Cork cuttings are now used in the
making of bricks, which are said to be
imperViOus TO heat or moisture. In view
OF the destructive character of the fresh
cts in American streams consequent upon
the destruction Of the forests, cork houses
ought, says the Current, to be regarded
with great favor by the Inhabitants Of the
riparian territory.
A new case of fraud with preserved food
has been disclosed by p. Charles in a
medical journal A sample of preserved
tomatoes when examined differed from "a
normal specimen by containing much
less dry extract, potassium bitartrate
and total pbosphOric acid. The in infer
enoe is that the sample in question con-
tanned but little tomato, and was chiefly
composed Of carrots and pumpkins the
whole being covered with some aniline
dye.
Ex-Commissioner lie Due gives, in the
HuSbandmGn. the formula for cheap paint
for outbuldings and fences, to be made of
sweet skim milk, mixed TO the thickness
OF cream with common cistern cement
(fresh and applied to wood and brick. It
Is of a yellOwish stone color, and any
pigment necessary to give It any desired
color csn be added without injury to the
paint. The lime Of the cement and the
easene Of the milk form an insoluble com
pound.
French laborers who walk barefooted
upon the asphalt pavements are subject
to swelling OF the limbs. This aIlment
has been attributed to the effect OF the
yapOrization by the heat OF the feet of
small quantity OF the petroleum or min
eral oil which is contained in the asphalt.
The nerves of the feet, which govern mus
cular action and the contraction of the
blood vessels. from an extensive and very
sensitive nervous network under the arch
of the feet, where the skin is always very
thin, ana the nerves are consequently
easily affected.
Under the Rlow but continuous action Of
the sulphurous acid thrown in the air Of
cities by the combustion Of coal and the
influence of the frequent changes in the
degree OF atmospheric humidity, NJ. G..
Witt finds that the peroxide OF red lead
used in coloring certain placards is de-
stroyed and stipulated. AT the same time
the protoxide OF lead thus liberated is
transformed into an insOlube sulphite.
This salt being easily analyzed a new and
certain means is thus obtained for de-
termining the condition of the atmosphere
IN large cities.

BITS OF SCIENCE.

Cyclones usually occur about O'Clock
in the afternoon.
It Is stated that the proportion OF ozone
in the atmosphere Of Paris last year was
ia inverse ratio 70 the mortality from
cholera.
The glass insulators so commonly used
10 hold lightning rods In place are quite
useless and AN unnecessary expense, but
are not source Of danger. A PLAN iron
or wooden support for the rod Is equally
effective.
A mouthpiece for pipes has been pat
ented. This invention provides Tor a re-
movable mOuthplece, covering an inner
one in such way that when one inhales the
smoke a current OF fresh air Will also be
drawn IN from the outside, thus cooling
the stem Of the pipe.

OF idle but fertile land, awaiting the magic
touch of agricultural industry, should
never suffer for want Of any article Of
necessity, which its soil will readily pro-
duce if cultivated to that end much less
should the intelligence of it's people per-
NIT scarcity ofany indispensable product
OF the soil to exist by sheer neglect OF its
culture.
Inc axiom OF national economy holds
true, not only In the nations agricultural
pursuits and commerce, but likewise in
the perpetual supply of industry's gigan.
tic demands for certain quantities and
qualities of useful timber. Where natures
spontaneous supply is missing or ex-
hausted, the energy of man must plant.
where soil and climate will permit,
though seed time may be allotted to one
generation and the harvest to posterity
The comparative rapidly with which
trees grow on this continent insures, how
ever, returns for labor and treasure in
vested in timber culture within the ordi-
nary lifetime of the planter; the parsl-
monious fear of life's shortness and Tn
certainty should therefore be discarded.
When glanoing over trees planted TWEEN
ty-tve or thirty years ago we realize what
wonders enterprise in planting will per-
form in that short space of time.

