Using IN old Tin Cans.

Mr. Thomas +. Hagerty describes, in the
American Machinist, the following plan for
making use Of the old cans which have been
used for fruit and vegetables Collect all the
cans you may require, say 100 quart cans
prepare a bright fire in the kitchen stove,
and have the cans close at hand. Have a
cloth in each hand place a can on the stove
lid and when the solder which holds the top
or bottom to the body begins to melt, place
can on the other lid and remove the first one,
and with an old knife old file, stove-lifter, or
anything at hand, kuocl, of. whichever end
you may have placed next the fire. In most
cases it will drop of. With the cloth in the
left hand hold the can, and with the right
hand wipe the melted solder from the inside
and outside Of the edge quickly before it SETS
Remove the next can and replace IL with
another and repeat the operation until both
ends of the 100 cans are freed from their tops
and bottoms You now have 100 tubes, ~
inches long by I inches in diameter.
These 100 tubes can, with but little skill,
be converted into 81 feet > inches of 4-inch
dfain-pipe, which, to a farmer or house own
er, would be worth more than the original
cost Of 100 cans filled with tomatoes In or
der to prepare them so that the end of one
tube will enter one fourth of an inch inside
of the other, take Il tube in the left hand,
place one edge over the corner of pine Ia
BILE il nothing more convenient is at hand,
and with mallet, hammer, or a piece of
stick, hammer the edge downward, turning
the tube regularly every stroke. Place the
other edge of the tube on the edge of the Ia
BILE and strike it from the inside, turning reg
ulariy. BY this operation one end will be
crimped, and the other enlarged. II requires
but little enlargement to make one end enter
and admit of being driven tightly into the
other. They should be nut together in lengths
Of six tubes. The seams should not come on
n line with each other. To insure strength
the joints might be tackled with soldering
iron, but if they are forced tightly together
they will be water-tght. A coat of common
paint, or tar, inside and outside, would make
this pipe last for years underground, and if
properly packed in the earth it will have am-
pie strength to resist external pressure.
Enough fine solder can be saved from what is
wiped off the joints to mend all the house
hold tinware for lifetime.

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATIoN.-E Education in
every branch of the arts and sciences, trades
and professions, is valuable only as it is pur-
sued with the intention of acquiring knowl-
edge for the actual benefits it confers-the
advantage 1t gives its possessor over those
who have not secured it. The modern meth
cd of studying farming through tire medium
of books, and by the aid of professors, So
called, is all well, provided the student has
been practical cultiyator of the soil, so that
he can appreciate the subject upon which his
thoughts are engaged. And it may he of
much service to the man who afterward be-
comes, not in name only, but in fact farm
er. For a mere graduate Of an agricultural
college to suppose, unless he has been prac-
teal farmer, working with his hands that he
has gathered from books or the training of
his tutors, the necessary knowledge to enable
him to successfully conduct an ordinary farm
Is simply preposterous While he has ac-
quired knowledge of chemistry and of the
nature of soils, and their relation to vegetable
growth, anl may have continued his research
es until he can answer abstruse questions as
to the affinities existing between vegetation
and animal development, still he will find, if
he concludes from this fact that he can run a
farm, that he is sadly mistaken. OF all the
callings to which man has ever turned his at
tenuon, farming requires the most actual
practical experience. The custom in the
New England States, in the olden time, as it
is said, of sending the dull boys of the family
to college and putting the bright ones TO
work on the farm, was a sensible one A boy
of ordinary mind can be educated to the
standard of the so-called learned professions,
or to follow the routine of the professors
chair but it takes a bright brain and an en-
ergetc hand to so manage the soil as to make
it willing profitable servant. --Coi {. S.
Chase at the NEBRASKA State Fair.

CoFFEE IN TYPHOID FEyER.-Dr Guilassee
of the French navy, in recent paper on ty-
phoid fever, says Coffee has given us un-
hoped for satisfaction; after having dspens-
ed it, We find, to our great surprise, that its
action is as prompt as it is decisive. No
sooner have our patients taken few table
spoonfuls OF it than their features become re-
Taxed aud they come to their senses The
next day the improvement is such that We
are tempted to look upon coffee as a specific
against typhoid fever. Under its influence
the stupor is dispelled and the patient rouses
from the state of somnolency in which he has
been since the invasion Of the disease. Soon
all the functions take their natural course.
and he enters upon conyalescence." DIR.
Guillasse gives to an adult two or three table
spoonfuls of strong black coffee every two
hours, altornated with one or two teaspoon
fuls of claret or Burgundy wine. little
lemonade or citrate of magnesia should be
taken daily, and after a while quiniue. From
the fact that malaise and cerebral symptoms
appear first the doctor regards typhoid fever
as nervous disease and the coffee acting on
the nerves is peculiarly indicated in the early
stages before local complications arise

