Scales are now made of such a nice ad-
justment that they will weigh anything,
to the smallest hair plucked from the
eyebrow. They are triumphs of mechan-
ism and are enclosed in glass cases, as
the slightest breath of air would impair
their records. The glass cases have
sliding door, and as soon as the weight
is placed in the balances the door slides
down. Two pieces of paper of equal
weight can be placed in the scales and
an autograph written in pencil on either
niece will cause the other side to ascend,
and the needle, which indicates the divis-
ion of weight, even to the ten-millionth

have counted as many as 32 fruit
stems on a hill from which the run

labor is required to get the patch in
condition for succeeding crops than by
any other system.
If ground is limited set the rows 80
inches apart and the plants 16h inches
apart in the row and cultivate one way.
This plan will require more hoeing,
but the yield per acre will be % per
CEN greater. Select varieties which
send out runners freely. Keep these

Now is the best time to hatch tur-

Make the conditions of termination

Tn making the most. out Of the pas

let sheep follow cattle, rather than to
keep all together. .
Push the early-hatched chickens and
market them while the prices are good.

Second-Take moderate exercise

Third-Avoid heavy meals, rich dish
es, strong tea OF coffee and alcoholic
drinks, especially toward night.
~Fourth-l1at only plain, well cooked

fresh fruit at dinner.
Fifth-Go to rest in good time, for

queIt cause of sleeplessness.
Sixth-Have no light in the bedroom,
which should be as quiet and dark as
possible.
Seventh-The bedroom must be we'll
ventilated. This can easily be done
by opening the top sash of the window
an inch or more, so as to allow the es-
cape of impure air, while fresh air en-
ters between the two glasses at the
center of the window. A light curtain
over the window will prevent all
draught to the sleeper.
Eighth-The clothing should be en-
tirely wooden: no heavy cotton overlid,
but an eiderdown quilt must be used,
and the warmth must be sufficient, but
on no account excessive, carefully reg
ulating the amount of blankets accord
ing to the temperature.
Ninth-NO heavy meal must be taken
within two hours of retiring, but a cup
of warm milk, soup or light f%arinace-
JUS food with milky should be drunk
the last thing before going to bed.

Seeding to Grass.

Seeding to grass a field that has been
in hoed crops Tor years, but which n
has no manure or fertilizer unless he
buys on credit: If he has use for the
fodder a crop of oats and peas, and
clover grown Herewith, for blowing
under in the fall, would be a good or
der to follow before seeding down. II
this plan is adopted we would advise
the use Of 500 pounds of bone and 200
pounds of muriate Of potash per acre
when the oats and peas are sown:
Sow IN bushels each Of oats and OF
peas as early as the ground can be
worked, plow the peas under and sow
the oats and Is pounds of common red
clover seed after blowing, and harrow
lightly. Unless the ground is quite
dry the clover should be pushed in. II
he has no use for fodder crops we
would advise that he plow under, 4
inches deep, III bushels per acre OF say
beans, sown broadcast at corn plant
ing time. If the soil is Of fair quality
this crop should give a good manuring
for seeding down by August Is. This
manuring alone ought to produce good
grass, although it would be improved
by the use of 200 pounds of murlate OF
potash and 800 pounds Of fine bone.
