The SueZ Canal.

The isthmus canal, the work Of M.
de Lesseps, now leading cause of the
Anglo Egyptian embodiment, was be-
gun in 1850, and opened to ships on
November Il, 1860, in presence of the
Empress Eugene and the representa-
tives of other sovereign powers. The
Idea of the canal was not q new one.
Sesostris Pharaoh Necho, the Romans,
and the Arabians always entertained it.
There plan, however, was simply to
unite the Nile and the Red sea, the
Mediterranean being unthought of.
In 1899 the line across the isthmus was
surveyed by Napoleon l., but the engi-
neer, La Pere, having reported differ
ence in the level between the two seas,
the project fell through, and was not
revived till M. Ferdinand de Lesseps
took it up, and, undaunted by all ad-
verse criticisms, obtained permit
from Said Pasha to begin operations.
A company-La Compagnie Univer-
selle-was formed in 1859 with CAPT.
tai of fS,000,000 100000 900 francs
ultimately increased to Els, 100000
450,000,000 francs. The Mediter.
ranean debouchment was at Port Said
then q miserable Arab village, built
in dreary, arid waste. The termina-
ton of the canal is at Suez, Red Sea,
twenty years ago most miserable
place, but now prosperous seaport
town with more thar 5000 inhabitants.
The length of the canal is 80 miles; its
breadth at the top is from 200 to 325
feet, at the bottom 70 feet. and its
depth is 20 feet; the banks slipping up
ward in the proportion of from 2 feet to
foot, up to within feet of the surface
aud thence as 5 to !, the latter slope
allowing the waves ofpassing vessels rs
they are towed. or as they steam along
at the rate OF six miles an hour, to
break on the banks as smoothly as on
a sea beach.
The engineering difficulties encount-
cred were not few. The excavations
on the canal amounted to 10000 0O0
cubic yands. These were chiefly made
by the aid of steam dredges of a peculiar
construction, some Of which were IS
horse power, 10 feet in length, and
cost go, 600 each. For the greater par,
of the distance the dredging was through

Potato Experiments.
Western LWis.l Farmer.


We have recommended the prac-
tice of cutting potatoes in planting, one
eye to each piece, and one piece Is
inches apart in drills, or two pieces in
each hill The result in our exper-
fence has been larger crop and larger
tubers, than when planted in the or
binary manner. DR.. Sturtevant, of the
New York Experiment station, lately
addressed the members of the Elmira
Farmers Club in an interesting, COM
mon sense manner. In his remarks
he referred as follows to some of the
things dem onstrated in potato culture:
take potato, peel 1t heavily, and
plant the peeled potato in dry soil.
Tie shoots will grow. This shows that
the potato shoots penetrate further
within the potato peelings We OBJ.
serve that the plant is feeble in early
growth, and late in the formation OF
tuber Now plant large flat pieces OF
potato. We OBSERVE at date a good
growth, moderate formation of tuber.
Now plant single eyes cut deeply. We
observe that these form vigorous plants,
and early and prolific tuber formation.
Plant now potato shoots laid in the
row; we observe very early formation
of potato, and prollticacy, with moder-
ate leaf growth.
What do these facts indicate? This,
that the depth of the cutting of the eye
has more influence on the crop than
the size of the seed. In like manner,
as we investigate the potato crop, We
see marked indications at date--at
date, for we arc not reporting results,
but progress-that single eyes, cut
deeply, are superior for seed in every
respect TO pieces of potato or whole po-
tatoes. That the deeper the cut the
better and earlier the crop, and that
hence large potatoes, if preferable for
seed probabl derive their advantage
from the eyes being deeper ;han are
the eyes from small potatoes, for long
sprouts give us earlier potato formation
than short sprouts, and the eyes have
certain analogical resemblance to the
shoots which they originate. Should
harvest confirm these early indications
then we can broadly claim that the
farmers in New York State, if all
should adopt these facts into their
practice, would in saving 100000
bushels Of seed potatoes, gain as much
in the amount of the crop realized.

