TIE dew which condenses on the
leaves of plants is from the vapor of the
lower atmosphere and is highly charged
with ammonia 1t Is this which makes it
so invigorsting to plants. As the water
dries off much of this ammonia passes
away, but what drops on the soil Is
saved. The moral of this observation
is that in plowing grass land the team
should be got in the field early il the
morning to plow under as much dew as
possible This science confirms the
conclusion of practical farmers.

way, and if any syrup is left in the
kettle it may be boiled until thick and

BLACK PIGs.-A good horse may be
of any color" and 80 may good pig.
But swine breeders have thought other
wise, and pig that is not black has no
friends. 1t is much the same with
short-horn cattle. which must now be
red, and everybody has heard of the
popularity of solid-colored Jerseys. A
few years ago It Was q rare thing to
see black pig. and yet there were
good bacon and ham in those days; but
in recent years the fashion has all run
IN favor of black swine. The demand
now seems TO have been supplied for
these black pigs, and, fancy having
been satisfied the human passion for
change will soon assert itself again and
the white pigs will become popular.
The coming event already casts its
shadow before it, for there Is grow
ing fancy for the red hogs of New Jer-
sew, and these are masses of fat, with
very small proportion of lean muscle
to carry the great load of fat. The red
Jersey breeders pride themselves on
the weights of their pigs, and unless
these average near 700 ponnds per head
they are not happy. 1t Is an easy
transition from red to white, and 1t
may be change for the better, for
since the black hogs have been in fash
ion we have had all those troubles
about trIchin@ and hog cholera.

Although great Improvement was

where protected by the black lines OF
the tracing. The plate is washed,
which has the effect of removing the
portions still soft that have not been
protected by the lines. Acid is then
poured over the plate. which bites into
the lines, as IN ordinary etching, and
the plate is polished to give sharpness
to the lines. Any number OF copies
may then be struck off with printers
ink. as in copper-plste printing. The

AGRICULTURE.

Bow TO TRANsPLANT-There is no
pant of gardening that requires more
care and skill than the transplanting OF
plants SO as to retard their growth as
little as possible. AS preliminary to
this operation, the young plants should
be uncovered If in hot-beds and exposed
to the full power of the light and air
that they may be hardened and ready
for the change. The ground about the
roots should be kept thoroughly wet for
n short time before the plants are re-
moved, as this causes the earth to cling
to the roots more firmly, and gives them
life and vigor. More plants do better
if transplanted In cloudy or rainy wea-
ther, but if this cannot be done they
should be set out at nightfall and shiel-
ded for few days from the direct rays
of the sun. The cavity for the roots
should be made large enough to admit
of their insertion without cramping or
crowdIng together. Let the soil around
be thoroughly loosened and pulverized
so that the new roots to be formed will
haye a free growth. When the roots
have been set in the cavity pack some
line soil directly about them nearly to
the surface and fill on top with rich,
loose earth. Water frequently until the
plants begin to grow again. BY e1er-
cising little care such plants as cabba-
ges, celery, rutsbagas and tomatoes
may be transferred to the open ground
with no perceptible change Id their rate
of growth,
