Tiox. It is becoming a Berioaa ques
tion whether or not the State agricul
tural colleges have been the benefit to
agriculture that was expected of them.
Our own State College was located in
an out-of-the-way place, and those who
manage it are not to blame if the inxti
tution has not done as much as some
others have done. But none of them
have made much of a mark. Even the
Massachusetts College, which has been
very much praised for its good man
agement, is a failure so far as the agri
cultural objects are concerned. The
college is well attended, and turns out
a fair number of students, who are all
as intelligent and well finished as any
other colli ge can boast ; but the stu
dents are not farmers, nor have any
idea of being such. It is stated, on
what appears to be good authority,
that only ten students educated here
have taken to farming as their occupa
tion all the others have followed some
other pursuit in life. If it can be said
that the Pennsylvania State College
has comparatelv few students, it is not
much worse than having students pass
by the objects for which they were spe
cially educated.
Still the utility of these institutions
can hardly be measured by the number
of men who take to farming on leaving
school. The elements of agriculture
are taught in them as they are not
taught in other places, and the knowl
edge often comes into us when not ex
pected. Large numbers of people who
take to professional pursuits leave the
city for farm life at some time or another
of their lives ; and those among them
who may have had the early advantage
of an agricultural college education
will profit thereby.
For all this we confess to a feeling
that these colleges have not come up to
the public expectation. The agricultu
ral newspaper has, in a measure, antic
ipated the field they attempted to oc
cupy. There is scarcely a farm of any
spirit for enterprise in the management,
which does not have one or more of
these admirable teachers. What is
read can be at once practically tested,
and thus theoretical and practical in
struction is within the reach of alL
To Make Ciieb. Pick all the apple,
rejecting those not sound, wash them
clean, and afterwards let them lie, and
get dry. Grind and press them, using
no water, straw or any other substance
that will give the cider an uupleasaut
taste, as on the purity and cleanliness
of the apples deiend the quality of the
cider. Strain the juice through a
woolen or other close bag, put into
clean barrels, an I set in a moderately
cool place, keeping the barrel full ail
the time, so that the impurities may
work off at the bung. After it is done
fermenting carefully rack it off, let it
stand a few da vs, and bung it up. As
the air tends to sour the cider, it is a
good plan to provide a bent tube, one
end fastened in the bung and the other
todropintoa bucket of water. This
will let all the gas off, and not let the
air gut to the cider. The quicker the
Kmace is pressed after being ground
the lighter will the color be, and darker
if not pressed for twenty four hours af
ter being ground. The cider from the
second and third pressing will be the
richest, the reverse in the case in ma
king wine, as a severe pressure on the
mash makes sour wine. Cider-making
should be conducted with all the care
that wine making is. Almost any sour
apple will make cider, but more gener
ally an apple full of juice, and not very
good to eat, will make the best. To
get good cider very strong, expose it in
a tub in extremely cold water.
Ashfs As Food Fob Cattle. The
Lire Slock Journal has a correspon
dent who found his cattle given to the
habit of eating wood, chewing bones,
etc They became thin in flesh, re
fused to eat hny, and presented a siukly
appearance. He had no impression
that their food lacked the constituents
of making bone ; and his neighbors
used one meal witiiout noticing any
good results whatever. At last he put
about four bushels of leached ashes in
his banu-yard and threw out a shovel
ful each day.
They all ate with evident relish. Af
ter turning them out to pasture, he put
one peck of dry ashes per week on the
ground in the pasture. They ate it all
and gnawed off the grass where it had
leen lying. The cattle began to im
prove, gaining flesh and looking better
than they had done for several years.
He says this morbid appearance was
unnoticed years ago, from the fact that
the ground was new and ashy from the
burning of the woods and land clear
ings. Since this discovery he gives one
quart of as lies mixed with one quart of
salt to twelve heal of cattle about once
a week.
Bonk as Mantbr. The bones of all
animal creation are composed of three
substances : phosphoric acid, lime, and
gelatin or glue three of the best fer
tilizing substances to produce good
seed. But where do the bones of ani
mals come from ? Certainly from the
soil, through the grass, hay, grain, 4c.,
consumed as food. Therefore every
horse, bullock, cow, sheep and hog
sent off the farm without returning a
like quantity of lone to the earth,
causes our land to yield less and less
every year, till the land tieeomes what
is termed wrn out. Besides, every
load of hay and every bushel of grain
sold off the farm carries away the same
material, as it is the hay and grain that
make the bones of our cattle, horses,
etc.
Five per cent, of all plants are com
posed of ten mineral substances of
which bone forms a large pirt and
which comes directly from the earth,
while the fat of animals is comiroscd of
carbon, oxygen ami hydrogen, three of
the gases that plants take exclusively
from the air, in the form of carbonic
acid and water, and which constituted
about 91 per cent, of all plants.
To Destroy Lice. There is no re
ally effective method of destroying lice
upon any animal witnont oil or grease
of some sort. In some recent experi
ments in England, a mixture of one
part of sulphur with three parts of lard ;
and mixture of one part of oil of tar
with three parts of linseed oil, destroyed
the lice to which they were applied al
most immediately, while corrosive sub
limate, mercurial ointment, arsenioos
acid, and carbolic acid were withont
any effect at the end of two hours, and
tobacco-water destroyed the vermin at.
the end of an hour. We have found a
mixture of lard and kerosene oil to com
pletely destroy lice, both upon poultry
and calves, without any injury to the
animals whatever. Kerosene oil alone
will severely injure the skin.
Pens Wat kb Fob Animals One
reason why epedemics among cattle,
bogs, and horses are so common and
fatal, is because they do not have pure
water. As the country grows older ami
is more extensively settled, the streams
are more liksly to be polluted with ex
crement from decaying organisms ; an l
this taken into the' blood of animals is
sure to breed diseased conditions.
Once such epidemics were common
among men, and swept off a large part
of the race. Now, by wise hygiene
most of them are avoided. The cattle
and borse plague will some day be got
rid of by hygiene never by any other
means.

