= A MIXTURE FOX w ASdlNG SLOl HES' lu
Berlin, Prussia, the washer. women use a
mixture of two ounces of -turpentine and a
quarter of an ounce of spirits Of sal ammon-
lac, well mixed together The, mixture is
put into> bucket of warm water, in which
hale pound Of soap has been dissolved.
Into this mixture the dirty clothes are i'm
mersed during the night, aud the next day
washed.
The most dirty cloth is perfectly freed of
all dirt, and after two rinsings in fresh wa
ter, the cloth has not the least smell of tur-.
pentine. The cloth does not require so
much rubbing, and fine linen is much longer
preserved by it.
Mr.. BROWN, of the Ohio Farmer, who
has travelled from Cleveland to Cincinnati
within the past week, speaking Of the pros.
pect of the growing crops: have never
seen the prospect Of the crops more fattering
from Cleveland clear round by Hamilton,
Dayton, Xenia, Columbus, &C., there is
scarce an exception, The upland wheat
fields, in Butler are much winter-kiled and
in some places the fruit is partially injured
with these exceptions, everything promises
WE'LL. The breadth of corn planted is i'm
mense, and farmers are everywhere encour.
aged they expect to sing such Harvest
Home, the coming summer and fall, as has
not greeted their granaries for many day.
CHANGE OF FEED FOR ,HoRsEs.-The kind
of food. for animals should be changed fre-
qaently. A horse, long kept on shorts, will
be affected by a fever in. his legs and feet,
producing result similar to founder. Shorts,
corn meal, or cob meal, should never be
given, except in mixed state with cut hay,
or straw. This will require them to eat
slower, and the food is better prepared for
digestion. If given alone, it ferments rapid.
ly in the stomach, produces general fever,
injuries the digestive powers, and finally pro-
duces stiffness throughout the limbs. When
these results are discovered, the remedy is a
change of food. Continued feeding on oats,
alone, will produce the same results as shorts
or meal; and many founder is caused by
it, as we'll as by feeding, or drinking when
the, horse is warm. Ii necessity cnmpels a
person to feed horse, on shorts, corn meal,
or cob meal, supply of salt should be sd.
ded to prevent fermentation in the stomach
Hrlirse CoRs.-Hilling. corn is an at.
tempted substitute for deep ploughing. If
corn land is ploughed deep, there isAo need
Of billing. The roots will strike down, in.
stead of stopping at the hard pan, and wal.
ting for mellow earth, in tie form Of billing,
to- put over them: BY deep ploughing you
give the roots achance to 60 down, and they
will go as deep as nature requires, without
having the,earth piled over them. Never
disturb the roots BY ploughing after the
tepth of July. fweeds, or grass are get.
ting up, cut them off, but it is better to let
the wheat and the tares-gfow together, Slest
while ye dig up the tares, Se pluck up also
the corn with them."-0hio Farmer. .

"Great care is taken of their cows, both
in the winter and.in the summer; and in a

the field covered with blankets: ay, even
more commonly than horse is blanketed
here in the winter. This care is ell-repaid
by greater flow of milk and less con.

Since the drouth has become severe
the miIkmaids bring the light pals Of

ish In quantity In proportion 10 the

because they do not obtain enough

she should have so pounds.
The following is an extract from the
report:
"Our trials have confirmed the view
that cows, to givethe greatest possible
quantity Of milk, must daily receive
and consume one thirtieth of their
live weight in hay, or an equivalent
therefore. Ifmore feed be given, the
excess goes to the formation of flesh
and fat, without occasioning cores
ponding increase in the yield, OF milk;
but II, on the contary, less feed be
furnished, the amount and value Of the
milk. viii be Immediately and consid-
erably diminished"
We cannot now say what number Of
pound Of green grass would as a
general thing, be equivalent to one
pound or one hundred pounds Of good
hay, but it is pretty evident that the
most Of the mich cows IN our vicinity
do not obtain it now in the common
pastures
The same experimenters also lay it
down thats.in order that cows may
yield abundant and good milk in
winter. they must receive certain
quantity of concentrated food, such
as bran, meal, or rape cake, 1.-THE sub
stance left after pressing the oil from
rape seed similar to oil cake. One
pound Of rape cake would not be re-
placed.by two pounds Of hay. When
the attempt was made, there was
found especially decrease in the
amount Of butter contained in the
milk. The quantity of cake may be
increased to two pounds daily, per
head, and as in the remaining fodder,
the amount of beets, carrots, potatoes
and straw is liberal, bad taste in the
butter will be less preceived.-Aaint

