SUCCESSFUL cattle breeders in Europe
give molasses constantly to fatten cat
tie and milch cows. A large German

THERE are two things in life that a

To POLISH TINs.-First rub your tins
with damp cloth then take dry flour
and rub it on with your hands; after
ward take an old newspaper and rub the
-four off, and the tins will shine as well
as if half an hour had been spent rub
bing them with brick dust or powder,
which spoils the hands.
INK FOR zinc AND TIN LABELs.-Take
one part verdigris, one part sal am
moniac, half part lampblack, and ten
parts of water. Mix well and keep in a
bottle with a glass stopper. Shake the
ink before using it. 1t will keep any
length of time Write on the label with
a coarse pointed steel pen. 1t dries in
a couple of minutes.
.MANUREs AND Colon. English

rose which, when planted in rich soil,
had the flowers changed to brilliant

To WASH CALIco.-Beef's gall, strain
ed and kept in bottle to put in the
water for washing calico, will prevent

which bran has been boiled, when

told on good authority that calico will
not fade if put to soak fifteen minutes
before washing in pailful of water in
which has been dissolved a teaspoonful
of sugar of lead.
SALT is simple remedy for many
things. 1t will cure sick headache,
make cream freeze, make butter come,

kill wens, kill worms, make the ground
cool, SO it is more copgenial to celery,
cabbage, etc, cease the itching pain
caused by irritable skin diseases, like
hives, itch, etc, produce vomiting or
stop it, as you like, and many other
things, too numerous to mention.

"secret for starting n balky horse p,
"Get him to think about something
else while starting. One convenient,
sure method is to put the hitch-rope

check, and stag-chain. Never worry his
mouth when he is in motion"
