In bad seasons honey is apt to be
poisonous. This arises from the fact
that in such seasons the bees are often
obliged to gather it from poisonous
flowers. Great care should be taken to
remove all poisonous plants from the

many people in Philadelphia died from
eating honey gathered from the flowers
of the kalmia latifoia. In good seasons
the bees avoid poisonous plants.-PhiLa-

Plants and Animals.


The connection between these two de-
partments of life is closer than is pener-
ally thought. The plant is the bridge
between the mineral and the animal
world. 1t digests and assimilates mineral
matter, and then yields its own substance
as food for bird, beast and man. Plants,
like human beings, have capacity for
culture and for what might be called
civilization, which gives comeliness at
the expense of vigor, and often of fer
tllity. The favorites of our gardens are
monstrosities, with little power to propa-
gate their kind.
The plant and man equally depend on
sunlight for health Each will alike
starve without its proper food. Analo-
gous diseases, to some extent affect each.
In both cases, life and health often fail
before influences too subtle even for
modern science to explain or detect.
Plants, like blood-sucker5, frequently
draw their entire life from their fellows.
AS men are often poisoned by the bite
or sting of insects, 50 are plants. Nut
gals and other gals are merely tumors.
morbid or diseased growth, due to such
stngs. Says the Nedjcal Record " There
are hundreds OF varieties of such calls
easily distinguishable, and each one owes
its existence to a different agent''-a
different kind of poison from the differ
ent insect that bites it.
1t is now known that large portion
of human diseases result from micro
scoplc plants which find their way into
the system, multiply with inconceivabe
rapIdlty, and draw their support from
the most vital parts Of our bodies.
Says the above authority, "The num-
Der of parasites which infect plants is
enormous. There is hardly towering
plant which is not injuriously affected
by one or more fungi which pray upon
It, The grapevine alone is attacked by
at least thirty species, The morbid
changes which these parasites induce are
manifold ; the rust on wheat, the scab
on apples, the rot in potatoes and in
fruits, all represent the activity of these
foreign intruders." All forms of mildew

The Preservation Of Eggs.

Much scientific attention has been de-
voted in France to the preservation of
eggs. The leading principle of all pro
ceSses is the protection of the interior of
the egg from the action of the atmos
phere, and consequently it has long been
settled that only the freshest eggs are
eligible for preservation. To the solu-
ton of the problem of how to prevent
the air from penetrating the she'll of the
egg, the experiment of such eminent
SGUdi1ts as Musschenbroek, Reaumur and
NOllet have valuably contributed. They
all agree that the most practicable
method is to envelop the new-laid egg in
light coating of some impermeable
substance, such as wax, tallow, oil OF a
mixture of wax and olive oil, or of olive
oil and tallow. Reaumur suggests an
alcoholic solution of resin, or thick So
luton of gelatine. Nollet experimental
successfully with India rubber, col
lodion and various kinds of boot yarnish.
In practice, the most successful method
has been that of CORNER, of Mans. This
consists in covering the eggs with var
niSh, the composition of which is kept a
secret. The eggs are packed on end in
W
their freshness during quite nine months
in any climate. Cadet de VauX sug-
gested the plunging of eggs for twenty
seconds in boiling water, in order to
cOagulate that portion of the albumen
nearest the shell, and then to pack them
in vessels half filled with sifted cinders.
This which, by the by, has been
well known in some parts of Scotland
for many years--yieldS excellent results,
but if neglected but for a second or two,
the eggs are liable to harden. The pro-
cess known as Ginning" in England,
and as the Cadet Gassicourt process in
France, is very popular; on the other
side of the Channel, however, "limed"
eggs are never eaten q Ia c0que. but only
in the shape of omelettes, etc. Some
preseryers claim to obtain better results,
as far as the taste of the egg is con-
cerned, by substituting ordinary salt for
lime. The solution, it is said, penetrates
the shell, and so acts upon the organic
matter as to diminish its susceptibility
to decomposition. The eggs are i'm
mersed during several hours. Appert,
the Columbus of food preservers, gave
some attention to the subject of egg
preservation. His fayorite process was
to introduce the eggs into a bottle half
filled with bread crumbs to prevent
breakages. After carefully corking the
bottle, he placed it for several minutes in
sand bath, the temperature of which
he kept at seventy degrees. For home
consumption, the French peasantry have
for ages preserved their eggs in a very
simple fashion. They take a wooden
case, or q large barrel, and pack them in
thick layers Of sawdust, fine sand, chalk,
bran, cinders, or coal dust, so that they
do not touch each other. In the Mari
time Provinces, the peasants use layers
of ashes moistened with salt water.
Both these processes are successful.
Drying eggs and reducing them to pow
der Gan invention paterted by Cham
bard in 1922 is another method of
preservation that is probably pursued
in France. - London Grocer.

