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.

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

quarries and mills in that neighborhood,
and the refuse is turned to good account in
providing the small stone balls for experts
to "knuckle" with. The stone is broken
into small cubes by blows of a light ham
mer. Then small blocks of stone are
thrown by the shovelful into the hopper of
a small mill, lormed of a bedstone, having
its surface grooved with concentrate fur-
TJWS ; above this is the "runner," which is
of sou.e hard wood having a level face on
its lower surface. The upper block is made
to revolve rapidly, water being delivered
upon the grooves of the bedstone whers the

According to M. Bogdanoff, who took

last summer, the present system of pursuing
whales with steamers and bullets has so
greatly increased the number killed annu
ally as to have a marked effect upon the
fisheries on the Noruiauic coast. former
ly the whales drove immense shoals of fish
to the coai-t9 in the spring; now the num
ber of small fishes coming to the coatt has
much diminished. The use ot gun powder
ou whales has removed much of the dan
ger of whale fishing hereto ore experienced.
