"A farmer in the Old Dominion has
raised 100 barrels of sweet potatoes to
the acre on very poor land with no fer
tllizer except heavy coating of leaf
mold. Wood-mold and wood-pile dirt
are found to be good dressing for land
planted with this vegetable.
1t is better to have all the ground in
an orchard occupied with vegetables that
can be eaten than to allow any part of it
to grow up with weeds. Edible plants
do not injure the soil any more than
weeds do, and if the first are not planted
the last will be sure to grow unless the
hoe is frequently used. A better plan
will be to use the pillow and the hoe and
let the orchard be the sole occupant.
The sweet chestnut (Castanea resca)
is large and handsome tree, and very
profitable when grown upon suitable
soil. The timber is valuable and dura-
BILE, and the fruit brings a good price.
1t is related that farmer in Canada
who had grove near his house, made
as much from the trees as he did from
the rest of his farm of fifty acres.--N Y.
Examiner.
"A veterinary professor SAYS that
''the great majority of ringbones in
young horses come from the failure to
shorten the toes.' To this may be added
that ringbone is apt to be formed if colts
are allowed to stand on plank floor, or
anywhere else where the footing is hard,
during the first eighteen months of their
age. Whether in stable or yard during
this period, let them have earth for
standing or walking free from stone or
gravel. Rural Nea0 Yorker.
Healthy animals will eat more food
In cold than in warm weather. When
the cool nights of autumn come the
skillful feeder profits by this fact by
giving an extra allowance of food to his
stock. He is abundantly rewarded by
hearing the grunts arising from that
comfortable pain which comes of
stuffed stomach, and by seeing his ami
mails thrive even though the grass has
lost its tempting succulence. Cattle,
swine and sheep are profitable only as
machines for turning food into flesh and
fat, and like other machines when they
are idle they are drain upon the re-
sources of their owner The hopper

Ike Trifacial Nerves.

The common trunk of these nerves is
the largest in the body. 1t immediately
divides into three large branches, with
many ramitlcationS, which terminate
mainly in the face. Hence their name
-trifacial.
The eye, tear-glands and upper lid
| depend on the first branch, while one
division of it passes through a canal in
the bony sacket and Families on the fore
head and head. The lower lid, cheeks.
upper lip and the teeth and gums of the
upper jaw depend on the second. The
lower lip, tongue, tonsils, the teeth and
gums of the lower jaw and the muscles
that work it, depend on the third.
The first and second unite in SUPPLY
ing the nose, including its mucous mem
brane, while the second and third supply
the mucous membrane of the mouth.
Some are nerves of motion. Others of
sensation. Paralysis of a motor-nerve
results in complete, or partial. loss of
motion in the parts supplied by it; its
disturbance gives rise to spasms, as in
lock jaw, from irritation of the nerve
which supplies the muscles of the lower
jaw.
Paralysis OF nerve of sensation
destroys all feelingin the parts supplied
by 1t; its irritation gives rise to various
neuralgia pains in the teeth, gums, ear.
forehead, or the face in almost every
part.
These neuralgia pains may be con-
slant, or occur with intervals of respite.
They are often agonizlng. The most
persistent are caused bv unnatural
growths crowding against the nerves. or

tide suits. The hackers of the scheme
are Boston company. never heard of
their recovering anything except few
wooden cups and platters and sundry
guineas bearing the likeness of the first
gentleman of Europe, George LII. And
yet the search has been kept up for thirty
years, and good money has been sunk in
the wreck of the old Hussar-thousands
and thousands of it. My friend who in
vested the $4,000 called to see me when
l returned from Russia. and told me he
was sorry he had not taken my warning,
but L could see that he still hankered
after the supposed treasure, and that he
still had lingering belief in its exist
ence, despite his sad experience. went
out to MOrrisania and witnessed the
diving for the treasure, which was done
without concealment, and became more
and more convinced that there was
nothing worth diving for. The theory
OF the manager was that the Hussar's
guineas had been packed in iron boxes,
and that the material in these had been
oxidized by the influence of the sea, and
that thus the divers were forced to work
slowly with drills and could accomplish
no satisfactory results. The fact is that
certain persons interested in the scheme
saw chance of making money without
raising it from the deep, and availed
themselves oft One man whose whole
life has been devoted to the Hussar and
its supposed treasures, has built row of
brick dwellings in Boston, 1 am told,
