FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

iOIhiO rLV"'
The Mark Lane EXPIRES. has the follow.
ing on one Of the implements exhibited
before the Royal Agricultural Society:
Corbett asd PeeIe's pillow has single
mold board and has a revolving disc com
posed Of several teeth or tines, which by
a simple attachment is fixed to tho hancles
Of the plow, and worl 5 just behind the
mold board, catching the furrow as it is
moved by the p'ow and tearing il to pieces.
As it is fixed to work ut an angle to the
the mold bonri and to the furrow, the po-
tatoes are deposited on the surface OF the
pulvcrized land, and very few fall into the
furrow sole, where they would be covered
by the next ridge unless gathered immedi
ately after the pillow. By this sincl. mold
beard two thirds, or nearly all the ridge, is
turned over and broken up on the mold
board side, and the fnrrow sole left has
scarcely single potato in it. The reyolv-
ing disc, acting on the whole furrow, at
once produced fine level and broad bed
for potatoes to fall upon.
This plow was put to work upon Regent
potatoes, the tops of which were ripe, and
male capital work. A few potatoes were
buSisi By the mold thrown up By the disc,
but there was no scratching at all for the
gatherers, and they could gather much more
rapidly than after the ordinary pillow ased
in the district.
A great merit of ,hi, principle is that it
i. adaptable to any ordinary pillow at the
cost Of &c. TIE plow with a rotary disc
is here she IN as one implement, but yirtu-
ally the invention consists in an apparatus
to be attached to rlow, and forming part
of its fittings or furniture, like the share
or the coulter, but only to be used for
special purposes. 1t will, however, pulver-
i.e land winter plowed in ridges, or at the
time of blowing most efficiently.
Eouscheld Hints.
QUEEN OF PuDDINGs. Take one pint Of
nice broad crumbs, one quart of milk, one
cup of sugar, the yo!ks of four eggs. we'll
beaten the rind Of fresh lemon, grated,
a piece of butter the size Of an egg: then
bake until one Now beat the whites Of
the four eggs to q stiff froth, add teacup
of white sugar into which has been p-evi-
ously stirred the juice of the lemon : spread
over the pudding large glass of Jelly, then
pour ever the pudding the whites of the
eggs. Place in the oven until lightly brown
ed. Serve with cold cream. l always beat
the butter, eggs, and sugar together.
TEA LEAvEs.-Save all the tea leaves
for few days, then steep them in tin
pail or pan for half an hour, strain through
a sieve and use the tea for al vanished
paint. Itrequires very little "elbow polish"
as the tea act. as strong detergent, cleans
ing the paint from all impurities, and IN Ak
ing the varnsh equal to new. 1t cleans win
dows, sa.hes and oilclo'h. indeed any var
nished surface is improved by application.
1t washes window panes and mirrors much
better than water, and is excellent for
cleaning black walnut picture and looking
vanished paint with it. Whiting Is une.
qualed for cleaning white paint. Take
small quantity on damp flannel, rub light
! " over the surface, and you will be sur
prised at its effects.
/ THE Uses OF GLYcERISE.-A property
| in glycerine, upon which many uses ar
low founded, is the facility with which it
| dissolves large class of bodies and at the
same time preserves them from alteration
and decay. Natural history specimens AID
Anatomical preparations can be kept in
slYcerine instead of alcohol.
Wood impregnased or washed with CIV.
cerine does not warp or dry up, and advan-
taee is taken of this fact to keep butter
tubs water psils, barrels and tanks from
shrinking.
| In fact, its uses are almost endless but
enough examples have been gi.en to show
upon what principle the applications are
, founded, and 1t IL easy tor Al intelligent
