AN AGRICULTURAL AND CHEMICAL
GLOSSARY.
BRONCHIA.
The windpipe passes down the front part
of the neck into the chest, and there it
separates into two parts or branches.—
Those are called the “bronchia.” They
pass to the lungs one on the right and the
other on the left. Many small branches
run from these to every part of the lungs
and terminate in small air cells. (We omit
ted this in the B. column.)
CASEINE.
This is the curd produced from milk
when it becomes sour, and the butter or
oily particles are removed from it. Some
press the clabber to obtain curd, which,
with a little cream and sugar makes a
pleasant article of diet. Cheese is made of
the caseine. Caseinc is also found in some
plants of the starch group. This is called
vegetable caseine.
CELLULAR TISSUE.
This is applied to the minute cells found
in plants and refers mainly to the inner
parts. The pithy parts, such as the pith
of elder, is an illustration of the cellular
tissue.
CELLULOSE.
This is another name for vegetable fibre.
It is the solid parts of plants, wood, Ac.
The name applies also to the outer coating
of grain—the bran; also to the shells of
nuts and the outer coating of the stones of
fruit, such as the peach, cherry, Ac. The
fibre of plants which makes paper, Ac., is
cellulose. Its purest form is in the fibre
of cotton, and goods made of llax.
CHARCOAL.
A description of tliis is found under the
head of carbon already described.
CHEMICAL TREATMENT OF SOILS.
All soils require a great many In
gredients sucli as ammonia, potassa,
soda, lime, various acids, Ac. What is
meant by the chemical treatment of soils,
is simply the artificial application of such
ingredients as are lacking, or the addition
of more when the quantity in the soil is in
sufficient. The application of any kind of
manure, barnyard, guanos, turning in of
green crops, all come under the head of the
chemical treatmontof soils.
CHEMISTRY.
Campbell defines it thus: Chemistry is
the branch of science which treats, 1st, of
the history and properties of elementary
substances, 2nd of the formation and
properties of compounds, 3rd of the laws
which regulate the action of affinity.—
Many learned men have defined it different
ly, but the sum and substance of all their
views is that it comprehends the whole or
the substances that compose the globe,
minerals, vegetables Ac., their properties,
compounds and constituent elements, and
the effects upon them of light, heat, elec
tricity, atmospheric influence, acids, alka
lies, Ac. Jt is a science that lias been chief
ly developed in the l!»th century and lias
L>een of importance in the arts, in medicine
and agriculture.
CHLORINE.
This is a gas of a green color obtained
from black oxide of manganes exposed to
a gentle heat. It is one of the elements in
common salt, which is “chloride of so
dium.” Muriatic acid is made from a com
bination of chlorine and hydrogen and is
of great value in the preparation of man
ures. It is found in many plants and soils.
CHLOROPHYLL.
This is tin 1 name given to tiie green col
oring matter of leaves, and indeed, to all
the green parts of plants. As plants which
receive no light are not green, chlorophyll
cannot be generated without light. It con
tains nitrogen, as well as carbon and oxy
gen, and its value seems to bo self-evident.
CHYLE.
This is a term applied to a certain condi
tion of the fc« >d after it is taken into the
stomach. It is described as having a milky
appearance. This becomes converted into
blood to nourish tire system.
CHYME.
This is a term applied to the food before
it is converted into chyle. In this condi
tion it is a gray semi-tluid mass.
CIRCULATION.
This refers chiefly to the movement of
the blood through the system, the sap in
trees, and plants, the air, and water in soils.
CLASSIFICATION OF SOILS.
They are sandy loam, clay loam, clay
chiefly, calcareous soil, and peaty. These
will be treated of under the head of soils.
CLOUDS.
These are condensations of vapor and
consists of mists, fogs and heavy masses
higher up in the sky.
COLON.
The term applied to the large part of the
intestines near the bottom of the abdomen.
COMPOST.
Applied to heaps of various substances
sucli as pea;, muck, deeavedstraw, ratings
of barn yards, stables. Ac., and to ferment
and decay for manuring fields or gardens.
CONDUCTION OF HEAT.
This is the use of bodies which rapidly
convey heat, as exposed to bodies which
convey it slowly. Metals are good conduc
tors. Most liquids and' dry wood, glass
and charcoal, are non-conductors.
CONGLOMERATES.
This term is applied to small rocks, little
