Some years ago, says the Germantown
Telegraph, we heard farmer who had
become rich at the business, remark, in a
conversation on what might be called
good or judicious farming, that the ''test
of good farming is that every successive
crop is better than the one that preceded
it." To obtain such an evidence Of skill
full tillage, however, for long series of
years would, of course, be an impossi-
bility, but to keep the soil IN such a state
of fertility as to insure full and remu-
nerative yield when favored by the sea-
son, is an evidence OF intelligent farming
of by no means uncommon occurrence.
We have no fear of the ultimate pros
perity of the agriculturist who secures
this encouraging result of his labOrs. We
have seen extensive and highly cultivated
farms by subsequent injudicious cultiva-
ton degenerate into barrenness; and we
have not many miles to 90 to see the once
sterile and sandy plains Of Jersey, by sys-
tematic tillage, literally reWarding the
proper labors of the husbandman. Land
there that was formerly covered with rank
grass, huckleberry bushes and stunted
pine trees, now yield in an abundance the
choicest varieties of grapes, pears, cher
ries and apples, and all the field crops that
can be prOftably grown in the adiacert
States. Good tillage having developed
the true character of this once compare
lively unproductive soil, has in many To-
calities enhanced its pecuniary value,
and there are plenty of instances where
quarter of a century ago land that could
not be sold for five dollars an acre would
not now be disposed of for a hundred dol
lars acre Tins the value of the
soil OF New Jersey for agricultural pur-
poses becomes disclosed, the quantity and
worth of her grain, fruit and vegetable
products steadily increases, and will con-
tinue to do so.
And all this is the result of what we
simply call jndicious farming. and it an
swers the question which is asked at the
start C0leDedn's RHrdl World.

BITS OF SCIENCE.

Il. Winckelmann, Of Augsburg, Ger
many, obtains fire eXtinguishing pow
der by mixing three parts OXalate of po-
tassium (which gives up carbonic acid
when heated five parts b0rax, thirtY-fiye
parts sulphate of magnesia, twenty parts
ammonium chloride, twenty-five parts So
dunn chloride and ten parts ammoniacal
alum.
Blotting paper, saturated with a solu-
ton OF oxalic acid and dried, win not only
absorb the ink of blot but will remove
the blot itself if the ink is unmiXed with
indigo or aniline color. 1t might be dam
gerous in removing signatures from i'm
portant papers, but trace Of the writing
will remain, and can be made legible by
adding ferrocyanide Of potassium or gallo
acid.
Mr.. Richard A. Proctor holds that if the
full power of the arms and legs can be so
applied to ingeniously arranged mechan-
ism as to work wings more or less resem-
bling those of bird, there is little reason
of doubling mans power of sustaining
himself in the ait and even travelling with
great rapidity through it. Probably, he
adds, it will be much easier for him to
sustain himself while travelling rapidly
onward than while lowering over the same
spot.
A pint of linseed (not linseed oil used
weekly, in connection with a thorough
washing with hose, has been found to be
one OF the best substances to prevent scale
in steam boilers. The lnseed softens the
scale so much that it comes away like
sludge. Ground slippery elm bark also
gives good results. Potatoes have also
been found useful for the purpose. They
surround the particles of lime in the water
with starch and prevent them forming in
a mass.
One of the methods resorted to for re-
moving the disagreeable odor from petro-.
leum or benzine is that OF allowing it to
percolate through animal or wood char
coal, or by treating it with sodium carbo-
nate or lead carbonate. Sometimes So
luton of bichromate Of potassa is used.
acidifed with sulphuric acid, the benzine
being agitated with this, and subsequently,
washed with water. Another method is
to agitate the benzine with milk of lime,
freshly prepared.
A plan recently introduced into Belgium
for preserving wood from the decay pro-
duced by the atmosphere, water, etc, is
to fill the pores of the wood with liquid
gutta percha, which is said to effectually
preserve it from moisture and the action
Of the sun. The process employed con-
sists in exhausting the air from the pores
of the wood and filling them with gutta
percha solution, in pouring the solution
into the pore. The solid gutta percha is
liquefed by mixing it with parafin in
proportion of about tWo-thhtds of gIltta
percha to one-third of paraffin; the mix
ture is then subjected to the action of heat
and the gutta percha becomes sufficiently
liquid to be easily introduced into the pores
of the wood. The gutta percha liquefied
by this process hardens in the pores of the
wood as it becomes cold.

