SoFT Soar AND VINEGAR FOR THE
HANDs.-A correspondent says: Our
men In the shop use soft soap to re-
move the grease and dirt from their
hands when they quit work. This, they
find, causes cracks to come but If they
dip them in vinegar just after washing
with soft soap, their hands will remain
soft and smooth, and any cracks on the
hands will Immediately heal up. In
the ordinary careless manufacture of
soft soap, there is apt to be sometimes
an excess of alkali or I've above that
necessary for complete sappnlticatlon.
This has caustIc action on the skin,
making it rough and otherwise inluring
1t. After using soap of this kind, wash
ing III vinegar removes the excess OF
alkali from the hands Vinegar, being
an acid, combines with the alkali, form
ing a neutral and soluble salt
INDELIBLE INKs.-The cheapest ma
terial for marking linen, is coal tar, di-
luted with benzine to the proper con-
sistency. Another inexpensive pre-
scription is to place iron or old nails in
strong vinegar let them stand many
days, and filter the liquid. Another
way is to take equal quantities of YER
million and copperas, and rub them up
with oil varnish, The first and last
preparations have to be used with fine
brush ; the second with a common pen.

Profitable Tree Planting.

It has been feared that Peruvian
bark, from which the various prepare
tions of quinine are made, would be-
come so nearly extinct as to be no long
er procurable for medicine. Some
years since, the cultivation of the en-
chona was taken up by the British
Government in India. AS one of the
results of this planting, the Chemist
and Druggist says that, at a recent sale
i'll Mincing Lane, lot of messed crown
bark, from the Nilghera plantation,
fetched the prodigious priceof IS. Cd. a
pound Altogether, 23,645 pounds of
Nilgheri cinchona bark was sold on this
occasion, and the total sum realized
was 1880, the average price fetched
being about Is. 10d. a pound-a very
high average. The total cost of the
introduction of the cinchona into
India, including the cost of Mr.. Mark
hams expedition to Peru and India,
has from first to last been f7O,00O and
the annual sales now realize a net profit
of from $4,000 $4,000 a year. The
experiment suggested by Sir George
Clark, and carried out by Mr.. Mark
ham, has therefore proved an assured
and splendid success.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Testing seeds.

Now that spring and the planting
season are approaching, 1T is often i'm
portant to test the vitality of seeds
before sowing them. We have heard
the following simple and easy method
described Fill box, pan or flower
pot partly with rich mellow earth,
make the upper surface perfectly smooth
and on this surface draw straight cross
lines, and drop a seed at each intersec-
ton, so that they may easily counted.
Then take a wide hoop or frame, and
make g bottom to it with cloth stretch
ed across so as to resemble a sieve.
Place this upon the seed, and fill it with
enough fine mould to form a sufficient
covering for the seed which should
generally be four or five times the
diameter Of the seed for the depth.
Keep the soil sufficiently moist and in
a warm place The sieve can be easily
lifted and the seeds examined without
disturbing them In this way corn,
wheat, clover seed, turnip seed, and
many other kinds can be easily tested,
which may be of considerable impor-
lance, where the age or freshness of
the seed Is not certainly known.

Setting Milk.

Mr.. Ezra Kitchener of Bucks County,
Pa. has been making a few expert
ments in setting milk, (which he reports
10 the Intelligencer. He commenced
his experiments IN August, 1868, the
milk being thoroughly mixed in every
case In large kettles, then weighed, and
half set in each manner.
First Experiment-One half themilk

cans the balance set IN pans in the

was from nine to twelveinches indepth,
the cans seven inches in diameter. This
was continued for one week, and the
result was. in the deep cans, 14pounds !;

shallow cans, Is lbs. OF.
The next experiments were under the
direction of the Solebury Farmers
Club. and took place in March, 1872.
One days milk was carefully mixed and
weighed as above, and set eight inches
deep IN cans eleven inches IN diameter,
and three inches deep in ordinary pans

water and cooled TO sixty degrees,

Nv Old Straw Hat.

] love il. love it, and what of that
Who'll chIde me for loving that old straw hat -?
I've gazed on it oft with unspeakable pleasure;
I've preserved IT long sacred treasure;
I've guarded it long with tender care;
Twas the gift OF a maiden SO loved and fair
Her ringers have woven each delicate plat.
And sacred thing i that old straw hat
I love It | love II. and who will say
That l should now cast that old hat away?
II hath circled my head where the sea-wnds blow,
1t hath shielded my hair from the mountain snow
From the MONDAY sun II hath sheltered my brow,
And think ye when old III desert it now?
IN sunshine and Storm and III wintry weather,
That old hat and have been friends together.
ID cling to it foudIy yet many day,
Til my eyes grow dim and my locks are gray;
And when deaths cold shaft TO my bosom hath sped
u shall moulder, unseen III my earth-bound bed.
II tells me that life's parting sands run fast
That earth's choicest gifts not long can last
And JOY that lesson so pure as that
May be Cleaned from the fate of my old straw hat.

way she makes it
1.-The cows are allowed to run the
hillside pastures at will through the
day, cropping the sweetest mlorsels of
grass and white clover, and drinking
from the pure mountain streams. or
lingering at midday by the shaded
brook. At night they come gently to
their barn home, and are fed with a
mixture of corn meal and wheat shorts,
and abundantly supplied with water
from mountain spring, then MIXED
carefully and quietly, after which they
rest. The milk is strained into shallow
pans of about three quarts each, stand
ing on an open frame IN a cool room,
where the air can circulate freely.
In the morning the process of feeding
and milking is repeated, and the cows
goagaln to their pasture. The mornings
milk is strained as before, but put in
separate room, SO that the heat of the
new milk shall not sour the nights
milk After the milk has stood 81 hours
the cream is taken off, and placed where
the temperature is low or on ice. When
enough has been collected for churning,
the cream is put into tin dash churn,
and agitated gently. If the tempera-
ture Is about go : it will make butter
very soon, otherwise it must be cooled
or warmed as the case requires.
The tray, ladle, and all the utensils
needed, are wet with scalding water and
then cooled. The butter is taken from
the churn into clear spring water, in
which a little salt has been dissolved,
and o,oled with Jumps of ice The
ladle is used freely, in bringing every
part of the butter in contact with the
water. Then the sailing is done, by
adding a small cupful of salt to every
four pounds of butter, and mixing it
well with the ladle, after which the
butter is set away in cool place for a
few hours. The second working with
the ladle is final Then the butter is
weighed and rolled into one or two
pound Jumps and set on plates in the
cellar on a zinc floor, and covered with
tin pans, where it remains until packed
in ice and ready for market. About
1900 lbs. of butter are thus made here
