Keeping Rust from Tools.

The simple preparation employed by
Professor Olmstead, of Yale College, for
the preservation of scientific apparatus,
and which he long ago published for the
general good, declining to have it pa
tented, is made by the slow melting to-
gether of six or eight parts of lard to one
of resin, stirring till cool. This remains
semi-fuid, always ready for use, the
resin preventing rancidity and supplying
an a'r-tight film. Rubbed on bright
surface ever so thinly it protects and
can be wiped off nearly clean, if ever de-
sired, as from knife blade; or it NAV
be thinned with coal-oil or benzne. If
oxidation has begun, no matter in how
slight degree, it will go on under a
coating it is therefore essential that the

Growing Celery.

We know of no vegetable, says Seed
time and Harvest, which is more rapidly
coming into popular favor, and the de-
mand for which is everywhere growing
so rapidly, as celery. And yet there are
thousands of gardens, especially among
farmers, in which the first stalk of celery
is yet to grow, and the gardener has yet
to learn how to cultivate and handle it
successfully The manner of cultivating
this delicious and healthful plant has
been greatly simplifed within the last
few years. 1t is not long since it was
supposed that to grow celery in this coun-
try, trench some two feet in depth
must be excavated, which of course re-
moved all the good soil, which must be
supplied, and the plants then set in the
bottom so they could be earthed up and the
stalks blanched as they grew But few
growers practice this laborious method
now. Celery is naturally a saltwater
plant, thriving best in rich, moist situa-
ton. The seeds must be sown very
early, as they are usually full three
weeks in terminating. A cool, moist
situation should be chosen for a seed bed.
AS the plants make but slow growth
during the hot apd dry summer months,
they are usually not transplanted out
until about the middle or last of July.
Hence it is commonly made a second
crop on land which has already been
cleared of an early crop, such as peas or
potatoes. Land which has been heavily
manfred early in spring will be in bet
ter condition for celery than that on
which the manure is applied Just pre-
vious to setting the celery plants The
plant is gross feeder and requires rich
as well as moist and cool soil The
plants should be set in slightly depressed
rows fully FIVE feet apart, and the plants
about ten inches apart in the row.
About the lst of September the soil must
be drawn up against them frequently
enough to keep the stalks or branches
from spreading. The more and oftener
they are banked, observing that the CEN
trail shoot or bud is not entirely covered
so as to smother it, the better. Toward
the last of October, a trench some
eighteen inches deep and twelve inches
wide is prepared in some dry place,
where drainage is so perfect that no
water can stand in it, and the celery is
dug and packed in upright as it grew,
considerable soil being left upon the
roots that they may continue to grow
and keep crisp. This row is now covered
with boards and over them layer of re-
fuse straw or leaves to keep out the frost.
In this way it may be left out over win
ter, if frost, water, and mice are kept
out. There are many different varieties
in cultivation, yet they do not differ so
greatly from each other as the varieties
of most vegetables We think the ex-
ceIlence Of celery depends more upon the
care which it receives in growing than
upon the variety; vet there are some
kinds better than others Evangelist.

Value of Leaves.

The Importance of leaves, in develop
ing the growth and ripening of fruit,
does not appear yet to be fully under
stood by everybody. A correspondent
OF the Tribune describes his losses. He
thought his vines were making too great
a growth last SUMMER, and that the
luxurlant leaves were shading the
grapes; and accordingly about the mid
die Of July he went vigorously to work
and cut out great many leaves to let in
the sun, and shortened the shoots; but
ne was fortunately called away from his
work OF destruction when it was about
halt done and the task remained un-
finished The result was as might have
been expected. The vines which were
left untouched ripened their grapes tv O
weeks before the pruned ones and the
fruit was sweeter, better, and more pala-
table IN every way. He has now made
the discovery of the truth, which had
long ago been established by others, that
the grape juice is manufactured BY the
leaves. Many interesting illustrations
might be cited, and among them. we saw
many years ago a crop spoiled and the
vines permanently injured, and in fact

About the Hens.

Good comfortable nests are among the
requirements of successful incubation.
MIR. f. 81. Corbin, Newington, Conn,
whose successful experience entities his
opinions to consideration, advises that
the nests be about fourteen inches square,
and during the cold season made warm
with broken hay or straw, covered with
feathers. Later in the season this plan
should be reversed, and piece of fresh
turf followed out into a concave form
and covered with broken straw only.
He keeps both hen and eggs free from
vermln by means of sui phur and dust
bath. The sulphur is sprinkled plenti-
fully through the nest and little on
the hen previous to setting; then suita-
BILE dust bath, easy of access, is provided
Mr., Corbin cautions against feeding soft
food (by reason of its quick digestion) to
setting hens, and suggests, instead, whole
grain, corn being preferable, with sup
ply OF fresh water daily.
A correspondent in the Poultry Yard,
writing about nest-boxes tor Matching,
claims that these ought invariably to be
placed upon the ground. He claims that
his greatest success has been gained by
the use of boxes, with bottoms not ex-
ceeding half an inch in thickness, placed
upon the damp ground, with small holes
to admit moisture. When the box is not
set in a damp place, he advises that in
verified turf be placed in the bottom of the
nest. In lining nest, care should be
observed not to make it too deep or
rounding, else the eggs will press so
closely together as to become broken.
When practicable, setting hens should
be quite apart from laying ones and their
nest placed in as quiet and secluded a
place as possible.-Ipdependent.

A Local Cause CeIebre.

The Supreme Court of the United
States yesterday affirmed the judg-
ment of the Supreme Court of Cali
fornia In the case OF Conlan VS..
Quinby. This action has a pecu-
liar history and affords striking
example Of the laws delays. The
subject matter u controversy is
tract of land near Los Angeles city.
The contest commenced in 1872 In
our local Land Office, whe:e a deci-
sion was rendered in favor of Con-
Ian. An appeal was taken to the
Commissioner of the General Land
Office, where the rulings Of the
Register and Receiver were re-
versed. Conlan thereupon appealed
to the Secretary Of the Interior and
obtained an order reversing the
Commissioner. The next step ta-
ken was the payment by Conlsn
IF the government price of the
property and the issuance cf
certificate of purchase. Upon this
certificate suit was instituted to
eject Qulnby, and the District
Court of this County rendered
Judgment In favor of Conlan. An
appeal having been taken to our
Supreme Court the judgment Of
the lower court was reversed upon
the ground that certain important
testimony offered by Quinby had
not been included. Meanwhile U.
s. patent for the Ian d issued to Con-
Ian and he dismissed his pending
suit and commenced again, basing
his claim on the patent. He again
obtained favorable decision from
our District Court, but new trial
was granted because the defendant
had not waived jury In the man.

trial resulted in similar tudg-

good old ale, who was wrecked on
the Society Islands, and who put

who regretted his restoration to

by twenty days. labor, when here,
on Kern Island, five days ordinary
labor would furnish him with
enough of an almost perfect food,
in the form OF ground wheat, to

ten days more would give him

of fruit per day-thus making
total expense of 2{ cents for graiu
aud l6 cents for fruit per day. SO
we have total of 1871 cents per
day, or $66 so per J ear, or 1920
for each person; and as wages
here for ordinary work are S1.50 per
day, II you board yourself, 1t would
take less than fifteen days labor to
provision each one year on u full

choicest fruits, giving the best
health and gustatory pleasure, ard
as in the experiment we used them
all uncooked, the only work OF
preparation necessary to be per-
formed was few minutes time
each day preparing the grain in

than five minutes for each person.
Instead of getting the very un-
