POrsnips for Animals.

When mixed with hay and other
dry feed, parsnips are valuable for
horses and cows, the feeding being
commenced gradually, as with roots
generally. They possess an important
advantage over other roots, in that the
crop may be safely left in the ground
all winter. as freezing does not iniure
them when they thaw out in the
ground, and thus the labor of late au-
tumn harvesting is avoided They are
easily dug in spring by plowing a
furrow close to the row and away
from it, and pulling them out by hand
"a few bushels being taken out at a
time as needed. A quarter of an acre
yielded 100 bushels last year on our
grounds, or 400 bushels per acre.
Notwithstanding the extraordinary
drouth. AS the tops start to grow in
spring they are rapidly cut off with
sharp hoes, and thus the roots are kept
for feeding for several weeks-Country

FOR THE FARM AND HOME,
Roses from Cuttings.

European horticulturists sometimes
adopt this mode of planting rose cut
tings so as to root with more certainty.
They bend the shoot and insert both
ends in the ground, leaving single
bud uncovered at the middle and on
the surface of the ground. The cut
tings are about ten inches long, and
are bent over a stick laid fiat on the
ground, holes being dug on each side
of the stick for the reception of the
ends of the shoot. The roots form
only at the lower end of the shoot, but
the other end being buried, prevents
evaporation and drying up. A cor
respondent of the London Garden saws
that he has tried this, along with the
old mode, and that, while the weaker
cutting of the latter have shown symp-
toms of dying and failure, all the for
mer have grown vigorously.

Fruit Culture.

The annual report on Fruit Cul
ture'' issued by the Michigan State
Horticultural Society, contains results
of the experience of its members and
many practical directions. A member
who advocates summer pruning of
small fruits applies it to the straw
berry by keeping the runners cut, by
which crown upon crown is added and
the size and the prOductiveness of the
fruit increased. He applies it to rasp-
berries and blackberries by pinching
back, to concentrate the bearing wood
and admit free passage between rows
for cultivation and gathering the crop.
Black caps require, in his opinion,
more pinching than red raspberries,
and early thinning, the leaves secures
well-ripened wood. Thinning in time
will make weak-growing sorts strong.
Thinning the peach crop is generally
recommended. Some growers thin out
one half to two-thirds of the fruit on
loaded trees, leaving the peaches seve-
raj inches apart. Some do not thin
until early in July, others do it early
in June or before the pits harden, as
that is believed to be the process which
exhausts the trees.
Professor Beal, on the subject of
cross-fertilization, says that crossing
strawberries is easily accomplished :
all that is necessary is to plant two
sorts together. But grapes fertilize
before the flowers open, hence the
covering must be removed and the
stamens be carefully cut away and
paper bag be placed over the flowers to
prevent any outside pollen from reach
ing them. The pollen having been
previously gathered and secured in a
bottle, is applied within day or two.
It is easily gathered for this purpose
whole stamens being cut Off and drop
ped in the bottle. Apples are easily
crossed, and are the best fruits for the
novice to work on. Cut all the sta
mems away before the blossom of a
cluster, and remove the others. In a
day or two touch the five stigmas with
the selected pollen. 1t is easier to
effect crosses in glass-houses, in the
absence of wind or insects, which often
disturb results.
Flowing in green rye for enriching
orchards has its advocates, who espe-
cially recommend this course in peach
orchards. The seed should be sown
in August, so as to secure a dense
growth before winter. 1t must be
turned under in the spring as soon as
the heads begin to appear. A single
crop is insufficient, the green manur-
ing should. be continued year after
year.

The HOMling Monkey.

The bowling monkeys are the larg-
est found in America, and are celebrat-
ed for the loud voice of the males. Of
ten in the great forests of the Amazon,
or Orinoco, a tremendous noise is heard
in the night or early morning, as if IA
great assemblage of wild beasts were
all roaring and screaming together.
The noise may be heard for miles,
and it is louder and more piercing than
of any other animals, yet it is all pro-
duced by single male howler sitting
on the branches of lofty tree. They
are enabled to make this extraordinary
noise by means of an organ that is
possessed by no other animal. The
lower jaw is unusually deep, and this
makes room for hollow, bony vessel
about the size of large walnut, situa-
ted under the roof of the tong le, and
having an opening in the windpipe by
which the animal can force air into it.
This increases the power of its voice,
acting something like the hollow case
of violin and producing those mar
velous rolling and reverberating sounds
which caused the celebrated traveller
Waterton to declare that they were
such as might have had their origin
in the Internal regions. The howlers
are large and stout-bodied monkeys
with bearded faces, and very strong
and powerful grasping tails. They in
habit the widest forests; they are very
shy, and are seldom taken captive
though they are less active than many
other American monkeys.

The Ear.

Perhaps the most acceptable theory
to-day is the one which places the ori-
gen of the trouble in the inner ear.
The ear consists of three parts: the
outer of these runs in as far as the
drum; the middle part is the inside of
the drum, and contains the chain Of ear
bones; while the inner ear is a compli-
Gated affair, containing the essential or
gan of hearing.
AS far as we are concerned, the in
ner ear is a membranous bag filed
with fluid, and situated in the solid
bone. From the back part of this
bag run out three semicircular tubes
communicating at both ends with the
bag or vestibule. These run in three
different planes, and are lined with
hair-like nerve-flameMts, which are
much more numerous and sensitive at
the anterior part of the tubes. The tubes
are filled with liquid in which float
little calcarious particles, the otoliths.
These tubes are known as the semicir-
cular canals. 1t was difficult to see
what connection with the sense of
hearing these canals could possibly
have, and some time ago it was noticed
that injuries to these impaired the
sense of hearing in no way, but caused
most curious effects in the loss of the
equilibrium.-PopWEar Science Month

Venom of SernentS.
Post.

A remarkable discovery in toxicolo-
gy, the science of poisons, has recently
been made in this city by Drs. s. Weir
Mitchell and Edward 7. Reicher'.
These gentlemen have for some time
past been conducting an elaborate
study of the vcnoms of almost all
American serpents, the bites of which
are poisonous, as well as many foreign
ones, and the recent report is made up
from selections from their notes. Up
to this time all observers have regard
ed the venoms as representing single
poison, but the researches of Dr. Mitch
ell and DR.. Reichort 60 to show that
many of them contain two and several
separate poisons.
The venoms especially mentioned
are those of the rattlesnake. the moccaS-
in, and the copperhead, which were
obtained in a fresh state, in which
they are all in the form of slightly
turbid. yellowish fluid. Dried cobra
venom was also produced from Calcut-
ia, India. 1t was found that in drying
the venoms about seventy-five per cent
Of their weight was lost, and that in a
state of aqueous solution all the prop
critics of the fresh venom were pre-
served, except that the intensity Of
the poison was slightly diminished.
The reports show that the venom of
the moccasin snake contains three pro-
teides-one analogous to peptones.

lines, and a much more fatal poison.

save in degree. In all alike, there is
