itors as the great cataract of the Mag ara river.
 Tandil is located 1G0 miles from Bue- nos Ayres. It is parochial town, named after a famous Indian chicftain who waged incessant war with the Spanish colonists. l came to Tandil over the Ferro Came del Sud- and after breakfast on pacherO, the invariable native dish, mounted Spanish horse and rode league up the hills to the moving rock.
 The scenery along the path was pie turesquc. The river Tandileofle, flowing down from the Sierras and winding among the hills, irrigates the adjacent country and waters the numerous herds and flocks. The huts of the peasantry, shabby but quaint and attractive in their squalor, lay on the slopes, and the ragged children, with eager, gleaming black eyes, ran along the road begging for dinero.
 The rock is of granite formation and weighs, according to the estimate of scientific authority, about 500 tons. It is poised on the sloping side of an enor- nous rock which is several hundred feet long and which rises high above the ground. The surface of the latter is smooth; in the vicinity there are signs of the passage of a glacier.
 The illustration affords good idea of the appearance of the moving rock. The point on which it rests is about eighteen inches in diameter, and the stone was poised so exactly by the flood on the ice which left it in position that by pressure of the hand I was enabled to stir it with a swaying mo- tion amounting to at least four inches. The wind was calm and insufficient to move the heavy mass, but when the blasts sweep down the Sicrras and implngc on the powder it rolls to and fro.
 Notwithstanding the case with which the rock is swaycd, there is q limit beyond which it will not go by any power which has been applied. Gen. Rosas, during his dictatorship of Argentina, made wager that he could pull the

rock from it's position by attaching 100 horses. The attempt failed, and Rosas, becoming incensed, swore he would overthrow the monster anyway. The number of horses was increased to ao3; the rock, however, went to the limit of its motion and no further. The supply of available horses being exhausted, Rosas was on the point of using gun powder to accomplish his purpose, when his attention was drawn else where by political events, and the rock of Tandil remained unmolested.
 A terrible tragedy occurred beside the moving rock in 1875 A fanatic named Sala Dios collected nearly 15O deluded followers for the purpose, as he claimed, of making an important revelation. Suddenly he commenced a massacre and killed forty-one persons before he was ovcrpowerCd. He had hidden fire. arms in a ere tee of rock and shot Iwomen and children indiscriminately.

Every gardener knows that this is a
most destructive insect among melon,
cucumber, and other young vines, some
times damaging the crop seriously.
Many remedies have been suggested,
some of them no doubt good in their way,
but troublesome. Now, we have tried
for several years another which has
proved with us complete success. In
stead of aiming to drive away the in
sect by SCOT, ashes, etc, we pet it, or
rather furnish it with food better than
the young melon and cucumber plants.
We sow around each hill at the time OF
each planting few radish seed, and
coming up about the same time, the tops
supply pasture for the bug, which it much
prefers to the vices. Lettuce will also
answer, but the radish is rather liked
the best While our vines are untouched
by making this little provision for 1t the
young radish tops are completely perfor-
ated.
Should this fail, which is seldom the
case-and has never been with us
sprinkle the vines with solution OF
whale oil soap and water. No other in
sect but the curculio can stand this.
Where this preparation is not attainable,
a weak solution of carbolic disinfectant
soap will answer as well.-GeTmdTtOl

Properly to use the device requires a
stout halter with metal ring securely
fastened TO the top directly between the
animals ears. A stout leather strap is
firmly fastened overhead, so that it will
hang about where the head of the animal
would be when lying down. To the end
Of the strap a good snap is fixed. The
strap should be put long enough to allow
the horses nose to touch the floor when
the snap is hooked in the ring on the top
Of the halter.
With this arrangement the animal can
lie down comfortably but cannot lay its
head on the floor, and consequently can
not well get cast. This tie was origi-
mated through necessity. 1t may not be

