Wintering ices in cellars appears to

II is the experience Of many farmers

Both for its effect upon fattening and
upon health q small amount Of wood

FOR THE FARM AND HOME.
Adaptation Of Soil.

Mr.. Moffett, a contributor to the
Rural World, makes the acknowledge
ment that he sacrificed 81, 900 in try
ing to establish fruit farm on uncon.
genial soil, and worried himself gray
headed over the blunder before he
discovered that the soil and loca'
ton Of his farm was well adapted to
grazing and just the place for stock
or dairy farm. he consoles himself
with the reflection that after all We
know but little and We gain information
only by the experiences OF ourselves
and others. He concludes from fire..
quent observations that many farm.
ers make similar mistakes by not under
standing or not stopping to inquire, as
he failed to do, what. was the best
branch OF farming for their soil, or
what the particular crops that were best
adapted to it. All OF which goes to
prove that il farmers would more gen.
orally read the papers, which are so
full Of the experiences Of others and OF
information directly connected with
their calling, such mistakes would not
be apt to occur.

Origin OF the Swallow Tail.

For q short time after he became
Gambetta's successor Brisson appeared
in the Presidents chair of the French
assembly in frock coat instead OF the
orthodox evening dress which that body
was accustomed to see in that place.
But he soon changed his mind and
donned q coat OF the traditional cut.
This incident has caused an inquiry
into the pedigree o. the swallow tail.
the result Of which is that this peculiar
though comfortable and convenient ar
ticle Of apparel is declared to be direct
descendant Of the old French dress
coat worn in the days Of Louis XIV.
Time has produced notifications in
color, texture and outline. but the
features Of the modern saspsnt are

Sowing Small Seed.

Take calceolarias, for instance, OF
begonias, the seeds OF which are as fine
as dust, and SOW either in the ordinary
way, and the chances are that the whole
will be lost whereas by preparing the
soil properly and sowing on its service,
both kinds OF seeds terminate freely.
First drain the pot or pan. and then put
over the crock some moss or rough
aiftings from the potting. bench, and on
these some OF the finer soil, finishing
off on the top with very fine sifted soil
mixe1 with little silver sand. All
should then be pressed down and made
level and smooth, and then watered
through fine-rosed pot or damped by
means Of q syringe. when, after stand
ing to drain for time, all will be ready
for sowing. This can be the most
readily done by opening one end OF the
packet and gently shaking it sideways,
keeping it, when doing SO, nearly on q
level, in order that the seed may leave
the paper slowly and evenly, as then
there is no difficulty in causing it to be
distributed regularly over the surface.
This part OF the work over, the next
thing is to provide against the seed suf-
fering from want OF water or the soil
getting dry. For this purpose nothing
answers 30 well as piece OF glass laid
over the pot or pail. as it keeps the air
in a thoroughly humid condition. A
bell or hand-glass answers the same
purpose il kept close, and in sunny
weather it Is always advisable to shade,
as solar heat and light soon draw out
the moisture. Should the soil become
the least dry, the safest way to damp it
is to bedew il with water from syringe,
as it can de done more lightly than
with a watering pot, il the syringe is
used with dexterity. Seeds Of larger
size than those named may be slightly
covered, or have very thin sprinkliDg
OF fine silver sand scattered among
them, but only just enough to give
color, and not bury the soil. Seed the
size Of mustard may be buried an eighth
Of an inch deep. and so on in proper
ton; but the great point with all TO
secure free termination is 10 have an
equally warm, moist bed, from which
they can come forth without any loss

a City in Darkness

NEWARK, N. j., Jan. 3l.-This
evening the gasometer of the Citi-
zens' Gas Company, on Front street,
exploded. tearing off the top of the
gasometer and scattering the debris
about the street. The iron cylinder
covering the gasometer had become
tilted by the weight of snow and ice
upon it and by the force of the wind
until the Chains holding it in place
broke and the top of the gasometer
struck against the brick sides of the
tank producing spark OF flame.
An explosion followed. The flames
leaped two hundred feet in the air
and in an instant the whole city
was lit up by the blaze. In sec
ond more the whole northern part
of the city was in darkness. No
one injured and the surrounding
property was not damaged. The
loss is estimated at s20,0o0. The
explosion leaves ali the city above
the Morris Canal in darkness. The
gasometer at the time of the eSplo-
sion contained one hundred thous-
and iceI os gas.
