They are known as tnodified eau celeste

The former is made by dissolving two

The amtnouiacal solutiou of copper car-

It does not differ from the modified eau
celeste, except that the former contains
sulphate of soda in solution and is some-
what stronger. If, before adding the am-
monia to the modified eau celeste, the cop-
per carbonate formed by the addition of the
sal soda to the copper sulphate had been
allowed to settle and after pouring off the
liquid if the ammonia had then been added
it would be what is knowvu as anunouiaanl

ILISECTICTDi:S,
For most purposes, particularly where
the insects eat the exposed portions of
plants, the ehtef reliance is still upon paris
green or london purple,although Horny per.
sons use white areento and corrosive subli-
mate. The last two are very poisonous and
as they closely resemble many common
household chemicals they should be used
with great care, if at all.
For many plants the paris green or lon•
don purple can be used at the rate of one
pound to 200 gallons, but for the plum this
should be somewhat reduced in strength,
while for the peach paris green alone in
water can hardly be used at any strength
without burning the leaves, As a rule paris
green is less likely to burn the fol loge thanion•
don purple and is rattler more effective. It
is, however, heavier and more difficult to
. keep in proper suspension in the water.
Either of these insectioides can be used
in combination with 'ocrdeaux mixture at
the same strength as when used alone, but
are hardly safe to be used in ammonia,
containing mixtures, unless a small gnaw
tityy of lime is added.
The vee of lime et the rate of one pound
to 32 gallons of water will also be of value
when they are used only as insecticides, as
it will allow of their application to the
,plum, cherry, and even the peach, with
safety.
Although it may he desirable to use
fungicides when there are no eating insects
non the plants, it will generally be well to
add a small quantity, of leaden purple, say
one pound to 250 gallons, if there is m17
probability of their appearance before

Swine.
To build a pig trough, take a two inch
plank, 16 inohe8 wide and n0 feet long,
spike to the sides two six moll planks the
same length as above, making the trottgil
four incites deep only. Ran an Inch board
through the center of trough, dividing it so
pigo can eat from both sides ; place Molt
strips from center boards to sides of trough
so es to have room for pigs to drink, but
not room for filthy feet in milk or slop. It
is the only way to feed dry or boiledmeal
and have no waste.
One of the attest important points to be
remembered in the great and now popular
indootry of swine growing is this, that the
requirements in the way of food for young
animals are materially different from that
of the old. In the young animals the bony
system must be built up. This consists
mainly of phosphate and carbonate of lithe,
and. nitrogen. Any food that does not con-
tain these elements will necessarily tend to
produce a small and weak boned hog, and
will lead to uuthrift and unprofibableness.
Tlieae elements are contained abundantly in
skim milk and for this reason dairy farm•
era have better opportunities of growing
thrifty hogs than the farmer who israiging
grain ata keeping cattle exclusively for
beef, Bran, shorts and linseed oil are each
of great value for the same purpose,
A little shelled corn is always a kind of
dessert to a pig under fifty pounds and
should be given, if for nothing else than for
the pleasure of seeing him eat it, As the
pig morease9 iu size, more carbohydrates
are deeded and the proportion of Dorn
should he gradually increased.
The Business of Farming.
We often hear ot the avocation of farming,
the pursuit of farming and the work of
farming, but we get a more comprehensive
meaning when we speak of the business of
fanning, for it has been demonstrated that
the farmer who conducts the operations of
his farm and handles his crops on business
principles, scores the highest and most sat-
isfactory success. The young man who says
then, "I have no use for a hasinese educa-
tion, for I never expoot to go into business,"
makes a very serious mistake, for he does
go into bushtess when he undertakes to
conduct a farm so as to got the best results
out of it. When farming is conducted as a
well regulated business should be, it will
cease to be regarded as a 'work ,for the mus.
eros alone, but something to draw largely
front the brain.
Book-keeping in its relations to the work
of the farm should be taught in every busi-
ness college, but it should be made so sim-
ple and praotieal that there would be no
difficulty m applying it.
Fertilisers.
The results of experiments at a Massa.
ehusetts school on fertilizers ere summarized
as follows:
The addition of mineral fertilizers in.
creased the yield of clover, but did not seem
to increase very materially the yield of
greases. In general the yield of hay in -
mused with the quantity of nitrogen sup-
plied, The mineral fertilizers when used
alone were applied ata financial loss. The
application of 100 pounds of nitrate of soda
per acre (25 pounds of nitrogen), in addition
to the mixed minerals, gave as average
profit during the three years of $1.40 per
aore; 320 pounds of nitrate of soda (50
pounds of nitrogen) gave ap average profit
of $5.24 per acre, and 450 pounds of nitrate
of soda (75 pounds of nitrogen) an average
profit of $2.4$ per acre. The returns from
320 pounds were very uniform, the profit
being $5.10, $5.12 and $5.40 respectively
'for three years. The application of nitrog•
coons fertilizers increased the percentages

