Rag Carpet.

A correspondent of the German
town Telegraph treats this matter in
a practical manner IN the following
style:
Making rag carpet seems to be
quite an important branch of industry
among economical farmers wives and
daughters, and few suggestions iu
regard to their manufacture may not
come amiss. Put none but strong
rags in, for it does not pay, and the
economy in rag carpet is not in the
first cost, but because it Outlasts any
other you can buy. 1t is not at all
necessary to cut or tear the rags off
at each end of the piece, but turn the
corners, rounding tnem off neatly, or
it will make the carpet rough. When
l have finished one piece and COM
mence another, I sew the ends to-
gether and they are already to wind
up, so they are sewed up as fast as
they are cut. I think it very dis
couraging to have ten or twenty
pounds OF rags all in 8 mass, as they
are almost sure to be, to be sewed.
The cotton rags 1 sew and reel into
skeins before dyeing the woolen ones
I dye in the piece. 1 prefer prepared
warp, aDd always try to get some 1
cannot break.
A very pretty stripe for carpets is
made by taking two contrasting or
some bright color and white 1--WE have
crimson and white cutting the rags
in pieces fve inches long and sewing
the colors alternately. Get the weaver
to be little careful in weaving it and
make into clouds or steeples; prefer
clouds. 1t is very pretty when Just
woven in as it comes, l have one
strip that l tied the skeins OF white
rags with new unbleached factory for
two or three inches, with intervals of
six or seven inches, then dye it dark
blue. 1t is very pretty and not much
work.
To Dye Blue.-FOr eight pounds OF
rags make strong solution of one
pound OF alum. Dip the rags in first,
then a few at time in a small quantity
OF water containing Prussian blue, then
add a little more OF the blue to this
water, and in this water dip a few
more rags and so on. Reouired
about eight ounces of Prussian blue.
This is much better than using oxalic

For the Jefiersoniar
Protection for Bees,
VrsroN Wood Co O. Anr;l

WESTON, Wood Co., O., April %.
MKssRs. EDIroRs In late issue Of
your paper find an inquiry from the
Marysville Tribune as to the number of
swsrms of bees that have survived the
past winter. In answer would say
that 1 have wintered fifty swarms the
last winter without losing single
swarm. Some of my swarms were
very small in the fall, but they came
out ali safe, while fully two thirds of
my neighbors' bees have perished
from the cold with their hives full of
honey. -..-.
l owe my success 70 my mode OF
wintering, which is as follows: Last
fall built me bee-house IA by 90
feet feet in hight sided and bat
tened the outside and boarded up on
the inside with inch space between.
This space I filed with ssv.dust, then
spiked on 2 inch strips and lathed and
pl lastered, leaving 2 inch air space;
covered the floor overhead with six
inches of saw dust, leaving hole 10
by 10 inches for ventilation. In this
house l can conveniently winter $50
swarms.
In conclusion, allow me to say that
If our bee-keepers would take little
pains to mske their bees comfortable,
they woul d not complain of their bees
dying with hives full of honey.
Yours, J.Z. SMITH.

Drilling Corn.
Here is what Vlrginian says ::

Here is what VIrginian says:
1 took field of about seventeen
acres, and, after preparing it in the
usual way, drilled the rows three and
hall feet apart, leaving the stalks
eighteen inches apart. This was a
field on which the usual crop had been
about thirty bushels per acre, being
planted in hills three feet and three
inches each way, with two stalks to
the hill. l used manure enough, as 1
thought, to add ten bushels of corn
more to the acre. The result last fail
was, my poorest acre yielded forty
five bushels. l think the drilling pro-
cess added at least ten bushels to the
acre to the old way. Four OF five of
my neighbors made the same expert
ment with about like results. Indeed,
it is no longer an experiment here, as
facts for the last few years have pro-
ven that drills are more profitable
than hills, and large interest is being
manifested in it. 1t is a popular error
that corn can only be drilled with a
machine on smooth land, as a part Of
the land 1 drilled last year was Just
cleared and full of stumps.

Garden Gleanings.

