The KOIa Nut

The commercial importance Of the
lola nut has, for some time, been stead
lily growing. It is valuable dietetic and
therapeutic agent, and is allied in com
position to cocoa, coffee and tea, but
contains relatively large amount of
caffeine. The properties ordinarily as
signed to kola are those of strong tonic
and stimulant to the nervous system,
counteracting and removing the sense of
exhaustation after fasting and fatigue; it
has also been credited with having an
antagonistic action to alcohol, and is fire.
quently used in the countries where it is
grown for that purpose; it is also said to
purify water 1t has a peculiar stimu-
liant action on the nervous system, temp
orarily strengthens the heart beat and in
creases the arterial tension. In times of
exertion and fasting it wards off the
sense of mental and physical depression
and exhaustion. As water purifier,
there is reason to believe that its action
is purely mechanical. In report which
has been recently made on this nut, it is
recommended to be used as an infusion
in the treatment of diarrhea, where its
astringent action is beneficial.

HOW TO PLANT LIMA BEANS.

1t is almost universal practice in New
Jersey to plant lima beans by thrustinG
them into the ground with the eye down
ward, farmers claiming that the bean is
not so likely to rot and the plants appear
earlier than when the seed is set
otherwise. The idea in planting lima
beans in this way probably originated in
some one observing that when a bean
sprouts both root and stem start from the
eye and the bean is lifted above ground
the two catyledons becoming the first
pair of leaves, usually called the seed
leaves. This is true with all species and
varieties of the bean, while with peas,
which belong to the same family of plants,
the seeds remain in the ground OF
below the surface when they throw UP
new shoot. We have always practised
planting lima beans the same way that
we do other kinds, that is, drop them
on the ground and cover them with a
hoe, and we have yet to discover that it
made any difference whether seed was
covered when lying on the side or set up
on its edge. Try row Of limas next
year, planting each alternate hill in the
row different, and see if those with eyes
down succeed any better than those with
eyes up; or on the side, laying the bean
fiat-and covering with hoe-Neo0 Yo1k

THE DARN.

The man who goes about his barn with
pipe or cigar is recommended to take
out an insurance policy at once from one
of the old line companies. We recon-
mend the old line companies, in such case,
for two reasons: First, such carelessness
should be made to pay as high as posi-.
BILE for its fun; and second, such a man
ought not to impose upon his neighbors
who form the basis of the farmers mu.
tual companies. We saw man not long
ago smoking while he was currying his
horse in the stable. He said he had done
it for years and had not had fire yet.
1t is possible that man might smoke in
q powder mill for years without causing
an explosion, but he would be very
reckless man who should attempt it. II
needs but spark among hay or straw to
burn down barn with the probable loss
of all there is in it. Never do anything
which is likely to cause a fire. If a fire
in the barn does occur, there is one thing
that it is well to remember. Horses are
frightened "out of their wits" by fire.
You cannot lead horse from burning
barn in the ordinary way. The best way
is to blindfold the animal. This may be
done by throwing a coat or blanket over
the head Western Rural.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Stake the lima beans.
Is the strawberry bed cleanl
Don't leave the Paris green around
loose.
Don't hill up the onions, level culture
is the best.
Don't leave the potatoes in the hot
sun after they are dug.
Keep the raspberries nipped back, and
don't let the weeds grow among the
bushes.
1t is fact that young pigs are often
overfed and hurt, sometimes killed, by
overfeeding.
As soon as a crop of vegetable is har-
vested, clear off the ground and set out
late cabbage or celery.
Unleached ashes applied about the
plants and washed in by rains are said to
destroy the cabbage maggot.
Don't make the mistake of overstocll-
ing the pasture and expect the stock to
come in in the fall in good shape.
Grass should be made the basis Of our
pork. In grass include not only COM
mon pasture, but clover and green corn
stalks.
Likeall domestic animals, to be profit
able the hog must be well bred. The
scrub hog like the scrub steer is poor
property.
When young pigs are weaned they
should be fed in a shallow trough, from
which they can take their food only very
slowly.
Protect the young trees from the sun.
A shield of lath woven together with an
nealed wire will answer; it will also pro-
tect from rabbits in winter.
Chop off the burdock shoots as fast as
they show above ground. Burdocks de-
light in plenty of food and rob the soil
for a considerable distance around them.
If you have no better use for the ground
from which you have taken the early
vegetables, sow it to corn for fodder.
Where the crop is, there will be no
weeds.
In sowing turnips use care to scatter
the seed regularly and evenly. Don't
have big bare spots, then patches where
the plants are so close together they can
make no bottom.
Clean cultivation is the best remedy
for the root plant louise in the apple
orchard, says Kansas orchardist.
Keep it up till the 1st of August, then
the scythe should be used to keep the
weeds down.
A few sods and little COW manure
made into heap now where you can
throw kitchen slops, will make an excel
lent compost for your flower pots next
summer. But don't have the heap too
near the house.
If you want some nice crisp lettuce, or
fresh green peas when cool weather comes
again, sow them now; use the early va
riety of peas. Sprout them slightly be-
fore sowing, by mixing them with fine
moist soil for few days.
Anything in the nature of lye will de-
stroy the apple tree borer, or the young
borers before they penetrate the bark
very far; but after the borer is once un-
der the bark, following it up with a wire
is the only way to destroy it.
Massachusetts, Ploughman suggests that
in tomato blight or black rot rotating the
tomato with other crops may prove an adj
vantage as it is well known to be with
cabbages and turnips, which are subject
to the attack of disease called club-root
when repeatedly grown on the same land

