A Roman Dinner.

A Roman dinner ut the house of a
wealthy man consisted chiefly Of three
courses. All sorts Of stimulants to the
appetite were first served up. and eggs
were indispensable to the first course.
Among the various dishes we may in

ingale and the thrush as birds most in
repute The Roman gormands he'd
peacocks in great estimation, especially
their tongues. Macrobius states that
they were first eaten by Hortensius,

that single peacock was sold for 5u
denarii, the denarius being equal TO
about eightpence halfpenny of English
money.-Chambers' Journal.

Of the lower soils are released and
utilized. A reservoir for the storage Of
water is created, and a good home for
the roots is produced. Good roots
are essential to good plants. Men
who look below the surface realize
these facts. They know also that a
plant produces only in proportion to
the extent Of air, water and nourish-
ment given its roots. Thus is the new
err method of vertical farming both
logical and profitable.
This method Of farming vertically is
in itself easy, simple and labor saving.
A half cartridge charge OF farm pow
der placed well down into the tight
shbsoil at intervals OF about a rod,
tamped properly and fired carefully
will do the work quickly and econom-
ically. Subsoil blasting, however. can
be done successfully only when the
subsoil is dry.
Few tools are required for the work.
