The EsGLIsR Iron TRADE.-DEcLINE IN
THE DEMAND PROM TIE UNITED STATES
A correspondent U: the Manchester EN-
glaud) Guariian complains of the gloomy
prospect OF the iron trade, one of the Chief
causes Of which, he says, is the falling of
in the demand from the United States.
The writer then adds:
In 1884 there was an exceedingly large
demand Tor iron from America, an increase
OF one-th I'd having taken place in the value
of the exports from 1923. The Ameri-
can crisis of 1854 caused a reaction, which
The magn fcent crops of the last and pres
ent wear haze removed. The stocks in the
States are known to be small, but notwith-
standing this fact, the orders have been on a
scale much below the average. This sstate
of things has ruled in Stafurdshire as well
as in these counties, and the important
question Of a reduction in pri es will force
Itself upon the attention Of the iron masters
at the ensuing quar;criy meetings. While
bar IRON coatnues at 70 per ton, the iron
masters ia the Uni:ed States become ;ocmi-
duble competitors with the English manu-
facturer; aGa if the price of iron were re-
duced 10 Es per ton-which will, in all
probab ilit, be the case at the next meeting
the American demand would, 10 great
extent he regaineJ Indeed, we heard it
conte ended that the price should be reduced
to f7 per ton. II is impossible for iron
masters, at the present price OF labor and
materia s, TO make iron remuneratively at
less than 80 per ton. 1t follows, therefore,
that huieyer be the amount OF the reduc-
ton in price, corresponding decline will
be made in the wages of the men-a step
very undesirable during the present high
price OF provisions.

HoksEs Too WELL FED.-A great pro-
portion of our horses are too well fed-ob-
tain more food than they require. In this
land of plenty m st of our valuable horses
are over fed, and more especially does this
happen. among animals owned by wealthy
and liberal individuals. The impression we
wish to convey TO the mind of the reader
is, that the food Of such, is not proportioned
to their labor--in other words, there exists
a disproportion between the amount of car
bon taken in the form Of food, and the or-
y9ea received in the process of respiration.
Now to Illustrate this, we will suppose that
man engaged in mercantile pursuits owns
nor the inclination TO give the one or the
other the necessary amount of exercise;
they stand P to full CRIB, from day to day:
enjoying-or rather, gorging themselves
with certain amount OF fodder over and
ab-ve what they actually require, and much
more than they really need; the surplus is
often stored up in the form Of fat, and this
induces acuta diseases, and they die Of loo
much food and care. 1t is very rare that we
have occasion to recommend a man to feed
his horse more literally, but almost always
the reverse. Starvation is said to be the
cause for many equine diseases, but SO far
as our experience goes. such cases are, in
this country, very rare. We conceive the
term Starvation to be libel upon civil
ization; and SO infrequent is lis application
among nation of husbandmen, that it is
omitted in cur dictionaries. A man on
barren rock, or horse in the deserts ofI
Arabia: might probably starre, but the idea
oil the latter Starring in the ssvicinity oc a.
weli-stocked barn, or stable--within s,ri-
king distance OF land of plenty--seems to
US L very absurd conclusion
There are enough horses to be found dress
ed up in the garb Of starvation; having
tight skins, prominent ribs, and cadaverous
countenances, living, yet half dead. But
they know nothing of the Famine in E-ypt;'I
they get enough, but too mach ofMe same

Bathing.
From Halls Journal of Health.

FROM lldI 5OGI1di Ol Ilca4ll.
Once a week is often enough for decen,
white man to wash himself all over. and
whether in summer or winter, that ought 10
be done with soap, warm water, and hogs
hair brush. in roon showing at least
seventy degrees FahrenheH. II man is a
pig in his nature, then 10 amount OF was!!i-
ing will keep him clean, inside or out. Such
a one needs a bath every time he turEr
round. He ca1 do nothing neatly.
Baths should be taken ear ly IN the morn
ing, for it is then that the system Possesses
the power Of reaction in the highest degree.
ANY kind of bath ii dangerous soon alter q
meal, or soon iatiguing exercise. No man
or woman should take bath at the close
OF the day, unless by the advice of the
family physician. Muny man, in attempt
ing to cheat his doctor cut of fee, has
cheated h msef out of his liei aye, it is
done every Gay.
The safest mode Of a cold bath is plunge
into river; the safest time is instantly
utter getting up. Tne necessary effort OF
swimming 10 shore compels reaction, and
the effect is delightful.
The best, safest. cheapest, and most un-
iversalIy accessible moce of keeping the
surface of the body cIran, besides the once.
a:week washing, with soap, warm water,
ana hogs hair brush, is as follows:
Soon as YOU get out of bed in the morn
ing, wash your face, hands, neck and breast;
then, into the same basin of water, put both
feet al once, for about minute. rubbing
them brlskly all the time with The towel
which mas been dampened by wiping the
face, feet, &c: wipe the whole body well
fast and hn ID, mouth shut, breast projecting
Let the whole thing be done within five
minutes.
At night, when you 90 to bed, and when
ever you get out OF bed during the night, or
when you ind yourself waketul or restless,
spend from Two to five minutes in rubbing
your whole body, with your hands, as far as
you can reach, in every direction. This has
a tendency to preserve that sofiness and
mobility of skin which is essential TO health
and which too frequent washings will always
DESTROY.
That precautions are necessary, in con-
nection with the bath room, is impressively
slgnifed in the death OF au American lady
OF refinement ard position, lately, after TAX
ing bath, soon after dinner; Of Surgeon
Hume, while alone. in warm bath; and of
an eminent New Yorker, under similar cir
cumstauces, all within year.

