AGRICULTURAL. EFFECT CF HEAT ON HOGS —Hogs gener ally gam very little during the snjnmer on account of the neglect on the part of their owners to provide for their comfort. In some cases their skin cracks opeu by the influence of the direct rays of the suu, and sores are formed which are intested by insects. The large amount of tat contained in the body of the hog renders it impatient of heat, and means should be provided for rendering the animal as cool as possible. The pastures in which hogs are kept should he veil supplied with water, not only for drinking but for cooling purposes. It there aie no natural streams or ponds, there should be pools made in which they can wallow when they desire. They should have plenty of grass and other green food, as well as sour milk and slops. Corn and other heating articles of food should be fed sparingly. Cooling shade is essential to the comfort and well being of hogs duriug the hot days of summer. Farmers who have the advantage of groves and forests located on the banks of streams and rivers, or on the shores of lakes, geuerally have little trouble with hogs during the summer. The ground protected by the trees ami bushes remains cool and moist even when that exposed to the rays of the sun is parched and hot. The streams and ponds afford water for drinking aud loathing. The hog is a cleanly animal when it is allowed a fair chance. If a hog pasture contaius no natural shade and water, they should be provided. Water cau be con ducted through pipes from springs and wells at a small expense, aud made to supply poels and watering troughs. Shade can be afforded by planting trees or erect ing sheds covered by straw or running vines. GYPSUM AND HOW TO APPLY IT. —Gypsum 6ulpnate of lime, is not strictly a lertil :zer, yet it acts directly upou the plant ami indirectly upon the soil AS a fertilizer. When sown upon growiug crops especially clover and the grasses, it attracts and gathers the ammonia of the atmosphere, and fixes it upon vegetation, deliquescing upon the leaves and spears, so that it is taken up iuto the circulation. This am rnouia not only serves as one of the nutri tive elements of crops, but is carried by the circulation down iuto the roots and acts as a fertilizer in after years. It does not benefit the crops upon "all soils, for in stance, it has not been found beneficial to crops in the tide water district of Virginia, as weil as other localities. When clover, grasses and other crops, are two or three inches high, and the dews are heavy, sow the gyp&um on the growing plant when heavily laden with dew before evaporation takes place in the morning. The plaster adheres to the green crops, forming a sort of mucilage, attracting the ammonia, ana fixing it in the plauts. One busht \or less quantity will suffice for an acre, and do just as well as a large quantity Its influ ence is felt and seen, upon tne crt ps in a few weeks after being sown. It is good for all garden vegetables and vines, and dusted upon them frequently, will drive away insects. Br.ixo He ME SOMETHING." —.NearIy every farmei goes to the nearest village to trade, visit a mechanic, or obtain his letters and papers, at least once a week. He often takes a load to market, but he rarely brings one home. He can, with very little trou ble, haul a load of material that may be obtained for nothing, and which will lie of great benefit to his land. Most village people make no use of the ashes produced in their stoves or the bones taken from the meat they consume. Scarcely any brewer has any use for the hops that have betn boiled in his vats, and the blacksmith hardly ever saves the clippings he takes from the feet of horses. All these materi als makejexcellent manure. A barrel of shavings cut from the hoofs of horses con tains more ammonia than is contained in a load of stable manure, Applied to land without preparation, they might give no immediate results, but they would become decomposed in lime, and crops of all kinds would derive benefit from them. They may be so treated that they woUd pioduce im mediate results. By covering them with fresh horss manure they will decompose very rapidly. They may also be leached in a barrel and the water that covered them drawn off and applied to plants. Water in which pieces of horns and hoofs have been soaked is an excellent manure for plants that require forcing. It stimulates the growth of tomatoes, rose bushes and house plants very rapidly, and emits no otiensive odors. A vast amount of fertil izing mateiiai is wasted in towns that far mers could obtain the benefit of with very little trouble. GREASE is fatal to all insect lite. Insects breatiie by means of small pores on their sides. Grease or oil that comes in contact with the insects closes the pores and stops the breathing. Mercurial ointment kills as much by the lard in it as by the mercury— that is, so far as the vermin are concerned, but not as to the animals that lick it off from their bodies, eo that almost any oily or greasy application will be destructive to insect vermin that infest animals, if it is applied where it will do the most good. THE wood of