AGucranruik Management of Geese. Geese are nat urally irreat wanderers, and for. that reason they require a home of their own ; especially when harvest time ap proaches does this need most appear, If allowed to ran they destroy much more than they are worth. A small piece of pasture land through which runs a brook, is best calculated for geese even IX the brook is small, they will love it, and with sticks and leaves dam it up until they have a convenient place to wash and dive; they love to keep clean, i'unngtiie laying season, which commences as early as March, feed corn, buckwheat, oats, etc. : if cooked and fed warm it is much better. Geese also dearly love crumbs from the table, such as pancakes and potatoes, rut into small pieces and fed warm ; feed this once a day, and the above mentioned once a day, as much as they will eat without leaving any. A little salt on their food improves it : also a quantity of loppvred milk, if you have it, added after the food is cooked. If you have no nice little house for the goose make her her nest in, place a barrel in an elevated part of her lot or home, turn It on its side, place the open end of it toward the south ; put in a few quarts of horse manure: overtliis place plenty of straw; she requires enough to lay her eggs npon and cover them with, tor sne never leaves them uncovered. My word for it, Goosie will not refuse such a place for her nest, at least I never knew her to. She generally lays two inters 01 eggs each season from five to twelve in a litter. When she Miows signs of sitting, give her twelve to thirteen to sit upon: do not let her sit before the middle of April, or, better sun, tue nrstor.Hay. Goslings are a tender bird and do not thrive well in chilly weather. After the goose has been sitting one mouth look out for the gos.iugg; they are of a handsome green color; as they come out of the shell and Kit close to their mother they are auretlr sight. A lniut that time the gander will tight as if lie meant to kill everything mat comes near. Jlural .Vr 1 orker. Htm to mulct npfjetrees bear ererg year. One of the most successful applegrowers in the county, Mr. Robert 1'eil of Ulster lo.,. J., resolved to have his large orchard liear every year. This is how he secured that result : Commonly shaking, the apple tree ttcars every alternate year. M r. 1'eil le termined to have an annual harvest, and to give his orchard a handsome start he KHcrifli-ed the crop of a liearing year. All the apples were picked while green. lie discovered .that the germ of next year g fruit was in existence at the time of the apple harvest, but that the tree would be so exhausted that this germ would fail of development, and a year of rest would follow before another crop could lie produced. Having su ped his trees from fruiting iu the man ner mentioned, he was sure of a crop on wnal was generally the oil-year, and ne oeiermiiien 10 iollow tins up Uv a treatment which should abolish the off year system. He learned that trees re quire a variety of food, the chief of wnicii is found in jtotash, lime and soda, and his orchard has been thus fed with all the success that could have lieen an ticipated. The Mtash is found in wood ashes, lime is obtained from oyster shells at low cost, (stone lime heing undesira ble), while soda is supplied by common salt. Orchards thus fed and judiciously pruned cannot fail of success, and they will bear every year with hardly a fail ure, if thus fed, and the crop of apples is not allowed to be too large. The thin ning out of fruit should be practiced not only for this end. but to ensure the full development of that allowed to re main. Salt ami Insects' Eggs. Says a Penn sylvania corresiHHidcnt : Observation leads me to believe that eggs, whether hen's eggs or the eggs of insects, alter having ahsorted salt, Mill no longer natch out. 1 have used salt on garden lds to destroy eggs of insects, and I have found by so doing I have had less of certain kinds of insects to deal with afterward. Supiosiiig this theory to be true, might not the farmers in the West, by sowing salt on their laud destroy the eggs of grashopiH-rs and perhaps other insects in iiiiiiiIhts siillicient to do some good, as to small lots. This would of course be impractical on a large scale, or where salt would lie toodcar or scarce. I make this suggestion simply to call forth discussion, and would like to read the opinions of others on the same sub ject. J.y bringing our ideas to light, may it not lie possible for us, in the day of invention and improvement, to find out a partial remedy at least against the ravages of this destroying insect. I said 1 believed that eggs which had absorlied salt will no longer hatch out. Will those w ho know, please speak. Celery as a Hcuuxlial. A correspon dent of the Practical Farmer says: "I have known many men and women too, who, from various causes, had become so affected with nervousness that wiien they stretched out their hands they shook like asen leaves on windy days; and by