An hour passed when loud knock

The heart-sick mother and daughter, who

Transportation of Teeth.

Experiments have recently been made
by DR.. Younger, of San Francisco, on
the subject of the transportation of
teeth, with view to their growth in
the new position. 1t would appear that,
if proper precautions be taken to secure
perfect opposition and cleanliness the
operation is often attended with success,
and possesses many advantages over the
use OF false teeth. The inflammation of
the gums, however, is somewhat persist
ent, and constitutes drawback, from
the inconvenience which results there
from. Recourse to this method is more
particularly indicated when the teeth to
be replaced are front teeth, and essential

Novel Horse-Shoes,

Various trials of the new French
horseshoe, which is made entirely of
sleeps horn, are said to show its
adaptedness for horses employed in
towns, and known not to have a steady
foot on the pavement. The results of
the experiments are therefore regarded
as very satisfactory, horses thus shod
having been driven at rapid pace on
such pavement without slipping. Be-
sides this advantage, the new Shoe is
spoken of as more durable, and, though
a little more expensive than the ordi-
nary kind, seems destined, sooner or

CLEAN CULTIVATION.
Why the Ground Should BE Kept Free
from Weeds from the Start.

Why the Ground Should BE Kept Free
from Weeds from the Start.
Clean cultivation is essential to good
crops. This often takes work, palms.
taking, tedious hoeing and weed-pull-
ing. A considerable amount of labor
can be saved if pains are taken to keep
clean from the start See that the
ground is thoroughly cleaned up before
planting, and work the soil as fine as
possible so that the cultivation can be
commenced as soon as time will admit
after the crops are planted. One mis-
take is too often made of delaying to
cultivate soon enough. The weeds are
allowed to make good start, while the
plants are making sufficient growth to
be readily distinguished.
find eech year that it pays better to
take pains to get the soil in the very
best condition before planting the seeds,
and then with good rake kill out the
weeds as fast as they appear. If they
are destroyed as fast as they make their
appearance, they can be kept down very
readily and the surface kept fine and
mellow. This insures good start for
the plants and this is a considerable
gain. Often after the seed is planted
we have hard, beating rains followed by
hot sunshine, weather that causes a
crust to form on the surface through
which it is often very difficult for the
plants to make any thing like a fair
growth.
1t pays to plant every thing in drills.
1t is difficult to get weeds so thoroughly
killed that no cultivation is needed. And
it is much easier to cultivate when the
plants are growing in straight rows than
when scattered broadcast over the bed.
use garden cultivator after the plants
have made good start to grow, and by
running close to the plants and stirring
the soil, very little hand wedding or hoe
ing is necessary.
If you wait until the weeds get fairly
ytarted to grow, many of them are not
destroyed by cultivating they are merely
set aside or stirred out of their places
and continue to grow as well as ever:
this is not SO likely to be the case if thew
are disturbed when young and tender,
Then a good, sharp steel rake thorough.
ly stirs the surface, and if proper care
is taken while the weeds are small
they are very readily destroyed and a
large portion of them permanently,
