A correspondent of the Rural N ew Yorker writes as followszâ€"Crude petro~ leum is a wonderful preservative of wood, but it‘is in no sense a paint, and should have no pigment whatever mixed with it. Ithas none of the dryi properties of linseed oil, and will navel-linden upon a surface. On the contrary, it will pene- trate where water mnnot, filling the pores of wood and completely excluding wet. There is nothing equal to it as a first a - plicatiou to buildings or fences, espec' y when roughand weather-beaten. I have so applied it, leaving it a few weeks to the action of the air and hot sun, then covering with lead and linseed oil. The wood-work of my farming tools is kept fulliof it. Applied hot to waggon felloes from time to time, the tires will never loosen. For years I have used it in a multitude of ways, and a barrel of light crude petroleum i should not like to be without.

Don’t grease your harness with it, and don't use it to kindle your tires. Regular Feeding. Irregularities as to the amount of rs- tions for morning, noon, and night, will citcn serve to check all improvement, or even to induce loss of condition. In working horses this becomes especially manifest; those that are fed unequally, or at hop-hazard, consuming often an exces- sive amount of fodder, yet failing in con- dition, becoming languid, and easily fa- tigucd in harness, and the subject of fre- quent attacks of colic and indigestion. In many such instances the remedy is to change the feeder; when upon a smaller ration, even, but in the hands of a care- ful, observant, and punctual man, the same horses will speedily recuperate, gain flesh, and perform their daily tasks with increasing energy. In other stock the effects may be less manifest, but they are no less real; and all the difference between the success of some stock-owners, and the failure of others, may be traced, in many cases, to this one subject of more or less care in the feeding, so as to aduptitto tho wants of the individual boxcar-National Lire Stock Journal. There are Lots of Them. The farmer who is hardest to convince of his errors is the one who possesses a single instance within his own experience with which to combat our arguments. If you maintain that crseys are good butter cows, he once know one that could not make a pound of butter. If you hold that roots are good for dairy cows, he once know one to get checked to death on them}. His one swallow always makes a summer, and he forgets that though ex- perience isngood teacher, it should be the experience of many who have tried several ways, rather than the experience of one, that always creates but a limited knowledge. The Good Book tells us not to be over wise in our own judgment. This should especially be the case in mat- ters pertaining to farming, where every man's experience is so varied in different seasons.

Onion seeds and babbago plants should now be set out doors. Coal ashes in limited applications will make the soil light and loose. Lettuce can be set outdoors and seed sown for succession in hotbeds and cold fairies; Suspends, a valuable fertiliser for all formsof vegetation, is especially service- able for small fruits. Tho essentials to success in onion cul- turn are plenty of manure, thorough fit- tingof the ground, good seed and clean cultivation.

