THE EARTH'S CRUST,
The Influence OF the SUN Upon the Solid
Part of the Earth.

The Influence Of the SUN Upon the Solid
Part of the Earth.
If we bury thermometer fifty feet
below the surface of the earth the mer-
curry will remain at the same point the
year round. in winter and in summer,
showing that the influence of the sun
does not reach below that depth. If we
carry the thermometer fifty feet lower,
the mercury will rise in the same ratio
for every fifty feet we 60 down. 1t can
be easily calculated at what depths all
known substances will melt. This
would not exceed fifty miles. It will
be thus seen that the crust-or solid
part-of the earth is exceedingly thin,
in proportion to the diameter; not 50
thick as an egg shell, in proportion to
the size of the egg. With crust 50
thin. constantly cooling. and producing
. pressure upon the internal masses, It
is not strange that the bed of the ocean
should be elevated in q single day. and
whole cities have been sunk in the same
space of tune. The side of . volcanic
mountain once broke away, and the
ivid masses flowed out, forming river
twelve miles wide, which. in its course,
melted down six hills six hundred feet
high, filling up valleys six hundred feet
deep, and spreading over q surface
eleven hundred square miles, School

Concerning Orchids.

1t is difficult to describe to one not a
botanist just what an orchid is. 1t is
monocotyledenous. belongs to the same
order grasses do, and is commonly
called an air plant. 1t is seldom sym.
metrical. is not pleasantly odorous, is
not pretty, does not look imposing or
attractive. and only has one qualifica.
ton that makes it valuable-it is rare.
And still there are over seven thousand
varieties that grow all over the world
except in the far north. Vermont has
forty-two species. The word orchid is
pronounced the same rs if it were
spelled Orkid. But the genuine orchid
collector never speaks of his pet by the
generic term. He tells you his Masde-
vaille tovarensis is the finest in the
world. or that his Grammatophylum
Ellisi superba has injured her left hind
leaf. Nhe is profane he swears by the
soul of his Odotoglossum citrosmum,
or falls on his knees in devout worship
of y new Aerides virens muius. But
when he succeeds in cross-breeding a
new species he makes holiday of the
occasion, celebrates the anniversary
every year. and names it after himself

HELPFUL HINTS.

Some OF the Precautions to he Adopted BY
Careful HOg-Raisers.
The care to be bestowed on swine
during the winter months should occupy
the attention of the swine breeders and
hog-raisers. Those who raise swine for
breeding purposes and handle only the
more expensive varieties, are generally
watchful enough to provide all the
cleanliness, comfort. and good food that
are SO essential to the well-being and
profitable growth of the hog. To such
men. the first signs of a forthcoming
winter are not necessary as warning
hints of needed preparation of winter
quarters. Many. however, of our hog
raisers will be the better of a reminder
that whatever preparation may be need
ed for the proper care Of the hog during
winter must be undertakes in late fall.
Particular care should be taken to af-
ford proper shelter from the cold rains
which will prevail more or less during
the late months Of the fall. 1t is not
best to cOnfine the animals at this sea-
son; on the contrary, as long as the
weather continues moderately mild,
they ought to run in pasture on dry
soil; later, they should be confined in
dry yards, with sheds around the north.
east and west sides, in which they Ian
find protection from rain, sleet and
wind. Too many animals should not
be allowed together in cool weather, as
they will often. in budding together for
warmth, smother some of the more
weakly by piliDg one on another.
OF course those destined to make fat
pork should be pushed little more
rapidly than those which are to be kept
for breeding. and they can be allowed .
greater proportion of corn or Indian
meal in their rations. Where hams and
bacon are the main object, less corn il
and . larger proportion Of
grass and clo1 bran or middlings,
and whey. II meal is given it should be
oats OF barley. Corn-stalks grown for
fodder, and cut when the stalks arc
sweet and tender, will be appreciated.
Roots make . valuable and healthful
winter feed but they must be fed to the
swine under cover, and about noon, 50
that freezing will be avoided. Frozen
food Of any kind should never be fed 4,
stock. Pumpkins will be very healthful
as well as palatable. The pens must be
put in order and made weather tight.
that if hogs are given an OPP
portunity they win keep clean. and such
should not be denied them.
II possible the pens should be 50 con-
that light and ventilation may
be affor6ed from the south for warmth.
