II is reported that discovery has
been made near AndeInacb, On the
Rhine. Remains of prehistoric animals
have been found in pumice-stone pit,
and Profes sor Schaaffnausen, of Bonn,
has investigated the spot closely. A
lava stream underlying the pumice-stone
was LAID bare, showing width of only
two metres. The crevices between the
the blocks of lava we're filed with pu-
milestone, generally from a depth OF
one-hsf to one metre. below this, how
ever. there was pure loan and clay ard
in this were found numerous animal
bones, apparently broken by man, as
we'll rs many stone implements. 1t is
supposed there was settlement there
of which the food remains fell into the
lava crevices before the whole was coy-
cred with pumice-stone.

AGRICULTURE.

NOTES In THE FRUIT YARD.-It is get
ting TO be a prime matter in planting
apple trees to secure varieties that are
hardy. The old seed ng orchards wer I
as secure as elms, but not so our finer
sorts. Evolution in quality does not Sc
cure survival of the toughest wood.
The tendency is rather the other way.
OF the harder sorts of late introduction
the Spy ranks high. The Roxbury Rus
sett Goes not easily kill, while the Kirk
land is as tough as the toughest of the
old-time seedlings. These are the three
best late winter keepers and most hardy
trees.
Those who pant pears should select
those which do not need to be hurried
to market. OF these the three most
profitable and best are Sheldon, D'Anjou
and Clsirgeau. The two first are
also shapely trees. and all these are
hardy.
A few peach trees from seed should be
on every farm. They will give a great
deal of satisfaction when they do bear,
and take little room when they do not.
Seedlings from Early Crawford are like
ly to give hardy as well as good varie-
ties. The Wager also may be re-
lied on. as well as Amsden and Alexan-
der.
No fruit Is more profitable, with pro-
per care, than the ounce. The trees
must be sheltered from cold winds and
protected from the frost. This last can
be done by liberal mulch of coal ashes.
The ounce is easily propagated by
planting cuttings six inches to a foot
long, set in good garden i'll. The trees
must be well cultivated to be of special
value. 1t is impossible to get good
crop OF ounces from trees grown in
green sward. The best variety Is still
the old Orange.
There are two rules in planting fruit
trees, or for that matter any trees, that
cannot be too carefully applied: 1. Al
ways cut back the limbs sharply. If
the tree is large, cut away nearly all the
top. So in planting evergreen hedges;
down with tbem;shear away hals or two
thirds. 2. Mulch heavily, mulch every
thing; mulch always.

HAT.-The best quality of hay is OBJ
tanned by cutting the grass while IN
bloom. For this, moving machines
are indispensable. The scythe may do
for the fence corners, but not for gener-
al use. In choosing mower, look to
lightness of draft, strength, and slmpli-
city of construction. As between equally
good machines, it is best to buy the
one made nearest home, for convenience
III making repairs. 1t is safer to have
the cutting bar ahead, and to one side
of the driver. Tue tedder Is valuable
adjunct of the hay field, greatly facihta-
ting the drying OF the grass. The best
hay Is made by curing in the cock.
Sweating improves the quality of hay,
and prevents its heating in the NOW.
Cut grass that has had the sun for one
day may be put up in large COCKS,
where it will keep well for a week if
necessary, if protected from rain and
dew by cops. These caps are easily
made from common sheeting, and fire.

according to the report of the she'll
fish commission In Connecticut, there
are some 9 800 acres of oyster grounds
under cultivation and under the juris-
dIction of the State. A new mode of
cultivation, or capture Of spat for seed
on muddy bottoms has been invented
at Groton. Birch trees about twenty
feet in height, aud three or four inches
in diameter at the butt, are thrust about
three feet into the mud, with the tops
under the surface of the lowest water,
and inclined at an angle of some 45 de-
grees with the current. The floating
spat attaches itself to the branches and
grows rapidly; a single bush affording.
IN few months, five to fifteen bushels
OF seed-oysters, none of which would
have survived settling on the muddy
bottom An absurd claim was made
that these submerged bushes produced
scarlet fever and diphtheria, and many
have been destroyed; but the plan has
recently received legal recognition, and,
with proper effort, can be made to pro-
duce millions of bushels.of oysters where
is now only waste ground.

Physicians have long regarded odors
as due to small particles thrown off by
the odoriferous substances, bu: the
fact that some substances emit power.
ful odors for great length Of time
without appreciable loss of weight
makes this theory unsatisfactory. Light
aud heat are now explained as mod 9 OF
forms of motion. This view is known
as the undulatory theory. and it has
been suggested litely that the pheno-
mena of odors may be best accounted
for by the same hypothesis.

States, Is, ID round numbers, Sc, ,000, 700

For more than thirty years We have

bad scour by its mothers side, three or
four days old; We put 1t on another COW
and saved the calf. We could not per-
celve anything amiss with the mother
or her milk, but it did not suit her

Water is sometimes used to cool a
circular saw it also enables q saw to
work in smaller kerf. thus saving pow
er; and it also acts as partial lnbrica-
tor. 1t should be directed in Jets on
each side of the saw near the centre.
Its use, however, should be avoided in
cold freezing weather. Allowing the
saw shaft to play endwlse is one of the
most effectusl means of keeping the
saw cool. When the timber springs
against the saw, tending to heat 1t at
the tire, the end play of the shaft
allows the centre OF the saw to yield; at
the same time the guide pms at its re-
riphery keep it in line, and the friction
Is thereby reduced, and liability to heat
diminished In a corresponding degree.