drinking-water tanks may be preserved by coating it with genuine aspbaltum, purified by melting it over a fire and stirring it occasionally for six hours. Apply to the dry wood and let it stand several days before wetting. The way Plate Glagg is Made. To cast, roll, polish and burnish plate glass requires machinery of peculiar con struction, and a "plant" that is costly by reason of its complex nature. The pouring of liquid glass from the furnace upon the cast iron plates, and the subsequent rolling, are processes comparatively simple. Any housekeeper who has used a rolling-pin on a batch of pie-crust dough, performs an opera tion very similar to this stage of plate glass making. It is the succeeding process of grinding and polishing and final burnishing that require time and costly mechanism. After leaving the rolls and bed plate glass is ripplefi and rough, and only fit for grat ings or sky-lights. Each plate must be transferred to machines that resemble the tables of a railway. On the revolving plat form the glass is cemented into a bed of plaster of Paris, and the machine started. Bearing heavily on the surface of the glass are blocks of metal, and while in motion the surfaces are kept supplied with sharp sand and a constant stream of water. The next stage of the glass grinding process is the same as to machinery, but instead of sand coarse emery is used. The finer emery is used in another revolving table, and so on for half a dozen times. The final polishing is done by heavy reciprocating devices, fed with rouge, and maintaining a constant back and forward motion, and also lateral movement over the surface of the crystal. Ail this requires the assistance of a large force of men, many of them skilled labor ers. After going through these different grindings and polishing, the plate that mea sured an inch in thickness is only three quarters of an inch thick, has lost all its roughness, and is ready for the show win dow of the purchaser. DOMESTIC. GKEEN GOOSEBERRIES FOR TARTS. —FiII very clean, dry, wide-necked bottles with gooseberries picked the same day, in dry weather, and just before they have attain ed their full size. Wrap a little hay round each bottle, and set them up to their necks in a boiler of cold water, which should be brought very gradually to a boil; a little hay must be put in the bottom of the boil er, and the bottles fixed flruily. Let the fruit simmer gently until it appears shrunken and perfectly scalded, then take out the bottles, and fill up as many as you can quite full with some of the cooked gooseberries—it is generally necessary to sacrifice one of the bottles in doing this, taking cr not to break the fruit. Direct ly the bottles are full of gooseberries, pour boiling water into the bottles up to the brims, else they will mildew. Tie bladder over the tops immediately, aud keep the bottles in a dry, cool place. When the gx>seberr;es are used, pour off the greater part of the water, aud add the same sugar as for fresh truit, of Which tiny ought to have the same flavor and ap pearance. Prepared iu this way, goose lierries are perfectly wholesome, ami will keep until the fruit coiues in again. DRAWN WORK STITCHES. —These are for use on linen or crash. For towels, table covers, buffet scarfs ami doylees they are most admirable. The pupil may begin with the eld hemstitch, and as she pro gresses, add laee stitches herring-bone but tonhole, overcasting, chain stitch, darning and knot stitch. Draw the threads from the end of a piece ot linen tor alnrnt au iuch in depth, i'ass a thread through the middle of the strands that are leh, cross ing and catching them in hunches of two or three. This cau be used as the heading tor fringe around doylees. Catch and secure with your needle a few threads close to the body of the stuff at top and bottom of a drawn space. This leaves the effect of even rows of threads a little separated. Theu use achaiu stitch to draw these rows together in hunches of four iu the center. The foregoing pattern may be elaborated by a thread introduced in a waving line over and under the bunches of threads. Repeat this waved liue in returning, and where the lines cross in the center finish with small figures in lace stitches. An in genious workman will make endless com binations and varieties for herself. FOB THE SlCK. —Frequently we find sick people whose stomachs reject all Kinds of nourishment, until conditions follow that are in many cases fata'. I have never known the simple saucer of parched corn puddiug refused. The corn is roasted brown, precisely as we roast coffee,ground as fine as meal in a coffee-mill, aud made either into mush, gruel, or thin cakes, baked lightly brown and given either warm or cold, clear, or whatever dressing the stomach will retain. Parched corn and meal boiled in milk, and fed frequently to children suffeuog from summer diarrho a. will almost always cure, as it will dysen tery in adults. WORTH KNOWING. —A poison of any conceivable description and degree of pot ency, which has been swallowed, inten tionally or by accident, may be rendered instantly harmless by swallowing two gills of