Celery seed requires from two to three weeks in sprouting. in setting cabbages, cauliflowers, toma- toes and other plants in gardens where there may be cut‘worms, wind a small strip of paper around the plant so that it will be about one inch below the surface and two inches above. This issaid by an old farmer to be a sure preventive. Beans, carrots, celery, corns, onions, s inach, may be relied upon for two to tiiree years; beets, lettuce, turnips, to~ mamas, for three to four years; peas, rad- ish, mbbage, for four to six years; cucum- bers, melons, squashes, and similar seeds will germinate after ten years, and more. To ensure a stand from asparagus seed, said the seed with hot water and soak for twenty hours, then mix in a box with moist earth. Inabout ten days or two weeks they will begin to sprout, when you can sow in the open ground. It is very difficult to get a stand of asparagus from seed without this preliminary treat ment. Save a corner of the garden for a few aromatic herbs. They thrive nicely along the sunny side of the garden fence, but require a deep and fairly rich soil. Thyme, summer savory and sage are great addi- tions to many soups and stews. Cut them just before they bloom on a bright sunny day. Tie them in bunches and hang up to dry. In order to ascertain the depth to plough, it is recommended to find how deep the soilhas been enriched, and do not go much below this point. Where the subsoil is poor, with only a few inches of rich ground on top, the result of deep ploughing would be to turn the poor soil uppermost. 0n land of ordinary richness a crop of Indian corn will grow better with the same care and manure if it be plough- ed only four or five inches deep, than if ploughed eight or ten inches deep A hundred trees am he set at a cost of ten to twenty dollars, or for almost no cost, if one has spare time and saplings are easily available. These may in ten to fifteen years grow to be worth from $3 to $10 each for needed timber and fuel, or for the fruits or nuts produced. It would be greatly to the advantage of the country, its climate, and its beauty, if the sides of our public highways generally were planted with trees that furnish shade and omsment while growing, and supply at no distant period wood for various pur- poses. ___‘N4v.n>oe Earth Tremors. Earth tremors produced by artificial disturbances, such as the paging of can riages or trains, the movements of maâ€" chinery or bodies of people, are at our disposal for daily observation. At Green- wich Observatory the tremolous motion in the soil, especially noticeable on bank holidays and at all timm when Greenwich Park was unusually crowded, resulted in the construction of an apparatus in which the dish of mercury used in the deter- mination of the collimation error of the transit circle was suspended by flaccid springs. By means of this contrivance the tromulous motiuns of the ground were absorbed before the y reached the mercury, and the difficulty of observation was over~ come. French engineers, working with delicate surveying instruments in crowded cities, have similarly been compelled to suspend a portion of their apparatus, so that a. steady image could be obtained. Professor H. M. Paul, seeking for a site for the Naval Observatory at Washington, found that the image of a star reflected from a tray of mercury was disturbed bya train passing at the distance of a mile. Lieutenant Colonel Palmer, when engaged in observing the transit of Venus in New Zealnud, discovered that a ditch a few feet in depth was sufficient to en. trench his instrumentsagalnst the disturb- ance created by trains passing at a dist- once of 700 yards. Captain Denuian found the effect of a goods train to be transmitted 1100 feet above marshy ground, but vertic- ally above the train, passing through a tunnel in sandstone, disturbance oxtend~ cd only 100 feet. One result obtained from these and numerous other observa- tions upon artificially produced tremors indicates that these disturbances were superficial, and although they may creep up the surface of a critic sloping hill, their spread is checkle by a steep cutting. ‘a»_._v- - .-. «tam... Nothing New Under the Sun The operations at Petcrborough Catho- dral, England, prove that a fradulent builder is ncnow thing. The walls of the tower, while possessing a specious face of good stone blocks, had within nothing more substantial than loose bits of stone and dry rubbish. The supporting piers below, also, which ought to have been as solid as the rock itself, were found pre- cisely similar in construction, down even to the foundations, where, to the increas~ ed amazement of the explorers, a still tucrofiagrnntspmimenofmedimval“jerry” work was encountered. Correctly speak- ing, there never had been any founda- tions to these piers at all, their lower courses having been simply bedded on a layer of loose rubble chips and sand, these in their turn resting upon natural gravel only. There is a rock a foot or two lower down, but, strange to say, no advantage was made of this circumstance, though it must certainly have been within the knowledge of the old builders. These discoveries compelled the condemnation of the two western piers, which at first it had been the design to spare on account of their seeming soundness. The same indications of grossly slovenly work were revealed in the removal of these also, and the foundations were discovered to be equally worthless. -w Potato Starch. it takes two hundred and fifty bushel of tatoes to make a ton of potato starch. ts manufacture, which is very simple, is as follows: After being thoroughly washed and freed from dirt, the potatoes are rvduoed to pal by means of s grater.

The present ruler of Afghanistan boasts of his skill as a mechanic, a musician, and a physician. In each capacity he believes there is no Afghan to equal him. To ex- ect truth from an Afghan is like looking or water in a desert, says a writer in the London Times, but it is said that Abdur- rahmau is an accomplished liar and an ad- ept in the art of chicane. He is averse to the practice of making oaths, but when he does make one it is considered a sure sign that he has no intention of perfum- lng what he has promised. Cincinnati is superstitously interested in the case of a. woman who, falling asleep in a railroad train dreamed vividly that her child at home had been hurt.

Prof. Rouger, on feeding his monkeys, in Parsgua, with eggs, observed that at first they smashed them and then wasted much of their contents ; but they soon learned to hit one end against some hard body and pick off the bits with their paws, and if they cut themselves once with any sharp tool, they would either not touch it again or handle it with the greatest cau- tion.

The soldiers can be msnmuvrcd upon ice or over the snow equal to that of the best trained cavalry. As an instance of the speed at which they can go, it is stated that a messenger nt« tacked to the corps has accomplished 120 miles in eighteen hours and a half, over mountains.

The famous jackdaw of Rheims has been outdone by a British tomtit. At Shenbridge Hall, the residence of Mr. Lockett, in England, the hall letter box is placed in a gate at the roadside, and Mr. Lockett, expectin a check from Liverpool, went to the x. He discov- ered that the envelope had been tampered with and the check abstracted. Coming to the conclusion that he had been rob‘ bed, as the letter itself remained while the check had been taken, Mr. Locket‘. at once rode to Nantwich and gave informa- tion at the Post Office and at the police station. On returning later he examined the letter box more closely, and then investigation led to his finding the miss- ing check lying twenty-six yards away on the turnpike road, whitherit had evident 1y been carried by a tomtit. Marks of the beaks of the tomtits were found on the letter and the check, and the latter being folded very small, its abstraction was easy. Among the 86,000 non-commissioned officers and men constitutin the British home army on the first of anuary, and including all young soldiers, there were under 5 feet 5 inches in height 10,622: between that and 5 feet 6 inches, 11,944 ; between 5 feet 6 inches and 5 7 inches there were 15,810, and nearly the same number, or 15,499, 5 feet 8 inches or an inch under ; between 5 feet 8 inches and 5 feet 9 inches there were 12,763; be- tween 5 feet 9 inches and 5 feet 10 inches 8,725 ; and between 5 feet 10 inches and 5 feet 11 inches, 5,373. Above that height there were only about 5,000 men, and one-fifth are in the Household Caval- ry, of whom 665 are over, and 378 less than an inch under, 6 feet. In the Guards notwithstanding the lowering of the stand- ard from 5 feet 8 inches, there are but 505 men between 5 feet 7 inches, the new, and 5 feet 8 inches, the old, minimum.

