How Watch Cases are Made.

It is q fact not generally known that the
james Boss Gold Watch Gases really con.
tain more pure gold than many "sclid"
gold cases The demand for these watch
cases has led to the manufacture Of very
poor grade of solid gold watch cases
low in quality, and deficient in quantity.
These cases are made from A to 10 karats,
and 5 or karat case is often sold for II
or Il karats. 1t is NOT economy to buy q
watch case SO poor in. quality that it viii
soon lose its color, or one SO soft thas It will
lose its shape and fail to shut tight, thus
letting in dust and damaging the works, or
one SO thin that . slight blow will break
the crystal, and perhaps the movement.
It IS economy to buy james Bose Gold
Watch Case, in which NONE Of these things
ever occur. This watch case is not an expert
ment-it has been made nearly thirty gears.

Some Streaks of MOonshine.

The Rev. DR.. Willis, of Louisville.
KY, has Teen lecturing on the illusions
of moonshine, in which he tells some
truths and gets off some anecdotes.
The true mission of wit and humor. he
says, is to be the spice of sensible talk.
An old preacher delivered number of
sermons on Jonah, and even made that
q dry subject. Said the parishioner !:
If the whale was as sick of Jonah as I
am, I don't wonder it threw him up. )"
Moonshine, said DR.. Willis, is used to
express illusiveness. Illusions attach
themselves to every passion, to every
faculty of the mind, to the senses Of
the body, and to all periods of our lives.
An old gentleman was with great diff.
Guilty persuaded by his nephew to ride
for the first time on the steam cars. In
the car the old man and the young one
were separated. Presently they came
to tunnel, about which the nephew
had forgotten to tell his uncle. When
they emerged from the darkness the
old gentleman was cropping his way
through the aisle, with his eyes tightly
closed and crying out: John, John. /

the speaker as if to assent to all that
was said.

The Demand for Apples.
1t was thought that the abundan
OPP of apples in England last seaso
The Demand for APPLES.

1t was thought that the abundant
crop of apples in England last season
would spoil the demand for American
apples, but the demand is as great as
ever. Russets and Newton pippins
have found a permanent market in that
country, and there is complaint that 4
cents apiece is too high an average
price for them. Speaking of the En-
glish product q writer in the London
Garden places Cox's orange pippin at
the head of the list. Scarlet nonpareil
is mentioned as an apple of great
merit. Mannington's pearmain never
fails to produce a good crop. Lodg-
more nonpareil is quite small, but ex-
cellent in favor in March and April.
Ribston pippin appears to have lost, at
least in part, its great popularity. The
tree is liable to disease, and the fruit is
hard and dry. Blenheim orange is a
fine apple, but q poor bearer. Cornish
gilliaower is SO unproductive that the
writer does not get six apples a year
from 2O-year tree.

Care of Young Stock.


The season is here when the dairy
man must both select and properly
care for the calves which are to become
factors in the dairy. The National
Live Stock Journal has the following
respecting the care to be taken of
calves out of which good COWS are to be
grown: s'When selected, the young
animals should be treated with sufi-
cient care and iberality in feeding to
keepthem growing thriftily. New milk at
this season of the year is valuable. and
dairymen often think they cannot af-
ford to feed it, and it is certainly a
pretty costly feed, but it is not a
necessity. We have raised calves for
many years, with very satisfactory re-
suits, on skim-milk, by beginning with
new milk and changing gradually to
skim-milk; always feeding it warm and
sweet, till the calves become old enough
to Craze for a considerable share of
their support, when the temperature of
the milk was reduced by slow degrees
to the temperature of the air, supply
ing the place of cream with some nutri-
tious substitute, usually little oil-cake
or cooked corn meal"

Planting Corn,

E180C10& COfus
Because particular piece of land has
produced corn successfully for num-
Der of years does not imply that the
land is to rich, or that it can endure
such taxation indefinitely. Nor should
the methods usually in practice be
maintained if better systems can be
presented. The question of deep or
shallow blowing for corn is still unset
tied, but that corn does best under
thorough cultivation cannot be denied.
Good and clean cultivation for corn not
only promotes the growth, increases the
yield and hastens maturity, but the la
Dor OF SO doing is compensated for by
the good condition in which corn land
is left to be followed by succeeding
crop of wheat, rye or oats. Weeds and
grass in the cornfeld are very insight
~, and if the crop is neglected for q
week after the intruders appear the
work of eradication is increased four
fold. The proper way, therefore, to
work a cornfield, is not to allow weeds
to go to seed, and it is safe to say. not
to permit them to secure even q stand.
Weeds do more damage to corn by
depriving it of moisture than BY rob-
bling it of nutriment. When dry wealth
or sets in the cultivator, by loosening
the earth, permits the absorption Of
moisture from the atmosphere, and al
so induces an upward capillary attrac-
ton from below. Every weed or bunch
OF grass requires moisture as well as
the corn, and takes it away from the de-
sired crop as completely as if the sup
ply from the corn was cut off entirely.
Thus, in our warfare against weeds we
assist the corn to obtain more moisture,
admit q free circulation of air to the
roots by cultivation, render the parti-
cles Of earth fine, thereby enabling the
plants to obtain greater nourishment,
and prevent the seeding Of the land
with obnoxious weeds which interfere
with the operations of the following
season.
Corn should be planted early, from
good seed, the cultivator kept in con-
slant activity, and every advantage al
lowed for growth and for yielding q
large crop. Farm and FSreside.

Worth Knowing.

The chief reason why the oil cloth
on the kitchen floor wears out so soon.
and makes it q heavy expense to keep
1t IN good condition, is this when it is
washed it is not conscientiously dried ;
patches here and there are left moist,
and the cloth soon becomes rotten, the
coating peels off, and all comfort from
having . neat kitchen floor is dispensed
with. A flannel mop will do wonders
in the way of drying the floor. It should
be OF old, soft flannel, but there must
also be desire on the part of the one
using the mop to do the work as it
should be done, and she must be will
ing to take cloth in her hand with
which to dry the corners.
