WHITE WATER-LILY.--IfO our readers
knew how easily the white water lily
could be cultivated, we believe that
very many of them would be quite as
proud of their lily-gardens as or any
Other portion of their premises. Inc
roots, having been procured In the
fall, were kept damp during the en-
suing winter in flOwer-pots. In the
spring tub was made by saving q
substantial barrel In two, and this,only
painted green, was set on brick, put III
the garden, and ore-third filled with
mixture of garden soil, sand ,and we'll
rotted manure. The roots were set IN
this mixture, water was added In small
quantities, and Mt intervals of day or
two, and so gently rs not TO disturb
the earth, until the tub was hlled.
Very soon the handsome round leaves,
four or five inches in diameter; made
their apnearance and filed the tub.
The loss of water by evaporation was
made good from time TO time, and ere
long the blossoms appeared and de-
delighted every one with their beauty.
When cold weather approached, the
water was allowed to dry on almost
entirely and when IT, was thus nearly
gone the tub with Its contents was
placed In the cellar, and watered at in
tervals through the winter. In the
spring the roots were separated, and
about half the increase returned TO the
same tub, in fresh mixture Of earth :;
and they are now brought out earller
than before, about April lst. and bios
som yet more profusely. The pure
white flowers were rs perfect as the
camelia and delightfully."- fragrant,
closing in the night and reOpening In
the morning, ,as Is the won't water-lilies.
The blooms were about two inches in
diameter; not quite SO large as some
OF the specimens in the pond whence
these r. OTIS were first taken, but not
less beautiful nor less fragrant.

SAVING CLoVER-SEED.-The second
crop OF clover is the one for seed. This
should be cut when the majority OF the
heads have turned brown and before
they begin tosheJ off the little seed
pods. While the quantity OF seed de-
pends much upon the weaLhor, The crop
Is largely Increased by moving or feed
ing off the first, or hay crop, early as
possible. The harvesting of the seed
crops may be effected with machine
for the purpose which simply removes
the heads, or the cutting can be done
the same as it is with the grass crop.
When thoroughly cured the crop should
be taken to the threshing floor or barn
and the seeds beaten out with light
fails, or, better still, with threshing
machine especially n clover huller and
separator.

AGRICULTURE.

How CHICKENS GET OUT OF SHELLs.-
Take an egg out Of nest on which a
hen has had her full time, carefully
holding it to the ear; turning 1t around
you will find the exact spot which the
little fellow is picking on the inside of
the shell this he will do until the In
side shell Is perforated, and then the
shell Is forced outward as small scale,
leaving hole. Now, if you will take
one of the eggs In this condition from
under the hen, remove it TO the house
or other suitable place, put 1t in box
or nest, keeping it warm and moist, as
near the temperature of the hen as pos
sible, (Which may be done by laying 1t
between two bottles of warm water
upon some cotton or wool) ,and lay the
glass over the box for nest, then you
can sit or stand as Is most convenient,
and witness the true modus operandI.
Now watch the little fellow work his
way into the world, and you VIII be
amused and instructed as have often
been. After he has got his opening he
commences nibbling motion with the
point of the upper bill on the outside
of the shell, always working to the
right (if you have the large end of the
egg from you and the hole upwards)
until he has worked his way almost
around, say within on0-half of an inch
o per feet circle; he then forces the cap
or but end of the shell oil, and then has
Il chance TO straighten his neck, there
by loosening his legs somewhat, and
so, by their help, forcing the body
from the shell.

STORING CORN FODDER -The succu-
lence OF green cornstalks render Ihem
difficult TO dry thoroughly. TO stow
away uncured corn fodder in stacks or
barns, without precautions to prevent
moulding is unsafe. A good plan is 10
shock the bundle in a convenient place
covering the top or the shock with a
of straw, and binding the top tightly
TO exclude the rain, and leaving the
shock out of doors until used. A
few shocks may be brought in when
needed, and Will be found fresh, green
and in the best of order. Sweet corn
fodder, with many small ears and nub-
bins on the stalks may be covered
and kept in this manner in the best con .
dillon.

SHORT HORN CATTLE.-The short
horns, If we judge by the cattle shows
I'm the Northwest this fall, seem TO be
the favorit0 Of the farmer. This breed
of stock original ted in the valley of the
Tees, England. Ii we are correct in
our understanding, the breed formerly
went by the name OF Tees-water cattle,
Subsequently they were called DurhAms
because they were extensively bred in
that rich English agricultural coun-
try. Originally they were excellent
mixers, and always excelled In being
the best beef cattle in existence. Since
the Messrs. Bates and Booth perfected
the different strains of the blood 1t is
rather doubtful if the cows are as val
liable for the dairy as formerly, but
when crossed with the native cattle
their milking qualities are satisfactory.
The oxen OF this breed are favorites
on the farm. Doclle, handy, obedient
and strong, they are capable of doing
good deal OF work.
