1t is said that a Tablespoonful OF

The only certain way to secure seed
that will terminate is at harvest time
to select a load or two or at least a

and at threshing time.-Erchange.
Grass, says the Ohio Farmer, is the
sheet anchor Of successful farming.
The proportion of grass lands in any
section of the country is pretty sure
index of the degree of agricultural
prosperity enjoyed. advancement made,
or profit produced. Where grass is
neglected labor is increased and soils
are deteriorated.
If a corn stubble is to be sown to
wheat the corn . should be removed
from the ground and the stubble plowed
under. A frequent method is to sow
the seed upon the stubble and then cover
it by blowing a light furrow. The sur

rough, which, we believe, is best.-N.

An exchange SAYS that q little salt
sprinkled on manure heap is one OF
the best applications for both summer

the heap from freezing solid, and at any
season makes the manure more soluble.

Asphalt as Fuel.

Inventors ought to find good field
in the study of some effective means to
utilize asphalt as fuel. The solution of
this question would be of great service
to this country. 1t is said that many OF
what We're thought to be coal mines,
recently discovered in various parts of
Mexico, are really deposits of bitumen.
Now while asphalt is highly combusti-
BILE there seems to be at present no
practicable method to utilize it Us fuel,
owing to its melting when subjected to
heat. 1t is likely, however, that with
the demand for cheap fuel now felt all
over the country for railway, mining
and other industrial purposes, some eff
fective method can be devised to make
practical use of its heat-producing quail
tiles burning it, perhaps, after reducing
it either to liquid or vaporized form.
The inventor of such a process could
command q handsome fortune for the
use of the right in this country. The
products of the new oil wells in Vera
Cruz, much of which are said to be too
heavy for illuminating purposes, might
also be utilized in the same manner

The Preachers Quiet Habits.

Sedentary and studious men some
times become Frustrated before they
know it. Those who spend much
time in close mental work and neg
lect to take enough exercise often
find their stomachs unable to do the
work of digestion. The liver be-

regularly. The brain refuses to
serveas it'once did. Their preaching
becomes a failure, and there is state
of general misery. So many minis

Between Biloxi and Mississippi City
the engine broke down and the train
was brought to a standstill. When the
conductor announced that it would be
two or three hours before we could pro-

sauntered across the field to a negro
cabin and sat down in shady grove.
There were dozen or more dogs around
the place, and presently two of them
engaged in a savage fight lasting about
ten minutes. They were finally sepa-

Spider Life Wonders.

Scientific American
In a lecture at the Lowell Institute,
Professor Wood dealt with the phe.
nomena of spider life. The female
is larger and much fercer than the
male, who while paying his addresses
is in constant peril, frequently losing
some of his legs. In one tribe the
female is 1900 times as large as the
male. The spiders thread is made
up of innumerable small threads or
fibres, one of these threads being es-
timsted to be one two-millionth of q
hair in thickness. Three kinds of
TIRED are spun: One ofgreat strength
for the radiating or spoke lines of
the web. The cross lines, or what
sailor might call the ratlines, are
finer and are tenacious, that is, they
have upon them little specks or glOb-
ules Of very sticky gum, These
specks are put on with even inter.
spaces. They are set quite thickly
along the line, and are what. In the
6rst instance, catch and hold the legs
or wings of the fly. Once caught in
this fashion the prey Is held secure
by threads flung over it somewhat in
the manner Of . lasso. The third
kind of silk is that which the spider
throws out in q mass or food, BY
which it suddenly envelopes any prey
Of which it Is somewhat afraid, as for
example, = wasp. A scientific ex-
perimenter once drew out from the
body of 9 single spider 8, $50 yards
Of spider silk-a length . little short
of three miles. Silk may be woven
Of spiders thread, and il Is more
glossy and brilliant than that Of the
silk worm, being Of = golden color.
An enthusiast ent0mologist secured
enough Of it for the weaving Of 5
suit Of clothes for Louis XIV.
