To KEEP HAMS N SUAIMER.-The Ger
naantO'Cn Telegraph says: There are a
number of modes given to keep hams
through the warm season free from the
attacks of insects. Some bag them and
whitewash the bags, which is trouble
some and somewhat expensive; some
cover them with dry wood ashes and
pack them in barrels and cover thor
oughly with pine shavings; but We
think the best plan of all, and certainly
the least expensive with all who have a
smoke-house, and every farmer should
have good one, is to keep the hams
hung up in the smoke-house, which
should be kept perfectly DARK at all
times. We have eaten hams so kept
two years old, and they were among the
very best We ever tasted. Uniform
darkness is completeprotection against
the attack of insects.

Agricultural.

FEEDING CoLrs.-Many dams are such
poor mixers, that they do not yield the
foal nearly enough milk to supply his
evident wants. In such cases, tine
breeder must feed the young thing him.
self. Cows milk is good, when pre-
pared half blood-warm, and as sweet as
the foal will drink it. Three weeks
sfter birth, give some oatmeal, or
cracked oats soaked to tenderness In
water, or, better yet, in milk. Begin
with a handful or two, and increase as
the need is. If the mare is very poor
mixer, the colt may need two quarts
per day. The rule to govern this matter
is, Keep the fodl IN healthy gr0tcth.
As long as his stomach and bowels are
in good condition, and he not gaining
fat unnaturally, he is doing well. Moth
ing is so bad as to urlderfeed the colt !;
taking the land through, ten colts suffer
from want of needed food to one that
suffers from overplus of it. The first
two years of his life decide the colts
entire future. Then it is that the length
of his bones, the stomachic and intestl-
nal development, the quality of the skin
and coat, and the constitutional powers
and vigor, are decided. Feed your colt
well the first two years of his life. and
you cannot spoil him afterwards, COM
paratively speaking; starve him during
these years, and you can never make
good the lack thereby caused. The
country is full of horses that have been
ruined in this way. They are under
sized or i'll proportioned bigger at one
end than the other, ungainly and weak.
These are the animals that were COM
PEELED to ''pick up their living" in the
barn-yard with the cows and sheep, and
came out each spring lousy and hide
bound. While l would not feed corn to
a colt, 1 should give him all the oats
needed to keep him in healthy and
growing condition.

LAYING HESs.-Treat hens kindly if
you want them to lay eggs. A petted
hen is singing hen and a singing hen
is invariably laying one.
The housewife who feeds her flock of
a dozen petted fowls, out of her apron,
will have eggs to spare; when her
neighbor, who counts his hens by the
hundred, but pelts them about his pre-
mises with sticks and stones, and sets
the dog on them whenever he catches
them In the stables, viii not have eggs
for his own use. Avoid chasing or
frightening fowls; it Injuries them. If
you want any to kill, take them quietly
from the roost at night, and allow them
neither by fiutter or scream to disturb
the rest. If you do not want to kill
them the same evening, put them in
coop, or other suitable place, where
they can be had next morning without
further trouble.-LaRcdSter Farmer.

POTATO BUGs.-On the 10Th of July
last, Mr.. Michael Collins, while en-
gagged in digging potatoes on farm,
captured number of potato bugs, and
put them in an empty bottle, closing
the mouth to prevent their escape. He
placed the bottle by post on the
ground, making the remark that he
would ascertain ''how long the critters
would live, anyhow" The summer
passed away and the winter followed,
bringing no thought of the incarcerated
potato-bugs. Last week, in passing,
Mr.. Collins observed the bottle and
picked it up. 1t contained the intact
though motionless forms of the potato
top destroyers. In the caprice of the
moment, he took the bottle to the house
and held it over the fire. Immense was
his astonishment on perceiying the
bugs take to themselves legs and walk.
In few moments the interior of the
bottle was writhing mass of Colora-
does. Eight months without food,
exposed to the extremes of summer and
winter. and still living. This statement
is fully vouched for, and shows what
foe farmers and potatoes have to contend
against

DECORATION OF WooD.-The practice
is becoming more and more general,
among the European manufacturers of
furniture, in case of deficient color or
grain in the wood, to render its surface
varied and pleasing by calling in the
aid of water colors, that is, planting
thereon pigments of every desirable
variety, beauty and elegance before the
surfaces are submitted to the hands of
the polisher. The wood thus treated
should be of as hard a quality, and
with as little grain as possible, the chief
point being to have surface sufficiently
close to prevent the colors from spread
ing, as will be the case when the wood
is too absorbent, or the colors used are
too wet, nor should there be any such
dark markings or grain in the material
as will interfere with the design.
In carrying out this process of water
color decoration, the design is first
drawn in outline with pencil lightly,
in order that the surface may not be
impressed. The white parts are painted
on with Chinese white, the dark parts
with Indian ink and the shaded lines
WIFI sSpid- Lie ItLldluluS pOItlOus
are left untouched, unless the color of
the wood appears exceptionable, in
which case warm gray is regarded as
a suitable tint. If the black portions
are not uniformly and deeply black,
this part of the operation is repeated.
When, finally, the pigments are dry
and hard, the pencil-lines of the design
are retraced with Indian ink and fine
mathematical pen. The design being
thus completed, and hard and dry the
whole is then subjected to a polishing
so thorough that the polish will resist
effectually the action of moisture. which
penetrating to the coloring would soon
damage and eventually destroy it.

ACCORDING to Rochard, French vete-
rinary surgeon, a simple method of pre-
venting flies from annoying horses con-
sists in painting the inside of the ears,
or any other part especially troubled,
with few drops of empyreumatic oil
of juniper. 1t is said that the odor of
this substance is uncomfortable to flies,
and that they will keep at distance
from the parts SO annointed. If this
treatment should accomplish the alleged
result, it may perhaps be applicable in
repelling mosquitoes.

METAL CoNTAMISATIoN.- BenIa-
min Lee, Chairman of the Committee
of Epidemics, of the Philadelphia Medi-
cal Society, states that pound of but
ter placed in a safe lined with zinc, will
in two hours be so thoroughly impreg-
mated with the metal, that it can be per-
ceptibly tasted. If this is correct,
what is the effect of confning butter for
one or two days in a zinc.lined butter
tub? Fortunately, owing to the ten
dency of butter to adhere to it, zinc has
not come into general use for the pur-
pose of tubs and pans. The same
authority states that typhoid fever and
kindred diseases may be traced to the
contamination of milk. Those who are
familiar with the odor of our milk cars
during the warm weather, can Judge of
the liability to contamination during
its railroad transit. This question is
one fer further investigation on the
part of our scientists. The corrosion
of lead pipes by certain impurities in
water, is another of quite as much I'M
portance.
While we think the above somewhat
overstrained, we believe that it is IN the
main correct. Our dairymen do not
appreciate the facility with which butter
absorbs all odors with which it comes
in contact. Many who think they make
as good an article as any, do not appre-
ciate these little things, and iniure the
otherwise good product by exposing it
to contaminating odors.

THROUGH ALL THE AGES of study and
investigation which have marked the
path of scientific discovery, one especi-
ally alluring object has tempted the in
quiries and speculations of philoso-
pners. 1t is what the wizards and

India, soothsayers of Arabia, Magi of
Egypt, necromancers of Turkey and the
Orient, and alchemists of civilized Eu-
rope have sought, but sought in vain
a vegetable non poisonous Elirir, which
