Deep Soil For Potatoes.

In relation to deep soil for potatoes,
the Country Gentleman says: Potatoes
and corn differ in one important par
tlcular. A severe drouth of temporary
continuance, causing the leaves of corn
to wither, does not seriously Affect the
amount of the crop, while it may greatly
reduce potatoes. Corn planted or in
verified sod, plowed only five or six
inches deep, will yield more than on
seven or eight-inch sod. On the con-
trary, potatoes are best on deep soil.
We have known sub soiling to increase
the potato crop over thirty per cent. as
compared with contiguous land not SUBJ
soiled. A row of potatoes over filed
ditch yielded double the rows in other
part of the field. The roots of potatoes
run deeper than those of corn. Potatoes
require a continued supply of moist
ture, and deep soil will drink in a
copious rain and give it out to the crop
in time of drouth.

Apoplexy in Swine.

Apoplexy is usually disease of fat
hogs, although an animal that has long
been thin or suffering from excessive
irritation of the intestinal canal would
also be predsposed to it. 1t must be
understood that the process of fattening
an animal in few weeks destroys the
equilibrium of the system, and in one
sense the fairness is in itself disease. The
storing up of fat in the animal economy
is always at the expense of muscular de-
velopment. The muscles become weak
and flabby. All the blood vessels of the
system arc surrounded by strong
tough, muscular coat, that in state of
perfect health will resist any force that
the hearts action can put upon these
canals. But the fattening process weak
ems these tibers; sudden or unusual
strain ruptures one in the brain, and we
call it apoplexy. 1t is not as common
IN the hog as one would expect, but oc--
ours so often that the breeder should
understand 1t and know the right thing
to do. 1t is impossible to foresee when
this is going to occur. If the rupture IS
very small one, when the blood is
oozing out in tiny drops, the hog will
sometimes be found lying insensible and
breathing heavily. No effort will arouse
1t. 1t is more usual to find big, fat
hog lying dead, with no external marks
or signs of the cause of death. Cut
open the skull carefully, and clot of
blood Of greater or less extent will be
found insid. If alive. however. tie q

Cannibal Two-Winged Flies.


The larvsc of certain insects are bene-
fetal to man, because of their habit of
feeding upon the bodies of, and the eby
causing the death of their hosts. OF
these beneficial cannibals there are two
classes, one of which deposits its eggs in
or upon the body of its victim, whore it
matches, and the larva feeds upon the
living tissues of its victim; the other
catches its prey and devours it piece
meal, or sucks its juices out and casts
the more solid portion aside.
To this latter class belong the larvae of
certain two winged flies of the Surplus
family. The adult flies closely resemble
bees in their color, and indeed, in some
parts OF the country they are called
''swcat bees" by the boys Their Larvae are
particularly fond of plant-lice, and few
sights are more interesting than to see the
footless maggot carefully cropping about
until W thin reach of its victim, when it
stretches out its pointed head, pierces
the louise, and, holding it aloft, sucks out
the ju ccs from its plump body and casts
the calcass to the winds.
A species of these larvae destroys the
apple-root louise; another attacks the
louise found on the apple leaves; Others
attack tho lice found on various other
plants The Larvae of Surplus ribesii
have been known to clear the plum tree
Of the lice peculiar to it. When the lice
have canscd the leaves to curl so as to
prevent the insecticides that may be ap-
piled to the tree from reaching them,
these larry : are particularly useful in
following them into such strongholds
and completely clearing them OUT

Gu: .yln~ and Brushing Horses


1t IS quite true that horses will live
witho i 'lie use of the currycomb and
brush, i... they will live and do much
better with it. The skin of any animal
is continually exuding matter of various
kinds-the waste of the system and the
dead surface, which is ALWAYS being re-
placed by new growth This must be
removed in some way, and in its natural
condition the horse rolls and rubs itself,
and as well as it can gets rid of the exu-
dation from its skin. A domesticated
horse has not these opportunities, and
the owner must afford a substitute, which
is best done by the currycomb and
stiff brush. A clean, slick coated horse
is always in healthy condition, and the
skin is very satisfactory indication of
the health OF the horse. A horse that is
working should be thoroughly cleaned
both morning and night by means of a
card or currycomb and stiff brush
