To Keep Silk.

Silk articles should not be kept fode,!
in white paper, as the chloride OF lime
used in bleaching the paper will probably
impair the color Of the silk. Brown or
blue paper is better the yellowish smooth
indian paper is best of all. Silk intended
for dress should not be kept long in the
house before it is made up as lying in the
folds will have tendency to impair lis
durability by causing it to cut or split,
particularly if the silk has been thickencd
by gum. Thread lace wells are very east
ly cut satin and velvet being soil are not
ea:ily cut, but dresses of velvet should
not be laid by with any weight above
them. If the nap of thin velvet is laid
down, it is not possible to raise i! up
again. Hard silk should never be wrink-
led, because the thread is easily broken
in the crease, and it never Can be recti-
fed. The way to take The wrinkles on.
of silk scarfs or handkerchiefs is to mois-
ten the surface evenly with a sponge and
with some weak glue, and then pin the
silk with toilet pins around the selveges
on mattress or feather bed, taking pains
to draw out the silk as tight as possible.
When dry the wrinkles will h we dis
appeared. The reason of this is obvious
to every person. 1t is nice Job to
dress light colored silk, and lew should
try it. Some silk articles may be moist
ened with weak glue or gum water, and
the wrinkles ironetl out on the wrong
side by hot tatiron. -... .-rs

LIQUID Manure.

f'.a 90
DIR. yoelcker, the celebrated agriculai-
raj chemist Of England, in recent lecture
on the subject of manures, made the fol-
lowing remarks 49,
"He need not speak of the superior val
lie of the liquid over the solid excreman-
titious matters of dung, for that was well
known to intelligent iarmers; bnt ti,eie
was chemical point to which he must be
permitted 10 direct attention, and ii was
this [a-.a
The liquid portion of rotten dung had
Almost active power of dissoIving the more
valuable fertiizirg matters OF the solid ex-
crements of animals. They know, for
instance, that phosphate Of lime-the ma
terial on which principally the value Of
bone dust depended-was insnluble in
pure water, but he found it to be soluble
to great extent in liquid manure. As
the liquid in rotten dung dissolved large
proportion Of the more valuable constitu-
ents of the solid excrements, they would
now see all additional reason for presery-
ing their liquid manure, for in SO doing
they would not only retain the tertil;zing
matters in urine, but they would also pre-
vent the waste of the most valuable con-
stituents of the solid excrcmen.s. He hat
dwelt on that chemical point, because il
had come under his notice especially, Il
consequence If an examination Of the J..
quid portion of the dung, sent to him By
Mr.. Campbell, Of Buscolt Park. In thai
liquid he found very large p oportion d
phosphate of lime, which was Otherwise
nsoluble."

The Hog Disease.

A correspondent Of the American Stock
Journal gives the following remedy for the
sore throat in hogs: .
The best remedy is to open The pores
or holes on the inside of the fore legs, by
rubbing them with something rough, or
take the point Of a pocket-kniie blade and
open the holes, then rub them so as to
roughen the skin; grease well with lard.
The above will generally cure them, but
if the case is a bad one, after you have
rubbed as above directed, put large sea-
ton above the knee, OIL each leg. have
tried experiments on several cases, and it
has never failed. '.t
Tao cause OF Quinsy is corn feeding.
A hog fed OIL oats will not he troubl* 4
with the disease. Small quantities OF
gunpowder given to hogs frequently, will,
| believe, prevent ii. But my advice to
all persons breeding hogs, is, never TO
feed old sows which are breeding stock,
or pigs, any corn, as corn will kill large
hog when fed TOO much.

The OPERATION OF WATERING-
Hundreds OF plants that will bear ordinary
cold above ground cannot stand the freez-
ing of their tender roots. In summer
time all plants in pots are exposed to the
wind, sun aud rain. In respect to the
watering of plants there is commonly no
little misrepresentation. In long, rainy
seasons, nobody thinks of watering The
plants standing out of doors, and yet there
will be found many so hushy as 10 throw
off any quantity of rain, and thereby iDjure
themselves; on this account, too much
care cannot be exercised in frequent en-
aminaiions, whenever there are many
plants kept in pots, i'll order TO insure their
successful growth. Another point may
be referred to in this connection, namely,
that wherever the plants are placed in
summer time, tie bottom should be hard.
Whatever the malerial-stones, brick, or
other substances it should be impervious
to worms, and roots, otherwise the one
will fill the pot, much TO the delriment of
the plant, and the roo s will penetrate, so
that when the plants have to be removed
they will lose all the youngest aud best
portion of their roots. Many form hard
foundation of ashes, but this is only a
partial remedy, and for only short time;
as soon as they get saturated with wet, the
worms pass through with impunity, and
roots will take hold as freely as in earth
