r- — WEW SOUTH WALES. Tho Place Where Everything la Turned Topsy-Turvy. l The Longest _ Day December Comes in and the Sun Moves North. After a month’s residence in beautiful ■ Sydney the probabilities ol waking up -nre still shadowy and the .illusion of dreamland not yet dispelled, writes a correspondent of the Philadelphia Preu from New South Wales. While the nov- cl situation is pleasant all will l>o well, but the dream may turn to a nightmares eventually because of the topsy-turvy, upside-down ways of people and tilings at the antipodes. The people have not yet heard of the early bird and the unfortunate worm. They are fond of taking things easy in ,the morning, neither shopkeeper, market- lj man ’. housekeeper, nor servant liking to be disturbed too early, and so commence [ their daily routine when Philadelphians would have already accomplished a good¬ ly portion. 7. When we go shopping the drapers receive us politely, hityd us a chair and give one an impression that he has come to spend the day. When we go driv- ing we must remembeMHliat the left is the right of way or suflwHbr it. When we go by train or railway we must on no account neglect to buy onfficket before entering the train, else we wijl have to pay a heavy fine or go to jail. Then the sun, moon and stars cdmhinc to help along this sub-contrary relation of things for the 22d of December is the longest day. The sun moves north instead of south, Snaking it necessary for us to give our- selves a turn about sometimes before we can make clear the points of the compass, and even the man in the moon, instead of keeping his face upright, lies down on his back, thus bringing his profile on a horizontal line. But the strangest of all strange things is the midsummer Christmas. Think of a Christmas with the thermometer at 95 in the shade, all green things growing, with the flowers in abundance! How can it be Christmas without snow, ice, nipping cold and rud- dy fires? Never mind, we shall have a wintry Fourth of July, so then you can think of us with envy. Sidney is a very picturesque, wide- spreading city, built on many hills and has one of the finest harbors in the world. To enter it for the first time is like going unexpectedly into some enchanted scene of fairyland. It is shut in from the sea by two immense headlands, the north and south hends, between which is a wide passage. In and out of this open gateway to the high seas ships are constantly plying to and from the principal ports of the world. Outside the mighty ocean swells in heavy undulations, till the towering waves dash to pieces on these stony barriors. Inside all is peaceful serenity, a haven on whose rippling bosom nestle alike largo and small craft, mammoth dark oceau steam- ers, little white-winged yachts and “°'„r= lored b r whidi givc a lively look to the sunny bay. Close to the water’s edge and rising amphi-theatre-like around are elegant residences, showing wealth pretentious, and prosperi- ty, with hundreds less but all of tasteful architectural design and all speaking comfort and refinement. The streets of Sydney are very irregu¬ lar, except in some business localities, tbe different odd happening nooks and neighborhoods seeming all to have come by chance, and at every turn one is sur¬ prised by some new flue view of hand¬ some terrace, well-kept villa, distant ris¬ ing ground or indenting cove. From balconies which abound everywhere one looks down upon well-paved streets that are never defaced or obstructed by refuse receptacles or ash-carts, and but few market-wagons or venders of any kind, there being back ways for all such. Only in thc morning will one see or hear the only intruder, the fishmonger, with his basket of fish and peculiar cry of “Sho! sho!” which was originally “Fish, ho.” Otherwise the streets arc given up to, busses, lively cabs and men and boys of various pursuits on horse¬ back. The horses have plenty of go in them, if the people have not, for they gallop about at a break-neck pace after the fashion of John Gilpin’s mare, while men, women and childnn have to stand by. If one is not in the way it is jolly to see them go. Beverages and Digestion. Some experiments on a large butcher’s dog, with reference to the effects of sun¬ dry beverages on digestion, have been recently described by Signor Ogata. The following conclusions, which may not L>e strictly applicable to man accustomed to the drinks named, were reached: First, •water containing carbonic acid, tea and coffee in moderate amount, do not dis¬ turb digestion. Second, beer, wine and brandy retarded digestion considerably at first, till absorbed, and in the case of beer the extractive matters thus as well as the alcohol. Thus beer retards diges¬ tion more than wine containing the same quantity of alcohol. Third, sugar (canc and grape) retards digestion considera¬ bly. Fourth, common salt accelerates it distinctly. The Hog of Homlnras. While it would grieve me to offend the tnodest vanity of tho swine-breeders of the states, truth compels me to say that with all their efforts, and perfect as they fancy their Poland-Cbinns and B rh- shires, those gentlemen have not siicceefl¬ ed in producing anything resembling the hog of Honduras.