Didn't Want Any Bedfell0W

A comical scene occurred on board a
sleeping-car that left Cleveland the
other night. Among the passengers
was plain, staid, Western Reserve
"schoolmarm" who was going West On
a vacation. She had secured lower
berth, but when about to retire discov-
cred that a gentleman was to occupy
the shelf above her. She made 'holy
kick" against the arrangement. and
fatty declared that company that had
no more regard for single lady's feel
ings was unworthy of the patronage Of
respectable people. The conductor,
after considerable trouble, got the lessee
of the shelf to take lower berth in
the next section. The gentle damsel
retired without disrobing, and later in
the night got up to get a drink of water.
Before leaving her berth she pinned a
piece Of paper to the curtain, in order
that she might make sure of it on her
return. Her movements were observed
by the gentleman whom she had caus-
ed to remove, and he, being wag,
bethought him that now was his chance
to get even. Hastily removing the paper
he pinned it to the curtain of the berth
of Boston drummer and then awaited
developments, II q little while the lady
made her way to where the paper was
affixed and got into bed. A moment
later succession of piercing screams
issued from the berth, followed by the
alarmed lady and the now awakened
drummer, who hoped out after her
to see what the devil the racket was
about. The scene then ensued beggars
description. 1t took the conductor and
the porter an hour to pacify the enrag..
ed female, and even then she refused
to be Modified until she was given
state-room for her sole use for the
remainder of the night.

Canning Fruits.

Almost every lady housekeeper
knows the best lcay to can our summer
fruits, but all do not have good luck
every time. The following we clip
from the american Agricukurist as in
terestlng hints:
The fruit, whatever 1t may be, i'll "
syrup just strong enough to sweeten it,
is brought to the Boiling point, and as
it Is at once placed in the jars, previous
ly warmed with hot water, and when
these are well filled, the cover is screw
ed down tight. Good jars, well filled
with boiling fruit, and promptly cover
ed by screwing down the caps, will in
sure success. Among the first things
to be put up in this way is rhubarb.
This can be readily canned, and green
gooseberries may be treated in the
same manner. Strawberries and rasp-
berries come next, and are better pre-
served in the same manner than by any
other, but these, especially the straw
berry, while vastly better preserved
thus than in any other manner, come
far short of retaining their original fla
yor. Peaches are easily preserved thus,
and are nearly perfect, rs are pears, es-
pecially the Bartlett, apples and
ounces. One who has put up the
ounce in this manner, will never pre-
1t according to the old pound for pound
method.
IAN the highly favored apples, pre-
served by canning, make inner apple
sauce than can be produced III any
other manner. The usual process is,
to cook the fruit, of whatever kind, in
y syrup made with four ounces of SUI
gar, to q pint of water. When the
irult is cooked tender, transfer 1t at
once to the jar, and add the syrup to
fill up every crevlce; if there are bub-
bles of air, aid them to escape by the
use OF a spoon. See that the jar Is SOLID
full of fruit and syrup, and up to the
top, before the cap is screwed on.
Nv nile fruits are easily preserved IN
the family, vegetables are more difficult.
We have many inquiries about pre-
serving green peas, green corn, and to-
matoes. Those who make business
Of canning, lind green peas and green
corn among the most difficult things to
preserve. They can only be put up in
VIZ Saho W lOhS polIluS PiocesSeo, hOt
practicable III families. If any OF our
readers have found amethod by which
either corn or peas can be preserved by
any process practicable IN the family,
we ask them TO communicate 1t, for
the benefit of others. Last Autumn
We made an experiment with tomatoes.
Thoroughly ripe fruit was cooked as
for the table, emitting. butter and all
other seasoning, and put up in ordin-
airy fruit jars. About three out of
twelve failed, but those which succeed
ed were vastly better than the tomatoes
purchased in tin cans"
