FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.


All lands that contain more water
| than is needed by the crops growing
| upon them. If you intend to raise
corn or wheat the land will need more
drainage than if intended for grass.
Even grass lands need not be very wet,
as if too wet the growth of aquatic
|plants and grasses takes the place of
the cultivated grasses and ruins the
hay and pastures. Loose, porous soils,
underlaid by sand or gravel, are drained
| by nature; but all land that is under
laid by clay, rock or other impervious
material needs draining. What is to
be gained by underdrainage ? The
sur ace of the water in the soil is
lowered. The roots of the cereals and
grasses may penetrate as far as to the
surface of the water, but never into
it. 1t is necessary to draw the water
off to such adepth as will give the roots
OF growing crops plenty of room to
reach downward for that nourishment
that is necessary to their growth. If
the water is only one foot from the
surface the roots of plants have only
that amount of soil from which to

vantage of having their feet wet by
capillary attraction. Only aquatic
plants grow well with their feet in the
water. The lowering the water be-
low the surface prevents large
amount of evaporation and its effect
in cooling the soil. The water being
removed, air and warmth are admitted
to the soil. Drained lands are for this
reason ready for planting at least one
week earlier in the spring. The
growth of crops is quicllened through
the summer by the increased tempera-
ture of the soil, which amounts to
several degrees, and the early frosts
are prevented in the same manner.
Crops are, therefore, given an in
creased period in which to make their
growth of at least two weeks. This
is certainly very important gain

A Mountain of Copper.

About fifteen miles south of Luning,
in the Silver star district, is one of
the largest bodies of copper in the
world. Parties who have visited the
ledge say that it is simply indescrib-
able. There are two parallel veins
running easterly and westerly that
crop out in places over 100 feet deep.
Burrows have been cut down through
the exposed ledge by the action of the
elements, and all through as far as eX-
posed it is one mass of copper ore.
Several hundred tons of ore have been
taken out of prospects dug in various
parts of the lode that runs from ten
per cent. to sixty per cent. per ton.
Facilities for working are excellent;
good roads and water sufficient for all
parties are near the mines. -Esmtr dlCla

A Common Disease in Cows

The appearance OF hard SWellingS
upon the jaws of cattle is very COM
mon source of complaint. The causes,
character and treatment of these tu-
morS do not seem to he well under
stood. Few persons are aware of the
true character Of bone. Many suppose
it to be a solid, stony structure, insen-
sible and incapable of disease. But,
on the contrary, the bones of an animal
are highly sensitive and are furnished
with nerves, arteries and veins as the
muscular part of an animal is. This
is, of course absolutely necessary, as
the bOny frame of an animal is built
up and repaired by matter drawn from
the blood, and this matter is conveyed
to every portion of the bone by the
bloo1 precisely as it is to every portion
of the muscular tissue. When bone
is injured it undergoes a process of re-
pair, just as muscle does when any in
jury occurs there. Ifthis process goes

Position of Agriculture.

Professor w. II. Brewer, of the New
Haven Scientific school, SAYS "Agri-
culture is both an art and science.
The art of agriculture is very old, al
most as old as the human race. The
science of agriculture is very young,
almost as young as some who hear me
speak. Before the modern means of
transportation were devised, and be-
fore commerce had s. placed all civ
iliZed nations into one brotherhood (;
when regions, separated from each
other by even moderate distance, did
not and could not stand in direct agri-
cultural competition; when agricul-
tural methods were simpler, and So
ciety's wants were also simpler, then
the art suiliccd very wei to feed and
clothe the people as they then lived.
But now, when distant regions stand
in sharp competition with each other
in the markets of agricultural pro-
ducts, the science must play more i'm
portant part. The art still varies with
the locality, with the soil, the climate,
the traditions of the people, and the
observation-disclosures local cond tions
which control the agriculture of any
one particular place. The art is local
AID changeabie, but the principles of
science are fixed and general. The art
must be changed or modified with each
new invention, with new facilities for
transportation or production, but sci
entidc principles, remaining fixed, may,
however, be applied in new directions,
with the new need or new conditions,
or it can be applied in new ways to re.
move old difficulties"

DELICIOUS PEA delicious pie is
made by stoning and chopping one
heaping cup of raisins, mixing with
them the juice and rind Of one lemon,
the yolks OF two eggs. Bake with
bottom crust only, and make merin-
que of the whites of the eggs. You
may put one whole egg in the pie, and
make it with an upper crust.
Eggs on ToAsT.-Poached eggs are
very good served on rounds of toast,
which should be cut from slices of
stale bread, toasted carefully, buttered
and laid in a heated dish with spoon
full of boiling water poured on each
slice. When the eggs are poacled lay
each one on its own round of toast,
pepper and salt it and serve imme-
diately.
STEWED TOMATOEs.-Pour boiling
water over six or eight large tomatoes
to remove the skins, and then cut
them into saucepan. When they
| begin to boil pour away little of the
| juice; add small piece of butter,
pepper, salt and add very little sugar
Let them cook for about fifteen
minutes, stirring in well the seasoning.
Some add a few bread or cracker
crumbs.
COLD FISH CUTLETs.-Melt an
ounce of butter, add an ounce of flour
and a gill of milk; let it boil and
thicken. Then stir in the flavoring,
lemon Juice or vinegar, salt, cayenne,
or a little anclovy sauce or paste. Last
OF all, add about a breakfast cupful of
cold cooked fish cut small. When this
mixture is cod shape it into outlets or
balls, egg and bread crumb them, and
fry in hot fat or oil.
SOUTHERN VEAL Sour. Peel and
boil half dozen onions; drain them
and slice them thin. Have ready two
pounds or more of veal, sliced thin;
put the veal in pot; season with a
little salt and cayenne; cover the veal
with the onions, and lay on them some
bits of fresh butter, rolled in flour;
flavor with nutmeg and lemon if you
like. 1t will make a nice lamb or
chicken SOUP.

