Mystery of the Growth of Trees.

Mr.. John T. Campbell explains in the
american Naturalist his discovery of one
of the causes of the phenomenon of par
ticular tracts of land being covered with
a simultaneous, nearly exclusive, growth
of trees of particular species. Some
have ascribed the phenomenon to pecu-
liar fitness of the soil to particular kinds
of vegetation, which he does not find to
exist. His own explanation is very sim
pie, and is to the effect that the matter
lies wholly or mainly in the fact of the
ground being in fit condition to receive
the seeds of the various species when they
fall upon it. Seeds of different kinds
fall at various seasons, and when the
ground is in various conditions as to
moisture, ETC. Those that find the ground
in good condition sprout and grow, if
no accident occurs to remove the
plants when very young. Mr.. Campbell
Las tested this view in his surveys in the
occasionally flooded bottom-lands of the
Wabash River, and illustrates it by fol-
lowing the futures of the seeds of three
species of trees. The balls of the syca-
more or button wood begin falling early
in the spring months, and if flood is re-
ceding at the time, they stick to the soft,
moist banks wherever they touch them,
and particularly along the highest parts
of the sand bars. Were it not for the
subsequent floods in the same spring no
other trees could grow, for these would
occupy the ground. But they are easily
killed during their infancy by overfows,
aud this is what happens to most of
them The cottonwood is the next in
order of shedding seed, and if another
food is receding while this is taking
place it will have killed all the sycamores
which it has covered, and sprout the cot
tonwoods. These in turn may be killed
by the next floods. 1t is the turn of the
naples next to shed their seed and try for
the ground. Ii either of these species
succeeds in making wood without a
food, it will hold the ground, and its
rivals will not be able to get place,
Last spring the edges of the successive
plantations escaped the next floods after
the seeds fell upon them, and Mr.. Camp
bell could see along the river banks three
belts of young trees, and distinguish
them by their general appearance. The
upper belt was of sycamore, the second
(downward)o )of cottonwood, and the third
of soft maple. In June a bigger flood
came than any that caused the seeds to
sprout, and killed all the young trees.

How Italians Cure the Earaclle.

A remedy, one unequaled indeed, for
earache is that in use among the sailors
and bathers at Viareggio and Leghorn,
and indeed all along the coast of that
part of Italy. A piece of linen is spread
with melted bees wax-tho purer the
better-and then rolled tightly into
cornucopia shape, the snail end of which
is introduced into the patients ear as he
lies down. The cornucopia should not
be less thau three, four, or even fl e
inches long. Flannel clpths are then
laid over the head and face, the cornu-
copia is set alight, and burns slowly as
long as the patient can bear it, until
burned quite near the face, when it is
removed from the ear. This proceeding
gives almost instant relief, and if the
pain happens TO have been caused by the
presence of any foreign substance in the
ear it will come away with the cornu-
copia. London S0cicty.

FARM AND GARDEN.
How to Clean a Farm Horse.

