The English Mechanic states that a
new process of iron-making has been
practically tested, and specimens of its
produce shown at Wolverhampton. The
bloom Is made direct from the ore,
which is ground, mixed with lime and
pitch, and baked in a coke oven. This
Is treated as pig-iron, and a furnace
charged with it is ready for working in
half an hour. 1t is also stated that a
ton of finished iron can thus be pro-
duced by the expenditure of but two
tons of coal,

HARMLESS HAIR REsToRATIvE.-The
Druggist Circular remarks = "The
basis of all the best lotions for restor-
ing hair is cantharides or ammonia. A
solution of borax in camphor water is
useful. 1t cleanses the roots of the hair,
and acts very slightly as a stimulant !;
and thereby it will serve to promote the
growth of the hair. But one of the
best stimulants we know of that has
not hitherto been published, is this =
Vinegar of cantharides, l fluid ounce !;
Glycerine, fluid ounces Rose water,
6 fluid ounces. Mix well. Let the mix
ture stand for twenty-four hours, and

An excellent soup can be made by put

How TO TREAT HoRsEs.-No one of the
domestic animals is so much akin to
men with reference to feelings and am
bition as the horse, for when he sweats
with heavy load, when he gets into
difficult places, and WHEN he is hurt by
his harness or saddle, he shrinks almost
in the same way that a man does. His
nerves seem to be equally sensitive with
g ours, and especial pains should be taken
to see that his harness sets easily and
does not gall him, and during hot
weather the lightest rig possible should
be used, and every superhuous strap
removed. The harness of the horses
drawing the street cars of New York is
without breeching back or belly bands /;
in fact, there is nothing but bride,
reins, collar, and tugs, which is ample
when horses plow. and also when put
to a wagon, providing the ground is
level and there is good brake. Let
the stable be airy and clean, and when
work is done for the day, let the horse
roll if he will, and then bathe his limbs,
back. and fanks. If it is absolutely
necessary to use a back-band, the owner
should be careful to see that it is not
too short, or bnckled too tight, and
that the pad is soft and kept in good
order 1t is absolutely disgraceful for
a farmers horse to have a sore back,
because it signifies that his owner is
both careless and cruel. A sore back
is a serious annoyance, and three or
four weeks with the best of treatment
are required for cure. If, however,
the cause remains wholly or only in
part removed and the healing scab is
broken and irritated the sore may be-
come almost incurable and the animal
become of little value. 1t should be
good cause for criminal prosecution if
an owner permits his horse to get into
this condition. The remedy for old
sores is pulverized burnt alum to eat
away the proud flesh, and for fresh ones
soap suds, but, probably luke-warm
water is better. Harsh, irritating appli
cations whether for outward or interior
ills, should be avoided, for they indicate
profound ignorance in him who pre-
scribes.-TribuHe.

RATTLEsNAKE BITEs.-The venom OF
the rattlesnake, as well as that of other
poisonous reptiles, can best be van
quished by copious drafts of whisky.
The ordinary effect of the whisky upon
the system is neutralized by the poison,
and the patient feels no i'll effects from
the stimulant. The action of the poi.
son upon the blood is such that power
ful stimulant is required. On the west
ern plains, where bites from rattle
snakes are of daily occurrence, whisky
is the universal and effectual remedy.

SUCCESS WITH SHEEP-The best way
to get a good flock of sheep is to raise
them, because there are but few chances
to buy such sheep as will pay to keep,
unless at high price. He who has good
sheep knows it as well as anybody else,
and, as a general thing, if he offers to
sell sheep, they will be culls. A be-
ginner should buy few good American
Merinos, say from 20 to 80, and if they
are really good-that is, young and free
from disease-there is more increase
and money in them than IN a flock of
500 culls, old, scabby, and otherwise
unsound. In fact, such sheep are not
worth the feed required to winter them,
and the best use to make of them is to
send them to the butcher, if that is
allowable. By commencing with few
sheep paintaking man can learn how
to manage them as fast as they grow,
being like some school-teachers, who
learn as fast as their scholars do. 1t
will take from three to five years to learn
the sheep business, and by that time
the flock should be of respectable size
We hardly know of an instance of young
men going blindly into the business
with 500 heads who have not lost their
whole investment.

TOBACCO LEAvEs.-The State Chemist
of Connecticut, in his recently pub
lished report, presents some interesting
information in reference to the tobacco
crop, with the results of tests upon the
tobacco leaves. The general summary
of the report is as follows: The most
highly valued tobacco in New England
is the thin, tough, elastic leaf, which
burns readily to ashes. Those leaves
containing the most carbonate Of potash
in their ashes, burn the most freely and
suitably. In some combinations potash
does not favor the burning, and some
tobacco manufacturers improve the
flavor and burning quality by artifcially
impregnating the leaf with acetate
citrate, or tartrate of potash, applying
the latter in solution and then drying.
Chlorine Injuries the tobacco, as does
also nitric acid. Sulphuric acid, united
with potash, soda or lime, favors the
burning of tobacco. The best tobacco
is produced on well-drained, warm,
sandy lands. 1t is believed heavy
manuring increases the quantity of the
crop generally at the expense of quality
as regards texture.

TRANSFER OF DISEASE FROM CION To
SToCK.-Some twelve months ago my
attention was directed to a tree having
golden foliage, which surpassed any
thing of the sort / had ever seen for
richness of color and effect. On exami-
nation found it to be a Horse Chestnut
evidently suffering from disease, caused
either by soil or situation. In July last
| got some buds from it and worked
them on some young trees, at about
three or four feet from the ground, a
number of which have failed but,
strange to say. many of the stocks have
produced foliage exactly like that of the
parent of the cion, though the buds
themselves are dead. / cannot say
whether or not the stocks in which the
buds are growing are similarly affected,
as it is not usual to let such stocks pro-
duce foliage, nor can | see any signs of
the yellow color in the growing buds.
Ny opinion is that many of the buds
had not vitality enough to keep them
alive through the winter, but that during
'heir short period of existence they
managed in some way to impart the
variegation to the stock. and that in
case of the growing buds they may have
been more vigorous, and by the help of
the stock may have outgrown the varie-
cation altogether. Another curious
thing connected with the matter is that
there is not the least trace of variegation
in the foliage of any one of the stocks
below the incision made at the time of
budding.-H. House, IN Garden.

AERoNAUTIC STEERAGE.-At the last
meeting of the Aeronautical Society,
London, two rather important steps of
progress were reported. One is that
by NJ. Dupuy de Lerne, who sends in
formation that by means of a screw
worked by eight men, in balloon
weighing altogether four tons, he has
been able to cause the balloon to deviate
twelve degrees either way from the di-
rection in which the wind was blowing.
This. as the chairman remarked, would
have enabled balloons to go into Paris
as well as out of it. A step in the di-
rection of motive power, combining
strength with lightness, was exhibited
in small machine occupying less than
a square yard, in which steam was got
up by the use of gas in less than two
minutes to pressure of 100 pounds to
the square inch. The machine weighs
only fourty pounds, and is of four-horse
power. On the same principle it was
observed that another engine could be
made of 100-horse power that will
weigh within 700 pounds. One is Or

structed for the Aeronautical Society of
Vienna, at a cost of G1 200.