sweet oil. An individual with a very strong constitution should take twice the quantity. This oil will neutralize every fonu of vegetable poison with which the physicians and chemists are acquainted. Cut this out aud save it; you might nave great cause of congratulation for doing so. BONNET BASKETS. —In some Euglish houses a bonnet basket is found in the bed room assigned to each guest. A fiat wicker basket with a cover, large enough to hold two or three hats or bonnets, may be lined with pink or blue diagonal silesia, tne top interlaced with ribbon to match, which is tied in bows at the corner of the lid. A square of friuged-out linen with a design ot daisies embroide.ed in the center, can be made to embellish the lid, if desired. CITRON CAKE. —One cup of butter, two of sugar, three of flour, four eggs, one cup of milk, one teaspoonful of soda, two of cream tartar and a pinch of salt. Make the cake, put in the pan, cut the citron thin and put in the cake endways; push down until the batter covers the citron, and tliis will prevent the citron from falling to the bottom of the pan. GARGLE FOB SOKE THROAT. —Take one teaspoontul of cayenne pepper, on 3 tea spoonful of salt, one pint of water, two tablespoonfuis of vinegar; sweeten to taste with honey or loaf sugar. Mix together and bottle. CURE FOR HOARSENESS. —Take the whites of two eggs and beat them with two tea spoonfuls of white sugar, grate in a little nutmeg, then add a pint of luke warm wa ter : stir well, drink often and it will cure the most obstinate case of hoarseness in a short time. To REMOVE PROUD FLESH. —Pulverize loaf sugar very tine and apply it to the part afflicteu. This is a new and easy remedy, and is said tc remove it without pain; or burnt alum pulverized and applied is an old and reliable remedy. DEODORIZED BENZlNE. —According to Mr. Fairthorne, benzine may be freed from all offensive odQr by shaking it up well with quicklime—about three ounces to the gallon. To CURE WARTS. —Out a slice from a raw potato and rub the hand each night; let the water dry on the hand, ft will need but few applications. SWELLED JNECK.— Wash the part with brine, and drink it also twice a day until cured. For the purpose of determing the capaci ty of a horse to undergo the p ivations inci dent to a state of siege, a series of experi ments have been made in Paris, The re sults show that a horse may hold out for twenty-flve days without any solid nourish ment, provided it is supplied with sufficient good drinking water ; that a horse can sub sists for barely five days without water; and, ttiirdly, that if a horse is well fed for ten days, but insufficiently supplied with water throughout this period, it will not out live the eleventh day. A horse which had received no solid nourishment for twelve days was, nevertheless, in a conditiou to draw a load of GOO pounds on the twelfth day of its fast. Cutting Holes in Glass. —The opera tion of making holes and sections in giass and porcelain is often a troublesome and unsatisfactory one. The firm cf Richter & Co., in Chemnitz, have found away of so impregnating thin German silver disks (15 to 25 mm. diameter) with diamond,that when fitted to a quietly rotating tool, these cut through glass or porcelain in a few sec onds, or effect any desired carving with great accuracy. With cylinders made on the same principle, round holes can be quickly and exactly made. The wear of the implement, even after much use, is hardly perceptible. WIT AND HUMOR. BROWN: "L'es. Miss, 1 dew look prooty well, but I suffers horeful from rheumatic gout." Young lady: "Well,Brown,why don't you go to the dispensary down there and get something for it?" Brown: "Noa, noa, Msss, wife's a-takin' physic from theor, tur hronkiters, an' now an' then 1 takes a good long suck at it." Young lady: "Well, but it might be quite wrong iu your case, Brown." Brown: "Well, you see. Miss, what 1 ses is thb, what's sauce fur the goose is sauce fur the gamier!" A POETESS moans: "My heart lay on the threshing floor; 1 stifled every wail ft* blow on blow descended from one who bold the flai?." It was enough to kill her ! But a woman who is so careless as to leave her heart lying on a barn floor until it is pound ed into jelly with a flail doesn't deserve a particle of sympathy. The thresher per haps didn't know it was "only a woman's heart." lie may have mistaken it for a section of condemned bologna sausage,and we, therefore, ask for a suspension of public opinion iu his lielialf until his side of the story is printed. I'APA was at his toilette, and his young est daughter, ageu six, who had found her way into his dressing room, was watching the progress of his shining razjr with the keenest interest. Presently her elder sis ter came in search of her, urging, "\ou must come away, May, while papa is shav ing." "I guess not,"' retorted the little wit, quickly, "1 can stay, 'cause I'm his little shaver!'' \oi NO man, lie ware of stock and grain speculations! If you waul an "option" that is safe, get the option to the hand cf a good sensible girl of marriageable age, aud put up a lot and a neat little cottage us a margin.