The National Farmer says the species
OF vegetables we now cultivate have been
produced and eaten tor centuries Even
before the Christian era many of them
were in use, Lettuce has been sed at the
table for thousands OF years. HerodOtus
tells us that 1t was served at the royal ia
bles centuries before the Christian era.
and one OF the most noble families OF
Rome derived Its name from the plant.
Spinach, asparagus and celery have been
cultivated among the Eastern nations for
thousands of years. Jesus took the mus
tard seed as an exponent OF q para Die
showing that it was esteemed among the
Jews. Radishes were known and grown
by the Greeks, and were offered at Apollo's
SHRINE, wrought in precious metals.
Parsnips We're raised and brought from
the Rhine to add to the luxury of Tibe-
rus table. Beets were esteemed centu-
rles ago, and carrots were in such repute
IN Queen Elizabeth's reign that the ladies
OF her court adorned their huge structures
OF false hair with their feathery plumes
Peas, at ElIZabeth's court, were very
rare, and were imported from Holland ae
a great delicacy. Fruits were in great
repute among the ancieuts The curranl
was cultivated centuries ago IN European
gardens and was called the Corinthan
grape. Evelyn, in his charming diary,
speaks OF it's berrIeg as COrinths, hence
the name of currants. The DamsOn plum
was extensively cultivated at Damascus,
whence its name. The cherry came from
Cerasus, city Of POntus, and the delicious
peach, king of fruits, was first known in
Persia. The ounce was a holy fruit
dedicated to the goddess of love, and was
called Cydonian apple.

Saving Feathers.

A book entitled ''Poultry as a Meat
Supply" has chapter on saving or pre-
serving feathers, which tells us that as
soon as a fowl is killed, and while yet
warm, let it be carefully plucked. Sepa-
rate the large wing-leathers; put the
others into small paper bags previously
prepared. Put these bags into an oven
and let them remain about half an hour;
take them out, repeat the process two or
three times, then keep the feathers in a
dry place TIL required. The oven must
not be too hot. Care must be taken TO
free the feathers of any skin or flesh that
may adhere to them while being plucked
or they will be tainted. The bard gully
portion OF the larger feathers must be cut
off With pair of scissors. The wing and
tail feathers may be stripped and added TO
The others. Previous to putting them ia
the oven, some recommend that the
feathers should be put loosely into dry
tub or basket and shaken up daily. 40
that all may in turn be exposed to the
air. Others recommend, as an easier
plan, merely TO suspend the bag from the
ceiling of a warm kitchen, or on the wall
behind fireplace, where tits practicable.
In this case they will take longer to dry.
Feathers can be quickly and efectually
dried and cleaned by the agency Of steam /;
but il is rather an expensive method aud
the thrifty henwite will doubtless prefer
having the produce of her own yard pre-
pared under her own eye and by her own
directions.

deficient in lime, make the surface white
with IL during the course Of preparation.
New or virgin soil will show the effects
ot the lime wonderfully in the first crop,
md in such a soil the plants will stay
,.rean and crow much longer than upon
old soil long under cultivation. Make
ANAL fiat beds for all seeds to be planted,
leaving between the rows, not deep
trenches. but fat middles low enough to
conduct away gently the surplus water TO
the walks,all of which must be SO laid of as
to receive this water and convey it on
gently to the outlet provided at the low
est point of the location. This is an eX-
ceedingly important thing to do, as you
win find out after the first flooding rain
that falls upon your work.
The seed beds must remain intact after
the rain, or the work will be to do over
and more seeds to be purchased; neither
must they be turned into boys to rot the
seeds before they can spring up.
For this reason the middles must be
sufficiently wide and deep to receive and
convey the water, while all the rows
should slightly incline diagonally with
the slope.
As rule. the larger the seeds the deep
er they may be planted-lettuce half an
inch under the soil, ana beans or English
peas SIX to eight inches; but whatever is
planted plant in moist soil, cover well,
and firm, or press down the soil above
them to insure prompt generation. Al
this season, and until November, south
ward from the meridian Of Savannah,
mrnips, rutabagas, radishes, beets, car
rOts, celery, cOllards, cabbages, lettuce,
spinach, kale, Brussels sprouts, cole
flower, onions, leeks, and few other vege.
fables may still be planted with tolerable
success for spring and winter use.
There is really no time that we may not
commence a garden In this climate, and
profit by good list of vegetables. and he
who is without should begin one with the
first opportunity.

The Profits that can be Realized by
an Experienced Apiarest.
In these times of seeking for new
sources Of profit on the farm, as that of
grain growing wanes, bees come in for
their share Of attention. Prof. Cook re-
lates how bee keeping may be probably
associated with general farming: 1--WE
often hear that only specialists should
Keep bees, that bee keeping is
70 business for a farmer or a man with
any business" The professor relates the
experience Of his brother, e. j. Cook, Of
owosso, who is one Of the best farmers in
tle state, and whose crops are always
among tho best in the country where he
lives. "a few years ago he purchased
Re" colonies Of bees more to interest his
Doys thanlwith the expectation Of making
money. He winters them in good Gel
lar and has never lost any. In 1888 his
colonies reached 30, and last year go. In
l>>9 his profits from his bees exceeded by
considerable sum those from his farm
Last year the excess was even greater
AlIaer OF his boys, one 16. the other IA, is