a daily moderate use oi the blanched footstalks of the celery leaves as a salad, they became as strong and steady in limbs as other people. I have known others so very nervous that the least annoyance put them in a state of agitation, who were in almost constant lerplexity and fear, and who were ef fectually cured by a daily moderate use of blanched celery as a salad at meal times. I have known others cured of palpitation of the heart by the use of celery." Fast Walking Horses. One of the liest classes of horses that could lie bred would lie fast valktng hone; let our liorschreedcrs look to this point eseci ally, and mark the sire that has this trait largely develoed, and then breed a class of fast trailers; this is what our farmers particularly want for the ;.to ingichl. A first-rate fast milling horse will plow 2" to :,' per cent, more land in a day and do it easier than an ordin ary bred horse, and thus such a horse would soon pay his cost ; such a class of Horses would command a large price. Whoever will pay attention to raising such a class if horses and will make them known will make a liigger fortune than can lie made on any wit' trotter, or by any simulation in stocks. The Utilitgof Ham: Millions of dol lars are lost every year bv the want of good barns. Orain and liay are stacked out in the fields, exposed to the vicissi tudes of the seasons and damaged ma terially in this manner. Stock fed on damaged provender are never in good condition and are liable to various dis eases. The waste and destruction caused iu this way would probably pay 25 per cent- interest on every judicious invest ment of monev in barns nneverr farm in the West. In fact, barns ire" indes pensable appendages to every farm, and inc laimer w uu tries io get along wil out a ham. waitincr to rot ri. h ..... th gb to build a good one, loses money all t' he t.allU. Prtftiring Currant for Winter uses. To prepare currants for mince pies and other winter uses, add one pound of su gar to four of fruit picked from the stems; cook a few minutes; spread on tins, dry in the oven, which must not lie hot enough to scorch them. When sufficiently dried away, pack in stone jars, and put a layer of sugar over the top. This method is suierior to all others for preserving the flavor of fruit (it even adds to the richness of cherries) ; no fermentation takes place if stored in a cool place, and it will keep unchanged for years. Heating a little sugar and water with several spoonfuls of fruit makes a dish of preserves iu a few minutes. A cord of stone, three bushels of lime, and a cubic yard of sand will lay one hundred cubic feet of wall.

At the agate poiisning esmo- lishment in Oldenburg, a phenomenon has been observed for tho past century that has as yet, perhaps, attracted too unie attention irom scientinc men. Under very powerful friction, audi ma can only be produced by the machinery at those works, hard stones become SDlendidlr lunuaous and transparent throughout. la this establishment the axis of an undershot water-wheel reaches into the irrinding-rooin, where four or live grind-stones rotate verti cally ; over each is brought a gutter, so that a constant small stream of water pours upon the atone, lbe grind stones themselves are entirely faultless They are about five feet in diameter, and make three revolutions in a second so that the grinding surface that pas ses theobjectpressed against it amounts to thirty-two English miles per hour. When grinding, the workman lies on his belly.his chest on a semi-cyliudrical hollowed tool, his feet streched out be hind, braced against a post fixed in the iioor. With both hands he presses the stone to be polished firmly against tne grindstone, brioging his whole weight to bear upon it. The muscular strength brought to bear is very great, and the work performed with intermissions of equal times of rest and work. Some ex periments were made in this work-shop by Noggerath in broad daylight. He observed that as long as a stone of the hardness of qnartz was pressed against the revolving grindstone, there was produced an intense red light, which at the same time radiated around the object and emitted numerous sparks. 1 ins expericuce was me same wim au hard stones, which appear almost like jed hot iron, and it really looks as if the bauds must be severely burnt. All the stones became warm in grinding, but not very hot. Chalcedony gave a magnificent fiery red light; chrysoprase a little red light ; rock crystal a beau tiful rose red; coralline a tuijierb red light: the color being evidently in- ci eased by the natural line of the stone. Amethyst give a pale violet, while nu merous opaque stones gave no light at all. Chalk as a Source of Heat. The util ization of chalk, such as is found in natural beds, as a source of heat, of which so much has lieen said lately, is pronounced by the Scientific American, in an able discussion of the subject, as not a feasible process. It says that, by heating at a high tenieratiire. the ma terial may lie