SCIENTIFIC.

Ocean Storm Trdeks.-PTOf. LOOmis'i
examination of the storm tracks OF the
North Atlantic In lS74-'75 showed that
on an average only eighteen storms 9
year car be traced from the United
States TO Europe; that nearly all OF
these pursue 4 nOrtheasterly course and
pass considerably to the north of Scot.
land; and that the probability OF q
storms passing from this country and
striking the English coasts Is only one
In nine. The storm chart No. 4, Just
Issued by General Myer, of the Signal
Service Bureau, contains the tracks OF
eight storms crossing the Atlantic in
the first two months Of the present
year, and confirms Professor LOomis's
deductions. OF the storms noted one
only struck the English coast, two
passed across France and over Spain
the rest curved toward the Pole, and
passed several hundred miles 70 the
north OF the British Isles. By the reg
ular publication of these charts Gener-
al Myer Is doing admirable work in
promoting the study of meteOrology as
a science, and thoroughly deserves the
compliment paid him by the Vienna
Meteorological Congress. The perma-
nent committee of that body has just
recommended to a proposed second con-
gress me adoption of General Myers
system, and its extension throughout
the world.-How far storm tracks can
be predicted is yet a moot point. The
plan adopted by M. BrounOw, Of the
Russian Marine Department, is as fol-
lows; He lays down on a chart for s a.
IN. the regions of rise and fall of the
barometer during the previous night,
and joins the central points of these
areas by what he calls the difference
line," laying down also the known
track of the storm for the preceding
twenty-four hours. These two lines in
general intersect, and the direction of
motion Of the ceutre for the day sue
ceeding the date of the chart makes
with the difference line an angle which
Ia greater in the proportion of thirteen
to ten than the angle made with this
difference line by the original track OF
the storm.

LIME DEMONSTRATIONS IN KETTLES
When there is much lime In the iron
tea-kettle, set it on the stove or on the
fire without any water in it, and let it
stay there until red-hot; then take it
off and set it on the ground to cool,
when the lime may be taken out easily.
To remove lime from tea-kettles where
hard water is used set the kettle out
doors and let it freeze over night. In
the morning thaw and rap off. Boil
clabber in the kettle two or three times
If it will not scrape off, let it stand a
while. The deposit of the crust in ket-
ties may be prevented by placing an
oyster shell in the kettle, The parti-
cles of lime will adhere to the shell.

AGRICULTURE.

DRY Cows.-It Is q common practice
among some dairymen TO give their
COWS, while dry, but scanty living
When q COW ceases 10 give milk or Is
dried up, any feed is considered good
enough for her. ] think this Is a great
mistake, and the result Is, a diminished
product of milk both in quantity and
quality when she does come In. There
Is a large draft on the system TO sustain
the calf while the COW is carrying 1t,
and TO keep the Gov In good condition
feed Is as important as when she is Civ
Ing milk. Its my opinion that a dol
lars worth Of food when the COW is
dry Is worth one dollar and a half's
worth after she ONE in. An animal
In poor condition cannot digest as much
food as n In good condition. If the
COW is poor when she comes in she will
not digest enough Of food to support
the system, and at the same time to
make q large quantity Of milk. The
practice Of turning cows out on poor
feed while dry, expecting TO make up
when they come H., by good feed, is a
very uneconomical one and will not be
followed by good and careful dairy
men. The way / treat my cows when
they get a calf is as follows: In the
summer time l keep them In a stable
for two days, feed good hay, give one
quart Of wheat bran morning, noon,
and evening. In the winter time i
keep them three days in the stable, and
with such treatment ! never had a sick
COW. My father kept COWS fOrty-iye
yaare and he alwaVR gave them rye
flour in the water; he never lost a SIN
gle cow, and he owned as high as
thirty different cows In one year.

Some experiments have been made by
NJ. Wolfe on the radiation Of incande-
scent platinum, the result of which
may be useful TO persons engaged in
e~ndeavoring to produce serviceable
electric light by incandescence. The
radiation was measured between 900 de-
grees and l,775 degrees. The intensity
of a given radiation does not increase
indefinitely with the temperature, but
passes through a maximum, and then
decreases to a point where it becomes
insensible. The luminous heat of fused
platinum transmitted through alum is
l 40 of the total heat transmitted
through rock salt.

SwELLED LEGS IN HoRsEs.-Partial
or local debility is generally the cause
of horses legs swelling over night in
the stable. When swelled legs occur
In a horse that is thin and impover-
ished, debility must be counteracted to
promote a cure, by feeding somewhat
literally. IL is aided also by giving
tonics, such as half a dracAm of pow
dered sulphate %afiron, and two drachms
of powdered gentian root, mixed in the
food once daily. Smart handwriting
and b%andaging should be employed, for
which purpose strong wooden cloths OF
any kind may be made use of, but fan
mel forms the best bandage, when
evenly an firmly applied by means of
a roller four yards in length, and four
inches in breadth. Such bandage may
be applied every evening, as long as
needed. Its application should always
be preceded by smart friction of the
limbs, and instead of fastening them
with strings it is better to use strong
pins.

To KEEP A HORSE FROM RUBBING ITS
TAL.-This habit, which spoils the APP
pearance of some horses, Is ca used by
scurf on the skin of the tail, or by
worms In the rectum. The first can be
remedied by a thorough washing with
borax. Carbolic soap is also excellent.
A horse which has formed the habit of
rubbing will probably keep it up for
awhile after the cause is removed
Greasing the anus, and Swinging the
the rectum with a mild decoction of
tobacco, will relieve these parts and
kill the worms, but the rubbing will
doubtless be kept up for a time. To
prevent Disagreement of the tail, nail
q plank at the back side Of the stall,
with the edge projecting toward the
the horse, at a height just opposite the
things. With this obstruction the
tail cannot touch the sides Of
the stable. Another preventive is to
fasten a rope at the back end of the
partition of the stall and attach it to a
rope hanging down from the ceiling
directly In the rear of the tail, and
then tie the other end to the partition
on the other side of the horse. When
he comes out of the stall the rope may
be slack enough to allow the horse TO
back up u step or two, and being sus-
pended from the floor overhead, it can
not fall down and will not allow the
animal to get entangled. 1t may be
kept taut by having the perpendicular
rope fastened considerably in the rear
enough to draw it.
