To PREVENT LAMP CHINNEYs FROM BREAKING =
Every housewife, who uses kerosene oil knows
that it affords the best and cheapest light of all
Illuminating oils. But she also knows that the
constant expense and annoyance from the break
age of lamp chimneys, almost, if not quite,
counterbalsnces the advantages of it use. Put
the glass chimney in lukewsrm water, heat to
the boiling point, and boil it one hour, after
which leave it in the water till it cools. The
chimney will be less liable to break by sudden
changes of temperature

WALKING HoRsEs.-It is to be hoped that the
attention of those who have the conduct of Agri-
cultural Fairs will be directed, at their ensuing
meetings in 1871, 10 the propriety Of offering
premiums for fastest walking horses, classified
under appropriate heads, viz road, carriage,
farm and other work horses. To the farmer
especially the benefit would be immense Fast
walking horses are rarities upon farm, and yet
they are infinitely more useful to the farmer in
bis business than the fastest trotters would posi-
bly, be. Upon this subject the Germantown PA. J
Telegraph says:
"What use are fast horses to farmers Can
they put them to work in the plough, harrow,
cultivator, roller, reaping-mschine, cart or
wagon2 No. A storm might arise and the whole
crop of hay be ruined, if they had to depend on
2:40 horses to haul it in. There is but one use
that we can see that farmer might put them to
sending for doctor; but as farmers have very
little occasions for this professional gentleman,
and never get sick, slower and surer horse will
answer better. Why then parade these horses
at the head of the lists of Agricultural Fairs,
and give them the biggest premiums No won-
der our practical farmers complain of this, while
there is no premium at all for walking horses,
which are more useful"

SUCCESSFUL DRANING.-Some time ago, in pass
ing through lower portion Of Montgomery
county, | encountered farmer whose long ex-
perience in farming and draining interested me
much. He said, speaking of draining, that it
was only within a few years that be had been in
duced to try it, and the little he had done had
wonderfully improved bis land, some that was
worthless before had turned out excellent crops
and paid the whole expense in single year.
He was now engaged in laying more drain and
should continue to do so whenever he thought
his land required it. His plan for opening the
trenches was as follows: Two burrows were first
plowed along the line of the fence, and then
after these were thrown out, two more were plow-
ed by frightening the chain. When those were
well shoveled out, the trench was usually sixteen
inches deep. He then removed the front wheels
of a wagon and attached them to a strong axle
tree about ten feet long, and after drawing this
astride the ditch he fastened a yoke of oxen at
each end of the axle, close to the Wheel and then
fastened the plow chain to the middle of the axle
tree. By lengthening this chain he could deepen
Aue uShSn " tuiOO iSOt W enAeo HOi0 iuiAO"si
making five in all. In nearly all the drains he
made use of fiat stones so laid as to leave an
opening about eight inches square for the passage
of water. After the stones were carefully placed,
he usually threw in two or three inches of small
stones from the fields and then threw two or three
burrows into the ditch with the plow and long
axle-tree, and afterward finished the job with a
shovel. During the last seven years he had
drained about FIVE acres in this way, at what he
thought very small cost. He had used tile, but
inasmuch stones offs proper kind were plenti-
full his farm, he used them in preference to the
tile, on the score of economy. He usually made
his trenches twenty inches wide at the top, and
tapered down to one foot at the depth of three
feet As his land had fall enough and to spare,
be was not very particular about obtaining an
exact level, his only desire being that the water
should run through the proper channel. So far
all the work was done by his farm hands under
his superintendent and was done at odd times,
and consequently cost comparatively little.
NJ own experience in draining is, that where
judiciously applied and well done, it will pay
for itself in at least two years and place the land
in permanently good condition with the rest and
best of the farm.-C0r. Germantown Telegraph.

SoAPsUDs. although generally deem
ed only fit for being run off into the common
sewer in the easiest manner possible, are never
theless highly beneficial vegetable feeders, as well
as useful insect representatives.. They should
never be wasted, especially by parties having
gardens, as their application to the ground,
whether in winter or summer, will show bene-
6cially, not only on ordinary vegetable crops,
but also on berry bushes, shrubs, border flowers,

CHEAP WAY TO GET GRASS PLAT.-At diff
ferenttimes during the last season, in improving
the grounds about the homestead, we had occa-
SfOn ~ soo several pieces, but s:.;SL sst
grounds we're convenient where we could procure
the turf entire; we therefore adopted another
plan. We procured less perfect sods, cut with
cut care, and threw them into a cart promiscu-
ously, and after ploughing the ground well to
receive them, we chopped them into small pieces,
say from one to two inches across, more or less,
and worked these under the surface, barely
covering the roots. After the first rain these
small pieces of turf sent up numerous blades,
and in short time the whole ground became
entirely covered with grass. These experiments
were tried several times from July till Septem-
Der, and always with perfect success, though of
course the latest planting did not become SO
thickly set before cold weather set in In all
ordinary cases we should prefer this method to
entire sodding, even if turf was at hand, on &C.
count of saving of time and expense. Blue
grass roots are very tenacious of life, and when
scattered in the way above named, so as to cover
one-quarter of the ground, will soon spread so
as to make thick set lawn.-Facts for TURNER'S.
