THEORY OF CROP RoTATIoN.-Iti is now
generally admitted that Iotation of crops
Is rendered necessary not as formerly
supposed because the soil becomes ex-
hausted of some necessary element, or
because unwhoiesome for that particular
plant, owing to poisonous excreta left
by the roo S, but because insects and
and diseases accompany the plant which
are special to 1t, the eggs or spores OF
spores of which are left in the soil to
attack the saline crop in the next fol-
lowing year with hnndredfold increase
of numbers and power. Professor Bes-
sy, OF the Iowa Agricultural College,
shows how this Is the case with smut,
which grows up through all the interior
of wheat plant and finally develops its
spores within the bran casing OF the
gram, filling it Lot with -four, but with
innumerable black, sinking seeds OF
the parasite which, when set free, float
out aud stick fast 10 sound grains OF
wheat and also to particles of the soil,
where they lie ready to enter into tine
circulation OF the next years growth oi
wheat plants, unless killed by sleeping
the polluted seed in blue vitrIol solut.o d.
and drying off with lime. As to the
polluted soil 1t is purified from the con-
mination only by using it for some other
crop On which the smut plant cannot
take hold.

The New York florists, recently dec
grated with plants and flowers on a
large scale for a weddiag. The style
earned out WAS decidedly English. The
reception room, where the bridal party
stood, was one bower of noble palms,
tree-ferns, and foliage plants. Group
rngs of blooming plants were inter
spersed among the ornamental leaved
ones, and masses Of selected cut flowers
were so placed as to give the loveliest
effects. The entire house, which was
a spacious one. was SO dressed with
tropical growth that it was like one
vast conservatory. The ceremony took
place in the parlor, the bridal couple
standing IN q bower of palms. They
knelt before a Gordon of Japanese ferns
and clustered roses. Vines of ferns and
the ''ciassic laurel garianded the MIR
rors. The mantles were massed with
maidenhair ferns and pink roses, and
over one of them was spider most ar
rlstlcaily made OF the fern called Neph-
rolepsis Palestica. Under this mantle
was q bed of white roses, edged with
clusters of brilliant crorens. An innL-
vatlon of the usual fashion was the
hanging OF the bridal bell in the corri-
dor. Another bell of flowers swung
from coil OF roses at the entrance to
an adjoining parlor. A slipper OF
roses was suspended before II mirror.
Horns OF plenty and bows and arrows
dropped from among the towering
foliage plants. This decoration was a
royal one and on scale rarely equalled.

AGRICULTURE.

PRESERVING SALT ME.T.--Mueh of
the corned Deef and salt pork put up by
farmers becomes tainted or completely
spoiled during the summer and fall. The
injury is not caused by using too small
an amount Of salt. As a rule, much
more salt is employed than is necessary
to preserve the meat. Sometimes it
contains impurities that cause the meat
to contract a bad flavor. Pure salt
should be employed for preser wing meat
and dry products. 1t costs but little
more than that which is impure, and it
Is more satisfactory IN all respects.
Meat packed in barrel and covered
with brine becomes tainted or spoiled
in consequence OF small Lortions Of 1t CT
some of the fat CT blood it contains
coming TO the Top of the brine. The
air comes in contact with it there, and
decomposition takes place. The pro-
ducts of the decomposition Of aninal
substances always have an unpleasant
taste and smell, and these In the case
of meat in a barrel are communicated
to the BRINE and from thence to the
meat. Meat packed in brine should be
cut in pieces with very sharp KNIFE.
This Will leave the edges smooth. After
it has been for few days in the brine
the latter should be poured eff and
Loiled. The toIIing will cause all the
impurities to rise TO the surface while
the blood will be coagulate6. These
substances should then be skinned of,
and when the brine is cold it can be re-
turned to the barrel. If the brine does
lot continue pure, the operation of
boiling should be repeated. Special
pains should be taken TO keep the meat
under the brine at all times. A perfor-
ated top or false governor frame work,
should rest on the meat and be weighted
down by clean stone. If these pre-
cautions are employed the liability of
spoihng will be very slight

WHERE carpets cannot readily be
taken up and shaken, they may be very
much frightened and freshened by be-
ing wiped with mop wrung from

frequently changed. If the mopping

this may be easily done without wet
