LATE EXPERIMENTS.

Experience With Grasses at the Kansas
State Agricultural College.
Prof E. M. Shelton, of the Kansas
State Agricultural College, reports that
his experience with orchard grass indl-
Gates that larger yields of pasture and
hay are obtained from a given area of
ground when it is allowed to have its
own way, unchecked by crowd.ng; and
that it is mistaken practice to SOW very
thickly in order to counteract the ten
dency to grow in tussocks. About a
bushel and half of seed are therefore
enough for an acre. He has obtained
excellent results by adding to this
quantity of seed three quarts of red
clover seed, both growing we'll togeth-
er. He finds no amount of tramping
or close grazing at any season to injure
a well-rooted orchard grass sod. 1t is
one of the earliest grasses to start in
the spring and the latest to succumb to
frost in autumn. He remarks that la,
cerne should not be pastured or mown
during the first season. as it makes a
feeble growth at first, but it is a good
practice to run the mower occasionally
over the surface high enough to miss
the lucerne and cut off the tops of the
weeds; after this it will take care of
itself and of all the weeds within
it's reach. Prof. S. thinks
it the most valuable for Kansas Irriga-
ton makes it invaluable. Very close
grazing late in autumn is aptto be fatal
to it. In answer to the inquiry as to the
relative merits of red clover and lucerne,
he remarks that while clover yields hard
]y more than one-half the hay or pas
turage afforded by lucerne, yet in point
of quality lucerne is greatly inferior. The
stalks are nearly solid and quite woody,
and there is much waste in feeding the
hay. Speaking of the Texas bluegrass
(Poa arachnitera) Prof. Shelton re-
marks that it is of much coarser habit
than the common bluegrass, that it will
withstand the climate of Kansas, but he
does not know "that it can be propa-
gated from seed at all We have plants
of this grass, raised from seed, of two
years growth; the upper leaves were
rendered brown by the last severe win
ter. 1t forms dense sod, but has
shown no tendency to throw up seed
stalks. Our winters at the North are
probably rather severe for its best sue
cess" Prof S. strongly recommends
sowing grass seed alone, after gener-
Gus preparation of the soil; holding that
when sown with grain the grass oper-
ates as weed on the grain, and the
grain is weed to the grass, and that
after the young grass has been retarded
and dwarfed by the grain, it suffers
mole from midsummer heat when the
grain is cut, than with a strong early
growth, with no other plants to rob tbs
soil of moisture, Ohio Farmer,

FRENCH MONK LIFE.
Reminiscence of a Visit to the Monastery
of La Grande Chartreuse.

Temple Bari
Accustomed as the Monastery of the
Grande Chatreuse is to receive the visits
of strangers, there are some times as many
as two hundred in single evening during
the summer. I had no need to say upon
what errand l had come, and I was at
once conducted by the "frere-portier"-to
give him his proper title-to the reception
room, where another lay brother took me
in charge and told me that was welcome
to the monastery, but that the dura tion Of
the visit was always limited to forty
eight hours. AS was not intending to
rema in more than one night, this regula-
ton did not in any way effect me, and the
long drive had given me such an appetite,
that l was not sorry to hear that supper
was about to be served. The little lug
gage which had brought with me had
already been taken to the cell which was
assigned to me, though "cell" is in truth
rather a misleading name to give to
what is in reality very passable bed
room. There was no carpet on the floor, it
is true; but when one has travelled much,
OUe leuTNS u TcSdTu Carpets dS AuAuiA eS
which can easily be dispensed with, and
in other respects tho rooms provided for
visitors contain every accommodation
which one requires. Looking round it as
washed my hands before going down to
supper, I found that it contained a good
bedstead, large table and an ample cup
hoard, inside which the lay brother who
escorted me showed me some plates con.
tanning biscuits, apples and raisins, to-
gether with bottles of yellow and green
Oh artreuse, which, he added, "are at your
disposal, should you feel faint during the
night" One thing the bed room did not
contain, this being a looking glass; and
found that none of them are to be seen in
the monastery, because they are supposed
to minister toward vanity. But a looking
glass, like carpet, is not indispensable
to comfort, especially when one has
reached an age at which regard for out
ward appearances should be waning, and
went down to supper with the feeling
that my lines were cast In pleasant
places.

