AGRICULTURE. DEER AND SHALLOW MILK-PANS. The question, which is the better, deep or shal low pans for cream to rise in, has from time immemorial been debated. The rea son for this tardy settlement of the question is, because a large surface of milk seems, at a glance, a more favorable condition for the cream to rise than a smaller one. So satisfied were we of this, at one time, that we had a number of shallow pans made for the economy of it; but shortly after we commenced using them, having more milk than the shallow pans could hold, the per son who attended the dairy put the surplus milk into deep jars, not having anything else to put it in at the time. This persou, who was perfectly reliable, said the cream rose much better in the deep jars than in the ahallow pans. We replied. "It, 110 doubt, seems so" to her: but from a given quantity of milk, we believe, a larger quantity of cream would rise iu a given time in the shallow pans than in the jars. After several more trials, she satisfied us that the deep jars were best. Now, s we must accommodate the philosophy to the fact, we venture to say that the reason why a deep pan is better, is that specific gravity of water being greater than the cream globubes, and there being more than thirty per cent, of water the globulus are forced up more rapidly in a given quan tity of milk in a deep pan theu they would be iu a shallow one. In other words, if a gallon of muk is put in a jar six inches iu diameter, and the same quantity is put in a jar twelve inches in diameter, the water in the former will force the cream to the surface in much less time than it would iu the latter, in connection with this idea, We will state that the quicker cream rises, the better it is for butter ; indeed, it has been recently proved that cream in some way loses, after it has been rising more than eight hours. Then, as experiments have proved that cream rises more repidly in deep than shallow pans, it follows that they are best for butter-making. THE CROSS OUT SAW. —Ten years exper ience in the use of cross-cut saw has proved to me that I have beeu working under many disadvantages until recently. My wish is for all to know the great advantage of a plan which I pursue. Take a new saw that has never been set place it between two boards cut to fit the saw, clamp It tight on a bench or vice, take an iron wedge tile one corner to suit the set of the tooth whqn finished, then take a small hammer, hold the wedge with the left hand, strike the the tooth lightly with the hammer until at the nght place; then turn the wedge on the opposite side, and on the next tooth and set in the same way; now then you reach the tnird and most important tooth in the saw; leave it perfectly straight; pass on to the fourth tooth and set as you did the first; turn the wedge, set the fifth the other way leave the sixth straight, and so on till you finish. Now take your file, dress the two teeth as you do the common saw; the third file perfectly straight and square, leaving it about onetwentieth part of an inch shorter than the others. Con tinue in that way until yon finish, and you will find that it will cut twice as fast as the old way practiced by most of the farmers. LEANING TREES. —Often in a tine orch ard we find one or more trees leaning over so far as to destroy the beauty of the whole orchard. It is also much more difficult to cultivate around a leaning tree. This may easily be remedied, while the trees are young, by partially digging up and replant ing the tree. The roots will usually be found smallest on the side from which the tree leans, and therefore these roots should be loosened from the earth, the tree set in a perpendicular position, and carefully fasten by stakes or guys, and the earth re placed around the roots. It would be well to add some rich compost to promote their growth. If, as is very probable, the top of the tree has become one-sided, it should be pruned so as to restore the balance. In this way pear trees may be righted up even when six inches through the stem, but the best way is to look after the young trees, and not permit them to depart from the way of uprightness. How MUCH WILL KEEP A HORSE.—A horse weighing from ten to twelve hundred pounds will eat about six tons of hay, or its equivalent, in a year. And we suppose the real point to get at is, whether one can keep his horse cheaper on some other pro duct than hay. This is an exceedingly difficult question to answer—it depends so much on circumstances. We shall not at tempt to answer it fully at this time, but will merely say thot, in our opinion, three and a half tons of cornstalk and two and a half tons of corn would keep a horse a year in fully as good condition jas six tons of hay. We may estimate also, that It will take three and a half tons of oats straw and two and a-haif tons of oats to keep a horse a year. A bushel of oats weighs thirty-two pounds so that it will take over one hundred and fifty-five bushels and three and a half tons of straw to keep a horse a year. It would take about two acres of good land to produce this amount. KEEPING OLD SHEEP. —Although there are few if any domestic animals that pay better than sheep, yet, as is often the case, they are kept when too old to be profitable. At ten years old the horse is in his prime and the cows as good as ever, with the remaining so for sometime long er, but the sheep is very old when it reaches the age of ten years—the natural term ot its life. After reaching this age they are apt to be injured by the least