Plants Protected by Their Juices.

When a drop of the juice of sorrel,
garlic, saxifrage, or nasturtion is put
upon the tegument of snail, the animal
manifests pain and exudes abundance OF
its mucous secretion; yet it is not thus
affected by drop of water. When
snails avoid plants marked by such juices,
we have a right to regard the plants as
defended by chemical armor. The Of
fensive substance may also be important
to the nutrition of the plant, but that is
not the question we are dealing with here.
Many plants are evidently lacking in this
means of defense; for, of some plants, all
the animals experimental upon have been
found to prefer fresh to dead parts.
Others are never touched by them,
whether living or dead. Hence we may
conceive that an infinite variety may exist
in the degrees of chemical armoring be-
tween total absence of protection and
complete protection.
Plants pertaining perceptible tannin
are disagreeable to nearly all animals.
Only swine will eat acorns as if they re-
gard them as food Other animals re.
iect them, except when they can not gel
anything else. Leguminous plants con
tanning tannin in weak proportions ar'
eaten by horses and cattle, but snails arC
not fond of them. But the garden snail
which lets fresh clover alone, will eat il
freely after the tannin has been extracted
with alcohol. Popular Science Monthly

HINTS ABOUT HORSES.

Once during lifetime is all any man
need expect to be suited in family horse.
Be kind but firm with the horse; petting
is as much out of place as abuse. Feed
the horse out of trough placed on the
ground; this is not only the most natural
position, but it prevents the proper eleva-
tor muscles of the shoulder becoming rigid
and fixed, which by constant use Of high
managers and tight refining is frequently
the case. How often do we see horses
worked in towns to heavy carts or light
carriages unable when turned out to grass
to get their heads to the ground without
setting the fore feet out wide, sometimes
going down on one OF both knees, or set
ting one leg forward with the other as far
back as possible. Twelve quarts of good,
clean old oats, with twenty-one pounds of
good, clean old hay, with a sprinkling of
salt, is sufficient ration for an ordinary
sized horse for one day. Beans are the
most muscle producing food given to
horses. Horses in the habit of swallow
ing food without thoroughly masticating
can be cured by covering the bottom Of
the feed trough with loose stones about
the size of an egg.
Never offer unsolicited advice for the
medication of neighbor's sick animal ];
if it RECEIVERS you have nothing to gain,
and good deal to lose if it dies. Be
| fore venturing to use or prescribe a
medicine, become thoroughly acquainted
with its nature and action better leave q
sick animal alone to nature than impose
blind assistance. Never buy a horse
afflicted with a mucus discharge from
one or both nostrils; by general OBJ,
servance of this much could be done tC
prevent spread of glanders, equivalent tC
thousands of dollars in some districts
Never trot or run a horse suffering with
tympanitic collie, which presents swol
len appearance. Walk the animal slowly
or allow to roll at pleasure, taking cart
to provide a suitable place. Carrots

SETTING NmK roR CREAM.