FOR TIIE FARM AM> HOME, Fond for Calves. Many farmers have suffered losses among their calves by putting them loo early upon a non-milk diet of an unsuit- a p] c nature. The stomach of a calf but a few weeks old is very tender and deli- | cate, and will not stand irritation such i as is produced by many feeding stuffs ^hat arc readily digested at a more ad* vanced age. It is necessary to remove fr0ln Ruch f ()0( l 8 pnrt iclcs of husk and fibre, and whatever may be tho matcH-ly used in the mixture, whether bean meal, pt . a mP al, w hcat, linseed, or a variety of others, it is important not merely to grind finely, but to carefully separate through a *ilk or fine cloth sieve all tides of husk. If these are not removed they arc, however finely ground,likely to cause serious irritation. The judicious use of gruel made from properly prepar¬ ed foods, at first in partial and finally in j total substitution for milk, from an early a g 0 , effects a considerable economy on a j ar „ c da ; r y f t trm. Hoivto (Irovr a <«oocl I’otato Crop. Edmund Ilersey, Bingham, Mass., who has had large experience, said at a meet- j iug of the Massachusetts State Board of ; Agriculture that he got the most, the largest and the best quality of potatoes from small tubers, cut two eyes to a piece. He believes: 1. The shape of a j potato cannot be changed by the contm- ucd selection of any particular form of the seed planted. 2. The crop may be increased by the selecting of healthy, ! well-kept tubers, and diminished by se- iecting fpir seed diseased and poorly kept potatoes. 3. Hard potatoes that have sprouted but little arc better for seed than those that arc soft, or have any long sprouts. 4. Long continued plant- ing of any variety gradually changes its characteristics. 5. Large crops are only obtained on rich soils, well prepared by being thoroughly pulverized. 6. In or- dinary field culture the size of the tubers planted should be sufficient to give the young plants a vigorous start. 7. Neither the size or form of the seed tuber is of half as much consequence as is its healthy condition or its vital powers, 8. No rule can be laid down in regard to the quantity of seed per acre, the amount of manure to be applied, or the particu- lar method of cultivation. 9. One or half a dozen experiments are not suffic- ent to establish any particular facts, and each one must experiment for himself on liis own farm, Tliree-Story flams. For ordinary farm uses where hay and grain arc the staple crops a one-story barn with a basement is the most desira¬ ble shape. And in the bay the open space should extend from the roof to the bottom of the basement. The entire weight of grain or hay will press down¬ ward, making tlic mass at the bottom | very solid. But for other uses more „ 0< " 1Hn IS . 0,tcn . 1 .... tslra eed 1 e ’ ’’ S rowL ' IS aad those who handle tobacco require a 8ac ®®’’ slon “ 1 with plenty of ven- Sr* ^1 °'“* ^ be difficulty b .s lLi m driving “ in “‘ ' accom- * J 6 on a 6idc hill and ! grading up.

These high buildings require only the ! same roofing as lower ones, and afford I better ventilation. But one great draw- 1 back to this form of building is danger from fire. In country places it is diffi¬ cult to throw streams of water to the tops of high buildings, and when a fire under such circumstances gets under headway it is nearly impossible to save anything. Even the basement barn is objected to by owners of valuable stock, for the cellar under a barn when the latter is in flames is a death trap, which no one who values his life dare enter._ Cultivator. Testing: Eggi. All eggs should be tested by some means. Eggs that are unfertile will be easily distinguished from the fertile ones in three or four days after setting; in fact an expert may detect them on the second day. In France it is the practice to examine or test the eggs after the hen lias been on them two days, and if they prove un¬ fertile they are used on the table. In hiis country almost every one feeds the young chicks boiled eggs the first two or three days of their existence, and for this purpose eggs that have been set on six or eight days are equally as valuable as fresh ones. Now for a cheap tester, take a heavy piece of brown paper, wrap it around a stick, paste it fast all along, draw the stick out and you have one that will dis¬ tinguish between fertile and unfertile eggs when set upon five or six days. To use the tester, we have but to hold it to the eye and hold an egg to the other end of it, looking through the egg to¬ ward the sun or a lamp. Every stage of incubation may be noted in this way, and the egg saved by this process and used as food for chicks will abundantly pay for all the trouble. A still more valuable consideration is the fact that when a half dozen hens are set at once, the fertile eggs may bo put into a less number of nests and other fresh eggs may be placed under the hens rendered idle by the removal of the unfertile eggs and the consolidation of the fertile ones.— Journal of Agriculture.

