A New WEATHER VANE.-The old
weathercock has three essential faults !;
it indicates a direction when there is a
dead calm, it gives no means of learning
the force of the wind, while it fails to
show the true course of the same, by
exhibiting merely its horizontal COM
ponent. 1t is proposed the arrangement
to be attached to the ordinary lightning
rod. Just above a suitable shoulder on
the latter is placed a copper ring,
grooved and made into a pulley easily
rotated in horizontal plane. Around
this passes a knotted cord, the ends of
which are secured to the extremities of
a short stick or metal rod, to which is
secured simple streamer. Thus con-
structed the vane indicates a calm by
falling vertically, and besides shows the
strength of the wind by being blown
out more or less from the lightning rod.
As is evident, it is capable of motion in
every direction, so that if there exist in
the wind an upward tending vertical
component, the same Will be shown.

AMERICAN WoMEN.-It is melancholy
fact, that American women have degen-
Grated in point of health and physique,
until they have become literally a race
of invalids. How sad it is to look around
us and compare the frail and effeminate
looking lady of to-day with the hale.
hearty and buxom ladies of days gone
by. To all such the late discovery of
DIR. WALKER, of California, which is
known as VINEGAR BrrrERs, is price
less boon indeed. For this class of dis
eases it is certain and safe, and any
lady, old or young, can take it with en-
tire confidence in the result, and thus
avoid what to thousands is a stumbling
block never overcome, VIA consulta-
ton with family physician. 'Tis true
there may be cases of years standing,
that will necessitate more powerful
treatment, but in nine cases out of ten
this remedy will reach the disease, and
after a little time effect a cure. The
number of ladies cured by it are num-
bered by thousands, and are scattered
through every State in the Union. 26

LENTIL SoUP.-The lentil is the seed
of vine belonging to the Leguminosa.
1t resembles a fat green pea in color
and shape and taste. 1t is quite eata-
BILE when boiled and seasoned like beans,
but its principal use is for thickening
soups, especially by the Germans. In
making lentil soup, the grains should
be stewed gently in pure water four
hours, or until they mash readily, using
pint for two quarts of soup. Rub
through colander or coarse sieve, re-
turn to the fire, salt, and, if wished
thicker, rub some wheat meal in water,
and add to the taste.
Wheat meal Graham -four is much
richer and better for thickening soups
than white flour, corn starch, or any of
those imperfect substances. Cook it,
after the meal is added, from five to ten
minutes, being careful not to let it burn.
Simmering is quite as effective as fierce
boiling.

DELIcATELY DoNE.-The Chattanooga
Times gives a narrative embodying the
following: 'There was something of a
delicate and private nature going for
ward about the house visible to the
commonest observer. But love and its
devotees are proverbially blind. So he
stayed and stayed until late in the even
ing, when one of our prominent physi-
clans stepped from another room into
the parlor where the youth and eldest
daughter of the house were billing and
cooing, and blurted out: We'll, young
man, if you're done courting you can
have turn at nursing to get your hand
in. There's another very young girl in
the next room"

THE BEST LABEL.-At present the best
as well as the cheapest label is zinc,
with copper or brass wire, and the name
written with a common lead pencil. l
have such now in my orchards, some
two TO three years old, that are as
legible to-day as when first hung on the
trees. All that is necessary when con-
sulting these marks is to merely apply
a little moisture to the surface, and the
writing becomes at once black, and is
readily deciphered. There is some
danger in the wires rubbing out the
hole in the label. ! obviate this par
tally by punching the hole in the Gen.
ter of the label, which prevents an ex-
cess of swaying in the wind. Labels
for small fruits or plants must receive
two good coats of paint. and then dip
them in pot of hot gas-tar, about as
deep as they should go in the soil.
When ready for use, apply thin coat
of paint over the side intended to be
written upon, and while fresh, with the
aid of rather hard lead pencil, write
the name. We thus have a distinguish
ing mark that will not decay under the
soil for at least ten years, and will with
stand the action of the weather for very
nearly as long. The ordinary wire label
attached to trees that have been pro-
cured from the nurseries, will in short
time "cut in" through the bark of the
trunk or branch to which it is fastened,
and thus soon destroy the same; there
fore always remove these at once, and
replace with the zinc label aforesaid,
being careful at the same time to allow
pleuty of room for the branch to expand
before the wire shall clasp it tightly.

