WATERING HoRsEs.-There is great
diversity OF opinion as to how often
horses should be watered during day,
whether in summer or in winter. We
have an article now before US of a
writer of distinction as an agriculturist,
who advocates frequent watering of
work horses, Is a renewer of the yigor
of the animal. We cannot agree with
him. We think both man and beast
are generally watered too much. Men
and horses at hard work in warm
weather perspire just In proportion to
the quantity of fluids taken into the
stomach. Frequent drinking i'm hot
weather, according TO our experience,
emasculates instead of refreshes Some
years ago, being at Cape May, y. j., in
driving out in one of the stand coaches
of the place, on a very hot day, We
asked the driver how it was that his
horses perspired so little, while horses
of private carriages, going at slower
speed, were covered with foam. He
replied that he watered his horses three
times day only, though he spOnged
their mouths frequently: while the
private drivers watered their horses
whenever they stopped. He said, and
it seemed TO us very sensible, that the
frequent watering of horses effected no
good purpose, while it made them very
uncomfortable and lethargic. Horses,
no matter what their work was, did not
need watering Oftener than three times
a day. Our own experience with hor-
ses all our life is TO the same effect.

4 Plague of Locusts.

The Georgian town of Jelizwetpol
near Tiflis has suffered plague of To-
Gusts almost as bad As that which af-
llicted Egypt in the days of Moses On
the 20th of April the insects invaded
the town in such numbers that the
merchants had TO shut up their shops,
and walking about the streets was ex-
ceedingly difficult. The Russian auth
critics ordered the inhabitants to make
a united effort to kill the pests, but the
generous people refused, believing it a
sin to destroy locust, until the auth
critics threatened to punish every
householder who failed to deliver daily
a given weight OF dead insects. The
canals were filled with locusts, so that
water for drinking and washing could
only be obtaine d by straining. The
houses swarmed with the creatures,
and many families went week with
out bread because their ovens were lit
orally filled with them. They tried in
vain to drive the locusts away by light
ing the holy candles and burning in
cense. The Armenian priests regarded
the plague as visitation of God, ard
brought from neighboring town the
bones of Jacob, which they carried
through the streets of the afflicted city
in procession, fairly wading through
masses of dead and living locusts as
they marched along with the relics of
the patriarch. The energetic measures
taken by the police finally abated the
evil. but not until the gardens, ORCH
ards, and vineyards had been stripped
bare, and the people had suffered for
more than 4 week.

Plaster Of Paris. - Plaster of Paris
may be made 10 set very quick by mix
ing it in warm water to which little
sulphate OF potash has been added.
Plaster of Paris casts, soaked in melted
paraffine, may be readily cut or turned
in a lathe. They may be rendered
very hard and tough by soaking them
in warm glue size until thoroughly
saturated, and allowing them to dry.
Plaster of Paris mixed with equal
parts of powdered pumice stone makes
a fine mould for casting fnsible metals ;
the same mixture is useful for incasing
articles TO be soldered or brazed. Casts
of plaster of Paris may be made TO
initiate fine bronZes by giving them
two or three coats of shellac yarnish,
and when dry applying coat of mas
tic varnish, and dusting on fine bronze
powder when the maslic varnish be-
comes sticky. Rat holes may be effect
ually stopped with broken glass and
plaster OF Paris. The best method OF
mixing plaster of Paris is to sprinkle
it into the water, using rather more
water than is required for the batter /;
when the plaster settles pour off the
surplus water and stir carefully. Air
bubbles are avoided in this way.

A, .m.r,can.. Fight for Life.

