HINT ON MILKING COWS. —A tnatl Who
had done his own milking employed a boy
to do it; he shrunk the milk one third in
two weeks. The owner resumed the milk
ing and in two weeks got the same as be
fore. Afterward he set a hired man to
milk, and he sunk the milk 10 per cent, in
two weeks: and in two weeks more, the
owner milking again, got as much as be
fore. This man does the work quickly
and milks very clean. He closes the fore
finger and thumb around the teat high up,
and makes a downward motion, tightening
the grip and forcing out the milk; then lets
go his hold, keeping the thumb and finger
in circle, carries up the hand and presses
it smartly against the udder, aud closes
and pulis down as before, and so repeats
until done. The philosophy, if any, is to
give as near as may be the same motion
that the calf does in sucking. Many a
good cow is partially despoiled of her good
qualities in consequence of beiug improp
erly milked.
Cows that are in milk should be watched
and given extra feed so soon as signs of a
falling off are seen. It is very difficult to
increase the flow after a sliriukage occurs.
So soon as the pasture begins to get short,
supplement the feed of the field by a ration
of green corn fodder in the yard or stall.
Many cows suffer from excessive heat,
being exposed the wholh day through the
hot sun m a treeless yasture. A pasture
should afford a comfortable place, as well
as furnish food for the animals, that the
greatest profit may be obtained.
PIGS profit by a good run in clover, or
fresh grass. T hey are naturally clean an
imals, and only become "pigs" when they
have mire and mud holes for a run. Young
pigs that are designed for the early winter
market should be pushed now by extra
feed. A rapid gjtiwth at, this time will
make much difference in the profit of keep
ing pigs. Pig pork is the best, and young
pigs of an early maturing breed should,
thereior, be fattened from the start. Sour
milk is not enough for them; add grain
feed in liberal quantities.
CLOVER SEEP IN AT TTMN. —A Pennsyl
vania /armer who has tried it, recommends
that when the spring sowing of clover seed
does not "catch" owing to drouth or other
causes, that sowing clover seed upon the
stubble in August, or early September,
will generally repair the damage, either
with or without harrowing in, although
harrowing is the most reliable practice.
The cost of the extra seed is but a trifle
compared with changing the proper rota
tion of crops established upon every well
regulated farm.
IF feathered stock is rightly managed
diseases of fowls will be comparatively
rare. Breeding "in snd in," or breeding
"clcse'* even, is productive of more delica
cies of constitution than most poultry keep
ers are aware of. It is bad business to be
fussing with sick fowls. Better breed
right.
SHORTS are an excellent fertilizer for po
tatoes. Dampened and put in the hill they
produce a goon crop bnd of very smooth
tubes. They do not cost any more per
acre than a good many superphosphates,
and contain as much phosphoric acid, pot
ash aud nitrogen as some of the best fer
tilizers.
WATCH for black knot on the bearing
plum trees, aud cut it out ou the first ap
pearance. Trees may be thus kept clear
of this excrescence as easily as the soil is
cultivated. By neglect, it becomes incur
able. -
THE follhwing may be accepted as an
approximate to the average quantities of
milk given by the different breeds of cows:
Fiatives produce annually 1794 pounds;
Jersey, 382 C; Ayrshire 4300; Holstein,
1527.
ASHES are, for many soils, a standard
fertilizer. Places where a tree or brush
heap has been burned often show the ef
fects of the manuring for years. It is an
old saying: "The land never forgets ash
es."
IT does net require beavy pastures for
sheep. They aie great foragers, and weeds,
leaves, and even stubble enter into their
bill of fare. They equal the goat in that
respect. *
Death from a Hush Fire.
Martin McCarthy, with four of his sons,
left their thatched homestead in the Hun
dred of Hunker to reap the wheat which
stood ripe for the sickle at a distance of
about a mile.
They nottced a bush fire about a dozen
miles off. but, as the wind was in
the opposite direction, they thought noth
ing of it, and went on reaping till dinner
time.
Immediately after that meal, which they
took in the field, the wind veered round,
and, rising to a hurricane, swept the fire
down upon their farm. Desperately plung
ing through the blinding smoke, they bare
ly succeeded in gaining a clearing 100
yards distant before huge tongues of fire
fifty feet high rushed past them, roaring
and hissing as they licked up every vestige
of vegetation in their course,
When the flames had subsided, McCar
thy, followed by his boys, hastened with
terrible forebodings across the plain, to
see if any of his family had been spared.
As he ran toward the chimney, which
alone remained to mark the site of his dwel
ling, he stumbled over the charred corpse
of his wife.
A little further on was the body of his
7-year-old boy, and round the cniinney lay
the remains of his five da ighters.
The eldest, a girl of 19, clasped in her
arms the youngest, a baby of 2 yeai 8 old.
Accustomed as the colonists are to bush
fires, this unusual holocaust cast a gloom
over the neighborhood.
The Inect Population.
In 1849, Alexander von Humboldt esti
mated the number of species of insects
preserved in collections, at between 150,-
000 and 170,000; Europe alone being rep
resented by more than three times as many
species of insects as of phanerogamous
plants. Ten years ago Dr. Gerstacker
estimated the number of species of insects
to be 225,000, five times as mauy as tfie
known species of all other classes of ani
mals together. If we assume that there
exists in the whole world only three times
as many insects as there are phaneroga
mous plants—the latest estimation of which
approaches 225,000 —we arrive at the
startling sum of abomt 760,000. Bewil
dering as this estimate appears it is proba
bly too low. The oak alone gives shelter
and support to 450 species of insects, and
the pine to more than 500, and one moth
alone has 35 different species of parasites.
Without g >ing further In our calculations
we may safely assert that if the number of
species of all other classes of animals
should be doubled by new discoveries,
(which is rather probable for some classes
and impossible for the vertebrates), the
number of species of insects would be
more than five times that of all other ani
mals taken together.

