sUNNysIDE HEATER.

SuNSrsrpR AT MARrLAxp STATE FAIR, BAL
TIMoRE.-First premium for Fire- place Heaters
awarded the Sunnysde.
Advantages of the Snnnyside
1. 1t Is go constructed that one-third more of
the radiating surface extends into the room, CIV
ing that much more additional heat without ex-
ira fuel.
2. 1t is the only Hot-Air Fireplace Heater in
the market. Like the regular built cellar heater,
it loses no heat but combines it all TO its legiti
purposes.
3. The fuel magazine is double the usual size,
extending from the fire-boN to the top of the
stove, with capacity for twenty-four hours sup
ply of coal.
4. The patent double cover for coal magazine
consumes the gas, prevents escape of gas into
the room, and makes 1t impossible for any puff
fings or explosions to occur. This is an ndvant-
age possessed by no other fireplace stove in the
market.
8. There are three air ccambers, wherein q
brisk circulation is kept up, drawing the cold air
in the room through heated iues into large
hot-ar reservoir, at the back of the stove.
! No side pipes are used, rs the air Is heated
/ in reservoir having double radiating fiues and
double back, supplying large quantities OF hot
! airwithout waste of heat or fuel.
Z. The SUSNYsIDE utizes the waste heat SO
! thoroughly that we frequently heat an adjoining
1 room on the first, besides heating TIE rooms In
second and third stories.
/ 8. A dampcr on top of the stove, connected
with the hot air hues, controls the quantity o
/ hot air required for the use of either the upper
! or lower rooms. All other fireplace stoves arC
very inconvenient in this respect.
! 9. The Crate is self-sea.ing, aud no dust cal
escape while shaking it,

FRUrT-GRAFTINe.--A the time will
soon be here when grating is in order, we
repeat our former advice that every farmer
should do his own grating. 1t is n very
easy operation when once understood, and
this is readily done by seeing IL done. A
sharp penknife and good fine saw are in
dispensabe. Splitting the stalk so that the
bark shall not be bruised, and sharpen the
scion wedge fashion both ways, preserving
also the bark uninjurcd, and placing the
rim of the rood of both stock and scion ex-
actly together, so that the sap can intermin-
gle-there is no danger of failure ofproper-
ly waxed. We make shoulder to the
graft and think it adds to the certainty of
success, though probably 1t weakens it,
We prefer also two eyes or buns to a graft,
and would rather have only one than more
than two. One years wool should always
be used when it can be obtained, as it is
more certain to take and grows more vigor-
ously, and the graft should be cut from
bearing branches.
We wish to remind those preparing
grating wax, that we have found four
parts of rosn, one part beef tallow, TO be
the oest proportions. Melt them together
in skillet, (which is the best or lineup,
and mix well. 1t should remain in the
vessel and used rs needed. Twenty or
thirty scions can be waxed with one heat
ing the wax should be made on the spot,
between two bricks or stones.
We have seen various preparations for
making grating wax ard we believe we
have tried them all, but prefer our own.
Applying or hot does no injury TO the graft.
The object to attain in the proportion is
that the wax will not crack in cool, dry
weather. IT, however, upon trial, different
proportions be required, the foregoing can
be altered, though after using them in
several ways we have come back to these.

PoTAToEs.--W are ipclined TO think
that farmers seldom plant their potatoes
early enough. 1fplanted earlier and deep.
er, and the ground was narrowed repeated
ly with Thomas's harrow before the pota-
toes came out Of the ground, afterwards
far less hoeing would be required, and we
think a better yield would be obtained.
Narrowing winter wheat is practice
we would earnestly commend. Many
farmers are afraid that the harrow will
pull up the wheat, but such is not the case
If the land is dry, good heavy, forty
toothed harrow will destroy many weeds,
break the crust, stir the soil, and greatly
benefit the wheat.