sensitive, seem to be most affected
Inflammation first occurs; this Is a.
companied by soreness and pain, and a
swelling soon appears. The innamma-
ton spreads into the substance of the
bona, which breaks down pus IS
formed; the tumor breaks, discharges,
and forms an open ulcer As the dis
eased bone dies it produces fetid mat
ter which has a peculiar odor. by
which dead bone is easily recognized.
When the jaw is njurel by blow as
frAn stanchion (and this is a very
frequent case or from stick, or from
the horn of another animal, the peri
osteum or covering membrane of the
bone is inllamed. a swelling may
form, Which in such Il case is loose and
appears to be attached to the skin only.
If not treated at once the Inflammation
may spread to the bone and lbrous
growth form upon it, The disease
may exhaust itself thus, leaving the
hard tumor remaining. But usually it
spreads inward and affects the bone
and produces all the effects of the con-
stitutional disease above described. By
absorption of the diseased matter the
blood may he poisoned, and in the case
of breeding animal the disease may
be communicated to the progeny by
Inheritance through the blood. Or a
diseased tooth may produce the inham-
nation in the bone, and such cases are
common in which this r. suit has led to
the destruction of animals.
The disease is known chiefly as
osteasarcoma, or ostitis, these meaning
plastic or soft degeneration (sarcoma)
of the bone, or Inflammation of the
bone. In no case is it contagious. The
treatment is not generally satisfactory,
although it is not necessarily incurable
in its first stages. That is, the de-
graded bone cannot be restored, nor
can the iibrous growth he removed,
and the hard tumor will remain, but
the disease may possibly be stopped,
and further degeneration of the bone
/ be prevented. 1t is not disease that
can he treated in any case except by
an intelligent person under competent
advice or by a capable veterinary sur
geon. The treatment consists of anti
septic applications and medicines, as
injections, or carbolic acid diluted with
water, into the tumor and hyposulphite
of soda in continued doses of a dram
or two daily, with liberal feeding of
the most nutritious food--that rich in
phosphates is specially useful. Some.
times COWS kept on gray lily soils that
are deficient in phosphates are more
than usually subject to this and other
diseases of the bones.

Advantages of Pusturing Hogs.

The improvement of the soil which
may be effected by pasturing hog, is
we'll worthy Of considerate attention.
There is much land in the older settled
portions of the country which is worn
out by long cropping and for the
restoration of which the manure
supply is limited. BY applying enough
fertilizer to these lands to produce a
good crop of clover, the land might
then be pastured with hogs and its
fertility SO increased as to greatly
improve its productiveness. A glance
at the fertilizing material contained
in clover will make plain how bene-
fetal such course must be. A
moderately good stand of clover would
afford two tons of hay in one season,
and a good growth would afford three
or four tons at two cuttings. But sup
pose the clover produce at the rate of
two tons of hay per acre. These two
tons according to analyses by Professor
Voelcker, of England, would contain
112 pounds of nitrogen, which at
twenty cents per pound would be
worth Sl2.4O; twenty-six pounds of
phosphoric acid which at ten cents per
pound would be worth $3.50; and sixty
seven pounds of potash which at seven
cents per pound would be worth S4.69
making total of $29.69 as the value
of the fertilizing material contained in
the hay of one acre of clover. BY hay
ing this clover consumed by hogs on
the ground nearly all the fertilizing
elements would be returned to the soil
as no very large amount would be re-
moved in the flesh of hogs. Three
very decided advantages would attend
the pasturing Of hogs: the fertility OF
the soil would be rapidly improved, the
cost of production would be greatly
diminished, and superior article o1
pork would be produced. Are mo-
these advantages sufficiently great t.
induce more general adoption of thu
practice of pasturing hogs, instead o
shutting them up in filthy and small
pens? The flesh of the pig, wheI
reared in clearly manner, is unex
celled in flavor by that of any of til,
domestic animals reared on the farm
by improving the wholesomeness an(
flavor of the pork the consumption
would be increased, SO that farmer
would find ready market near hom
for all that they could produce. Tn
bacon made from pasture fed hog
would be decidedly better than tina
from the over fat hogs. On the whole
there is much to be gained by pastur
ing hogs instead of keeping them il
pens.--ni1TOr and Farmer.
