FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Durable Garden Stakes.


A correspondent wishes to know tine
best way to make durable garden stakes.
for supports and other purposes where
the wood is thrust into the ground, and
soon decays under ordinary exposure.
and mentions red cedar, gas tar, petro-
leum, etc. He wishes to make a supply
during winter. Red cedar, where it can
be had, is excellent for stakes, splitting
straight and clear, and lasting for long
time. A common fence post selected
for its even grain, will make a large
number of common sized garden stakes
this Is the easiest and cheapest way,
if the cedar can be had in market.
Next to red cedar, gas or coal tar is best
for the part which runs into the
ground. The best way to apply it is to
put the tar into a close boiler, heat it,
being careful to prevent its catching
fire, and then put in the stakes rather
further into the hot tar than they are
expected to go in the ground. In a few
minutes the tar will have penetrated
the pores, and they may be taken out to
give place to a second parcel, and so on ;
a large number may be thus prepared
III "AA hOAA VI bWOs w navy WIN AAAeeN.S
Eight porous wood last twenty times as
long as without any protection. Where
exposed to air and sun, the gas tar is OF
very little use, and for such exposed
parts crude petroleum, washed over the
surface and absorbed by the wood, is far
better, and one of the cheapest and best
of all protectors of exposed woodwork.
We have lately seen an account of a
mode of protecting stakes by gas tar, by
which they may be made TO last many
years when subject to continued expo
sure, by rolling the tarred portion in
sharp sand as soon as taken out of the
kettle, and after they are perfectly dry
giving them another coat of tar and OF
sand. This would obviously give them
a waterproof and frost-proof casing, as
a mixture of tar and sand is affected by
neither moisture nor freezing.-C Oaostry

GaOkinE Potatoes.

In the case of a kidney potato, |
take as thin a slip as possible off the
skin, say about half an inch wide, out
of the middle of each side and round
the ends. In a round potato, take out
a similar slip all around the middle of
the potato. In either case, when prop
erly cooked, the foury matter will just
be seen peeping out in this unskinned
part. The rest of the skin will come off
as thin as gosamer, leaving all the most
nourishing part of the potato whole and
untouched. To my mind this plan,
simple though it be, is the greatest adj
vance on thorough economic potato
cooking that [ am acquainted with.
Would that you could send the recipe
to hundreds of cottages where potatoes
are sadly spoiled in the cooking.-R. r.

DESTROYING Weeds.

To pay more attention to getting farms
free from weeds, and then keeping
them so, are points to which most Wes-
tern farmers need to pay more atten-
ton. For the best results we need not
only to keep our crops reasonably clean,
but we should aim at the destruction of
the crop of weeds. And each time we
allow weeds to ripen their seeds, we
greatly increase the difficulty of our
task. The wonderfully prolific nature
of many weeds should be kept in mind.
1t is possible to have ground quite free
from weeds, but when it is in the condi-
ton of most farms this can only be Sc
cured by much labor. i'a 4 a7@ s'
Every weed seed that commences
growth and is then killed helps along the
work. So long as the seed remains In
the ground-until it loses its vitality
it's power of causing trouble is not fin.
ished when it has produced plans
and that plant is destroyed, we have
nothing more to fear from it. Killing
weeds-any plant out of its place ON the
farm may be called aweed--when young,
and soon after they have commenced
their growth the better, is part of farm
work of which we must do more

To Preserve Books.

1t is not, perhaps, SO generally known
as it deserves TO be, that few drops of
any kind of perfumed oil will secure
books and manuscripts from the deteri-
Grating effects of mold and damp The
species of leather so extensively used
by book-binders owes its powers to with
standing the effects of these destructive
agents to the tar of the birch tree
betula alba. The preserving of books
written on papyrus and parchment, by
means of perfumed oils, was known to
for this purpose, of the Oil of cedar.

quarters of the movement, groups of
women severely handled one of their

police had to interfere, but so deter

that the butchers have ceased to kill

compelled to penetrate far into the