COLORING CARPET RAGS, —For Red, take
1 ounce of cochineal for each pound of
goods; soak 24 hours in warm soft water;
when dissolved, heat the solution and add
while heating 1 oz. of solution of tin ; wet
the goods in hot water and put in the hot
solution, and scald for one hour. Take out
the goods, dry them and then rinse in clear,
cold water. Use a clean brass kettle for
heating the dye. For Brown, take for 20
pounds of goods, 4 lbs. of japonic*, 6 oz.
sulphate of copper in crystals, and 9 oz.
bichromate of potash; take water enough
to cover ike goods; bod it with the japouica
until this is dissolved ; add the copper sul
phate, putm the goods and leave them 12
hours. Then wring them out; dissolve tho
bichromate of potash in boiling water; put
in the goods and stir them well for 15 min
utes ; then air and wash them; beat the
japouica agaiii and put in the goods for 12
hours more ; wring them and put them in
the bichromate solution boiling hot. Then
wash in hot soap suds. Cotton rags should
be dyed first aud tbeu the woolen ones may
be put through the dye. For Yellow, use
Ilb of fustic chips with 3\ oz. alum to 2
pouuds of rugs, Steep the fustic for 12
hours iu hot water; put iu the goods and
soak until the color is deep enough. For
Blue, ou wooleu use solution of iudigo add
ing the dye, a tablespoouful at a time, uutil
the oolor is deep enough. For cotton take
China blue, 2 oz. and 1 oz. of oxalic acid ;
soak the blue 12 hours in a tin pail; dissolve
the acid iu an earthen bowl and add it to
the blue. Ileal to boiling, but do not boil.
Put in the goods, and let litem stay 2 hours;
dry them, rinse aud dry again in the shade.
For Green, put the yellow goods through
the blue dye. Or for cotton, put the blue
goods through a solution of i lb. of sugar of
lead aud 1 lb. of bichromate of potash each
made separately; tho goods are dipped
from one to the other until the shade suits.
For Orange, put the yellow goods into a
weak red dye until tie shade is deep enough.
Slate and Dove colors are made by boiling
4 oz. of coarse black tea in an iron pot with
a teaspoouful of copperas and sufficient soft
water to cover the goods. To get the best
colors without streakiuess let the goods be
well covered and every thing be perfectly
free from grease.
AMERICAN patchwork, known by the
name ot "loghouse quilting" in Cantula, has
quite recently been introduced into Eng
land. It is a variety of patchwork into
which strips of colored ribbon are intro
duced. The pieces forming the design are
not separately sewn together, as in ordinary
patchwork, but a five-inch foundation
square of calico is provided, in the centre
of whieh a small one an iuch and a quarter
square, of piece silk or satin, is tacked.
Hound this a narrrow ribbon is run, four
lows being required to fill up the founda
tion square. This narrow, nbboa is selected
of different shades and colors and is so ar
ranged that on two sides of the centre
square it is of a light shade, on the other
two dark (managed by only taking each
shade of ribbon half way round the centre )
Several of these five inch squares are form
ed, and they are then sewn together like
ordinary patchwork pieces and made up so
that the light side of one square is next the
light side of the next square, and the dark
next the dark, giving the look of alternate
squares of light and dark colors. The effect
of this work depends upon the judicious
selection of the narrow ribbon as to its
shades of color and their contrasts with
each other. The centre square of piece
sdk should alwaws be dark, but not black.
To CLEAN A ROOM OF MOSQUITOES. —
These tuneful httle pets are beginning their
nocturnal songs, and any one who is both
ered by them should cut out and save the
following receipt, furnished by a corres
pondent, for their extermination : "Take
of gum of camphor a piece about one-third
the size of an egg, and evaporate it by plac
mg it in a tin vessel, holding it over a lamp
or candle, taking care that it does not ig
nite. The smoke will soon fill the room
and expel the mosquitos. One night when
I was terribly annoyed by them, 1 thought
of and tried the above, after which I never
saw or heard them that night, and in the
morning there was not one to be found in
the room though the window had been left
open all night.
CAKE. — Here are two receipes cake,
which are nice to have on the table at the
same time: For the first, which we cali
familiary Tirza's cake, take two cups of
sugar, one cup of butter, half a cup of milk,
three and a half cups of flour, the whites of
several eggs, two teaspoonsful of baking
powder; flavor with lemon. This will be
as light as a feather, and the quantities here
given will make two small loaves. For the
second, which is a spice cake, take two
eggs, half a cup of butter, one cup of sug
ar, half a cup of molasses, half a cup of
milk, two cups of flour, one cup of raisiiia
(chopped fine), one cup of currants, one
nutmeg, one teaspoonfui of cloves, two of
cinnamon and two of baking powder.
CHEAP VARNISH FOR FURNITURE.— Into a
pint of turpentine put as much powdered
rosin as the turpentine will dissolve (say
one pound of rosin to the pint), but no
matter how thick you make it, as it can be
thinned with turpentine as you require to
use it. lifts will not dry for a long time
unless you add some dryers, say a gill ef
Japan dryers to the pint of varnish. If,
after varnishing a small place over night
it feels sticky next day, it requires more
diycrs. Since shellac has become so
expensive, thiß kind of varnish is mostly
used for furniture.
ANT person may paint a wooden mantle
piece, etc., and obtain the effect of elabor
ate marble painting by the following method
fir t give the wood two coats of white paint
and when the second coat is neatly dry tike
a piece of French chalk, any color you may
prefer, and with this draw lines and veins
—this requires no skill, as the more rudely
they are drawn, the more closely will re
semble the natural markings—then give a
coat of thin white paint. Into this, chalk
will work up, and the lines will assume the
softened and graduated effect seen in real
marble. A glossy surface may be given by
an after coat of copal varnish.
How TO DISSOLVE INDIA RUBBER.— The
usual and cheapest solvents of India rub
ber are naptba and turpentme, and these
will keep the india-rubber in solution so long
as they are not exposed to the air, but, of
course, being spirits, on exposure in small
quantities the spirits leave the india-rubber.
These solutions are used to cement hose and
pipes of leather, etc. If india-rubber be
literally melted in an oven, at about 210 or
220 degrees of heat, it will not return to a
solid state.
IRON- RUST, it is said, may be removed by

