AGRICULTURE.

FEED For HORSES. There are sun
dry condition powders and tonics
which are often fed to horses and pro-
duce an increase offlesh, but they must
be kept up or the horse will run down
and In the end they will do an injury.
Regular feeding, faithful grooming,
change Of diet, salt always accessi bio,
exercise, even If it be hard work, with
sufficient rest, pure water, pure air in
the stable, and comfort and quiet, will
cause almost any horse properly fed to
lay on flesh, II not to be become fat. A
writer upon this subject, who appears
to we'll posted, says: "Many good
horses devour large quantities Of grain
poor. The food eaten is not properly
assimilated. If the usual food has been
unground hay and grain, nothing but
q change will effect a desirable altera-
ton In the appearance of the animal.
In case oil meal cannot DO obtained
readily, mingle bushel or flax seed
with bushel of barley ,one Of oats and
another bushel Of Indian corn, aud let
it be ground into fine meal. This will
be q tair proportion for all his feed.
Or the meal OF barley, oats and corn,
IN equal quantities., may be first pro-
cured, and one-fourth part OF the oil
cake mingled with 1t, when the meal is
sprinkled OIL cut feed. Feed two or
three times daily, mingled with peck
OF cut hay and straw. If the horse
will eat that amount greedily, let the
quantity be increased until he eats four
or six quarts at every feeding three
times day. SO long as the animals
will eat this allowance,t the many quanti-
ty be increased little every day. But
avoid the practice of allowing a horse
to stand at u rack we'll filled with hay.
In order to fatten horse that has run
down In flesh, the groom should be
very particular to feed the animal no
more than he will eat up clean and lick
tho manager for more.

PLANTS lREIGATING THRMsELvEs.-It
has been shown by the experiments of
the late Prof. Habberlandt, that plants
sometimes irrigate On their own account
and thus draw nutriment from dry
soils. He undertook 4 series of expert
ments on the phenomena of vegetation
OF plants grown in an absolutely dry
SOIL. For this purpose he allowed the
lower portion Of the roots of the plants
experimental on to dip down into dis
titled water, while the upper portion
was retained in a soil SO dry thut tho
plants would otherwise, rs was practi-
cally demonstrated, inevitably be WITH
cred up. The results Of these trials
went to show that the portion OF tho
roots lying In the upper dry stratum OF
soil rich III nutritive constituents of
plant lie does not remain inactive, as
has been generally maintained, but is
chic fly occupied i'll supplying the plant
with the constituents OF It's ash. AS
there is no absolute want OF water, this
being supplied by the lowor pertlon of
the root, The upper portion IL able to
sccrete certain quantity of moisture
which is taken up by the Immediately
surrounding soil, and dissolves its car

up directly by simple endosmosis.

DOMESTIC.

TN DIsHHs.--Dr. Fordos gives. the
result ofsome ex periments Of his on Tin
vessels used in laboratories and hospit.
ais, and even in private families. for
infusion and similar purposes. These
utensils generally contain lead in Ger.
tam proportions, and 1t was therefore
not inexpedlent to learn In how far the
poisonous metal might be injurious to
health In the long run. DR.. Fordos
began by introducing water acidulated
with one per cent. of acetic aoid iuto q
tin juE provided with q lid. After let
ting it stand for few days, he observ-
slight white deposit, which was soluble
In the aoldulated water, and comm munl-
Gated to 1t all the characteristics OF
saturnine solution iodid. of potassium
yielding yellow precipitate, sulphuric
acid white one, and sulphuretted
hydrogen black one. Nevertheless,
the latter test is not reliable, since 1t
also causes black precipltato with q
salt Of tin likewise dissolved In tho
liquid. The existence of salt Of lead
In the white deposit is, however, suffi-
ciently proved. 1t ls confirmed In an
other way; If the inner aides Of the ves-
sci be rubbed with a piece Of clean wet
paper, a solution of iodide Of pt tsssium
will turn 1t yellow. In certain expert
ments crystalized salt Of lead was
detected at the bottom of the jug. In
other series Of experiments, wine and
vinegar were tried they b. tn became
charged with leads as they dissolved the
saturnine salt deposited on the Sides.
Again, tartarlc lemonade, left for
twenty-four hours in the vessels. be-
came impregnated with lead. Hence
DR.. FOrdos concludes that in alloys of
tin and lead, both metals arc attacked,
the latter being generally the first,
when in contaUt with the atmosphere
and aoid liquids, suoh as wine, vinegar,
etc., and that consequently there may
be serious danger In using such alloys
either In the shape of vessels or In tin
ming culinary utensils.
