every Animal Wants Water.

Many of our dumb animals suffer
extremely for want of natures cool
mo and refreshing beverage. Horses

cool fresh water, far more than we
are wont to suppose. A pond OF
standing water is utterly unfit Tor q
watering place for domestic animals
of any kind. When horned cattle
have access to q small pond having
no outlet, the water will soon be-
come so foul with the fecal matter,
that every animal will suffer from
extreme thirst before it will drink at
such a place. Watering troughs
should be kept as clean and sweet
as a milk pail. Offensive slime will
accumulate every day in watering
trough, in hot weather. There
should be hole in the bottom of
every trough, for the purpose OF al
lowing the impure water to escape.
Let q large cloth or swab be kept
near the trough, with which the in
side may lie scrubbed out frequently.
Mich cows cannot be expected TO
yield full supply of milk, unless
they have constant access to pure
water. A good mixer will often
drink barrel of water'every day
during the hot weather of August.
Soon after COWS have filled them
selves on grass, they will be thirsty;
and if they cannot have access to
water, the flow of milk will dimin-
ish. Work horses often suffer great

the ignorance, heedlessness and lazi-
ness of employees. Teams are fire.
quently required to drink with the
harness on. If the surface of water
is as high as their knees, horses
may find no difficulty in drinking.
But when the water is nearly as low
as their feet, the collar will often
prevent horse from drinking more
than one or two swallows at time.
Sheep will live without water; but
they will thrive much better when
they are supplied with an abundance.
Domestic fowls and even the birds
should not be neglected in hot
weather.

Something Worth Knowing.

Recipes that have been approved
by actual use are always valuable.
Thus We have been furnished one
for an outside coating for rough
brick walls, which at the same time
prevents moisture from penetrating
through, which is in use by the Uni
ted States Government for painting
its light houses, and has recently
been applied in several places in this
city. It is said to be a good water
proof, as well as an excellent substi-
tute for paint for outside walls. Take
of fresh Rosendale cement three
parts, and of clean, line sand one
part, and mix with fresh water thor
oughly. This gives gray or gran
ite color, dark or light, according
to the color of the cement. If brick
color is desired, add enough Ven
etian red to the mixture to produce
the color. If a very light color is
desired, lime may be used with the
cement and sand. Care must be
taken to haYe all the ingredients
well mixed together. In applying
the wash the wall must be wet with
clean, fresh water, then follow imme-
diately with the cement wash. This
prevents the bricks from absorbing
the water from the wash too rapidly,
and gives time for the cement to set.
The wash must be well stirred dur
ing the application. The admixture
ought to be made as thick as can be
applied conveniently with a white
wash brush. We are assured by
those who have used it, that this &C.
ment wash will stand for years, that
it is admirably suited for brickwork,
fences, &C., that it is nearly water
proof, but that it cannot be used to
advantage over paint or whitewash.

RECIPE FOR PRESERVING GRAPES
Gather the grapes after they are per-
fectly ripe; take off those that are
bruised, leave the sound ones on the
stem, place them in a stone jar; close
jar by placing plate over it and ty-
ing with a cloth. Then place the
jar in the ground, leaving two inches
above ground. Place wide board
over the jar, put straw around the
jar and over the board, and cover
two feet with earth. 1 have tried
this method and found it good.
