HOG Manure

The amount OF hog manure that is an
nually wasted in this country, il computed
at its money value, would startlc tho
farming community. Pens arc constructed
devoid oftioors, and the ground absorbs
what might be gathered if water light
foors were put in them. 1t is charac-
tcristic OF the hug that although if running
1T large he will waliow in the mire, but
when placed in clean and foorcd pens he
will have Il nice clean, dry corner to lie in,
and if 50 arranged, drop his excrcmcnts in
one place and feed in another. Thus by Il
knowledge Of his Ways, the manure might
he daily gathered IN a heap, and tho Ter
tllizing resources Of the farm augmented.
In regard to its value, i" there is no ma.
narc made On the farm equal to the excre-
mcnts Of swine. 10 what purpose socyor
it may be- applied it will sustain its
reputation as one Of the best fertilizers.
For m!nuring corn in tho hill the manure
made by the G4ttcninS hog stands prc.
cmnent above 0li other kinds and the
absorbents best To make manure for This
purpose stand in poin, of excellence il tho
following order: First. s;lw.dust; mex,

rough materials, which must undergo fer

How to Make q Mustard Plaster.

How many people arc there who
really know how to make mustard
plaster Not one in Il hundred, ut the
most, perhaps, and yet mustard plastcrs
arc used in every family, and PHI siciaus
prescribe their application, never tell
ing anybody how to make them, for
tho simple reason That doctors them
selves do not know, rs II rule. The
ordinary way is to NIX the mustard
with water, tempcring it with little
-four, but such plaster rs that makes
it simply abominablc. Before it has
half done it's work it begins to blister
tho patient: and leave him finally such
IL painful, iiayc'l spot, after having
produced far less effect in a beneficial
way than WAS intended. Now, II mus.
tarl plaster should never make a
blister at all. If Il blister is wanted,
there are other plastcrs far better than
mustard for the purpose. When you
make a mustard plaster, then, use no
water whatever, but mix the mustard
with the white OF an egg, and the result
will be plaster which will "draw y
perfectly, but will not produce blister
even upon the skin Of All infant, no
matter how long it is allowed to re
main upon the part. For this We have
the word OF an old aud eminent ply.
stefan, as we'll as our own experience.
lr frequently happens that Il farm
will not divide we'll among children
there is trouble in making an equitable
distribution of the property. In such
instances it is we'll to consider the sub
ject of life insurance. For small sum
paid annually, large amount of ready
money may be left to the widow .,
daughter at the period of ones death
and they will he just as independent as
the SONS who divide and keep the farm.

by thousands who are interested, and

Stare Il ing II nd Iron inx.

1t seems strange t. lis old hOuseke cpcrs
that anybody should fluid difficulty in doing
up bosoms and collars nicely, but our
ranks are continually recruited by women
quite ignorant of these mysteries. The
mutations in Wall street u year ago left Il
neighbor ofmino poor, and now the brave
wife hires nothing done but tho washing.
She came in to-day to ask just how to
make and manago the starch, and l was
glad to tell her. Dissolve tho pearl
starch in Geld water, pour On boiling wa
ter, stirring it all the timo till it is the
right CONSISTENCY, that is, about us thick us

will not iron nicely If too thin, tho linen
will not bo stiff enough.

from the rinse water, rub the starch well
into them and hang them ON the limo.
When l sprinkle tho clothes | have Il
bowl Of thin cold stach from which /
wiring the collars and bosoms and let
them lie two or three hours or over night.
When they are to be ironed place them
ON the bosonl-board, rub them till they lie
smoothly with soft, clean, damp cloth,
and then pass the iron over them. If the
starch shows ANY disposition to stick
lay Il thin clotllon tho bosom and pass tho
iron over that first then remove it aud
finish the work.
Various substances are used to give the
linen i. polish, and keep the iron from
sticking. Some use a little lard Or butter,
and few shavings of white soap stirred
in tho starch just alter hot water has been
poured over it. Others use il tea-spoonful
Of whtesug:.r. or q bit Of wax candle, or Il
little gum arabic water. Some boil their
starch five minutes, others only ole, and
others not ut all. Some do not make
their starch until they sprinkle their
clothes, and then rub tho starch into the
dry linen and let it lie over night before
ironing. and some depend entirely on cold
starch. But l have found the first method
given the surest ind easiest.
| II one is disposed to polish her linen, Il
polishing iron may be purchased ut any
hardware store. 1t is u small steel faced
iron with Il bulge at the acute end, and
costs from IS cents to 81. The articles t.
be polished are first ironed in tho ordinary
way, then dampened by laying on them a
wet cloth, then placed on hoard and rub.

iron till they shine.
Linen that is placed Immediately after

permitted to dry slowly. It's a good plan
tolay collars and other small articles on i,

Adelina Patti Mt Convent Garden.

Madame PATHS impersonat,on of
Leonora in Ii Trovatore," says the
London Orchestra, kept the audience at
Convent Garden on Thursday, in a
lligi-wrougLt state of admiration and
excitement. It is generally recognized
that Madame PATHS voice this year is
richer and purer than ever. 1t has
gained in fulness and depth it has
some low notes worthy of Madame
Trebclli. Time deals more
than gently with the Mtu-
deals lovingly, and bcautifics her
more ard more. Looking at her girlisll
loneliness, and Watching her trip light
~ across the stage, we forget how long
we have had A.lclina among us. Is it
twelve or thirteen seasons ? She is per-
| haps three years older than when she
first came. Some of Northern cnlur-
ancc seems to fix the Southern bloom
and ri pcncss it yields neither to time
nor fatigue, and the Patti Of 1873 is all
that was the Patti Of the early sixties,
with the gifts of culture and experience
added thereto. The willness of her
versatility is demonstrated when. as on
Thursday, she undertakes highly
dramatic role. She who is the Norma,
the Zcrlina, the Dlnorall of ali
time can hold Lconora against
any competitor. As admirable in
pentup passion rs in irrcprcssible
gayety, she fills all parts with the COM
pleteness and sclf-abanlonmcnt Of Il
thorough artist. Sig. Nicolini was the
Manrico, and earned the favor of all nv
the energy and correctness of his per.
formancc. At tho close of the third
