washing them twice a day for a few
weeks with strong soft soap.
A great many persons in eating
cherries.swallow the stones, which is
very dangerous practice, and some
times causes sudden death.
Wheat as well as corn, and, no
doubt, plants in general, do best in
the rich, friable, healthful, natural
surface soil, which should never be
buried beneath a sour, clayey sub
soil, or a loan that will crust and
bake; or even adulterated by admix-
tQre with them.
Plane irons for soft wood should
he ground to a bevel of about 40 de-
grees; for hickory or oak not over
80, for chisels, all except heavy NOR
tising, 60 degrees is best; for turn
ing chisels about 45. Tools for
working iron or steel are Leveled

The New England Farmer gives
the following as a remedy for film
on an animals eye;-Pound and rub
alum into a powder, making it as fine
as -four. Fill a common goose quill
partly full with it, and from that
blow it into the eye. But if the eye
is bruised by a blow, that is another
matter, and the alum would do no
good.
Burnt cork is one of the simplest
and most afficacious Of dentifrices.
When the cork is slightly charred,
rub it against the teeth; by which
means you have a pleasant tooth-
brush combined with the finest car
boniferous tooth-powder, at no ex-
pense whatever. To travellers and
pedestrians on short journeys this
hint will be valuable.
Tomake a white foot, or star in
a horses forehead, the Stock journal
says: 1t is said that to take picked
mackerel and confine it on in any
shape yoE please, three or four days
repeating, it will produce a white
foot or a white spot. Rub the white |
saddle spots on a horses back a few
times daily in the spring of the year,
before the coat is shed, with bacon |
grease, and it will restore the natural |
color.
Selfshness should teach us to he
kind to animals, for they grow fas-
ter, fat quicker and yield more pro-
fit generally, A man of keen obser-
vation can soon tell who treats his
horses and cattle badly; they will
quiver at his approach, turn from
him or kick at him. Seldom do
such farmers prosper. The leaven
runs through the whole loaf, and
everything turns against them. They
will tell you at is my burned luck;;"
but it is their ugly nature.
The Irish FdrBaerS' Gazette says
the manure trade has now acquired
an Importance second to no other
branch of British commerce. 1t
thinks it questionable whether the
annual increase Of all the cotton, Ii
men, woolen, and hardware together
will balance the increase of produce
arising from the yearly application
of artificial manuer to British soil.
''When we add" says the Gazette,
''to this notorious fact that this in
crease of produce is not half what it
should be, something1ik a approx
innate estimate may be found of its
value to all classes of the public"
Savory Stew of Veal-Cut the
meat from the bones into pieces
about two inches square: put into
frying pan two ounces of butter, and
an onion in thin slices; when the
butter is hot, put in the veal and fry
it to nice brown; put in dish and
pour a teacup full Of water into the
frying-pan: let it boil up and pour
It out. Stew the bones in rather
more cold water than will cover
5hem. for three hours. This will
make excellent soup or broth, which
nav be favored with parsley, celery
Or any other vegetable. A pint Of
this broth, before any other flavor
than parsley has been added, is
needed for the meat, which should
be put into sauce pan with it and
the liquor which was made after fry
ing the meat, and gently stewed for
and hour. A teaspoonful of -four
and little ketchup with CAYENNE
pepper and SALT should be added
After these are added, let the whole
come to a boil and serve with pieces
Of toasted bread,