1t is generally conceded that for the
best results in butter making, where the
milk is set in deep cans, the milk should
be placed in the creamer as nearly as pos
sible at the temperature at which it is
drawn from the cow, there being a con-
siderable loss of fat in sxim-milk if the
milk is allowed to cool to any great ex-
tent before being set. of late there has
been considerable controversy as to
whether it is advisable under any condi-
tions, to warm the milk before setting,
and as to the limit of temperature beyond
which it is not safe to go. Mr.. 1. p.
Roberts concludes, as the result of inves-
legations at the College of Agriculture at
Cornell University, that first there is a
loss of butter when the milk is heated,
there is no risk of injuring the quality of
the butter by incorporating in excess OF
caseine, even when the milk is heated as
high as 1876 degrees.-NelO York World.

THr oHop-BoUEp FOWL.

The crop-bouud fowl is not one which
has simply gorged itself with food, but
one which has the passage obstructed
through which the food passes from the
crop to the gizzard. A fowl never eats
more than it can digest, provided the
food can get into the digestive organs.
A fowl rarely swallows anything which
cannot easily pass into the gizzard. The
trouble is solely caused by the accumula-
lion of the food in quantities in the crop,
in which condition it becomes packed in
solid mass.-Fdrm, Field and StOnk-
man.

THE Farm AND GARDEN.
PHOSPHATE FoR ruRNrPs.


In England phosphate is not applied
to grain crops directly as here, but is
used on turnips, and these are fed off by
sheep on the land where the roots grow.
Sheep that have had some experience will
dig out the interior of the turnip very
quickly, leaving the pungent peeling on
the outside untouched, save where the
hole was made to get at the centre. In
this double working of the phosphate in
the roots and through the animals
stomachs, it gains very considerably in
effective value for grain, and when eaten
by sheep is distributed quite evenly.
The animals are herded or confined in
small plots on the turnip field until the
roots are fully eaten.-Ne,o York W.T.

"Iknow a colored man who uses a fish
for horse"
Mr.. w. c. Casey of Augusta knows
more about fish and snake stories than
any man in Georgia. Catfish, when
frightened, he says always run down
stream. On this he builds a narrative,
and swears to it.
A colored man, fishing in the Savan-
nah, he says, hooked "a huge catfish,
which ran down stream at a rapid rate,
the boat and man following, the cat not
stopping until exhausted. 1t was then
captured but placed in the water. The
next day the captor tied a rope to it, at
tached the line to his boat aud turned
the fish in the river. Down stream the
boat went, faster than oars could carry
it or wind propel it,

WISE WORDS.
Little men cannot pardon.

Little men cannot pardon.
Strong reasons make strong actions.
Time and opportunity lost is eternally
lost.
The secret of life is not to do what one
likes, but to try to like what one has to
do.
1t cannot be denied that amusement is
one of the most powerful influences Of
life.
Great things are not accomplished by
idle dreams, but by years of patient
study.
Wit should be used as a shield for de-
fence, rather than a sword to wound
others.
We always like those who admire us.
We do not always like thOse whom we
admire.
More failures are to be attributed to
efforts misdirected than TO the want OF
sXertion.
There are more people abusive to
others than lie open to abuse themselves,
but humor goes round, and he that
| laughs at me to-day will have somebody
to laugh at him tomorrow.
Ability is often re-enforced by neces
5ity. He that will not suffer himself to
be discouraged by fancied impossibilities

ated by the necessity of exerting them a
short intervals, as the force of a current
is increased by the contraction of il

wilds of Robson Township, in Pennsyl-

of Directors of the Poor, and brought to

of land in the lonely locality, and for
the last four years has lived alone, re-
fusing to see any one, and subsisting en-
tirely on corn meal, which he raised him
self and ground in primitive mill of his
own manufacture. He believed it was
