Brute Animals Revenge.

That animals have reason to lay plans
Of revenge was painfully impressed re-
Gently on two persons not likely to
forget the lessons. Among the animals
exhibited in the beautiful park at Sa-.
cramento is large ape tethered by an
iron chain. A countryman alighting
from his light wagon, whip in hand,
went for the monkeys and the coward
ly fun of teasing them. He tantalized
the ape beyond endurance. In frantic
struggle the reasoning animal broke
his chain and gave battle to his tor
mentor. Between claWing and biting
a few minutes made wreck of his
clothes and disagreement, Of his bleed
ing face, throat aud hands. The AMI
NAL evidently meant business, and
knew how to do it. He flew at the
throat, knowing it was the, weakest
point, but the cravatfoile his purpose.
At Modesto, not far off, young fellow
yexed a horse, that turned upon him to
get even! The. youth sought shelter
under a harvest fherder. The animal
examined the machine, and fell to kick

kicking, him, and was making things

nv experiment that lime liberates these

bv experiment that lime liberates these
inorganic elements. According to Prof.
WAY, lime helps to form !: valuable
class OF salts known as double slllcates
or alumina, which have the power o. ab-
sorbing ammonia from the atmosphere.
Lime neutralizes the acids in the soil
and sweetens the herbage. besides sup
plying food for the perfect growth OF
the crops. 1t is thought b1 some to be
a wasteful practice to allow lime to
come in immediate contact with farm
ward manure, thinking it would cause u
loss OF ammonia; but they overlook the
controlling influence consequent upon
the action taking place IN the soil. Inc
action of caustic lime upon mixture
of farlnyard manure and decayed OF
ganic matter produces most valuable
fertilizer, viz. nitrate OF potash. Lime,
besides being plant food and bringing
into useful condition the several organic
and inorganic matters in the soil, also
improves its physical character. render
inc stiff and tenacious clays more III
able and easy to work. However, the
use of lime renders a supply OF other
manure necessary. and under good
system of husbandry the increase of
crops will increase the quantity OF ma
nure. Taking into account the various
functions it performs. it is one of our
best natural manures. However, it
cannot be expected to produce Its fuu
effects Immediately after being applied.

Upper Rooms as Ovens.

In the construction of perhaps nine
out of ten of frame houses, and often
times of brick, no adequate provision,
if any. is made for ventilauing the
space between the upper ceiling and
the roof. How frequently at night the
remark is made: 9 The lower rooms
are getting quite comfortable, but the
upper rooms are like an oven.' "Ihe
roof gets so heated up during the
day. Seldom is the real cause OF the
oppressive heat that prevails till late
in the night. or till well on toward
morning, either understood or thought
of. 1t Is true the roof gets hot during
the day, but it usually consists OF but a
LAYER OF strips and shingles. and would
soon cool if it had Il chance. The
trouble is there is a body OF confined
air under the roo that gets very hot,
and as there is no outlet for its escape
and replacement it must remain hot
until cooled by the SLOW process OF IA
diaton through he surrounding walls.
Now, the roof being usually OF wood
is not so good conductor as the flas-
tered walls OF the ceiling, hence the
heat must pass out principally from be-
low through the rooms OF the house.
That accounts for the fact that when
one goes to an upper room IN the even
inp there comes such sense OF stlillng,
and the sweat starts from the forehead.
It is an oven you are in; all that is lack
inc to make it complete is the hot air
chamber below as well as above. The
| builder who constructs a house with
such nicely adjusted conditions for the
radiat,o on OF stored up heat, might most
properly be called Macbeth. for he has
certainly murdered Sleep When
the writer was a boy it was his good
fortune to sleep in the chamber OF q
house unfinished above. There was
nothing but the roof over him and the
roomAbecarne cool not long after the
cooling of the outs de air. 1t was a
good place to sleep winter or summer.
Only those who have slept just under
the shingles can realize what it is to
:.listen to the patter of the rain upon
the root" Very often in steep-roofed
and low-eaved houses q part OF the
room along b. the caves above is walled
out, leaving a space for confined air on
two sides as well as above. The sides,
| too, are connected with the spaces BE-
tween weather boarding and walls,
reaching to the sills. 1t will readily
appear. therefore, what an advantage
would be gained both IN preventing
and reducing excessive heat by having
free circulation of air through these
spaces. The provisions sometime:
made for this ventilation are INSULT
cient. A few open Stats under the roo
in the gable are better than nothing
but there is no good reason why there
should not be at least two good large
openings. An arrangement could easi
" be made so that shutters should b.
under control from below by means 0
cord or wire, remaining open day ant
night during hot weather, except whel
storms might threaten. They might b.
made to assist greatly in cooling ant
ventilating the whole house. Dir. New

Lime as a Manure.

Mr.. K. Gordon, of Gordonshire,
Aberdeenshire, Scotland, writes on this
topic as follows, in the North British
Agricultarast
Lime is one of the most important
natural manures we possess, and the
value of it's application to the soil has
been known from very early periods.
The action of lime as manure is en-
tirely regulated by the form and man
ner in which it is applied to the soil.
Quick lime should be used for heavy
and tenacious soils, as well as those
containing fair quantity Of vegetable
matter. On the other hand, if the soil
be light and friable, with little .vegeta-
BILE matter in it, caustic lime would in
such a case do more harm than good.
Mild lime ought to be- used, treated
with mixture of earth, and exposure
to the atmospheric air, from which it
takes carbonic acid, which takes away
a great deal of its caustic properties.
The different circumstances and condi-
tions of soil will not allow a uniform
practice to be adopted; but judgment
and experience ought to regulate the
application of all manures. Every
farmer should study his own soil, and
thereby he would be able TO avoid the
misapplication of good manure. Before
the introduction Of artificial manures,
. lime was more universally used than
now, which helps to account for the
poor crops of clover, and the difficulty
OF raising good turnips. 1t is essen
TALLY necessary that supply of lime
should exist in the soil to meet the re-
-quireaentS of the various crops. Every
cultivated plantneedsta supply ofrlime
for thA proper building up OF its struc-
-t11re.> Hnd, in combination with phos-
Rk6fic acid, lime forms large portion
,of the skeletons of the animals who
feed upon the crops. A, soil may con-
tain large supplies of every ingredient
q which alcrop requires, aud still be un-
able to yield Them to. the plant, they
being in an inactive state and it is only
that portion of the soil which is soluble
. in water which is available as plant
food ANY analysis of afsoil which only
tells its composition is of little value
4 unless IT can show the active. matter
readgto be taken up by the crop. Lime
acts .upon 1.-The dormant matter in the
soil, and performs the important flnc.
ton of rendering these active. Clay
