THE FIRST CULTIVATION OF CORN.

Properly speaking, the first cultiva-
ton after corn is planted is not of the
corn for it Is not yet up, but of the
soil. After. the grain has terminated
its root at first grows more rapidly than
the top and harrow passed over it
loosens the soil, breaks the crust and
practically does no damage whatever
But after the corn is up and large
enough to see the rows, we like to 60
through it with the cultivator, and
pretty deeply the first time. The OBJ
ject is not to cut near the hill where the
bulk of the roots are at this time, but to
stir up the centre between the rows that
has likely enough been compacted by
rains. If not done at once it cannot be
done without severe cutting of roots.
So the first cultivation should be in the
centre of the row and as deep as the
plow went, if possible. After that fol.
low with the drag again if you wish. 1t
will enliven the surface near the corn
roots, where after the cultivation in the
centre it will seem much compacted.
After the first cultivation the teeth NAV
be spread SO as to cut as near as posi-.
bic to the corn and be set to 90 in as
shallow as possible. -B1stoS Cultirator.

Sending Map or Picture by telegraph.

The fac-simile telegraph, by which
manuscript, maps or pictures may be
transmitted, is a species of the automatic
method already described, in which the
receiver is actuated spontaneously with
its trarsnitter. By Lenoir's method a
picture or map is outlined with insulating
ink upon the cylindrical surface of ro-
tating drum, which revolves under a
point having slow movement along the
axis of the cylinder, and thus the con-
Quoting point goes over the cylindrical
surface of a spiral path. The electrical
circuit will be broken by every ink
mark on the cylinder which is in this path.
and thereby corresponding marks are
made in a spiral line by an ink-marker
upon drum at the receiving end. To
produce these outlines it is only neces-
sary that the two drums be rotated in
unison. This system is of little utility,
there being no apparent demand for fac
smile transmission, particularly at so
great an expense of speed, for it will be
seen that instead of making 4 character
of the alphabet by very few separate
pulses, as is done by Morse, the number
must be greatly increased. Many dots
become necessary to show the outlines
of the more complex characters.
The pantelegraph is an interesting type
of the fac-simile method. In this form
the movements of pen in the writer's
hand produce corresponding movements
of pen at the distant station, and
thereby fac-simile record.-Srihner.

it is equally good for grain, roots O,

Also nail upright short boards, 1 fl

three inches space, through which the
sheep will pull the hay, very little at a
time, and eating nearly as fast as thew
pull it down. You will be surprised to
find how really they will do this
through such a small opening. All
roots and grain VIII drop at once to the
bottom where each Will share alike. II
often made me laugh at first to see how
nicely l had checkmatcd their bad dis.
position to overhaul everything at once
and made them behave decently at meal
time. The saving is very con.
siderable, the sheep keep better, and it
is very pleasant to see all crowding,
wasting, partiality and favoritism done
away with.

EUREKA SHEEP RACK.

All who keep sheep are ware of their
disposition, above all other animals, to
nose over and through their feed, what
ever it be, picking out few tidbits
and very soon getting the rest under
foot and unfit to eat. Sheep are dainty
creatures and will not eat enough to
keep well unless their ration is pro-
tected from this habit. l have tried
giving much more than they would eat,
allowing them to choose, and giving
the remainder to horses, which do not
much mind the sheep-smell left upon
it. But this plan did not work well.
1 have seen sheep-yards thoroughly lit
tered with bright timothy hay, pulled
down from sort of rack made by put
ting two sticks in bench, two or three
inches apart. A great improvement on
this is kind of box, any length you
choose, It feet wide, with boards at
top and bottom, and strips up and
down to keep the sheep from crowding.
But still with this my sheep would pull
great deal under foot. This disguised
me so that studied out my Eureka, by
which they eat everything very clean,
and keep in better condition. l after
ward saw something similar in an acri-
cultural paper, but much more co mpli-
Gated and expensive, and not quite so
good, In my estimation. With my de-
scriptlon any ordinarily intelligent far
mer can make it at small cost:
Take four posts-a small chestnut

can go in with it. 1t is the same with a
chicken or a pigeon, a basket of vcgcta-
bles or anything that the farmer raises.
Then there is a tax upon date trees
amounting to 5000, 900 year, upon salt
of more than million, upon tobacco
and slaughter houses, and in fact upon
everything under the Egyptian sun. The
donkey boy here pays a tax, the doctor
pays tax, the storekeeper is taxed, and
there is in addition to this a general
tariff of eight per cent. on all imports.
There are taxes upon sheep and goats,
which are paid whether the animals are
sold or not. There are taxes on wells,
taxes on fisheries and taxes paid for land
which Egypt once owned, but which she
gave up with the loss of Soudan. 1t is
no wonder that the Egyptian people are
poor. 1t is wonder that they can exist

LAZY BEES.

Bees are proven bially ind ustrious, brl
now and then colony will be found
that does not deserve the title. Ihave
been watching with interest a very
large colony with the surplus boxes full
of bees; also the portico and the out
side of the hive covered to the ton.
They have been loafng for over fort
night, and the honey in the surplus.
boxes increased very slowly. 1 was
tired of such folly, and moved their
hive and put in its place hive contain.
ing young bees and virgin queen. I
obtained these bees in this way: A col.
ony swarmed, and, as 1 do not desire
increase, 1 hived them and moved the
old colony, putting the swarm where it
stood. The next day l took out all the
combs belonging to the old colory,
brushed off the bees and extracted the
honey. There was no young brood, as
the colony had swarmed before and
there were a number of queen cells that
their inmates had lately left. All bees
that had been working IN the fields few
to the old stand and joined the swarm.
i put back the frames and carried the
hives to where the loafng colony had
stood, and dipped out the bees with a
long handled spoon from the crowded
portico and gave them to the new hive.
The bees that were working in the
fields, as they returned, entered the
hive upon their old stand. There are
now two good working colonies in leu
of one loating one.

FOR FARM AND GARDEN.
TO BREAK REARING HORsEI.


Young horses are sometimes given to
this bad habit. One who has had some
experience with them says to use mar
tingale, with running rein commenc-
ing at the breast strap of the martin
ga c, and then, running through the
ring of the sLaflle, bring it back to the
hand; this will give you full power
over the horse head when its exercise
is called for, and will not distress him
while he behaves himself. 1t will not
take long TO break a young horse in
this way from a very dan gerOus and bad
habit. --IdiqaG Farmer.