exposure, while young sheep care little about it; the former being more liable to disease, and even if they escape it yield less wool and smaller lambs than when in their prime. Unless in special instances a sheep should never be kept after it becomes six or seven years old. IT is reported that the fall of an inch of rain upoD an acre, weighs over 100 tons. This fact will serve to convey some idea of the immense amount of water which is ab sorbed by the land yearly. Usually there is about thirty inches of rain and melted snow per year, which would be over 3,000 tons per acre. All this water contains amonia, which is one of most valuable fer tilizer to promote the growth of crops. It is estimated that about nine to twelve pounds of nitrogen in the form of amonia and ni tric acid, are contained in the water which falls upon each acre of surface yearly. Thus is the land enriched by the rain and snow. PURSLANE is a weed which every one is desirous to get rid of, and at the same time it is one of the most nutritive plants raised, either on a farm or in a garden. When once started it is a most rapid grower, crowding out everything else, and it is most prolifie of seeds; few plants, however, are so rich in gelatine. Ii is an excellent feed for swine. A FUEL which is becoming very popular in England, and which costs less than half as much as coal, is compressed peat. It has been used for some time on an impor tant English railroad, with the best results. It is said that 21 pounds of peat will raiße steam for a mile of transit, while of coal 26 pounds are required to do the same work. A LARGE amount of discomfort may be saved during the summer months by the employment of oil-stoves for the prepara tion of light dishes for the tabie. The amount of heat produced by these stoves is small, and as the dame comes in immediate contact with the vessels in which water is boiled or dishes cooked, but little heat is diffused in the room. The fire iu an oil stove is kindled and extinguished instantly, so that a room is not warmed by the heat produced before or after it is employed for cooking or laundry purposes. The use of ice during the summer saves a large amount of cooking. With an ice-box or refrigerator, meat, pastry ami mauy other articles pre pared for the table may be kept several days iu good condition. No persou desires to eat food or to drink fluids that are of the same temperature as the surrounding air. To be grateful to the taste they must be considerable warmer or cooler, and it gen erally matters little in which condition they are. Tea is very insipid when it is at the same temperature as the air in summer, but it is grateful to the taste when heated to a hundred degrees or cooled by means of ice. Much labor and discomfort are saved by the use of ice iu summer iu the preserva tion and preparation of articles of food and drink. Arbors covered with twiuiug and flowering vines and fltted up with seats do much to render the premises comforta ble during the summer. They cau Le em ployed for settiug the table iu, or used when the inmates of the house are engaged in light work or reading. Men also prefer an arbor to a room iu tlie house when they are resting at noon or night. ODD SCRAPS. —To improve old potatoes, lay them in cold water for half an hour before cooking. To make them mearly, pare off a ring of the skiu, then throw them iuto fast-boiliug salt water-a tablespoonful of salt to a quart of water. Cook until just done, then drain off all the water, lay a folded towel over the top, and set the kettle on the back of the stove, where it will not scorch. They will be ready to serve in ten minutes, but may stand a little longer without injury. To make tough beefsteak tender, lay it in a mixture of oil and vinegar—three tabiespooufuls of the former to one of the latter. Leave it six hours iu ttiis preparation, turning it as often as convenient, or, it may be lett three or four hours on one side and turn over, to remain ou the other side all night. The steak will lo : e noue of its juices, neither will the flavor be materially changed, but the fiber will be softened, To cook rice so that the grains will be whole aud tender, wash it in cold water until the water looks clear, then cook it rapidly in boiling salted water for fifteen minutes, after which drain aud place the covered sauce pau ou the hack of the stove to steam until the grains crack open and are tender, which will be in about fifteen miuutes longer. A thin coat of vurnish applied to straw mat ting will keep it fresh looking aud dui able. Be sure to use white varnish for white mat ting. A very thin coat of varnish will also preserve oil cloth. It must be carefully scrubbed preparatory to varnishing, aud at other times washed with skim milk. To BLEACH CLOTH. —Into eight quarts of warm water put one pound of chloride of lime; stir with a stick a few minutes, then strain through a bag of coarse muslin, working it with the hand to dissolve thor oughly. Add to this five bucketfuls of warm water, stir it well and put in the muslin. Let it remain in one hour, turning it constantly that every part may get thor oughly bleached. When taken out, wash wdl in two waters to remove the lime, rinse and dry. This quantity will bleach twenty-five yards of yard wide muslin. The muslui wilt bleach evenly and quickly if it has been thoroughly wet and dried before bleaching. CEMENT FOR LEATHER. —One who has tried everything says that after an experi ence of fifteen years he lias found nooiing to equal the following as a cement for leather belting. Common glue and isin glass, equal parts, cooked lor ten hours in just enough water to cover them. Bring gradually to a boiling heat and add pure tannin until the whole becomes ropy or ap pears like the white of an egg. Bull off the surface to be joined, apply this cement, and clamp firmly. CHEAP PAlNT. —Three huudred parts washed and sieved white sand, forty parts of precipitated chalk, fifty parts of rosin and four parts of linseed oii are mixed and boiled in an iron kettle and then one part of oxide of copper and one part of sulphuric acid are added. This mass is applied with an ordinary paint brush while warm. If it is too thick, it is diluted with linseed oil. This paint dries very rapidly and gets very hard, but protects woodwork excellently. To REMOVE OLD PAINT FROM WOOD.