Growing Lettuce BY Electric Light

II h now believed that where II Is
profitable to grow lettuce under glass for
market, the electric light can be profit
ably used. Wm. Rawson, OF Arlington,
Mass., has experimental for one season
and feels encouraged to go on with it.
The Worcester Co. (Aiass.) Horticultural
Society has published an account Of what
Mr.. Rawson did. One house for forcing
lettuce, goo feet by twenty -four, was
given In charge OF one arc light, active
till midnight, at cost of Sl6 per month.
The crop was advanced in time twenty
per cent. One weeks advance in five,
is a great gain to the market man.
When the electric light was brought to
some perfection, much was hoped for it
as an aid In the artificial culture of
plants. DIR. Sieman's experiments indi-
Gated some good results, but no attempts
have been made to apply the principle to
profitable uses. It seems to bo conceded
that plants can proceed with those
changes necessary to healthy plant
growth TO great degree under electric
light, though not nearly to the extent
they can under sunlight; but the open
question is, will they do this to an extent
to make its use profitable to the cult
vator.-Neio York Independent.

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
CROSSING OF CORN.


All farmers arc aware that different
varieties OF corn will mix, Ms it is called,
and some attention is usually paid in
planting to prevent it where il would
unfavorably affect choice variety. This
crossing, wherever it occurs, is caused
by the fertilization of the pistils, the
silk, of one variety by the pollen dis
tributed from the tassels of another.
At the Kansas station for three seasons
past careful experiments have been made
in the artificial pollination of corn. In
1883, forty.one varieties were used;
sixtv.sX attempts at cross fertilization
were made, Of which thirty nine were
successful. As practical summary Of
the results, it is said that the numerous
crosses Of maize by artificial pollinatiou
were mostly successful, the different
races, as dent, flint, soft, sweet and pop
corn, with apparently equal resistance.
The effects Of the crossing are in com
paratively few cases (mostly sweet va
rieties) visible the first year. The sec
Cnd rear (the second generation) shows
generally ears more or less completely
blended, often exactly intermediate be.
tween the two parental types; more rare
ly the grains Of single ear are unlike
each other, and each may resemble close
)y or remotely either parent. The product
of the third year is generally true TO the
seed planted; by selecting diverse grains
from any ear or from different years,
ears are obtained with grains usually like
those planted. Any desired form Of a

In view of the above it is possible to
eject desired points Of improvement in
varieties by crossing, aud fixing or per
fecting by subsequent selection. The
experiments the past season were much
reduced in value by reason of serious
drouth. Favorable seasons will doubt
less furnish more favorable or at least
more conclusive results in the efforts to
improve varieties.

THp ANGELS or Evil AND OF GOOD.
The Angel of Evil stood and said-
"rnko Mortal, take this cup;
IL win cheer your heart and clear your
head;
Take, take, and drink itup
"when your feeling low, twill give you
tone;
When weak, twill make you strong;
IL will comfort you whom all alone
And when the world goes wrong
You need not iniulgo 10 vile excess,
But use your self-control;
Yet wine lightcus care, subdues distress,
And stays the faiuting soul
So the Angel of Evil stood and spake,
As on the cups full brink,
The red wine cleaned and he Whispered
"ralSe,
o Mortal. take, and drinkr
But before the tempted one could drink,
The Guardian Angel rose,
And cried NAY Mortal beware, and
think,
Nor taste the cup of woosl
beneath its light lies n fatal spell,
Its pleasures turn to pains;
And its countless victims grolning tell
or its scorching fiery chains.
Upon the wine when it smiles look not
Nor court the joy it brings;
For sHiutly souls 1t can foully blot,
And plant thousand stings.
Abstain, aud seek for the grace Divine,
Which gives you strength to stand,
And labor to save from treacherous wine
Your home and native landr
The Angel ceased and the listener blest
The kind and warning voice;
And whosoever heeds the wise behest
Will surely well rejoice.
For Wisdom's ways are the ways OF peace,
And pleasant everywhere;
And the joys OF those will never cease
Who Join good work TO prayer

COOKING rorAroEs PROPERLY.

There are many ways of cooking po-
tatoes, and old potatoes need more care
in the cooking to make them nice. They
should be peeled and laid in clear cold
water some time before cooking-chang-
ing the water two or three times, or use
ice il you have it at hand. "New pota-
toes" can be made from old ones. Peel
the potatoes aud cut rather small, into
even-sized pieces, put into ice water for
an hour or two; twenty minutes before
you wish to serve them drain the pota-
toes from the ice water and throw into
boiling salted water, cook quickly, drain
of the water and dry the potatoes a mo-
mcnt or two, then put in deep hot dish,
and pour over cream sauce--a pint of
sweet cream, seasoned with butter, pep
per and salt. 1t can be thickened if de-
sired, but is more delicate without
Potatoes done In this way are quite
equal to thew potatoes" and are usually

nice way to cook potatoes is to peel them
and let them stand some time in ice
water, then bake in hot oven aud serve

xrFrcr OF DRINKING ON woRxMry.


A big Cincinnati manufacturer thus de-
scribeS the effect OF the drinking habit on
workingmen: "a drinking man will turn
out ten to twenty per cont. less work than

defective and require overhauliug. This is
especially true OF heavy beer drinkers. A
worllingman may tamper with whisky TO q
very considerable extent and still be capable
of a bright idea OF suggestion; but not so
with beer drinkers; they become heavy, sod

OF doing their work. When one workman
drinks too much it affects the work OF others,
