stroyed. The same results attend the use of
Quassia liquor; this also checks their pro
gress so long as the application can be made
without contaminating the fruit.
Flaming torches carried between the rows
in the vineyard after dusk, at the same time
shaking the vines, "will cause tho insects to
fly towards the light, and thus many will bo
consumed, but this applies only to those of
them in the winged state : the young wing
loss brood adhere to tho leaves and are not
harmed, and the insects are most destructive
while in their wingless condition.
A remedy which has been found quite
effectual in glass graperies is to mulch the
whole surface of the floor with tobacco stems,
the refuse of cigar manufactories. This has
completely routed the insects where all
other efforts to dislodge them for years has
been futile. Whether this can be made
equally eflicient in the out-door vineuard
remains to be seen. Wc have no doubt of
the efficiency of the application, but its cost
might militate against its practicability on
a large scale. Experiments should, how
ever, be made by those who suffer heavy
losses from thrips, and it may probably be
found that a few tobacco leaves sprinkled
around the stems of the plants will be all
that is necessary.

ExPERnrENTS vitii Potatoes. Dr.
Sturlevaut,-the Director of the New York
Agricultural Station, in a recent address,
indicated the nature of some of the experi
ments he has in progress by the following
in relation to the potato : 4
"Take a.potaio, peclit heavily, and plant
the peeled potato in dry soil. Tho .shoots
will grow. This shows that the potalo'shcots
penetrate further within the potato than we
have generally believed. Now plant potato
peelings. We observe that the plant is
feeble in early growth, and late in formation
of tubers. Xow plant large flat pieces of
potato. We observe a good early growth,
and a moderate formation of tubers. Now
plant single eye3 cut deeply. We observe
that these form vigorous plants, and early
and prolific tuber formation. Planlr now
potato shoots laid in the row ; Ave observe
very early iormation of potato, and prolific
acy, with moderate leaf growth. What do
these facts indicate? This: that the depth
of the cutting of the eye has more influence
on the crop than the size of the seed. In
like manner, as we investigate the potato
crop, we see marked indications that single
eyes, cut deeply, are superior for seed in
every respect to pieces of potato or whole
potatoes. That the deeper tho cut the bet
ter and earlier the crop, and that hence large
potatoes, if preferable for seed, probably de
rive their advantage from the eyes being
deeper than are the eyes from small pota
toes, for long sprouts give us earlier potato
formation than short sprouts, and the eyes
have certain analogical, resemblance to the
shoots which, they originate."
this wild-growing vine. It may prove a
highly useful addition to the vines cultivated
in France. The vine is tuberous-rooted. It
loses its leaves, aud its stalk dies every ymr,
and each year new one3 spring from the
tubers. One vino may yield 100 kilo
grammes of grapes. This it will not d as
a general rule, but I have seen vines wh'cli
bore that quantity. This vine grows Li
every section of Cochin-China, and conlx I
think, bo cultivated in -France." This is
too good to be realized, we fear.
Preserving Apples Gen. J. H. Shields,
of Los Angeles, sends us apples of the Peir
niain and other varieties sound as 6u :he
day they left the tree in 1S31, and proniis-ng
to remain sound for many days, probacy
till the first of July. They were kept in
oarreis in a tunnel. Buckets of water w )re
poured into the barrels every week or
two for some mouths after the apples w sta
gathered. The watering was discontinued
some two months since, as the apples "beieg
nearly all marketed the remnant was no
longer an object of solicitude.- The wrier
flowed down through the apples and Jilt
through auger-holes in the bottoms of !hc
barrels. The apples sent are of a neglec-fcl
and almost forgotten remnant, keeping icto
summer, and may properly be called chae
survivors. Faeijic Sural Press.

HOUSEHOLD TiINTS.
The Horse-chestnut Tree. This fteo
is a native of Greece. It is a large, &onc
what compact-growing free, and is mr:h
cultivated for its ornamental flowers and
foliage. When growing in moisu, loamy
soil, the foliage is of a deep jnreen coljr,
which it retains until late in tho season;
in warm, dry climates, or when growing ii. a
dry gravel or sandy soil, it becomes brovu
during summer, and tho leaves fade prema
turely ; or rather, the early maturity of t e
young shoots hastens the deciduous condi
tion. Tho yearly longitudinal growth of
the young shoots is completed in a few
weeks after the expansion of tho buds, in
spring. Tho flowers are very conspicnous
while their beauty lasts, and their wllU-o
cones, in contrast with the deep green leaves,
produce a beautiful combination not ex
celled by any tree of temperate climates.
The nuts of the tree contain about twenty
per cent, of starch, and various attempts
have been made to utilize