Strong support to the stack system of ensilage has been given by the committee appointed by the Royal Agricultural 80 - ciety to inspect the silos and stacks of the tne rountrv countrj as as judges indtr in ’ rh the competition - for prizes recently awarded. Prof. Long, one of the members, in giving evidence the other day before the ensilage com- mission, stated that lie and hi* colleague* were very favorably impressed with tho stacks they saw. IIo further remarked that ♦ w where the stack system was , sue- ccssmlly earned out, tho loss on the out- sides was very small, and not more than the average loss in silos The committee e.am.mtt.lou cyho prize UM to- longing to Mr. Johnson, of 0<ik\*oou Croft, near Darlington, at only 2 per cent. Tho concluding sittings of the ensilage commission did not bring b to ...... light much else of importance, . unless , it was the evidence of several witnesses as to the valuo of maize as an ensilage crop, and the best method of cultivating it in ♦tito this country. Sir c- John T ■ Dawes T , appears to be as skeptical as ever in respect of thc advantages of ensilage, though he is almost alone among those who have tried «-**-. »■*-**'.'*-» pcnence, has come to quite a contrary opinion, having been convinced that there are very great advantages to be de- rived • from ensilage, one of which , is . the 5 growing of two fodder crops, such as tares and maize, for the silo or the stack, in the same season.

In farming, as well as in dairying or grazing, everything depends on the con¬ dition of the soil. Here is a foundation, and unless this is in proper condition the superstructure is bound to fall. A great deal has been said and written as to the proper depth to plough, and there is such a difference of opinion held ara0 ng farmers in regard to it that the question is still as far from being settled as ever. We think, however, that the leading cause for such difference of opin- i on may be found in the difference in the land itself. That good crops are and can be grown on shallow-ploughed land that is good, no one will deny, provided the season bo neither too wet nor too dry; season! i. e., with moderate rains the whole In such a season anyone can grow good crops. But such seasons are rare, and, in fact, every season is likely to be at- tended 1 . , with ... either ... a , long drought , , or a long wet spell. Now what the farmer wants is to guard against both, and the -J 7 - * “i - ^ r as deeply as possible, say not less than from seven to ten inches. But how is thistomend the matter? We answer, very v y easily easily, In in case case of 01 a a heavv ncavy rain rain, a a large portion of the water, instead of running off, will be absorbed by the deeply disintegrated land, where it is held as if bv / a stiom/o ^ 8 for the of f th*. th plants, t and if f a drought a u should-inter- i ,, vene, there is a supply of water just where the plants want it, and when ex- hausted, its place is at once supplied 1 * by • capillary attraction from , , below. . It will thus be seen that by deep ploughing the farmer provides against drought by hav- ing a supply of water in reserve or a place ready to receive and hold it when- ever ever it it comes comes, The rhe better better to to insure insure this, this however, as well as to facilitate the es- cape of too much water, it is better to use a sub-soil plough and an additional t«n, runntng th, _ tamrfi.tel, after the breaking plough, and tlic ping up the sub-soil the desired depth. This need not be done for every crop raised on the land, but only once in every three or four years. It has been well said that it is better to have two acres of good land, one on top of the other, than as many acres alongside of each other, as it costs only j , half , - as much , to . tend . , them. The way to do this is by deep ploughing, and thus double the depth of the soil, as well as the crops grown thereon .—Tribune and Farmer. Household Hint..
