Food and Health.
HYAc1NTH BULBs.-Their best treat
ment after blooming in the house is
thought to be to put the bulbs in the
open ground during the summer; thus
they are supposed to regain some of the
vitality exhausted by insufficient soil dur
ing the winter and blooming state. This
also enables them to multiply.
The soil for radishes should be very
light and rich. They grow fast, and are
able to keep out of the way of weeds
They can be grown in succession from the
time frost leaves the ground till late in
the fall. r
IMPROVING Corn. No grain is suscep,
tible of more changes or higher state of
cultivation and perfection. You can
make your corn just what you wish with
the proper care. 1t has been made to
yield all the way from one to dozen
fine ears to the stalk, and from FIVE to
nearly two hundred bushels per acre,
while the quality has likewise been
changed or improved with equal facility.
Economy OF Coop RoADs.-The econ
omy in horsepower obtained by using
the hardest and smoothest roads is clearly
shown. Ii one horse can just draw a
load, on level, over iron rails, it will
take one and two-thirds horses to draw it
over asphalt, three and one-third over the
best Belgian, five over ordinary Belgian,
seven over a good cobblestone, thirteen
over bad cobblestone, twenty over an
ordinary earth road and forty over sandy
road Scientific american
SALT FOR INsEcTs.-In olden times
when the "horse-sense gardners salted
the squares in their gardens after break
ing up in the spring, there was not so
much said about destroying insects. The
salt also acted as a fertilizer and aided in
retaining moisture. 1t was not sown with
the seeds, nor just before, but in time to
dissolve by dew or rain and be out of the
way.
