A good aquarium cement is composed
of three ounces of linseed Oil, four ounces
of tar and one pound of rosin. These are
allowed to melt together over gentle fire.
If too much oil is used the cement will
run down the angles of the aquarium. To
obviate this 1t should be tested before u.s.
ing by allowing small quantity to cool
under cool water, and if not found suff1-
ciently 6rm, allowing it to simmer longer,
or have more tar and resin added. The
cement should be poured into the angles
of the aquarium while in a LIQUID state,
but not when boiling, or it would most
assuredly crack the glass. The cement
will become firm In few minutes, and
the aquarium may then be tilted up in a
different position while second angle is
treated likewise. This composition ad-
heres firmly TO the glass, Is SO plant that
it may be pressed into any shape by the
fingers, and it does not communicate any
poisonous quality to the water.

CoRNsTALKs AS A FERTILIZER An ex-
change tells of a farmer who ploughed an
acre of rather poor soil and in the fuIrows
he laid cornstslks lengthwlse, and so on
till the whole was ploughed. On another
acre he burnt the same amount of corn
stalks and spread the ashes, the whole field
then being planted with corn. The latter
portion started much better than the first,
and during the early part of the season
wcs good deal ahead, but the latter part
of the season the first portion went ahead,
the result being that the cornstalks brought
off the best crop.

HoT BATH FOR BoRERs.-Iu our garden
we have dwarf apple tree, which, after
the manner of dwarf trees, has many roots
issuing Immediately at the surface. Borers
have MAZE an attack upon this tree and
the gnarly tortuous growth amid these
roots and their crowd, makes it impossible
TO follow the grubs with knife and wire
without greatly increasing the destructive
cutting which they do with their jaws.
The tree produces apples of Summer Rose
and other sorts, SO fine in quality and
quantity that we could not bear to think
of surrenderlng 1t TO these insidious min
ers. So we instituted a regular course of
siege, surrounding their fort with a wall of
iron Ga deep pan, bottomless, and slit down
one slde,) and, after soaking the ground
with water, covered it inside the pan,
with tough mud of potter's clay, to retain
the water. leaving the entrances of the
borer galleries (shown by their thrown out
chips, open. A large boiler of water was
heated, and when boiling hot poured into
the pan, the half dried bottom OF clay re-
tanning 1t long enough to reach and drown
ur scald out the enemy in time, as We
hope, to save the tree. Old bark and
wood wi ! endure scaldlng well, a. many
servicsable applications of it TO peach trees
have proved. On them it not only clears
off borers, but often seems effective in
STAYING the yellows and restoring the
color and luxuriance Of the foliage.

ADULTERATED COFFEE Ground coffee
affords field for adulteration, and for
this purpose chiccory, carrots, caramel,
date-seeds, etc., are the substances most
commonly used. The beans have of
late years been skillfully initiated but as
coffee is mostly purchased in the ground
condition, the chief point for the consul
mer is to be able to form some idea rs to
the character of the latter article, and the
following are a few simple reliable tests ::
Take little of the coffee and press 1t
between the fingers, or give it squeeze IN
the paper in which it is bought; if genuine
it will not form coherent mass, rs coffee
grains are hard and do not readily adhere to
each other; but If the grains stick to each
other and form sort of ''cake," we
may be pretty sure OF adultcration III the
shape of chiccory, for the grains of chic
cory are softer and more open and ad-
here without difficulty when squeezed.
Again, if we place few grains in sau-
Ger and moiSten them with little cold
water, chlccory Will very quickly become
soft like bread-crumbs, while coffee will
take long time to soften. A third test !:

ter and gently drop pinch of the ground
coffee on the surface of the water without
stirring or sgitating; genuine coffee will
float for sometime whilst chiccory or any
soft root will soon sink aud chiccory or
caramel Will cause a yellowish or brown
iSh color to dltfuse rapidly through the
water, while pure coffee will give no sem
sbe tint under such circumstances for a
considerable length of time. Coffee
mixtures" or ''cotTee mprovers" should
be avoided. They seldom consist of.s any.
thing but chicccry and caramel. French
Coffee so widely used at present, is gen
orally ground coffee, the beans of which
have been roasted with a certain amount
of sugar, which, coating over the bean, has
retained more of the original aroma than
in ordinary coffee, but this, of course, al
the expense of the reduced percentage OF
coffee due to the presence of caramel.
