Mercury-Coated Ship Bottoms.
The proposal to sheathe ships with
copper coated with mercury is at
acting attention, saysthe New York
Tribune. The idea is that such an ar
rangement would effectually prevent
barnacles from adhering to the bot
{ tom ofvessels. In order to. keep The
mercury on and to prevent oxidation,
the copper would be constantly charg-
ed with electricity. This would bring
about another interesting possibility
Any gold or silver that might bein
the water would be precipitated on
the bottom OF the vessel, and it could
then be scraped off when the vessel
arrived in port. n.

Peach YellOws.

The growing of fruit is not at all
the easy thing to do that many sup
pose it to be. A writer for Practical
Farmer says that it is more the rule
to set out fruit trees, expecting them
to take care of themselves than it. is
to look for giving them any attention.
When insects and diseases come, as
come they will, it creates the impress
sion that the locality is bad one and
not that good fruit demands good care
everywhere. There is really no ex-
emptiOn anywhere from cares Of this
kind. If it is not one thing it is an
other. In France, England and bor-
dering countries there are pests as
there are here. So bad are wasps on
the peaches there that bottles of sweet
liquids have to be hung among the
peaches to catch them. Every fruit
has to be fought for. In this country.
in addition to the risks from short
crops, poor prices and such things, to
one who grows for profit, there is an
additional one of the trees becoming
attacked by the disease known as the
yellows. Concerning this disease
the writer referred to above says:
There is no mistaking this disease
when it comes, as the yellow foliage
announces it. at once. It's approach
may even be told the season previous
by the fruit ripening earlier than it
ought, a sure precursor of its advent.
There is, too, a lack of flavor in
the fruit. In some districts this is
the most formidable enemy the tree
has. Let alone, the tree dies in a
year or two. Whole orchards have
been swept away by this disease, as
it spreads from one tree to another
if not Interrupted. If mistake not
laws have been attempted, if not
passed, in some states to compel the
digging up and burning Of infected
trees. This; idea, however, has
caused considerable comment, as it is
asserted, and with considerable evi-
dence of its correctiveness, that the
| disease can be fought successfully
The mode. is to rely on cultivation.
pruning and the free use of potash,

Steam Power for the Farm.

Steam Power for the Farm.
No one need suspect the American
iCultivator Of any recreancy to our
,o1d-time favorite, the horse, when we
recognize, as all must do, that for
many things the horse used to be al
most entirely relied upon steam pow
Ter has in modern days takenits place.
In fact, we regard steam power and
|eloctric power, when it comes into
more general use, as rather the
friends of the horse, as they are I'M
idoubtedly friendly agencies for MAX
ing human life more easy, and there
fore more natural. Steam is doing
for the horse, as we'll as for man, hat
the horse has done for man. It has
become the drudge, patient, and, let
jus all be thankful, unfeeling The
Ipatient, feeling horse steps to a
higher plane. He becomes mans as
,sociate and friend as much as any
!four-footed animal can become.
There is such higher love of the
horse as is not at all brutalizing to
those who cherish it, but rather
WHOLLY ennobling. It is that kind
Iof horse love that we wish every
body to have, and the substitution
of steam or electric power to do
much of farm drudgery is one Of
its most evident means.
Whoever watches closely the con-
Istruction of any great mechanical
work must note as the most sur
prising fact the small part that
either human muscle or horse mus
Gle plays in the more laborious
parts. Both are necessary in places
where steam, or dynamite, or cleo
trio power cannot reach. But the
human muscle and the horse mus
Gle can be and are guarded from in
jury, as was impossible while the
great bulk of the hard drudgery
that always belongs to mechanical
construction is mainly thrown upon
them.
Is there not much suggestiveness
in these facts for farmers? Steam
has not so generally superseded the
horse or human muscle on the farm
as it has in the city. That, perhaps,
accounts for the fact that human life
has tended to the cities since steam
power was invented as it has never
done before. It is not always and
we trust not long to be thus. Coun-
try life has thousands of advantages
which will receive more full apprecia-
ton when it's few disadvantages are
removed, as they easily may be. The
Introduction of electricity as motor,
to which steam power may be easily
changed, gives the new power an
adaptedness to the many varied work
of the farm such as steam power
alone could not hope for. Yet who
that has seen steam power easily and
cheaply threshing the farmers grain
or cutting his silage does not feel
grateful that the horse creation is at
last relieved from the treadmill round
by which the necessary work used to
be done? An occasional painless
screech of the engine to blow off SUI
perauous steam sounded rather like
triumph than like pain, and the work
was done at far less expense every
way than it could have been by horse
power. Let us all rejoice if the
horses liberation from much of the
drudgery of which he has relieved
man, or has shared with him, seems
at last to be drawing near.
