USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

A HELPING word to one IN trouble Is |
often like a switch on railroad track |
but one inch between wreck and q smooth |
rolling prosperity.
PRESERVED WATERMELON RINDs.-
Cut the rinds into squares about an inch
long; boil in alum water few minutes
then rinse in cold water, and drain.
Make a syrup of equal weight of white
sugar; boil until clear; when cold, add
little ginger, or what is better, when the
preserves are to be used, add little ex-
tract of lemon.
VERY TRUE-How much would neigh
bors rise in value, and how much would
neighbors rise in beauty, il all should lay
aside habits of criticism, and neighbor-
hood scandal, and petty feuds, and ridi-
culel And if men should study the things
that make for peace, and the things that
make for happiness, everybody try ing to
make everybody else happy, what a revo-
luton there would bel
WEAVING LAMBs-Lambs that are to
be taken from the ewes should be put into
good pasture along with the ewes for q
| few days, until they get used to it. Then
the ewes may be taken away from them,
but should be put in field out of hear
| ing of the lambs; then neither the ewes
nor the lambs will fret. If there are any
dry ewes in the flock let them go with the
| lambs, and they will be more contented.
The ewes should be watched closely, as
| some of them may need little milking
to avoid Inflammation of the udder. AS
the pastures fall off, some extra feed
should be given, to keep up the condition
of the flock.-HearM and Home.
SLEEPING ON ONE SIDE.-Sleeping on
the right side, in addition to permitting q
free action of the heart, has the great ad-
vantage of favoring the escape, through
the pyloric orifice in the s'omach, of that
organs cont ;,nts by graz itation, the stom-
acn then ly ing in an inclined position from
left to right, which it also assumes when
enc is in the erect attitude. For people
" no limit themselves to light or easilj
digested suppers, or who go supperless tc
bed, the posture of rest may be q matter
of indifference; bat to individuals inclined
to rotundity, or TO indulgence in hot sup
pers and sccompaniments, the best way Il
avoid, or to facilitate escape from uneasy
sensations, is a question of interest
English Mechanic.
ABOUT year ago, q street railway com
psny in Connecticut town obtained per
mission from the Legislature to increas
the fare from six to seven cents. A Iegu
| r patron of the road, indignant at wha
he deemed eYtoIticn, vowed he woult
hencefCrth walk from Lis house to hi
, place of business-about one mile-an'
+ back, and deposit the fare he would hsv
, paid Ia little box at home. Accordingly
he has since put seven cents in the box be
fore starting out and seven more on re
turning. His year was up the other dag
|, and he opened the box. He found in
, $10920 which he deposited in the saving
. bsnk, snd began on u second year III
9 like manner. Besides, and here is tn
true moral of this true tale, he finds hi
health and digestion go much improve
: by his ercise that he says seven cent
is cheap enough for the privilege of wall
ing mile.
= THE WASTE OF LIQUID MANURE.--Ver
2 few barns or barn-yards are so arrange
L as to save the liquid manure. The los
. resulting from such a want of prope
Z arrangement is very serious one, NOR
4 so then most farmers would imagine.
e the first place, the quantity of liqui
J. matter which might be saved from pa
l ! of horses and half a dozen COWS amount
l, to $4,000 pounds yearly. This is equal I
- about 10000 gallons, which, diluted wit
4 an equal quantity OF water, would furnis
each year a dressing of 1,0c0 gallons p'
T, acre to twenty acres of land. Fermentir
I liquid manure needs this addition of wat,
for the purpose of retaining the ammon
n which would otherwise pass off and
b lost. The solid matter contained in Il
le above quantity of liquid is equal to near
le thres tons, ami is worth as much as Il
ID best guano. The money value wou
e therefore be about $200-an amount tn
N is well worth saving. Much less tn;
d this amount would make the drains al
I'd tank required to save the manure, so th

freely used, the whole of the liquids mig
st be saved without any outlay at ail.
