Treatment of Frosted Plants.

That frost is deadly enemy OF lite
ia a well established truth; that if IL
an extreme degree, and Of long con-
tinuance it is destructive Of all life,
does not admit Of question. The de-
gree of frost necessary 10 destroy the
life of vegetable, varies with sl-
most every species, as well ~ with
every variation in the surrounding
conditions. That every degree ol
frost does not kill all vegetables, il
proved by the fact that thousands Of
plants do survive more or less freez-
Ing. Whether the freezing of the sap
in plants necessarily and invariably
results in the death Of such plant, is a
question upon which the leading veg"
etablc PSYCHOLOGISTS Of the world seem
to be shout equally divided. BY one
party it is held that the cougslaiion Of

Bloatipg In Cattle.

A. H. H., Reno, Kansas, Query
Please inform me what to do for cattle
when they get too much green corn.
A neighbours broke into his field and
four have died. They got down,
could not get up; we're bloated some
before dead and after. Could not raise
their hind parts from the ground. Ap'
pear to be in a great deal of pain.
Reply Green food, hastily consum-
ed, often causes fermentation before
it is properly prepared for Illumination,
and in such casea carbonie acid gas is
eliminated. The disease runs its
course very rapidly: hence aid should
be quickly extended. II medicines
are not at hand, or could not be had
soon, recourse must be bad at once to
puncture OF the paunch. This operas
ton is properly performed with an 10"
strument called trocar, which should
always be inserted 10 the animals left
flank. The usual direction for snding
the proper place is. TO measure eight
inches downwards from the end OF the
bones of the loin. and then the central
point between the projection OF the
hin and the last rib. Here the trocsr
may be inserted without fear, in q
slauting, forward and downward direc'
ton, at al angle of about forty-f
degrees. In the absence ola trocar, q
Hong bladed pen-knife may be used, put
Ting it in to the end Of the handle, and
Int should be held in this position aslon2
as air escapes. On account of the es'
cape of particles Of TODD and gas into the
abdominal cavity, where it is apt to pro-
duce fatal inflammation, the use of
knife is not to be recommended. BY
using trocar, every thing that may es
Icape from the punch, will be carried
outside, through the canula or sheath
Of the trocar, which remains inserted 80
long as gas escapes. When the ANNA
Ii, near at home, or when medicines are
within easy reach, their administration
should not be delayed. The remedies
generally employed are such as neutral
lize or combine with..the gases formed IN
the pauuch. The most valuable o.
these are liquor ammonia, carbonate o.
ammonia, or aromatic spirit Of ammo
nia. Half an ounce Of the first named
may be gwen eyeryhalf hour in pint
Of cold watef. Oftbe aromatic spirits
of ammonia, two or three ounces may
be given in . pint Of cold water every
half hour. The carbonate OF ammonia
may be given m = doses Of an ounce IN
half a pint Of cold water. II permanent

ted and these must be combatted with
chlorine, administered in the form OF
chlorineted lime, In doses oftwo to four
drachms, dissolved in pint Of cold wa
ter, and repeated every hour. After a
severe attack of bloating, it is always
advisable to give purgative, such as a
pound of Glauber's salts dissolved in
quart Of warm water, and to which
should be added two ounces Of ground
ginger. Only small quantities OF PUPPY
or steamed food should be given during
day or two. A trocar of proper size
and make, may be obtained from DR..

Naked FallOw.

