Germ Hot Reds

The Home Journal, in a recent issue,
says We feel that, in giving some ac-
| count of translucent cloth hot beds, to
| be employed instead OF the expensive
glass frames IN general use, we are
dong all ou gardening readers ser.
vice We can vouch fer the value OF
the German not beds, having tried
them very sJ,cce sfully many years ago
For forcing early melons, tomatoes,
etc, this prepared cloth is especially
| adapted, as 1t can be tackled TO boxes
OF any size required aud cut to tit them.
Little, rough, square boxes ofthe prop.
er size and height, covered with the
prepared cloth, can be placed over the
hills IN which tomato, melon or other
seeds are planted, and the plants allowed
to stand, without transplanting, until
all danger Of frost is over, when the
boxes may be taken of and
| packed away carefully for another
! season Take white cotton cloth, of a
close texture, stretch 1T, and nail it ON
frames OF any size you wish; mix two
ounces of lime water, four ounces OF
| hnseed oil, one ounce of white of eggs
separately, two ounces of yolk of eggs ];
mix the lime and oil with very gentle
heat, beat the eggs separately, and mix
with the former. Spread this mixture
with n paint brush over the cloth, al
lowing each coat to dry before apply
ing another until they become water
proof. The following are some of the
advantages these shades possess over
glass: l. The cost is hardly one
| fourth. 2. Repairs are easily and
cheaply made. 3. They are light,
and they do not require watering !;
no matter how intense the heat of the
sun, the plants are never struck down,
or faded, or checked in growth neither
do they grow up long, sickly and weak
ly, as they DO under glass, and still
| there is an abundance Of light The
heat, entirely arising from below, is
equable and temperate, which is a
| great object. The vapor arising from
the manure and earth is condensed by
the cool air passing over the surface of
the shade, and hangs IN drops upon
the inside, and therefore the plants do
not require SO frequent watering. is
the frames or stretchers are made large,
they should be intersected with cross
bars about foot square, to support the
cloth. These articles are just the thing
for bringing forward flower seeds in
season for transplant.ng.

Trading Horscs-wurrantee.

In trading horses It Is generally sup
posed that the parties to the bargain
depend upon their own Judgment, and
If one is cheated no one Is TO blame.
but the warruntee holds good In this
case. if the party be responsible, iust
az much as In any other. The law in
the case is laid down 10y a New York
Judge rs follows:
If a man warrant a horse. 1t is not
necessary for him 60 say, Il warrant
that horse, Int any distinct altifma-
ton in regard 10 the quality or con
dltlon of a horse made 10 operate, and
which does operate, on the sale, amounts
TO a warrantee. II Il man don't want to
warrant he must keep his mouth shut:
and if he does open his mouth, he must
tell the truth.
If the seeds of disease are in horse
when a man warrants him. the man who
makes the warrantee takes the respon.
sibiGty as to whether the seeds viii
sprout or not, but a waTrantee don't
apply to known defects which can be
seen. Ii horse has an eye knocked
out, or has but three legs, and the
owner says, L warrant that horse tC
be sound, the law does nut take no.
tee OF that, rs the warrantee does not
apply
1t may be further remarked that the
seller OF mitch cow Is under quite as
clear legal obligation to tell the truth
IS the seller of horse.

The Shield Of Health.

Debility opens the door to disease. Nor is this
all. When the door has been opened, and the terri

it barred or, if the enemy has already secured a
foohold, rally the strength of the system and assist
nature to drive out the foe of health and life. The
means of doing this is within every ones reach.

Extraordinary Surgical Operation.

The Lancet gives an account of an
extraordinary operation in which
the nerves of the left upper
extremity, from their origin Mt the YER
tebral column almost to their insertion
at the hand, were raised from their
beds and subjected TO stretching and
pulling. The patient was a soldier,
who had been struck on the nape of
the neck by the butt end OF a musket,
and following the injury there was the
most violent contraction OF the muscles
of the upper extremity, attended by a
loss of sensation In the skin over the
same. This continued for nearly two
years, when the operation was perform
ed by making three long incisions, one
on the arm, one in the axilla, and over
the left calvicle; the nerves we've raised,
submitted to the manipulations dis
cribed above, then returned, and when
the wounds healed the parts were en-
tirely restored to their normal state

AGRICULTURAL.
How 10 Peel Onions.

Few persons can peel onions without
shedding tears over them. This serves
to wash the onions preparatory to
cooking them. A scientific cook has
recently discovered, however, a neater
way of washing them, at the same time
they are being peeled, and all without
tears. 1t IS simply to nearly fill a deep
pan with water, and to peel the onions
beneath its surface. 1t is a small dis
covery, but 1t viii save oceans of tears.
1t is said that needle held in the
mouth while one is skinning these tear
seeds will keep the brine out of the
eyes

An Experiment IN Feeding Horses.

Al Experiment an Feeding Horses.
The London Omnibus Company use
SIX thousand horses. To ecopomise in
feed is an important matter, and has
led TO several tests, the result of which
IS recorded as follows:
To each of three thousand of their
horses they gave a daily allowance of
ground oats sixteen pounds, ground
hay seven aud one-half pounds, and
cut straw one and one eighth pounds
the hay and straw being cut into pieces
about half an inch long, and well mix
cd up with oats in a little water, and
SO making twenty-six pounds of food
Ior each horse. And to each of the
other three thousand horses they gave
Il daily allowance OF whole or unbruis-
ed oats nineteen pounds, and uncut or
whole hay or straw thirteen pounds.
without any water in our old fashioned
way, making thlrty-two pounds of this
food for oach horse And what was
the result Why, 1t was soon discov-
ed that the horse who was fed on the
twenty-slX pounds Of ground oats re
manned IN as good n condition and
could perform just as much work and
do it just as well, too, as the horse
did who consumed thrty-two pounds
Of food as aforesaid-thus showing a
saving OF SIX pounds of food per dav
III favor of bruised oats and cut hay.

THERE are some curious laws Oh
Pennsylvania statute books. It was
only the other lay that mention was
made OF the law IN the state which au-
thorized a married man to refuse his
mother-in-law access to his wife and to
forbid his wife access to the church of
her faith. A ease in PHILADELPHIA
court on Saturday last developed an
other quaint regulation in force in the
land of Penn, and this is that, in addi-
ton TO the ordinary duty of a man to
support his wife and children, if he
have any, the law of Pennsylvania also
requires that where a poor person is
not able to work, = and has parents or
grandparents, children or grand-chil-
dren, such ancestral progenitors or de-
scendant posterity, as the case may be,
'shal relieve and maintain such poor
| PERSONS at the rate to be prescribed by
the court of quarter sessions.
