THE TREATMENT 70 SOD IN THE FALL
American Agriculturist.

American Agriculturisl.
In the ordinary rotation OF the
farm, sod land is usually ploweo
for corn. Opinions differ in regard
to the advantage, or otherwise, oil
the fall blowing of sed. The truth
of the matter is, that like all other
farm work, this depends very much
upon circumstances. One OF these
is the manner, in which the plow'
ing is done. If the dry, bare sou
is pIowed under roughly, and SO
left until spring, when it is cross
plowed, and the sod cut up INTO
pieces, and turned this way and
that, and for the greater part re-
versed. the work had certainly
been better left undone. his
way of treating sod, too common,
we are sorry to say, is most mis-
cbievous one, and leaves theland IN
a wretched plight for corn plant
ing. The better way is to spread
what manure is ready for the land
and leave it until November, and
then turn the whole under with an
even and regular lap furrow. II
this is well done it leaves the SOIL
in the very best condition Tor
spring work. The furrow slices he
with the manure between them'
while the manure is not buried I'M
der the sod, but both standing, IN
part, on edge, allow the air TO
permeate through the crevlces ana
cause thorough decomposition.
The crests of the ridges break
down by the action of frosts, ana
the land is gradually consolidated
by settlement, through the winter
When the harrow is passed over
the land in the spring, the fine ma
nure, and the soil, and the decayed
sod are thoroughly mixed on the
surface, leaving a mass OF plant
food below, as deep as the land
had been plOwed. The roots OF
the young corn plants find food
wherever they penetrate the soil,
and an abundance of 1t within
reach to carry them to the end OF
the growing season. In the culture
of every crop, very much depends
upon the preparation Of the SOIL
but this is most especially true as
regards corn, which occupies the
ground for only about three
months. How necessary then II Is
to provide a store of food for TINS
crop, of the right kind, in the
right place, and in sufficient guam
tity to supply its urgent necessities
One of the most effective ways OF
making this requisite provision is
TO make the most of the sod by
treating it at this season in the
manner here described.

The Medical Use Of Eggs.

For burns and scalds there Is
nothing more soothing than the
white of an egg, which may be
poured over the wound. II IS
softer as a varnish for a burn than
collodion, and being always on
hand. can be applied Immediately.
Il is also more cooling than the
:. sweet oil and cotton" which was
formerly supposed to be the surest
application to allay the smartlng
pain. It's the contact with the
air which gives the extreme dis
comfort experienced from ordinary
accidents of this kind; and any
thing which excludes air and pre-
vents Inflammation is the best
thing to be applied. The egg Is
also considered one of the very
best remedies for disentery. Beaten
up lightly, with or without sugar
and swallowed at gulp, it tends
by its emollient qualities to lesser
the Inflammation Of the stomach
and intestines and by forming a
transient coating for these organs
to enable nature to assume bel
healthful sway over the diseased
body. Two, or, at the most, three
eggs per day would be all tina
would be required in ordinary
cases; and since the egg Is no
merely a medicine, but food as
well, the lighter the diet otherwise
and the quieter the PATIENTS kept
the more certain and rapid is thei

So many sheep are injured by
washing in cold water with the
weight of a heavy fleece drying
ont on their skin, that the best
farmers are doubling whether
washing sheep pays. One practical
farmer says that in his experience
two or three per cent. OF his flock
are killed by this exposure, not
counting the injury to others which
did not result in death. The dlf'
ference in the price of washed
and unwashed wool is not great
enough to pay for such losses az
these.

Marketing of early fruit should
receive proper attention in neatness
of packages, and in asserting the
fruit. DO not send wind-falls and
misshapen apples to market; it
paws better to make them into
vinegar, small cider mill and
press may be used. A large quaint
ity of cider for conversion into
vinegar may be secured.

The managers Of Girard college,
Philadelphia, have solved . difficult
problem, which was presented to them
several years ago. and was more puz-
cling to them than any problem in
mathematics to the student. It Wa
what to do with the boys after they had
been educated in order to conform to
the terms of the bequest of a, 00O, 900
for this educational institution. The
charge was that the boys, after the COM
pletion Of their education, were to be
bound out ''as apprentices to useful
trades and occupations" They put
their experienced heads together, and
resolved to attach manual training
department TO the college, and teach
the boys handicraft and trades under
the college: supervision. This was or
ganized some years ago, and it has
proved . success. The manual train
ing school turned out boys. mechanics
and artisans, who could earn five or six
dollars . week ct once, and thus sup
port themselves. Now new building
has bsen erected and opened, which
will accommodate Ave hundred boys at
. time and supply them with the latest

In lecture delivered at Boston, last

Boseouians with the statement that Alas

United States east Of the Mississippi
river. and Is, withal, . very valuable
territory, capable Of contributing large
~ to tho national wealth when its re-
sources shall be developed. Its chief
river, tho Yukon, down which Schwstka
lourneyed on . raft, is about 5000
1niles long, being but little inferior to
tho Mississippi itself. The country il

attributes to the myriads Of gnats and
flies, which make it impossible for an

went down the Yukon to its mouth in
Behring's sea, and sailed thence around
the Aleutian islands. He repeats tho
statement about. the temperate climate
OF these islands. The mercury, he says,
never falls below zero, and the summers
are never a. hot as in the central states
Of the Union.
