Saving Trees Girdled by Mice.

At meeting Of the Northern Illinois
Horticultural Society, D. B. Weir, of
Lacon, read a paper on Saving Girdled
Fruit Trees" al
He said he had over hundred, seven
years planted, completely girdlod by
mice. There had been for some time a
heavy snow upon the ground, and mice
being plenty, and in a starving condi-
ton: with nothing to eat, they ate all
the bark from the trees as far as they
could reach, and portions of the sap
wood in some places half an inch deep.
AS soon as the damage was discovered,
which was ON the first thawing days, he

of lead dissolved in hot water; o.
bichromate of potash dissolved in cold

water and then in the other until you
have good color.
BLUE.-Two OF. copperas; OF. oil OF
vitriol; 2 OF. prussiate potash. Put the
copperas into brass kettle of cold wa
ter; then put the cloth in and let it re
main one hour, take it out and wash it
well. Put the potash and vitriol in a
kettle of cold water; put in the cloth
and bring it to sca1ding heat, let it re-
main one hour, wash in two cold waters
and dry.
By dipping the blue goods in the vel
low dye, you have green.
Color in brass, tin, or copper, but not

OLD Colony CAKE.-Three eggs; |
scant cup of butter; 2 and IL cups SUI
gar; cup sour milk 3 and 2-3 cups
flour; even teaspoonful soda; spice to
taste. Sift little powdered sugar over
the top.
A CEMENT W1TnsTAND1NG WATER,
ACIDS, &C.-Simple shellac, made up
into sticks the size of lead pencil, is
commonly sold for such cement. The
objects to be cemented are first warmed
until they melt the shellac brought in
contact with them. This is very good
to cement broken glass, porcelain, etc.,
especially as the objects are again ready
for use immediately when cold, but it
is not adapted for flexible objects, as it
cracks, and will not withstand heat or
alcohol.
A CEMENT UNDERSTANDING HEAT AND
ALCoHoL.-Tal1e the best kind of glue
pour on an equal quantity of water let
it soak over night; next morning melt
it over gentle heat, and add fine Paris
white or white lead; mix we'll and add
little acetic acid, carbolic acid, oil of
cloves, or any other ethereal oil, to pre-
vent putrefaction. This cement is also
adapted for flexible objects, like leather.
1t will not withstand boiling well, as this
softens the glue.
To HARDEN PoKER.-The fire poker,
by constant use, becomes soft, and is
generally more or less bent. This arises
from it's being left in the fire and be-
coming hot, then being put on the fem
der, where it slowly cools, an operation
which softens the best steel. When a
poker has thus become soft and bent, it
may be again hardened by making it
hot two or three times, and plunging
every time into a pail of cold water
The sudden cooling of steel makes it
hard again. - - = 1880 > --'
