den, the like of which | had never dream
ed of. 1t was surrounded by a high wall
and had plants in it from every country
under the sun. The white haired old gen
tleman and group of grandchildren
hanging about him took us about. and
the first thing we stopped at was large
oval plot, set out with small plants around
the edge.
This" said the Judge, lis my clock.
What time is it Clara" he asked of one
of the children. The girl ran around the
plot and said il was four o'clock, and So
IT was. The four o'clock was III bloom.
In fact said the story-teller, "the clock
was made up of flowers" In the center
was Palr of hands, of wood, covered
with some beautiful vine. but they had
nothing, however, to do with the time
telling.
The plan was this: The Judge had no.
ticed that almost every hour of the day
some plant bloomed, and working on this
principle he had selected plants of differ
ent hours and placed them in circle,
twenty four in number, one for every
hour. For example, at the top of the
earthen clock, at II o'clock was planted
the portulaca. and he told me it would
bloom within ten minutes of - and rare
ly miss. At the hours of /, > and 3 he had
different varieties of the same plant. all
of which bloomed At the hour opposite
to which 1t was planted. At O'Clock he
he had our common plant of that name
and you all know how you can depend on
that. At the garden niotago came out,
at the geranium triste, and at the
evening primrose. Opposite eight o'clock
he had the bonenoN and at nine the silent
noctltfora all these blooming at or near
the time given. At 10 O'Clock. if | re-
member rightly. he had cactus, at IL
another kind and at u night blooming

plants don't bloom at all. The plants op-

scorching- I pour off the water and
milk and cream from the mornings milk,
enough to make a good tureen full. Then
add lump of nice butter, a teaspoonful
of white sugar and salt and pepper to
taste. When 1t comes to boil stir in a
large spoonful of -four that has been wet
up with a little milk. Serve hot, and if
there are children they viii want no cake
or preserves, but will make meal of peas
and bread and butter and a glass of milk.
This recipe for currant jelly is from
the chef of German prince, and the
jelly is perfect: Perfectly ripe currants
freshly gathered are freed from the
stalks and gently pressed through a hair
sieve. To each pint of this juice allow
one pound of powdered sugar. Put the
sugar III brass or copper kettle upon
the fire, stirring constantly with spoon
en- until the sugar looks like fine sage.
Care must be taken that the sugar re-
mains white: on no account must it burn
brown. As soon as the sugar is like sage,
pour upon 1t the currant juice and set it
upon moderate fire until it reaches a
boiling point, when it must be instantly
removed and placed where it may remain
for half an hour perfectly quiet At the
end of this time there will be found froth
on top, which must be carefully removed
with the skinner. Fill the Jelly glasses
with this clarified jelly while it is hot,
and let it stand for ten days open. Then
close the glasses and keep in cool, dry
place. The proper quantity for this re-
ceipe is six pounds of sugar and three
quarts of juice. If more sugar is used at
one time 1t is difficult to manage. and If
less is used it is very apt to burn. Great
care must be exercised that the juice does
not pass the boiling point, for If it begins
to boil up and bubble syrup and not jelly
will be the result

Inert Matter in the Soil.
Philadelphia Record.

The soil may be rich and fertile, vet
incapable of supplying sufficiency of
plant food to crops unless certain chem
ical changes that render the inert sub
stances soluble and available. Such mat
ter is in a condition unfit for the pur-
poses desired, until it undergoes change
of form, which can only be done by bring
ing it in contact with agents that oper-
ate upon 1t SO as not only to disintegrate
it but to chemically change its compost
ton IN various ways. The most plentiful
material is silica, which is largely used by
plants, but which is very insoluble and
not easily rendered available as food.
The potash, lime, soda and other alkaline
minerals act upon it and assist in its re-
ductlon, and the roots of plants nc doubt
exert mechanical effect upon it. But
silica Is the material of which the bony
structure of plants Is principally compos-
ed, and must be appropriated in some
manner. As it exists in the soil, however
it must always be made TO undergo a
change before the plants can use it.
All soils contain more or less materials
that only require the heat, air and water
10 render them serviceable, and hence fire.
quent cultivation causes particles to be
changed by exposing the materials to the
action of such elements, for there are in
the soil phosphates, silicates, potash, lime
soda, magnesia, iron and vegetable and
mineral acids, which often react upon
each other when some foreign agent is in
troduced for that purpose. When we dis
place any of these substances from their
combinations we bring them into new
condition, as Is done when a stronger
acid dlsplaces one that is weaker, and as
the displaced substances always seeks a
new combination, the process does not
end until great many of the elements
that were inert and temporily useless are
completely changed and brought within
the range of plants.
There are mines of wealth in the soil,
but the wealth must be obtained with Ia
Dor, and it is for the farmer to remove
the obstacles that prevent him from OBJ
tanning it. Nature will render her assist
ance If conditions are made favorable
The pulverizing of the soil, is done thor
ouhly, allows the air, heat and moisture
to operate upon it, and every shovelful
of manure or pould of fertilizer applied
will act as assistants. The growing of
the crops and the constant restoration
of matter that has been removed allows
the process of disintegration to become
constant, and the soil is gradually en-
riched by the giving off of the former
particles of inert matter as plant-food
for, as it is appropriated annually by the
crop, every season witnesses a larger
portion of available material. Thus by
thorough cultivation the soil is changed
in chemical composition, and becomes
more fitted and adapted to the growth of
plants, while the application of manure
serves to prevent loss and exhaus-
ton.