pebbles ami sand mixed and generally ce
mented together.
COPPER.
This is at/plied to an abundant and useful
metal of a brown color inclining to red. It
is very important to keep vessels made of
it very clean, as vinegar and sour fruits
boiled in tltetnare apt to be poisonous from
the fonnatiODof acetate of copper, or “ver-
digres,” as it is usuully calk'd.
COPPERAS.
The copperas of the shops is also called
the “sulphate of iron,” which it is. Anoth
er name for it Is “green vitriol," It la ex
tensively used in making ink and dyeing
black colors and in making agricultural fer
tilizers.
COROLLA OF FLOWERS.
The circle, of leaves, forming the beauti
ful Inner coating of the flower, is the co
rolla. •
COTYLEDON.
The outer coating of seed with the albu
men or starchy parts, form what is called
the cotyledon, or seed-lobe.
CREAM OF TARTAR.
This is the name given to a mixture of
potassa with an acid.
CRETACEOUS FORMATION.
This is the name of the green sand so
valuable as a fertilizer. It takes its name
from areta— chalk; in which the green sand
is found in some countries.
CUTICLE.
This is the thin outer skin. The true
skin or cutic vera lies next to the flesh. The
cuticle may be removed without pain.
DECIDIOUS LEAVES.
This is the name given to loaves when
they die and fall at the close of summer.
DEW.
The dew falls when the air is cooled down
until the vapor which it contains begins to
be deposited as little particles of moisture.
These particles cover grass and plants and
are called “dew.”
DEXTRINE.
This is made by subjecting starch water
to a little heat. The fluid undergoes a
slight change and is called “dextrine.”
DIAMOND.
The diamond is the purest form of car
bon, and is the most valuable of all the
minerals. They are found in some por
tions of the East Indies, in the Island of
Borneo, and in Brazil, South America. We
referred to it in our notice of carbon.
DIAPHRAGM.
This is a muscle between the thorax and
the abdomen extending across the body
and attached to the interlining of the ribs.
DICOTYLEDONOUS PLANTS.
These are plants, sucli as the bean, whose
seed have two lobes. The name is taken
from their having the two lobes.
DILUVIUM.
This is the drift carried down by rivers,
creeks, and lodged on the level lands near
their banks.
DUODENUM.
The duodenum are the small intestines in
to which the food first passes from the
stomach.
DURAMEN OR BED WOOD.
This is the firm, hard and compact wood
of the tree as distinguished from the soft
or sap-wood.
ELECTRICITY.
(Electricitas: from electrum or elko to
draw—because of its magneetic power.) A
property which certain bodies possess,
when rubbed, heated, or otherwise excited
whereby they attract remote bodies, and
frequently emit sparks or streams of light.
Electricity exists in all nature. Its power
is wonderfully exhibited in a terrific thun
der storm. It is seen in the fierce light
ning and hoard in the deafening thunder.
It would be inconsistent with our work to
describe its characteristics, its wonderful
uses, Ac. These must be found elsewhere
than in a brief glossary.
ELEMENTARY SUBSTANCES.
These are separate or distinct substances
existing without combination with others.
EMBRYO OF SEEDS.
When a seed is planted and germination
takes place, tho embryo is formed. It con
sists of two parts, one to form a root, and
the other to ascend to make the stalk, or
plant.
epsom salts.
This is the sulphate of magnesia. It is a
medicine largely used throughout the world.
equivalents.
These are elementary substances com
bined so as to form com pounds. The quan
tities, or weights, must be in exact propor
tions, or the combination cannot be effect
ed. These proper weights, or quantities,
are called the combining equivalents. A
certain amount of salt put in water, is the
equivalent of the water, and the “water is
the equivalent of the salt, when in the com
bination, no more salt could be taken up in
that quantity of water without leaving a
residiuum of salt.
feldspar.
This mineral is a double silicate of potas
sa and alumina. We referred to silica un
der the head “Acid-Silic,” also alumina, un
der the head “Alumina.”
FERTILIZERS.
This term applies to any substance which
will enrich land and make it more produc
tive. They consist of two classes, “organ
ic manures,” and “mineral manures.” The
organic includes all vegetable and animal
substances which possess fertilizing pro
pel tics, tht: mineral; all substances found
in the earth, or obtained from water, or
burnt vegetable and animal substances.
Gypsum, cornmon salt, ashes, bone, earth,
