Nuts on the Farm.

A writer in the st. Louis Republic says
that is surprising that nut trees are not
grown upon every farm, as many of our ma
tive nut trees and shrubs are ornamental as
well as useful. Yet there are farmers who
cut down fine hickory and chestnut trees to
make room for the Insignificant evergreens
they buy at the nursery. The common
hazel, "Corylus Americana" when grown
10 cluster near the house, gives pleasant
mint of the woods. Its tassel-like flowers
and the green-fringed husk which covers the
pretty, brown nut. are curious and beauti-
iul and would be appreciated if the bush
was imported and sold at high price.
The shelI-bark hickory tree, "Carya
alba" is beautiful in form and foliage. 1t

Farm and s took Notes.

Do not throw the cornstalks away. but
pass them through a cutter and use them in
the manure heap as absorbents, so as to
allow them to quickly decompose. If they
are tender, cut them and feed them to
stock.
House plants should have as much sun
and light during the winter months as pos
sible; admit air whe never the temperature
is not cold, say 400 Fahrenheit in the open
air.
Tue leaves of house plants should be kept
clean, and frequent ly sprinkled with water,
or washed with plant syringe, this not only
keeps off the inse cts, but clears the leaves
of dust and opens UP the breathing pores.
The housewife who makes a practice of
giving fowls mixed mess of warm mash
and vegetables with scraps of meat and
crumbs of bread will quickly discover that
1t Is superior to an exclusive diet of grain
for poultry.
There are at the present time in
Germany upward of 600 cooperative

market.

An editor of an agricultural paper re-

Mosby. consul at that point. The boy has travelled not less than 275 900 miles, including two voyages around the world, and has touched his foot upon the soil of the three Americas, Europe, Aisa, Africa and any quantity of islands, and been clear around Australia. His last trip on the Lbertad, a boat thirty five feet long, carrying only four tons,
 was 1000 miles long, sea voyage un- paralleled for vessel of the size. His father. mother and elder brother were his companions. At times they were 2,000 miles from land. and the frail little craft met dangerous storms, but came

The Satellite of Neptune.

M Tisserand has presented a report to the Paris Academy of Sciences con corning some remarkable observations of the satellite of the planet Neptune, which was discovered in lS47. The an- gle which the plane of the orbit of this satellite made at that date with the eclip- tic was about 30 degs., but this angle has now increased by at least degs. The satellite moves round it's principal in an opposite direction to that usually fol- lowed by other satellites, so that a ques- tion might be raised whether in the course of time this variation in the in- clination of the plane of it's orbit nigh. not end in it's movement around it's prin- cipal becoming normal. NJ. Tisserand showed that this variation of inclination was due to the oblate or fattened con dition of Neptune at its poles, and that it will complete its limit within a period of 500 years, at the end of which time it will again be as it was in 1S47.-Scieu- tific American.
