GERMAN TALLow PRoCEss-A great
improvement i'll the manufacture of
tallow, according to Leipsic journal,
is effected by the following process ::
One hundred parts of tallow are first
placed in one hundred parts of boiling
water, so that it may melt. A solution
of four parts of crystaliZed carbonate
OF soda in twenty parts of water Is then
added, and the mixture stirred, its
temperature being kept at the melting
point of tallow, until complete emul-
sion of the tallow is formed, when it is
heated to boiling, and, under continued
stirring, four hundred parts of water is
added. After settling, the aqueous
liquor is drawn off from beneath, the
tallOw collected, and again made into
an emulsion with one hundred parts of
water, and then washed with four hun
dred parts of boiling water. in order to
remove any carbonate of soda it may
retain.
The better kinds of tallow required
treatment in this way twice, others
three times /; for the second treatment,
two to four per cent. solution of the
carbonate of soda is employed, and, at
the third, two to three per cent. So
luton. 1t is afterwards simply washed
with water, or water with the addition
OF one per cent. hydrochloric acid, and
then with pure water. All the wash
ings are made with boiling water, and
the mixture is kept boiling for one
quarter of an hour, so as to expel the
volatile impurities. Distilled water is
also preferable for the purpose, or at
least, water that has been freed from
lime by carbonate of soda, 10 avoid the
formation OF lime soap.

FoR A simple pantagrsph Schnaus
suggests the use of fine rubber cord,
about fifteen inches long, supplied with
a loop at each end, and having on it a
small white bead, sliding upon it with
gentle friction. By securing one end
to the table by a pin and passing a
pencil through the other end, and
drawing its point over the paper with
the night hand, keeping the string
stretched, and causing the bead to de-
scribe the outline of simple drawing
placed beneath it, a tolerably good
copy of the drawing will be produced,
bearing any desired proportion 70 the
original, according to the position
given to the bead on the string thus,
if the bead is in the center of the cord,
the drawing will be double the size of
the original. The best results are only
obtainable after some practice, and by
employing a finer point than bead.

COOKING "GREENs. Every house
wife thinks she can cook ''greens." 1t
is the simplest of all dishes, and yet in
most cases they are not well served, for
much depends upon the manner in
which they are boiled. The water
should be soft, and tablespoonful of
salt added to a large sized pot of it,
which should be boiled hot when the
green's are thrown in; and then it
should be kept on the boiling gallop,
but uncovered until they are done,
which can be told by their sinking to
the bottom of the pot. and they should
be skinned out as quickly as possible,
into a colander. so that all the water
will run out. Press them with small
plate, then turn upon a small platter,
add large piece of butter, and cut up
fine. Serve while smoking hot.

CoNsTTPATIoN.-Many feeble people
and invalids who are troubled with
constipation of the bowels may be per-
manently benefited by using a very
little of the common tincture of nux
vomica. A druggist will give half an
ounce for five cents; then put two
drops into about half an ounce of cold
water, and keep it for use. Each day
when it is needed, put one drop into
part of tumbler of cold water and
drink it all; several times during the
dry. Do not take any more than this
in one day but it may be continued
each day until permanently cured.
Graham bread and vegetable diet are
a grea. help for this trouble; but they
are not agreeable to some peoples
tastes, and are not easily obtained by
many who know that they might be
benefited by them.

PRESERVING CUT FLOWERS flow
ers in vases will keep much longer if
the vases are filled with white sand and
with water enough barely to cover it,
or rather to keep it thoroughly wet.
Water by itself rots the stems, so that
they lose the power of drawing up
moisture but this does not occur so
readily where they are thrust into wet
sand. The sand should be washed by
having water poured on it and drained
off, before use; otherwise the salt
which ali sea-sand contains will prove
injurious. As wet sand is an unhandy
thing to put into vases, it is well to
have it washed and dry beforehead.

THAT diseases like yellow fever,
typhoid fever, fever and ague, con-
sumption, ETC., are more common in
certain defined regions, and that some
of these are confined within given belts
of low, moist countries, and that they
are comparatively unknown in certain
dry, elevated plateaus, situated at from
5000 to 10, 900 feet above the surface of
the ocean, proves that emanations pro-

APPEARANCE OF MILK UNDER THE
MIcRosooPE.-Ane exchange says: The
number and appearance of the butter
globules, when viewed with the micro
scope, distinguish the various qualities
of milk. In sweet milk they are
numerous and crowded together; by
the gathering of these butter globules
together, cream is formed on the sur
face of the milk. After butter has been
made from the milk a certain amount
Of the butter globules still remain in
it. Boussiugault's experiments show
that one-fourth part of the entire
mount of butter remains in the butter
milk. Skim milk contains less butter
than buttermi k; the latter is therefore
often adultersted with the former, but
this admixture of skim milk may be
detected with the microscope. A good
cream contains thirty-seven to forty
per cent. of butter.

PURE WATER For ANIMALS One
reason why epedemics among cattle,
hogs, and horses are so common and
fatal, is because they do not have pure
water. As the country grows older and
is more extensively settled, the streams
are more likely to be polluted with ex-
crement from decaying organisms and
this taken into the blood of animals is
sure to breed diseased conditions.
Once such epidemics were common
among men. and swept off large part
of the race. Now. by wise hygiene
most of them are avoided. The cattle
and horse plague Will some day be got
rid of by hygiene-never by AM. other
means.

ASHES As FooD For CATTLE
Lire Stock Journal has a correspon-
dent who found his cattle given to the
habit of eating wood, chewing bones,
etc. They became thin in flesh. re-
fused to eat hav, and presented a sickly
appearance. He had no impression
that their food lacked the constituents
of making bone and his neighbors
used one meal without noticing any
good results whatever. At last he put
about four bushels of lesched ashes in
his bam-yard and threw ont a shovel
ful each day.
They all ate with evident relish. AT
ter turning them out to pasture, he put
one peck of dry ashes per week on the
ground in the pasture. They ate it all
and gnawed off the grass where it had
been lying. The cattle began to i'm
prove, gaining flesh and looking better
than they had done for several years.
He says this morbid appearance was
unnoticed years ago, from the fact that
the ground was new and ashy from the
burning of the woods and land clear
ings. Since this discovery he gives one
quart of ashes mixed with one quart of
salt to twelve head of cattle about once
a week.

BONE AS MANURE.-The bones of all
animal creation are composed of three
substances phosphoric acid, lime, and
gelatin or glue-three of the best fer
tilizing substances to produce good
seed. But where do the bones of ami
mails come from? Certainly from the
soil, through the grass, hay, grain, &c,
consumed as food. Therefore every
horse, bullock, COW, sheep and hog
sent off the farm without returning
a like quantity of bone to the earth,
causes our land to yield less and less
every year, till the land becomes what
is termed lcOrn ont. Besides, every
load of hay and every bushel of grain
sold off the farm carries away the same
material, as it is the hay and grain that
make the bones of our cattle, horses,
etc.
Five per cent. OF all plants are com
posed of ten mineral substances of
which bone forms a large part and
which comes directly from the earth,
while the fat of animals is composed of
carbon, oxygen and hydrogen, three of
the gases that plants take exclusively
from the air, in the form of carbonic
acid and water, and which constituted
about 81 per cent. of all plants.

tobacco-water destroyed the vermin a.

mixture of lard and kerosene oil to COM
pletely destroy lice, both upon poultry
and calves, without any injury to the
animals whatever. Kerosene oil alone
will severely injure the skin.