lime, Ac., are mineral manures. Decayed
straw and leaves, indeed, all substances
which produce humus, come under the
head of “organic manures,” but they are
oftcu termed “humiferous,” and of them,
such as produce much ammonia, are
often called “amrnoniferous” manures. The
term “humiterous” is strictly applied to
vegetable fertilizing matter; that of “am-
moniferous,” almost entirely to animal
matter which produces ammonia. Under
their appropriate heads this will bo found
a very interesting as well as useful part of
our glossary.
To Make ice Cream with Ifisw Milk.—
To each quart of now milk allow
eggs and two coffee-cups of sugar,
the milk almost to boiling, beat the
ot the eggs well, add the sugar aud stir
well. Pour the hot milk to this little
little, beating all the while. Put In the
frothed whites and return to the Are, boil
ing in a \ e6sel set inside one of h4| wptei^
Stir the mixture steadily until ft is About*
as thick as boiled custard. [When it is quite
cold add flavoring to suit the taste and
freeze as usual.
ASHES AS A MANURE.
Ashes for corn, cotton, roots and grains,
are becoming more appreciated every year.
An excess of ashes would be injurious but
excess is not likely to occur in fertilizing
crops extensively for the good reason that
they are not procurable in excessive quan
tities. Light soils do not require more than
10 to 15 bushels sown broadcast. If the
ashes are leached 20 to 30 bushels may be
applied to the acre. Potatoes, peas, corn,
beans all the grain, and grasses, are bene-
fitted by them. They are excellent to sweet
en meadows and impart vigor to the grass.
Like lime and the strong guanoes, they tend
to exhaust soils that lack vegetable fibre;
hence, their application for several ypars
on what are termede clean lands, is injuri
ous, but no harm but great benefit will re
sult if such lands are charged with humus
every three or four years, by plowing in
clever, peas or some other green crops.—
Plowing in the grass upon a field in the tali
will be of great benefit. If desired it may
first be cropped, (not too close,) before iicing
turned in. No mistake can ever be com
mitted in sowing them on meadows and
pasture lands. Hence eve:y pound of ash
es should be saved upon every farm to en
rich crops or pasture lands.
THE RASPBERRY.
The usual mode of propagating the rasp
berry,” says the Farmers World, “is from
the shoots or canes called “suckers,” which
are produced from the collar and spreading
roots of the plant. A crop of these spring
up every year. Better plants and many
more of them may lie produced, however,
by taking up the roots, cutting them into
small pieces, say an inch long, and plant
ing them in taxis of good, rich, light earth,
with a little bottom heat and a glazed sash
over them until they have made a good
start. They may then be transplanted to
the open borders. In this way fine plants
are made in a single season much better
than tho ordinary suckers from old plants.
The stem of the raspberry is biennial—that
is, the canes are produced one season and
bear fruit the next and then die. The prun
ing is very simple. It consists mainly in
cutting away early in the spring the old
cane that has borne. Some cultivators do
this as soon ns the fruit is gathered, but on
the whole it is probably safetio leave it to
finish its natural course and oat it away at
the spring or winter priming.
We have obtained large. quantities of
plants by drawing out the long canes upon
the ground fastening them down with forks
and putting earth upon them a foot apart.
This can be done after the fruit has ripened
and been gathered. The young plants
spring up and the following spring can be
set out where they are wanted. We prefer
that to any other plan we ever tried.
Soiling.—If it so happens that any one is
so situated as to depend upon soiling milch
cows during the summer, have three or four
patches of sowed corn, planted at intervals
of three weeks. The different sowings will
come in regular order for use. Begin to
cut at the first appearance of blooms*
To Make Sherry Cobleb.—Arrange In
layers in the bottom of a quart pitcher sev
eral slices of pineapple, a lemon and an
orange each, sliced thin. Betwemx each
kind of fruit sprinkle a little sugar and
pounded ice. Cover all with the same and
allow it to stand about five minutes . v, ^?heil
add two tumblers of water and some sugar,
not using more than half a cup of sugar in
nil. Fill the pitcher with pounded ice and
turn in a tumbler of sherry wine and mk
thoroughly. In serving put some of the
fruit in each glass.

