thing, with land that is capable of fair til
lage, would not leave any one seeding to
lie more than tive or three years before
breaking and tlllIng, so as to thoroughly
overhaul the land, and then reseed il, Civ
ing it a change of crops and change of
condition which well agrees with almost
any soil. But it is often the case, from
one cause or another, that the farmer
would prefer to let certain fields go to
grass year after year, If It's fertility and
productiveness could be maintained. And
it can be without any more outlay for ma
nure than We would think necessary TO
apply to the same land if we were aiming
to get from it a good crop of almost any
thing else. The trouble generally Is that
we think the grass ground can run itself,
and the result is IT runs itself out usually
before we really bestir ourselves 10 DO any
thing for it. But by applying manure
judiciOusly TO grass ground il Will be Likely
to show better results than when used any
where else on the farm. | should prefer
TO apply manure to any grass land in the
fall, ami at any time during the winter,
but if deferred until early spring, use finer
and better manure and more Of ii, and
after spreading evenly as possible, drag
once over it, then apply a light seeding OF
grass seeds and drag once or twice more,
which will probably give very satisfactory
results the same year. But for the future
treatment apply the manure in the fall and
winter, never minding whether 1t be fine or
coarse, only if it is lumpy cuff them out
with all old fork, so as to get it even over the
surface, and if ever so coarse and strong,
ii will all settle TO the ground, out of the
way of moving. and help wonderfully IN
keeping the ground moist and in favorable
condition for the grass crop. 1t will be
found most practicable TO apply this treat

II has been held by some arcbeologists
that the ancient sculpturings could not
have been cut without the use of iron
tools. but others have of late Years sue
ceeded in reproducing similar markings
on granite slabs, using solely stone nipple
menis; and 10 doing so they found thet do
rite and other such tough stones cut the
granite better than flint. This corresponds
with the practice of the stOnecutters of
the present time, whose steel tools for cut
ting granite are of much softer temper
then those they use for sandstone The
great sculptured stone of Montezuma, in
Mexico, Is a striking proof of the extent
to which granite can be sculptured with
stone implements. Cana, in his work &c
scribing this stone, states that ten thousand
Indians were employed in transporting it
10 the City of Mexico, where it was sculp-
tured by thirty workmen with stone axes.

soft lips are hardened into horny beaK-
The differen; organs, one after another,
bud out; then a pair Of branching gills, and
last long and l;nber tail. The worm has
become fish. Three OF four days elapse,
and the gills sink back into the body, while
in their place Others come more complex,
arranged IN vascular tufts, one hundred
and twelve in each vet they too, have
their day and are absorbed, together with
their framework of bone and cartilage. TO

the horny beak converted into rows OF
teeth, the stomach and intestines prepared
for the reception of animal food instead
of vegetables. Four limbs, fully equipped
with hip and shoulder bones, with nerves
and blood-vessels, push out through the
skin, while the tail. being now suppanted
by them as a. means Of locomotion, is
carried away piecemeal by the absorbent,
and the animal passes the rest of its life as
an air breathing and flesh feeding batra-
chan.

that when some of this preparation was
mixed with animal tissue it preserved il
from decay fer long time. The Med

with Professor Billroth's case of cancer of
the breast, which was so excessively foul
smelling that all the deodOrisers failed, but
on applying poultice made of dried figs

For people know that IN bad seasons
honey is apt to be poisonous. This arises
from the fact that in such seasons the bees
are often 90 igCG to gather it from poisonous
flowers. Great care should he taken to
remove all POISONOUS plants from the
neighbcrhood of hives. A specimen OF
honey from TreblsOnd, gathered from the
RhOdodendron pontic,HH. which is con.
mon in that neighborhood, was sent in
1884. by Mr., Keith f. Abbott to the Zoo
logical Society Of London. and in 1859 it
still retained its POISONOUS qualities. In
1890 great many people in Philadelphia
died from eating honey gathered from the
flowers of the hdlBiia Iatjtolia. in good
seasons the bees avoid poisonous plants.

dPdper by NJ. d'Arsonval, on ':Ani-
nal Heat has been lately read before the
French Academy of Sciences BY direct
calDrimetry he has confirmed the conclusion
of VI. Moitessier that great amount of
heat is absorbed by the egg in the first day
of incubation. Oxygen is absorbed IN large
quantity and carbonic acid emitted. When
animals are asleep or at rest they absorb
much oxygen and make little heat, the
emission of carbonlc acid varying slightly.
The author hardly ever found agreement
bet xeen the heat measured directly and the
heat calculated from respiratory combus-
tions, obviously because organic combustion
is to be considere,i as variety of fermen-
tatiOn The chemical method gives the
sum; direct calorimetry the difference.
The two methods should be combined
