The best examples Of the eagre or
bore, the phenomenon in which the
tide moves all at once. are said to be
furnished by the mouths of the Rivers
Amazon, Hoogly and Tslentang. In
the case of the last mentioned river, in
China, the wave plunges ON like an ad-
vancing cataract, four or five miles in
breadth and thirty feet high, and thus
/, sses up the stream to a distance of
ahty miles at the rate OF twenty.fi five
es an hour. The change from ebb
flood tide is almost instantaneous.
No Amazon the whole tide passes
y am IN five or slx waves fol-
n other in rapid succession,
twelve to fifteen feet high.

SELECTING POTATO SEED. - The
time to select potato seed IS when dig
ging the crop. That like produces like
all admit, and it IS only reasonable to
infer that those hills which are the full
lest of desirable potatoes are the mes
to save. When the right hill is found
save every tuber that is large
enough for seed. This method gives
the best chance for not only keeping
up but improving the quality of the
crop. Breeding from the best is a
much more reasonable and promising
method than a random selection from
the pile at sorting time. The best hills
are discovered only at harvest time,
and then is the only time they a be
selected for seed.

Never be discouraged because good
things go on slowly here, and never fail
daily to do that good which lies next to
your band. Do not be in a hurry. but
be diligent. Enter into the sublime
view of 1t. God can afford to wait;
why cannot we, since we have him to
fall back upon. Let patience have her
perfect work. and bring forth her celes-
tial fruits.
Nothing is easier than fault-Gnding.
No talent, no self-denial, no genius, no
character are required to set up In the
grumbling business. But those who
are moved by a genuine desire to do
good have little time for murmuring OF
complaint.
The tinieSt bits of opinion sown in
the minds of children in private life

THE liquid manure from hogs is very
valuable and they should be supplied
with a large quantity Of dry dirt. This
affords a convenient mode of saving
both liquids and solids. and assists
in preventing disease. Where
a large number of hogs are kept togeth-
er fine dirt will do valuable service IN
keeping their beds clean if the pens are

4 PRETTY DRESSING TABLE.-A
deal table Is the foundation, which
must be covered with colored glazed
cambria. Over this is a cover of linen,
ornamented with designs in cross. stitch
worked with cTeWel or embroidery silk;
the spaces between the designs have the
threads drawn to form an insertion.
The border corresponds, and is edged
with a handsome fringe. The drapery
is arranged in plaits, with cross-stitch
design en- each. A pretty circular
cushion IS placed in front of the glass;
tins is of cambria, the color of the lin
ing of table cover, ornamented at the
top with an applique design, edged
with q flounce of lace, finished by a
ruche of satin ribbon. The bair-pin
cushion-a very necessary article of a
lady's toilet tablets a little basket
filled by a cushion covered with knit
ting and ornamented by a drape OF en-
b~roidered cloth. This same design for
q table a be carried out in cretonne.
1t looks exceedingly pretty at a trifing
cost. The cover can then be edged
with a box plated quilting instead of
fringe if desired.

OH THE WOODWORK. - OIL and
paint are such wonderful perservatIves
of wood that their use is said to cost
nothing. If wagon tires are loose it
will be better to tighten them with boil
ing oil than to take them to the black
smith. Clean the woodwork and apply
boiling hot oil to the ~felloes, spokes and
hubs until they refuse to absorb it. The
dry wood will expand the tire fit and all
be made solid, and it will be a long time
before those wheels will need another
dose. A coat of paint after the oil will
do no hurt. The some kind of treat
ment will do all kinds of machinery
good and will make farm tools last twice
as long.

THE best remedy for roup, which is
indicated by a discharge from the nos.

lard and crude petroleum, to which ten

CORN meal is the least profitable meal
to buy to make manure. A ton of

Its cost in the manurial elements left in
the excrement after 1t is eaten. These
elements are the nitrogen, potash and
phosphoric acid in the meal and other
elements not absorbed by the animal
but voided in the manure.

A GOOD INvFsTMENT.-If there Is
land ON the farm that needs under
draining no better investment can be
made than money put into tiles in good
drains. 1t may require some economic
ing to pay for them just now, but such
wonderful pay will be got back in time
as will make a man glad he had the
pluck to make this Improvement, even
though 1t may appear to be a hard job.
The leisure time now wasted on some
farms can well be employed in making
good underdrains.

THE age Of a COW has much to do
with her value as a mixer. A COW
with her first calf never milks as well
as with her third or fourth one. and for
a dairy animal, as a rule, is Improbable.
For this reason care should be taken in
buying cows for the dairy to obtain
those with their second or third calves,
not with their first one.

CHICKENS should neve be allowed

most unsightly from this cause.

at Is cents. This is, we think, a very

$40, 600, 900.

To PICKLE MUSHROOMS WHITE
Take the small button mushrooms, clean
and rub them with a flannel, then put
them in cold vinegar and allow them
to come to a boil very slowly; drain and
lay in a cloth until cold, then put them
Into fresh vinegar. If very small they
should not be allowed to boil, as it
might break them; it will therefore
be sufficient to warm them, and when
dried they may be again put into the
vinegar in which they were in before
after it has been cooled; a little mace
will improve the flavor, but no pepper
should be used.

SURPLUS FRUIT. If there is likely
to be a surplus of fruit a good lot OF it
should be prepared by canning and
evaporating for use at home. With an
assured home supply the grower may
find it possible to experiment in the
direction of making the markets
and dried fruit take a fancy TO each
other. Good apples and pears properly
dried make a useful article of food.

Mr.. Thomas Wardle. of Leek, En-
gland, has been to India and examined
the cultivation of the silk-worm and
the means still in use for Keeling the
silk there, with a view to suggesting
means for improving them. Although
the reputation for Indian silk has
greatly declined during the last twenty
five years, he is satisfied that its fibre is
quite equal to that of Italian six, and
that Improvement in methods is all that
is required. The Italian threads, are,
however, four times as long as those
of the Indian cecoons. The profitable
ness of the silk growing business is
shown by the fact that the zemindars
derive their very highest rents from
lands devoted to it.

MAKE GOOD BUrTER.-People who

rules = and butter dealers know the diff
ference at slght-brings the top prices
This kind of goods occupies a place in
the market by itself. Ordinary farm
butter made by the old style ways is
classed with bogus butter and sells for
a mixed grease price. The market calls
for a fresh-made, sweet-lavored butter,
and will have it. The way to produce
that sort is to build a creamery in a
convenient and suitable place in each
neighborhood where butter making Is a
considerable industry, equip 1T with the
best apparatus, and a butter maker who
understands his business, and have him
manufacture for all the neighborhood a
uniform and a high quality article, such
as an occasional prime farm butter
maker produces.
