To FreShen Rancid Butter.

Here is a fact worth q years sub
scription to a paper: To a pint o f
water add thirty drops (about .halfa
tcaspoonful) of liquid chloride Of
lime. Wash this in two and q half
pounds of rancid butter. When every
particle of butter has come in contact
with the water, let it stand an hour
or two : then wash the butter we'll
again in pure water. The butter is
then left without any odor, and has
the sweetness of fresh butter. These
prepar atoms of lime have nothing in
furious in them.

10 Cook old Potatoes.

Peel them ; put them in "a tin or
porcelain lined kettle ; throw in a
little salt cover them with boiling
water let them boil until just done,
then pour the water off and set them
on the fire uncovered a few moments
that the remaining water may evapo-
rate. Set them on the table whole.
They are then as mealy and sweet as
fresh potatoes.

Anew Remedy for Insect Ra1ages,

New Remedy for Insect RaTages.
Dear SRA most useful and simple
method of preventing the ravages of
insects upon plants and trees has
come under my observation. 1t
seems that most insects that infest
plants have a horror Of vinegar, and
this is the substance to be employed.
The mixture to DO used consists of
one part of French vinegar to nine
parts OF water. l have used good APP
pie vinegar, and find it effectual TO
insects or flowers which were badly
effected [. is to be applied by means
of a garden syringe or a watering
pot with a fine nose. The same
article says that the result of last
Years experiments were that the
fruit trees sprinkled with the vinegar
solution bore fruit abundantly, while
those not sotreated produced scarcely
any!

The advantage which the Warner Sulky Revolving
RAKE Possesses over all nt6eTs, will be readily CONF
pretended. Il gathers the hay frre frnm dust and
sand, carries II clean, and IN dumping csses the win
row or rick IN good shape for pitching.
The rake Is made Of wood, and, In case Of b~reakage,
can he repaired by the operator, thereby saving the
delay Of sending 70 a blacksmith or maehinisi.
II Is built Of the very best material, and Is uiore du-
raola than any other wheel rake, anI Afforded at u less
price than any uther nrst class rake.
The rake-drnw shafts, levers Sc, may be detached
at pleasure from the sulky, leaving the latter CON-
plete in bself, and ready for use. Being we'll built,
gotten up In good style, with an excellent spring seat,
the sulky Is a complete carriage Of It's class and Is
alone almost worth tho price asked for shIky aud rake
combined.
These advantages are possessed by no no other rake,
and must eomlnend themselves toal wanting a COM
plete Horse Rake.

Leaving behind
Tho same dull hum
Like muillcd drum

And now, through all the street,
There is the sound of feet,
And breaking through The air
A strange, uncarthly blarc.
While from the distance swcls
The toll Of monster bells,
Whose voice. ms thunder loud,
Guides the fast hurrying crowd.
Now from its novels and its holes
The city pours its thousand souls;
Each eager in The race to gaze
Upon the fast dcvouring blaze!
Each tapping up, with hungry eyes,
The flames ;ha, sweep The midnight skies :;
Each iicrccly striving FROM the van,
To feast upon rlincd man!
At last, through !i,h and rime, ihc spot is
found
Aud gaping thousands Fill each inch of

Each reckless ru(ian dashes through the

Seeking by force TO thrust his way along
While at yoGr feet the playful, bursting
