Seeding Land.

Rural New Yorker.
There is agreat temptation, because
of the clOseness of times, to let some
of the grain fields go without seeding
but of all short-sighted suicidal poll
cies this is the worst. Nature abhors
a bare spot of ground as much as a
vacuum, and if the farmer neglects
to fill every foot of surface with some
valuable crop, she is sure to fill ii
with weeds. The pasture afforded
will pay many times over for the
seed sown, even if not needed for
pasture, and the ground be designed
for corn the succeeding year, the
manurial value of plant and roots will
much more than balance the cost OF
the seed. Foolish is the farmer who
yields to this temptation.

What is Needed.

American Agricularist.
Judging from pretty long eXper-
fence, l should say, to farm better, we
want: ......
"1st. A well drained farm.
"2d. Better tillage, mellower soil,
fewer weeds.
"3d. Good, well-fed and WELL
cared for teams.
"4th. Good implements and ma
chimes, especially those in constant
use. A poor fork, a rusty spade or
hoe cannot be used, even for a day,
without more loss of money than
would buy a new one. H'.'
"5th. Better stock, better feeding
and better manure. do not mean
by this that you should necessarily
buy pure-bred stock, but rather that
you should try to improve the stock
you have. "'
18th. Keeping ahead of your
work. Flowing more in the autumn
and sowing and planting earlier in
the springer the first moment the
soil can be got into good condition.

A New Use for Toads.

Scientific American.
The latest and most ingenious way
of getting rid Of reaches and water
bugs we have heard Of. is related of
a citizen Of Schenectady whose kitch-
en- was infested with them.
A servant, hearing that toads were
an antidote, caught three ordinary
hop toads and put them in the kitch-
en-. Not a roach or water bug, it is
stated, can now be found in the house,
The toads havebecome domesticated,
never wander about the house, and
are so clearly and inoffensive that
there is no objection to theirpresence.
Another use for toads is to employ
them for insect destroyers in the gar
den. They are determined enemies
of all kinds of snails and slugs, which
it is known can in a single night de-
stroy vast quantity of lettuce, car
rots, asparagus, etc. Toads are also
kept in vineyards, where theydevour
during the night millions of insects
that escape the pursuit of nocturnal
birds, and might commit incalcula.
bic havoc on the buds and young
shoots of the vine. In Paris tOads
are an article of merchandise. They
are kept in tubs, and sold at the rate
of , francs a dozen.

Seasonable Hint.

Fayetteville Observer.
Now that the season for canning
fruit is at hand, we have noted in some
of our Southern exchanges ADVERTISE
ments of a preparation for preserving
fruit. 1t is called an "antiseptic," but
it has various names. There is no
question to the fact that it prevents
fermentation, but all the same it is a
good thing to let alone. The active
principle in all these preparations is
salicylic acid, drug which is iDjur-
ious to health. The acid is prepared
of salicine, crystalizable, bitter sub
stance contained in the leaves and young
bark of the willow, poplar and other
trees. The salicylic acid is a product
Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1885-08-01

ofsalicine, carbolic acid and other sub,
stances, The French government
which pays particular attention to mat
tiers of this kind, has prohibited under
a heavy penalty the use of this acid in
any food preparations. We caution
our readers to let all of these drugs
alone and to can their food in the good
old way. 1t then is perfectly wholeN
some and delicious.

motto, "The Lord will provide" 1t

The Size Of NOaIl's Ark.
Exchange.

The exact size of Nosh's ark has moi
been determined definitely, but, accord
ing to Sir Isaac Newtons calculations,
based on his estimate of the length of q
cubit in feet and inches, the historical
barge must have been 1852 feet long,
1884 wide, and 1856 deep. The meas.
ured tonnage of the ark was 1s, 1872.
The Great Eastern was $50 feet long,
S3 feet wide and SO feet deep, and she
measured 2S,O9S tons. Although the

double the carrying capacity if her coal
and machinery were left out of her, be.
cause she was made Of iron and the ark
was a wooden ship.

The National Sphere.
lO,OO0,OOO Base Balls Produced Every
Year.-HOw They are Made.


The United States is rapidly turning into
an immense base ball factory. At least TO-
900, 900 base balls are made and sold in this
country every year. Perhaps very few per-
sons know the process by which these balls
are manufactured or the nature of the stuffs
used in constructing a standard ball. The
most expert workmen are employed. First
there is little hard rubber ball, and around
that the wrapper winds a strong blue
coarse yarn. When this reaches prescribed
size 1t is firmly wrapped with white Venetian
yarn. The balls are then placed in an oven
and baked until all the moisture is taken out
OF. them and they are reduced in size. This
makes them solid. After this they are coat
ed with cement. This causes the balls to re-
tain their shape, and they.cannot be knocked
crooked. Then comes some fine blue yarn,
and around the whole is placed fine white
gilling twine. The balls are weighed, for
each must be of certain weight, and are now
ready for the covers. These latter are made
of the best quality of horse hide. The cover
consists of two pieces, each cut in the shape
OF the figure 49," By bending one section
one way and the other in an opposite direct
ion a complete cover is obtained. That was
the discovery of a college boy. For years
the balls were covered with four pieces of
leather, but the genius of the college chap
has proved of great benefit to the manufac-
turers. At one time two covers were placed
upon ball. That is, the ball was half made
when it was covered, and then another ball
constructed over it. But even that did not
prevent its being knocked out of shape. They
cannot knock the ball as now made though,
because the cement holds it. A little ma
chine owned by Philadelphia firm is used
for winding the balls. 1t is the only one in
the world. 1t wraps two and one-half
ounces of the American Association ball in
minute, and the rest is finished by hand.
That apparatus is little wonder. 1t does
its work neatly as if it had brains, but is
capable, says its owners, of good deal of
Improvement.

After somewhat extended search we
have failed to find the "large number of
Republicans" whom "Republican''in yester-
days PRESS thought, were willing to see Tab
ulator Chase confirmed as collector of inter
nal revenue The substantially unanimous
sentiment of the Republicans of Portland is
that the confirmation of Capt. Chase would
be an outrage which would bring disgrace
upon Republican senators. There are many
Republicans TO be found who think some of
the Portland Democrats who drew out of
the count-out just in the nick of time are
quite as guilty as the Tabulater, but no Re-
publican have we discovered who doubts the
Tabulator's guilt or believes that he was
misled by anybody. We are entirely conf
dent that the PRESS and not Republican"
has correctly voiced the sentiments of Port
land Republicans concerning the Tabulator's
appointment.

1t appears that Mayor Deering had forth
fed himself before the merchants called
upon him to request the appointment of Mr..
r a. Cloyes as inspector oils, by promising
the place, in case Capt. Parker resigned, to
Capt. G. c. Chase. He fortified himself
still further by keeping away from the alder
men the petition of the merchants, notwith-
standing it was addressed to them. Had
the aldermen received it they would proba-
bly, have refused TO confirm Capt. Chase and
then the Mayor might have had chance to
comply with the request of the merchants.
That he evidently did not want. He had
personal spite against Mr.. Clcyes and he
was determined to crafty it and crafty it