How to Clean a Farm Horse.
One Of the most important things to
be observed In the management of farm
horses is their cleaning, and yet it may
be safely stated that nothing is more
neglected by the majority of farmers.
The horse should never be cleaned or
harnessed while it is eating breakfast.
Let horses eat their food in peace, for
many, from sanguine temperament or
greed, bot their oats when handled dur
ing the time of feeding. Harness can be
qn.ckly enough put on after the feed is
ca.en, and tine should then be taken to
comb the name and tail and use wisp
of straw on the body and legs. When
the horses come in at dinner time, they
should at once be UaharaesSed. The feed
is then to be given, and before the har-
ness is again put on, the horse should be
thoroughly rubbed down with wisp of
straw or hay. II the horses are very
warm on coming in, they should be
rubbed down Immediately after the re-
moval of the harness.
The cleaning or grooming, which
should be done at night, consists first in
currying the horse with the currycomb
to free him of the dirt adhering to the
hair, and which, being now dry, is easily
removed. A wispiDg of straw removes
the toughest of the dirt loosened by the
currycomb, The legs ought to be thor
oughly wisped, not only to make them
clean, but 10 dry up any moisture that
may have been left in the evening; and
at this time the feet should be picked
clean by the foot picker-i. e., an iron
instrument made for the purpose-of any
dirt adhering between the shoe and the
foot. The brush is then to bo used to
remove the remaining and finer portions
of dust from the hair, which is cleared
from the brush by few rasps along the
currycomb. The wisping and brushing,
if done with some force and dexterity,
with combing of the tail and name,
should render the horse pretty clean, but
there are more ways of grooming horse
than one, as may be witnessed
by the careless and skimming way
in which many hired hands do it. The
skin of the farm horse should at all times
be clean if not 81 ,ek, and slap of the
hand upon the horse will show if there
is lFose uusI III tne Halr. ne curry
comb sholld not be used below the
knees, as it is apt to cause injury. Fol
cleaning the legs and feet, nothing is
better than the water brush; and when
fitting horse for the showyard, it may
also be used on the body with water, OF
even Little kerosene, but the latter is
not required for common cleanliness, but
merely to impart temporary gloss.
How many farmers can say that their
horses are eaaed as thoroughly as we
have advised in the above2 How much
longer would horses live, work and re.
main healthy if the ABOVE suggestion,
were put into practice2 These are ques
tions which it will be we'll to consider
and answer at leisure --FGrmer'S Re0ieW.

Electrical Cremation.

An electrical crematory is said to hav,
been devised by a process described al
follows: The body, being shro lded in
sheets made of asbestos, is laid upon :
frame composed of fire brick, while at
the head and foot are large copper plates
to which the leads from specially con
structed dynamos of large electro motive
force are attached. The body apparently
occupies the position of the filament il
an incandescent lamp, and upon the cur
rent being pas ed through it, would b,
instantly carbonized; while, as the ali
would have free access to it, the process,
of destruction, or rather decomposition
would be immediate. The process ap
pears to have the recommendation ol
great rapidity of action, and freedom
from many of the objections to crema.
tion in the ordinary way, and admits Of
several little improvements upon all rec
ognized forms of burial. Free Press.

A BuenOs Ayres Milkman.

A letter from Buenos Ayres, tho
largest city in South America, to the
Chicago Netcs has the following: Here
comes fellow ho;s,ed upon a huge
bundle OF sheepskin, on the back of an
antique horse. What is he doing up
there, sitting on the pack as on q chair,
with his feet on each side of the horses
withersl That is milkman from the
country, and in that pack are six or eight
Urge milk cans He is Basque, and he
and his country do most of this milk
business. While we were wondering
how many of these pack animals are
needed for 400, 900 people, and how much
advantage the Basque takes of the
monopoly, down the cross street comes a
native leading two COWS, and to the tail
of each is tied the calf He stops in
front of house, a servant comes out
with a pitcher, the man turns the calf
about, gives him moments hope and a
taste of reality. These COWS are so
mothclly that they will not give down
their milk except for the calves, which
must always stand by their side. This
must be in the climate, as cows brought
from North America and trained to more
generous habits soon develop the same
domestic purpose. The man shuts off
the calf, fills the pitcher, and goes his
way

A Sleepy Old English Village

An odd account is given by the
Western 4M0rning Ne'rS, of Yealmpton,
an English'village within seven miles of
Plymouth with population of nearly
a thousand:
Newspapers are not delivered till thirty
four hours after they are printed, and the
delivery of letters is of very meager
kind. This obliges the inhabitants to
resort to all sorts of shifts to obtain "a
bit of news" Interesting items are
scribb!ed on pieces of paper by those who
travel from Plymouth to Yealmpton, and
these are pushed under the doors of lead
inhabitants, who communicate the con-
tents to their neighbors. The vicar, who
receives G4SO a year, has long been
practically past active work, and was not
particularly active when he had health
and strength. Services are conducted in
fashion on Sunday mornings and after
moons, yet they are of such kind that
few beyond the wears household attend.
The vicar knows so little of his parish
oners that quite recently he directed that
some clothing should be sent from a
local charity to man whom he haf
buried four years ago.