"WHY, I'm so glad you've conic. l>ul you know that I've been worrying about you, John, all the evening ?" "That's just what I marrid you for. it is pleasant to think that there is some one home wor rying about you." Somehow this view of ttie matter didn't exactly coincide with her ideas of marital amenities. A LOVING bride: A young man has just been married. Ou the evening of the hap py day he observes his bride carefully re storing her bouquet of orange blossoms within a globe of glass prepared fjr ihu purpose. Much surprised he inquires the reason. She, with a charming smile, re plies: "But, my dear, 1 may be able to keep it for uext time." "MA," said a little girl, "1 don't think Solomon was so rich as they say ho was. ' "Why, my dear, what makes you think so?" "Because he slept with his fathers; and I think if he had been so very rich lie would have had a bed of his own to sleep in." "MY dear Professor, I want to thank you for your lecture. You made it all so p'ain that I could understand every word." Professor—"l am truly glad you did un derstand it. 1 have studied the subjeot for about thirteen years, and am not clear that I understand it yet." "I WONDER," said a young hopeful of seven, who had been to a grand wedding in a stylish church, "1 wouder why the organ played "Lo he grins'?" "How stupid, Freddie," was the prompt reply of his young sister, "it wasn't 4 Lo he-grins' it was 4 Lo-he-grcen." AN American, after dining at a Loudon restaurant, paid his bill aud was about leaving, when the waiter suggested that the amount did not include the waiter. "Ah," said the man; "but I didn't eat the waiter." "W.'.KX a man is doubled with pain, would you call him twins?" By Gemini, no! we'd call him an acher. But perhaps it would be better to call a physician. WHEN* a young man, who is assisted out of the house by the boot of his adored one's stem parent, wants to air his griev ances through the public press, he should make the Shoe and Leather Reporter the vehicle of his troubles. CAroiiT in the act: Clara: "O, Cbar ley, you naughty boy I I saw you throw your cigar away just as I came around the corner." Charley: "Why didn't you say you wanted it? flow was I to know?" AN Arkansas man amused himself by throwing his revolver into the air and catching it. His funeral was one of the most recherche affairs ever witnessed in the State. AN evading editor answers an inquiring lady : "If you waut to have your dress gored, all you've got to do is to flirt a bandanna handkerchief in the presence of sullen bull." A GREAT many persons are like the cir cus poster. It's only because they are stuck up they attract attention. A YOUNG lady up in Berkshire county, Massachusetts, was stung on the lip by a bee the >ther day. That bee evidently knew his business. HE who seeks a nomination for office and finds it not, is like unto him who at tempts to sit down on a cbair that has sud denly been jerked away. ONE of the inexplicable phenomena of nature is the effect of the emptying of a pan of ashes has in suddenly reversing the direction of the wind.

The Uses of Mica. —The mica chiefly met with in commerce is of that variety which is proof against acids and intense heat. Its toughness, elasticity, and close approach to transparency naturally led, at first, to its use for windows, and especially to its employment in lanterns. It is found in large quantities in North Carolina, where there aie unmistakable evidences that some of the beds were worked a great many years ago. The fluer sheets of mica art now used for such purposes as the dials of compasses, the lettering of fancy signs, covering photographs, constructing lamp shades, reflectors, etc. Of late mica has been used in the soles of boots and shoes, as a protector against dampness. The in vent ion consists of a sheet of mica embed ded in thin coatings of cement and placed in the boot and shoe between the outer and inner sole, the upper leather lapping over its edges, and covering the upper space from the toe to the instep. • There are many other uses to which mica is put, aud it is be coming more and more valuable as the arts aud trades progress.

Nearly all marbles are made at Ober stien, Germany.