To Prevent Paints From Sticking.—
The clothes sometimes adhere to chairs af
ter having been painted and varnished for
a week or more. This will always occur if
tho paint and varnish are not or a proper

added to the paint, and more turpentine to

one cup of milk, three cups of flour, with
two lieaping teaspoonfuls of baking powder

•finely and mix the egg and sugar; put it
on the fire and cook till it boils, stirring con
stantly to prevent burning. When cold

cake.
To Protect Strawberry Plants—The
time for covering strawberries is just be
fore the ground begins to be affected by
frost, as considerable harm may be done
to small plants by slightly freezing, es
pecially in moist ground or that recently
worked. In beds properly prepared in well-
drained lands there may be no necessity
for protection from frost by covering with
any material, tho soil living sufficiently
fight and dry to remain without-bearing or
throwing the plant above its original posi
tion or out of the ground entirely. But
this will not answer in clay soils, which re
quire a good hover in order to protect them
thoroughly. All things considered* it ia.the
safe plan to cover, as even in pnftius soils
plants are liable to beinjuredby cold weath
er.

W. Southworth, of Bergen, New Jersey
writes to tho Farmers World:—“I am the
only one in this part of the State that I

SWEET CORN FOR FODDER.
Some experimentalists s*y, that fodder
OOt n made of the sweet kinds is much bet
tor for stock, aud especially, for milch cows,
than that grown from tho ordinary field
kinds. In our section it would cost a good
deal to get such seed, as it takes from a
bushel and a half to two bushels to sow an
acre. It would be well then, another sea
son, to plant a quarter of an acre or more
in the sugar corn, Stowels, Evergreen, and
other sweet Rinds, to get a plenty of corn
cheaply, for sowing for fodder corn.

ITEMS FROM THE FARMERS WORLD.
Yellows in Peaches.—“I see no way to
get rid of the yellows except by the axe ami
and fire. If make no differences where the
trees come from, will take the disease just
just the same as if they were raised. Those
brought from Europe have died just the
same as any others at St. Joe.’’—A. <S'. Dyek-
mnn. Mich.
Oxen or Horses.—“Three good horses
will do more ploughing than two yoke of.
oxen, or one yoke of oxen, and a span of
horses before them. I became convinced
twenty-five years a ago Hint I could keep
colts with less feed than steers.”—./. C. Al
lin, IVenter), X. T.
W. M., Burton’s Creek, Vx.—“Ohii
give a remedy for my pear trees, which in
the spring about blossoming time sho'
leaves spotted as if with itk? Tljei
have a scorched aDd unhealthy
ance.” The disease is blight, and the usual
remedy is cutting away the blight parts
into tiie sound wood, though no infallible
remedy lias yet been discovered. Some
fruit, growers contend that as long as t|ie
roots of the t rees are kept hi a healthy 6<»-
dition the blight will not appear, and ad
vocate mulching with coarse manure or
other litter to protect the roots from thq
injurious effect of heat and drought in sum
mer and cold in winter.
MANURING CORN LAND.
We see it stated in some of the agricul
tural papers that many farmers, in some
sections, are in the habitof scattering some
kind of fertilizer between the corn rows
just before the last plowing. They say it
helps the earing of all the corn, makes ears
where there would be hone, aud increases
tho quantity of tiie fodder. Some use a
mixture of poultry manure, ashes and plas
ter. Any kind of manure we doubt not
would be useful, a little guano, decompos
ed stable manure, or rotted cotton seed.
We think tiie policy a good one.

A New Medical Theory.—Minnesota
man writes to tiie Salem (Mass.) Gazette as
follows: “A discovery in the treatment of
diptlieria lias been made hero. A young
man, whose arm had been amputated, was !
attacked with diptlieria before healing took J
place; and instead of tiie matter incident
to that disease being deposited in tho j
throat, tiie greater portion appeared on tiie I
WoflRded arih, and the diptheria was very i
light and easily managed. Ilis doctor
profitted by this; and in his next case of
diptheria “blistered ids patient’s chest, and
on his blistered part the chief deposits ap
peared. This was also an easy case of the
disease. The theory of the doctor is that
diptheria usually appears in the threat, bo-
caiiseof the thinness of tho linings of tiie
throat. Hence when the blister breaks the
skin upon any other part of the body, the
disease appears there.”