Contract Work on Farms.

The report comes from England that
considerable proportion of the work
on farms there is now performed by con-
tract, This is especially true of cutting,
curing, and putting up hay. The hay
season occurs at the time when farmers
ana the usual number of men employed
ABOUT the place are engaged in harvest
ing gram and cultivating turnps, and
the labor Of securing the hay-crop is let
out by contract. Some enterprisinu man
organizes force of laborers, purchases
team and some tools, and contracts to
cut, cure, put in stack and to cover with
thatch all the grass that grows on several
farms in the same neighborhood. Oc-
casionally all the men in the force are
interested In the contract, and work on
the cooperative system. The farmer
generally furnishes teams portion of
the Tune, and some of the tools required
Tor haying, and sometimes furnishes
meals and lodging for the men. 1t is
canned that the men who work on the
contract system perform more labor than
thoSe who are employed by the farmer.
mat they acquire much greater skill in
the use Of tools and machinery and that
they build and cover stacks better than
common laborcrs. BY having the use
OF several teams they economic in the
employment of moving machines and
make one do the work that is ordinarily
performed by two or three. The farmer
who lets out the contract for securing
ms hay crop is able to devote all his
tlme as well as that Of his ordinary farm
heip to doing other kinds of work. The
working of cultivated crops is not neg
iected, as it is likely to be when all the
men are called off to work at haying.
considerable saving is also effected in
t ol purchase of machinery for haying. -

Lightning Rods.

Of late years so many buildings have
been injured by lightning that were sup
posed to be fully protected with light
ming rods that public opinions becoming
somewhat changed in regard to the eff
cacy of lightning rods, We apprehend
that in many, perhaps the most of, cases
where damage has been done, it has
been caused by the rods being imper-
fectly constructed, or put up wrong, or
perhaps permitted to get out of order
after being put up.
Some men who put up rods do not
understand their business; others, find
ing the owner of building unwilling to
pay the price that it will cost to fully
protect his building, will put up half rods
enough to protect it and assure the
owner it is fully protected.
If an iron rod is put on q building
with points to attract the electricity
from the passing clouds it is of the high
est importance that it should be so put
up that it will carry off all that it at
tracts, or it ha better not be on the
building. If the end of the rod does
not reach the ground, the charge of
electricity will leave the rod, and in all
probability enter the building and greatly
injure it, This is a well understood
fact, yet many buildings have rods on
them that have been broken off, and so
do not reach the ground; in many cases
the owners know this but do not take the
trouble to repair the break. 1t is also
well known that to carry off the cleo
tricity safely, the end of the rod must
descend to moist earth; but notwith-
ing this well-known fact, many rods are
put up so that the rod descends into the
ground so little depth that the ground at
the end of the rod is dry most of the
summer.
1t is laid down as a rule that point
of a rod will protect only circle twice
the diameter OF the height of the point
above the building, yet how many en-
deavor to protect thirty feet building
with one or two points only five feet
above the building, thus protecting less
than tWo-nlnths of the building. Some
times we see rods running across the
roof in different directions, with little
points every foot or two in length but
with only one, or at most two rods de-
scending to the earth, thus inviting a
large amount of electricity, without
making the proper provision to carry it
off
Those who have rods on their houses
should carefully examine them every
year and see that they are in proper
condition; or if not, to remove them
altogether; for it is always dangerous to
have a lightning rod on building that
is not properly put up, and always kept
in good Massachusetts, PLouqh-
