The Je,cish Messenger says that fac
smile copy has been received by the Pales-
tine Exploration Fund of PE@nician In.
scription upon the Pool of Sloan. 1t was
first discovered by their correspondent at
Jerusalem, few months ago, and consists
of six lines (about one hundred and fifty
words in ALI Enclosed within a tablet, the
letters of which it is composed being al
most identical with those ON the Moabite
Stone The Pool OF Sloan is of very an
cient workmanship, and is supposed to be
connected with the waterworks made by
King Hezekiah, and TO be supplied from
spring OF living water in the heart of Tenn
pie rock. The name still exists in its
Aarabic form IN the Kerr Silwan, or village
of Siloam-a cluster OF dwellings, half how
els, half natural caves, on the opposite side
of the valley, whose inhabitants, when not
engaged in theft, earn scanty livelihood
by carrying the water of the Pool into the
town for sale. No legend remains Of the
healing power of the Pool, and it would
be interesting if the inscription should con-
tain any allusion to sick persons who
waited for the angel to trouble the waters.
This is thought to be not so improbable as
may at first sight seem, for the date is GER
tainly not later than the first century Of
our era, and may be much earlier, while 1t
would appear to be the work of more than
one hand, and is just such record as a
pigcim would leave.

sulphur for the Grape Vines.

Those who have grape vines that are liable
to suffer from mildew should not forget that
sulphur viii prevent this disease, and thus
save the grapes. Eastern sulphur is
the best, because it has been cleansed
of all mineral and other impurities.
The sulphur should be applied to
the leaves by sprinkling them well,
from a tin bsx with perforated bottom. We
have always selected dewy mornings for the
application; as then it will adhere to the
damp surface, and penetrating the leaf enter
at once into the circulating sap and kill all
spores of fungi. If you have but few vines,
as in the garden, it will do to sprinkle the
leaves with sulphur. If neglected now, when
the time comes for picking large fine lunches
of luscious grapes to eat from the hand or
from the table, you will find none but half
grown, half.ripened, half-colored, tasteless
grapes on your vines, and then you will re-
greet your neglect now.

Successful Experiment with the sno.

A correspondent of the Courier-Journal,
writing from Russellville, KY, gives the ex-
perence of .Nimrod Lang, wealthy farme T
of the place, with the silo. Mr. Lang, he
writes, told me that last summer he engaged
hands and had pit dug in a tobacco farm,
16 feet square and II feet deep. The ground
was the ordinary red clay. He already had
in his stock barn the necessary power, and
thither he cut and hauled the corn from an
adjacent field-stalks, roasting ears and all
and ran it through his cutting machine, cut
ting it in half. inch lengths. This cut stuff
he put into the pit until filed. He then
covered it with flooring boards, and weighed
it down with over foot of stone, about 500
pounds to the square yard. This soon
caused it to sink to about half
the depth of the pit. In cutting
this corn, MIR. Lcng was unfortunate, and
broke his cutter. As he could not get it
mended soon he removed the weights and
filled the pit with clover hay, cut in the field,
and hauled directly to the pit. With this
he filed the pit little more than full and
again put on the weights. When this had
been pressed down the weights were again
removed and the pit again filed with clover
hay, freshly cat, and weights again applied
and left. On the 231 Of December he began
to feed twenty-five large steers for the mar
ket and fine flock of Cotswold sheep. He
The steers get nothing else and cattle aud
sheep eat it ravenously. Net counting the
cost of the steam power this ensilage has cost
about 30 cents per ton. Its color, as it comes
out is a very light maple leaf brown. The
boards, for o space of about three feet, are
removed st time, and it is cut down with
knives. Next the dirt, for less tlan one
quarter of an inch, it is moulded, but else
where perfectly sound. Mr.. Long says he has
long dealt in tobacco, and was, of course, fa-
miliar with the principle, SO that as soon as
the discussion about ensilage began in the
agricultural papers, his attention was ar.
rested. These silos only need to be covered
in aud kept dry. This experiment shows
that less per cent. is lost by contact with
the earth than by contact with stone walls.
Mr. Long is preparing for extensive silos,
and this coming summer will ensilage the
corn from thirty acres. This he will plant
at three different times, SO as to have it come
in successfully. This will allow for time
consumed in pressing. The corn ought to he
planted in drills three feet ten inches apart,
and eight inches between stalks, and cut
after formation of pollen on the tassels and
before it has entirely gone. As this cut stuff
was put into the sile, Mr.. Long had it well
tramped. He will also ensilage clover and
rye as well as corn. He says his cattle love
it, and are fattening better than any he ever
fed,

IRREGULAR opRsrSs.

SHoEING.-Some have an idea that If
horse is only partly shod the fore feet
should have shoes on. Now, | hold that
both fore and hind feet should be shod. if
the horse be used, where he requires shoes
at all, except, perhaps, in blowing, etc.,
and for the reason, that the fore and the
hind feet are intended for two distinct pur-
poses-the fore feet to bear the weight, and
the hind to propel it. Their peculiar and
respective shapes prove this. The hind
leg, when ready for great action, is bent
like the handspring of a gun-lock, or bow,
the Strengthening of which sends the ar
row on it's way When horse, of his own
accord, wants to jump fence, he walks up
to it, touches it with his chest, and, seeing
that all is clear on the other side raises
himself on his hind legs, and, when in the
position of kangaroo, one spring from the
hind legs throws some 1000 pounds into
the next field, when his fore legs in turn
receive his entire weight, then the hind legs
come again to the ground to propel the
horse onward. If, therefore, the fore feet
require shoeiDg to bear the weight, the
hind require it to propel the whole in such
service. If you break deer's hind leg he
is yours if his fore, he isn't. How many

dairy and the kitchen, see to it that there

UTILIZING SOLAR HEAT.-It is not i'm.
possible that, before our coal fields are ex.
hausted, we shall have discovered some
means of doing many things without that
fuel-at least in regions where the sun
shines. We are already acquainted with
NJ. Mouchot's solar engine, but that method
of utilizing the heat of the sun has been
eclipsed by an Improvement devised by NJ.

so far as to utilize so per cent of the avail.
able heat Of the suns rays at Paris, and
has actually constructed an apparatus with
feet at rate of over 90 gallons a minute.
As in Mouchot's solar engine, reflector
receives the light and concentrates it upon
a boiler-in this case containing nearly 80
gallons OF water, which, under clear
Paris sky, begins to boil in about 40 min
utes, and in few minutes longer has suf-
ficient pressure to drive the engine work

is there to be found more wide-awake and
enterprising vine and fruit-growers than in
Napa valley. The success which is attend
ing grape and fruit culture in this valley is
not only bringing to individuals great and
deserved prosperity, but it is bringing a rep.
utation to the valley itself. With the con.
tinued enlargement of old vineyards and
orchards and the planting of new ones, it
will not be many years before the entire val.
ley above Napa City and the slopes of the
mountains on either side will be very nearly
covered with vines and fruit trees Of various
kinds. The liability TO late frosts in the
valley has heretofore been somewhat Of dis
couragement to planting out vineyards and
orchards, but the intelligence and enterprise
of those already interested in these lines OF
culture have SO completely overcome
this objection that it is no longer
considered of q serious character.
They have found way to extract the teeth
from Jack Frost's jaws so surely and effect
ually that his disposition to nip the tender
vines and the fruit in the bud is rendered
quite harmless. The operation of taking out
Jacks teeth is so simple and yet 30 complete

be Justified in giving an account of it for the
penent OF those interested in other localities

other. Hence amorg the objects en- braced in