HAY.
A writer for the Ai/rieiilturint says: Re
cent investigations threaten to upset some
popular notions. It has long been suppos
ed that early cut hay is more valuable than
that cut later. If tiie judgmeut if the cows
were a test, there would be no question
about it. They will leave t lie riper liay,
amt even refuse to cat it at all, if they can
procure that which has been cut earlier. In
the writer’s dairy, the milk falls off more
than 10 per cent, when tiie young hay is
cluuiged, for that cut t wo weeks later. Tiiis
i6 sufficient to support the gent iai opinion
in spite of chemical analyses, which go to
show that ripe hay is heavier, more bulky,
and contains more, nutritious substance,
than that cut earlier. Perhaps the opera
tions of the chemist can extract more nu
triment from ripe hay than can the cow’s
stomach;but as young.hay feeds more pro
fitably, itseems best to cut early.

THEORIES ABOUT THE COTTON WORM.
Professor Riley, who had ehargfe of the
cotton-worm investigation while entomaio.

Washington, and who is pursuing the same
inquiry on behalf of the United States En
tomologist Commission, made known ills
views on the hibernation iiimI migration. ol

destined to become very popular bota for
the excellence of the roots aud tiie delight
ful greens made from their tops. All kinds
of cabbage plants may be set out this
month, (September.) Col lards grow all
through tiie winter, and some varieties of
cabbage will bead in the winter in tiiis cli

Onions, shallots and garlic, may be set out

A FEARFUL DISEASE.
Special dispatch to The Constitution.
Yorkyille, Ga., September 7.—For tho
fiast month there has been a fearful disease
raging in Polk, Paulding and Haralson
counties. The physicians are baffled, and
the people are dying with unusual rapidity
in this famously healthy section. I have
asked several physicians what tiiis disease
is, and they all say they do not know. One
hing is certain, it is fearfully fatal, and
seems to continue to spread. One very
strange circumstance is that it attacks
young men alone. But one old man has
vet died. Over fifty young men in the full
{flush of manhood and strength have fallen
victims to the terrible disease. It appears
to be a sort of epidemic tvphoid fever but
lias several symptoms different from those
of regular typhoid fever. As I write Clarke
White is being buried and I saw his corpse.
He suffered terribly, and just before he died
tho blood oozed out of his mouth and ears.
His tongue turned very black and swelled
terribly. The disease is fearfully fatal. I
know one prominent physician who had
twenty-nine cases and not one recovered,
though all received tiie most careful treat
ment. The people here are justly terrified
at the ravages of this fearful malady. God
knows what it is, but it is causing sorrow
in many a household and spreading fear
throughout the neighborhood from which I
I '.write. Physicians hope that tiie approach
ing ctx>l weather will check it.

Regarding the migrating -pogwij'Mf tlfe
moth, the Professor believes there is abun
dant and satisfactory evidence. In sum
ming up present knowledge bearing on the
subject he thought it safe Ut caachwie
that the insect does not hibernate in the
chrysalis state. The evidence would also
seem to militate against the possibility of
hibernation even in tho moth state, yet
there are so many well-attested cases of
the moth being seen flying during mild
weather that the questionccaRfi*6 flg ^y
means be considered as settled.
Coming to tiie subject of where the pareut
moth hibernates, Professor Riley stated the
ed the opinion that the moth rarely sur-
wintor except in the more southern por
tions of the cotton belt, as on ttiHsoaisIakuia
of Georgia and in partsof Florida and Tex
as, and that it is from this more southern/t/CIoyei, S< ed
portion that it spreads each year. This | piax s!^d^
year, tiiis liolief, which the professor frank
ly acknowledges lacks full confirmation,
does not preclude the ocoasidhafcoming of
the moth from foreign or mbr& tropical
countries, though the fact is established that
it could not have come from the Bahamas
since 1866.
Professor Riley naturally attaches much
importance to all evidence in support of
the theory of the iusect’s ability to survive
the winter in the States, as, if this is really
proven to be the case, much work of a pre-