decomposed, anil it ab sorbs an amount of heat, equivalent to that produced at the moment of com bination carbonic acid and lime re sult, and these themselves are also burnt bodies, neither of which indi vidually produce heat; that if the car bonic acid, after contact with an incan descent combustible, is transformed in to carbonic oxide, it is simply through the absorption of exactly the quantity of heat which would be produced by the transformation of cai lionic acid ; and thus, theoretically and according to all present chemical ideas, it is im possible to conceive that lime, no mat ter in what form it lie utilized, can be a source of heat. In accounting for the advantageous results which are claimed to have lieen secured by an admixture of chalk with bitumiuous coal and various earthy substances starting with the well known fact that, in domestic heating, the tyiies of ap paratus commonly employed are the grate and the stove it is shown that a grate-lire utilizes about one-tenth of the heat developed by the combustible, that is, about this fraction goes to warm the room, while the remaining nine-tenths escapes up chimuey. It is radiant heat that warms the apartment: and if, by mixing chalk or limestone with the fuel, the combustion is retar ded, the chalk, by absorbing a portion of the heat which would otherwise lie lost, serves to increase the radiating surface, and thus probably augments the quantity of heat utilized. In stoves, also an analogous state of affairs exists. Artesian Welts. There are three con ditions essential to the successful bo ring of an artesian well : 1, a fountain bead more elevated than the locality where the boring is to be undertaken; 2, a moderate downward dip of te strata, toward the site of the well, as a steep angle is unfavorable and permits the water to tiow away beyond the reach of the boring, which must needs pass at an acute angle through few layers of rock ; 3, alternation of porous and impervious strata beneath the sur face soil. It is sometimes the case that the head of water is at so high an ele vation that the column bursts forth from the ground as a fountain, throw ing up a continual jet. Hv raising the water above the surface iu a pipe, and letting it tiow over, convenient water power is obtained. Artesian wells are applied to tuis punose at many local ities in France, the water they supply being found suflicieut to run heavy ma chinery. From the great depth at the currents of water are reached, the suppliesmaylbe regarded as permanent. A well at Aire, in Artois, (from which name the word "artesian" is derived). r ranee, has flowed steadily toracentury the water rising above the surface at the rate of 300 gallons a minute ; and at Lillcrs, iu the same country, one well has given a constant yield since the year 1120. Preparation of Elmnite. The use of ebonite, oue of the newer preparations of India rublicr, is constantly increas ing, on account of its better applicabil ity to many purposes in the arts than its near ally vulcanite. The two sub stances are quite similar, being com posed of India Kiibbcr and sulphur, with some preparation of gutta percha. 8liellac,asihalt,graphite,etc.,;althoiigh these latter are not essential. In vul canite the amount of sulphur does not exceed 20 to 30 per ccnt,Jwhereas iu eb ouite the jK-rcentage of sulphur may reach as high as GO. Au increased trin Iierature is also required for this prep aration. The approved formula con sists in mixing together 100 parts of rubber, 45 of sulphur, and 10 of guttta percha, with sullicent.heat to facilitate the combination. In manufacture, a suflicent quantity of this mixture is placed in a mold of a desired shape, and of such material as will not lie af fected by the sulphur contained iu the mass. It is then exiwsed to the heatof about 315 deg., and a pressure of about l-' iMiunils to the square inch, for two hours. This is done most readilv bv placing the mold in a steam, where the requisite pressure and temperature can easily lie Kept up. When cold the eb onite is removed from the mold, fin ished and polished in the usual manner. Decolorizing Propertu of f hone. One of the most striking properties of ozone says M.A. lloillot is its bleaching power. The effects ascribed to chlorine are really due to ozone. Ozone employed directly acts as au oxidizing agent lay ing hold of the hydrogen of the sub stance with which it is contact, whence results bleaching.if the body is colored. On allowing chlorine to act npon any animal or vegetable matter, it decom poses a certain quantity of water and seizes its hydrogen, forming hydraulic acid. The oxygen set free by this re action is transformed into ozone, which iu its turn, lays hold of hydrogen preseut in organic matter. Weiahted Silts.!. J. Pierson states that an increase of weight is produced in silks by treatment with salts of iron and astringents, and with salts of tin and cyanides; this factitious in crease of weight may be carried to the extent of from 100 to 300 percent.

