FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Experimental work at the Wisconsin
station.

station.
In the last report of the Madison, Wis
consin experiment station, it is stated that
trials of different varieties of potatoes and
different sized seed. or of seed from which
the seed end had been cut, and also plant
ing i'm hills three feet apart each way with
two cuttings of two eyes each, or in drills
with one cutting every Is inches, showed
but little difference in results, not enough
to make one method better than the other
Spraying with the Bordeaux mixture
proved remedy for the potato blight
which, however, did not seem to be in any
way connected with the rot, as no rotten
potatoes were found in the blighted rows,
but it kept the vines green much longer and
the yield of merchantable tubers was large
" increased.
Tests of tomato seed taken for six years
from perfectly ripe tomatoes, and seed
which had been bred for the same length
of time from tomatoes that had not turned
color toward ripening, showed that the
growing from unripe seed had made the
fruit ripen earlier by from seven to II days,
but the plants were smaller and foliage
lighter colored, the size of the fruit was re-
duced, and X was of thinner rind, less firm,
did not rpen as well, and was more subject
to decay and to cracking, and the seed did
not come up as well. These faults seemed
to increase the longer the practice of saving
unripe seed from the same strain was kept
up.
For cut worms, piles of clover or other
green material placed in fields where they
are supposed to be proved successful in trap
ping great many of them, but they need
to be gathered daily for some time, two
weeks or more, before their number will be
greatly reduced Putting paris green upon

one-fourth of those caught

The production of rice in this country is
much greater this year than ever before.
This is largely due to the Over-production
of cotton and low prices of that great sta
pie. 1t is believed this year the southern
rice crop will for the first time be large
enough to supply the demand in this coun-
try. This is good news, as the American
rice is of better quality than any other.
Experiments in France show that when
potatoes, beets, onions, grapes, apples and
ounces are stored under ordinary condi-
tions, and well busted with lime, they will
keep for several months longer than if no
lime is used. The lime protects against
unpleasant odors, prevents moisture and
destroys microbes. 1t will cost but tritie
to experiment with lime for that purpose.
New Jersey is now considered the leader
among poultry growing sections, Aside
from the enormous number of brOilers and
fancy varieties raised at Hammonton near
" every small village and town. as well at
the farmers away from these places, grow
poultry. A great many are giving up farm
ing to pursue this and fruit growing, be
cause it is more profitable, with less hard
labor attached.
The last legislature of the state OF New
Jersey passed law which went into effect
the 9th of July, making iifty-fiye hours a
weeks work, and prescribed that the hours
of labor should be ten hours each day with
the exception of Saturday, when the hours
should be five. This applies to all factories,
workshops or establishments where any
kind of goods is manufactured excepting
fruit canning and glass making

In 1878 Bodie was the wickedest town in
all the world. 1t had been mining camp
in 1861, had been worked out, rediscOvered
by George Story in 1877, and by August,
1878, contained $1,000 Inhabitants.
The daily accounts of the days dOings
at Creole, Col, are commonplace compar-
ed with a recital of the feverish existence
at Bodie during the boom. The "Bad
Man from Bodie' acquired a worldwide
fame. The hurdy-gurdies never closed and
were crowded at all hours. Magnificent
saloons cropped up with platcglass mir
rors and furnishings in solid woods
and marbles. Dave Maggie, the slayer of
David 5. Terry: Bill Withrow, since fa-
nous as a shotgun messenger; John Wag-
ner, and Sam Pitcher, who spent $4,000
i'm furnishing his bar room, were the prin-
cipal saloon keepers, aud consequently the
leading citizens.
The camp had its daily paper, the Stand
ard, edited by Frank Kenyon, who after
ward died in Guatemala, and managed by
John VI. DOrmer, subsequently secretary
of state of Nevada. All the miners and
workingmen were well paid, and gambling
was the principal diversion. Every saloon
had its faro bank. But up to the time the
place contained $1,000 people there was nc
church in town, and no sermon had been
preached there. Bodie had been given
over to the Evil One.
On Tuesday, Aug. 20, 1878, "A memora-
BILE event happened in the history of the
camp. The boom was at its height. A

Dehorning cattle has long been practised
by Western cattle owners, and it is now
the usual custom to remove the horns to
prevent the stronger ones from injuring
the weaker. Humanitarians have object
ed to the work, and few cattle owners
have claimed that it injured the flow of
milk and the making of beef. Bulletin 10
of the Minnesota station gives the results
of experiments with horned and dehorned
cattle The horns of half the cattle were
sawed off, and pine tar bandaged over the
place. For the first three days after the
operation the dehOrned cows lost three per
cent in butter fat and seven per cent in
milk flow. But this was only temporary
In a short time the cows recovered their
normal condition, and the milk flow and
fat contents were as large as ever. Owing
to the lack of horns they led more quiet
life after that, and it is judged that the
milk flow and butter yield has been mater
tally increased bv the operation.-Amert-

Nothing allays nervous irritation quicker
than the judiciously administered bath,
whether it be the invalid or the supposed
ly strong and healthy person that is made
the subject. How often the fretful, moan
ing invalid. weary and worn by the simple
friction of the nervous system, finds com
fort and refreshment in gentle sponge
bath, and yields to that restful sleep which
brings a strength no medical agent can
supply! The busy housewife, perpeXed
by multitude of cares, and swcltering in
the heat of her narrow rooms, can find no
better source of strength than to leave care
for brief half-hour and enjoy the luxury
of a bath, from which shall be banished
all thought of haste, all consideration of
of feetng time, or whatever else may enter
to annoy and distract. Coming from the
bath chamber, renewed in boly and in
spirit, she will find that half the terrors of
her former hours have vanished away,
while she is ineXpressibly stronger to meet
those which remain.-GOOd housekeeping.

The Local Attachment of Birds

All our permanent residents among the
birds, both large and small, are compare
lively limited in their ranges. The crow
is nearly as local as the woodchuck. He
goes further from home in quest of food,
but his territory is well defined, both win
ter and summer. His place Of roosting re-
mains the same year after year. Once,
while spending a few days at a mountain
lake nearly surrounded by deep woods, my
attention was attracted each night, Just at
shutdown, by an osprey that always came
from the same direction, dipped into the
lake as he passed over ii for "A sip of its
pure water, and disappeared in the woods
beyond. The routine OF his life was prob
ably as marked as that OF any of ours. He
fished the waters OF the Delaware all day,
probably never going beyond certain
limit, and returned each night at SHUTDOWN,
as punctual as a day laborer, to his retreat
in the forest. The sip of water, too, from
the lake he never failed to take.
All the facts we possess in regard to the
habits of the song birds in this respect
point to the conclusion that the same indi-
viduals return to the same localities year
after year to nest and rear their young.