Scientific.
TwisKXiNQ of the Stabs. The sub
ject of the twinkling of start has en
gaged good deal of attention of late
years, and some interesting results have
been obtained. A few years ago the
Italian astronomer, ltespighi, announced
the discovery of the cause of scintilla
tion, in certain dark bands which were
seen to traverse the spectrum of a star.
indicating changes in the refrangibility
of our atmosphere, from hot and cold
strata, which produce something of the
effect of a passing mirage. A layer of
hot air would bend rays less than the
colder and denser air around, and thus
the star's light would not reach the ob
server, rays which traversed the hot
stratum passing over his head, and
those which traversed the cold air be
low being bent so as to fall beneath his
feet. As the ravs of different colors are
differently bent in their passage through
the air (the red rays being the least
refracted), different parts of star's
spectrum would be thus cot off in sue
cession as the relative temperatures of
tue layers of air varied. Arago s not
very lucid explanation of the pheno
mena, as a result of the interference of
light, is in this way completely disposed
of.
M. Montignv, of Brussels, has been
investigating the amount of scintillation
in different stars by the help of an in
genious contrivance, to which he gives
the name of scintillometer. His plan
is to make use of the persistence of
impressions on the retina, by causing
thick plate of glass, mounted obliquely
on an axis, parallel to that of the tele
scope used, and fixed just in front of
the eyepiece to rotate rapidly : the
effect of this is to displace the star's
image, so that, owing to the varying
inclination of the glass plate, the star
appears to move in a circle, which, if
the rotation is rapid enough (three or
four times in a second), forms a con
tinuous circle of light, just as in the
case of a burning stick whirled rapidly.
The changes in the color of a star will
be seen on this circle, the successive
points of which give the appearance of
the object at successive small fractions
of a second ; and in this way, by count
ing the alternations of color in the cir
cumference of this circle of light, M.
Montigny has succeeded in observing
nearly two hundred alternations of
color in a second of time.
The point sought to be established
was the connection between these
changes and the constitution of the
stellar light, for it is easy to see that
the rays which are deficient cannot be
acted on by undulations of the atmos
phere, and there will therefore be fewer
changes of color the more dark bands
there are in a star's spectrum. Now
Secchi has divided the stars of which
he has examined the spectra into four
types, and M. Montigny has observed
the scintillations of stars belonging to
three of these types, viz : bluish white
stars exhibiting'four black lines in their
spectrum somewhat resembling a colon
nade. As far as the results obtained
by M. Montigny go, it seems that the
greatest amount of twinkling is to be
found in the first type (white stars), and
the least in the third type (orange stars)
and that the mere brightness of the star
has no iufluence on the phenomena.
But the principle of combining obser
vations of different nights without any
farther correction, on which M. Mon
tigny has acted, is highly objectionable
and destroys our confidence in his con
clusions. The proper way of treating
such measures is to arraugatne stars in
sequences representing the order of
scintillation, just as Sir John Herschel
formed seqnences of brightness as a
basis for his standard magnitude of
stars.
German Tallow Process. A great
improvement in the manufacture of
tallow, according to a Leipsic journal,
is effected by the following process
One hundred parts of tallow are first
placed in one hundred parts of boiling
water, so that it may melt. A solution
of four parts of crystalized carbonate
of soda lu twenty parts of water is then
added, and the mixture stirred, its
temperatnre being kept at the melting
point of tallow, until a complete enrol
i sion of the tallow is formed, when it is
heated to boiling, and, under continued
stirring, four hundred parts of water is
added. After settling, the aqueous
liquor is drawn on from beneath, the
tallow collected, and again made into
an emulsion with one hundred parts of
water, and then washed with four hun
dred parts of boiling water, in order to
remove any carbonate of soda it may
retain.
The better kinds of tallow required
treatment in this way twice, others
three times ; for the second treatment,
a two to four per cent, solution of the
carbonate of soda is employed, and, at
the third, a two to three per cent, so
lution. It is afterwards simply w ished
with water, or water with the addition
of one per cent, hydrochloric acid, and
then with pure water. All the wash
ings are made with boiling water, and
the mixture is kept boiling for one
quarter of an hour, so as to expel the
volatile impurities. Distilled water is
also preferable for the purpose, or at
least, water that has been freed from
lime by carlxMinte of soda, to avoid the
formation of a lime so ip.
Fob a simple pantagr&ph S -Kuans
suggests the nse of a hue rubber cord,
about fifteen inches long, supplied with
a loop at each end, and having on it a
small white bead, sliding upon it with
gentle friction. By securing one end
to the table by a pin and passing a
pencil through the other end, and
drawing its point over the paper with
the right hand, keeping the string
stretched, and causing the bead to de
scribe the outline of a simple drawing
placed beneath it, a tolerably good
copy of the drawing will be produced,
bearing any desired proportion to the
original, according to the position
given to the bead on the string ; thus,
if the bead is in the center of the cord,
the drawing will be double the size of
the original. The best results are only
obtainable after some practice, and by
employing a filer point than a bead.
Atteabaxce of Milk Under the
Mickosoofe. An exchauge says : The
number and appearance of the butter
globules, when viewed with the micro
scope, distinguish the various qualities
of milk. la sweet milk they are
numerous and crowded together; by
the gathering of these butter globules
together, cream is formed on the sur
face of the miik. After butter has been
made from the milk a certain amount
of the batter globules still remain in
it. Boussiogault's experiments show
that one-fourth part of the entire
iioount of batter remains in the butter
milk. Skim milk contains less bntter
than buttermi k ; the latter is therefore
often adulterated with the former, but
this admixture of skim milk may be
detected with the microscope, A good
eream contains thirty-seven to forty
1 r cent, of batter.
That diseases like yellow fever,
t'phoid fever, fever and ague, con

