TOPICS FOR THE FARM.
The Hot Bed.—To sprout sweet pota¬
toes, a temperature of 90 to 1<K)degrees
is necessary.
Tobacco Prospect.—It is given out in
the tobacco regions that the plant of this
year will nearly double that of last.

which the farmer ha* to deal is of
greater tbe importance the world over than
potato.
Bng Remedy.—A correspondent of an
K.astern paper writes; “ Laat season I
kept the striped bugs from my cu¬
cumbers by saturating ashes with kero¬
sene and applying a handful on a hill.
Xew Seedling Apple.—California has
a Belleflower new seedling apple apiiearance” - resembling the
in outside but
with a flesh of beautiful rose-pink
striped with yellow. It is of fair size
and pleasantly tart.
Irrigated Lind.—Colorado baa 100,
000 acres under irrigation, and 60,000
more rigated. of hay land, much of which is ir¬
In 1879 the irrigated land pro¬
duced $3,150 000 worth of cereals and
other products.
Covering Meed.—Experience will sat¬
isfy any one, that driil seeding is far is
better than broadcast sowing; there
and a saving of is seed, every good seed grows
none wasted, and the plants hav¬
ing a better root, are hardier and more
vigorous.
laiwus.—One of the essentials of
beauty is a well kept lawn. Nothing
can compensate for or take th* place of
smooth green grass. Without it the
grounds ished will always have a base unfin¬
appearance. With it they will
always la? attractive.
cult Poultry Vermin.—It is a very diffi
from matter to keep a log hen-house free
vermin, as the vermin get into the
cracks and notches that are in the logs,
under the loose bark ami .nch 1 laces,
and it is almost impossible to fill such
place* with whitewash.
Tobacco Mould.—I). W. Whitman, of
Hart County, says he prevented his to
baeoo from moulding by spreading a
t hick covering of dry straw over the barn
floor. The str iw is as good an absorbent
as the tobacco, and will take up no much
of ti e moisture as to save the crop.—

Vigorous Life,—A strong plant digests
its food totter than a weak one, and its
appetite, so to sfieak, is more vigorous,
preciiwly as is that of a strong, healtuy
young aiumal. It is with the plant as
with the animal; early feeding, and
vigor of growth, bring early and vigor¬

millions of soldiers iu Europe, who are
non-producers, and millions expensive con

may be stated as an agricultural truth
that those people who generally make
garden the most are those who never own
their own tools. Just buy a spading

will find it out ,—Flmiia Advertiser.
No Fear of a Surplus.—The world’s
markets are at our feet. The fear that
we posed may of, produce more than «an be dis¬
is a bug-bear and a phantom.
It has been conclusively shown, that at a
certain price, we can control all the Eu¬
ropean markets, and that this price,
while it |mys us fairly, is too small fora
profit to the European farmers, who have
t* pay large rents, heavy taxes, employ
expensive labor, and use costly fertili¬
zers.
Our Need.—The present necessity is
proportionate larger crops at the same cost, or a less
cost, than our present
small ones. This result can only to se
cured by additional fertilizing. The
present average of our crops is not more
than one-fourth of that which the soil is
capable three-fourths of producing, and this extra
msy be produced without
any more labor by the use of fertilizers
or additional manures; ’ but fertilizers

The Cnrions Influence of Electric Light
Upon Vegetation.
'Isoa4on Times. J
At a meeting the Royal Society, Dr.
C. W. Siemens, F. R. H., gave a detailed
description the above of some experiments upon
ducted subject, last which have been con
the two months at his house
at Bherwood, and exhibited specimens,
the method pursued was to plant quick
growing seeds and plants, such as mus
tard, carrots, swedes, beans, cucumbers
and melon., in pot*, and these pot* were
divided in four groups, one of which
exposed was kept to entirely the influence in the dark, of the one electric was
lght only, one to the, influence of day
light only and one to day-light and
electric light in succession. The electric
liifht was applied forMx hours each even
ing trom fi to 11-—and the plants were
fi n .eft in darkness during the re
malnder of the night. Ihe general re
suit was that the plants kept entirely in
he dark soon died; those exposed to
electric light only or to daylight only
throve ajioutequany; and those exposed
to both day and electric light throve far
better than either, the speciminsof
mustard and of carrot* exhibited to the
societv remarkable showing this difference in a very
way.
Dr Siemens only consider* himself aa
yet on the threshold of the inveaiiga
tun, but thinks the experiment already
made are sufficient to justify Ihe follow
ing conclusion: hirst, that electric
light is efficacious in producing a chlo
ropfayl in the leaves of plants, an i in
promoting growth. Second, that an
electric center of light equal to 1,400
candies placed at a distance of two
meters from growing plants ap
peared to be equal in effect to
average but daylight at this f-easop of the
year ; that more econimical effects
can be obtained by more powerful
centers. Third that the carbonic acifl
and nitrogenous compounds generated
in diminutive quantities in the electric
effects arc produce no sensible deleterious
upon Fourth, plants inclosed in the same
space. that plants do not ap¬
pear the twenty-four to require a hours period of rest during
of the day, but
make increased and vigorous progress if
subjected light, during the daytime to sun¬
and during the night to electric
light. Fifth, that the radiation of heat
from powerful electric arcs can be made
available to counteract theeflectof night
frost, arid is likely to promote tbe set¬
tling and ripening of fruit in the open
air. Sixth, that while under the in¬
fluence of electric light plants can sus¬
tain increased stove heat without col¬
forcing lapsing, by a circumstance favorable to
electric light. .Seventh, that
tht- expense of electro-horticulture de¬
cal pends mainly and upon the cost of mechani¬
energy, is very moderate where
natural* sources of such energy, such as
waterfalls, can be made available.
Before concluding his observations,
tulips Dr. .Siemens full placed brightness a pot of budding elec”
in the of an
trie lamp in the meeting room, and in
about forty minutes the buds had ex¬
panded into full bloom.

