Spanish Satisfy.

A vegetable that promises to be of con-
siderable value If once generally introduc-
| ed, is the so-called Spanish satisfy, native
Of Southern Europe. L. FL. Bailey, of the
Cornell station, who has grown this
satisfy for two years has this TO say about
it:
/" Spanish satisfy makes a root much
like satisfy, except that il is much lighter
colored and considerably longer Its fla.
Vor is less pronounced than that of the
satisfy, but when carefully cooked it pos
sesses d very agreeable quality, which is
somewhat intermediate betw cen that of
the satisfy and parsnip It is adapted to
all the methods of cooking employed for
those vegetables.
The particular value of the vegetable
aside from affording a variety in the
kitchen garden, is its large size and pro-
! ductiveness as compared with the satisfy.
| About twice the crop Can be raised upon a
given area than can be secured from salsi-
fly, end no doubt it could be sold for that
vegetable in the general market.
The seeds are much easier to handle and
SOW tran thoDe of the satisfy. It is sown
and cultivated IN exactly the same manner
as that vegetable, and can be dug either
in the fall or spring. Perhaps the great
est disadvantage of the plant is the very
prickly leaves, which may make it uppleas-
ant to handle. But upon tee whole, it is
worth introduction into American gar
dens. Seeds are offered by some Ameri,
can seedSmcn.
The plant was brought to the attention
Of American gardeners nearly thirty years
ago. The American Horticultural Annual
for 1871 said of it: ''Tt does not seem to
be quite as hardy DIS the satisfy, some
plants which were left out for experiment.
being found partly decayed in the spring.
1t Is less trouble ONE to prepare, and does
| not r quire SO much care in cooking as the
satisfy, and has a milder flavor. Ga the
other hand the roots being longer and
more brittle, are more difficult to dig, and
| the centre is somewhat ibrous. This last
! difficulty is overcome by the French by
FIRST boiling the roots and then splitting
them and removing the tough centre,
which readily separates from the outer
portion, which is very tender" Mr. Bal,
ley, however, has not found tough centres
in the plants he has grow.

Life After Forty.

The best half of life is in front of tne
man of forty, if he be anything of a man.
TIE work he will do will be done with tue
hand of master, and not raw appren-
tice. The trained intellect does not see
''men as trees walking" but sees every
thing clearly and in just measure. The
trained temper does not rush at work like a
blind bull at haystack, but advances with
the calm and ordered pace of conscious
power and deliberate determination. To
no one is the world so aew and toe future
SO fresh as to him who has spent the early
part of his manhood In striving to under
stand the deeper problem of science and

commonest things are rare and wonderful,
both in themselves, and as parts of q
beautiful and intelligent whole. Such a

Kind Act of Kings Daughter.

On an elevated train the other day a
glimpse was had of a kind act, the doer
of which little suspected that she was no
hced. Among the passengers was a sweet
faced young woman, dressed In fresh but
not deep mourning, such as one might
wear for young chi d. At one of tie
stations another woman got on carving a
baby. Both were clearly but poorly
dressed, the baby particularly needing
warmer garments than It's gingham dress
for the sharp air of the day. 1t wore no
hat, little shaw pinned over its head
serving for hat and cloak as we'll
Tue pair were seated directly opposite
the lady 10 black, whose gaze was soon
riveted upon them. She watched the baby
as if she could not take her eyes from it,
and when shifting of passengers left a
vacant seat on the side of the mother. she
crossed and took it.
"What a bright baby" she said, lean
ing toward it, chow old is she?" with a
soft smile at the pleased mother
The woman told her.
"Ah,' said the first speaker, my baby
was a month older. But she was no larg
err" Then she bent down and smiled in
the baby's eyes, letting its little hand clasp
one of her gloved fingers. There is a
little coat and warm cap" she said speak
ing low and rapidly, will you give
me your address and let me send it to
you?''
The woman scarcely caught her mean
ing.
"Quick, please; l leave at the next sta
ton urged the other, still playing with
the baby.
Hesitatingly then, and hushing little,
an address was given. A low Thank
you" was the reply, and then the train
slowed up.
The involuntary listener and assistant
at the little scene saw the black.robed fig
ure pause a moment on the platform out
side and take up tablet attached to her
belt, evidently to write down the address.
As she did so, glimpse was had, too, of
silver cross and tiny knot of purple
ribbon, which showed in whose name the
dead baby's garments were offered. If this
is the spirit of all the Kings daughters,
what beautiful sisterhood it is!-N. Y.