How To TAKE CARE OF A LAWN MOWER.
This is question that is often asked
by owners of lawn mowers. There are
few simple rules necessary to be fol-
lowed in using lawn mowers, which /
give as follows:
First. The lawn should be kept free
from stones and such other rubbish as
would tend to iniure the knives.
Second. The grass should be cut
often, and never be allowed to get over
four inches in length (three is better.
This makes the work of cutting easy,
and avoids straining or breaking the
machine.
Third The mower should be well
oiled and kept clean. This is a very
important item, as l have seen many
good lawn mowers condemned and
thrown aside when all they needed was
cleaning and Oiling.
Fourth. Care should be observed in
starting the mower, especially a horse
mower. A mower land all other ma
chinery having a rapid notion should
not be started too suddenly; for a
sudden start is liable to break the
ratchet, gears, or other parts of the
machine.
Fifth. Care should be taken to keep
the wiper properly adjusted to the bot
tom knife. The wiper, or revolving
cutter, should be adjusted so as to
lightly touch the head knife. If this
rule is observed the knives viii rarely
if ever need sharpening.
The above rules are simply and easily
TO be understood if followed, the work
of moving a lawn with one of our
modern lawn mowers) would be light /;
an immense amount of trouble and
expense would be saved, and we would
become as noted for our beautiful and
well-kept lawns, in a few years, as
England now is.-Cor. Of Rural Ne,0

THE REASON WHr.-Why does boiling

IHE REASON WHY WNy uOtS OOtttfty
fast render meat hard
Because the excessive action of heat
causes the albumen of the meat to set
sogid, crisps up the feshy fbres, and
prevents heat having gradual access
to the interior.
Uhy, tChen good soup or broth is
required. should the meat be put into
cold 1CGters
Because, as the heat is developed very
gradually, there occurs an intermixture
between the juices Of The flesh and the
external Oater. The soluble and savory
parts of the meat escape and enrich the
soup.
Why are ste,os generally healdfm
and digestibLe
Because, being compounds OF various
substances, they contain all the elements
Of nutrition, and, as the Office of the
stomach is to liquify solid food before
digesting it, the previous stewing assists
the stomach in this particular.
What causes the cracking noise when
lard is put into a a.frying-pan ?
Lard always contains some portion
of ,cater, and It is the expansion of this
water into steam, forcingi its way through
the fat which causes the cracking noise.
The heat at which fat or oil boils is
much greater than that of water. When
the cracking ceases, the water has been
driven off from the fat, and when the
fat begins subsequently to boil or bub-
BILE, its heat will be very high.
Why in frying fish should the fat or
oil be made rery hot before the fish is
put in?
Because if the temperature is low
when the fish is put into the frying pan,
It becomes sodCien an the steam formed
by its own water; but if the oil be very
much heated the water will be at once
driven off, and the fish nicely Drowned
: by the scorching oil
Why should fish or meat that is being
tried be frequently tuTned9
Because the turning assists the eva
poration of the water. When the fish
or meat is allowed to lie too long, steam,
is generated under Il, and the substance
becomes sodden and the moment the
steam is driven off, the surface catches
to the hot pan, and becomes burnt and
broken.
Why is Jroiled meat so juicy and
sGUOry.
Because the action of the fire, harden
ing its surface, seals up the pores
through IUIich hejuices might escape.
1t acts in the same way that the sudden
dip into boiling water does upon joints
of meat, but more effectually. To turn
broiling meat never use a fork, but
tongs; fork opens an escape for the
juice, and wastes the best part af the
meat.
Why iscabbage rendered more ,ohOle-
some and nutritious By being boiled IN
tlCO lC0ters
Because cabbages contain an essential
oil, which is apt to produce bad effects
and they should be boiled in two sue
cessive waters, till they are soft and di-
gestible.

