One evening there was reception, and
among the people who came was

was SO fascinated by him that hardly felt
like talking, but after awhile found myself
seated beside a charming Jewess, Miss X,
young woman full of enthGsiasm for her
race and proud to talk of it,

The science of the Farmers.

The breaking up or the winter can not
now be long delayed, and nobody is so
deeply interested in the weather for the
next few weeks as the farmer, because the
success of many of his crops. to no incOn-
siderable extent. depends upon the way win
ter ends and spring begins. From time be-
yOnd memory the farmers have been wealth
er-wise folk, through tue necessities of their
business, and little disposed to consult other
Oracles than their own. Times have lately
changed in this respect, however, and many
of the farmers who are now turning over in
their minds ihe best plans for meeting the
exigencies of this anomalous season. ana
assuring success for the crops of 1882, will
acknowledge their Indebtedness TO an edu-
cation that is not altogether based upon
farm traditions. While this country is
apparently yet behind Europe in the
facilities which il affords for agricul-
tural education, yet very gratifying
progress has been made in this respect and
tee study of farming as a science is spread
ing rapidly. What has already been ac-
complished is shown in an exceedingly in
teresting article by Miss Annie T0lman
Smith in a recent number of Education.
She points out the results of the act of Con-
gress of 1862, by which certain public lands
were donated to States and Territories
on condition that Colleges for the
benefit of agriculture and the
mechanic arts be established by those
States which accepted the donation.
Forty-six schools or departments of Colleges
and Universities have been endowed from
this source. In forty four of these as we'll

which was not so endowed, special provision

Salts for Animals.
journal of Chemistry


It is well-known that herbivorOus animals
are fond Of common salt, and this is true OF
Wild animals as well as OF those dOmesticated
by man. CarnivorOus animals, on the other
Land, either have no liking for salt, or show
positive aversion to it. Cats, for example,
will rarely touch salt meat. rhe difference
is not easily explained. The blood OF both
classes OF animals contain "A certain amount
OF soda salts, but the quantity OF soda in q.
vegetable diet is not necessarily less than in
one of flesh a German expermenter,
Herr Bunge, has been the first to
suggest a plausible solution of the
enigma. A vegetable dit furnishes
IWce as much potash as a flesh diet does,
Hid IL occurred To him that the greater sup
ply OIL potash must be attended with
greater waste of soda. To test this theory
xperImenlally, he put himself upon per-
iectly uniform diet of beet, bread, butter,
sugar and a small quantity of salt. When.
by daily analysis OF the urine, he found that
the quantity OF soda aud potash eXcTeted had
become constant he proceeded 10 take such
dose OF potash of salts during tine day rs

The Castor OH Bean.

A pamphlet issued by a New York tallow
and soap manufacturing concern gives the
following brief Instructions regarding the
planting and cultivation of the castor bean,
that may be suggestive to growers OF the
plant in its appropriate latitude: Almost
any soil that will produce Indian corn Will
answer for the castor bean, but sandy loan
is preferable. The soil should be deep. This
crop does not thrive in heavy, wet soils The
ground should be well plOughed ana har-
rowed three or four times. Tne seeds should
be planted five OF six feet apart each way.
Between the sixth and seventh rows the
distance should be eight feet, to admit
light cart or slide in harvesting
the crop. Hot water, a little below the
boiling temperature, should De poured over
the beans twenty-fodr hours before planting,
and they should remain soaking in the
water twenty-four hours. They generate
much quicker by using no. water. Eight or
ten seed should be dropped in each hill and
covered to the depth OF about two inches.
The beans should be planted as soon as all
danger OF frost Is past, or about the time
cotton is planted. Cultivate shallow, keep
the weeds down and the ground well pull
verified. One stalk in a hill is sufficient,
but do not thin out until cutworm season is
past When the pods begin to turn brown
il is time to harvest castor oil beans. They
should be spread out in the hot sun, on d
hard clean surface. allowing twelve or fif.

and chemistry as related to agriculture has
been spread among those in whose hands IL
can be most useful. Miss Smith also points
out that intimate relations are springing up
between the agricultural Colleges and the
various State associations for the promotion
Of agricultural interests.
There is yet great deal to be done before
these Colleges can be regarded as accom-
plishing their object, bat they have at least
made good beginning, and there is is no
danger that the progress of agricultural edu-
cation will ever go backward in this coun-

not mention the Minister at ALL Whether
the Kings rights are adapted to constitu
tioDal forms IS matter of indifference. for
they are fixed by the prGssian Constitution,
and the Prussian King felt the necessity of
reminding us OF this fact he did so in the
mildest manner. The Kings OF Prussia
have never viewed their position as a ques-

Great called himself the first servant Of The
State. The actual Prime Minister of Prus-

These words were followed BY an indie

turning rouno and facing the Left he ex-
claimed: IF you believe that Ministers
intend TO cover themselves against Parlia-

then overrate yourselves. If you reproach
me, who have served my King for twenty
years, of cowardice. it must oring blush TO
your face" A fearful uproar followed.
The whole scene was brought on by the
preceding speech of the Progressist Deputy,
Professor Haenei, who declared the rescript
was intended for no purpose but to cover the
responsibility OF the Ministers by the Kings
person.
1t was this expression that reused Prince
Bismarck and led to the scene above de-
scribed.