ToREMovE lime from an iron pot wash
in strong vinegar.
If you wish to keep a sharp knife don't
put 1t In hot grease; stir your potatoes
while frying, or turn meat with fork
or an old case knife kept on purpose.
If the flat-iron is dirty tie up a piece
of yellow beeswax in rag, and when
the iron is almost but not quite hot
enough to use rub it quickly with the
wax, and then with u course cloth.
VEGETABLES with strong flavor, such
as onions and turnips, will be much i'm
proved by putting them to boil in cold
water, renewing this from kettle of
boiling water as soon as it comes to q
scald.
WHEN using stale bread for buildings
always soak it in cold liquid. Bread
that has been soaked in cold milk or
water is light and crumblv, whereas that
soaked in hot liquids is heavy.
In boiling meats take the fat from the
top of the water and save for cooking or
soap. In roasting meat pour the grease
out of the pan or dip 1t out before it gets
burned. IL will be excellent for use in
cooking. But IL it stays till the meat is
burned unpleasant flavor.
IT is claimed that few drops of eau
de cologne, ether and chloroform, in
equal parts, poured on a handkerchief
previously wetted with cold water, and
placed on the seat OF nearulgic pain,
gives instantaneous relief. 1t is also
very efficacious for nervous headache.
A NOVEL method of removing grease
from cloth, woollen or silk goods, and
especially applicable to goods of deli
cate texture where the color is easily in
jured, is the use of potato water. Crate
the potatoes to pulp and add water to
the amount of pint to pound. Let it
stand, and when clear pour off all but
the potato sediment at the bottom. This

with clean linen rag, and followed by

Extracted Honey as an Article of Food.

Extracted Honey as an Article of Food.
In prize essay written for the Amert-
can Bee Journal, by A. n. Clark, upon
extracted honey, are these words:
To obtain the best quality, extract
from clean combs, from the supers, and
not from the brood-chamber. III posi-
BILE, avoid extracting from combs con-
tanning pollen in the bottom of the cells,
as such polen-charged honey has dis
agreeable flavor. Keep the combs clean
at all times of the year. See THAI the
extractor and all other metal receptacles
are free from soluable rust. In short,
the utmost cleanliness is required from
the time the combs are removed from
the nIves. until the honey Is in the hands
of the consumer.
AS regards ripening, Eastwood honey
may be extracted before the cells are
completely capped, II Immediately placed
in a hot, airy room. BY this method OF
evaporation IL loses some of its strong,
and, to many, disagreeable flavor. But
white clover, which Is deficient in flavor
ing-matter at its best, should not be re-
moved from the hive until thoroughly
ripened; and unless the aplarist has the
best of facilities for evaporating honey,
he had better leave all honey, even bass
wood, to be ripened in the hive
Annually, the quality of hundreds of
tons of honey is ruined by improper
storage. II dry, warm room cannot
be obtained, it should, on the day IL is
extracted, be placed in barrels or cans
and sealed air-tight.
In using barrels, avoid whisky bar
rels, as they are usually charred inside,
and the crystalized honey cannot be re-
moved without disturbing particles OF
charcoal. Pine barrels or pals are OBJ
jectionable, unless waxed, as they i'm
part piney flavor. New oak-staves are
subject to similar objection; but when
these barrels have contained alcohol, they
no longer impart a woody flavor to the
honey. Alcohol being powerful solv.
ent, IL has dissolved out Of the slaves the

In most localities the best receptacles
for home trade are those OF tin, we'll la

When put In glass, the honey should be
treated and sealed while hot, thus pre-
serving the liquid form longer than when
put up cold. With glass vessels, small
labels should be used, as clear, bright,
liquid honey is more attractive than any
printed label.
The apiarist should encourage the use
of crystalized honey for two reasons.
First, II is moro convenient TO handle;
second. 10 proves It's freedom from com
mercial glucose-the only adulterant
that could possibly be used at present
prices
Yet in spite OF the fact that honey
sells for less than sugar, II an apiarist
uses sugar for winter stores, IL will hurt
his home market, no matter who he is,
or who his customers are. Not only
must the apiarist be honest in every
thing, but in many cases he must be
more than honest.
