
In hot bed. AS tho radish Is almost
the only csculcnt root that is eaten raw,
there are special reasons Cor raising 1t
in such a manner as to insure its being
juicy and tender. But roots that re-
quire 10 be cooked before they are eat
en-, as turnips, beets, parsnips and car
rotS, are superior almost III proportion
to the shortnesss of time in which they
arc raised. If turnlps ind beets keep
upa slow growth during several months
they will be tough and stringy, and the
former will have a rank taste. If a
.rOuJh occurs during their period of
growth, these roots will be composed
in part of fibre so hard that it will not
be rendered sufficiently soft to be di-
gestcd even If boiled for several hours.
Long cooking tends to destroy the flavor
and nutl lent qualities of all vegetables
The quicker any vegetable can be cook.
cd by boiling, the better and more nu-
trltious it will be. Vegetables that
have been grown quickly may be quick
ly cooked, and will accordingly be of
fine flavor and of great value for human
or animal food. What is true of edi-
bic roots Is also true of those kinds of
vegetables whose edible portions con-
sist of stalks, leaves, head, bud and
seeds. The quicker asparagus, lettuce,
cabbage, string beans, shell beans and
peas arc grown the more excellent they
will be. Cabbage which is quickly
grown Is crisp and of agreeable flavor,
and is delicious wien eaten raw In the
form Of cold slaw. If 1T Is slowly
grown, however. it will be tough, of
somewhat rank flavor, and a comsidera-
bic amount Of cooking Will be required
to render it dIgestible. The excellence
of green peas and beans largely de-
pcnds on tho shortncss of time In which
they are grown. The sweetcorn grown
and canned in a high northern latitude
is prefer red to that produced farther
south, probably for the reason that it is
maturcd more quickly. If green corn,
peas and beans are quickly produced
they may be readily cooked by steam
ing, which Is better than boiling rs Il
means of preparing them for the table,
rs 1t extracts none Of the soluble mat
ter they contain.

How TO GROW GERANIuM CUTTINGS.
Take coarse. clean sand, about three
inches in depth. insert the cuttings
about one to one and Il half Inches decp
therein; press the sand firmly around
them, and water freely at first; after
wards use water sparingly. One cause
of geranium cuttings turning black is
the keeping Of them too wet. No kind
Of cuttings are better adapted for send
ing by mail than geraniums, rs the dry
ing of the cut end Is conducive to root
ing them easily, and they universally
give satisfaction.

1t has been impossible heretofore to
use nitrous oxide in protracted surgical
operations, for the reason that the pa
tlent finally dies for want Of oxygen.
This has been obviated by causing him
to inhale, In place of the pure gas, Il
mixture with air in very compressed
form. He then obtains the full supply
of air, and the vital process goes on I.
The disadvantage of this Is that there
Is required chamber especially
adapted. The expense of this will
prevent general use, except in hospit-
ais. Nitrous oxide possesses some ad-
vantages over chlorotorm.

An ingenious method of mendlng
broken castings is thus described: 10
insure its success, it is necessary that
the parts to be reunited should be bro
ken entirly across, so that the two parts
shall be Independent. It consists in
heating the two pieces together by a
stream OF molten cast iron until the
surfaces of the fracture and the parts
Immediately adjacent to it commence
to melt. Exactly ut this point, the flow
OF cast iron should be stopped, when
the softened surfaces left behind will
unite in chilling, and if the operation
has been properly conducted, the new
seam will be quite rs strong rs any
other part of the piece. 1t is obvious,
IN addition to the precaution above
named, that the melting should extend
over the whole Of the fractured sur
faces, and to prevent the actul running
down of the pieces, the thickness Of
the casting must not be too small.