At a meeting of the Florida Fruit Grow
ers' Association Mr.. L. II. Hart, of Fede-
raj Point. read a paper on palms. in which
he alluded 10 the species that produced
the cocoanut, as follows: ssThe cOcoanut
palm is so well known that there is little
need here of a heightened description of
its uses. We have all eaten the nuts and
quaffed the delicious milk they contain,
but probably few Of us have drank it fresh
and cool from a green nut just taken from
the tree, which is the way to enjoy the
beverage in the fullest perfection. It is
already becoming one of the staples Of
South Florida, along the coast Of which,
and on the outlying keys, it is said to
thrive quite well. Time, however, win
show whether in Southern Florida, which
is about its northern limit, the maximum
of production can be obtained with the
minimum of labor and cultivation. as is
the case in the Caribbean islands further
south. In the tropics, the profit Of the
cocoa palm consists mainly in the oil eX-
pressed from the nut, the residuum or oil
cake used for feeding stock. and the
fibrOus husk, which is manufactured into
c0ir-rope, brushes, bFOOms, mating and
such like articles. The sap from the
young fruit stalks, which are wounded to
promote its flow, is, in the first stages of
fermentation, drank as an agreeable bey-
erage under the name of tOddy. and like
that of other palms is also boiled down
into sugar or distilled into spirits. The
wood Of the trunk, which is very strong
and durable, is curiously marked with
stripes of black and known as pOrcupine
wood. 1t is highly esteemed for making
violin bows, walking canes and many
fancy articles.

Importance of a Grass Crop.

Grass is not only king in respect to the
magnitude Of its growth and value, it is
king also in the perfection OF its nutritiye
elements as food for herbiVora. 1t towers
above all other plants in furnishing, in its
own composition, the most perfectly bal
anced ration for all that class OF animals.
1t furnishes prOteine and carbohydrates,
and fat and mineral, IN just the right pro-
portions for sustaining the bodies of the
class Of animals that consume it. Like
milk for young mammals, grass is both
food and medicine for herbiyOra. 1t re-
spends to all the demands for supplying
waste, developing growth, supplying
warmth and ills all the defects from the
use of less perfect foods, ard hence be-
comes powerful restorative and correct
i've of all the ills to which that class OF
animals is subject, except such as arise
from cOntagion. Its great healthfulness,
its easy digestion and the exact balance
in nutritive elements make it a desirable
source from which to derive dairy pro-
ducts. Nothing can surpasS succulent
grass as a milk-prOducing food, whether
quantity or fine flavor be considered. Art
may construct a ration that will equal it,
but it would require more science and
skill to compound it than is apt to be pos
sessed by dairymen, while in grass nature
furnishes ration ready to their hands in
4 bldLe OF pefIeCLlOn. InlS can only ne
said Of grass in its young and succulent
stages. When this growth becomes more
matured its character becomes materially
changed. Indigestible woody fibre is
formed from its carbohydrates, its fine
aroma becomes dissipated, its high-fa-
vored fats and its proteine yield to the
sharp tooth Of oxygen, and suffer change
and reduction, and its mineral constitu-
ents, necessary to its DEMONSTRATING and
milk-producing power, form new combi-
nations, less soluble and available, so that,
as it recedes from its succulent stage and
natures, it ceases to be the perfect food
it was in its earlier growth. Grass, as it
appears in nay, cannot be counted as king
of milk-produclng food. There are others
which surpass it in cheapness and quail

Enemr to Peach Buds

in working among my young peach
buds, which have grown about one foot, l
observed some of them dropping, and on
investigating the matter, found little,
gray worm about one-half inch long and
the thickness of a thin knitting needle.
The place where the insect stung the
shoot / could not discover, as it must
have healed over where the puncture was
made
In cutting off the shoots thus affected
they were found to contain worm with
out exception.
Had usually gone about two inches,
leaving the stem hollow behind them. All
the trees thus affected die above where
the insect works; and must start out
from below again, which retards their
growth and disfgures the young trees
somewhat.
l would advise those who have young
peach buds to look after them and destroy
these little pests.
Although some of the natural shoots
were stung. they seem to prefer the buds.
All 1 could find were destroyed, so as to
keep them from increasing if possible.

The Italian of To-day.


It is my firm conviction that to ninety
nine out of every hundred Anglo-SaXOn
tourists who visit Italy the people among
whom they pass their days are nothing
more than the artistic stutfing to a lovely
landscape. There IS no need to enlarge
upon Tie facJ THAI this is a most unfair
way in which to treat a great people.
Most of us, when we come home, rave of
marble palaces, of lovely moonlIghts upon
the lakes, of fair men and stately women,
of orange-fower perfume and firefiies; but
few of us really know anything whatever
about the natives.
While we who visit them live in the
past only, they live in the present as we'll
though by no means obliViOus of that
past. But of more immediate and burn
iDS Importance to them is the Italy of to-
day, for which they have but so recently
made serious sacrifices, in whose behalf
has been shed the blood CT most noble
army of martyrs. And here comes these
strangers, s'men from the woods" forest
Teri )sRs we men and women from the far
side Of the Alps are to this day viewed by
them, some of whom have by will and
deed shSwn true interest ia their pOliti-
cal revival, and yet, after having done all
this, seem not TO care one ieta for the
Italian OF to-day, as he stands there boldly
before them in all the pride of his young
manhood. conscious of a noble and long
ancestry. Is not this rather a puzzle?
The Italian notices it, of cOurse-What
does he not notice, with his quick. acute
perception ?-shrugs his shoulders and
gives up the attempt to solve the riddle.

