The ©BB® were sold at wholesale—the

which other writers omit. First, kill
in the Fall nearly everything but ear
ly 3pri n g pullets; these can be made to
lay all Winter. The older the hen the
fewer the eggs. Second, warm the
food, for the first meal especially. Let
ihere be a variety of food—buckwheat
and wheat screenings are the best
grains: corn and oats come next. The
best animal food in my experience is a
beef's head. They will consume every
thing except the eyes. It costs twen
ty five cents and will last a week. When
they eaten the outside meat crack
it open for the brains: next split in two
and with an axe pound up a portion of
the bone dally Next stop and listen
—hear them sing, and see them run
for the nest. A beef's head is more
profitable than lard scraps, as the lat

the kitchen, into which order all the
toraps from diumgroom. This ifeual

BEST VARIBUKS OF WHEAT.— At a
recent meeting of millers in Cincin
nati, the comparative value of the diff
erent kinds of wheat for flouring pur
poses was considered. It was found
difficult to decide which should be de
clared best, on account of the modify
ing influences of climate and soil in a
territory measured by 23 deg. of lati
tude and 67 deg. of longitude, an area
of three and a quarter millions of
square miles. It was declared that the
same varieties growing in different
States differ materially in milling val
ue; that the Fife of Northern Mime io
ta and Dakota is far superior to the
same kind grown in Lower Illinois and
Wisconsin; that the Rappahaunock oi
Virginia, Georgia and Tennessee, is
much richer in gluten than the same
grown north of the Ohio River.
Still the comittee venture fto recom
mend for milling purposes? the fol ow
ing winter varieties: "Longberry
Amber," Lancaster, Indiana Red,
Alabama Orange, Velvet Chatf, R ip
pahanuock and Jennings. The first
two are prel ei red, being rich In gluten
and valuable for shipping to warm cli
mates. The third is also very glutin
ous, as is the Alabama, a variety that
yields poorly in the harvest. The Jen
nings is whole and hard, making flour
of good color and strength. The
Orange makes a family flour of lair
strength,wiih small proportionef offal.
The Rappahannock is variable, not
very rich, yielding a good family flonr
but is easily damaged by moisture.
The Velvet Chaff is early, has a stifl
straw, well adapted to rich soils,yields
fairly In milling a product of good
strength. C'afcson and Fultz, both of
which are varieties popular with grow
ers on account of their large yield, are
unpopular with millers, who declare
them soit and weak, with little glu
ten.
POTATOES —A Kansas farmer says
he raised some of the finest peach blow
potatoes he ever saw in the following
manner. In the latter part of May I
drove my two horses and plough to the
patch of ground I wished to plant and
commenced p'oughing around it. My
b y follow ed, dropping potatoes, one in
a place, every fifteen inchee and in
every other furrow. I turned a light
furrow on them, and when done I cov
ered the whole patch with straw to the
depth of three inches. They needed no
cultivation, and in Augu-t, when we
were having our dry sptll, the potato
vines in fields plat.ted in the ordinary
way were drying up and dying, these
potato tops of mine were growing vi
gorously, completely covering the
ground. I shall p'ant again in this
way, but, in the event of a wet season,
1 think the potatoes will be watery.
It will be a good plan to plant both
ways.
DURING the dead of winter any liv
ing plant which looks green adds to
the cheerfulness of a room, and a mass
of beautiful verdure is obtained by
the following expedient: Take about
twenty or thirty ears of wheat and tie
them together, leaving the straw about
two inches long. them up for a
few daj s, keeping them spriLkled
with water; the top will soon become
a pyramid of verdure, and will retain
Its beauty for several weeks. Tris
simple plan may be put in practice at
any time in the winter months.
A farm cart, which, with good us
age, would last almost a liietime, will
last only a few years when exposed to

Not the least promising applications
of the new luminous paint is found in
the production of a safety lamp for
coal miners. It is said to give light
enough for practical use, and, as it
contains no lire, or heat, it is evident
thai its use is absolutely free from risk.
By means of this form of lamp, in con
nection with blasting by compressed
air, fire and the attendant danger of
exploding gas might be ruled out, and
the most dangerous mines be made
quite safe.
Herr Bergel , of Berlin, has bought
out a curious device by means of
which pictures of various kinds are
burnt out on a piece of ordinary-look
ing rose-colored paper. A glowing
match is applied at two finely-perfora
ted points, and the sparks communi
cated then begin gradually to move
over the paper, tracing out the picture.
Neither leaves its proper path or in
jures the paper beyond, and when the
end of the path is reached the spark
goes out.
An easy method for showing whether
butter is adulterated with .beef fat has
been submitted by Hager. He satu
rates a cotton wick with a suspected
sample, which is first melted. He then
lights the wick and permits it to burn
for about two minutes. At the end of
that time, when the wick is extinguish
ed, an odor like that given off by a
tallow candle, when its llame is blown
out, is readily perceived if the butter
is artificial.