CAPTAIN SCOTT. 1T is said of that
famous hunter, Captain Scott, that when
he sighted n coon in tree and was recOg-
nized by the "crtter," the sagaciOus coon,
knowing that it was all up with him,
would call out :'"If that's you. Captain
Scott, don't fire for I'll come done. The
famous person alluded to was an officer in
the regular army, who rose from the ranks
having been commissioned for gallant
services in the war Of 1872. lie waa very
illiterate, and could not write his own
name, but ho could make his mark with
q rifle or common smooth bore flint lock
musket Of the olden times. Many anec-
dotes were told of him in the old army,
where he was universal favOrite with the
officers and men. He had for a great many
years before the Mexican war been captain
in the Fifth Infantry. and his company was
noted as good marSsmcn. 1t was the
boast of his men that their old captain
could pick up Il musket at any time and OF
hand put dozen bullets in the bulls eye,
one after the other, as fast as he could load
and fire. His own soldiers, who idolzed
him, got up the story about the coon,
which is correctly told above. This brave
officer VAS killed in the battle OF Mllina del
Rcy.
A IIINT TO GRUMDLERs.-"Wh a
noisy world this is ~ croaked an old frog
AS he squatted on the margin of the pool.
'Do you hear those geese, how they scream
and hiss 4? What do they do it for?'' "Oh,
just to amuse themselves" answered n
little mouse. Presently we shall have the
owls hooting. What is that for?n It's
the music they like best" said the mouse.
And those grasshoppers, they can't go
home without grinding and chirping. Why
do they do that ~ "Oh, they're so hap
py, they can't help it," said the mouse.
"You'll fiud excuses for all believe you
don't understand music, SO you like the
hideous noises" "Well, friend, to be ho-
nest with you" said the mouse Il don't
greatly admire any Of them but they are
all sweet in my ears compared with the
constant croakine of frog"
One day recently, citizen of an Eastern
town went to the cars 20 see his daughter
off. Securing her a seat he passed out o
the car, aud went round to her window TO
say parting word, as is frequently done
on such occasions. While he was passins
out the daughter left the seat to speak to a
friend, and at the same time, prim look
ing lady who occupied the seat with her
moved up to the wiudow. Unaware ofth
important changes inside, our venerabl
friend hastily put his face up to the window
and hurridly exclaimed Zone more kiss
sweet pet" In another instant the poin
of blue cotton umbrella caught his seduC
tive lips, followed by the passionate injunc
tion, "scat, you gray-headed wretch" an
he seated.

Recipes, Me


DRESSING For BOoTs.-One of the most
important means Of preserving health, es-
pecially at this season, is TO keep the feet
dry and warm. Farmers and others who
are exposed to wet and cold would find the
following composition very valuable as a
protection and preservation for their
boots. 1t is also excellent as a dressing for
harness Meats foot oil Il pint, beeswax
l ounce; spirits turpentine l ounce, pine
tar l ounce; melt and mix together, and
stir until cold. Spread and rub this COM
position over the leather while it is damp;
leather will absorb oil or grease better when
damp than dry. For the soles, take pine
tar and it in before fire until the soles
will absorb no more. Three or four appli-
cations will be needed. The durability of
the soles will be much increased.
How TO MAKE a GooD SoUP.-Procure
a soup bone, boil until tender, remove the
meat, add to the soup few unions, season
to suit the taste; slice the unions very thin:
set it to boil. Then take some flour in a
bowl, drop sweet milk in by the drop and
keep stirring with The right hand until you
think you have enough to thicken the soup
sufficiently, and you will what we call flour
rubbings. Add to the soup; let it boil up,
stirring it all the time, and it is done. II
is excellent warmed over for next day.
To MAKE SCREWS HOLD.-In driving
screws into soft wood, do not use bit tC
make hole. For the bit use the gimlet
screw and make hole with the brad-awl
just enough to allow the screw to start
The screw will cut its own way. and as the
wood is all there, it becomes compressed
and the threads are well oiled and solid
In hard wood, bore a hole no larger than
the core Of the screw, leaving the screws
to cut their full depth. \ little linseed oil
will assist the running Of the screws in and
prevent the breaking of the thread in the
wood it will also preserve the screw
against rust.
