Brain Power.
Abundant Opportunity for It's Elk
ercise on the Farm.

About the best use a farmer can
make.of himself is, to devote the pres
ent long winter evenings to an increase
of his mental activity. Farms differ In
their productiveness, mainly according
TO the amount of intelligence that is
brought to their cultivation Brai n
power may be increased by a thorough
knowledge of the present condition df
the farm, and its worth as a machine
for making money. What crops have
paid. and what have been raised and
sold at loss What per cent has it
paid on the capital invested ? In the
case of the gain, what secured 1t Was
it the manure applied; or the frequent
tillage, or the extra amount of rainfall ?
In case of loss, was it the want of fer
tillzers, was the crop choked by weeds,
or was the seed poor, and the crop dam
aged by late planting ? This account
ing for failures is as profitableEas brag-
ging oyer big crops, without making
any record of the process of obtaining
them. Brain-power may be increased
by. planning improvements. There
may be several acres of peat-swamp or
bog medow, producing only brush and
bog hay, hardly worth cutting. There
is good outlet, and it can be drained
three feet or more deep. Cipher out
the cost of draining, and of making it
produce three tons of clover or timothy
to the acre. Would not the sight of
the wavering heads Of the grass be more
pleasing than the cat-tails. flags and
skunk cabbages, that now waste their
sweetness upon the desert air ? There
may be an ace of swale, underlaid with
hard-pan, oyer which ferns. weeds and
aquatic grasses run riot daring the
whole summer. Is it not time the bot
tom was knocked out of it. by tiles laid
three or four feet in the ground, and
the superfuous water compelled to 90
out through those instead of creeping
lazily oyer the surface ? 1t can be
made the best grass land on the farm.
Why not make it so, and handle the
dollars that come from maximum
crops ? Brain-power can be increased
by reading and dlgesting the instruc-
tive contents of agricultural papers.
They are full of facts, showing just
how to do it, and the process In made
so luminous with illustration, "that the
wayfaring man, though fool, cannot
err therein"

Chestnuts For Rheumatism,

Chestnuts-not of the story telling kind,
nor vet of The kind roasted and sold on street
corners-but horse chestnuts, such as Bishop
McNierney is carrying in his trousers pocket
for relief for rheumatism. Our Washington
dispatches reported on Saturday that the good
Bishop of Albany has been induced to carry
horse chestnuts by California, who told him
that the superstition is native of the Pacif-
ic coast The Californian is mistaken. 1t
was introduced upon the Pacific coast in 1851
by New Highlander, who was prominent
officer in the San Francisco Custom House.
He both practised and preached it, and every
year he sent TO the East, by way of Cape
Horn. for a package of horse chestnuts to
distribute among his converts.
1t has prevailed in many parts of New
England for hundred years certainly, and
probably longer, and there is no seaport be-
tween Portland and Boston where dozens of
old people cannot be found with horse chest
nuts IN their pockets, to which they attribute
their freedom from reumatic complaints.
Whence the superstition originally came we
do not know, but we are sure that New Eng
| land is the place from which it has been gen.
orally dffused throughout the United States.
An instance, however. has recently been
brought to our notice in which it was both be-
lieved and practised by an intelligent immi-
grant under circumstances which imply that
| he learned it first in Ireland. According to
our observation of the New England usage
the anti-rheumatic virtue is supposed to de.
part from horse chestnuts after a year. when
the old dried nuts should be replaced with
fresh ones.-N Y. Herald.

Honey in the Roof.

Two extraordinary takes of honey have jus,
been made in West Surrey. For the last six
teen or eighteen years colony of bees has
of the Hautboy and Fiddle public house a,
Ockham, near Ripley. The outer walls of
the building are about three feet in thickness,
and the bees made choice of their storehouse
at the very top of the building, which is three
stories high.
The landlord and the landlady, with their
daughters, resolved this year upon finding
ont the exact whereabouts of the colony. A
diligent search was made one morning under
the roof of the house, and piece of comb
was found Immediately below the states, but
in such position that it could not be reached.
Mr. Smith the landlord, then descended to
the bedroom, and with chisel and hammer
removed number of bricks from the wall
where the whole stock of bees was found.
More than two feet square of the wall had
to be removed, when a wonderful sight pre-
| sented itself. large mass of comb, about
two feet in thickness, filled with honey, was
exdosed. The bees were fumigated, after
which large pieces of honey were cut out
until dish after dish were filled with a tota
quantity of about one hundred and twenty
pounds. The bricks have not been put into
the wall again, but glass door has beer
inserted so thatany one interested in bee
culture may have an opportunity of seeing
them
Another and still more extraordinary take
of honey has been secured at Winters Hall
Bromley, the seat of Mr.. Geo. Barrett. Some
men were sent to take some bees. which haC
got between the ceiling of the coach house
and the granary. They succeeded in taking
three hunered pounds of honey. The bee.
had been engaged in their novel hiding place
several years. 1t was very interesting
| sight to see the way in which they hat
worked.-London Standard.
