To PREVENT corn from being taken
by birds. Farmers are often subject TO
considerable Inconvenience, and loss by
birds taking up corn when it first makes
its appearance above ground. The
following simple and inexpensive me-
thod of preparing the corn before
planting will be found effectual in pre-
venting this loss. To a gallon OF hot
water add three or four tablespoonfuls
of tar, stir until the tar rs completely
dissolved, then pour in as much corn as
the water will cover, stir the corn un-
til it is slightly coated with the tar,
then drain off the water by holding
board against the top of the vessel and
turning it to one side; add lime or
plaster-paris to dry it, Otherwise, il will
stick together, so that it will be difficult
to drop speedily. This will prevent
domestic fowls from taking the corn
also.

How To GROW GERANIUM CUTTINGS.
Take coarse, clean sand, about three
inches in depth. insert the cuttings
about one to one anu a half inches deep
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, as the dry
ing of the cut end is conducive to root
ing them easily, and they universally
give satisfaction.

AGRICULTURE.

GROWING RoOTs QUICKLY.-The COM
mon garden radish furnishes an excel
lent example of the advantages of rails
ing an esculent root as quickly as pos
sible. Ii the seed is sown on poor soil
early in the spring the growth of the
plants will be very slow and as a 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
mild and agreeable flavor. Unless
radishes 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 devo-
/ ted to raising radishes, special pains
are given to maturing them as quickly
as possible. Sand, pulverized earth
and fine, well rotted manure are mixed
/ together to form a soil, while the best
temperature for fastening growth is
obtained by the employment of glass as
/ in hot bed. As the radish is almost
the only esculent root that is eaten raw,
]
/ in such manner as to insure its being
Juicy and tender. But roots that re-
quire 20 be cooked before they are eat
en-, as turDips, beets, parsnips and car
rots, are superior almost N proportion
to the shortnesss OF time in which they
are raised. If turnips and beets keep
upa slow growth during several months
they will be tough and stringy, and the
former will have a rank taste. If
.rouIh 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-
gested 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.
ed by boiling, the better and more nu-
tritious il 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-
BILE roots is also true of those kinds OF
vegetables whose edible portions con-
sist of stalks, leaves, head, bud and
seeds. Tine quicker asparagus, lettuce
cabbage, string beans, shell beans and
peas are grown the more excellent lney
will be. Cabbage which Is quickly
grown is crisp and of agreeable flavor
and is delicious when eaten raw ia the
= form of cold slaw. If il is slowly
grown, however. it will be tough, OF
somewhat rank flavor, and considera.
bic amount of cooking will be required
TO render it dIgestible. The excellence
of green peas and beans largely de.
pends on the shortness of time in which
they are grown. The sweet corn grown
and canned in a high northern latitude
, is preferred to that produced far.hel
south, probably for the reason that 1t /!
matured more quickly. If green corn
peas and beans ARE quickly produced
they may be readily cooked by steam
ing, which is better than boiling as |
means of preparing them for the table
as il extracts none of the soluble mat
ter they contain.

The Heliostdt. heliostat is an
which, through some slight
modern improvements, carries on an
idea whose origin is lost in antiquity.
1t is an arrangement of mirrors
which the reflection of the
suns rays is made by a code of signals
to convey notes of military movements
to distant points. The plan of working
is very simple. The mirror of the
heliostat is placed so as TO reflect the
suns image to a distant station, and
when the instrument has once been set
the clockwork arrangement suffices to
maintain the mirror in its proper posi-
ton. In this wav the distant station in
question always sees the dazzling ray
reflected from the mirror, except when
the latter is purposely obscured. The
appearance and disappearance of the
bright spot or flash constitutes the sig
mails. The ordinary Morse alphabet
supplies an intelligent code, and no one
out of the line of signals can read or
understand the message. As substi-
tute for the dot and dash, which go to
make up the ordinary written Morse
code, the light is shown for short and
long intervals. The appearance or
nonappearance ofthe light can be no
ticed at ten or twenty miles distance
without the aid of glass.

4 Child'S Hedrt.-The other day Gu
rious old woman, having a bundle in
her hand, and walking with painful eff
fort, sat DOWN on a curb-stone to rest.
She was curious because her garments
were neat and clean, though thread
bare, and curious because a smile cross
ed her wrinkled face as children passed
her. 1t might have been this smile
that attracted a group of three little
ones, the Oldest about nine. They stood
in a row in front of the old woman,
saying never a word, but watching her
face. The smile Frightened, fingered,
and then suddenly faded away, and a
corner of her old calico apron went up
to wipe away a tear. Then the eldest
child stepped forward and asked:
Are you sorry because you haven't
got any children ?''
IL had children once, but they are
all d-dead!" whispered the woman,
sob in her throat.
"l'm awful sorry" said the little girl
as her own chin quivered. "Td give
you one of my little brothers here, but
you see | haven't got but two, and
don't believe I'd like 10 spare one"
"GOd bless you, child-bless you for
ever :" sobbed the old woman, and for
q full minute her face was buried in her
apron.
''But III tell you what III do" Sc
riously continued the child. You
may kiss Us all once, and if little Ben
isn't afraid you may kiss him four
times, for he's just as sweet as candy ~
Pedestrians who saw three well
dressed chi rem mt their arm around
that strange old woman's neck and kiss
her were greatly puzzled. They didn't
know the hearts of children, and they
didn't hear the woman's words as she
rose TO go:
"Oh! children, I'm only poor old
woman, believing had nothing to live
for, but you've given me lighter heart
than Eve had for ten long yearsi'

SCIENTIFIC.

Leatherod.-A new chemical product
has just been brought out under the
name of leatheroid. This name was
selected by its inventors on account OF
its resemblance to leather. 1t is made
of two varieties, one being soft and
flexible like leather, the other hard
like gutta percha or vulcanized rubber,
resembling those materials in its dem
sity, strength and hardness, and like
them is susceptible of high polish.
The leatherold is manufactured from
vegetable fiber by a chemical process,
which is patented. 1t is made in sheets
of twelve feet in length by four feet in
width, and can be made of any desired
thickness. from one-hundredth of an
inch to one inch. The leatherOid has
been thoroughly tested as substitute
for leather in the manufacture Of
trunks and washers; for gutta percha
in combs, napkin rings, &C.; for
whalebone IN whips: for copper in
shoetips; for wood in chair seats; and
also used in the manufacture of friction
pulleys for machinery cams, and in
fact there seems TO be no end to the
uses to which il can be applied.
Leatheroid can be made any color,
though it is usully made brick-red, to
initiate vulcanized rubber; black,
which is used in the manufacture OF
combs and canes, and walnut, which Is
used in chair seats. One great advan-
tages claimed for leatheroid is that it is
cheaper and better than any of the ma
terials which it is intended TO replace.
