RAILROAD DOORS FOR BARNS. These doors are far superior to the old fashioned doors, which rerolvo on hinge*.— They are opened and closed by means of a rail and several small iron trucks securely at tached to the top, and are so constructed as not only to close the door effectually against the ingress of raio, snow and cold air, but to be very durable and in every respect efficient. Large doors are formed by ons ineh matched boards, placed perpendienlarly, and crossed by matched etripe of the same in a diagonal direction, or from corner to corner on both aides. These strips are so put on as to repre sent the sheathing often seen on tine houses, being about >ix inches wide and covering the entire surface. It will be seen at once that three thieknesses of matched boards.securely nailed aDd thoroughly pinned, besides being eo hung as to obviate effectually all possi bility of tagging, as is the case with doors of ordinary construction and the workmanship when hung in the usual way must secure an article of great efficiency and of an almost indestructible character. The labor of opening and closing these doors may be per formed by the merest boy, and in windy weather they are not slamming and endanger ing not only their owu fastening and fixtures bit the lives, also of all by whom I hey are approached. The old fashion of placing the trucks at the bottom is anything but deaira ble, as the former is likely to become clogged by suow and ice ; but when it is placed at the top,no obstruction can possibly intervene from this source ; the door glides easily along the rail, and never requires to bo forced open by main strength. Small doors for tis ups, sheds, out houses, sod other similar buildings are constructed in a similar way. They are uiuch cheaper than pannel doors, to which they are preferable for all purposes where atrongth and durability are required.—Ger mantown Telegraph. OYSTERS.—An exchange says : "We sup pose that sine out of ten housekeepers will contradict us point blank, in a statement that nine out of ten of them do not know how to etew a dish of oysters. By the ovd.ewry routine that nearly every one follows, evMrer the oysters are steered and shrivelled out of all semblance of themselves in shape, size and flavor, or else the soup and "thickening" has a raw taste tbat spoils it. Here is the right method. Try it onoe, and we'll war rant you won't need telling the second time Pick the oysters out of the juice with a fork, as dry as possible : stew the juice, thicken ing, milk or water, of which the soup is to be made, until thoroughly cooked ; then drop the oysters in, and just as the cooled soup begins to show signs of simmering, empty out A!) together, and you will have rich soup and plump oysters, luscious enough to make you think you never tasted nul oysters before. USEFUL IIIKTS Wood ashes and common salt wet with water will soak the cracks of a 6tove and prevent the smoke from escaping. Stir Poland starch with a common candle and it will not stick to the iron, and it will be much nicer. Alum.pr vinegar is good to 6et colors of ted, green or yellow. Sal soda will bleach very white ; one spoon ful is enough for a ksttle of clothes. Wash your tea trays with cold suds, polish with a little flour and rub with a dry cloth. Frozan potatoes make more starch than fresh ones ; they also make nice cake. A hot shovel held over varnished furniture will take out white spots. A bit of glue dissolved in skim milk and water will restore crape. Ribbons of any kind should be washed in cold soap suds and not rinaed. If your flat irons are rough,rub them with fine salt, and it will make them smooth. ASH RECEPTACLES.—Anthony M. Carson, Clark Co., Ohio, writes to the Agriculturist describing an ash receptacle called "Hall's Ash House," which appears to consist of a hopper with a aicve at the bottom, forming the top of the iron-lined, wooden ash holder, which may be uaed as a leach tub as well.— When the ashes are leached, by undoing four hooks tho box may be taken off from the ash es and set up again. The idea seems to be a good one, and such an ash receptacle would not be difficult of construction. Mr. Hal! may have a patent for it, but if he does not enable the public -to buy it, he must risk peo ple making use of his ideas. LIME FOR CABBAGES.—"Gardener," who lives on "sand prairie" land in Illinois and can get no stable manure, wishes to use lime as a substitute on his cabbage fields,— Lime is properly no substitute for anitnal manure, yet it may be, and probably will be an excellent application for this crop. As a rule, on pretty good land lime alone with good culture will probably insure a fair crop of cabbages. Salt is useful also, and an ex cellent application is lime slaked with a etrong brine. At many at fhis season suffer Irorn chap ped hands, we publish the following remedy, which is said to be excellent: Take three drachms gum camphor, three do. white beeswax, three do. spermaceti, and two ounces olive oil, Put them together in a cup on the 6tove, where they will melt alowly and form a white ointment in a few minutes. If the bands be affected, annoint tbem on going to bed, and put ou a pair of gloves. A day or two will suffice to heal them. Large grains of wheat, soaked in turpen tine, for six hours, given to chickens with the "gapes" is said to be a certain core- The turpentine 'sills the worms, wh'ch are the cf the gapes, and they are coughed up UJistrllaiwntHf.
