A MOoted Question.

Why some seals sink and are lost
after being shot aud others foat, is q
mooled question not likely soon to bs
decided. Wnere they are struck OF
whether they have much or little blub-
ber, all Of which have been urged to &C.
count for the anomaly, seems to hau
little or no influence. It has been often
observed that seal falling head dowr
on being shot will come up and foat
while if the head is up he sinks aud II
lost. 1t may be that in the latter case
he more readily fills. With weak seal
or pups it has been seen that they, too
are often not recovered. or those that
are killed, discarding pups, the chance,
seem to be about equal as to whether
they will sink or float. Sometimes ,
considerable interval elapses before tn,
dead body rises to the surface and hast,
or carelessness may loose it. The greal
damage to the sealing industry lies uu.

TranSNiriliOn In YInnts.

The knowledge Of Transportation 10
plants is still very defective. 1t has re.
Gently been ascertalned that the transpi
rational activity is most vigorous in the
early stages Of flower, while it still
possesses soft tissues only, that trans
plration diminshes with growth, and
that there is very little Transportation az.
ter the bud is half grown. Later on
when the flower opens, there is again a,
increase in Transportation, and this in
crease is continuous until the death O
the flower. The flower early reaches tn,
end OF its term of existence-about tn,
time Of opening; from that time forwart
decay in all the tissues commences, and
the water in the cells is In a less stapl,
state of combination. Indeed, from
that time forward the term Transportation
might almost be changed for cvapora
tion. A flower, therefore, really fade,
more from the drying out of moistur,
than from any act of vital power, whicl
we understand by the term Transportation
To sum up, Transportation is very activ,
in the young bud, increasing gradually
until it ceases to swell, thea again be
coming active, reaching its greatest &C.
tivity just as it is about to opeu. From
that time forward Transportation is prac
tically evaporation, and continues in full
activity until the whole flower dries up

PURsLANE LOVERS.

The purslane weed is of some use, If
it is nuisance of the farm. The hogs
are especially fond of it, and as it is
good for them there is no reason why the
weed should not be given to them. All
farmers are more or less acquainted with
the weed aud know full well how it
thrives. When they are killing the
weeds, and il it can be done without
danger to crops, let the hogs have the
run of the field. Then watch and see
what perfect picnic the porkers will
have.
; If it is not possible to give the pigs
the run of the fields gather all the weeds
possible and throw it to them. We
know Of farmer who makes it a prac.
tice to 90 every morning and pull good
amount of the weeds for tho pigs. He
claims that in the morning is the best
time to give them this food, aud say,
they enjoy it more. But we think the
time of day to give the pigs the weeds
is immaterial, and the best time is when
you think you have enough weeds COL

On..Eyed People

The most one.eyed people are fount
in Germany, and In some portions Of the
United States. In the former country
this is probably owing to tho sword,
duels 50 common among German stu
dents when the faces Of the combatant
get terribly SCARED. In the United
States, which contains the rough ele-
ments from almost every other country
qualrelling is frequent, and the gougipi
out of an opponents eye Is too commoI
an incident amongst the brutal portion
OF the population to attract much notica
when it occurs. An eye maker calculate,
that there are 336, 900 persons with only
one eye in the Republic. In proportio'
to the population, there are more one
eyed people in Paterson, N. T., than il
any other town in America or any Other
country. Apart from eyes lost IN duel
or rowdy fights, the great majority o
artificial eyes are used by workmen, es

THE LAND OF LONG AGO.

Sometimes, when thrushes sing, or sweet
bells chime
Far OF and faint across the silent sea,
Or south winds watts the breath OF sunny
cline,
Or ring doves COO their love by babbling
rills,
Or the fair priestess Of the dawn, star
eyed,
Trails her white robe above the eastern
hills;
Down dim way where stately lilies blow
I see the land-the Land OF Long Ago.
Then memory beckons, and with trembling
feet
I tread the ways where life was once So
sweet;
See this dear face, that sleeps where mar,
bles shine,
And that-but oceans 'twixt us roll their
brine.
Dear ones. will you not come to mo once
more
And smile and kiss me as in days of yorey'
'Ah, foolish heart. when will you learn TO
None e'er return from the dead Long
Ago."
"But give me back my joy, the dreams Of
youth,
Hopes rosy visions, or the lamp OF Truth;
Roll back Times record from the dial
plate
And snatch a trophy from the grasp Of
Fate"
Again gazed with wildly streaming eyes
On the dread angel that so much denies
Again the still voice breathei DER fields OF
snow.
These are the treasures Of the Long Ago."
Alas, that land. that Land of Long Ago;
No resurrection shines above its snow;
Memory may enter, bat a flaming sword
For6ids with menance stern Hopes tender
word.
The Past is gone-ttc Now we grasp full
fond,
and the To Be looks darkly from beyond
And still the years roll ON with ceaseless
flow
INTO the silence OF the Long Ago
Oh, Land of Long Ago!

wINTERlNa FRUIT WOOD.


