mAKETHE HOMESTEAD ATTRACrIvE.

1t need not cost much money to adorn the
place one lives in. Begin by digging out the
briers and thistles of the door yard Plant a
few trees; then add a few Towering shrubs.
Perhaps that will answer forone year Next
year, make gravel walk or two, and set
few Towering plants by their sides. Your
wife and daughter will sow some flower seeds,
fyou viii only prepare a meat border for them
And these labors, so rewarding, will lead on
to others. The fenses and buildings viii be
kept in repair. Trees will be set out along
the roadside. The house will have window
blinds, the rooms will be provided, and books
and papers will not be missing. All these
things viii be regulated according to ones
ability. And as a general rule, whatever our
means, it is better to make improvements by
degrees, from year to year, than to do them
all up at once, 'by the job" Be assured
this is the way to find the most happiness in
home adorning. And remember, the indu-
renee of such an improvement does not end
with the individual family. They tell silent
ly, but with great effect, upon society. Eve
ry neighbor and every passer by feels them,
and many are led by such examples to 90
themselves and do likewise.

SCRATCHES In HORSES.

A correspondent of the last Neo England
Farmer thus refers to "bright varnish'' az
cure for cuts, wounds, and especially scratch
es in horses:
when worked at my trade in the city,
had occasion to use different kinds of paints
and oils among them was what is called
bright varnish. Frequently would cut my
self, sometimes so severely that have been
laid up for weeks. would try all kinds of
salve, bat the wound would be long time
healing. One day ] cut my hand severely,
and as | had nothing at hand TO put on il /
thought would try some of the bright warn
ish; as it is a sticky substance, thought it
might stick the wound together; accordingly
l bound up my hand with it and kept on at
work; the varnish relieved the pain, had
no soreness in the wound, and in one week it
was entirely healed. Ny son was saving
through board one day, and carelessly put
his hand under the board. He had his fore
finger bone entirely sawed off. putthe ends
together, put on the varnish and bound it up.
The result was, that after one week the band
was removed, and the finger had nearly grown
together. Ny horse once had scratches so
badly that it was difficult to get him to move
about. rubbed the parts effected with this
yarnish for two days, which caused perfect
cure. The varnish can be bought at the paint
shops for six or eight cents per quart.

A subscriber in Toga Co., N. Y. has 3
compost heap-a mixture Of ''leshings of
hides, hair, lime ashes, weeds, chip manure,
ETC., really everything 1t was Piled up in a
conical heap, and he recently found it "dry
and very hot and being burned up. He wants
TO know what is to be done. Simply work it
all over, making new pile and mingling it
with at least its own bulk of muck or peat, or
sods and parings Of turf, or simple soil. This
viii stay the destruction in a measure. The
mistake was in the original mixture. There
probably ought to have been greater proper
ton of vegetable matter, weeds, chip manure,
ETC., but there ought not to have been any
lime or ashes mixed with the feshings, hair,
and other animal matters. When lime and
animal matter are mixed, as in some OF the
refuse of tanneries, the influence of the hme
must be counteracted as far as possible, by
the addition of muck, soil, etc. The delete
rious action of lime and alkalies in such a
heap is to expel the ammonia in gaseous form,
which is hopelessly lost A loss just Of the
same character takes place whenever manure
heats and burns.-American Agric'dturfst.
