A (jlreat Chance 1o Learn a Trade. What field of labor shall I enter to gain « livelihood, is a question that soon present! itself in the life of every j-oiing man. It can truthfully lie said that no division of employ ment ofTers brighter prospects for »uccesi than that of the mechanical pursuits. A me chanic who is master of his trade is sure to command steady employment and good wages. Besides, in the possession of a trade a man has something permanent, and if ho adds to his knowledge, honesty and industry, his success iu life is virtually assured. Fourteen years ago the New York Trade School was founded for the purpose of providing an opportunity for young men to learn a trade, and to give them, in certain industries, a chance to im prove themselves. The instruction is both practical and scientific. Every effort is put forth to advance the pupil in the trade tc which his attention is directed. Skilled me chanics are employed as teachers and each pupil receives individual attention. Tho in struction is given in a systematic manner. At the beginning the pupil is placed on work that is simple, and as expertness is acquired, he is gradually advauced to that which is more difficult and intricate. As the courte pro ceeds, lectures bearing on the scientific princi ples of the trade are given. Hv this method of Instruction a pupil necessarily makes rapid progress, and in a comparatively short time lie acquires skill that can only be obtained by a long term of ser>*.e iu a work shop. Tho classes are reserved for young men between 17 and 23 years of age, and the yearly attendance is larje, the pupils coming from all parts of the United States and Canada. During the session of 1805-6 the following day classes will be in operation : Re/inning Oct. SB. 189>— Four months' day coarse in Printing, tuition fee J35.

Tlits will cut corners which are left untouched wheu tho cultivator has been run only as Ihe rows ore planted. It is well when this is done to have the outer teeth of the cultivator made smaller, so that the cultivator next the plaut* should not run so deeply. It will require a cureful horse and a iuan to ntu the cultivator who has a steady eye to do this work without occasional injury to a hill; but it can bo done. Such thorough cultivation will leave little or nothing to bo done by hand labor.—Boston Cultivator. LON'OUANDLED FORK FOR BRUSII. When piling brush use a long-han dled fork. Iu no other place aro the advantages of a long handle over a short ouo more apparent. To lift and stretch in vain to make a forkful of 1 rush swing clear of the e-irth is the neverest labor known. Brush often contains grape and other running vines, as well as briers, which make it hur.l to handle. A short handle litis convinced many persons that brush cannot be handled by a lork, but mi eh is not tho case. Clear up uml burn everything in tho form of brush before snow falls. After tho mow is gone in spring work will be pressing, and the clearing haa to wait until af.er haying, to the detriment of the mowings.—American Agricul trist. SALTING STOCK. We use rock salt in large lumps for the horses, writes T. J l . Terry. Each horse has a lump before him all the time, to lick from as he may want it. We salt our cows in the barn at milk ing time, once a day. That is, a little ; salt, tny a heaping teaspoonful, is put before every cow each morning to cat it she wants it. It is put right on the cement feeding floor. A little salt daily aids digestion in the cow or horse and waters the milk iu a legiti mate way. Salting freely once a week is not tlio best way, any more than it would be for us to eat all our salt for the week every Sunday morning. In fact, I believe that salt thus fed is often an injury, as well as an advan tage. Stock need salt as well as food, but it should be given them in a proper way. Fed iu tho stable, as we do, each cow has her own, and cannot be robbed by some boss cow, to the injury of both.—l'ractical Farmer. MILKING. Under the head of milking may be comprised the cleanliness of tho ani mals and the manner and time of milk ing. The introduction of separators practically revealed tho necessity for cleanliness in a cow stable. At tho termination of the process of separa ting a peculiar slime is to bo found adhering to the sides of tho separator. Its color varies from gray to green, brown, and even black. When exam ined under the microscope, germs, portions of plants, hair, soot, linen have been discovered, and when ex posed to the air for a short time it putrefies rapidly. It consists in reality of dirt, and, as such, must injure the quality of milk and butter. Jn older to keep the milk as freo from tho dirt as possible, the cows ought to be rubbed down with a straw whisk on their right hind quarters und udders before they are milked in tho morn ing. During the day it is necessary to currycomb and brush each animal. The best kind of brush to be used is ono made rather more open than an ordinary horse brush, but of the best hog bristle. The animals aro first scraped ever with the currycomb and then brushed. In addition, the udderH of all cows ought to be washed and dried before milking, and the milkers ought to dip thoir hands in cold water after milking each auimal. Care must be taken to completely empty the udder when the cow is milked. In large establishments where several milkerß are employed it is advisable to select one or two of tho more care ful persons to strip the cows after they have been milked. By this moans the careleesnesi of some of tho milkers may be corrected. Each milker should have his own stool and pail marked or numbered, and should be held respon sible for the cleanliness of tho same. The milk ought to be poured from the pail into tho milk can through a double hair strainer, and the milk cans ought, if possible, to be placed outside the cow house.