! Grapes can be grown even in the coolest
sections, il the vines are laid down on
the soil in November, 50 as to be COW
cred with snow, aud this is an easy mat
ter with their plant stems.
! Professor Budd says that peach trees
have been fruited in Iowa by using the
same preservative means. Their stiff,
branchy nature i'll adapts them to lying
down, but this difficulty, as explained in
the Rural New Yorker, is overcome by
reducing the young tree to single bare
stem after one years growth. This stem
is bent fat to the ground late in the fall !:
the roots being bent or cut to make ii
practicable. About five feet of the stem
remain permanently horizontal and the
point grows upward and is allowed to
branch; but chiefly in line with the pros.
trate stem, and is staked to hold it erect.
In the next fall the top is easily bent
down to one side or the other and held
fiat by billets of wood.
The Antwerp sorts Of raspberry can bf
fruited with similar care to let only three
or four canes grew in a hill in summe,
and to weight these down for the win.
ter. 1t is best not to cover any of such
laid down shoots with earth as, If mild
weather occurs before April, the fruit
buds may swell and rot. A difficulty ID
the case of the beach tree is it's tendency
to making rank growth late in summer,
which cannot rIpen well. The bending
and training indicated above are likely
to check this over production of sof
wood and to induce more Towering bud,
and shoots. 49, -

EXPERIMENTS WITH OATS.

Experiments have been made at the
Illinois station on rate aud depth OF
seeding, aud tests of varieties of oats.
All were made on the fertile dark -colorei
soil Of the station grounds. Welcome
oats were sown on seven plats, each one
by sixteen rods, at tho rate Of from QUE
to four bushels per acre. The yields OF
botn grain and straw for each of the four
years the experiment has been In pro.
gress and the averages of the four years
ARE tabulated for each rate of see1ing.
! The largest yield OF grain in 1891 was
from sowing three and one.half bushels
per acre with little variation bet ween the
plats sown at the rate Of two, two and
one half, three, three and one-half and
four bushels per acre. The avera 20 yields
for four years were much the same as thu
above. One or one and half bushels
gave smaller average yields than any OF
the heavier seedlings. The weight OF
the grain per bu,lel was less in the case
of the light seeding.
AS to depth Of covering the indica-
tions were that the returns were slightly
better from covering two inches deep,
though In trials for four years the best
results have not come from covering the
same depth in any two years.
The average yield per acre In tests of
forty. -four varieties on 6fty-fve plats in
1880 and 1891 was sc. 6 bushels of grain,
weighing 1875 pounds per bushel, and
2S4O pounds ofstraw.

SALT MAKES MORE MILK.

1t is being reported as something new
that the giving of salt to COWS has the
effect Of increasing the yield Of milk.
There is nothing new in this except to
those persons VINO are beginners lh tne
business Of keeping cows, or who do not
read a paper in which any information
on this subject is regularly given. It is
very simple matter. Milk is made only
from the food that is digested. If the
Eood is not digested, not only is there
loss of material of which milk may be
made, but the cow does not feel we'll.
Both these are conducive to decrease
of the milk. But when COW is regu-
larly supplied with salt, not only is she
satisfied with this qualification of her
tastes and inclinations, but the digestion
Of the food is perfect, aud the result is
that the milk yield Is up to the highest
point. The digestive fluid consists in
part of hydrochloric acid, of which salt
Is partly made up, and thus this iudis.
pensable agent Of digestion is supplied
to the cows. Salt is thus as much food
as sugar, which goes so largely to main
tain the vital heat and support life, and
it should be given to all animals that do
not live wholly on animal food. and in
proportion to the amount of vegetable
food they consume. The staple supply
qotermined up on by experts is two
ounces for co W, one ounce for horse,
dram for beep per day, and small
quantity as in tervals of few days for
swine aud poultry. The quantity given
to COW Is for the reason that she gives
milk which contains salt, and thus needs
more than horse, but a mare that is
nursing foal should have an increased
allowance, although this is rarely thought
of.-American Dairyman.

KEEP RECORD OF NEwLy.sET TREES.
1t is not good policy to trust wholly to
memory or labels for the record of newly
set trees. In setting a new orchard or
filling in an old one, or setting various
kinds of trees about the house, make
record of it in book kept for the pur-
pose and placed where it will be acces.
sible at all times. The same applies to
small fruits. This record will not only
be an aid to the one who plants them,
but to those who may take mis- place.
Also note the date of planting, and how
old they were when set. Some trees
and vines need to be trimmed aud man
aged differently from others, to obtain
the best results, and to know just where
they are located is good thing. Plants
and shrubbery with long, difficult names
should also be recorded in tho book,
with both the common and botanical
name. Record the season of bloom; and
II any special care or cultivation is
recommended, write it out, or, what is
better, paste in the printed directions
with your notes.-American Agricul-
turist.