Josenb Brewer, an American citizen
rss;ded for several years with his fami-
IL on the productive island of La Mocha'
at the mouth of Tirural river, which
he had rented from the Chilian Govern
ment. This island is situated in lat. %
deg. % min, lon. deg. D., and MI
Brewer was rapidly transforming IL
into a valuable and productive farm.
Several varieties of wood, oils and hsh
were abundant, and were exported anu
sold not only TO Chill but throughout
South American countries. Two OF
three vessels were employed constant
ly by Mr.. Brewer to carry on mis- busi-
ness. He had already imported from
the United States steam engines, saw
mills, agricultural implements, and
numerous other elements of industry TO
cultivate the land. The island La Mo-
cha. which before Mr.. Brower's arrival
was a vast forest and filled with wiid
beasts, was converted through MI
Brower's energy into an attractive gar
den. Mr.. Brewer was married 10
yery handsome and accomplished
American lady and was the father Oh
two children. Several months ago ne

hundred natives TO work as laborers In

nutritious and is grown in abundance
in the country. This was the diet Of
fered by Mr.. Brewer to his men, bu
the latter were not pleased with it, and
demanded potatoes instead. Mr.. Brow
er told them he had none. and of course
was unable to accommodate them. The
mob of native barbarians then became
violent, and began furious attack up
on Mr.. Brewer and his defenceless
family. He bravely fought for some
time, defending the lives of his dear
ones, but at last after killing thirteen of
his assailants, he fell victim with his
family, TO the unjust rage of the saw
ages. They then plundered the house
and carried off every valuable article
they found on the island. Selling one
of Mr.. Brower's vessels, they embark
ed a nd sailed for parts unknown.

Elects Of QUiRiRe or the HeGriHg.-It
is well known fact TO medical men
that there exists a great prejudice
among a large number of people
against taking quinine, the idea being
very prevalent that prolonged use OF

use the common expressiOn) that ii
gets into the bones" As regards the
former belief, DIR. Roosa, of New ! ork, q,
has recently been collecting and exam
lining the evidence as far as possible,
and has come TO the conclusion that In
some cases there really is permanent
nervous affection of the ear produced
which justifies the opinion held by the
laity. Hitherto physicians have gen.
orally disdelieved this, and ascribed the
notion to prejudice.

SCIENTIFIC.

PjttjHg IA S1i7H-Po,.-Mr. Gregory
Of Merchants College, Bisckrool, he
lieves that "pitting," the sad and per-
manent result OF smallpox, ought
rarely be seen in any civilized COM
munity. He starts with these facts,
that poor people are pItted least, high
er-class people are pitted most, and no
class of people are pitted under their
dress. Poor people have less light in
their homes, the higher class plenty of
light, and under the dress there is less
light than in either case. The explain
aIIon is a scientific one. The sunlight
consists of three primary colors. The
red, the blue, and the yellow rays have
distinct and characteristic properties.
The yellow gives us light, the red gives
us heat and The blue actinism. Ii Is the
actinic influence OF the blue rays
which, in Mr.. Gregory's theory, causes
"pitting." No seed will germinate,
and young plants will soon perish, II
the chemically active rays, that is, the
actinic rays, are filtered from the sun
light. a yellow blind drawn ovor a
window will absorb all the actinic rays.
The pms of yariOlar pustules absorbs
by its yellow medium the actinic rays,
which results in corrosiOn of the ten
der flesh at the base, and thus leaves
the dreaded permanent "pittIng."

A trdter-leUel indicator has been in
troduced at the bennington New Wa
ter-works, England, that serves to show
at the 'engine-house the level OF the
water in the reservoir, which is half a
lhile away. Nature says that ii may be
made serviceable for automatically
announcing the condition of large
rivers, &c. The indicator has a dial,
/ on which are divisions corresponding
! to the rise and fall of the water TO be
reg sistered, and hand on the dial
points TO that division which denotes
the height the water may stand at any
time in the reservoir. y single line OF
telegraph wire communicates between
the indicator in the engine-hOuse and
the apparatus at the place where the
water is accumulated. This apparatus
is so constructed that for every foot OF
rise of the water one pole OF the bat
terry is brought into connection with
the line for a certain space OF time, and
the current from the battery, actuat-
ing the indicator, causes the hand TO
move to the requisite distance round
the dial. When the water falls, the
opposite pole of the battery connects
with the line, and this is made TO move
the hand on the dial in contrary di-
rectiOn. The apparatus at the leser-
vo;r is controlled by an ordinary float
and weight placed in the water. \
modification of this indicator might he
employed with advantage by the Signal
Service.

BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING.-But-
ter mould well; take any stale bread
crusts or cake, and CRATE or crumble IL !;
put layer of crumbs an inch thick in
the mould then strew some jam or sui
tana raisins, then layer of crumbs.
and so on until the mould is full; then
pour equally over it 4 custard made as
follows: Beat up one egg, add tnm-
bier or breakfast-cupful of milk to it,
then a tablespoonful Ia of sugar and lit
tie grated nutmeg. 1t requires TO be
poured slowly into the mould, that the
crumbs may absorb the whole. Bake
it about twenty minutes or half all
hour, according to the heat of the
oven.

The Use OF WATER IN Planning
1t Is very common TO throw water
around the roots of tree at planting,
without stopping TO inquire why. I'm.
less the soil is extremely dry, in the
spring, and the tree has already COM
menced TO grow, water does more harm
than good. And right here it may as
well be said, if dry weather ensues af-
ter planting so as to affect the tree, dc
not sprinkle every day, but remove two
inches of the surface over the roots and
pour water enough to go clear down to
the lowest roots-replace the earth and
mulch with a little hay, or grass, or
tanbark, or something to prevent rapid
evaporation. Seldom will any more
water be needed.

Clearing ont To,PedOes 1t is known
that dynamite torpedOes of from 100 Ia
200 pounds will ignite one another 4
sunk in ten feet of water, at intervals
of 800 feet, when one OF them is eX-
ploded. Gun-cottOn tOrpedoes are con-
sidered 10 be somewhat less sensitive.
1t is upon this fact of the cOmmunica-
bility of ignition from torpedo TO tor
pedo that the method of clearing a
channel of torpedoes is based. A pin
mace, taking along n bundle of insul-
ated electric wires, starts from vessel
to the place where the torpedoes are
supposed TO be LAID. Near the first
torpedo charge of dynamite or guu-
cotton, connected 10 the electric wires,
Is dropped from the pinnace, and when
the pInnace has retreated sufficiently
far, the charge is exploded with the
effect of discharging the submarine
explosives in its neighbOrhOod. Moth
ing very accurate has p Yet been ascer-
tanned with regard to the influence of
depth of water, character of explosives,
etc. upon such countermining.

The imicallr boosters. II o h n Y
Banks Is a small lad in size, but his ca
paci Y for unadulterated mischief is OF
great magnitude. \ neighbor came in
one day to chat with his mother, a
near-sighted woman and their CONVEX
s.tiOn turned upon chickens. Mrs.
Banks lJOhnny's ma remarked how
amicably her two roosters behaved.
''Tney never had fight since they
were hatched,' said she: ''tis real
pleasure for them 10 lead 4 peaceful
life
JOhnny's eyes sparkled with antici-
pated fun; he sauntered INTO the yard,
caught one OF the roosters and placed
4 collar of pasteboard around his neck,
bristling up his feathers by the pro-
cess As if he meant to fight, the collar
keeping the feathers erect. Then ne
served the other sim lirly, and let
them run. The next instant the two
lifelong friends, as if to give the lie 70
their mistress. were eXerting them
selves vigorously in the endeavor to
annihilate each other, while Johnny
went in and told his ma that some
strange rOoSters were in the yard fight
ing like mad, Both women ran out,
and his mother ran to chase them
away; when she came nearer, how
ever, she exclaimed:
Goodness. they are our two roos-
ters! What on earth has come over
them TO get 10 fighting"
Dunno, guess they felt like it, re-
marked the innocent youth, viewing
their frantic efforts in apparent amuse-
ment. His ma separated them, bul
they were at il again the next me-
ment. She finally parted them by
penning one Of them in the coop. She
returned TO the house, but her neigh

AGRICULTURE.