Potato Raising

An inquirer asked for brief statement
OF the best mode of planting and raising
the potato crap, according to approved
course Of management, since so EIuch at
tentlon has been given to obtain large re-
turns. These results have been secured
by different appliances in various locali-
ties, and under differing influences and
unlike soils. But for pact c1l farm treat =
ment we would advise IN substance the
following course; select piece Of deep,
rich systematically So or which has teen
made so artidcially year before by barn
manure. If the soil has been distinctly
benefited By any of the commercial ferti-
hzers, apply these and mix thoroughly
before planting, and pulverize we'll.
Plough burrows three feet apart; cut the
potatoes to Two or three eyes each; drop
these. a foot apart; cover them four inches
deep; pass over the rows once week with
light or slant-tooth harrow, keeping the
ground perfectly clean till the plants are
half foot high, and after that with a
cultivator between the rows, keeping an
inch or two OF the surface in fine mellow
condition, not hilled or ridged but fiat
With this treatment we have raised oc-
casionally four hundred bushels to the
acre, and oftener from twp to three
hundred Country Gentleman.

Grating,

In splice grating the ends of stock and
scion are cut beveling and the fresh bcv-
eled surfaces placed together and held
there by grating wax and strips of cloth.
Whip grlfting is modification of splice
grating IN which notches are made in the
beveled surfaces to assist in keeping the
parts In place. In saddle grating the
scion is double cleft and the stock double
beveled SO that the scion sets down over
the stock like saddle.
In cleft grating the end of the stock is
split and the beveled scion inserted In the
cleft; and in side grating the bark near
the end of the stock is split and the scion
slipped into the opening after having the
bark removed from the part to be covered
by the bark of the stock. Grating may
be done any Etime during winter or
spring until the leaves have made some
considerable growth. Probably the best
time is just before growth starts in spring.
In all methods of grating, Lortlons Of
the bark and sap wood and of stock and
scion must come in contact with Zach 9TH
er, SO that the circulating sap will pass
freely from stock into scion.-Ex.

of experiments with oats conducted durino
1891 in regard to the rate of seeding'
depth OF sowing and comparison of varl.
cites. The trials were all made on the
fertile dark eolored prairie soil of the
station grounds. The season was unusual
ly favorable for oats.
The largest yield of grain was from
sowing SIS bushels per acre, with little
variation between the plats sown at rate
of rs. 3, 35 bushels Der acre. The
average yield for four years was slightly
larger when "a bushels were sowu, with
but little difference whether 2, IS, 3. 3. 5,
or bushels were sown.
In tests of A varieties on SIS plats the
average yield per acre was 96 bushels Of
grain, weighing 33.5 pounds per
bushel, and 2 $40 pounds Of straw.
Four varieties gave more than 80 bush
els. and but one less than so bushels per
acre
The white varieties gave the largest
average yield Of grain and the smallest
per cent. of kernel; the black stood second
In both respects.
No one variety has been shown to be

GLASS BRICK.
May be Made Practically Indestructible
for Building Purposes

For some time past transparent glass
bricks have been let into the walls to af-
ford light at places where window would
interfere with the architectural plan. But
now it is proposed to cast glass, not neces-
sarily transparent, into large blocks Of
buildings. This material is practically
indestructible, perfectly non absorbent
and, therefore, damp proof in a manner
which few bricks are, and in this way
coarse glass of this kind could be made
nearly as cheap as concrete, stone or bak-
ed clay. A plan has also been put into
practice by which broken glass of various
colors is mixed up, placed in moulds lined
with silica, tale or some other resisting
material and fred. The result is a firmly
coherent mass, which can be dressed and
cut into blocks, wricb are, Of course, ir-
regularly colored. and may be employed
in place of artificial marble If decorative
effects are desired, designs in relief
can be obtained by pressure while the
block or slab is still plastic Philadelphia

Salt for Animals .

Salt makes animals more lively, strong
and capable OF esisting disease. Their
flesh is harder, and the functions of the
organism are more regular. Their diges
ton is better, and they can exist on fodder
that otherwise might be injurious to
health. Moreover, with the assistance of
salt, they can extract more punishment
from given quantity of fodder, since the
flow of the digestive liquids is more cop
ious. Hence it is of special importance
With foods difficult to digest, since the
latter may readily produce disturbances in
the digestive process and be cause Of
sickness.

ABANDONS THE BILL

BERLIN, March 2o-The Iandtag has
not witnessed in many years such an
exciting scene as that of today, when
the new Prussian premier announced
that the primery education bill had
been abandoned. Won Gutenberg was
received on his first appearance as head
of the Prussian ministry with signs of
general respect. lie is man whose man
ner and appearance impress favorably,
and with the exception of the social
democrats the members of the landtag
have no prejudice against him person

first impression to-day seemed favora-
BILE. He announced in clear and un-
equivocal language that the govern
ment had decided to abandon the
school bill. The statement had an
electric effect. Everybody had ex-
pected that the educational bill would
be postponed indefinitely, but
the declaration that it had been
abandoned was almost universal sur
prise. The national liberals were de-
lighted; the ultramOntanes could not
conceal their anger. They had not
anticipated such a straight blow from
the government, and a storm of Kisses
greeted the premier's announcement.
The national liberals cheered loudly
and both parties got SO excited for a
time that it seemed as if some might be
provoked to personal violence. The
premier took everything calmly and
waited until the excitement had
quoted down. Then he proceeded with
other business. -az