portion to the amount of nitrogen supplied.
The ioorease in the amount of nitrogen in
the prop did not equal the increased amount
of nitrogen supplied in the fertilizers, thus
implying that the plants were not able to
utilise all the nitrogen supplied.
The peroentage of protein increased in
both oats and straw with the application
of nitrogen in the form of nitrate of soda or
sulphate of ammonia, and this increase was

the largest amount of nitrogen seemed to
have the moot marked effeot upon the pro-
tein of the crop. —_

WEST INDIA FISHERMEN.
'Womlcrful811111 Shawn by the Wives In
Their ting -cul mala.
One of the few interestng exhibitions of
skill that one sees is knocking about among
the West Indian Islands is the catching of
fish by the native. The Caribs, says a
writer, are the personification of idleness
when seen ashore about their huts and in
the streets of the town. They never seem
to have anything to do and always appear
to be perfectly contented to snooze about
in the shade in utter disregard of what the
morrow may bring forth. Put thein, how-
ever, in one of their little dugout canoes,
with a paddle in their hand, and they
aro all movement and' grace as they send
their frail craft ,spinning along over the
beautiful blue waves or guide them with
surprising agility in through the foaming
white•erestad breakers that, to the uniniti-
ated, look as though they were savage
enough to swallow up the cockleshell boats
and their too venturesome occupants.
A stranget would have gone through an
extended course of anti -fat before he could
stand a chance of Beating himself on one of
the narrow seats or of standing up in the
crazy canoe without fear of spilling himself
out into the briny and offering a tempting
morsel to the ubiquitous sharks, whose
ugly fins afford ever.present reminders of
what is in store for the unwary. Blow high
blow low, the native fisherman must talro
his chances and go out for seafood, which
apparently forms the chief portion of his
daily ration.
How many of them fail to return there is
no means of ascertaining, but it is quite safe
to say that an occasional accident must 00.

fiance of the burning rays of the tropical
sun, he frequently manages to cover miles
before his work is over and a proper mess has
been captured.
When tiro fish run close to the surface a
spear supplements the hook and line, but as
a general thing the tackle is the sole reli•
mice, Snail Fish naught close in shore or
the soft part of shellfish form the bait,
The hook is baited and allowed to trail
considerably astern, the end of the line be-
ing secured to a pin on the gunwale or to
the spare seat, and then the round turn is
taken over one of the big toes of the fisher -
The paddle is handled to perfection and
is dipped in the water s0 quietly that not
a splash is seen nor a sound heard, while
the boat is sent ahead at a moderate speer;,
with only a minimum disturbance on the
water. The slightest nibble, and down
goes the paddle in the boat ancd with both
hands the litre is hauled in. All of these
movement's are so perfectly made that the
two-foot•wide Draft remains without a sem.
blanoe of rocking, and, indeed, when the
fish is elope alongside it is hard to see that
any additional motion is given the boat.
This is all the more remarkable when one
considers the Spanish mackerel, barraoouta,
or whatever the fish may be, are often very
large. Some of the latter are over amen
feet and weigh about 30 pounds, These
aro exceptions, to be sure, but one frequent-
ly sees fish hauled in as large as our good-
sized blue -fish, and quite as active.

As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been
able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and
harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most
delicate individual. Nine -tenths of all the ailments to which the human:
family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired diges-
tion, When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a
general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the
result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the
right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments
disappear as the nerves recover, As the nervous system n.ust supply all
the power by which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it the
first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not con-
tain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair
the wear our present mode of 'riving and Leber imposes upon the nerves.
For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied.
This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the
essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts,
for its universal adaptability to the cure of all forms of nervous de—
rangement.

A SWORN CURE FOR ST. VITAS' DANCE OR CHOREA,
CRAWFORDSVII,LE, IND., June 22,1887. -
My daughter, eleven years old, was severely afflicted with St. Vitus' Dance
or Chorea. We gave her three and one-half bottles of South American Nere
vine and she is completely restored. I believe it will cure every ease of St.
Vitus' Dance. I have kept it in my family for two years, and am sure itis

forms of Nervous Disorders and Failing Health, from whatever cause.