certain defined regions, and that some

of low, moist countries, and that they

dry, elevated plateaus, situated at from
5,000 to 10,000 feet above the surface of
the ocean, proves that emanations pro

Household Hints, We give some
excellent recipes in the following order :
Wet the spots of iron rust on muslin
or white dress goods thoroughly with
lemon juioe, then lay in the hot sun to
dry. Bepeat the same if the color is
not removed by one application. When
dry, rinse in clear, cold water. Lemon
juice cannot be used on colored goods,
as it will take out printed colors as
well as stains. It will remove all kinds
of stains from white goods.
Dusting articles of steel, after they
have been thoroughly cleaned, with on
slacked lime, will preserve (jbem from
rust. The coils of piano wires thus
sprinkled will keep from rust many
years. Table knives which are not in
constant nse ought to be pat in a case
in which sifted quicklime is placed,
about eight inches deep. They should
be plunged to the top of the blades,
bnt the lime should not touch the
handles.
The white of an egg has proved, of
late, the most efficacious remedy for
burns. Seven or eight successive ap
plications of this substance soothe pain,
and effectually exclude the burn from
the air. This simple remedy seems pre
ferable to collodion or even cotton.
Extraordinary stories are told of the
healing properties of new oil, which is
easily made from the yolks of hens'
eggs. The eggs are first boiled hard,
and the yolks are then removed,
crashed, and placed over fire, where
they are carefully stirred until the
whole substance is just on the point of
catching fire, when the yolk will yield
nearly two teaspoonfuls of oil. It is in
general nse among the colonists of
South Russia as a means of caring cuts,
bruises, and scratches.
At this season of the year, it is im
portant for all housekeepers to be on
their guard against the insidious at
tempts of the various species of ants
and the detestable cockroaches to in
vade the kitchen and pantries or store
rooms. Sprigs of wintergreen will
make the small red ants leave their
cherished haunts. Borax powdered
and pat into the crevices where cock
roaches abide will fiually cause them
to disappear ; but we have found con
centrated lye, melted into a sort of
paste and applied with a knife, more
expeditious mode of destroying these
noxious insects. Scalding alum water
is also certain death to cockroaches.
