PRESERVATION OF SHINGLE RO FS. —Shin- gles, when ever they ore exposed to dampness from the interior of the building, or when ever they do not dry rapidly after rains, as under tree?, ote., become water soaked, decay more or less, become overgrown with moss, which protects them from the drying influ ences of the sun and air, and the result is they soon decay and go to pieces. This re sult occurs in barns, because the hay and breath of cattle produce a moist atmosphere within, which rises to the roof; and in what ever wav it happens, away to prevent it is most desirable. KVANIZINO —If shingles before being put I on are soaked in a solution of one pound blue j vitriol, or an equal amount of chloride of zinc,! (and in fact several other metallic salts will ! answer,) in four or five gallons of water, moss : will not grow upon them, nor will they rot. — How long they will last no body knows, lat we can safely presume they will not last for ever, though we have heard say they a ill. Painting shingle roofs is of little or no use, unless they are painted when they are put on, j and each course painted over and the whole ; upper surface ; this is very effective. Liming roofs is recommended as nearly, or ! quite equal to this ai d applicable to old roofs blacked lime should be sprinkled on thickly • over the whole roof, on rainy days after the i roof is soaked. Sprinkle more at the ridge than at the eaves, but evenly over all. A writer in the Rural Intclligir.ur gives bis ex- i perienee thus: " Put it on considerably thick, so as to make tlm tool look white, and you never will | be troubled with moss ; and if the shingles arc covered ever so thick with moss, by put- ! ting the lnne on twice, it will take all the moss I off, and leave the roof white and clean, and I will look almost as well as if it had been pain | ted. It ought to be done once a year, and, in ! inv opinion, the shingles wiil last almost twice 1 as long as they will to let the roof all grow over to moss. I tried it on the back side of my house, ten years ago, when the shingles j were ai! covered with moss, and they appeared j to be nearly rotten. I gave the roof a heavy ; coat of lime, and have followed it nearly every : year since then, and the roof is better now than it was then ; and, to ali appearance, if I follow this course, it nil last ten or fifteen' years longer. The shingles have been on the | roof over thirty years. There is no more risk j about sparks catching on the roof than on a newly shingled roo f . Those that do not have j lime near by, can use good strong wood ashes, and these will answer a very good purpose to the same end."— Homestead. TREATMENT OF MUCK IN THF STABLE AND AFTERWARDS. —Of all methods of using muck, i which we have tried, we are l>c-n pleased with it os-an article of bedding for cattle.— This, we think the best and most rapid way j of manufacturing it into manure. In addi- ; tion to the liquid manure and a portion of tin eolid which it receives, it has the heat of the j animal while lying down, and I Irs, with well ; fed cattle is n large part of the time. It has ail the qualities of n good bed, dryness, so't ness, cleanliness, until it becomes saturated! with nnne, when it is time to throw it out,and ; put ;n a new charge. An allowance of a half cord to the animal, w:!i become saturated in ; about two weeks, if the stall be occupied ail : the while. A correspondent asks if the mnck should bo ■ taken from the stable to the compost heap, ci te the field, for plowing in ? Either is a safe practice. We are governed entirely by eir- ' cumstances,iu the disposition of the uiuckafte: j it leaves the stable. In the Spring, during ! the planting season, we fork it over, make it 1 as fine as possible, and plow it in. Nothing 1 is lost by this method. It not wanted for im- ; mediate use, we remove it with the solid drop-1 pings of the cattle to the compost heap,where j we mix it with two or three times its bulk of ! muck or peat. It undergoes fermentation,and becomes a more valuable manure, we have no doubt, than that taken directly from the sta bles. The ammonia is more equally distributed i through the mass, there is more of it, and it is in a much finer condition. But the labor j of handling is considerable. Which ever course is pursued, wo always think money i* | made about as fast as a farmer can expect, when he is handling muck. We are confident the man who follows it up ten years, will come to the same conclusion. — THE NEW ENGLAND CATTLE DISEASE. —The ; cattle disease which created so much alarm and anxiety in portions of Masschusetts the j latter part ot last winter appears to have | entirely disappeared even in the infected uis ] tricts. The Boston Traveler says that when the disease ceased its ravages early in summer, many predicted that it would reappear in An gnst and September, with the coming cold j nights and cold rains. This was predicted j with the more confidence ns that lias been the experience with the disease in Holland. But j August and September have come and gone, i and we are now in the last days of October, j bat the fearful anxiety of the cattle raisers ol the State, not one case of tlie disease ha> come to light— not one symptom lias been dis- I covered. The opinion begins to prevail either that there was an unnecessary alarm upon the j subject or that by the thorough manner in which the Commissioners acted, the disease has been exterminated, cut up, root and branch. It is yet to early to be fully assured upon this point but certainly there is reason to hope that the dreaded calamity has been avoided. TEACHING PIGS TO EATSl.OW—Acorrespon dent of the New-England Farmer says : I'igs should be early taught to eat slowly, for the advantage of the pig, as well as of the owner. Nothing is easier. Give the weaned pig, at 6to 8 weeks old—in a clean trough— half u tea cop of dry shorts or bran, and alter his dry food is ali eaten, give his drink, and in crease the drv food according to the age and appetite, till three months old ; then add one half Indian meal for two months, and then dry Indian meal, till fattened sufficiently. This plan has been followed for five years with de cided success. To GET RID OF RED ANTS IN CLOSETS Throw some twigs of tomato vines on the shelves ; or let the shelves be made of black walnut. Either will drive them awav so at least say writers in the Country Gentleman. FROSTING FOR CAKE —Beat to a froth the white of one egg, add tcu heaping teasjtoons ful of pulverized white sugar. This will do for ooe- loaf baked in a tw o quart basin. jtlfscrUaiteous. Sasquejjamra (EoHcjjiaJt Institute, TO IV AND A, BRADFORD CO., FA. FACULTY: OLIVER S.DEAX.