The receipt for making pound of
butter from pint of milk is as follows:
Take 4 ounces pulyerized alum, | ounce
pulverized gum-arabic, and 80 grains
of pepsin, placed in bottle for use as
wanted. A teaspoonful added to the
pint of milk will, upon churning, make
o pound of butter. 1t is true that the
butter will seem to be a near relation
to pot-cheese, but call it butter, and
that makes it so.

SKILL N EyGINEEREG.-The remark
able accuracy of the engineers calcula-
tions in the building of the Hoosac
tunnel were shown and were mentioned
when the eastern excavations and those
made frum the central shaft met, year
ago. The error in alignment was then
only seven-sixteenths of an inch, and
the error in grade was but one inch and
a quarter. The difference between the
alignment and grade of the western ex-
cavations and those previously made, as
found last week, when the tunnel was
completed, were somewhat greater, but
so small as to be insignificant. The
error of alignment was nine-sixteenths
of an inch, and the error of grade one
inch and half The result is wonder
full, when it is considered that these
lines were laid out for miles under
ground, without other aid than that
furnished by the splendid instruments
now made by our mechanicians, the
skill of the accomplished engineer, and
the "exact science" of mathematics.
All else was in the dark, for this tunnel
road, which came out within a fraction
of an inch of the right place, was laid
out literally in ''the bowels of the
earth.

Agricultural.

TIMELY SUGGEsTIoNs.-In the every
day duties of life the first care OF the
humane man viii be for his animals,
which should have warm, ,well-ventilated
conveniently-constIucted stables. The
latter will save much time and labor,
and as to the former, warmth and
proper ventilation are but other names
for food and life. The animal not well
fed literally lives, in part, on its own
fat, and if it should survive the winter,
the poor starved creature takes all
summer to restore condition." in the
main, then, it may be said, give the
animals warmth, good air, liberal
supply of food, and enough of pure
water. After all that has been said and
done about the care OF animals, the
wholesome facts we now speak OF can
not be too forcibly urged.
Cut Food is more conveniently fed
than that which is not. We have a dog
and dog-power by which the hay is cut
for quite a number of animals. 1t is
not that chatting hay, straw, &C., and
steaming certain kinds of food, add to
its nutritive value so much as that 1t
renders it easily assimilated by the di-
gestive system; let cows giving milk
be fed with view to milk and butter.
Horses should be fed according to
their work, but let them be well
groomed. Hay and oats, with now and
then feed of carrots, are, in our opin-
ion, the best general food for horses.
When thus fed, they thrive better than
when fed on hay and oats alone, probably
not so much on account of the nutri-
ment in the carrots as upon its kind and
influence in causing a wholesome appro-
priation of the other food. Such is the
result of experience.
Swine for breeding purposes should
be kept clean, warm, in a healthy grow
ing condition, but not fat. Fattening
swine must be pushed forward, " and
especially for home use should be
finished" with peas and oats, which
viii make the flesh solid and transpar-
ent. Some lovers of good bacon know
this. Indian corn is too oily to lay the
foundation for solid, transparent, beau
tiful bacon. Oh delicious theme but
We have no room for it now.
A hog without profit, We imagine, like
the "lord of creation" lives with little
pleasure to himself or profit to any body
else. Sell him or kill him. 1t won't
pay to keep him.

ORCHARDs.-To plant an orchard, We
should take an ordinary good piece of
ground, that would grow well any of
the cereal crops, and after manuring it
very well all over the ground, take off
crop of potatoes. After the potatoes
are out put in with either rye or wheat,
sowing grass seed with the grain. After
the grain is cut the following fall, plant
the trees at whatever distance may be
agreed upon, in the rye stubble. No
large holes or deep holes are needed
just large enough to get the roots in
without cramping will do. Sow clover
in March or April of the folio wing
spring, and roll. The whole expense of
planting an orchard, in this way, need
not be more than five dollars per acre.