A FARM DEED.-It is highly impor-
tant that every farmer should know
exactly what deed for farm conveys.
OF course, every one knows that 1t con-
veys all the fences standing Oh the
farm. but all might not think il includes
all the fencing stuff, posts, rails, etc.,
which had once been used on the fence,
but had been taken down and piled up
for future Use again in the same place.
But new fencing material just bought
and never attached to the soil, would
not pass. So piles of hop poles stored
away, if once used on the land. have
been considered part of it: but loose
boards or scaffold poles laid loosely
across the beams of the barn and never
fastened would not be, and the seller OF
the farm might take them away. Stand
ing trees, of course, pass as part of the
land; so do trees blown down or cut
down and still left i'm the woods where
they fell, but not cut or corded up for
sale; the wood has then become per-
sOnal property. If there be any man
ure in the barny1Td, or in a compact
heap ready for immediate use, the buy
er ordinarily takes that also as belong
ing TO the farm; though it might not
be so if the owner had previously sold
il to some other party. and collected ii
in heap by itself. Growing crops al
so pass by a deed of farm unless they
are expressly reserved, and when il is
not intended to convey these il should
be stated in the deed itself; a mere
oral agreement to tn AZ effect would not
be valid in law. Another mode is to
stipulate that possession is not to be
given until some future day, in which
case the manure may be removed before
that time. As to the buildings on the
farm, though generally mentioned on
the deed, 1t is not absolutely necessary
that they should be. A deed of land
ordinarily carries all the buildings TO
the gransor, whether granted or not;
and this rule includes the lumber and
timber in any old building that has been
taken down or blown down, and has
been packed away for future use on the
farm. But if there be any buildings
on the farm built by some third person,
with the farmers leave, the deed would
not convey these, since such buildings
are personal property, and do not be-
long 10 the land owner to convey. The
real owner thereof might move them
off, al hough the purchaser of the farm
supposed he was buying and paying
for all the buildings on it. His only
remedy in such case would be against
the party selling the premises. As a
part of the buildings conveyed, of
course, the window blinds are includ-
ed, even il they be at the time taken off
and carried 10 painters shop to be
painted. Ii would be otherwise if they
had been newly purchased and brought
into the house, but not yet attached or
fitted TO it. Lightning rods also go
with the house if a farmer is foolish
enough TO have any on his house. \
furnace in the cellar. brick or portable,
is considered part of the house, but
an ordinary stove with loose pipe
running into the chimney is not.

admired and valued, and what wonders
of cultivation they would induce !.
As il is, one very seldom sees ''cur-
rant tree" as they are called in Eng
land. so taken care of by its owner as to
be able 10 show what grand returns il is
capable of making. We neglect the
bush because of lis readiness TO yield
fruit under any circumstance and in
all seasons. We stick row of plants
in some out of the way place, crowd
ing them beyond possibility of develop
ment, and leave them exposed TO rob
berry by weeds, grass, sprouts and in
sects, giving them no food, but annually
strip of what fruit they are able under
these circumstances TO give us. and
scold about its being small and tasteless.
| know bush that is more happily
situated. 1t has at least five feet square
of good soil all to itself-no large tree
or plant being near enough either to
cut off light or 10 send roots into its bed
of soil. Every autumn shovelful of
good manure is scattered over these
twenty-five square feet and every inch
a mutch of clippings of grass, or some
similar litter, Is put on thick enough to
suppress weeds and retain moisture.
Ii has several stems. Grass is preven-
ted from growing up between them by
pads of rhubarb leaves, or brown paper,
or the like, pushed down between them.
Some pleasant, leisure day of winter
the pruning shears are taken out, and
the whole exterior is thinned so that
each shoot is at least six inches from
any other, in order that its leaves may
be able 10 expand in full light, un-
shaded by others. Beside this, sprouts
from the collar are pinched as they is
sue, excepting any that have full room,
and hellebore is used early in May.
This bush yields bucketful of currants
every year, and such currants, for
size, brilliancy and excellence of flavor,
as many have never seen.
