grains. 1t keeps for a long time If stored
in a dry place; it is used to give consist
ency to soups, and for other culinary purposes
Glucose, or grape sugar, is prepared from
potato starch this substance is employed IN
the manufacture of beer, and for mixing
with grape juice in the manufacture OF VINE
Potato pulp is distilled to produce brandy,
and c0gnac so-called, is thus made and sub
stituted for that distilled from grape juice
In the manufacture of brandy from potatoes
a peculiar alcohol is formed which is vari-
ously called potato spirit, fusel oil, or amyllc
alcohol This gives disagreeable flavor to
the brandy, and is separted by rectiticatlon.
When this spirit is distilled with Oil of Wit
riol it yields the volatile liquid called potato
spirit ether, or amylic ether, which, when
compounded with various acids, gives re-
spectively apple oil, grape oil, and cognac
oil. Many of the artificial sweet smelling
others are chemical productions from potato
ether, and under chemical treatment pro
duce cheap limitations of various agreeably
fragrant perfumes.
Potato cheese is made by reducing boiled
potatoes to pulp. To five pounds of this
pulp are added one pound of sour milk and
portion of salt. The whole is kneaded to-
gether and the mass allowed to lie for day
or two, when it is further worked and made
into small cheeses, which are hung up in bags
or baskets to allow the escape of superfluOus
moisture; they are then dried in the shade
and kept in close vessels in dry place till
used.
The pulp remaining after the extraction
OF the starch becomes hard and horny when
dried. 1t is employed in the manufacture
OF various ornamental articles, as picture
frames, snuff boxes, and toys of the papier-
mache character. 1t is also stated that pota-
toes stepped for certain time in water to
which has been added eight per cent. of sui
phuric acid, and afterwards submitted to
pressure, will form into a material which
can readily be carved into any design, and
when made into pipes has resemblance to
meerschaum; billiard balls have been made
of it, so hard does it become.

the Messrs. Manville, although partaking
largely of the business catalogue, contains
many useful hints to beginners in orange
culture; the varieties of fruits which they
enumerate are Systematically arranged and
that probably in as correct manner as pres
ent experience warrants They have emu
merated about thirty sweet oranges as being
distinctive in character, and many of these
are seedlings which have been raised in this
country. We doubt whether they have men
toned the true Bahia, or Navel Orange, so
highly priced in California, although we find
the variety alluded to in their list; there are
many oranges, we find, that have strong re-
semblance to the true Bahia and yet are
much inferior in regard to size quality, and
productiveness. The following extract is
taken from " SUggeStions on Culture: Situa-
ton and Exposure. Much nonsense has been
recently circulated about so-Called frost
line viz, an imaginary line somewhere in
the State north Of which the orange cannot
be successfully grown. While the trees are
less frequently injured by cold south of
about 293 degrees north latitude, still in
every county in eastern, middle and south
ern Florida the orange can be and is profit
ably grown. 1t is as d rule more difficult to
get the young trees up to maturity in the
northern part of the State, yet even here
there are favorable locations, where the trees
are as exempt from the effect of cold as in
south Florida. Where there is an occasional
danger of the young trees being injured by
cold they can be protected temporarily;
when they attain any considerable size they
will protect themselves

DWARF HORSE CHESTNUT - This is the
popular name given to the Paria parifora
beautiful Towering shrub, which forms a
handsome spreading bush specially adapted
for an isolated plant on lawn. Its flowers
which are white, are borne in long erect
spikes to which the prominent stamens give
a feathery appearance. 1t flowers in July, at
a time when few shrubs are in bloom. Like
Others of the horse-chesnuts this plant sue
ceeds best when grown in rich moist soil.
1t is easily increased from suckers, which are
produced in great profusion indeed the
shoots from the base increase so rapidly as to
soon form dense mass. The plant is quite
hardy.

INFLUENCE OF THE GRANGE-Take any
neighborhood containing a live, frst-class
grange, and compare it as it is now with
what it was before the organization of that
grange; it viii give you some idea of the in
tiuence of the grange. You will know for n
certainty that the atmosphere of the grange
breeds sturdy independence, intelligent ac-
ton, and kindly, sympathetic feeling. Before
the organization Of that grange who ever
heard such talk of the rights of a farmer. the
prerOgatives of the producer, the encroach
ments of combination of capital, or the on
preston of railroad mOnopolies, as you now
hear? Did you ever hear Of farmers main
tanning their just position and gaining
their just right by united action No
Did you hear of farmers helping one an
other in distress and trying to strengthen
the bond of common interests that bind them
in friendly relations, before the grange was
organized for that purpose? Did you hear
farmers engaging in public speaking or writ
ing for the press and TO advocate some meas
ure for their good and advancement? Very
rarely. These and dozen other things that
you cannot fail to notice are but the result
of the influence of the grange. 1t may be
fancy of mine, but l think that on the far
mers centre-table you will find more books
and periodicals than before he was granger,
You will find the door-yard neater, the fence
prettier, and flowers in as well as outside
the house. You find a hundred little acts
and courtesies that make life better, happier,
truer, and they have been learned Mt the
grange. You will find the crops better titled,
the cattle more economically fed and the.
manure more intelligently applied than be-
fore, for farmers profit by the experience of
one another, and this experience is related in
the grange hall. After noticing all these
very noticeable things, are you prepared to
say that the grange has no influence p. NJ. |

STIRRING THE SOIL Henry Ives, of
Pennsylvania, says that one test of good
farming brought out by last years excep-
tionaIly severe drouth, was the superior
crops of those who kept right on stirring
the soil, even when all weeds had been
killed, and there seemed to be no more to
conquer and they were stirring the soil that
was already open and loose. In one field of
corn of eight acres only one acre was hoed
as it was thought it could do no good in
such extreme drouth. That acre returned
about as much as all the other seven. Pota-
toes that were titled well gave 125 to 10
bushels per acre, where those neglected
yielded 80 to 90.