Salt YOUR Stock.


Most persons, probably, are aware
of the beneficial effects of salt upon
the human system. By the ancients,
salt was held in high estimation, and
every one has doubtless noticed how
extremely insipid meat and vegetables
are when cooked without it, or with
only an infficient supply. Horses,
cattle and sheep, in short all domestic
animals, should be regularly supplide
with it at all seasons. The liberal use
Of these mineral improves condition
and promotes their health, and when
they have acquired the habit of par
taking of it freely, there is no danger
to be apprehended from their taking
too much.
Salt promotes digestion, and destroys
or dislodges worms, which at certain
seasons effect a Judgment in the stom-
ach and alinentary canal. We have
most of us, probably Witnessed with
what avidity wild and undomesticated
animals seek at certain times the creeks
and estuaries which indent the shores
of the ocean--the'salt lakes, and what
long journeys, dangers and difficulties
they voluntary encounter to reach
them. This is the result Of pure
instinct; it is not to be attributed to
mere caprice, as some have imagined.
Horses, sheep neat cattle and swine
are all equally eager for this sanatory
and invigorating substance, and can
not be maintained in healthy and
thriving condition without It, The
former, it has been remarked, when
literally supplied with salt, are seldom
afflicted by the "bots" or with that
scarcely less to be dreaded diesase, the
cholic. In sailing sheep. especially
during the vernal months. when the
green, succulent and highly fermenta'
BE matter of which they partake has
a tendency to create stomachic der.
anyements, we have thought it adj
visabled to have a shed erected, and
fitted with range of boxes, in which
a supply Of salt can be constantly KEEP
and to which the animals, at all times
can have free and unrestrained accress
A mixture Of one part to two or three
parts Of wood ashes, may also be de-
posted in some Of the boxes. This
mixture possesses highly sanatory
properties, and should be provided
for all animals, particularly when firs
sent to pasture. They soon acquii'
relish for it, and partake Of it will
great avidity.
Salt is valuable article in com
post. Accordingto Cuthbert Johnson
statement, it is now extensively use,
for this purpose by the farmers Q
Great Britain, and has been foun,
singularly beneficial, particularly o.
light soils. The squash vine de

should here be observed, that th
direct application of very strong brin
will prove fatal to the plants, and tina
It should be used for this purpose onl

merits of the books, as well could without the
actual using ofthem In tho recitation room. Prof
Robinson must be, should Judge from his books

He would seem to have, either as the gin Of ma

and TO be remarkably adopt In articles for abbre
Waiting the methods of solving problems.
The Algebra is clear and sufficiently diffuse In
explanations, and furnishes an abundant stock o.
problems with explicit and ingenious modes OF
solving them. This work Is sufficiently extensive
for the ordinary purposes Of a course Of College
instruction.
The Geometry embodies a great mount ofGeo-
metric knowledge In compass smaller than
usual. The diagrams are well conceived and re-
markably well executed.
The Treatise on Surveying anu Navigation isfuli,
and gives many interesting facts which may be
new TO most Of our students. The diagrams are,
as in the Geometry, unusually well done.
The natural Philosophy Is des5&5dly interesting
not only matter, but for the manner in which
principles are explained tnd facts stated. Not
only the student but the general reader may find
amusement and profit from the book.
