TIE Gaze or HARNEsS.-Leather ID seldom
injured by being vet, il hung up TO dry, instead
Of being left in mass on the floor or in q corner,
where the the drying is 50 slow a. to create
mould. For general use, harness should be fair
y oiled, and for this purpose either pure meats
foot oil should be used or the article known BY
the couriers - "daubing," and this should be
rubbed in while the leather is moist, but not wet.
The harness should be wrapped up in . vet cloth
one day, before the application of " daubing" or
meats foot oil; this shO1ld be rubbed on smartly
with brush for efficient length Of time, to
insure its entrance into the leather, rather than
leave Il upon its immediate surface. If the
leather be positively dry, this substance cannot
enter, and therefore the necessity of its being
moist and plant at the time of application.
Varnish should never be applied; it fills the
pores and prevents the necessary access of air,
causing the leather to become crisp and rigid,
and IN . short space of time it il rendered ten
der, causing it to crack, break, etc. Before ap
plying any oily substance to the leather all dirt
should be thoroughly removed from its
surface, and no other material than lamp
black should ever be mixed with oil where it
10 necessary to blacken the leather. Shoe
blacking is sometimes used, and always for
Injurious effect; it frequently contains sulphuric
acid, when brought in contact With leather rap
Idly destroys il. When the leather is very dry,

cause IL not 90 great Vegetable oils should
never be applied to barnes of any kind, for after

usefulness. LEATHER curtains should never be
vanished, bot always be kept perfectly plant by
very moderate and frequent applications of the

PiASrlxo EvERoRERx's IN RE FALL.-The
0srdssr's Aonthly, makes the following notes
about planting Evergreens in the fall:
The latter end of August is one of the best
seasons OF the year 70 transplant evergreens
The young growth Of the past season has 60,
pretty well hardened, 90 % to permit of but very
little evaporation-and the earth being warm,
new roots push with great rapidity, and the tree
becomes established in the ground before cold
au,umn winds begin. The chief difficulty is that
the soil is usually very dry, which prevents much
speed with the operation; and the weather be
ing generally very warm, the trees have to be
planted in the ground almost as fast a. taken up
% that il is not safe to bring them from dis
lance. 1t is well, therefore, to make all ready
10 anticipation Of rain, when no time may b.
lost in hav 'g the work pushed through. Should
spell OF q : weather ensue-which in Septem.
Der or October is very hkeIy-one good water.
ing should be given, sufficient to soak well
through the soil and well about the roots. A
basin should be made to keep the water from
running away from the spot, and to assist its
soaking in. After being well watered, the loose
soil should be drawn in lightly over the vatered
SOIL which will then aid in preventing the water
from drying out again."

hours it will have absorbed from the room nearly
eli the respired AID psrspired gases of the room.
the air OF which will have become pure, but the
water utterly filthy. This depends on the fact
that water has the faculty Of condsnsing and
thereby absorbing oil the gases, which it does
without increasing its own bulk. The colder
water il, the greater its capacity to contain these
gases. At ordinary temperature . pint Of water
will contain pint Of carbonic acid gas, and sew.
sral pints OF ammonia. This capacity il nearly
doubled BY reducing the temperature to that oil
iee. Hence water, kept in the room awhile, ID

the same reason. the water in . pump stock
should Ill be pumped out in the morning before
any il used. That which has stood in the pitcher
