THE PUBLIC DOMAIN. There are
some facrs about the "public domains
not generally understood. but very inter
esting. 1t IS not generally understood.
Cor Instsncs. that It has cost more than
has bees realized from it. Yet such is
the fact The public domain contains,
IN round numbers. l 900 OO0, 600 acres,
and has cost 1852 OOOO. 600. or about 10
cents an acre. There has been disposed
OF in various vavs Gas. 600 Ooe acres for
q total of S237. 600. 900. So that the
cost has been over 100000. 600 more
than receipts for Iaud sold thus far. l.
Is also a common assertion that the bulk
OF the public lands has been disposed Of.
The fact is that but GAG, 600 900 acres
out % the whole have been disposed of,
though IN this operation the best lands
have seen selected, but little purely ag-
ricrturai land remaining in the hands
of -as Government. Over 400, 90, 5000
acre- of that remaining in the hands Of
OF the Government is counted desert

of it will be cultivated hence.

As soon as the puppies get a little big

men build good j07oOS but have never
seen a white man who was a good dog,

MAKING BEDS.

Let every bed maker, as the covers
are spread, turn down the upper sheet
and all above it, leaving a generous mar
gin below the bolster. Some people,
you know, always pull all the covers
straight up TO the top and lay the boil
ster upon them, so that when bedtime
comes they have to be arranged at the
head. Boys don't like this way and
perhaps some other folks don't either.
It is the custom to pile two big, square
pillows on top of the bolster. and then
put On two pillow shams. and then some
times, or perhaps before the pillow
shams. sheet sham. This is setting a
trap for The unwary. Only a remarka-

OF getting off all the "finery" properly.

MAKING PUTTY.-The process Of ma
king putty is very simple one. The
principal ingredients are whiting and
raw linseed OIL Marble dust is mixed
with the whiting. and as it is much
cheaper it reduces the cost of the putty.
Parsffine oils are used 10 a great extent
instead of linseed, and as the former is
the cheaper and inferior of the two, the
result is to make an inferior article. To
knead it is put in a chaser-an annular
shaped box with vertical shaft rising
from its centre. From this shaft two
arms extend, on the ends of which a:e
heavy iron wheels which rest in the box,
When the shaft revolves these wheels
chase each other around in the trough.
The wholesale price of putty is about
two cents per pound.

GROWING POTATOES FOR MONEY
A writer in the Country Gentleman
says Having had some years practice
in growing potatoes for market. plant
ing some years as high as twenty acres.
and seldom less than ten, I think / have
learned something In regard to good
crops, free from scale aud lrub-eaten
tubers, and also from small ones.
Ny mode is this Plow the land ia the
spring about six inches deep, cover with
green stable manure, or baInyard ma
nure, and then harrow until mellow
Mark with a plow three feet apart,
then cross with a marker the same dis
tance. Cut medium sized potatoes
lengthwise, put one piece in hin, and
cover quite deep. When they show two
or three leaves, go between the rows
with a shovel plow, and, if some are
covered with the dirt they will come
out all right. a few days after this
cross the piece again with the shovel
plow. This is repeated at intervals un-
til the potatoes blossom, when all work
should be stopped, and they should be
left to take care of themselves until
ready to dig.
The reason I have for using unrot.ed
manure and applying It on the top, is TO
keep It out of the hills until thoroughly
mixed with the soil. This will prevent
the grub from working at them. and
prevent scab. ! do not use much, if
any phospate, and consider a hundred
barrels an acre a paying crop; [ have
exceeded this on some particular acres,
bnt could never come quite up to it, TAX
ing the crop and the different varieties
of potatoes together. have had them
fit TO GO to New York market with very
little sorting, as to the smaller ones.

HE WENT ARoUND.-Field Mar
shall Won Moltke, returning recently
from Ragatz, in Switzerland, where he
had been spending a few weeks in re-
tirement, was presented by tho inhab-
itants with large boquet, ii being well
known that the old soldier is a great
lover of flowers. He propose to return
home by way of Vorarlberg. which
would necessitate his crossing the Aus
trian frontier. Here, however, his bo-
get was refused passage, it not being
permitted to take flowers across the
frontier for fear of the phylloxera. The
Marshal, rather than part from his dow
ers, changed his route. and proceeded
home through German Switzerland.

