Drying Ferns.

The dried fronds of ferns are frequent
" employed in forming screens under
blinds, ETC., and, as they are easily OBJ
tainable. collections of ferns being gen.
erally grown, some hints as to the pres
eryation of them cannot fail to be ac-
ceptable Get any carpenter to plane
two deal boards, about half an inch
thick, a foot wide and foot and a
half LONG. Between these place one or
two ouires of common blotting-paper.
Round the boards put two narrow but
strong leather straps. These must be
drawn as tightly as possible and will Sc
cure a great amount OF pressure on the
fronds inside, and the whole may be
strapped on the top of a box, in travel
inc. so as not to take up much room.
In gathering the ferns, cut them as low
down in the stem as possible, and in
small specimens get up the root, if you
can. In putting them to dry in the
blotting-paper, have respect to the
natural position of the fern and also to
the size of the sheet of paper on which
they are to be finally placed. When
the fronds are long and the speci-
mems large, they may be bent so
as to lie in a smaller space. than
thew otherwise could, and if dried
in a certain position will retain
the form easily. 1t is best, at first, to
make the pressure lightly, so as to alter
the form of the plant, if needful, be-
fore it is completely dried, then in
crease the pressure day by day, until
the specimens are ready to remove.
Ferns dry quickly and easily, and may
without injury be kept in drying paper
for some time. When, however, they
are removed for final use, they should
be secured, if necessary, by little strips
ofgummed paper, which is bestprepared
beforehand by covering a sheet of note
paper with a strong solution OF gum,
which when dry may be kept for long
time, ready for use. The thinner the
strips are cut the better, so as to hold
the parts of the plant in their right
position. This plan is in some cases
preferable to cumming the whole plant,
or portions of it, as the little strips can
at any time be removed with pen
knife, without injuring the paper or
book in which they are fixed, should
there arise occasion to remove the spec
linens. In drying ferns, be careful to
change the blotting-paper two or three
times a week, so as to remove any
dampness, and dry the paper In the
sun or before the fire very often. 1t is
best to have two sets of paper, so that
one can be dried while the other is in
use. Any ordinary fern will be fit to
put into the folio in two or three weeks,
at tmost.-Erch0nge

SOiling Stock.

A writer in recent number of the
Mich ZettNng, on the danger to German
agriculture from foreign competition,
says that his own experience of fifty
years has taught him that regular soil
ing of cattle is best for the farmer and
his fields, bringing in greater profit and
maintaining the fertility of the land at "a
higher point-that twice as much fod-
der can be produced on given surface
when the forage plant is allowed to
grow as cultivated crop and reach q
certain degree of maturity than when
as in pasture, it is continually cropped
off and trodden down. He believes, as
do all the best German writers on the
subject, that the most successful system
of agriculture in the long run is that in
which a large quantity of stock is kept
and fed well, and a careful rotation of
crops is followed, in which the same
crop is never put twice in succession on
the same land. The soiling system
makes it easier to carry out the second
part of his programme, and the greater
variety of crops that can be raised on a
long rotation provides greater variety
of fodder for the stock, so that these
two features of the best modern agri-
cultural practice work admirably to.
gether. The soiling system provides a
more Uniform ration in resneet te q9san- g.s.,s
tity, and avoids much less of manure. 1t
may be pretty safely affirmed that the
droppings of cattle in the pasture are
more than half wasted by drying in the
sun, or by too strong dosing with ma
nure in isolated spots here and there.
Where land is cheap and abundant and
cannot be profitably cultivated and car
ried up to high degree of fertility,
pastursge over large portion of the
farm may be allowable, but when high
farming pays pasture land is poor in
ve'tment and may eat up large part
of the profits from the cultivated fields

The place in which the vats are built,

The place in which the vats are built,
or the tubs set, should be clean and
sweet, free from all bad odors, and
where steady, low temperature can be
maintained-the lower the better, that
is, down to any point above freezing.
Besides the foregoing, other methods
for preserving eggs have been devised,
snch as vanishing, greasing, oiling and
rolling in flour; but these methods will
only answer in small way, for an in
dividuals private use. it being nearly
or quite as much as the eggs are worth
to put them in merchantable shape; in
fact, it is nearly impossible to do so, as
the shells will never look uniformly
clean. Several processes have been pat
ented and sold to considerable extent,
but the old lining process undoubtedly
stands ahead up to the present time.

The BOY that Kills,

A telegraph clerks wife had for
some time been in failing health.
She went, by advice of physicians. to
spend the summer in a farmhouse in
Normandy, where boarders were ac-
commodatd. She wrote her husband
almost daily, and gave favorable bulle-
tins of her health. Recently he
received a letter bearing the postmark
of the village where she was staying.
1t was written by a neighbor, Ii an
nounced the wife's death. The moor
husband swooned away, fell into an
armchair, and was completely stunned
by the blow. The stupefaction lasted
three or four hours. lie was aroused
from it by the door-bell. He opened
the door. His wife, the very picture
of health, stood before him. Hi sur
prise and joy were too sudden-too
great. Observation-Disclosures phrases.
Historically laughed and sobbed
alternately. He was insane. The
physicians fear his death will speedily
follow.

A Remarkable ship.

For the last six years the Rev. G.
N. kamus, rector of East Guildeford,
England, has held his invention of the
polyspheric ship at the disposal of the
admiralty. This vessel, It is calcu-
lated, will skim the seas at the rate of
forty miles an hour or more. The
priciple of Mr.. Ramus's invention
consists in making the bottom of the
vessel a series of inclined planes. In
1877 Mr.. Ramus made a model. hay
ing Its bottom composed. of two paral-
lei and consecutive inclined planes; or
the vessel may be described as made
up of two wedges, the thick ends OF
which are placed abaft the thin ends.
There is thus in the center of the
vessel a ridge where the thin end of
the sternmOst wedgo abutS against the
thick end Of the foremost. Any float
ing body thus shaped must, when
driven forcibly through the water.
tend to rise, and if the speed is high.
enough it will rise on the surface in
stead Of driving through the water.
These FACTS were demonstrated by
some rough experiments made in the
presence of credible witnesses. The
propelling power in these experiments
was a six-ounQe rocket, In one trial
the model, Weighing three pounds
three ounces, ran a distance of one
hundred and five yards in three sec.
onds. In another it ran four hundred
and eighty feet in four and one,half
seconds, the water being rippled by a
strong breeze, but in spite Of this the
deck was found 70 ba dry.
