KVAPOUATION OK MOlHTlTtK KltOM SOIL,
An important eonaidoration at this
season of the year ia to prevent, io far
rh poRRiblo, the evaporation of moisture
front the soil. Ouo means of doing thia
ia to frequently stir the surface. Au
ditor is shade for tho ground. Tho
last is best obtained by mulching—that
is, by covering the soil between the
rows and closely around the plants with
liny, straw, half-rotted have*, pine
straw, or any convenient vegetable
trash. Thia mulch should bo several
inches in thickness, and will not only
prevent the rapid evaporation of mois
ture and the rufloctod heat from the
ground, but also the close packing and
linking of tho soil, from the beating
rait k and the hot sunshine which gen
eral! v follows them. This mulching
should be done while the soil is still
moist. With heavy mulching tho Irish
potato crop may In* saved, and oan bo
dug as wanted.* fur into the summer,
and the earliest planted tomatoes ofteu
kept iu bearing nearly the whole
teasou. 1- may be apples] with profit
to nearly nil the crops, but especially
to those most liable to l*c injured bv
heat mul drought.
Tomatoes should lw» tied tip to stakes
or trallines and well mulched. Hmxl
may ho sown for a lato crop. Onionn
will lxi fit to pull from the middle to
tho laat of tho month. Take thorn tip
in a dry day and nproad thorn on a floor
in a dry, airy place. Have Irish pota
toe# by spreading thorn in a oool, dark
placo, aa need for n fall crop. Carofnllv
work your alrawberry beds to kill all
•da, and then mtiloh tho ground. If
i desire now plants, loave a space
botwoon tho rewa, vory lightly mulched,
in whioh tho rnmiora may tnko root.—

POTATO rot.
Francis Oort y Fait field writes, in tho
Scientific American, that a bland solu
tion of carbolic acid in common whnlo
kerosene is tbo soiontifln remedy
for tho rot. He says :
Tlio best way to use It would, I think,
bo to dip the potato, just bofore plant
ing, in tho solution, whioh f** very inex
pensive and vory easily obtains T
may add that, my experiment* convince
mo that eurbolio noid in this bland so
lution, in no way impairs the gcrminnl
activity nf the tuber; but by way of
oorlninty, let me recommend your
farmer readers to first try the experi
ment on a few hills this spring, and, tf
stiecersful, to adopt it as a remedy for
the blight.
Witiew to Hitt Biikfi*,—As a rule tho
best, time to buy ia in the late summer--
ns flock masters who have kept their
sheep through the wintor prefer to shear
them before selling. It is usually most
profitable to do so. After the first to
middle of August, the Iambs are ready
for wesning, and tho farmer knows
pretty well what the innronso of his
Mock is to be, and also what bin crops
of grain and grasses will allow him to
winter properly. Tho Henson's yield at
homo also affords tho buyer ii hotter
opportunity for gauging the number of
slock to suit the probable contents of
barn and granary. Ordinarily, where
one sollur of atom sheep oan be found
iu tho spring, ton oan be found in th
Into summer or fall.— National !Ai
Slock Journal.
Tntfl following remedy is given for
blight, in pear troon : To half a bushel
of lime add four pounds of sulphur,
slnko to the consistency of whitewash,
and, when it 1h applied, add to each
gallon of the wash half an ounce of dr
ool io neid. Apnly this to the deceased
part. Whore tlio bark is diseftjtod, re
move the outer portion boforo making
the application.
Tub American Agriculturist says tho
rich farmers are those who raise grass
and recta, nmko produce, stock, or but-
tornnd ohceae. and make manure enough
to raise occasionally big crops of grain.
Tho poor fitrmors are llmno who de
pend on corn and who*t alone
As newly set grape vines begin to
throw out shoots, alteud to them, and
allow only one to grow, and not half a

and that will bo strong and vigorous.

charcoal has been discovered to bo a
euro for burns. By laying a picoe of
cold charcoal upon a burn, tho pain
subsides immediately. By leaving tho
charcoal on one hour, tho wound is
healed, an has boon demonstrated on
several occasions. Tho remedy is
cheap and simple, and deserves a trial.
One wlto hat tried it communicates
the following item about curing sore
throat: Buy at any drug store ono
ounoo of oamphoratna oil and flvo cents’

ever nay soreness appears in the throat,
put the potash in a tumbler of water,
and with it gurgle tho throat thorough
ly; then rub the neck thoroughly
with tho ounphorated oil at night bo
foro going to bed, and also pin around
the throat a small strip of woolen flan

remedy.

and looks nearly us well ns paint:
"Take a tight, clean barrel, and slack
in it ono bushel of freshly burned lime
by covering it with hoiliug water. After
it is slacked add cold water enough to
bring it to consistency of cream or

known by the common nnmo of white

28 there suddenly arose un island near
tho mouth of the Mississippi river with
of about eight acres, to tho
height nf oight feet and more. This
occurred in a placo where the day before
unbroken surface of water,
without tho slightest indication of the
otifrenoo of such a phenomenon
Volcanic action, developing great force
deep in the earth, can alone explain the
origin of islands and continents, whose
rocks, iooso clay nnd sand, abound in
the remains of marine animals and
plants. The upheaval of arable land
from the sen tells the farmer where soils
cornea from, and the world of mud that
shows
graphical position t wo or thn o thousand
short time. Nothing in sta
tionary; certainly nothing in united
fields wliioh send plowed ground einngh
down the Father of Waters to nuke n
farm in one night. Tho affluents of the
Mississippi drain an area of over 1,100,-
000 square miles. If evi rv farmer who
contributed a few particles of dirt to
build up tliiB island, has an interest in
the estate, how many shareholduis are
there to the property ?
—A German chemist hns demonstrated
that tho udditioti of one drop of tho oil
of mustard to 308 grains of milk, will
keep it frou curdling for many weeks.
Statistics show that of tho thousands
who die annually, a large proportion
nro destroyed, not by old age, or by the
natural exhaustion of vitality, hut
through iutorui'oranco, or disregard
eithf r oa the part of the sufferer, or his
parents, of the Htmpleat laws of nature.
Such being the case— aud figure* cannot
ini*’Cjtre*rnt fact*—the couolusiou i»
that were tho onuses of intemperance,
its kindred vines, and a disregard of
uaturnl laws, retu »vod, the average
length of the human life-time would be
extended proportionately. What agent
most rapidly, harmlessly and certainly
will eradicate these vices, or the ten
dency to them, is the question whioh
ha* been us thoroughly aud persistently
agitated as has the search for tho Phil
osopher's stone. Tho discovery has
been made by Dr. Joseph Walker,
whose widely known Yiuegar Bitters are
Rceotunliahiug wonders whioh tho old
fogy doctors never xlrt*amod of. Try
thorn and judge for yourself, as tfcou-
sands are doing nil over the country.
