ELECTRICITY FOR VEGETATION.

1t has long been known that the cleo
tricity in the atmospher plays an import
ant part in the stimulation of vegetable
growth, but hitherto no practical use has
been made of this knowledge. The re-
suits recently obtained by some French
scientists who have been experimenting
with the effect of electricity on plants
indicate that most valuable aid to
agriculture has been discovered. A
plant deprived of atmospheric electricity
by covering it with network of fine
steel wires soon withers away and dies;
if artifcially stimulated by an electric
current it blooms with far more vigor
than in normal condition. With these
data to work upon the experimenters
moistened seeds with water and then
subjected them to the influence of an
electric current. The seeds thus treated
grew with far more vigor and came to
maturity sooner than those not go treat
ed. They even succeeded in making
date stones terminate, which is a very
unusual thing in France. Peas, beans
and maize grow with astonishing swift
ness when treated with the powerful cur
rent of Ruhmkorff coil, and the yield
was greater than ordinary. Experiments
with batteries we're not 80 successful
when the current was passed through
the earth, because of the difference in
the resistance of the soil in various
places to the passage of the current.
The resulting crop was uneven in char
acter. according as one particular Sec
ton received more or less of the electric
current. With the powerful electrical
machines much more satisfactory results
we're obtained. Strawberries in particu-
lar we're ripened in a remarkably short
time. Electrical machines are far too
expensive, however, for farmer to use,
and though all right in theory they are
too costly in practice. - Neao York

USELESS BOARDING.

The temptation to hoard is not con-
fined to that class of beings picturesque
ly described as misers; it assails women
at every turn of their lives, and in Ger
tain directions finds easy victims among
men. Who does not know the emotion
with which during periods devoted to
house cleaning, when store-rooms, attics
and top shelves render up their hidden
treasures, we discover garments laid
aside, old boxes. parcels carefully tied in
prehistoric era. bundles of papers and
pamphlets yellow and dust-grimed, let
ters written by people who have passed
of years which belong to the category of
articles too good to be destroyed, yet of
no good to any one on earth? The ia.
miliar and well-worn proverb. keep a
thing for seven years and you will find
use for it," is responsible for much of
our stupid boarding; for the lumber and
rubbish which cumber our shelves afford
admirable lurking places for germs of
disease and a nucleus for dirt and cob
webs, the plain fact being that we carry
far too much luggage on the road of life
and would be much better off were we
to travel lightly burdened.
The housekeeper who wishes peace Of
mind will do we'll each year to reduce
her stock of garments left over for con-
tingencies, which may never arise, to the

THE COOLEST PLACE ON EARTH.

The word Arctic" has been very
much in evidence during the cold
weather of the last few weeks, and per-
haps there are those who imagine that
it could hardly be colder at the North
Pole than it has been in England lately.
To them the following facts and figures
may be interesting. The coolest in
habited spot on earth is the little town
of Werchojansk, in Siberia, which is
situated Ct degree "a minutes N. lati-
tude, 1873 degrees, 81 minutes E. longi-
tude. The lowest temperature observed
there is-90.4 degrees F. The average
temperature for January is-63.4 degrees
F.; February sos degrees F.; March
1874 degrees F.; April, 80 degrees F.;
May. 80 degrees F.; June 80 degrees F.;
July 57.2 degrees F.; August. 42.s de-
grees F.; September, 1874 degrees F.;
October degrees F.; November-40
degrees F.; December So degrees F.
The terrible cold which prevails in
Eastern Siberia is, fortunately, not ac-
companied by wind, for otherwise no
human being could exist there. The
minimum temperature at Jakutsk is
1916 degrees F., and at Ustjansk- 632
degrees F., and during the whole month
of January the Thermometer never
reaches the height of Ia degrees F. The
winters are extraordinary dry in this
region.
The lowness of temperature is due to
the fact that Eastern Siberia is not in
fluenced by oceanic depressions, and
very high atmospheric pressure. with
calm, clear weather and dry atmos-
phere, prevails In this way the warm
air currents are aided in their escape,
while the high mountain ranges in the
south and east tend to imprison the
masses of cold air.
Hendenstorm and Wrangell have pub
lished very remarkable reports on the
effect of the cold upon the living organ
ism in Siberia. If the temperature sinks
to 40 degrees F., every breath that is
drawn causes pain in the chest and
lungs. Old tree trunks burst with the
frost; rocks are shattered with noise
like thunder; and deep chasms form in
the ground, from which streams of
water rush steaming. only to be turned
into ice the next moment.-W Westminster

DAIRY.

The Jersey COW probably owes her do
cility to the fact that in the island from
whence she came to us she has been I'M
der the care and training of the wives
and daughters of the household, thus de-
veloping quiet, trusting disposition.
Our average hired help is not so consid-
crate of his charges, unfortunately.
Nervousness and viciousness are en-
gendered in the i'll -treated COW, and are
transmitted to her offspring. The more
docile the COW the more are her energies
likely to be devoted to the dairyman's
interests. We can not be too watchful
over irresponsible help. who hesitate not
to beat, hurry nor brighten the COWS.
II. as a beginner, your dairy is not of
the best, buy at once thoroughbred
bull of the kind you esteem best and
you can not do better than to get
Guernsey. Your heifer calves will be
great improvement upon their mothers,
and in few years herd can be OBJ
tanned as good for practical purposes as
thoroughbreds.
1t will pay the dairyman of smaller
, degree to put up his butter in his most
attractive way, and sell it by making
visitations from house to house. making
for himself regular class of customers.
Neither the grocer nor the commission
house will pay him encouraging prices.
In addition to corn meal, a COW needs
some OF the more heterogeneous SUBJ
stances in her feed. A combination of
corn meal, gluten and cotton seed meal
gives much better results than corn
meal alone. 1t will make, by expert
ment. one-third more in the quantity
