in hot weather. -'r gi er,,
RooTs.-It these are stored in cellar
under the dwelling rooms, have them
covered with dry earth, which will pre-
vent disagreeable and unhealthful odors
from coming into the apartments.
PRESERVING TIMBEE.-A process has
been recently patented in England for
charring the surfaces Of ioists and
beams used in buildings as a preserva-
tive against decay. A seasoned fence
post, of which the foot, so far IS it is
buried in the ground or exposed to va
riations of moisture, has been charred to
the depth of quarter of an inch, is
rendered many times more durable than
an unprepared post.
HORSE TALK.-You should always
keep your horse fat, and never ALLOW any
line on him. ..e t, ......
An all in horses foot is often caused
by a nail there.
You may stirrup your saddle, but
don't stir up your horse-in crowd.
If yen don't look carefully after the
bits Of your horse, you may one day be
looking after the bits of your wagon.
COOLING THE AIR IN DwELLINas.-AD
ingenious continuance has been success
fully applied to cooling the air during
the summer in french hospital (Hos-
pital Laribisiere). The machine con-
sists of refrigerator which has an ice
chamber surrounding an air reservoir.
The chamber is filed with ice and salt,
and current of air is drawn through
the reservoir spirally by means Of sort
of revolving fan, or "fy wing" The
cost of the method is about equal to that
of warming the same building during
the winter season.
KILLING LICE on CATrLE.-A CORE
spondent of the Maine Farmer says, il
reference to advice that had previously
been given, not to apply kerosene oil tc
cattle for the purpose of killing lice:
avoided the use of kerosene for this
purpose for several years, fearing il
might be injurious, but for the last
three years have used nothing else
with our large stock of cattle, and should
be very unwilling to give it up. As
often as the stockis known to be troubled
with lice, each creature is carded all
over quite thoroughly, frequently dip
ping the teeth of the card in the oil.
Two or three applications are sufficient.
No remedy that l have tried is so con-
venient, and none more harmless o,
eifactual. ... ...-....
| UNFERMENTED BEEAD. To make good
unfermented bread Graham -four should
be mixed with water and little salt,
and baked in small loaves, in cast iron
bread pans known as Wisconsin
BASIN" The oven and pan should be
hot, the dough made of the ordinary
consistence, and the pans half full. The
heat coagulates the gluten on the outer
surface of the dough, thereby pre-
venting the escape of steam and causing
the bread to raise in moment. II the
oven is sufficiently hot, the bread bakes
before the steam escapes, and remains
light and wholesome. This is the
sweetest and most nourishing of all kinds
of bread, and can be made with half as
much labor as yeast bread.
COOKED MEAT FOR FowLs.-Fowls, q:
well as dogs, become quarrelsome if fec
on raw meat Besides, cooking makes
it more nutritious. When raw it is
rather harsh and crude, compared witt
the mild natural diet of worms an6
grubs which are for the most part soft
and easy dissolved by digestion. Occa
sionally, for variety, q little meat may
be given raw. Fish, when plenty mor'
is conveniently given boiled, because il
that state the fowls easily pick ever.
morsel from the bones, and no mincins
is required. Chambers scraps have th'
advantage of being already cooked, all,
on that account, rs well as mary others
they are excellent.-Poultry World.
