The remain? ing block of 412 carats was seut to Amsterdam about ten years ago, where, under the personal direction of three of the first lapidaries of the town, it was cut to the present sue of ISO carats. It is stated that the Queen of Holland, now Quien Regeat, was present when the first facet was cut, and that the whole of the stone occupied eighteen months.

The owners of the stone at once bestowed that title upon it, by which, no doubt, it will known. The Imperial diamond was prominently exhibited at the Paris Exhibition, where special measures were taken for its safe custody, as, for instance, the table on which it was placed being lowered into the ground at night and protected by an iron London The Fertility of Broom Coru. It is estimated that an acre of land iu broom corn will make 1000 pounds at each of the two cuttings per annum, be? sides thirty bushles of seed and four tons of hay. Two good workings will make the crop, thin it out, leaving from three to four stalks in the hill, and requiring no other cultivation. The first cutting should take place about July 10 aud the second about November 1.

The seed is tine for feeding purposes for any kind of stock, and the hay superior to prairie hay. There are parties willing to guar? antee the purchase of 500 tons of broom euter into a bend if necessary at depot, agreeing to pay per ton cash, which insures as ready sale as cotton. Five hundred acres will produce that amount, one tou per acre, and the ex of preparation fer marke' is much less than cotton, and if cur cd well and handled well it classes No. 1. The seed can be procured for "f'l per and one bushel will plant six acres.

In view id the fact that the price of cotton is so bw as not to pay for its cultivation, in casting about for other products for the farm the cultivation of broom corn should come in for a share of the atten? tion of our farmers, especially ns the broom factores in the State are import? ing their material from St. orado Citizen.

FOWLS KA.TINO FEATHERS. Every case of depraved appetite in an animal duo tr? some craving iuduced by a want of sufficient variety of food. Fowls must necessarily be supplie i with a largo quantity of nitrogenous matter and some sulphur to provide the- mate? rials for their feathers and eggs, which contain a large proportion of these sub? stances. If this nutriment is not sup? plied the birds are uneasy and the health Will fail, until they cannot produce the plumage or the eggs. Both of these necessary elements of nutrition are sup? pled by flesh meat, and hence fowls arc icstinctively consumers of small animals and insects.

When they caunot pro? cure a supply of these they muit be furnished with a substitute. In practice it is found that fowls that have a regular supply of animul matter do not exhibit this habit of eating feathers or eggs. If a regular feeding of fresh bones with moat on them and finely broken is given from tbe beginning of winter there will be no troublo in this direction. The habit is moro easily prevented than York Times. My garden is ten rods long and eight wide, writes a correspondent.

I plow assoon in spring as it gets dry enough to work well. While plowing I call all my hens in, sny 150, to pick up tho worms; they have a feast. The next day I harrow floe, and plant and do all 1 can to keep tho hens at work to get rid of worms. I tiieu sow all small seeds in rows the whole length of garden, as straight as a lino can be drawn, twenty-eight inches opart, raking wide enough for one row, and draw line and mark with end of hoe handle close to line about an inch deep. Then I sow the seeds, such us beets, let? tuce, onions, cabbage, carreta, spinach, parsnips, tomatoes, etc.

remove the line and pat the dirt on the seeds with the back of the rake, so as to cover the seeds about half an inch deep, and they always grow. Next, I rake enough for another row and sow, and so on until all the smrall seed are sown. I plant two rows of English multiplier row of large and one of the same way, only I use the corner of the hoe for a marker, for they must be planted deeper, and a couple of rows of peas a foot apart; cover as before with back of rake, and pat the soil firm; they are sure to grow. Treat cucumbers, squash, beans, the same, only farther apart; potatoes, three corn 2-J- feet. The whole garden is planted in rows lengthwise.

It is a groat pleasure to run a good cultivator up and down between the rows and see the weeds turn upthcir toes and die. Try this plan, dear reader.

HOW TO PLANT FOOD. It is of great advantage to farmers and horticulturists, to understand the me? thods by which plants take up their food from the soil, thinks A. B. Barrett, for it will enable one to understand the special needs of his soil much better. Theie must be an economy in feeding plants, as well as in feeding animals, and as the needs of plants are better under? stood the more we arc enabled to prac? tice this.

A great part of the manure that ha3 been applied to plants has beeu lost simply owing to ignorance on this subject. Tho true economy in feeding plants is to know the value of a rotation of crops. Special functions are per? formed by different crops, and they live on difierent substances in the soil and air. The corn crop, for instance, has the great power of growing almost con? tinuously upon the same soil, or at la tal until the nitrates of the soil arc ex? hausted. In time they carry away a great deal of nitrogen, which weakens the soil for certain other While the corn can grow for a long period upon the native soil whi-h has not been manured, the root crop on the other hand depends largely upon manures well supplied with They also exhaust the soil of nitrates, but not quite so rapidly as the corn.

