more rain the lower parts of the city
would inevitably be inundated. Even a
partial inundation would damage the city
to the extent of millions of dollars. Two
centuries ago an inundation caused a loss
there of $40,000,000.
FARM NOTES,
Every „ farmer . should , ,, put . in , a few , acres
of sweet corn for early feeding. This
will mature and f>e ready to cut up just
at the time when pastures are short and
milch cows need feeding. Those who
have tried it, think it far better than hay.
Hogs fed on corn alone can scarcely be
altogether healthy. When farmers come
to properly realize, if they ever do, that
a mixed diet is necessary to health, the
country may perhaps bid a long farewell
to hog cholera and its attendant evils.
In buying fruit trees with which to
plant a young orchard, it is cheapest to
buy t lie best ; and buy young trees and
not too lar_ e ones, 8uch trees are not
so much injured by transplanting, and
grow and do better than older and larger
trees,
To make butter for long keeping, a
slightly acid milk is required, Excel
lent as the creamery system is for getting
the most butter and cream from a certain
quantity of milk, it gets it too suddenly
for long-keeping butter. Keeping cream
one or two days after gathering, in a
moderately cool temperature, and then
churning is a remedy for this defect.
It is often of the greatest importance
to a crop that the cultivation should be
done at a certain stage of growth or con
dition of soil; for example, on heavy
clay lands a drenching rain forms a crust,
which should be broken as soon as possi
hie after the land is dry enough to work,

A Dog’s Scent.
At a meeting of the English Linnaen of
Society a paper was read on “The Sense
Smell in Dogs.” in which some experi
ments with a setter dog were detailed,
which showed, for one thing, that while
a very small part of the surface of a boot
is sufficient to make a trail which the
animal can trace, the scent is not able to
penetrate a single layer of brown paper.
It was found, too, that the setter w r as
ready to be guided by inference as well
as by perception, and that the act of in¬
ference was instantaneous. The
iments also showed that not only the
but the whole body of a man exhales a
peculiar or individual odor which a dog
can recognize as that of his master amid
a crowd of people, and that the individ¬
ual quality of this odor can be recognized
at great distances to windward,or in calm
weather, in any direction.

1883. Curiously enough, Rameses II
was a conqueror of the very people who
committed the recent massacre at Dogali.