The Big Pay of French Cooks.
The French cooks, meaning the chefs
in this city, says the New York Timet,
are said to occupy a very enviable posi
tion, and to have a most exalted opinion
of themselves. They represent art, in j
their own judgment, as much as painters,
sculptors, poets, or composers do, and I
have a pride in their vocation which
they are fond of discussing, explaining
and French glorifying. A number of so-called
cooks are Swiss and Italian, and
the members of the “profewnion” have
increased of late, particularly within a
year. The high salaries attainable here
tempt chefs even from Paris, which they
regard which as tbe center of the universe, and
would induce nothing but prospective riches
them to surrender. They
do not earn there one quarter what thev
earn here. In Paris 5,000 or 6,000
franc* a year la considered a handsome
recompense; but in Xew York, they
the are paid munificently, far more so than
majority of salesmen, accountants,
journalists, clergymen. physicians, literatteurs, «r
Their salaries range from
$2,._>00 to $o,000 and $6,000. Many pri
vat* houses as well as leading clubs and
hotels, have chefs of the cordon blou
order. Ihe Lotos Club pays its chefs,
says York a ( correspondent, lub, $4,000; the $3,000; Union the league, New
$4,500; the Manhattan, $4,700; the
Union, 16,060; the Knickerbocker,
$5,500. Among the hotels, the Brevoort
pays $4,000; the Buckingham, $4,000;
the Clarendon, $4,500; the Metropoli
tan, $4,500; the Astor, $4,200; the Bt.
Nicholas, $4,000; the h ifth Avenue. $5,
000; the Bristol, $4,300; the West
minster, $4,4^0: Delmonico, Broadway
and Twenty-sixth street, $4,000. Thete
figures must be exaggerated; but there
is no doubt that the pay of French
cooks is disproportionately large.
Rapid (.rowth of the West.
Says the Yankton Press: The move¬
ment of population from East to West
shows no indication of abatement^ but
rather swells in volume as the years go
by. Kansas has grown 100,600 to
1,000,(KI0. in less than twenty years, is
still receiving large accessions, while
beyond flowiag it the tide plains of immigration of Colorado is
across the
and climbing Nebraska its agentiferous moun¬
tains. free lands have been
in great part absorbed, but it is daily wiil
growing in number at a rate that
soon place it side by side with its
southern sister. And Dakota, where
five years since the organized counties
would number less than twenty settle¬
ments were few and far between, is now
ihe home of 150,000 people and is aug¬
menting its population with great
should rapidity. If the signs of the times
double not fail, our territo.y will nearly
its numerical strength during
tbe present year, and civil zation will
have penetrated its most remote corner.
The end of the free land policy of our
generous far government its practical is drawing benefits rapidly
near, so as are
concerned, and within five years, at
least, should there be no abatement in
emption immigration, agricultural lands for pre¬
and the grand beacon of the
mighty West will lose its luster and at¬
traction. Still there will be room lor
millions more, and in the light of the
past we can safely feel that the room
will be occupied.
A Warning to Belles.
A young lady, one of Baltimore's
society belles, living on Dolphin street,
near Boltin, made a painful and terrible
mistake, bhe was about retiring to
rest, and had turned out the gas. She
had been using glycerine for chapped
lips, and, recollecting that she had neg¬
lected to use it, she went to the wall
down pocket, what where she she kept it, and took

however, there was a bottle of about
the same size on the shelf containing
nitric acid, which her mother had been
using for some purpose, and it was this
that the unfortunate young lady got
hold of. She did not discover her mis¬
take until she had applied the dangerous
fluid to her lips with a piece of flannel,
and even then for a few minutes she at¬
tributed the burning sensation to the
effect of the glycerine upon her chapped
lips. In a very short time, however,
the intense pain taught her that she had
made some mistake, and she commenced
to shriek loudly for assistance. Her
mother running in, realized what was
the matter, and, with wonderful pres¬
ence of mini, she snatched up a large
sponge, filled it with water, and delug¬
ing the young lady’s mouth and face
with it, at least stayed the progress of
the acid. Medical aid was then sum¬
moned, and everything possible was
done to alleviate her sufferings. The

from slumber by the piercing shrieks of
one of the children, and rushing hastily
to their room the sight that met her
gaze seen in a wilderness would have
frozen her blood, but in the midst of a
civilized hotel life it only called forth a
hearty laugh. There stood the great
black, bear-like dog with his forepaws
on the bed, licking tbe hands of the
screaming child, while he wagged wholly his
tail in perfect good humor, un¬
conscious of the fact that to her excited
imagination he had been playing the
role of the wolf in the story book, and
had already more than half devoured
our Little Red Ridinghood by his great
big eyes, mouth and ears.