FARMER KERN's EEL
A Venerable Fish That Does Good Service
as Barometer.

as Barometer.
[American Angler.l
In the summer of 1868 Peter Kern, Of
Washington township, Pa, caught small
eel on set line and put it into well in
his yard. The eel is still in the well, and
is four feet long and eight inches in
diameter around the middle. It has gained
wide reputation as weather prophet,
as It is an infallible foretel1er of rain.
From the time the eel was put into the
well until the present time it has kept
itself concealed among the stones on the
bottom, except at irregular intervals,
when it would appear OH the surface Of
the water, where it would swim for hours
and then disappear again. 1t was finally
noticed that these appearances of the eel
were invariably followed by rain within a
day or two. For over fifteen years this
living barometer has proved infallible and
the representations of Farmer Kern's eel
are accepted by the farmers who live near
enough to have the advantage of them as
an unvarying rule by which to lay out
their work. No one ever passes Kern's
place without inquiries whether the eel
has been seen lately, and instead of the
question one hears every where else: "Do
you think we'll have rainW the regular
daily inquiry in the Kerns' neighborhood
is: "What does the eel say?"
During haying and harvest and other
critical periods of farm work the farmers
for miles around send every day to Kern's
for intelligence of the eel. In times of
drought the weather prophet is also the
constant object Of anxious inquiry. The
eel not only gives warning of approach
ing rain, but its appearance in the we'll
any day during a storm is sure indica-
ton that the storm will last day longer.
The longest time the eel was ever con.
cealed was during the memorable drought
of 1876. The eel appeared ON July 9. 1t
rained on the 10th and 18th. From then
until October 16 the eel was not seen, and
in all that time there was no rain, with
the exception Of few light thunder show
ers. The eel never appeared to foretell
thunder showers. The sight Of Kern's
weather prophet in the well any time dur
ing that summer would have been cause
for general thanksgiving, but when he
did put in an appearance it was too late
to do that years crops any good. The eel
came to the surface on October 16, and
was in sight all day and part of the 18th.
On the 18th the great rain-storm that
lasted nearly week and did as much
damage by flood as the dry weather had
by drought, came on. A popularity Of
this eel is that it will have no other kind
fish in the well. Trout, catfish and other
fish have been put in the we'll, but the eel
kills them.

Artificial Leather.

Some of the new artificial leather
made in Germany is being applied sue
cesstully to industrial fabrications. The
substance is prepared by mixing with
five to ten per cent of sinews and
pressed into sheets like ordinary leather
cardboard. The materials are made
separately. Pieces of leather are
washed, cut, boiled in alkaline I've, torn,
neutralized with hydrochloric acid, and
finally carefully washed once more to
remove all traces of acid To this are
added sinews, which are treated SINH
larly, but steamed in an acid bath until
they are like glue. After beng thus
prepared, the materials are mixed,
pressed into sheets, moistened ON both
sides with concentrated solution OF
alum, and the upper surface is at last
given thin coat of caoutchouc in So
luton with carbonie bisulphids. --Bss-

STRANGE FACTS.
Things That May Seem Incredible to gu.
perticial Observers.

Things That May Seem Incredible to gu.
perticial Observers.
Gold-beaters, by hammering, can re.
duce gold leaves so thin that two hun
dred and eighty-two thousand must be
laid upon each other to produce the
thickness of an in inch, yet each leaf is
80 perfect and free from holes that one
of them, laid on any surface, as in gild-
ing, gives the appearance of solid gold.
They are so thin that if formed into a
book, twelve thousand would only oc-
cupy the space of a sing lie leaf of COM
mon paper; and an octave volume of an
inch thick would have as many pages as
the books of well-stocked library OF
one thousand five hundred volumes,
with four hundred pages in each. Still
thinner than this is the coating of gold
upon the silver wire of what is called
gold lace. Platinum and silver can be
drawn in wire much finer than human
hair. A grain of blue vitriol or car
mine will tinge a gallon of water so
that in every drop the color may be
perceived. A grain of musk will
scent room for twenty years, and
will IN that period have lost little of
its weight. A burning taper uncovered
for single instant, during which it
does not lose one thousandth part of
grain, would fill with light sphere
four miles in diameter, so as to be visl-
BILE in every part of it. The thread of
the silk-worm is Sc small that many of
them are twisted together to form our
finest sewing thread; but that of the
spider is finer still, for two drachms of
it by weight would reach four hundred
miles. In water in which vegetables
have been infused, the microscope dis
covers anmalculs of which many thou
sands together do not equal a grain of
sand; and yet nature, with a singular
prodigality, has supplied many of these
with organs as complete as those of the
whale or of the elephant, and their bod
les consist of the same substance, ultl-
mate atoms, as that of man himself. In
a single pound of such matter there are
more living creatures than of human
beings on the face of the globe.-M. ".