Where the diamond comes from nobody
knows. You can no more predict the ex

lstence of genius, though, to be sure, all
diamond fields to a certain extent resemble
each other; and all, borrowing as they do
their light from the sun, are found only
IN warm climates. says writer in the

This mysterious crystalization places
between two bodies of the same nature a

great mystery either, for every year a

cOpic and at such an enormous expence
that they are absolutely useless, except to
gum on cards at the British Museum. In
France they say that solution of phos-
phorous sulphuret of carbon yields min
ute diamonds, but that these things are
better managed there than here has been
long allowed.

Muddy barnyards will cause the milk to

Fall Flowing
Pracuical Farmer.

While many recommend fall blowing
some condemn it, insisting that it is very
injurious, and both parties will endeavor
to prove that they are correct by giving
the results OF practical tests. The fact
Is, both are right and also wrong, for
while 1t is best to pillow some land in the
autumn there are soils that should not be
turned over until a short time before
planting time; hence the difference of
opinion.
1t Is a mistake to recommend the plOw-
ing of all soils in the fall, and it is also a
mistake to condemn blowing in this seas
on of the year. What we need to know
Is what soil is improved and what injured
by fall blowing. A soil that is cold, hard
and lumpS, containing considerable guam
titles of clay, is improved by fall blowing,
| because by turning the hard, close soil up
and exposing it to the frosts of winter, it
is pulverized 50 that when spring
comes it Is in a much better condition TO
plant than it would be if plowed but a
few days before planting time; for soil
of this character Is full of water in the
| spring, and when plowed it sticks togeth-
er so hard that it is in no condition to
mingle with the manure applied. But
when exposed to the air and frost all win
/ ter, it becomes dryer, and easily breaks
/ in small particles so as to readily mix
with the manure, and thus plant food is
rapidly produced. Land like this will
| sometimes produce nearly twice as much
! plowed in the fall as it will if not plowed
until spring, providing that which is
! plowed in the fall be puIverized, before
| planting with disk harrow.
A light and warm sandy soil is very
much injured by being plOwed in the
fall, because being composed of very
loose, fine material, every time the wind
blows, large quantities of it blows away,
and what is thus lost is the most valuable
| portion of it; such soil. if not plowed I'M
til spring just before planting time will
| contain a considerable amount of plant
food that would have blown away had it
been plOwed i'll the autumn, and the soil
being of character that will readily
| mingle with the manure applied, it will
produce even better crops by blowing but
a few days before planting.
Rough, rocky or bushy land may be
plOwcd i'll the fall to good advantage. be
cause the farmer is not so busy as in the
spring, thus giving him more time to re
move the rocks and roots that fill the
land. When the farmer belie-es his land
to be full of worms and grubs, by blowing
very late in the fall he will de something
toward killing them.
1t Is well, every autumn, to carefully
consider and decide what fields would be
improved and what injured by fall pillow
ing, and all that are of character not to
be injured by it should be plowed, thus
helping along the spring work at season
when work Is not as driving as in the
spring.

'Koumiss Is fast becoming the popular
drink with Brooklynites who have large
families of children" said a local drug
glst recently to reporter. "kOumiss is
made of COWS milk with the addition of a
little sugar. 1t is highly essential that
the milk should be fresh and pure. 1t is
said that kOumiss Is great cure for dys-
popsia. Certainly 1t gives relief in that
most painful disease. Within year n
number of companies have been formed
in Brooklyn for the sale of the beverage.
An excellent formula for the preparation
OF koumiss was furnished some year ago.
Here it is:
"'Flll quart champagne bottle up to
the neck with pure milk; add two table
spoons of white sugar after dissOlving the
same IN little water over hot fire: add
also quarter of n 2-cent cake of com
pressed yeast. Then tie the cork on the
bottle securely and shake the mixture well !;
place in room of the temperature of 80
to 30 degrees Fahrenheit for six hours.
and finally in the ice-box over night.
Drink i'll such quantities as the stomach
will require. 1t may be we'll to observe
several important injunctions in prepar-
ing koumlss, and they are; First, to be
sure that the milk is pure; second that
the bottle Is sound: third. that the Yeast
Is fresh; fourth, to open the mixture in
the morning with great care on account
of it's effcryescent properties; fifth, not
To drink II all if there Is any curdIe or
thickencd part resembling cheese, as
this always indicates that the fcrmenta-
ton has been prolonged beyond the pro
per time.
"The above formula, think Is the best
for preparing koumiss. Dyspeptics find
much relief i'll its use. | sell almost as
much on draught as soda water If pre-
pared i'll certain way koumiss will keep
for Il long time. 1t has delicious taste.
and is, think, the best of all the summer
beverages"
From what is the word koumiss de
rived"
THE word and the drink originated i'll
Asia, and is largely in use by the tribes
of that country. The Tartars make it of
mares milk, which ferments into liquor
which is very palatable. Koumiss, as
made IN this country, certainly gives
great relief in all stomach troubles, rs it
IL So easily ussimilated."
