Use of the Feet in Planting.

Peter Henderson urges the Importance
ohproperly "frming" the soil over gar
den seeds as follows:
eve sow annually about four acres of
celery, cabbage, and caulifower plants,
which produce probably five millions in
nuutbeE, and which we never fail to sell,
mostly IN our immediate neighborhooi
To the market gardeners, who have many
of them even better facilities than we
have for rSising these plants, if they
would only do as we do firm the seed
after sowing,\which is done thus: After
blowing, narrowing, and levelng the
land smoothly Zines are drawn by the
"marker," which makes burrows about
two inches deep And foot apart After
the man who sowA the seed follows an
other, who with tine ball of the right
foot presses down Mis- full weight on
every inch of the SON in the drill where
the seed has been soWn The rows are
then lightly leveled loAgitudinally with
the rake. A light rolle( is then passed
over and the operation is\done. BY this
method our crop has never once failed,
and what is true of celery and cabbage
seed is nearly true of all other seeds re
quiring to be sown during the late
spring or summer months. On July
OF 1874, as an experiment, | sowed
twelve rows of sweet corn and twelve
rows of beets, treading in after sowing
every alternate row of each. In both
cases those trod in came up in four DAYS,
while those unfiI med remained twelve
days before starting, and would not
then have terminated had not rain
fallen, for the soil was IS dry as dust
when planted. The result was that the
seeds that had been trodden in grew
freely from the start aud matured their
crops to a marketable condition bv fall,
while the rows unfrmed did not ma
ture, as the plants We're not only eight
days later in terminating, but the plants
We're also to some extent enfeebled by
being partially dried in the loose, dry
soil. This experiment was most use
ful one, for it proved that a corn crop
sowed in the vicinity of New York as
late as July could be made to produce
roasting ears in October, when they
never fail to sell freely at h gh rates;
but the crop would not mature unless
the seed terminated at once, and wi ich
would never be certain at that dry and
hot season unless by this method The
same season in August l treated seeds
of turnip in the same way Those trod
in germinated at once and made an ex-
cellent crop, while those unhrmed ger
minated feebly. and were eventually
nearly all burned cut by continuance
of dry, hot air penetrating through the
loose soil TO the tender rOotlets.

An interesting phenomenon IN pho
Biography has been announced by M.
Jansen in a note to the French Academy
of sciences. While obtaining social
images at Mendon, he has observed that
when the exposure is prolonged beyond
a certain period in which good mega
tive is got, this image loses Its dlstInc-
ton, and the plate passes into a neutral
state. G., no appreciable change ap-
pears ON use of a developer. But If the
exposure be continued still further, the
negative image gives place to posi-
tive, in which the distribution of light
and shade Is exactly the opposite, and
this image, if the luminous action be
well regulated, presents all the details
and fineness of the one it has supplnnted.
With further exposure a second neutral
state is reached, opposite to the first in
asmuch as if the latter showed the
image uniformly dark, the former shows
it uniformly light. For solar negatives
taken at MendOn the time of exposure
has rarely exceeded IL 900 of a second.
if the photospheric granulations were to
be obtained, and with plates prepared by
the gelatino- bromide process, the time
may be reduced to 100, 000th of a second.
or less. Now, if one of these dry plates
be exposed half q second distinct posi-
tive image is produced, the body Of the
sun appearing white and spots black. as
they do to the eye. NJ. Jansen has sim
ilarly obtained positive images of land
scapes appearing transparently as the
scenes is viewed naturally; also view
of the park at Mendon, showing white
solar disk on the dark background of the
sky and corner types, which are of the
same sight as the original types. e..

graphs it is the same spectral rays that
have given the negative image, and then
effected its transformation into positive.

The Splint in the Horse.

1t is weli-known to all owners of
horses that there is what may be called
a tumor, which at first is callous and
afterwards becomes bony, which some
times grows upon the horses leg, the
base resting upon the line of union of
the shank bone and the splint-bOne,
which frequently causes the horse TO go
lame-indeed almost invariably when it
invades the kneejoint, and which is
frequently beyond the reach of the far
rier to cure or remove. A short time
ago, however, a farmer, who appeared to
be familiar with the ailment of the
horse, informed us that he used a remedy
for it which was completely successful
with him; and having obtained the IN
gradients in the belief that the ointment
might be of service in similar case, we
append them as follows

Merry Sport with AooIes.

There are two old games IN which the
apple plays impOrtantparts. One Of the
ramcs which we call "Snap-apple,
originated In Greece over two thousand
wears ago. IN Rome the boys called the
same game ''Quintain. If any young
company would like 10 play snap-apple,
LET them take a stick about one foot long,
and ON one end of the stick tie q candle,
so that the wick shall point upwards.
On the other end of the stick fasten n
good sized apple, then, by means of
string. suspend the stick SO that 1t shall
hang, horizontally. three or four feet
from the floor. according 10 height OF
PLAYERS. The other end of the string
NAV be fastened 10 the chandelier. or a
ho0l, in the ceiling of the room. Having
the apple ready, light the candle and tie
the hands of the players. The game
Is for player 70 catch at the apple,
which ha can do with his mouth only.
The PLAYER is kept jumping away con
stautiy 10 avoid the candle, and very Of
ten gets a thump in the mouth from the
apple.
it Is better that small children shonld
not play snap-apple, and is not altogether
free from danger.
The other apple game may be played
bv any one. and there is a great deal Of
fun in it. Get large, deep tub, fill 1t
with water and throw IN few apples.
Tie the hands of the players behind
them and let them catch the floating
apples IN their mouths. They are more

apple GOideil Days.

The Mysterious Army in the Sky
Seen by Sussex Counttans.
The mysterious phenomenon of an
army marching in the sky, claimed to
have been seen by persons Indifferent
parts of the country, was evidently seen
by people in Sussex county, according
to the following from the Georgetown
Inquirer:
On Monday night of last week Will
liam West, who lives near town, looked
skyward aud says be saw marching and
couniermarching among the clouds d
band of soldiers. They went through
many military evolntions with preci
sion and finally disappeared altogether.
A man named Coverdale who was
driving through the country at the time,
saw the same strange sight; and many
people living IN the vicinity OF Laurel
were also witnesses of the phenomenon.
So realistic was the picture that these
who saw it refuse 10 regard it as an op-
tical delusion, and are prone to believe
that the figures were the military COM
rades OF The late President, long since
called to their heavenly home, and that
they were the angel guard of honor sent
out to welcome Garfield to the and of
eternal sunshine. One of the figures, it
is said, was larger than the others, and
resembled the dead President to re-
markable degree.