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

An iron car wheel will travel about
40. 900. A steel tire will run 2OO,OOO
miles. costing two and half times as
much, and running more than four
times as long as an iron wheel.
All Paris is looking forward to the
appearance of an Improved" balloon
which will be able to bold its own
against violent current of air. The
balloon is furnished with pair of large
wings worked by an electric motor.
A new alimentary substance. the
seeds of the Bolivian cotton tree, has
attracted the attention of the Academic
des sciences. 1t is rich n nitrogenized
substances, and contains twenty-three
per cent. of fibrine and six of casein.-
NJ. Sacc thought that -four from the
seed would be very suitable for pastry
and sweets. 1t is likely to be used IN
sugar making as a substitute for carbon
ic acid.
Still another wonderful use has been
found for electricity. Recently elee-
trodes connected with dynamo of the
power of forty ordinary Daniel cells
were put into forty. five gallons of fresh
milk. and in exactly four and one-half
minutes the fluid was, as dairymen say,
churned. the butter rising upon the sur
face. The quantity obtained was fully
equal to that procured in the ordinary
way. and the quality perfect.

which. it is claimed, will do eighty per
cent. more work than any machine now
in the market. An experiment with
steam power moved it with a speed OF
220O stitches in a minute, and was
started and stopped instantly. 1t is
simple in construction, is easily oper-
ated. and sews al! kinds of fabrics. from
leather TO fine linen.
The largest deposits OF salt on the Pa
cifc coast are found in Nevada, accord
ing to the Scientific American. The
most remarkable Of these deposits is that
on the Rio Virgen, few miles north
of the Colorado river. in the extreme
southern corner of that State. A for
rock salt, resting on, and to some ex-
tent intermixed with, a sedimentary
granite. and of such magnitude that it
may be said to constitute notable por-
tion of the mountain itself.
The hand carving of wood for house
finish and interior decoration is becom-
ing distinct and permanent branch OF
industry. For fine furniture the carv-
ing of wood has for lorg time had
place. but there appears to be a pros
pect that to the joineI's shop and work
will be added those of the carver as a
means of finishing interiors. Foreign
workmen at present comprise the larger
part OF the workers in this industry, but
the attention of native workers has been
directed to it, with the result OF bring
ing it into general notice.

KICKING AND BALKY HORSES.

The management of balky and kick
ing horses, says the Indiana Farmer, is
very poorly understood by many ot our
horse owners. 1 will give few plans
for managing this noble animal without
so much brute force. The way to man.
age a kicking horse is to take short
piece Of rope long enough to go around
the upper jaw. which must be tied so as
not to slip. The knot must be placed
IN the center of the mouth then take
a rope twenty feet long, half an inch IN
diameter, double it, and pass one end
through the loop atound the upper jaw
pass both ends up between the ears
through ring that is tied TO the top of
the bride then pass each end through
the terrets of tie back band on the har-
ness then through ring that must be
tied to the crupper-strap divide the rope
and tie each end to the shafts. BY this
arrangement a horse cannot kick unless
he jerks his head up at every attempt
he makes to kick, which will punish
him so severely that he will soon give
up the bad habit.
This rig works on horse that will
kick to a road wagon. By boiling
stout piece on the doable tree, so it will
extend out as far as the end Of the sin
gle tree, and bolt one end of a two-inch
square piece to it. and tie the other end
to the hame then tie one end OF the
ropa to the twO-inch piecs. and the
other end to the tongue, and let them
kick if they can.
Balky drivers are ant 70 make halkv
horses. It is apt to be the case when a
horse shows signs Of baking the driver
commences to whip and gets the horse
excited so he won't stretch a trace.
Now the best plan. when she driver
sees that horse is going to balk. is inst
to pull on the lines and stop them and
let them stand few minutes. And il
the other horse is a true pulIer speak to
him and let him start the load. and hv
loading lightly aid working gently with
the balkv horse you can soor have a good
puIler Of him. OF course there are
some horses that have been spoiled bv
. overlooking aud bad drivers. that noih-
ing but force will make them p.ll.
