SEEDING FIR IMMEDIATE PAsTUKE.-
On land plowed last fall, or in corn
stalks, we would advise sowing, as soon
as tho land Is in order In spring, u
bushel of oats per acre, with peck of
timothy, ten pounds of red clover, two
Of white. and a few pounds Of blue
grass. Keep of the cattle till the oats
have covered the ground; then, If you
do not stock too heavily, you will have
pasture continuously. Seeding down
on spring plowing Is uncertain, if the
season Is dry. The increased interest
In cattle-growing will demand a largely
increased acreage In grass, and many
farmers, we find, arc. needing pastur-
age the coming summer who have
made no move so far toward It. We
have tried tho above plan and succeed
cd very we'll. The oats disappear in
July, but the timothy will then be
abundant.

Electricity Versus Gas.-Five pounds
of gas coal will yield 2B cubic feet of
gas, which, If burned in five gas bur
ners of the best construction, will give
from 20 to ~ candles each, or 100 can
dies to 10 candles In the aggregate.
Twelve Edison lamps produce l2O can
dies and the five gas burners produce
100 to ITO candles, with all equivalent
expenditure of fuel. If each apparatus
and system could be worked with
equal facility and economy, this would
or course show something in favor of
the electric light; but when in fact
everything in this regard is against the
electric light, which demands vastly
more machinery, and that OF a more
delicate kind, requires more skilful
management, shows more liability to
disarrangementand waste, and presents
an utter lack Of the storage capacity
which secures such vast efficiency,
convenience and economy In gas, then
this relatively tritling economy disap-
pears or ceases to have my controlling
Importance In the practical relations of
the subject.

WATERING IN a DRY TIMH.-In the
summer dr0uYhts which now ana then
occur 1t Is common to see persons
everywhere aC work watering the gar
den to keep things alive till the regu-
lar rains come. 1t Is the experience of
all, that the moro it gets tho more it,
wants, and thus on the whole 1t does lit
tic good. Vet wat cr can be so given as
10 be free from this objection. 1T is the
hardening Of the surface which causes
the evil, and II hard, compact surface G
always dries out faster than loose
one. The proper way Is to take the
earth away Tor few inches around the
plant to be watercd, so as to make Il
sort OF basin, and into this pour the
water, letting it gradually soak away.
After it has all disappeared and the
surface gets little dry, then draw the
earth back again which has been mis-
placed to make the basin. This will
make Il loose surface over the watcrcd
part, which will preserve it from dry
ing out rapidly. Tomutoes, cgg-plants,
cabbages and other things OF this char
actcr, watcrcd in this way will need no
renewal OF water for several weeks. 1t
is slow way Of getting such work
done, but it is the only sure way Of
doing it.

AGRICULTURE.

RESUsCErAfING CHILLED Lambs
The season Of ca silly lambs Is at hand,
and 1t Is a season Of the year when they
are liable, In some instances, to be
chilled. When lambs are chilled it Is
difficult to revive them, even by gentle
rubbing, warming by the stove, wrap
ping III old flannel, and other old time
methods. We have been for some time
thinking over the matter, and now sug.
Sest another plan OF treatment. The
old flannel and bushel basket, or sub
stitute, will still be required after tho
lamb is taken out Of tho bath. When
the lamb is chilled, prepare pail two
thirds full Of warm water, say 90 deg.
F., or rs warm a, the foot (not tho
hand will comfortably bear. Put the
lamb into this bath, all except It's head,
for five to ten minutes, according to the
effect 1t has OH him. If he rcvives In
five or six minutes, take him out; If he
revives slowly, keep him In about ten
minutes. lle Will show any revival by
kicking and struggling. OF course the
head must be held by some one while
The rect Of the body in under water in
tho pail. When the lamb Is taken out,
hole 1t up gently, in warm place, by
the fore legs and head, allowing the
water to drain Off; then wipe over
gently to dry; wrap In old hannel or
other woolen, and put in the basket, In
a warm place. We think this plan Of re-
suscitating chilled lambs will work
pretty well (best in the hands Of tho
farmers witc), because the " arm water
will quickly and equally warm every
part OF the skin, thus egualizing the
circulation In all parts quickly and ef-
fectually. The lamb should not be OK
posed to cool or cold air till thoroughly
dry. If the lamb Is able to suck, tho
eve may be brought to tho lamb, or
the lamb to the eve, iu such Il way as
to prevent chilling again. BY means
OF warm bath, the heat Of the water
extends to every part alike, and quickly,
while such Is not the case in warming
by the fire; and we do not see why the
VAIN bath is not Us good or better than
any other means for tho purpose indi-
Gated.

