To understand the philosophy
Of this beautiful and often SUBJ
lime phenomenon, so often wit
messed since the creation Of the
world. and SO essential to the very
existence Of plants and animals,
q few facts derived from observa-
ton and q long train Of expert
ments, must be remembered.
/. Were the atmosphere eve-
rywhere, at all times, of a uniform
temperature, we should never
have rain, or hail, or snow. The
water absorbed BY it in evapora-
ton from the sea and the earth's
surface, would descend in an i'm
perceptible vapor, or cease to be
absorbed by the air when it was
once fully saturated,
2. The absorbing power of the
atmosphere, and consequently its
capacity to retain humidity, is
porportionately greater in warm
than cold air.
8. The air near the surface Of
the earth is warmer than it is in
the region Of the CLOUDS. The
higher we ascend from the earth,
the colder do we find the atmos-
phere. Hence the perpetual
snow on very high mountains in
the hottest climate.
Now, when from continued
evaporation, the air is highly sat-
urated with vapor, though it be in
visible and the sky cloudless, its
temperature is suddenly reduced
by cold currents descending from
above; or rushing from a higher
to cooler latitude, its capacity
to remoisture is diminished, clouds
are formed, and the result is rain,
Air condenses rs it cools, and,
ike asponge filled with water and
compressed, pours out the water
which its diminished capacity can
not hold. How singular, yet how
simple, the philosophy Of rain
What but 0mniscence could have
devised such an arrangement fal
watering the earth?-N Y. Oh

Taxing care 81 Farm Impiomcntss
Every farmer sho1ld have a
house Tor keeping his implements.
II should be tight and try, and
adapted for repairing, altering,
cleaning, and sharpening them.
Every implement, when not re-
quired for use, should have its
proper place, and before it is laid
past for winter, all the bright met
al belonging to it should be care
fh!ly dried and well creased to
prevent rusting. Rust is a viper
which poisons tho farmers purse;
many farmers allow their plows,
harrows, and cultivators, to rust
and rot in the corners Of open.
damp sheds, during six months Of
the year, and they seem surpris-
ed that their implements do not
last longer. All farm implements,
after having been used during the
spring. summer and fall, should
have their woodwork painted, al
90 their coarse metal work; AMI
every bolt and nut should be oil
ed. The loss Of TN ounce Of iron
by rust, is equal to the loss Of an
ounce Of gold. Careialness in
all things is economy, and little
extra trouble saves extra ex-
pense.

The farm preserves the family
n its integrity. The home has In
that charming word, and that
moro charming thing, the Preside,
around which the parents and
children gather, and where tho
bright and cheerful blaze upon
the hearth Is but true type Of
the fame Of love that CLOVIS in cv-
cry heart. The parents have been
drawn together, not by the sor-
did motives Of wealth, or By the
ambitious desire Of social display,
but for the personal qualities seen
in each other. The glory Of that
fireside 10 the husband is that
tho vile is there, who is the head
Of the women, and the band in
that home circle. Here they
gather ut morning and evening,
and at noon. Their board is al
most always surrounded with the
same circle. Here they spend
the long winter evenings together,
enlivened with the schoolbooks of
children, the newspapers and jour-
mails, and the works Of history
and science. A constant homo
gsneous influence, goes forth from
this circle to the young hearts that
are forming there. Parental Wig
lance guards the young against
wicked companions. If the re-
ligious influences are right in that
home, they will all grow up to be
good citizens, to DO pillars in soci-
ETY., wherever their lot may be
cast. The sons follow the bust
ness Of their father as soon as
their labors are available. They
are with him In the field. and by
tho way, and at home. They form
industrious habits, and are pre-
pared for the responsibilities of

To swccsen Rancid Buster.

To SWceteu Rancid Buttcr.
An agriculturist, near Brussels,
in Europe, having succeeded in
removing the bad smell and dis
agreeable taste Of butter by beat
ing or mixing it with chloride Of
lime, he was encouraged by this
happy result to continue his ex-
periments by trying them upon
butter so rancid as to be past use;
and he has restored to butter, the
odor and taste of which we're in
suppor;able to all, the sweetness
of fresh butter. This operation
is extremely simple and practical
BILE for all. 1t consists in beat
ing the butter in a sufficient guam
tity Of water, into which had
been mixed twenty-five or thirty
drops Of chloride &C lime to two
pounds Of butter. After having
brought al its parts in contac|
with the. water, it may be left fol
an hour or two; aiterward with
drawn, and washed anew in fresh
water. The chloride Of lime US
ed, having nothing injurious in it
can safely be increased; but after
having verified the experiment
it was found that twenty-five o.
thirty drops to two and a hal
pounds Of butter were sufficient

Brick cisterns are expensive;
wooden ones are too perishable
and temporary. With n little
mechanical skill and a hand or
two, any person can build his own
cisterns, at very little cost. In
exeavating the hole or pit, dig II
some six or eight inches larger 10
diameter than tho sizc OF the IN
tended cistern, allowing that
space for tho wall; eight feet d.
ameter and ten feet deep makes
quite a large ono, and will con-
tain an ample supply Of water
for any family use; six feet diam
eter and eight feet deep Is good
size. With light inch plank make
a wheel or circle, with q tread or
periphery one foot broad, the di.
ameter Of the wheel or circle be-
ing that Of the proposed cistern.
The cistern having been dug six
or eight inches In diameter larger
than the mold wheel. place the
wheel on tho bottom Of the ex-
cavation exactly in the centre, SO
that there Is u space Of six or
eight inches between the wheel
and the bank Of the excavation.
Have ready n bed Of grouting,
made thin Of gravel mixed with
one part sand and two parts by
draulic cement, or water lime: ill
the space around the wheel with
this. If gravel cannot be easily
procured, sand or free stone, bro
kon into pieces about the size of
nutmegs, may be substituted in
its place; and If neither gravel,
sand. nor freestone is convenient,
any rock broken into pieces Of
about two inches, will answer the
purpose; ill the space around the
wheel with them, and groat with
one part sand and two parts CO.
ment. In the course Of fifteen
Or twenty minutes, or while pre-
pairing another bed Of grouting,
the first layer will have set or con-
glomerated; then raise the wheel
ton inches, leaving lap Of two
inches on the first layer I'LL up
as before, and so on until finish
ed. When the circular wall, six
or eight inches thick, is thus made
tight and dry. remove tho wheel
and Gil the bottom Of the cistern
some six or eight inches with the
same grouting, and now q solid
conglemerated wall and bottom
are completed. Plaster the whole
with two good coats Of mortar
made one part sand and two parts
cement; when this is dry, finish
with one smooth, thin coat Of CO.

structed will be as tight as a jug