The distance between drains must be de
termined by the nature Of the soil their depth
and the amount of fall A loose, porous soil
will permit water to reach the drains for a
long distance, while tough, compact clay
is almost imperyious to water and requires
the drains to be made much nearer In a
black, loose soil, drains at the depth of four
feet are sufficient at distance of ten rods
apart, but If the land is hard pan or still
clay, to drain it thoroughly the distance apart
should be from four to six rods
But few persons in this part of the coun-
try realize the great advantage that deep
drains have over shallow ones In my extern
slve acquaintance i'll this and ad Joining coun-
ties among drainers, know of but few that
drain to n depth averaging over one and
half TO three feet. Farmers pay taxes on
their hand all the way down (aud on wet lands
1t often amounts TO q rent. but they never
get any agricultural benefit from it any deep
er than they drain, but they do get the bene-
lit Of 1t that deep, even if it is eight feet in
fact, an orchard or vineyard should not be
drained less than that depth The time is
probably not far distant when such shallow
drains will be taken up and put down again
at proper depth. Persons often say that
1t costs too much to drain so deep, when the
fact is the cost is less. For instance it would
cost but very little more to dig two drains to
the depth Of iour feet than it will to dig three
to the depth OF two and half feet, and the
two deep drains will drain fully as much land
as the three shallow, and will drain it much
better ana save the expense Of the third line
OF tile. But the depth of drains is not always
matter of choice, as very often the outlet is
not sufficient, and have very often noticed
that persons are sometimes extremely contra
ry about giving their neighbors above the III
an outlet, and very often spend more time
and money in having about it than would do
the whole work, besides creating bad feel.
ing. In making an improvement Of this kind,
that is to last for all time to come, it is much
better to secure good outlet in the first
place, if it does cost something more, espe-
CHILLY if the land is fiat and you have but lit

RAISING VEBBENAs FROM SEED. seed
may be sown in February, March and April,
in boxes in the house for early bloom, or in
hot-beds; or it may be sown in the open Dor
der in May. 1t is better, however to start
them in the house. Have boxes about three
inches deep, nearly filled with light soil On
this scatter the seeds thinly, and then sift
over them about as much soil as their own
thickness. Press the soil down on to them
with smooth board and then sprinkle the
seed-box with water. Now place your box
in the window. If you can have half doz-
en- bricks on the stove, so that you can put
couple of warm ones under the seed-boX fire.
quently, you will be surprised to see how
much more quickly the seeds will terminate
This is what is called bottom heat, an es-
sentiRl probably the most important of all in
the florists business. Observe that while
there is danger in keeping the soil too wet,
the seed-box must be kept constantly moist
and, as the seed starts quite unevenly, dis
turb the surface as little as possible. To get
strong, stocky plants as soon as they have
made their third leaf, transplant them into
other boxes, at distance each way of say
three inches; and, when warm weather
comes, so you can put them in the garden,
give each plant -four feet of space.

The ClOVr Crop.

The clover crop is one to which the espe-
cial attention of our farmers should be called.
Few farmers raise sufficient clover for their
own best interests, or for the benefit of their
lands. The principal part of the clover
which is sown in this section is mixed with
the common grasses, timothy and red-top.
When thus sown together the full benefit of
the clover is rarely if ever realized, since
whether sown in the spring upon the grass
previously sown in the fall or whether mixed
with the grass seed as sown in the spring, the
clover blossoms so much earlier than the
grass, that it goes to seed before the grass is
ready to NOV. Thus for forage the clover is
lost TO a great extent. However, the deep
tap roots of clover are of great value in run
ming down into the soil, opening that of a
clayey nature to the action of air and water.
When decAyed, clover roots render the soil
more friable and porous, and at the same
time less retentive of water. As these roots
contain large amount of potash, phosphoric
acid and nitrogen, they add much to the fer
tility of the soil. Glover roots run down into
sandy soils in the same manner as in clayey
soils, but with directly opposite mechanical
effect deoaying in soils of the former char
aoter, they render them more retentiye of
moisture and less porous, and aid the water
In ascending from below. In clayey lands

Com OULTURR.-A Western Massachusetts
farmer writes to the Homestead that, from
what he has gathered from experience and
observation in regard to the corn crop he has
come to the following conclusions That or
binary corn should be planted in hills from
80 to 4 feet apart each way that if the stalks
come up close together they are less liable to
send up suckers and can be more easily hood
that early planted corn growing when the
weather is cooler bears larger ears in proper
ton to the stalk than that which is planted
later that it is generally better to put the
manure where the roots will find it than to
trust to damp weather TO carry the manure to
the roots that corn manfred in the hill with
stable manure should not have the hills near
er than four feet, or more than four stalks in
a hill, if planted nearer you get stalks at the
expense of the ears that about 25c. worth Of
good stable manure at s. per cord can gen
orally be relied on to produce one bushel of
corn

CLARK Jamerson of Barre says that an OK or
COW that has gorged itself by eating should
be allowed to drink all the water it possibly
will. Then start the animal and keep it NOV
ing until the action OF the water on the meal
causes the latter TO dissolve, when the mess
will act as physic and soon there will come
relief. The animal should be kept on the
move until completely cleared. Mr. Jamer-
son says that lie knows of several cases where
this treatment WAS tried, and it never failed
to produce the desired effect, and save the
distressed animals lfe.-N. Z. HOaestfdd.
