Walks and Paths.

A good walk, one which is dry in wet.
and firm in dry weather, one which will
not ''track" into the house, and which
will not allow weeds To grow in it, is
something very desirable to every one who
lives anywhere except in paved Streets
There is no difficulty in making walks to
answer all these conditions. if the materials
are readily obtainable, Most perfect spe-
cimens Of walks may be seen in the Gen.
trail Park, in the city Of New York, where
abundant means are at hand. An exc~va-
ton Of a foot or more in depth is first
made, then foundation of coarse stones
is laid down, this is covered with several
inches of stone broken by machinery to
abont the size of a walnut, and over this
q layer CT gravel.
Wuere good gravel can be obtained,
there is perhaps no better material for u
walk. Three or four inches laid Upon a
proper foundation Of stones or b.icA rub
Dish, and well rolled VIII make All excel
lent surface. Unlnrtuna,,iy all gravel will
not pack, and loose gravel is worse than
none at all. r-v "
The next bestthing to gravel is haid coal
ashes, which pack down with the aid Of u
roller into firm smooth walk. A path
neatly paved with small stones, thoushno.
90 pleasant to walk upon. is the best that
can be had in some places. Overournl
bricks, such as have been TOO much heated
ior building purposes, may be made 10
serve good purpose. In many parts Of the
West, plank is used, but it must be always
10 straight lines, and has an artificial look
which only the comfort will compensate
for. Tan bark makes pleasant walk,
and its color harmonizes well with the
surrounding verdure. Evensaw-dusl may,
on a pinch, be used tor the same purpose.
Grass walks are an abolnination. as they
are only passable during part Of the day.
The foundation Of walks may be made,
with the bottom concave or convex
The latter is preferable as j! allows the
water to pass off at both edges. The
surface OF the walk ought to BIZ rounded,
but not too coavey. A centre elevation OF
one inch to every five feet OF width is US
sally enough.-.4nlcricda .2gricuLvisi.

CELEBRATED HORSE G. CATTLE
POWDERS.

TNHESE Powders have proved, after
Il trial OF several years, 10 I've superior
to any preparation of the kind in use
The chief superiority of these Powders
arises from the fact that they nre COM
poed of Medicines that have Laxative,
Tonic and Purifying properties. The Lax
: alive elects crudties from the stomach and
: inteslines; the Tonic gives strength to
{ the system of the horse and the purifying
medicines contained in them cleanse the
blood and lay the foundation for healthy
and vigorous circulation. The use of
them improves the wind, strength ms the
appetite, and gives the horse fine smooth
and glossy skin-improving the appear
ance, vigor and spirit of this noble ami
NAL.
These Powders are not intended, as
most powders are, TO hloat the animal, so
as to give him the appearance Of being fat
when not really so-bnt, to remove the
disease and promote his general health.
These Powders will strengthen the sto-
mach and intestines, cleanse them from
otfensiv" matter and bring them to heal
thy state. They are sure prevention Of
Lung Fever, and a certain remedy for all
diseases incident to the Horse, as Clan

3 Powders, if used two or three times a
week during the winter and spring. your
Horse will never get the Lung Fever, Col
ic or Bolts. A few doses Of the Powders
will remove the worst cough on any horse.
Were the owners of horses to feed few
of these Powders every year, they might
save the lives of many valuable horses.
Mich COWS.
The properties this powder possesses in
increasing the quantity of Milk in Cows,
gives it an Importance and value which
should place it in the hands of every per-
son keeping COW. In fattening cattle,
it gives them an appetite, loosens their
hide, and makes them thrive much faster.

Of this important fact, as learned by attend

main secret Of his success in tanning hor-

California Sherry and MADEIRA.

Although the business of wne-making
in California is yet in It's infancy, the prog
ress which has already been made by vlne-
yard proprietors toward producing mer-
charitable article Of wine, capable Of COM
peting with the European article in the
worlds market, is most gratifying. In
addition TO the ordinary white and red
wines, Angelica and Port, the Buena Vista
Vinicultural Society at Sonoma is now
manufacturing Champagne in large quanti-
ties and Of fine quality, while the wine
growers of Los Angeles are turning their
attention, with success, to the production of
Sherry aud MADEIRA wines, equal in favor
and superior in purity 10 the imported
wines bearing their nanes. The process
by which these last-named wines are pro-
duced is extremely simple and not expen-
sive. The proprietor of the Rising Sun
and Los Angeles vineyards has perfected
his apparatus for the manufacture vi Sher-
ry and Madeira on large scale, and de-
scripton of his establishment, now in full
operation, will be interesting to the gene
raj reader.
A large apartment, in brick building, is
walled and plaslered so as to be air-lgh.,
and heated to mean temperature Of 1000
Fab. by means Of flues connected with
furnaces below. Into this chamber casks
containing common white wine intended
for conversion into Sherry and Madeira are
rolled, and the doors are closed SO as to
admit the influx Of no cold or damp air :;
for period Of seventy five to one hundrsd
days the heat is kept up continuously and
the wine is pumped from cask TO cask as
often as possible during the whole period,
aud the wine under this process gives off
an immense volume of gas, which is high
ly infammable and is extremely dangerous
to the workmen, and not only loses in
bulk to considerable extent, but changes
totally in character, body, color, favor
and bouquet, all becoming OF different
kind the Sherry rpens under this treat
ment first, the Madeira requiring from nine
~ to one hundred days 10 fully ripen rea-
dy for market; the change is complete
when the casks comes out of the chamber,
but age gives tone and mellowness to the
wine, which will contnne to improve for
years.--Scientifc american.