— Essence of ammonia and oxalic acid in equal quantities. Dilute the above in water, having it strong enough to remove the paint, apply the above with a sponge or rag, and follow up with a putty knife. The stronger the solution, the quicker will the paint come off. GREASE. —White goods, wash with soap or alkaline lyes. Colored cottons wash lukewarm soap lyes. Colored woolens, the same, or ammonia. Silks, absorb with French chalk or fuller's earth, and dissolve away with benzine or ether. BE sure that the corn you plant has a good pedigree. Pedigree in seed is of as much importance as pedigree in horses and cattle. Buy it from none but reliable seed stores, though it may cost you a few cents more a bushel; it will amount to but lit tle in the end. You can get a bottle or a barrell of oil off of any carpet or wooleD stuff by apply ing dry buckwheat plentifully and faith fully. Never put water or liquid of any kind to such a grease-spot. To OBTAIN a glossy skin : Pour upon a pint of bran sufficient boiling water to cover it. Let it stand until cold and then bathe the face with it, only patting the skin with a soft to well to dry It. To TAKE IRON STAINS OUT OF MARBLE.— An equal quantity of spirits of vitrol and lemon juice being mixed in a bottle, shake well, wet the spots arfd in a few minutes rub with soft linen till they disappear. ALIZARINE INKS. —White goods, tartaric acid, the more concentrated the older are the spots. On colored cottons and woolens, and on silks, dilute tartaric acid is applied, cautiously. No HOUSEKEEPER should put quicksilver on her bedsteads. The mineral is absorbed by those sleeping upon them, causing paral ysis and many other serious and fatal dis eases. LINSEED oil is the best substance to coat eggs with, for the purpose of preserving them and preventing the evaporation of their watery elements. MATTER ADHERING MECHANICALLY.— Beeting, brushing, and currents of water either on the upper or under side. HUMOROUS. A WEALTHY lady, who had passed the middle age without marrying, one day took to heiself a husband, to the great surprise of her friends. When the excitement oc casioned by the event hail partially sub sided, a neighbor ventured to ask an ex planation of the unexpected freak, and re ceived the following reply: "You see, I kept a large house and employed live ser vant girls. I contended agaiust them sin gle-handed for a long time, but finally real ized that if 1 wished to retaiu posession of my home I would huve tu call iu reinforce ments.

IN Oslikosh lived a fair maiden who had read with some alarm of the death of an Indiana woman from tight lacing, the im mediate cause being an affection of the epigastrium. When her lover called that evening, and the light had been turned down as usual, she said to him frankly; "Now 1 want you to be careful, Eugeue; you're worse than a corset." Eugene fal tered out; "Oh. Alary, why this coldness?" " It isn't coldness at all," she replied, "but you hug so tight >ou knock my epigastrium all out of kilter.

Nl> A foronto, Ont. g I The Bennihg of Glaus Tubing.— Wheu glass tubes are not too wide they may be easily bent over a common gas jet. A burner, made by attaching a lava tip (such as now as are now commonly used in illumiuatiug burners) to the stand or base of the ordinary Hunseu burner, will be found convenient. The tube is held hori zontally in the tlame in such a manner us to be entirely surrounded by the flame, and so all possible draughts are avoided and the flume does not flicker. The tube is soon covered with carbon; then it becomes glowing, and bends, in consequence of the weight of its free end, in an even and uni form manner, without making any wrinkles inside the bend or angle. Wide tubes are flist tilled with sand, and then suspended over a broad flame burner. A broad tube with flattened end, which exactly tits the Buuseu burner, may easily be produced. Thin glass tubes may be bent in the flame of a simple spirit-lamp, but it they ure at all thick a lkrzeliuH lamp becomes re quisite. In this case the Jubc must be held across the flame, tor then it would become heated in two places and remain cold in the center (t. e., between). It is, therefore, nest to bold it tangent to the flame. It it does not Ixyid freely, it is well to assist in the operation with the hand, by Blightly pressing the free end IU the desired direc tion. This operation requires a certain amouut of skill and dexterity in order to prevent the formation of wrinkles on the interior surface of the bend. These wrinkles not ouly offend the eye, but so contract the tube that a free current of the gas is pre vented, and, in case of distillation, etc., condensable products are caught in the cracks, and the experiment is spoiled.