There are 20,000 producing oil wells in Pennsylvania, yielding at present 60,000 barrels of oil a day. It requires 5,000 miles of pipe line and 1,600 iron tanks of an average capacity of 25,000 barrels each to transport and store the oil and surplus stocks. There are now nearly 38,000,000 barrels of oil stored in the region in tanks. This oil would make a lake more than one mile square and ten feet deep. The money actually invested in petroleum pro- duction since 1860 is estimated to be more than $425,000,009, of which $20,000,000 was capital fro. "1w Y- city. Since 1880 more thtih'~ é; ,lu,‘ . has been used in building iron‘ ‘Pinks, and nearly as much in pipe lines. all by one corpora- tion. The tanks cost on an average $8,- 000 each. A 35,000-barrcl tank is 90 feet in diameter and 28 feet high. There is a lateral pressure of 6,000 pounds on each square inch of a tank of this size when full of oil. There is 100 tons of iron used in constructing one. The speculative transactions in petro- leum represent more than $400,000,000 annually. The lowest price crude petro- leum ever brought was 10 cents a barrel, in 1861. In 1859, when there was only one well in existence, Col. Drake‘s Pio- neer at Titusville, the price was $24 a barrel. Besides the 5,000 miles of pipe line in use in the oil regions there are in operation 1,200 miles of trunk pipe lines connecting the region with Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, and New York, and lines building to Philsdcphia and Balti- more. In the line between Olson and New York 16,000 barrels of oil are trans- orted daily. These lines are all the pro- perty of the Standard Oil Company, ex- cept one between Bradford and Williams- port, Pa. The Standard employs 100,- 000 men. The product of its refineries requires the making of 25,000 oak barrels of forty gallons each, and 100,000 tin'cnns holding five gallons each, every day. The first American petroleum ever exported was in 1862. Charles Lockhart of Pitts- burgh sent nearly 600,000 gallons to Eu- rope in that year and sold it for $2,000 less than the cost of transportation, In 1883 nearly 400,000,000 gallons were ex- ported, for which $60,000,000 were re- turned to the country.

We are apt to think of London as a teeming with a population of four millions \tht we do not fully realize is, that London, while geographically a great and compact mass, is, politically speaking, simply a combination of a. large number of separate towns, each partially indepen- dent, in government, of the others. \Vhat is called “the city of London” is but a very small part of the metropolis. The “city” comprises only about a square mile, and has a. population at night of only about fifty thousand. It is this small sec- tion, consisting mainly of the business and financial quarter of London, which is ruled over by the Lord Mayor and Our- poration. Otherwise London is divided up into a large number of parishes, which are gov- erned by “vestries,” and into boroughs, like Westminster and Southwurk, which have still another kind of government. There are one or two “Boards” indeed, which exercise their functions throughout the whole area of the metropolis. These are the Board of Works,which establish the roads, make regulations for health, and look after the sewerage, water, and so on ; the School Board, which presides over the national schools, and the Board of Police Commissioners, who manage the police force of the entire city. J usticc is meted out in the large part of London by police magistrates, who are appointed and salaried by the State. But in the “city” proper the Lord Mayor and Aldermen are the magistrates, servingâ€"â€" like the English country magistratesâ€" without pay. The many evils attendant upon the divided government of London have long been recognized ; and now a bill has been introduced into Parliament changing the various local and independent systems, and combining London under one central system. This measure proposes, indeed. to make London a sort of municipal federa- tion, which we may compare with the United States. The Lord Mayor, chosen, not as new, by a small body in a single locality, but by the representatives of the whole metropolis, will find his au- thority extended throughout its limits. The Board of Aldermen is to be abolished, and a Common Council chosen by and for all London. At the same time each parish and borough is still to have its local body, acting under the general one, and manag- ing itslocal affairs, just itst our States under the general Government at Wash- ington. The present Corporation of the “city” is thus made the basis and nucleus of the sway, not over fifty thousand, but over four millions of people. In making this great change, the Cabinet proposes that the people to be governed shall have a much larger share in electing their civic rulers than they have hitherto had, either in the “cit ' or in the parishes. The gwernmont of the “city” hasalrcndy been chosen by the “livery<men”nnd the various trade guilds. Now, the mass of those who are interested in the conduct of munici . affairs will have a voice at the polls as. to who shall assume it. All the important functions, in short, of the municipal rule except poor relief, education, and police, are to be given to the new corporation.