In washing coloreG cotton 70

In washing coloreG cotton goods
there are great number Of ways by
which the color may be preserved.
For bufts or grey linen tablespoonful
of black pepper to a pailful Of water
will "set" the color and not harden the
water ut all. Let tho articles to be
washed soak In this water half hour
or so and then wash as usual. 1t Is ex.
cellent for black or culored cambrlcs or
muslins, and with ordinary good wash
ing these articles can be kept looking
new long time. The suds should be
made with the water in which the black
pepper was put and in which they
were soaked. Bluffs and grey are not
easily spotted after having been wash
cd In tho pepper water. 1t not only
prevents fading but keeps the color
from "running."

WASHING AND OILING HARNEss.-At
no time OF the year do harness need
more seeing to than now, especially
alter having been exposed to the rains
and SHOWS Of the winter. Not only is
IT. necessary that all repairing be done
before the dryer season sets in, but that
tn" harness should be thoroughly
washed and every particle Of dirt re-
moved before being oiled. The proper
way is 10 first take the harness uDurt,
unDuckling every strap, and wash each
piece separately in clean, warm soap
suds, until every atom OF old grease
and gum IS removed, and hang them I'D
III some moderately warm place until
partially but not thoroughly dry, when
they should be well creased with neats-
loot oil, rubbing it well In and after Il
good wlping oil: hang up to dry. TO
nave the leather perfectly clean before
applying the oil is the important point.
Better not oil at all than TO apply on
dry leather. Nor net Il old harness that
has been so long neglected a. to have
become perfectly dry and hard be oiled
aL all, rs the evil Is done already, and
no oiling will remove 1t. The flores of
the leather have lost their usual tcna-
city and oiling will not restore; in
TACT, the soitenlng Of the leather only
weakcns IL, just as Il sheet of paper will

1ho Potato.

The famine prevalent In Ireland Is
largely owing now, as In the past, to
the failure Of the potato crop, on which
that unhappy land had 80 uniformly
depended for food. 1t Is singular that
our common potato should be called
Irish, because the bulk of the lower
order Of the Irish are accustomed at
home to use 1t as the chief article Of
diet. While 1t Is hard to decide where
1t has spread since Its cultivation by
man, 1t is a native of mountainous dis
trtcts OF tropical and subtropic
America, probably from Chill to Mex
leo. 1t has been asserted that the first
vegetable of the kind known to civiIi-
zatlon WAS discovered in Patagonia; !;
but the assertion has never been cor
roborated. Humboldt doubted If it had
ever been found truly wild; but later
travellers of high scientific reputation
are satisfied Oh this point. Tho wild
plant, except that the tubcrs are small
or, differs very little from the cultivated
plant. The potato has been raised on
this continent, and it tubcrs eaten from

been first taken to Europe in the be-
gip"'ng of the sixteenth century, by

NJ .ds, France and Italy, but
only as Il curiosity, being confined to
a few gardens. 1t long bore the same
name as the batata, or sweet potato,
which Is the tuber meant by most Old
World writer's down to the middle Of
the seventeenth century. ICappcars to

ginia 1850 by Hawkins, slavc-tra-
der, and co England 20 years later by
Sir Francis Drake. without attracting
much attention. until 1t was a third
time exported from this country by the
expedition sent out by Sir Walter RAJ
leigh. Stil], II long time passed before
the potato began to be widely cultiva-
ted. 1t might be used to advantage, 1t
was thought, for feeding cattle and
swine and very poor people, and was
finally raised with view TO prevent
famines, especially In Ireland, where it
was cultivated more extensively than
In any other part OF Europe. Not be-
fore the end Of the eighteenth century
was 1t generally introduced into France
and Germany. Darwin noted the po-
tato in the humid forest Of the Chonos
A rchipelago and among the Central
Chilian Mouutains, where the rain does
not fall sometimes Tor six consecutive
mo nths. 1t Is closely related to the
ma ndrake and deadly nightshadcs, and
from is stems and leaves potent mar
cotic may be extracted. The eating OF
potatoes was for Il while forbidden In
Burgundy, rs they were thought to be
poisonous, and the common people OF
England long cherished prejudice
against them. They are now used
almost universally, and they and corn
are considered two Of the greatest gifts
which this continent has furnished to
the Old World. The potato really is |
and should be designated us the Ameri-
can potato.
