A well-regulated garden cannot be con-
sidered complete unless it contains a Sc
lection of some Of the principal varieties
Of sweet, aromatic herbs for soups and
other dishes. Some of them are really
indispensable, and almost all herbs are
,serViceable in various culinary opera
tions.
There's no use in plunging into the
caves OF theory and guesswork tor expla-
nations of mob uprisings. A country
that spends S9O0,000,000 year for liquor
and only $50, 900 900 a year for her schools
mnst not expect perfect security against
the bloody violence OF the rabble.-Phild-
delphid Press.
All grocers should instruct their Gus
toners who use can goods to pour out the
contents of the can as soon as it is cut,
says the st. Louis Grocer. 1t will not do
to wait fifteen or twenty minutes. The
can should be emptied at once. A few
minutes exposure TO the air while in the
can will give the contents metallic taste
that is not at all agreeable.
Competition is now so great in every
department of production that profits
must be derived from more economical
methods. This competition begins at the
factory and ends with the goods in the
hands of the consumer. 1t is constant
and sharp. Only those who heed it car
survive. This is the jist of the observa-
tions of a successful business man.
DR.. Sturtevant states, in relation to n.y.
bridizatiOn Of beans, that from variation
of bush sort called the golden cranberry
was produced in eleven distinct forms.
The tests illustrate the Importance of

from other varieties than their own, and
says that without insects to distribute the
pollen we would have no seed produced.
A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer
advises the placing of old tin cans on the
fire until the solder melts aud they can be
pulled apart. Then take the large pieces
of the can ard wrap around the fruit
trees it is desired to protect from mice,
pressing the edge of the tin firmly into
the ground. The mice viii be discouraged
by the tins and will turn in another di-
rectlon.
A writer in scientific journal ridicules
the idea that apples sweat and that they
must undergo a sweating process before
they are put in barrels in order to keep
well. he states that only injury comes
from leaving apples in piles in an orchard
and that the moisture found on them comes
from the atmosphere. He recommends
placing them in barrels as soon as they are
picked.
Securing Or diarrhea is chiefly confined
to pigs only a week or two old, and often
results in death. The cause, generally,
is a poor quality of the sow's milk. When
a litter is attacked with scours always
change the sow's diet and be careful to
give only such food as is of good quality.
The pen should also be thoroughly cleansed
and sprinkled vita weak solution Of car
bolic acid.
Among the new applications of cotton
is its use, in part, in the construction OF
houses, the material employed for the pur-
pose being the refuse, which, when ground
up with about an equal amount of straw
and asbestos, is converted into paste,
and this is formed into large slabs or
bricks, which acquire, 1t is said, the hard
ness of stone and furnish a really valua-
BILE building stock.
The Florida Exposition Commissioner,
Mr.. Sebring, having found an oak tree
rs feet in diameter wrote TO MIR. Hamilton
Disston asking him to have saw about
20 feet long made at his factory to cut off
a cross slice of the tree trunk tor the Ex-
position. Mr.. d. replies: eve will try to
make saw to answer your purposes, as
it gould be quite feature to have such
blocks ON exhibition"
a good deal of interest as hardy plants for
lawns. They are perfectly hardy and
grow to height OF from six to nine feet.
They possess not only the extraordinary
merit of having their foliage covered with
the hues of autumn the entire season, but
the delicate formation of their leaves gives
many of them the appearance of the most
fantastic ferns. Nearly every known
shade of color is found in the leaves.
Plants require food of two distinct kinds ::
food for their organic part and food for
their inorganic or mineral part. From the
stores existing in the atmosphere, in the
form of carbonic acid and ammonia, they
receive partly the food which nourishes
their organic part and partly from the or
ganic matter in the soil. That which
nourishes their inorganic or mineral part
comes solely from the soil. Tillage opera
tions tend to increase plant food in the
soil.
A free application of soft soap to fresh
burn almost instantly removes the fire
from the flesh. If the injury is very Sc
we're, as soon as the pain ceases apply lin
seed oil and then dust over with fine -four i.
When this covering dries hard repeat the
oil and flour dressing until good coating
is obtained. When the latter dries sllow
it to stand until it cracks and falls off, as
it will do in day or two, and new skin
will be found to have formed where the
skin was burned.
In value the railroads are next to farms
in the United States. BY the census of
1880 we learn that the value of farms,
farm machinery and stock was $12, 104,-
0S1, 440. The appraised value of all rail-
roads was 1920, DOC, 900. The gross value
Of all farE products for the year 1879, as
given by the occupants of farms to the
gross income of all the railroads for that
year was $770, 900, 900, which is only lit
tie over one-third OF the products of the
farms.
A department of growing trees and
plants has been created for the Minnesota
exhibits at New Orleans, and j. M. I'm
derwood, of the Jewell Nursery in Lake
City, appointed superintendent. The de-
sign is to plant, in the Minnesota garden,
at the Exposition, specimens of all nurse
ry and forest trees and plants Of economic
value, and as many others for botanical
study as may be practical. Planted in
December, the foliage and blossoms will
come out in January there, the same as
in May in this latitude.
Not long ago it dawned upon the but
terine men that there was less weight of
water in their product than the real but
ter. This was, of course, a kind of self
cheating which could not be proftabIy
INDUCED in. So the use of calcic chloride
was resorted to, as 1t has a great merit,
in this case, of being able to take I'D 10
per cent. of water without in the least
showing it. Starch or -four is also used
for the same purpose. The latest sub
stance employed by the butterine makers
to add weight by absorbing water is CELIA
tine, which is said to work nicely. Gly-
cerine is being considerably used to add
favor to the compound. A woman has
recently obtained q patent on the use OF
the yelk Of eggs and milk in the butter
manufacture, but it Is difficult to see how
they can be probably used.-N dtional
