Paperlng Rooms.

Don't try to paper with carpet down.
Make paste, cut bordering and the paper
the day before. If the wall has been
whitewashed. it must be washed IN vim
gar to neutraliZe the alkali in the lime
If papered before and you wish the paper
removed, sop with water and it will peel
off. If convenient, provide long board
wide as the paper, though table or two
will do. The paper must be measured,
placed right side down on the board; then
with a brush proceed to lay on the paste,
not too thickly, but over every part, and
be careful that the edges receive their
share. When completed, double within
three inches of the top, the paste sides be-
ing together; carry to the wall, mount
your chair, and stick your three inches of
pasted paper ON the wall at the top. That
holds it; now strip down the other end,
and see that it fits just right; if not, peel
down, make right, then press to the wall
from the center right and left Leave no
air under, or when warm will expand,
bursting the paper.
OF course the paper must be matched
it will not do to measure by lines unless
the walls are perfectly plumb. Small fig
ures make less waste, and make small
room look larger. Stripes make low
room look higher, and if there are no fig
ures between, or in the stripe, to match,
there is no waste, and no trouble In put
ting on. If a narrow border is the style,
let it be bright if the paper be neutral;
but if that be bright, the border had bet
ter be dark and neutral. If the paste be
made too thick, the paper will be apt to
crack and peel off; if too thin, it will sat
urate the paper too quickly, and make it
tender in putting it on. A counter buster
brussels brush) is nice to brush the paper
to the wall. White clean cloths will do,
but it will not do to rub the paper with
these; being damp, the paint or color rubs
off the paper. The tables must be dried
each time after FASTING, for the same rea
son. Paste under paper must not freeze,
or be dried too quickly. If embarrassing
is done after papering, tack double strips
of newspaper, wider than the border, all
around the room, to prevent its soiling

How Summer Suits Should be Washed.

SUMMER suits are nearly all made of
white or buff linen, pique, cambria. or
muslin, and the art of preserving
the new appearance after washing is
matter of the greatest Importance.
Common washerwomen spoil everything
with soda, and nothing is more frequent
than to see the delicate tints of lawns and
percales turned into dark blotches and
muddy streaks, by the ignorance and van
dalism of a laundress. 1t is worth while
for ladies to pay attention to this, and in
sist upon having their summer dresses
washed according to the directions which
they should be prepared to give their
laundresses themselves. In the first
place, the water should be tepid, the soap
should not be allowed to touch the fabric;
it should be washed and rinsed quickly
turned upon the wrong side, and hung in
the shade to dry, and when starchcd I'm
thin boiled but not boiling starch) should
be folded in sheets or towels, and ironed
upon the wrong side soon as possible
But linen should be washed in water in
which hay or Il quart bag of bran has
been boiled. This last will be found to
answer for starch as well, and is excellent
for print dresses of all kinds, but hand
full of salt is very useful also to set the
coiors of light cambrics and dotted lawns
and little OK gall will not only set but
brighten yellow and purple tints, and has
IA good effect upon green.-.Scientifc

There are certain questions that every
farmer can properly ask himself at this
time, and if thoroughly examined and
properly answered, can be made of great
benefit to himself hereafter. Among these
are the following
Have | cultivated such crops the past
year as would yield me the best returns,
and at the same time exhaust my land
the least
Have | kept as much stock as my land
ought to carry?
Have | always sold my crops and stock
to the best advantage ?
Have | added anything 10 my farm, in
the way of manure, fences, houses, or.
chards, barns, or conveniences of any
kind, to improve the cash value of the
same
Have | learned anything during the
past year, that will be Impractical value
to me in the future?
Have l furnished my family with prop
er means of enjoyment and self-culture ?
Have done my whole duty to my
God and my fcllow-man?
And to all these questions, ir not.
Why?
An honest answer to each Of these
question will be of benefit to all and no
farmer can be successful to the fullest
extent, unless they are asked and answer.

TROPHY ToNAro,-Last spring pro,
cured for trial a package Of the seeds OF
this new tomato. Gave it no special cul-
ture, but allowed it to take its chance in
the large bed where the Extra Early
Red, General Grant and Tildcn were.
Did not feel very enthusiastic over it to
begin with, as do not feel like taking
stock in every new thing that comes up.
Am compelled, however, to say that it
fully comes up to its recommendations
and shows itself every way to be a very
desirable tomato. The advantages claim
cd for it are, superior size, form and So
lidity, good flavor and a reasonable de-
gree Of oarlincss. There are some now
growing in our garden which fully prove
the business of the claim. shall have
no fears in recommending the Trophy to
our farmers and gardeners as one of the
best. | should not however wish to be
understood as recommending any one to
plant it alone, for being large grower,
in unfavorable seasons it might not do as
we'll as some of the smaller kinds. Try
it next year, everybody, and feast your
selves upon one and two pound tomatoes.

forward you the result of an experiment
with milk from two year old Alderney
heifer. From an even quart of milk |
obtained four ounces and half of butter.
Two experiments produced the same re-
suit. The butter without coloring mat
ter was the color of June butter. The
heifer, Susan, was bred by me from Juno,
sire Goliath. Both Juno and Goliath
were bred by j. G. Wellington, Esq, Of
whom | purchased them in 1866. The
feed Of Susan at present is two quarts Of
barley and oat neal four quarts Of car
rots, with hay. She calved in July. The
calf ran with her through the season, SO
that she became quite reduced in flesh,
and does not now give a large quantity
Of milk, although perhaps as much as
heifers ordinarily do of her age. shall
hope to report from her hereafter when
she has become COW.

that any farmer in this state has adopted

experience with hydraulic ram. A

the whole apparatus with boxes. chimney,
labor, &C., cost about 500
Does it pay? Mr.. French believes it
does. lie can keep more stock ON the
same fodder by stcaming. lie has not a
good chance to lumber in the winter and
his work is with his stock, and it is best
to care for them we'll The cattle like
the steamed food aud thrive upon it, Last
spring, about the first Of March, his new
milk cows gave eleven pans ofmlk day
and in s weeks they only shrank one and
a half paniuls. With dry feed previous
springs, his cows could not be kept up to
SO even flow Of milk.
Mr.. French does not appear to me to
be a man that would waste time and mon
cy in doing useless work He now thinks
it pays to steam his feed and intends to
continue the practice. Poor fodder is
made more palatablc, and less quantity
will keep the animal thriving. Then the
roots can be cooked either in the hay or
in a barrel by themselves. lie raised
$50 bushels Of sugar bcets on 10 rods of
ground this year.
For grain crop he has had the best
success with barley. His land is too cold
and damp FOL corn, but docs well in bar
ley about every time. This year his yield
was one hundred and sixty-onc bushels
on two acres, threshcr's measure, and only
run through the machine once. This was
on land that had been under-drained. In
1860 it had about 400 Of hay to the acre.
A ditch three feet deep was dug through
it at an expense Of fifty cents rcd. 1t
cost as much more to partially fill it with
stone and cover it In 1870 good crop
OF potatoes was on part, and part was
sown to wheat. In 1871, with 80 loads
Of manure to the acre it gave 16l bushels
Of barley
Mr.. French believes in understands on
his land which slants to the north and
has a surplus of water, and the 300 rods
already dug have paid him well.
Several farms in the neighborhood are
similar. Mr. Anderson next south has
mado some ditch, and is equally success
full with barley. lie raises it after pota.
toes, with blowing the land just harrow
tho last years potato ground, and SOW
