Rag Carpets.

FIRST, the rags or Old garments ought
to be washed clean; then rip them to
pieces, rejecting the parts too worn to be
used if not ready to color them, tie in
bundles al that are to be cOlored each
color, and any that do not need coloring
may be cut and sewed, or tied up by
themselves, if not ready TO commence the
work. ALI wooden ones ought to be kept
in linen sacks, to exclude the moths from
them.
Any light, mixed, or plaided woolens
may be improved in color by dipping in
a good red dye. Clean white rage can be
colored yellow, orange, blue, or green.
Dingy white rags will look well colored
hemlOCk color and set with lime. This is
cheap, pretty and durable color for some
of the rags and the warp. Bits Of bark
may be gathered around saw mills, when
one cannot get it elsewhere boil enough
bark to make strong dye, and add to it
little clear lime water, after removing
all bits Of bark or straining the dye. If
dregs remain in any dye, it will spot the
cloth or yarn.
If smooth parlor carpet is wanted, the
rags must be cotton, and other rags that
are made of fine yarn. threaded
wooden rags make carpet look rough,
and though it may do well for kitchen,
it is not so nice for parl0r.
Unless the rags are light, it will take a
pound and a half, and sometimes more,
tor each yard of carpet. To know when
sufficient rags are prepared for the num-
Der OF yards wanted, the prepared rags
must be weighed. If the rags are light, it
will not take quite pound and half;
but if they are coarse threaded or wooden
rags, it viii take some more than pound
and half, If the carpet is well beaten up.
! Ii striped carpet is wanted, tear each
color separately, and mix together the
different shades Of the same color when
sewing; this will make the carpet more
stripes contained all the brightest colors,
and others paler ones, which they will, II
the shades of the same color are not
much better # all the breadths are
uniform in color, and by mixing the
shades of the same color in sewing them
it will be 80.
For hap-hazards carpet, all different
use up all short rags, of any color OF
shade, and often makes very pretty
carpet, which may be woven easier and
cheaper than striped carpet. Short
pieces or those not more than three OF
four yards long, alternated with shorter
ones, look the best in this kind of carpet
For warp, good strong prepared yarn is
the best, and saves much labor. 1t may
be reeled in skeins Of i've knots before
coloring, allowing one skein to yard
and about three knots over, to be woven
in at the end Of each breadth, for bind.
ing.
Measure the inside of the room, and
let the weaver know how long to make
each breadth. Carpets will shrink little
in length from the weayer's measure
after they come out Of the loom, but will
often stretch little in width. The stripes
will match the best, if the edges on the
same side Of the loom are sewed together
as the different sides of the loom some
times vary a little.-C0r. Ruras Neu

Horse SllOeing.

We presume there is no part of the
treatment Of the horse which is so impor-
tant and necessary to his usefulness as
the shoeing.-Certainly not less than half
the Iameneses which ruin so many horses
is occasioned by the ignorance of the
blacksmith.
For sometime the u. S. Government,
recognizing this fact, has been in search of
a method of shoeing which could be prac-
ticed by any ordinarily intelligent black
smith, and which should serve as a pro-
lection to the horses feet instead of as
had been the case with the old lack of
system, doing the animal infinitely more
harm than good.
About a year ago, though the influence
of Mr.. Robert Bonner, Mr.. Alexander
Dunbar, Canadian, who has devoted
the greater portion of his life to the study
of the horse, and particularly to a cor
rect method of shoeing, received a COM
mission from the War Department, di-
recting him to visit the several military
posts in the country where horses were
employed, and instruct the farriers
thereat in his system.
So fully impressed was Mr.. Bonner
with the excellenceof Mr. Dunbar meth
cd of shoeing, that in his letters to the
War Department, he states that had it
not been for his knowledge Of the benefits
to be derived therefrom he would never
have purchased the celebrated Dexter,
whose feet, at the time, were so contrac-
ted, from ignorant shoeing, as to render
him quite lame.
Mr.. Dunbar visited Carlisle Barracks
soon after the receipt of his commission
and at once applied his knowledge and
experience to the treatment Of the horses
there. In an incredibly short space of
time a marked improvement in the con-
dition of the animals feet was observed
and up to the present time the system
has been practiced with the most graft
flying results At Mr.. Dunbar's depar-
ture, Mr.. John Herman, most skillful
farrier, was appointed to the charge of
the instruction of the farriers at the
post, and to have general supervision of
the entire shoeing department. His sue
cess has been so marked, that he has
been induced to publish work, giving
his views and practice, which is destined
to become standard authority on the sub
ject.- Carlisle Herald.

Washing COlOred Fabrics.

"Before washing any colored fabrics"
says the Scientific american, {" it is rec
omended to soak them for some time in
water, to every gallon of which is added
spoonful Of ox-gall. A tea cup of lye
in a pail of water is said to improve the
color of black goods when it is necessary
to wash them. A strong, clean tea of
common hay will preserve the color of
French linens Vinegar in the rinsing
water for pink or green, will brighten
those colors, and soda answers the same
end for the purple and blue"

The Potato Digger.

The Pittsburg Post gives the follow
ing account of the working of Potato
Digger, which has been invented and
manufactured in that city:
1t cleaned out row at time thorough
ly, lifting every potato and depositing it
on the surface with ease to the two horses
and driver, and neither checked nor clog
ged. 1t also thoroughly pulverizes the
soil and leaves it level. Another point
is its permanent and substantial construc-
tion and great simplicity. There is moth
ing about it to get out of repair, and it is
easily handled and propelled as an ordi-
nary plow. The forward part resembles
somewhat fatish tooth shovel plow
The rear attachment is series of iron
Stats, made to lower or fall, according to
the depth of the furrow. These Stats are
made to vibrate vertically, somewhat like
the shaking of a windmill. This is
done by an agitator wheel, which rotates
as the digger advances, and by an in
genious, though simple attachment,
keeps these Stats agitated, thoroughly
sitting the dirt from the potatoes. l do
not design mechanical description, as
the best test of theory is its practical
results, and adopting this rule, no fur
ther notice is needed, as all who have
seen it tried verify. 1t is sold on its
merits, and warranted to work for the
low price of sixteen dollars, and is hav-
ing rapid introduction. Mr.. Hall can
be addressed at Pittsburg, or the digger
can be seen at S. Hare & Sons, 129
Liberty street, who are agents for its
sale.

Make Your Trees Branch Low.

Train your pear trees for garden or
field use, so that they will branch at a
distance of one or two feet from the
ground. The advantages are easily emu
merated:
1st. It is easy to trim.
I'd. 1t is easy to gather the fruit.
Sd. Falling fruit is little injured.
4th, All branches being sturdy, will
not be strained by over-bearing or over
weight Of fruit.
5th. Soil will be kept shaded and
moist.
9th Trunk will be protected from the
scorching sun.
7th Tree will grow more and more
beautiful.