Tomato plants.

Your correspondent from Waycross,
Ca, May 30, wishes to know why to-
mato plants wilt and dry up after they
have commenced fruiting. The cause is
a simple one, and it is just as likely to
kill them before fruiting as after. The
ground beneath them, some little distance
from the surface, is too wet, and when
first planted they grow vigorously, if
everything is favorable, until the roots
reach the saturated earth, and then they
begin to wilt and in few days die. If
he viii examine his sub-soil a solution of
his trouble VIII at once present itself.
Another cause may be sulphate of iron in
undue quantity in the sub-sOil, but this is
so seldom the case in our Southern eOun-
try that 1t is hardly worth while to men,
ton it. If, though, the sub-sOil should be
dry, then, if he Will treat his land to a
strong dressing Of caustic lime, the diff
Guilty will be overcome. In the latter
event the plants grow well until the roots
reach the sub-sOil and come in contact
with the sulphate of iron (green yitriol)
and then wilt and die. The sulphuric
acid Unites with the lime forming sui
plate of lime or gypsum, and leaving the
iron as an Oxyde.

THE PALACE OF FAME.
Under the Pole in the Austral Lands.
g5.o,,, ne E-reUeL Of CYB,,,,ts,,,y.;,

From the French of Chautsdu5riand.
Under the pole in the midst of the Aus
trail lands, which a barrier of ice has con-
cealed from the curiosity of men, at the
eXtremities of the world, the circumfer-
ence of which the brave Cook has explored
through winds and tempests, a mountain
arises which surpaSseS in height the sum-
mits Of the most elevated of the Andes in
the New World or of Thibet in ancient
Asia.
Upon that mountain a palace is built,
the work of powerful Intervals. This
palace has a thousand pOrticOs Of brass:
the least noises strike the dOmes of that
edifice, over the threshold Of which silence
has never stepped. At the centre of the
monument is a vault winding like a shell,
and built so that all the sounds which
enter the palace end there; but, by the
agency of the architect of faiseh0Ods, the
majority of these sounds are found to be
falsely reproduced; often a light noise in
entering swells and roars equal to the
lOudness Of the thunder while the roaring
of the expiring thunderbolt in passing
by the winding ways dissolve to feeble
noises.
1t is there that Fame, a demon, is seated
upon a Tesoundng throne, his ear placed
to the opening of that immense echo.
That powerful daughter of Satan and
Pride was born formerly to announce evil.
Before the day when Lucifer raised the
standard against the Almighty, Fame was
unknown. If world was animated or
eXtinguished; if the Eternal One had ex-
tracted a universe out of nothing or re-
plunged one of His works into chaos; if
lie had cast a sun into space, created a
new order of seraphims, tried the good
ness Of luminary, all these things were
Immediately known in heaven by an init
mate sentiment of admiration and love,
by the mysterious song of the celestial
Jerusalem. But after the rebellion of the
wicked angels, Fame usurped the place
of that divine intention. Soon, precipi-
lated to the Internal regions, it was she
who published in the abyss the birth of
our world, and who carried the enemy of
God TO attempt the fall of man. She came
upon the earth with death, and from that
moment she established her dwelling upon
that mountain where she hears and re-
peats, confessedly, that which passes on
earth, in the Internal regions and in the
heavens.

Advice to Peach Growers

?. NJ. Augur, State POmolOgist of Con-
necticut, at a recent convention concen-
trated his ADVICE 60 peach growers about
as follows:
Most causes of failure are preventable
and no fruit responds so kindly to good
treatment. But on the other hand, no
fruit is so easily ruined by bad or care
less management. TO begin Alright the
land should not be too rich. OVerrich soil
will induce enormous succulent growth,
full of crude sap up to the time of severe
freezing, and hard winter following Will
kill back the branches and brown the bark
as il a fire had run through the orchard.
Better have the land rather poor and bring
up 10 proper standard by the proper
amount Of well-rOtted manure or COM
mercial fertilizers. Growth can be stim-
ulated but cannot be held back. Fertilize,
therefore, so as TO meet tho demands of
each year according to the growth and
fruitage, the quantity being increased as
the tree grows older. Seeding trees have
no better chance for health and vigOr than
budded varieties, and a choice selection
brings double price. Plant few varieties
for market. A thousand baskets of one
good kind will sell more readily than a
hundred baskets of the best kinds mixed.
Clean culture until midsummer is essen
tial, but the ground should never be stirred
later in the season. Plant late varieties
on southern slopes. When cold nights
begin to chill the trees the ripening pro-
cess is slow and every ray OF available
sunshine is then needed during the day.
Andyet some varieties like SalWay ,SmOck
and Steady can be picked when yet quite
hard, and if kept in close boxes at mode
rate temperature they ripen well. Never
let a tree oYer-beaT, and take no crop from
the orchard after the trees begin to yield.
Head back the trees but wait until after
spring to do it-or at least until after the
leaves have done their work and fallen.
If cut in before that time, even in late
September, new shoots will often start, to
be killed in winter.