SHELTER WANTEO.-Shelter is want CT
the first necessity in our climate of cold and
storm, and 10 farmer may neglect, with any
show Of economy, sundry provisions o: this
nature. A portion o. these wants are every
where conceded-others are earelessly for
gotten and NEGLECTED. We too. often see
farms upon which no provision has been
made for the shelter of prrtion Of the
stock through the winter. Sheep, colts.
Young cattle. and perhaps the cows. are left
to shver unpro;ec ed. Does the farmer
know that he can i'll afford the loss which
resultsl To keep an animal expo: e.! 10 Il
W, ather in good ordsr requires nea /; double
the food necessary when comfortably shelf
cred. And the incre sed value of the ma
nure will repay the trouble attending the
extra care then required. There is heavy
loss in the exposure of manLres to the
weather. The chief value of a fertilizer
lies in that part which water will dissolve.
Let it lie and leach through the winter ard
spring, and good share OF lis worth is gone;
shelter it in beds and cellars, and saving
will be made--proving this the truest eco
nomv where manure is valued and good
crops desired-Rurdl Nelr Yorker.

How To KEEP PEAS PROM BIRDS AND
MIcE.-A little rosin powdered and busted

tects them from the depredations of birds,

oats; grind them together as if there was
only buckwheat; thus will you have cakes

RECIPE TO MAKE A HAM BETTER THAN 4
WEsrPHALIA.--As soon as the hog is cold
enough to be cut up, take the two hams, and
cut Out the round bone, SO as to have the
hum not too thick, rub them we'll with com.
mon salt, and leave them in a large pan for
tree cays. When the salt has drawn uu'
all..the blood, throw the brine, away, and pro
ceed as follows:
Have two hams, of about eighteen pounds
each, take one pound of moist sugar, one
pound of common salt, two ounces of saltpe-
ter, then put them into vessel large enough
to contain them in the liquor, remembering
always to keep the salt over them; after
| they have been in this state three days, throw
over them a bottle of the best vinegar
One month is requisite for the cure ofthem;
during that period, they must be turned o.
ten in the brine; when you take them out,
drain them we'll; powder them with some
coarse flour, and hang them in dry place.
The same brine can serve again, observing
that you must not put SO much salt on the
next hams that you f+skle. This method
has been tried, and pronounced fa' better than
the West phalia.
FURNITURE Polish The proper way 10
make beeswax and turpentine for mahogany
furniture which is not French polished, is
TO shr ed ha lf-anounce OF beeswax very thin
and fine, and put it into such a thing as d
clean blacking bottle, with giil,or quarter
of pint, of spirits of turPentine; stir 1t well
and put it by till next day, ard then stir it
about we'll with piece of stick; and let it
stand Tor another day .iand it will be quite
fit for use, if the beeswax has been shred
fine Keep the stick in the bottle to take
little out with when you want to use it.;
as you must use only very little at time.
1t must on no account be melted over the
the FIRE, as It is so inflammable it would
burst into flame, and perhaps set fire to
the house.
CUT GLASS should bc rubbed with damp
sponge dipped in whiting, then brush this
off with clean brush, and wash the vessel
in cold water.
To MAKE HENS LAY.-Previde them
warm, light, dry place and not crowded.
Give them easy access to clean water, and
variety of food, such as corn, corn and cob
m cal, into which are stirred a few scraps,
with boiling wafer in cold weather., together
with boiled potatoes, pounded oy ster OR clam
shells, gravel, pounded, dry bones ard oals,
barley or wheat, if convenient. But the
corn. cob meal, potatoes and scraps are the
chief i;ems.--N. E. Farmer.
