ROSES FROM CurrINGs.--European
horticulturists sometimes adopt this
mode of planting rose cuttings 80 ~ to
root with more certainty. They bend
the shoot and insert both ends into the
ground, leaving single bud uncovered
at the middle and on the surface of the
ground The cuttings are about ten
inches long, and are bent over a stick
laid fiat in the ground, holes being dug
on each side of the stick for the recep.
tion of the ends of the shoot, but the
other end being buried, prevents evap-
Grafton and drying up. A correspond
ent of the London Garden says that
he has tried this along with the old
mode, and that, while the weaker cut
tings of the latter have shown symp-
toms of drying and failure, all the for
mer have grown vigorously.

The State Fair,
THE NEW BUILDING FOR THE EXHIBITIONS
OF THE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

Progress is being made in the prep
aration of the new grounds of the State
Agricultural society at Broad and Hunt
ingdon streets, Philadelphia, for the
annual exhibition, which will be held
during the latter part of September.
The tract of land comprises about
thirty acres, and runs westerly to Lamb
Tavern road. 1t is the intention to lay
out the ground in lawns and plant it
with trees and shrubs and ornamental
fountains. The main exhibition build
ing will be 800 feet by $50 feet, and
on the line of Seventeenth street. The
machinery annex will extend west from
the main building, and there will be
other extensions from the centre when
needed. Floral hall will cover $50 by
60 feet, and the building for the exhi-
bition of fruits, vegetables and other
products will be 200 by IS feet. The
department of public comfort will be
$50 feet long by IS in width. There
will be stalls for 250 cattle and 150
horses, pens for sheep and swine, and a
poultry house 200 feet by so. The
total cost of the building will be about
$50,O0O and at the exhibition premiums
to the amount of $4,000 will be offer.
ed. If sufficient funds are contributed
for the purpose the society will enlarge
the main building to the proper pro-
portions for music hall 1t is the in
tention of the state society to hold an
nual exhibitions at Christmas time,
similar to the Smithfeld display in Lon
don, where fat cattle and poultry will
be exhibited.

The Stars.
SIGHTS AFFORDED BY THE SKIES DURING
TIE PRESENT MONTH.

August is the least brilliant month
of the year for stellar displays. The
dog star, Sirius, with his magnificent
retinue of heavenly damon Is, is al
most in conjunction with the sun, and
there are very few stars of the first
magnitude to reward the search of the
gazer. The brightest one now visible
is Acturus, fine red star, which may
easily be found by following the curve
made by the handle of the big dipper,
which is now up side down. Continu-
ing in the same curve, low down near
the horizon, is Spicai the only first
magnitude star in the constellation
Virgo. Over in the south the Crab
has things all his own way, with An
tares flaming red from the middle of one
of his claws. Up higher just beside the
Milky way, the middle one of three il
q straight row, is Affair, the gem Of
the constellation Aquila. Almost di
rectly overhead, in the early evening
beams the standard first magnitude
star Vega, in the Tyre. The planets
are very coy this month, Mercury an(
Uranus are evening stars, but they
don't count because they are invisible
Saturn does not rise until after mid
night, and Mars is later Both are
now in the "rainy Hyades;' will
whose principal star, the ruby Aide
baran, Saturn will be in conjunction a
sunrise on the 18th. Jupiter does no
rise until three o'clock, and Venus i
so late as to be eclipsed by the coming
king of day. Later in the month, how
ever, Jupiter will be seen at any tim
after two o'clock, aud venus, although
still late, will be visible as the sun get
lower The absence Of planetary at
fractions, however, may be more thar

Sheep often goa long time without

Sheep often go long time without
drinking, especially if in a pretty good
pasture, and the dews are so heavy that
they can fiji up with wet grass in the
morning but when they do want to
drink, water is as necessary TO their
health and comfort as to that of any
other animals. Therefore, keep sup
ply of pure water in the sheep pastures
as in any other and if the sheep do
not drink from it. give them little salt
once week They should have salt
as often as once week under any cir
cumstances.

For the year ending June 80, there
were 599,114 emigrants landed in this
country, being fewer than during 1881
-s2, but more than any other year in
our history.
There was a decrease from nearly
every country that ships its surplus
population to America, the heaviest de-
crease being in Germans and in Scan
dinavians. The emigration from Scot
land showed a slight increase, while
from Italy there was scarcely any varl-
alton. Ireland is sending less people
than at any other time and now barely
contributes 10 per cent. of our foreign
population The decrease in emigra.
tion shows either a better condition of
affairs abroad or worse one in the
United States. just now the mining
regions of Pennsylvania hold out nc
aattering promises of fortunes easily
made, as our working people are able
to fill all the places needing muscle OF
brains. The Poles and Hungarians
who come here commence at the very
lowest round in the ladder and work
for far the smallest pay possible. The
Irish, Welsh, Scotch and Germans dc
all the contract work of driving chutes
and headings, gangways and tunnels
and besides fill all the chambers iT
every colliery. A foreigner coming
here must do loading or pick slate.

case and thus avoid encouragement

not at all essential to it's success.