application several times.
To POLISH THE WORK OF PEARL.— Rub

HUMOROUS.
LAST week atair but fickle maiden of the
blue grass regiou, Ky., said "Yes" to two
persisteut suitors. The two would be hus
bands met at the bouse ot the pretty double
dealer provided with marriage licenses.
Did the swains Tilow each other to atoms
with double-barreled shot-guus, or perfor
ate each other with big bullets from large
revolvers? Nothing of the kind. They
simply compel led the coquette to accept
one of them, with the, to her, horrible un
derstanding that the rejected one, instead
of goiug out to commit suicide for love of
her, was to have tho name in one of the
licenses altered s*os toouablohim to marry
a maiden across tho way, a haled rival, too.
Instead of a double shooting there was a

An invention has just been made by a
firm of German gun manufactors which
promises to add very greatly to the pow
er of artillery. Hitherto the fear of pre
mature explosions during the transport or
filling of shells has prevented any large em
ploy mem of niiro-glycerine, and certain
other extremely violent but easily inflam
mable explosives, for the ourpose of charg
ing them. It is claimed for the new inven
tion thai it will enable such substances to
be used without danger. The interior of
the shell is divided into a number of cells,
whicb are to contain substances non ex
plosive in themselves, but which, when
combined, form u powerful explosive. The
walls of the cells must therefore be broken
up before an explosive cfcarge is formed
within the shells ; and the inventor pro
poses to make these partitions of such
strength that, while they will withstand
ordinary jolting, they will be shattered by
the shock to which a projectile is subjected
when tired from a gun.
' * A new life-saving appliance has been re
cently invented by Mr. Bherwell of Ports
mouth, England, which may prove of
widespread utility. The invention is de
signed to serve the double object of a bell
buoy, indicating the presence of a danger
ous shoal, and a refuge for shipwreck mari
ners to swim to when it would be impossi
ble for a lifeboat to reach them. It is re
presented as a flat-bottomed, bell-mounted
vessel, on which is erected an octagonal
dome capable of accommodating a ship's
crew, access to which is gained by means
of ladders fitted to the gunwale. Mr. Bher
well is the maker of several buoys; and his
new invention has been highly approved
by the expert and naval authorities to whom
it was submitted. As such a contrivance
can be moored at well-known and the most
dangerous shoals where many vessels have
foundered and many more may be expect
ed to founder, its simplicity, accessibility
to drowning seaman and its effectiveness
as a warning will commend it for use on
other besides the English coasts.

How Can I Express My Thanks ?
Mrs. Meeks, of Yorkville, New York, writes.
It affords me great pleasure to wr.te these few
lines to let the public know the value of Ana
kesis, the great External Pile Ilemedv. I have
suffered the last 14 years everything but
death; in that time I have spent hundreds of
dollars. I have tried everything I ever heard
of; I have had four different doctors, but
found very little relief. I at last heard of Ana
kesis; I tried tbem and in one honr's time I
found relief and have not been troubled with
them since. How can I express my thanks to
you? No tongue can praise them too highly,
and I would say to all those who are afflicted
with Piles Hemorrhoids or fissures, internal
or external, give Anakesis a trial and you will
no longer be a sufferer.