The leguminous plants, clover especially, arc said to return to the soil, and are great crops follow the corn. It is somewhat doubtful about the clover gathering their from the air, as some claim, but if not from the atmosphere the roots bring it up from the sub soil. By the long roots they stir up the soil and collect nutriti ous material which the other crops fail to reach. These crops arc more depend? ent upon soil and liimate than upon manures for their growth. The 'rue theory ol cultivating the soil then is to economize iu manure con? and to use the other simple methods which nature gives us.

Nutri fication of the soil has to take place in the spring before the plants can grow, and this is forwarded by good plowing and stirring, si that the sun and air can work upon it. Thorough cultivation is thus often more essential than manure. A judicious rotation of crops, including the three different kindn of plants, corn Off wheat, roots and clovers, should also be adopted, to gat the most benefit from soil, iu this war less autnurs will bo required, and the soil will always be kept supplied with all the plant food required. is intensive farming on an intelligent Cultivator. I IN CHEESE MAKINO.

The usual method of the checso Bsaker is to rush the process of making, and in far too many cases, attempt a big yield at the expense of quality. In many factories, the aight'a milk is licit! nver until morning, and the? morning's milk then added. Tho Bight's milk is usually warmed up in advance, the now milk added as it an and when the lost can goes in. the milk is ready to set. The rennet is quickly introduced, ami then the curd is heated up to ninety-six degrees or ninety-eight degrees as soon possible.

The haste to cook, suit ami get to press is observe 1 as In the first process, and the result is cheese of all grades of texture, quality and "be havior," and iitinl disaster. Is there no remedy? If our cheese makers, to begin with, -will insist upon taking in no milk that is not up to then go slower themseive-, a great gain would be made. Let this heating up wait until all the milk is received and then gradually heat up the mixed milk, keeping it wsll stirred until ripened. It will thcu work eveuly aud uniformly, and give a sound curd at the end. Milk is not worked down smooth enough, as a rule, before the rennet is introduced.

The method of adding the rennet needs a little reform. It should be made more dilute. The small amount is not sufficient to be thor ougii'y mixed with the milk. If the same amount of rennet is diluted with at least three volumes of warm water and then addr-'d, better coagulation will re stilt. The cooking or scalding is often done too hastily.

The heat should be raised very slowly, aud at inter? vals it should bo held steady for a short time, and then stcain 1 again turned on. What is the object of cooking scald it, or is it a I method of promoting rennet action? It is questionable whether, taking one day with another, milk is not set too warm, and later on scalded at least ten decrees too high. Some late developments seem to indicate that eighty degrees is warm i enough for milk when set, and eighty? I six degrees to scald, rather than ninety six degrees or ninety-eight degrees, the I usual temperature. The operation ol cheese making should bo to make a good cheese and retain all of the butter fats possible. Bol the moment milk or curd is warmed up to eighty-eight degrees, the oil in them tends to liquify, and es? capes with the fluids, being lost as food.

Of course it will take longer to cook a SS some Cana? dian experimenters are finding that they thus get as fine cheese as they ever did, with a pound less of milk for a pound of chei The acid needs to be developed in our curds in a dryer way, niter they have been taken out of the whey, aud the i curds kept warm for this derelopment to take place.

Much good curd is injured by allow? ing it to remain loo long in the whej after the acid isdereloped.

Oatheoth hand, some curds arc put to press before they have taken enough, or been properly works 1 sn 1 aerate and then dumped into the hoops too warm. Deliuite rules should be observed on th? point, when, and at what temperature the salt should be added, and at what stage of acidity and temperature the curd shall be put to press.

The seed ol cannas ought to be planted early. Arrange to have the nests dark, espe? cially for sitting hens. Geese, turkeys, ducks and guineas thrive best with a goad range. Keep the goose feathers separate from the cluck and chicken feathers. Pckin ducks can readily be kept on farms where there arc no ponds.

To make young ducks profitable growth must be pushed from the start. When the young chickens arc afflicted with leg weakness, feed them bone meal.

Their women are shrouded from bead to feet in white haicks arid burnous, the only sign of difference in rank or social standing being shown in fineness of the stuff worn as outer covering. They wear a veil, of course, and it covers all the face except one Bye, and sonic times they piously or coquct conceal it also.
