SUPERIOR CEMENT for any purposes,
but especially for substances that are ex-
posed to moisture, may be made by simply
dissolving common gum shellac in alcohol,
and applying it like glue.
THE Rural NeW Yorker tells New
York correspondent that it will pay him
to pay ten dollars ton for plaster and
haul it fifteen miles to apply to newly
seeded sandy loan soil.

gists, with liquid water glass, to al thick
paste, and then coating the cracks with it.

its metal ingredients, and the more CON-

|. EXCELLENT PUDDINe.-Three table
|ispoonfuls of tapioca soaked in cold water
Iltill it is swelled enough, then add one
quart of milk, and put in double kettle,
or in pitcher, and set into boiling water,
sand when the tapioca is sufficiently tender,
add the yolks of three eggs, a small teacup
of sugar, a little salt; stir this into the
/ boiling milk, season with vanilla, then
pour half in dish, add the whites of the
eggs beaten to frOth, then pour the re-

| THE Herald Of Health tells us that sleep.
ing after dinner is bad practice, and that
| ten minutes before dinner is worth more
than an hour after. 1t rests and retreshes
and prepares the system for vigorous di-
gestion. If sleep is taken after dinner it
should be in the sitting posture, as the
horizontal position is unfavorable to
healthful digestion. Let those who need
rest and sleep during the day take it be-
fore dinner instead of after, and they will
soon find that they will feel better, and
that their digestion will be improved
thereby.
WEAK EYES IN HoRsEs.-Make up
wash of alum and water which reduce to
blood heat, and with quill, blow the
liquid into the eye. After trying the
above preparation three times, take
piece of alum, as large as the end of ones
finger, and burning it in the fire reduce it
to powder, and blow it stoutly by the
same process into the eye. We have tried
burnt alum on number of horses that
have had sore eyes, and always found it
valuable remedy. 1t will remove all Scum
and restore clearness to the eyes.--AmaerS-
can Stock Journal.
MULTIPLYING SEEDLINGs.-A cores.
pondent of the Canada Farmer proposes
to multiply seedlings after the following
manner: "Take cuttings from such seed
ings as may be considered worth testing,
and graft or bud them upon the previous
years wood, or healthy grown tree In
this way an immense number of cions
could be put on one tree, and nearly every
orchard has one or more suitable trees
which do but little in the way of bearing
fruit. am of the opinion that the wood
of young plant grated into tree of
a mature growth, would bear as soon as a
section from the old tree"
"UNcLE JACK" in the Southern Guilt
GATOR, gives the following recipe for potato
pudding: Take good sound potatoes,
wash them clean, scrape off the outside
skin thin, CRATE them; to five heaping
table.spoonfuls add one quart of boiling
milk, and five eggs, beat up with five
spoonfuls of sugar, a lump of butter
about the size of an egg, tea spoon of
salt; favor with nutmeg or other spice or
spices, to suit the taste; stir ell well to-
gether. Perhaps, if you have it, a little
Eau de Rose, wine or brandy, would i'm
prove the taste; and some would perhaps
like it better with less, some with more
sugar. Now for the cooking: Doat put
it in a crust, but in clean oven; stir a
few times ct the start, to prevent sticking,
and bake until surely done. |
