The RINGS OF SATURN.--The rings of
Saturn have always been an enigma to as
etronomers. La Place showed that if they
were solid, and Of the same thickness
throughout, they would soon fall down on
the planet and be destroyed. He there
fore supposed them of irregular density.
Notmay gears ogo Professor Pierce found
that the same catastrophe would occur
even in this case. and he and Bond have
concluded th&t they are fluid It soon
became doEbtfRa whether Guid ring
would be any more stable, and Professor
Peirce hence conceived the idea that it
was held up by the attractions of the satel-
lites. Mr.. Him, Fref,eh physicist, has
lately presented paper to the French Acad
envy, m Winch he MAINTAINS that 4fse ring
rs neither solid nor aBuid, Bot is swarm
of small particles, which looks gold owing
to the great distance at which we see it.
The|idea is not new, as it was developed
mathematically more saaam ten years
ago by Mr.. j. G. Maxwell, of England
but Mr.. Hirn adduces some new arguments
to its support One of these is that when
she ring is seen on ITS dark side. which
as presented to us ON very rare occasions,

iacted , II is the most valuable fruit OF
+bo North all its excellent qualities con-
eiderad and vet less attention is given
~ crossing snd raising new varieties
Than with fruits of much less value. Old
men can remember the Rhode Island
Greening, Baldwin and Roxbury Russet
when they were boys, but where is the
new apple that will supersede any of
these If someo of our enterprising young
pomologists would plant only a dozen
trees of the best sorts, so that the
branches would intermingle, as IN the
case of DR.. Kirtland's cherry trees, a
quantity of crossed seed might be OBJ
tanned in few years that would plant
a specimen nursery or orchards of seed
lings ten or twenty thousand in num-
Der. Cross the Baldwin with the Swaar
or the Esopus Spitzenburgh, and the
Rhode Island Greening with the WACO
ner, and there is no doubt that among
so many new sorts there would be some
that would combine the yigor and pro
ductiveness of one with the excellent tia-
vor of another A thousand trial trees
might occupy an acre till the period OF
bearing, and nothing could exceed the
interest with which these new sorts
would be watched as they REDEEMED into
beauty and excellence for the first time.
The most promising might be grated
into old trees, twenty sorts or more into
one tree, and the period of bearing thus
accelerated. Who is there who has Ell
terprise enough to undertake the task on
a large scale p Ult50dtOr.

management of Short Horns

A writer says of the herd and manage
ment of of A. w. Winslow and Sons of
Putney, Vt, there are at this farm
something over thirty head of Short
Horns besides grade stock. The Messrs.
Winslow have given special attention to
the improvement of dairy qualities, and
make their COWS useful for dairy purpos-
es, deriving, as we learn, handsome in
come from this source.
Their cows are MIXED and treated the
same as grade cows kept only for their
milk, would be. Their appearance and
condition showing that they are thor
oughly MIXED and not pampered. By
this course of treatment the herd is
made profitable one, aside from the
sale of stock. We cannot too strongly
commend this system of management
of Short Horns. The dairy quality is
developed by breeding and habit, and
the infusion of the blood of such herd
into the common stock of the State will
make a real improvement, producing cat
tie that are useful for the dairy and val
liable for beef. There were some very
promising calves, the stock of the full
Princess bull, Earl of Seaham The
Messrs. Winslow have made speciali-
ty of the Princess blood, noted always
as good dairy stock, and now have the
largest and finest family of that valua-
BILE strain of blood in the country.

TALLow CANDLES. you give me
a recipe for making tallow candles that
will burn bright Also please tell me
what makes some tallow so soft Is
there anything that can be put in to har-
den il? have tried alum, beeswax and
rosin, but to no effect-r:haye been told
that my beef was too fat; would that
make the tallow soft Pm. g. s.. Cana
joharie, N. Y. THE first requisite in
e, making good candles is to have the best
inaterial-tallow and wick We never
found any difficulty as to softness, when
beef tallow was kept perfectly clean and
well tried. The best candles are run in
molds-melting together for this purpose
ten ounces of tallow, one-quarter ounce
of camphor, two ounces of alum, and
four ounces of white wax. If the tallow
is good the wax and alum may be omit
ted in cheap candles. Soak the wick in
lime water and saltpetre. Nearly every
person is familiar with the old mode of
dipping candles-of doubling ana twist
ing the wicks over rods-dipping them
in lime water and vinegar-keeping the
tallow melted in a large kettle over a
portable furnace, andkeeping the top of
the tallow even by pouring in hot water
as 1t is used up. Keep both tallow and
candles in cool place. If any of our
correspondents can give any additional
information, we shall be glad to hear
from them. CultjgdtOr.

WY Method of washing.

When the clothes are removed Sunday
morning they are put to soak IN a tub
or barrel containing cold water-with-
out soap-which is made ready the even
ing before, Of course, asserting them in
to four lots namely-tine, coarse, col
ored and hannels; flannels are not soak
ed Monday morning they are pounded
and squeezed in this water with long
handled light mallet, then wrung out and
after the water is removed, thrown back
into the barrel with a sufficient quantity
of soap and boiling water poured over
them-f1annels and colored clothes not
put into boiling water-then pounded
and squeezed again for a few minutes.
Very few, if any will need rubbing on
the board, as this process leaves them
clean; they are then wrung out and put
into bag and put on to boil with cold
water with very little soap.
After boiling about twenty minutes
they are removed to a tub of water and
gently rubbed, that no particles of soap
may adhere to them, then wrung, and
put into q little rinsing water, a little
blue and slightly warm. Rinse, wiring,
shake out well and hang up to dry.
White flannels should be washed in clean
suds, and all woolens rinsed in water of
the same temperature as that in which
they have been washed.
A very little starch in the rinse water
improves the looks of white or colored
clothes, besides they are more easily
ironed. My clothes, washed in this way,
are as white and clean as any one could
desire. / find a wringer great help in
washing
Starch for common clothes make as
follows, and find it superior to that which
is boiled and strained, and much less
trouble. Stir about four tablespoonful
of flour with cold water into thin paste
leaving no lumps-and pour into it a
quart or two of boiling water, stirring
all the while Then pour it into quart
or two of cold water, and let it stand a
few minutes to settle. After it has set
tied the top may be poured off for use.
