An Eminent Scientific man explains
why Prof "Andcrson's Dermadof" acts
SO much more promptly than other APP
plications In curing sore parts, as fol.
lows; The usual applications, such as
plastcrs and poultices, conflne the heat,
so it escapes with difficulty, and the cure
must be slow.
The Dermador acts In direct opposi.
ton to all such applications--it keeps
the skin moist, and instead of combining
IL conducts the heat of, and reduces the
inflammation Immediately.

ALMOST A DIvoRCE.-As we were
vending our way towards our home a
few nights since, we were somewhat
startled by hearing some persons engag.
ed in an angry alteration. Involuntar-
lily we halted and discovered that Mrs.
Caudle was giving her worthy better
half sound lecture about the cook
stove. 1t seemed she had called at the
new hardware store of Potter & Bro,
and after seeing their large and fine as
sortment of cook stoves, she was deter
mined TO have new one. We could
hardly refrain from shedding tears as we
heard her complain of smoke, burnt
bread, sad rolls, etc, etc. Sadly we per-
sued our way meditating on the mani
fold cares of the housewife.
Ldter--We are happy to inform our
readers that since writing the above we
saw Potter ~ Bros fine express deliver
ing splendid cook stove ut the resi-
dence of Mr.. Caudle. The face of Mrs.
&. was radiant with smiles.
Norat.-A good cook-stove makes a
happy household.

o'clock, and at ten dancing COM
menced, which was kept up with
considerable animation till daylight

AGRICULTURAL.
The Wash-House.

For the benefit of our country friends
building farm-houses, in which comfort
and convenience are desirable to the
" help, as well as general cleanliness
to the household, we give these observa-
tons, OF the late Mr.. Loudon, in his En-
cyclop@dia of Architecture: aesss5
The wash-house should be well
lighted and therefore, if united with
other offices, it should, if practicable, be
made a corner building, and have win
dows on two sides.
Instead of portable round tubs,
which, as noticed in the preceding
book, are the most announcement of all
the forms that could be devised for
washing by hand, -oblong troughs,
about three feet IN length, eighteen
inches wide at the top, one foot wide at
bottom and eighteen inches deep.
should be fixed round the two lighted
sides of the room. Each trough should
have a hole and stopper in the bottom :
and close under these holes should be q
gutter, common to all the troupbs.
which may convey away the waste wa
ter to the manure tank. In one corner
or side of the room the boiler should be
placed and over it a supply pipe from
a cold water cistern. Pipes may be
conducted from both the cold water
cistern and the boiler, so as to deliver.
on turning cocks, Geld or hot water, at
pleasure, into the trough.
The floor of every bath-house ought
to be very carefully paved, with an in
clination of an inch in a yard towards
one corner, in which there ought to be
trap-drain leading to the manure tank.
The inclination, which will hardly be
perceptible to the eye, or recognized in
standing or walking, will yet be most
useful, by directing all the water.
which must occasionally be split on the
floor, to the point where it will be car
ried of. Close under the ceiling there
ought to be several openings communi-
eating with the outside air, to carry of
the steam, and in the bottom of the
door there ought to be corresponding
openings to admit fresh air; both open
ings ought to have shutters sliding in
horizontal grooves with hooks in them,
so as to admit of their. being easily
drawn back or pushed forward

Fertilizers for Potatoes.

A correspondent in a recent number
of the Country Gentleman recommends
as fertilizer for potatoes the following
One part salt, two parts plaster, three
parts lime, and four parts wood ashes,
mixed together, and one tablespoonful
applied to each hill at the time of plant
ing. On land tolerably rich with hu-
mus or vegetable substance, like an old
pasture, or bound-out moving lot, the
above fertilizer think would prove an
excellent dressing for potatoes, much
better than barn-yard manure, especial
ly if in its raw, green state. 1 think 1
shall use some in this way this
season by way of experiment on a small
piece of potatoes. But on land such as
I usually grow potatoes, VIZ, sandy
loan and rather lean in humus or vege-
table substance, should prefer a mod
crate barn-shovelful of ripe compost in
addition to the above named fertilizer,
applied to each hill composed of one
part green barn-yard manure and three
parts good swamp muck. I have had
very excellent luck for a number OF
years with this compost in the cuItiva-
ton of potatoes on soil as above de.
scribed, and can recommend it. 1 have
used also with good success all the in,
gradients in the above described fertil
izer except lime, incorporating then
with compost, and also applying then
to the hill at the time of planting, anG
to the vines, except the salt, during
their growing state, it serving not only
to promote their growth, but to keel
the vines green and healthy, and I SCI
nothing why a little lime mixed in will
these other ingredients should not b,
equally beneficial to promote the growth
of the potato plant.

How to Dress Sheep.

The Western Rural has heretofore
called attention to the offensive taste re-
sulting from the careless dressing of
sheep and shown that the process should
be completed as quick as possible. AS
GppropOs to the same subject the Lon
don Gentleman's Magazine says:
It may be of interest to some of our
country readers to learn how to dress
a sheep properly; because a great deal
of flavor depends upon how this opera
ton is performed. We give directions
how to avoid this i'll flavor which arises
from the absorption by the meat of the
gazes from the intestines, which, as the
outside of the carcass cooIs, cannot es-
cape, and are, therefore, absorbed by
the flesh. There is a simple remedy.
AS soon as the animal is dead, let the
hide be slit up from the brisket to the
tail, and to the knees, by a quick mo-
ton of sharp pointed knife, inserted
beneath the skin. Strip the skin from
the belly and the ribs and legs, so that
it viii be out of the way of the intes-
tines. Then open the sheep Immediate
Iy, and disembowel it. All this ought
to be the work of about one minute or
