Wlnlte communications from all pnrson who ars lutrrf tfd lu niattara properly belouglug W tuts de partment Cleaning Carpets. The suliji-ct of carpets Bnd disease Is one I am often troubled about. They are o continually quite overlooked In cleaning rooms where contagious dis eases have been, and are doubtless the means of carrying dlsenses to others. I use damp cornmeal and salt. To sweep a carpet thoroughly with a broom, take a pint of meal and a half plntof salt and moisten them together with Just water enough to keep the uieal from flying about, not wet enough to stick to the carpet; sprinkle pretty thickly on one side of the room, and sweep straight across ; add a little more meal as the dust begins to fly this cleans the carpet nicely, too. Hut for dally sweeping I use a carpet-sweeper; this effectually gathers up the dust, shreds, and particles, of lint which usually fly furiously, and must settle down on to every particle of furniture in the room, and then be re moved with the dusting-cloth. I have found the carpet-sweeper a grand' helper all around, saving dust, labor and weary backs. Even in the sick-room it can be used slowly, and thus guard against the noise which sweepers make. The cost of It will certainly be made up to the woman who has many rooms to sweep. I think It will sweep a room sufficiently four times out of Ave; the fifth time I usq the cornmeal and salt, and a good broom. E. It. B., in Herald of Health. Dried Eggs. A large establishment has been opened in 8t. Louis for drying eggs. It Is In full operation, and hundreds of thou sands of dozens are going into its Insati able maw. The egg3 are carefully "candled" by hand that Is, examined by light to ascertain whether good or not and are then thrown Into an immense receptacle, where they are broken, and by a centrifugal operation the white and yo!k are separated from the shell very much as liquid honey Is separated from the comb. The liquid is then dried by heat, by patent procees, and the dried article Is left, resembling sugar; and It Is put In barrels and is ready for transportation anywhere. This dried article has been taken twice across the equator in ships, and then made Into omelet, and compared with omelet made from fresh eggs in the same manner, and the best judges could not detect the difference between the two. Is this not an age of wonders f Milk made solid, cider made solid, apple butter made Into bricks ! What next t The Potato and the Beetle. At the present writing, indications are that furmers will cultivate but small acres in potatoes the coming season. The dread of the potato beetle is at the bot tom, and hence a few words of warning will not be Inopportune. A small crop means high prices ; con sequently, if the majority of farmers cease to grow the potato, the farmers who do succeed in getting a crop, will reap the benefit from the scarcity, in high prices. The potato beetle is no great hindrance to the growing of potatoes, but only an everlasting bother. The good farmer will use Paris Green, and anexpenditure here In preserving the crop, will be amply repaid by the increased price, which will follow a diminution in the culture. lhen, let those parties who have potato land, and who have themselves the determination to thoroughly protect their crops from the beetle, confidently continue in potato cultivation, and hope for satisfactory prices for their product. Let those farmers, however, who are too careless to protect their crop, see to it, that they do not emburk on a losing venture. The wise few are bound to profit by the acts of the negligent many. The Bee Question. A subscriber from Somerset county, Ohio, sends the following: Mr. Editor: In reply to the inquiry of a subscriber as to the cause of his bees dying, I will stato my experience. I have lost three hives during the past winter ; one was very strong in the fall, but through the cold weather some of the lower bees froze, and stuck between the combs so tight that the rest smother ed. The other two died in the spring, and on close examination I found they had gathered some cider and It had soured.which would naturally kill them by feeding on It even if the sour spot is very small; they will all feed wherever they cut the first caps from the' honey, until the honey is all gone before they cut any more. .In my hive, the soured place was not as large as the palm of my liaud.