—Connecticut Farmer. TESTS OF AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS. Bulletins No. 4 and No. 7 of the Utah Experiment Station contain in teresting results from tests of draught of farm wagons, plows, mowing ma chines and harrows, us measured by a Beif-recording dynamometer. Tho conclubions ns stated in these bulletins are as follows: That colters add to draught of plows by some rilteen per cent. That trucks or wheels uuder the end of the plow beam decrease draught by about fourteen per cent, add uniformity to the furrow and lessen the work of the plowman. When tho traces are not in line with the draught of tho plow tho draught is increased. Lengthening the hitch sii.'htly de crtjaeed the draught. A *haro badly aburpeoetl iucreaecil th* draught thirty-six per cent, oyer a new share. A dull share drew harder than a sharp one, but not as hard as a badly sharp ened share. Draught decreases with the depth and with tho width per square inch of soil. Walking plows gave slightly less draught than sulky plow* with rider. Sulky plows drew ensier down hill,but much harder up hill than walking plows. A share straight on its land side and bottom took land well and gave a slight decrease of draught. A loss of draught was found on a sulky plow when its adjustment to take land was made from the pole. A wagon with fellies 1} inches wido drew on moist, but close, blue grass sward 41.fi per cent, harder than wheels with fellies three inches wide. On a dirt road, slightly moist, tho narrow tires drew 12.7 per cent, heavier thau the wide tires. Draught on plank road is one-fif tieth of the load, and not one-sev enth of tho draught on a dirt road in its ordinary condition after a rain. A load over tho hind wheels drew ten per cent, easier than over tho front wheels. Lowering the reach, or the coupling pole, on tho hind wheels decreased draught; wagons draw easier when the traction has an upward incline, and harder when horses are hitehod to tho end of the pole. Loose burrs reduced draught four fifths per cent. An old mowing mnchine repaired drew easier than a new one. The draught was oight-sevenths per cent, greater for a well-sharpened sickle than for ono more nicely sharp ened. A pitman box set tight gave less draught than ouo set quite loosely. When cutter bnr is not near right line with pitman rod tho draught is increased. When guards arc out of line tho draught is iucreased. When cutter bar incliuos upward draught is decreased. When tho seatious of tho sickle do not strike in tho center of tho guards tho draught is increased. Tho drought was decreased ten pounds by the driver walking. A loss of forco was observed when tho wheel at tho end o ! cutter bar faile 1 to work well.—Scientific Amer ican. I'ABM AND GARDEN NOTES. Allow four or fivo inches space for each plant. Every surplus plant, or cane, takes food and moisture from the soil. Dig out and burn affected plants, root and branch, as soon as disease appears. A Wisconsin sheep breeder advocates feeding grain to sheep ten mouths in the year. Look clorely for orange rust and other disease ou raspberries and blackberries. Every dead branch or weak cane furnishes au abiding place for bug, parasite und disease. Cut out bearing canes of raspberry and blackberry immediately after fruiting, aud burn them. Allow nothing in the fruit garden detrimental to health, growth and de velopment of both plant aud fruit. Fistilato varieties make plants rap idly. To secure vigorous vines aud large, nice fruit remove all surplus runuers. The man who sticks to raising first class cattlo aud hogs, and does it with good judgment, will find it reasonably profitable. An lowa snino breedor says that a pig that has recovered from a geuuino attack of thumps is about worthless for breeding purposes. Only a careful account will tell how many groceries tho egg supply pur chases ou the farm. Keep au accouut for a while, and then the hens will bo more appreciated. Do not let the chicks roost on small roosts while they are young. If they roost before their breasts become firm and hardened, tliey wili bo sure to have crooked breast bones. Tho New York Experiment Station has been making some practical tests with cows, as to the amount of water they drank. It was found that during lactation, or tho giviug period, the average per mouth was IGGO pounds. The success of many a man in tho poultry business, both commercially and from a fancier's standpoint iu show records, is duo to womeu, who get no credit. They havo been tho power behind the throne many a timo wheu men have received tho honors. If the pasture is ncant it can be made togo further by herding and al lowing the stock to eat down a por tion of the field at the time. Even with hogs and sheep this plau can be followed without much extra labor. Movablo fences sometimes meet tho purpose. Bitter milk ooraes from bad feed. The rag weed which follows a crop ol ryo or oate, dog fennel, bitter weed and the like, although but little may be eaten, will often impart a bittei flavor to the milk of cows pastured it buch a field. Even this trouble can b< overcome. A wise outlay is not extravagance. There is no money iu following cheap methods with stock. Pay liberally for good breeding animals, aud con tinue the standard by giving the best care and food. Tho outlay is a little more, but tho net returns are wort every time. Ono reason for cows shrinking oi their milk yield prematurely is that not enough attention is paid to keep I ing them supplied with pure watei when natural sources dry up. Don'- tie afraid of having an abundance ol water in the pasture for dairy stock, for they will never drink more thar they want. j Rice was cultivated in Itdia many : yeufs before the historical period, HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS. A VALUABLE HINT. It should be universally known that •and or flour scattered over burning oil will extinguish it. Every house hold in whioh lamps arc used should have a small box filled with sand in Home eonvonient corner, ready for all emergencies. It has the great advan tage over flour in being heavy, nud not easily affected by draughts or cur rents of air. WHAT TO DO WITH THE K.VDS OF MEAT.