Proper clothing is of the utmost importance to every in valid; and the best clothing is that which is best adapted lor this purpose. For this reason woolen or silk is superior to cotton or linen in the cold seasons. Yet we do not advise woolen to be worn next the skin, because of its irritating qualities. Cotton flannel drawers and undershirts are superior in this respect ; but woolen outer gar ments, and even woolen socks are better than cotton or linen. The color of clothing baa much to do with its health fulness-" No invalid can justify himself in wearingcolored cloth 's ... i mi i n liig next uie bkw. i ne aye is usually more or less absorbed, and is always injurious, freouentlv poisonous. In deed, we question its propriety, on the score of health, at any time or in any Elace. True, black absorbs and retains eat, while white reflects it, giving to whtie a less heat-retaining quality than black : vet nevertheless, white or light- colored clothing we consider superior to dark color, for bummer weather there is no question as to its superiority, nor for inner garments. The limbs and extremities claim from every invalid and physician especial at tention. Not one invalid in a thousand succeeds in having his feet, legs, bands, and arm well clad. Among women the dress usually worn is outrageous. considered from the standpoint of health, and among men it is only a little less so. The central portions of the body are overburdened often with clothing, while the limbs are almost always insufficiently clad, lbe shoes are thin, stockings delicate, pants tine, ond only lined around the waist, while over abdomen anil loins the clothing is doubled or trebled. How can anyone expect to regain health under such cir cumstances. Health depends upon a balanced circulation, and the blood cir culates from within. As power begins to diminish, the circulation fails in the extremities and the blood is retaiued in and aliout the central organs. Cloth ing retains heat, anil heat retains blood; so where most clothing is. there, other things Iwinjr equal, the most blood will be found. To call blood into tlie ex tremities and external capillaries is one of the important objects of all good treatment, and proper clothing is a necessary adjunct. Let no oue fear that his limbs will be too well clad ; let him rather remember the old physician's advice: Keep the feet warm, the head cool, and the liowels free, and you will have no need of a physician. Science o7ii. Purification of Hen Houses. As the hot season advances, poultry keeper should not neglect the purification of the fowl house. Proper sanitary meas ures must lie taken, or health anil suc cessful poultry raising cannot lie ex pected, nor is it deserved. Lime is an excellent purifier, and when carbolic acid is added to the whitewash, will effectually keep away vermin from the walls. Alter every cleaning ot the noor it should lie sprinkled with carbolic acid, dilute twenty of water to one of acid. This is oue of the best disin fectants and antiseptics known and is not used as much as it deserves. The roosts should be sprinkled with it every week. This whitewashing should be done twice at least, better three times a year. 1 he nests of sitting hens should lie, sprinkled with carbolic acid to keen oil' vermin ; and the coops also where young broods are kept for a time should lie punned in this way. it a hen gets lousy, this dilute acid will destroy them by putting it under their wings, on head and neck. Wood ashes are ex cellent to be kept in fowl houses for hens to dust themselves with. This is much more effectual than sand, but sand should also be kept for a bath. ithout proper attention to these matters, poultry keepers cannot expect to succeed. Cheap-Summer Jtrinls. To make root beer, take a quantity of sarsaparilla roots, sasafras bark and some hops and boil till the strength is extracted, lo three gallons of the liquor, after it is strained, add oue quart of molasses and a cup of yeast. After standing in a warm place eight or ten hours, strain again and bottle. It will be fit for use immediately. For ginger beer, take one pint of molasses, and two spoonfuls of ginger, put into a pail to be half tilled with boiling water; when well stirred to gether, fill the pail with cold water. leaving room for one pint of yeast, which must not lie put in till hike-warm. Place it on the warm hearth for the night and bottle it in the morning. For spruce beer, take three pounds of sugar, four gallons of water, one ounce of ginger, a little lemon peel or essence of lemon, and a little essence of spruce to give it a flavor. Mir all together, warm it a trifle; add a cupful of good yeast. When fermented, bottle np close. Mead is made by dissolving one part of honey in three of boiling water, flavoring it with spices, and adding a portion of ground malt, and a piece of toast steeped in yeast, and allowiug the whole to ferment. Corns. Soft corns are cured by warm water bathiiigs and buckskin protec tors, and no parings are necessary. Hard corns on the ton of the toes, at the joints, can almost always be removed . .1 J .