DEATH ON THE TURN OF DAY,
I heard a lady say to a physician the
other day : " I -was watching one night at
tl.e bedside of a dying child. I asked the
doctor when death might be looked for. He
replied: 'any time after 12 o'clock.' Why
did he set that time?" "Because," replied
the physician, " for some unexplained
reason a large majority of natural deaths,
especially vrhen the patients are children,
occur on 'the turn of day,' as the country
people say. That is, from 12 to 3, either at
noon or night." "There is no explainable
reason for this?" I asked. "None. It is
one of the mysteries that envelop death.
But of 100 persons dying by natural process,
eighty will die within three hours." Atlan

Classification of Soil. Prof. Johnston
classifies soils, according to their clayey or
sandy proportions, thus:
First. Pure clay, from which no sand can
be washed. Py(T(f
Second. Strong clayjor brick .day, which
contains from five to' twenty per. can of
saud.
Third. Clay loam, which contains from
twenty to forty pes cent, of saud. , ' .
Fourth. Loam, which has from forty
to seventy per cent, of sand.
Fifth. Sandy doam, wbVh has from sev
enty to ninety per cent, of sand.
Sixth. Light sand, which has less than
ten per cent, of clay.
Sandy soils, then, are those which consist
mainly of grains of sand, or silica or flint,
aud is railed a silicious soil. lTature never
bestowed upon man a soil of greater capa
bility of being made lastingly fertile than
the sandy, hght soil of New England.
Gravelly soils need no desaription, though
there are rich gravels and poor gravels,
depending upon tho rock3 of which they
are composed, and the substances which are
mixed among them. Clay soils coneiat
I largely of alumina; that its, having such an
I abandonee of clay that it i called the "clay
metal." Clay iteelf is a compound" of silica
(sead), acid, alumina, and water. It also
containe poUeA, aodt and lime. It forma a
compact, mtty eaitfa, wrt to the Umcli, sticky
in a moist atate and very hard whim dry.
Chalky mil have been farmed from rock
in which limo was abundant.
Peaty il need no dufcoription, although
they differ very widely.
Alluvial soi! are formed by deposits of
&, loam, and gravel brought down by
rivers. They are often very rich, being
composed of a multitude of thin layers of
mud, in which nil sort of fertilising mate
rial is mixed. Loamy soils contain a large
portion of decayed matter, humus or muck,
as it is called. Woody fibre in a state of
decay acquires a dark lor, aud ultimately
becomes mould. Loam contains a variety
of ingredients, as clay, sand, lime, iu addi
tion to humus. It is a loose, friable de
scription of soil, e;isy to cultivate, and :is to
texture is the most desirable description of
land for purposes of tillage.
Which makes them unfit for hnmnn ftinfc.
This bitterness is removed by simply wash
ing the flour mado from the uuts tvif.lt
water. A paste mado from the flour is used
by bookbinders and pasteboard manufac
turers, its bitterness saving it from the
attacks of insects. The bitter principle
is called csculin. In some parts of Europe
the nuts form a portion of the food given.fo
horses and other animals; water in which'
they are boiled is used for bleaching homj.
flax, and other fabrics. I

ANECDOTE OF WEBSTER,
In Horatio Alger's popular life of Daniel
Webster there is a new and clever story of
that statesman. He was very fond of shoot
ing. One day he had gone to Chalsea beach
to shoot wild fowl. While lying among the
tall grass he watched from his concealment
tho flocks of birds as they flew over the
beach and adjacent waters. A flock ap
peared flying quite low, and he lowered the
muzzle of his gun below the horizontal
range to bring the birds before his eye. He
.met., iiuu lUHumuy mere -was a loud, cry
from the beach below. In alarm Mr. Web
ster rushed down the bank, and descried a
stranger rubbing his face and shoulder rue
fully. Tho sportsman himself was not
looking his best. His raiment was disor
dered and his faco was begrimed with
powder. "My dear sir," he inquired
anxiously, "did I hit you?" The man
auswered resentfully, " Yes, you did hit me;
and from your looks, I should think that I
am not the first man you have shot, either."