You should wash ground glass globes, or any ground glass in a lather of soap and water and sod*, with a brush, and rinse in cold water; dry them imme diately out of the cold water ; do not let them drain. Ground glass is apt to get a black look from exposure, and therefore all ground glass, such as ice plates, for instance, that aro not in daily use, should bo wrapped up sepa rately in soft paper, so that it may keep its color. —Godey's Magazine. OOOD LAUNDBY HINTS. In summor time clothes may be washed without any tiro by soaking over night in soft, soapy water, rub bing out in the morning, soaping the dirty places and laying them in the hot sunshine. By tho timo tho last nro spread out to bleach, tho first may bo taken up, washed out and rinsed. This, of course, requires a clean lawu. Wash gray and brown liuons in cold water, with a little black pepper in it, and they will not fade. For washing other goods that fade, use crude or household ammonia instead of soap. Soiled neckties may be made to look like new by taking one-half a tea spoonful of ammonia to a tea-cup of water. Wash well, and, if very much soiled, put through a second watoi with less ammonia. Lay tho necktie on a clean, white cloth and gently wipe with another till dry. To wash colored muslin, uso warm, not hot, suds, mado with soft water and best white soap. Do not soak tho muslin, and wash only ono thing at a time. Change the suds as soon as it looks dingy, and put the garments at once into fresh suds. Binso first in clear water slightly blued. Squeeze quite dry, but do not wring the goods, lfang in a shady place where the sun shino will not strike it, as that fades all colors. For lawns and organdies which are delicately colored, boil wheat bran, about two quarts to a dress, iu soft water for half an hour, lot it cool, straiu the liquor, and uso it instead of soap suds. It removes dirt like soap, keeps the color, and tho clothes only need rinsing in oue water, and oveu starchiug is unnecessary. Suds and rinsing water for colored articles should be used as cold as possible. Wash silk handkerchiefs by laying them ou a smooth board anil rubbing with tho palm of the haud. Use either borax oY white castile soap to make tho suds; rinse in cloar water, sh-iko till nearly dry, fold evenly, lay be tween boards, put a weight on thj-.-n. No ironing is required. Silk ribb.vis may bo treated iu tho same manuei, To clean black lace, wipe oil all dust carefully with a cambric handker chief. Then pin out on a board, in serting a pin in oach projecting point of tho lace. Sponge it all over with cold tou, and do not removo tho pitis until perfectly dry.

' Highest of all in Ltavcaing Power.—Latest U. S. Gov't Report „ Powder absolutely PURE A Strange Coincidence. A remarkable coincidence happened a few days ago. Sylvester Tryon, a wealthy mill owner in Sacramento, who has been suffering from Bright's disease for years past, complained on Sunday, July 7, of pains around the heart and kidneys. He took to his bed, and on the following Tuesday was dead. A telegram was sent by the family of the deceased to his brother, Horatio, living in Middletown, Lake County. When this telegram reached Calistoga it was found that there was also a telegram at that place for Syl vester Tryon, stating that his brother Horatio had died on Tuesday from Bright's disease. The Middletown brother was also well on the preceding Sunday, and, as far as can be learned, he took sick almost at the same hour as the Sacramento brother. Conse quently two brothers, living in differ ent portions of the State, became ill at the same time, died on the same day and of the same complaint. Sylvester Tryon was, at the time of his death, sixty-nine years of age. Hp came to California in the days of '49 with the pioneors. Ho established himself in Sacramento twenty-five years ago, aud since then has become very wealthy. He is a prominent Mason, and was buried last Saturday afternoon under the auspices of that lodge. Horatio Tryon, the Middle town brother, camo to this State from Pittsburg about ten years ago, and became a wealthy farmer. At the time of his death he was seventy-one years of age.
