A GOOD FERTILIZER.

The Scientific american says farmers
have to pay high price for an article
which, with little skill, they could make
themselves during the winter months or on
rainy days, when they have little else to do,
and gives receipt for cheap fertilizer sue
cessfully used by farmers in Pennsylvania
and Ohio. The formula presented below is,
however, wanting-except incidentally, as
recommendation the ingredient which is
most apt to give trouble and to cause injary
in transportation and handling, viz. oil of
vitriol, or sulphuric acid, and is doubtless
good one, if the article is applied in sufi.
cient quantities. The mixture is especially
recommended for potatoes and wheat by
farmer who has tried it, and who says he has
used it with success on corn and other prod
ucts 1t is as follows:
Take 1000 pounds OF good mold, sif and
screen it to get the gravel out and make it
as fine as possible; then spread on floor,
add 100 pounds sulphate ammonia, 100
pounds common salt, and mix with rake ;
when thoroughly mixed, add twenty-five
pounds pearl ash and twenty-five pounds sui
phate Of soda, mix we'll then add 400
pounds ground bone, 25 pounds best Peruvi-
an guano, and 100 pounds ground plaster.
Mix the whole thoroughly, throw in pile
for As hours, and it is fit for use. If it is
to be used for potatoes in districts where po-
tato bugs are numerous, five gallons sulphur
10 acid may be sprinkled over the mass. The
caution is added that the acid must not be
used in confined place, as the fumes are
injurious to health, and that if it is spilled
on the floor, water must be thrown on as the
mixture generates heat.

SKIM MILK CHEESE.

When it is to be manufactured into con.
densed food, milk seems to be the only nat.
ural food which contains in itself all the con-
stituents necessary to the proper supply Of
all the TISSUES of the human body. Scien.
lists find while food contains numerous prox-
innate principles, including water, its chief
value as a nutritive agent aud for commerce
depends on the quantity Of casein, butter
and sugar mechanically and chemically held
in the lacteal fluid BY quantitive analysis
of hundred pounds Of milk, it is found to
contain A of casein: 81 of butter; Al
parts of sugar. In the manufacture of
cheese, portion of butter is Lost in various
ways, apparently more being wasted when
the night milk is retained in the vat until
morning, and mixed with the morning mess,
than there is when the milk is manufactured
into cheese Immediately on its reception at
the factory. 1t is to save this waste and
produce more FROM the same quantity Of
milk that the factories called "creameries"
were established.
Some of the experiments in the uianuiac.
ture of butter and cheese in creameries,
show the following practical results, which
hJ OuCo Despehh tHcH ublhtJs
In one creamery from 5000 pounds of
milk, 80 pounds of butter can be made,
which leaves the fluid still rich enough to
make pound of cheese from ten and one
half pounds of milk or $50 pounds OF cheese.
The butter and cheese brought clear Of ex-
ponse of making a total Of S92.6O as a net
result from the milk The same quantity Of
milk manufactured into cheese exclusively
will give net sum for sales Of SS0-a bal
ance in favor Of butter aud cheese alone ol
Sl260 per day or nearly S4O0 per month
This is the experience Of Mr.. W. l.. Hunt
of Rome, n Y, which he says is not a
fancy sketch, but is rather under than over
drawn He says this yield Of butter from
the night milk is fair average tor siG
months, May and June yielding more, aud
July and August may give less than this
The removal of this quantity Of butter does
not materially change the quantity or the
quality Of the subsequent product of the
milk. Rutland Globe.

WAGES IN EUROPE.

After reading such statements as the fol-
lowing, the wonder is, not that emigration is
not more rapid, but that so many people in
European countries manage to scraPe enough
money together with which TO seek more
profitable fields Of labor
"Sixty cents day il considered good
wages for working man 10 any OF the Euro
pean countries, except Great Britain, where
the wages are somewhat higher. ln the
Tyrol silk region aud in Italy, they often do
not get more than ten cents. In Sweden,
men often work from four O'Clock In the
morning till nine IN the evening, and do not
get any more.
" During the late war many poor women
in Berlin were hired to knit stockings for
the soldiers for FIVE cents. The profits OF the
poor who keep petty shops, sell trinkets in
the streets or act as suffers, do not average
more than three or four per cent. BARRIERS,
since the raising Of their prices, get five cents
for hair.cutting aud two aud a half cents for
shaving. Servants at hotels get from three
to eight dollars month. Servant girls in
private families often get but ten dollars a
year. Sometimes these classes cannot get
work at any price. "-Ex.

A REMEDY FOR BURNS.

Every good housewife knows the frequen-
cy Of burns and scalds, and their painful
and often alarming nature. There are many
old time remedies to relieve the pain and
burning sensation, of more or less value, but
none equal to pure glycerine. Applied to
the unbroken surface of burn or scald, it
instantly relieves the pain and effects
speedy cure The glycerine, being thick,
impenetrable fluid, effectually excludes,the
air, and being of soothing nature draws
the Inflammation and assists in healing the
wounded part.
Some years ago the writer chanced to fall
upon hot stove, burning and bruising the
face IN u serious manner. Glycerine was
applied and in short time the wound was
we'll, with no remaining scars to tell the tale
of the unfortunate occurrence.
A bottle of glycerine should be kept in
every house, for not only is it good for burns,
but there is no better application for chapped
hands, lips, &c. L. II. NORToN.

MARES AND EoALs.


Mares in foal should now be in good
flesh, certainly not at all thin, and by no
means weak. II bred regularly year alter year
they require generous keeping 10 order 10
maintain condition of constant robust
health, and to produce vigorous offspring.
AS they generally do service in farm work,
they require, and perhaps deserve, more
care at the hands of the owner than other
domestic animals, upon whose strength and
vital forces there is no such demand Dur
ing at least the latter half Of the period OF
CESSATION they should never, under any cir
cumstances. be overtasked nor strained at \
pull and toward the close of that period
they should be released from service alto
gether. Take off their shoes, give them the free
run of a pasture, feed generously, water reg
ularly, separate them from other stock, al.
low them access to shelter day and night at
pleasure, and never permit them to be tied
up. During stormy Or cold weather it is
best to confne them in loose, roomy boxes,
twelve by twenty feet or larger.
Thus fed aud cared for, the chances Of
mishaps or trouble of any kind to dam OF
offspring during parturition are very small
The careful breeder, while in no manner dis
turbing the quiet OF the mare under such
circumstances, will so far keep watch OF the
progress of affairs as to be early apprised Of
