Preserving Farm Tools,

Every farmer should have 4 cal Of
linseed oil and Il brush on hand; and,
whenever he buys anew tool he should
soak it well with the oil and dry it by
the fire or in the sun before using. The
wood by this treatment is %toughened
aud strengthened, and rendered imper-
yious to water. Wet a new hay rake,
and when it dries it will begin to be
loose in the joints but if well oiled, the
wet will have but slight effect. shovelS
and forks are preserved from checking
and cracking in the top of the handle,
by oiling the wood becomes as smooth
as glass by use, and is far less liable to
blister the hand when long used. AK
and hammer handles often break oil
where the wood enters the iron; this
part particularly should be toughened
with oil to secure durability. Oiling
the wood in the eye Of the AK will pre-
vent its swelling and shrinking, aud
sometimes getting loose. The tools on
a large farm cost a large sun ofmoncy
they should be Of the most approved
kinds. 1t is poor economy, at the pres
ent eXtrayagant cost Of labor, to set meI
to work with ordinary. old fashioned
implements. Laborcrs should be re.
quired to return theirtOOls to the con.
v~Cnient places provided for them; after
using they should be put away clcal

Making Soap.

Every farmers wife, and the ohio
Farmer, is proud OF a barrel Of soap,
but some are so unfortunate as TO
seldom get me-. They try hard
enough, but the ashes are sometimes
poor, or the right proportions of I've
and grease are not used at other
times the soap appears to be good
when put up, hut changes entirely
after standing a few days. The last
trouble usually arises from getting
the soap too strong and diluting with
water. If very strong it will be thin
and dark, and by adding cold water
and thoroughly stirring, the color is
changed many shades lighter, and
tue mass thickened, giving it the APP
pcarance of a number one article,
when in reality it is very poor,
Hickory ashes arc the best for soap
making, but those from sound beech,
maple or almost any kind of hard
wood, save oak, will answer well.
A common barrel set upon al inclin-
ed platform makes a very good leach,
but ! much prefer one made of boards
in q trough in V shape, for the
strength of the ashes is better obtain
ed, and it may be taken to pieces
when not in use and laid up.
First, in the bottom of the leach put
a few sticks; over them spread a
:, piece Of carpet or wooden cloth,
which is much better than straw put
Oh a few inches of ashes, and from
tour to eight quarts of lime fiji with
ashes, moistened, and tramp down

tain Animals Live lu Water.
nm Nm, Manufacture and Builder,

aNHA q
lur readers know that there are
% kiuds OF respiratory apparatus
lungs which inhale air, abstract oXy-
gou from it, and give, in return,
chiefly carbonic acid, and gills which
absorb the oxygen dissolved in water
and also give of chiefly carbonic
scid, which is more readily dissolved
in water than the oxygen. The form
err apparatus is possessed by manuals,
birds, etc, the latter by fishes; and
as lungs are incapable of taking oxy-
gen out of water, and gills cannot take
Il from the air, or, in other words,
as lungs cannot breathe water and
gills cannot breathe air, animals with
lungs cannot live in water, while fish
arc drowned in air, A small number
Of amphibious animals, however,
possess both lungs, and can, therefore
breathe beth air and water, and thus
live in both. 1t has been, however
observed that musk rats and other
swimming animals with lungs could
travel a considerable distance under
ice without reaching any breathing
helc on the surface, and ii was for q
long time a problem how they sue
ceeding iii living so long and travel
ing SO far without access to the at
mosphere. The problem has beer
answered by S, Newhouse, in a worb
csllcd tie "Trappers Guide" iron
which we extract the following:
MUSK rats have q curious methoc
OF travelling long distances under TIT

guently at great distances from thel
abodes, they take in breath at starting
and remain, under water as long a
they can. They rise to the ice ant
breathe out the air in their lungs
which remains in the bubbles agains

in again, and go Oh till the operation
has to be, repeated. In this way the,

"The hunter sometimes takes ad
vantage of this habit of the musk ra
in the following manner:
"When the marshes and pond
where the musk rats abound are frs
frozen over, and the ice is thin an
clear, on striking into their house
with his Ratchet, tor the purpose Q
setting his traps, he frequently secs
whole family plunge into the waite
and swim away under the ice. Fol
lowing one for some distance, he see
him come up to renew his breath !

After the animal had breathe

PronerlI Feeding Farm stock.

4 correspondent writes US, Sllud-
Ing TO ono John JohnstoA's hints on
the Keeping of farm stock, to which
he says he owes much Of tho success
he has since attained: when an
animal does not gain in size or weight
you lose all the feed it consumes, or
at best, gain nothing. When cows
are poorly kept, they barely pay
their keeping, rendering no profit to
the owner. Acting on this hint, >
he adds, IL have increased tic yield
of cheese per COW from 800 pounds to
AIS pounds, on an average, annually
which is l7j pounds, or more than
fifty per cent gain. This was done by
feeding well, rather freely some OF
my neighbours think. In 1868 fed
100 pounds of the best Cornmeal per
COW, costing $l4,23, while the aver.
ago price of chcesc, as sold, was 10
cents--equal TO a net gain Of over Sll
per COW in those years. In 1861 we
did very much better, as cheese sold
very high. You will see by this that
think meal does not 'hurl a COW,
and as to turning of old cows, let me
say, keep the old COW tarrow feed
her eight quarts OF the best meal
daily and milk her, andin the spring
she will sell for enough to buy q
young COW, and will have given milk
enough to pay for the meal. And
the meal feeding does increase the
manure heap, which is the farmers
chief source of permanent prosperity
not the least Of its advantages, though
is included in the figures | have
given"
Our correspondent shows that hi
has not read as so many do, without
thought and withou. making any Al
tempt to apply the principles incul'
Gated TO his own practice. If he car
get oil cake conveniently, he may find
that lie can do still more at feeding
to advantage, and ultimately add as
much to his income from Other
sources as he has already done to that