CURE FOR DlPHTHEßlA.— Diphtheria
is becoming a dreadful scourge aud the
writer of what Is here said, saw the
working of this cure in the hnnds of
an English physician at a time when
the disease was prevalent in an Eng
lish town. Speaking of the physician's
application, the writer says: "All he
took with him was powder of sulphur
and a quill, and with these he cured
every case without exception. He put
a spoonful of flour of brimstone into u
wineglass of water, and stirred it with
his finger instead of a spoon, as the
sulphur does not readily amalgamate
with water. When the sulphur was
well mixed tie gave it as a gargle, aud
ia ten minutes the patient was out of
danger. Brimstone kills every form
ot Inngus in man, beast or plant in a
lew minutes. Instead of spitting out
the gargle he recomnieuds the swal
lowing of it. lu extreme cases in
which he had been called just in the
nick of time, when the lungus was too
nearly closed to allow the gargle, he
blew the sulphur through a quill Into
the throat, and alter ehe fungus had
shrunk to allow of it, applied the gar
gle. He never lost a patient Irom
ulpLtherria. If a patient cannot gar
gle, take a live coal, put it into a
shovel and sprinkle a spoonful of flour
of brimstone at a tltne upon it, let the
sufferer iiihale it, hoi hug tue head
over it, aud the fungus will die. If
t lentilully used, the whole room, may
be filled aimost to suffocation, the pa
tient can walk about in it, inhaling
the luiues with the doors and window s
shut. The piau of luuiigaiiug a room
with sulphur has often cured most
violent attacks oi cola in the head aud
chest."
ONE secret of maktrg short crust
light is to roll it only once, and to
handle it as little as possible. Super
ior pastry will be impioved by the ad
dition oi the yolk oi an eggaiid two or
three drcps oi lemon jaice. It Is gen
erally understood that, for the best
crust, equal quantities ot butter and
flour should be taken; but very excel
lent paß:ry i.ideed may be made with
half the weight ot butter to that of
fl )ur, and good plain pastry may he
made with six ounces of butter or olar
itied dripping und a teaspoouful of
baking powder to one pound of fl >ur.
For meat pies it is really undcsiriable
that a large portion of butter should
be used.
MOCK GINGER PRESERVE.— Cut Into
strips }lie thiex rind ola watermelon,
tiim oft'the green and cut cut the in
side until ilie rinci is firm; cover with
water, into which throw enough soda
to make lhe water taste of it ; Ift stand
from twelve to twenty-lour hours; lake
out, boil in clear water until a straw
will go easily through; drain; put into
syrup made of good brown sugar,very
strongly flavored with pounded gin
ger; let boll slowly until the syrup
penetrates the rind. This is almost
as goad as ginger preserve.
STKWED BEETS.— Wash two or three
large beets without breaking the skin
or removing topstaiks or roots; boil
them an hour in boiling water aud
salt; then peel and slice them and
stew them an hour in the following
sauce: Mix together in a saucepan
over the fire one tables poonful each
of butter, flour and vinegar; gradual
ly stir in a pint of boiling water; sea
son the sauce with a saitspoonful of
3alt and a quarter of a saitspoonful of
pepper.
SCOTCH COOKIES.— Beat two cups of
sugar with one cup of butter and five
tablespoonfuls of milk in which has
been dissolved one teaspoonful of soda.
Beat two eggs quite white and add
them. Mix two teaspoonfuls
tartar with half & pound of flour and
a teaspoonful of powdered cinnamon.
Mix the whole together, adJing more
flour from time to time to make a
dough. Roll thin and bake quickly.
To wash a fine cambric handker
chief, embroidered in colored silks, so
that the colors do not run, the secret
is to wash in a soap lather very quick
ly, wring thoroughly and then iron,
so that it dries at once. There should
be no soaking, and thet embroidered
corner should be kept out of the water
as much as possible. A little alum in
the water will make the process more
sure.
ALWAYS have in the house a bottle
of alcohol for use in case the gas pipes

LEMON PIE —For a good sized pli
take one large lemon ; grate the rind
and add the juice to one and o -e-quar
tor cups of brown sugar. Beat the
yolks of four eggs with a pinch of salt;
add to the above, wh'ch requires only
one crust. When baked, beat the
whites of four eggs to a stiff froth with
a little white sugar spread and dry In

Frofessor Fleewing Jenkin has stated
that the following are she main condi
tions to be fulfilled in putting a house
Into good sanitary order: 1. The liquid
refuse from the house roust have a free
passage to the town sewer. 2. The air
from the town sewer must not have &
free passage into the house drain. 3
No air or gR9 from the drainage chan
nels of the house must enter the house.
4. No water or liquids must leak from
those channels inco the ground under
the house. 5. The drinking water
must be stored in such a manner as to
run no risk of contamination. 0. The
air of the dwelling rooms must be sup
plied without contamination.
Profesasr Tyndall says that ''burning"
of zinc is to be regarded as one of the
most serious drawbacks to the general
use of the electric light. Zinc, it is
known, may be burnt in air—that is,
oxidized; it may al->o be burnt or oxi
dized in acidulated water, but it has to
displace the oxygen from the kyrdro
gen for this to occur, and four-fifths of
the heat is used up in this process.
Thus it is that when zinc is thus burnt
only the remaining one-fifth is availa
ble for ihe purpose intended. The rate
of the burning makes no difference —
one ounce of zinc, for example, always
gives out the same amount oi luat.

the series, will be sent excepting upon
the receipt of a statement from a grocer
that the person applying for the cards
has bought of him on that day at least
seven bars ot Dobbins' Electric Soap,
with price paid for same. All apply
