To Make Water Cold Without Ice. The
following is q simple mode of rendering water
almost as cold as ice. Let the jar, pitcher or
vessel used for water be surrounded with one
or more folds Of coarse cotton, to be constants
ly wet The evaporation of the water viii
carry off the heat from the inside, and reduce
it TO a freezing point. In India and other tro-
pical cmes, where ice cannot be procured, this
j. common. Let every mechanic and laborer
have at his place of employment two pitchers
thus provided, and with lids or covers, one TO
contain water for drinking, the other for eva-
poration, and he can always have supply Of
cold water in warm weather. Any person can
test this by dipping finger in water and hold
ing il in the air on warm day; sitter doing this
three or four times he will find his finger un-
comfortably cold.
To XII Ticks on Steep.-Mr J. A. French
Of North Clarendon, VT, writes TO the New
England Farmer, that faxseed, fed at the rate
Of a tablespoonful each day to each animal,
will have the effect of destroying the ticks, and
will at the same time very much promote the
health of the sheep.
TO Take Ink out of Linen.-Take piece Of
taIow, melt II, and dip the spoiled part of the
linen into TIE melted taIIow; the linen may
then be washed, and the spots will disappear
without injurng the linen.
To Detect Alum in Bread.-Make weak
decoctiou Of logwood in water, 10 which pieces
of The suspected bread are to be DIPPED; # it
contain alum, it will acquire decided purple
dye. With pure bread, however, no such &C.
,loring will take place.
tn Detect Rntter Adulternted aoith Lard
Throw small piece Of the suspected butter
into clear fire, and if it burns with crack
ling noise it is adulteratsd.