The London Gardener thus dilate.
upon the usefulness of the grape:
Z" Men can live and work on grapes
and bread. The peasantry OF France,
Spain and Italy make many salts
tying meal in this way, and OF the
wholesomeness OF the diet there can
be no doubt. Medical men constantly
recommend the use of grapes for their
patients. Scarcely any plant cln eqnal
the vine as regards the beauty OF its
leaves and fruit. As a covering for
bare walls and for afording shelter
and shade, it is climber OF the first
rank. To sit under ones own vine
has in all ages been considered the
acme of rural happiness, an emblem
OF peace, a symbol of plenty and a
picture of contentment. The pleasure,
though perhaps not in all its fulness,
may become the heritage OF tho lsands
in these temperate climes."
At local meeting in New England,
one speaker said he considered the
value Of his farm enhanced fully ST.
900 in consequence of the attractive
ness given to it by FIVE elm trees,
planted along the roadside by his
grandfather, eighty-fye years ago.
The weeping willow has romantic
history. The first scion was sent from
Smyrna, in box OF figs, to Alexander
Pope. Gen. Clinton brought shoot,
from Pope's tree, to America, in the
time OF the Revolution, which, pass
ing into the hands of John Parke Cur
tis, was planted on his estate, in Vir-
gInia, thus becoming the progenitor OF
the weeping willow in this country.
4 correspondent of the Farmers
Club, New York, says that for remov-
ing knots from plum trees, he takes a
paint brush, dips i; in spirits of tur-
pentine, knd thoroughly saturates the
knot, being careful not to touch the
tree except in the diseased parts. The
turpentine kills the excrescence, and
the tree puts out healthy branches be-
low. He burns all branches OF dis
eased trees which he has removed in
pruning.
Il. Is. Bateham;of Painesville, Ohio,
says the Clarke is the hardest of the
Antwerps, having withstood the ex-
tremes of the last winter without in
jury, while the Philadelphia, for the
first time, suffered severely. 1t does
best in strong soils. He also finds the
Franconia and Naomi raSpberries
hardy.
A hanging garden OF sponge Is one
OF the latest novelties in gardening.
Take a white sponge of large size, and
sew it full OF nee, oats or wheat. Then
place it for a week or ten days in a
shallow dish, and as the sponge will
absorb the moisture the seeds will be-
gin to sprout in a few days. When
this has fairly taken place the sponge
may be suspended by means Of cords
from hook in the top ofthe window
where a little sun will enter. 1t will
thus become like a mass of green, and
can be kept wet by merely lmmersing
it in bowl of water.

A Wisconsin farmer, who keeps q
large flock of sheep, raises twelve
bushels of wheat to the acre more
than his neighbors.
The Poultry World declares that a
thrifty fowl will drink fifteen or twen
ty times day, if it has the chance, and
still oitener in a close coop or hot
weather.

achievement OF twelve shearers of
sheep, who, between Monday morn

Saturday, turned out the handsome
number of Z, $40 ewes and lambs,
averaging l, 263, or 1861 per man

Clear Water for the Cows.

The following extract from com
munication to the Journal Of tie
Royal AgricultstrdI Society of Eng
land, by Mr.. Y. a. Willard, furnishes
an illustration of the importance OF
securing clean water for milch COWS :
Prof Law, OF Cornell University.
gets his supply Of milk from milk
man, One day, during the hot
weather, he observed a peculiar ropy
appearance in the cream which had
risen on the milk. He examined it
under a powerful microscope, and
found it filed with living organisms
of character quite foreign to good
milk. He Immediately called upon
his mdkm an, to inquire concerning his
management of stock and general
treatment of milk, with view OF ac-
counting for the trouble. There was
no fault discovered at the dairy-hOuse,
in the milking, or in the treatment OF
the milk but on looking through the
pastures, he found that the COWS, for
lack of clean, running water, were
compelled to slake their thirst for the
most part from stagnant pool. This
water he examined under the micro
scope, and discovered the same class
of organisms as those in the cream
He than took some of the blood from
the COWS and examined it under the
glass, when the same organisms made
their appearance. He next obtained
specimen of good milk-miik which
on examination was free from impuri-
