A correspondent of - the Germantmvn Telegraph Bays : This may be useful to some of your country readers. How ninny of them will take pnlns to grease or wash a carringe rightly V As far as my experience goes not many of them do either, through Ignorance or careless ness, or " John-wnsh-tliat-wagon" style; but whateverltls.lt Is not often done right, lteing a carriage-painter myself, I have a right to know how and to say how It should be done. When a carriage comes to be re-palnt-ed, and I see the panels full of grease, which has come off the wheels or sponge in washing, and the spokes full from the hub, I say that man doesn't appre ciate my work ; It is all the same to him If I give him a good job or a poor one, so that It shines. Or you want your carriage varnished. There Is no getting the grease marks off, especially in a light color. Or they say, "Varnish will hide that." But varnish won't hide it; It will make It Bhow plainer, much to your dissatisfaction and mine too. Now, when you go to grease you car riage take some rags with you. Remove the wheel, wipe off carefully the axle clean and brignt ; see that there Is none left on the Inside of the hub-band. Then only apply a few drops of castor oil, which you will find the best, applied with a feather or dropped on, will be sufficient. But It should be done often according to the use of the vehicle. There is no use, and to speak plainly, it is a dirty, slovenly sight to Bee wagon or carriage hubs full of grease and dirt well dried on, killing the paint and varnish and spoiling the looks of the wagon, and adding nothing to the virtues of the driver. Get Rid of Moths. The early days of June should herald vigorous and exterminating warfare against these subtle pests. Closets, ward robes, all receptacles for clothing, should benipt!ed and laid open, their contents thoroughly exposed to light and air, and well brushed and shaken before being replaced. In old houses much infested with moths, all cracks in floors, wain scot's, or furniture should be brushed over with spirits of turpentine. Cam phor or tobacco should be placed among all garments, furs, plumes, etc., when laid aelde for the summer. To secure cloth linings of carriages from the at tacks of moths, sponge them on both sides with a solution of corrosive sub limate of mercury in alcohol, made just strong enough not to leave a white mark on a black feather. Moths may be killed by fumigating the article containing them with tobacco or sulphur, or by putting it, if practicable, into an oven heated to about 150 Fab. How to do It. How can eight gallons of wine in one vessel bedevidedlnto two equal portions, with no other conveniences for measur ing but two empty vessels, one holding iive and the other three gallons ?" Solution : Out of the eight gallons till the three gallon vessel, and empty it into the five gallon vessel. Then fill it again, and out of it fill up the five gallon vessel. This will leave one gallon in the smallest vessel. Empty the five gallons back into the eight, and then pour the one from the three into the five ; fill the three again and pour It into the five. There will now be four gal lons in the five gallon vessel, and the same quantity left iu the eight gallon vessel, the wine being equally divided. Feeding for Weight. In three pens, three hogs, each nearly full grown and about equal in weight, age and thriftiness, were fed for four months as follows: One, pea soaked corn ; one pen, dry corn. At the .close of the experiment those fed on dry corn had made the most weight. 'CiT Farmers should have a diversity of crops, so that if there is a failure in one there may be a hit lu another. The intelligent farmer lays his plans as much as does the military leader. , He looks ahead to see what will make him money ; and he don't put all the eggs under one hen, for she might leave the nett, and all would be addled. Farmers should plan wisely and carry out their plan to the best of theirabllity. S3?"