This hastens the softening, and in a day or two the kernel can lie picked out w ith the finger-nail. If the corn is shaved off the roots deepen ; besides, trouble some bleedings sometimes follow, and in several cases have ended fatally. A bit of cotton saturated with oil and bound upon the corn over night, facili tates the softening. The hurting of hard corns before falling weather, is removed by soaking them in warm water. I'r. Jlalt. Green Peas. Have the hands and the dishes clean in shelling, so that the peas need not be washed before cook ing. If the pods are very nice and sweet, they may be cooked in the water before the peas are put in ; but usually this does not pay. Jlave the peas a little more than even full of water and cook them twenty minutes after they begin to boil. As the season advances. cook them longer. He sure to have them tender, but do not cook them after they are tender. If done too soon. let them stand hot without cooking. Serve warm, full of juice, and if you wish for the full benefit of the sweet pea flavor, serve without seasoning. Tlie following is a good recipe for raspberry vinegar: Pour over 1 pound of bruised berries 1 quart of the best cider vinegar; next day, strain the liquor on l pound ot tresh ripe raspber ries, bruise them also, and on the fol lowing day do the same. Do uot squeeze the fruit, only drain the liquor thor oughly. Put the juice into a stone jar and add sugar in proportion of one pound to a pint.

Cherry Pudding. To a quart of dry flour, add two tablespoonsful of finely chopped suet, a very small teaspoon ful of salt, and four even teaspoonsful of baking powder; mix them thoroughly, and add milk enough to stir to a thick batter. Now, place on an earthen baking dish one quart of cherries, pitted or not, as you choose ; pour the mix ture over, and bake one hour in a moderate oven. Make a sauce of boiled white sugar, by adding two table spoonsful of water to a cup of sugar, and boiling five minutes.

The police were informed, and succeed ed in capturing the man a few days afterward, at the moment when he was pledging for five florins a silver-gift wreath which had been awarded to the Abbe.