Following land is wasteful practice
except for the purpose OF cleaning foul
land by Kidding it ofwceds. So when a
fallow is resorted to for this purpose, as
soon as weeds fail TO cover the soil, it
should be seeded to some crop that will
cover and shade the soil. The old time
naked fallow, is advocated only by that
class OF farmers who do not believe in
progress or that this generation know
more than the last. 1t was well enough
for the ancients with their slack system
of cultivation to advocate a naked fall
low, and those who cling TO the notion
that a naked fallow is the most econom-
ical way TO rcnovate an i'll titled field,
may take many good lessons if they
would from progressive agriculture. But
they will not. They do not believe IN
book farmin'." A green fallow is
undoubtedly good thing to worn land.
The blowing dlsintegrates the soil and
renders it mellow. The crop sown 10
be subsequently turned under, shades
the land and facilitates the formation OF
nitrous elements. one Of the most yalu>
able to the soil. and the crop whatever
it may be, when turned under, acts both
mechanically and chemically. Mechan-
ically in mellowing and disintegrating
the soil through the vegetable matter
contained, and chemically in reaction
from the decay of the organic matter.
Our best farmers do not now believe in
the naked fallew. They cannot afford
to allow land to be idle so long as is re-
quired, especially since they have found
as a rule that this naked fallow is abso-
lutely detrimental 10 the soil. If the
soil must he cleaned Of weeds they sup
pliment this growth with something to
shade the ground as densely as possible.
They substitute rotation in which grass
and clover forms an important integer
from its we'll known renovating power.
They save every shovel full Of manure
possible, to assist the fertility of the soil,
and above all read such agricultural
journals as reach most Complementary
and practically, new facts IN agrecultur-
al progress that are weekly being made
apparent. Thus while reaching maxi
mum crops they get them at a minimum
expense, and are not under the necessl-
ty of summer following. They have
found that clean kept field Of corn is a
good preparation for wheat as well as
that the stalks are protection in win
ter. They have found that clover ley
will bring back soil to granular con-
slstence, so to speak. that has by bad
cultivation been allowed to run togeth-
err. In fact they have found out many
thing by reading and observation IN adj
vance of their old fogy neighbors, who
do not believe in taking time by the
forelock," but depend upon following
their more progressive neighbors, but
not until they have reaped the benefit
of their careful reading and superior
tact. They still Cling however to the
old time naked fallow, simply because
their fathers believe in it. The wise
men know better.

CHOOSING SIZED CoRS.-The season
of harves. is the proper time to select
seed corn. First look for such ears as
being perfect in form. Small cobs are
the best keepers. as the cob contains
so large quantity Of moisture that the
ear Is liable to retain dampness. A
sound ear that has ripened early, with
grains full and perfect, and medium
size scb, is the best for seed. Store
tho ears in dry place from rats and
mice, and whore an sven temperature
can be maintained. Let the grain re-

The Mark Lane Express says, that the
wheat crop of Great Britain will not ex-
coed 80, 600, 900 bushels (the average is
about ll2, 900, OOO); 30 that instead Of
50, 900, 900, the importation will have to
be liz, 900. 900, OF which 100000 are
expected from this country. The Ag-
ricultural returns OF Great Britain for
1879 give the following acreage, as COM
pared with the preceding year:

In live stock cattle have gained slight

ary,-in 1873 there were 2S,4O6, 2o6,

have fallen of more than Is per cent
from 2, s43, 24S to 1901 AGA. The Gov
eminent enumeration in Ireland shows
a decrease in the area under cultivation
of so, 2l7 acres since 1873.
These figures mean distress which
would be famine if it were not for the
facility and cheapness with which pro-
ducts are now transported. 1t is
thought that with the restrictions upon
American stock, that dairy farmers and
cattle dealers may for the present hold
their own. That the distress among
British farmers is real, the followin g
figures showing failures of farmers there
will prove, In 1870, there were 229
failures IN 1875. 354 ; in 1876, 4SO

the night Waterman discovered blaze
| issuing from ono corner of the dry kiln
The fire alarm was quickly sounded, and in
a very short space of time aid was quickly on
hand, the prison hose run out, and the
flames extinguished. The efficiency of the
water works and the fire department at the
prison again deserve praise for the manner
in which the flames were subdued and the
fire extinguished without the aid of the
fire department, which was on hand and
ready to lend aid if needed. The cause
of the fire is almost unaccountable,
owing to the fact that the
pipes conducting the steam to the kiln are
of iron. Owing to overwork in working a
large water pump during the time of the fire
one of the boiler hues sprung aleak, in con-
sequence of which work was suspended in
the prison Yesterday.
