SARATOGA, April 2l. 1885.

SARATOGA, April 81. 1885.
To the Editor OF the Eagle:
The rain that was spoken for some
time ago put in an appearance on the
10Th Sunday and was very welcome,
but the lightning which accompanied
the rain, played some queer pranks in
utter disregard of the rules laid down
by Lightning rod men Ia bc disregard
ed by all well regulated lightning in
this country under the present form
OF government. According TO rule,
li@htuing must strike high objects and
not condesccnd 20 notice the lowly.
but on SUNDAY. a little after = o'clock,
the lightning struck small outbuild-
ing in the south part of town, on the
lot of Squire Springer, said building
being in hollow about hundred
feet west of his house, the top Of the
building being about level with the
house floor. il being in fact the lowest
building and on the lowest ground in
town. The effect was that of Az ex-
plOsion, completely tripping the sid
ing of Of the four sides of the build
ing and sending it in every direction
to distance of from fifty TO over one
hundred feet, splintcring some of it
very fine, some splinters having been
driven through whole siding like a
bullet. The corner post at the south
east corner was made very fine. but
the remainder Of the frame, the roof,
floor. door, etc, remained intact and
uninjurcl.
The squire who was getting his
dinner in the house had just taken
hold of the handle of the frying-pan
that was upon the stove IA the flash
came, and experienced brisk shock
ike that produced by galvanic bat
terry. The action of the electric fluid"
was rather a curiosity, and large num-
bers have viewed the ruins.
Some people have predicted for
some time that lightning was going TO
strike Saratoga before long.

condition for a pear orchard is to keep
the land in sod and never pillow it, but
not allow the grass to grow within
two or three feet of the trunk of the
trees. Keep the circle mulched with
manure, leaves or stones. Manure the
land literally once in three or four
years Allow hogs to root in the or
chard and devour the defective fruit.
Seckel pears especially the larger, fair
er and higher colored when grown in
sod than in cultivated land.
Peas and oats are equal TO clover,
saws South and West, and may be
raised in variety OF soils. The pea
is rich in caseine, just what is required
to make milk, and the oat is also rich
in the clements of milk. These two
grow well together, for the oats hold
the peas up and prevent them from ly-
ing too fiat on the ground. The ma
ture so close together that they are
ready to cut at the same time. But
the crop should always be cut when
the pea pod is full and the grain in the
milk. 1t is then very succulent and
and palatable, and will produce as
much milk as any food we know of.
n WTlteT, dlluuing W uOS CIoicfo,
thinks that the disease NAV often be
traced to bad treatment on the part
of the farmer. The infamous plan of
leaving the hog for months in wet,
mud. sun and bad weather: now with
and then without food; sometimes
with shelter and then none; feeding
them whole corn in their own excre-
ments and urine, and generally sup
posing that nothing cen happen to
hogs, until they are sick and nearly
dead. is one that needs reform, and
that of radical character. Ii is much
more economical TO prevent disease
than to allow it to get in Il herd and
then try 10 cure IT.
President Baker, of the New Jersey
Horticultural society, used potatoes
of several varieties last spring to test
their quality, earliness, prod uctlve-
ness, etc. The seed potatoes in every
instance were from the same set, and
carefully measured. Samples of the
products were exhibited side by side
at the late meeting of the society, and
no one thought of recognizing them
as the same varieties. Not only were
they wholly different in color and
texture of skin, but there was nothing
like similarity of form between the
;ubers grown i'll the sand Of South
jersey aud the same varieties grown in
the heavier soils of the north.