According to my observation, the most difficult time to bring up a child is in the morning. Yon can sometimes, though seldom, bring them np in the morning bv veiling at them : but the effectiveness of the process diminishes with its repetition, even wnen not en tirely neutralized by the children's trick of stopping their ears with the bed clothes. The only prompt, effective, and absolute method is to bring tiiem up by the hair. If yourchild has a good healthy scalp, without any tendency to premature baldness, this method will work with themostgratifyingetticiency. Try it about once a week, and you will be surprised to observe bow its influ ence will extend through the six days. inspiring your child with the liveliest possible interest in the resplendent pageantry of sunrise. The pulling np of a darling child by the hair requires the exercise ot energy and firmness; but not affectionate parents will hesitate at the little sacrifice of this kind for the welfare of his offspring. Nothing can be mure fatal to your discipline than to allow your children to contradict you. If you happen to be betrayed into any misstatement or ex aggeration in their presence, don't per mit them to correct you. Kight or wrong, you must obstinately insist on your own infalibility and promptly snr- press all opposition, with force if need be. The moment you permit them to doubt your unerring wisdom you will begin to forfeit their respect and pander to their conceit. There can be no sadder spectacle than a parent sur rounded by olive branches who think that they know more than be does, vividly remember how my father who was one of the most rigid and success ful of disciulinariaus quelled the aspiring egotism that prompted me to correct his careless reinaik (when he was reckoning a problem in shillings) that five times twelve is sixty-two and a half. "So," said he, looking over his spectacles and surveying me grimly, "ye think ye know more'u yer father, hey I Coine 'ere to me! His invita tion was too pressing to decline, and for a few excruciating moments I re posed in ln'tter humiliation across hits left knee, with my neck iu the embrace of his left arm. I 1 didn't see him demonstrate his mathematical accuracy with the palm of his right hand on the largest patch ou my trowsers, but i felt that the old man was right ; and when, after com pletely eradicating my faith in the mul tiplication taMe, he asked me how much five times twelve was, 1 insisted with tears in my eyes, that it was sixty-two and a half. "That's right," said he. "I'll learn ye to respect your father if I have to t brash ye twelve times a day. Now go'u water them bosses, 'n lie lively, too !" The old cent ieman didn't permit my rcscct for him to wane much until the inflammatory rheuma tism disabled him, and even then he continued to inspire me with awe until I was thoroughly convinced that his disability was permanent. Unquestioning oliedienee is the crowuing grace of childhood. When you tell your child to do anything and he stops to inquire w h v.it is advisable to kindly but firmly fetch him a rap across the ear anil inform him "That's why !" He will soon get in the way of starting with charming alacrity at tho word of command. One of the most inveterate and an noying traits of children is inqnisitive uess. If you are inconsiderate enough to attempt to satisfy their omnivorous curiosity, you may as well prepare to abdicate, for you will be nonplussed by their questions a dozen times a day, and your weak sagacity will lie hope lessly compromised. An average child is a magazine of unconquerable and disconcerted conundrums. You cannot expect children to have much reverence for a parent whose ignorance they can expose twice out of three times trying. It is well enough to answer an easy question now and then, just to convince them that you can when you choose; but when thev come at von wirh a poser, tell them : "Oh, never "mind !" or "Shut np," and then they will grow indepen dent and self-reliant, and restrained only by veneration from splitting vour head open to find out how it holds so much inforuiotion without letting more out ot it. It would be difficult very difficult to estimate the beneficial effect that would be entailed npon their children if parents generally would adopt the method here vaguely indicated. A Wife's Trlek. The Cincinnati Times says: A lady occupying a high position at Washing ton, whose husband was of the Ooveru meiit, made a trip to Euroe with him. She "doted" on lace, and here was her opportunity. Talking of the acquisitions she would make in this line, he told her she should purchase any reasonable quantity, provided she would not smug gle any. To this she acceded. The gen tleman took as part of his wardrobe a dressing-gown, for like most Americans in the privacy of his room he liked to pull off his coat. Several times on the trip he observed the care his wile took of this garment, and was gratified for her anxiety for his comfort. Once when smoking, w hile lighting his cigar, he set his gown on fire and quite a hole w as burned in the skirt. His wife was con siderably agitated, and he was flattered that so trilling a danger to him had so moved her. One morning immediately after their return to this country he found liefore he reached his otlice that keys he needed he had left at home, and ret raced his steps to get them. Letting himself in, w ith his latch-key he proce ded to his chamber, and on opening the door found his wile on her knees on the floor, his dressing-gown divested of iu lining and spread liefore her, and slie, scissors in hand, disengaging from it a white, flimsy laliric with w hieh it was covered. She sprang upon seeing him, laughed, ami exclaimed, "You are the smuggler. You worn thai lai-e all over Europe, and brought it home." SrFFERF.ns with I n F.s shonld erect a monument to Dit.
