DRY PLATE PHOTOGRAPHY WITH GE-
LATN.-Place seven grains OF Nelson's
gelatin and seven grains Of isinglass IN
cold water for several hours until soft
and swollen then drain of the water,
and put them into two ounce bottle,
which place in hot water until the
gelatin and isinglass are dissolved.
Add thirteen grains of bromide OF pot
tassium, dissolved in dram OF distilled
water and in another dram OF distilled
water dissolve fourteen grains OF nitrate
of silver, and add it by degrees, in the
dark, shaking well between each addi-
ton. Now add half dram of satu-
rated solution of nitrate of baryta, and
two drops of muriatic acid. There will
be froth on the top of this emulsion
from the shaking, and in order to get
rid of this it may be strained through
muslin or, if left in the hot water, il
will gradually subside.
This will form sufficient emulsion, al
a cost of about two-pence, to coat over
coated, should be laid on fiat surface
until the film sets, which will take
about five or ten minutes, when they
can be put away in box to dry. The
drying will take about forty weight hours
unless they are placed in a current OF
dry air., or they may be exposed al
once. An exposure of thirty seconds,
with alkaline developer, should give q
negative of sufficient printing density
without any intensifying. The plates
should be placed in cold water fol
about a minute previous to developing.
Emulsions prepared with the silver
in excess caused the plates almos,
surely to fog, and the image to be very
! thin and faint.

HERE is an anecdote of Sir Edwin
Landseer, from a London exchange: ::
A friend accompanied him to the Ken
sington Museum on the first occasion
of its exhibition by gas-light. Land
seer stopped short before his large pic
ture, "a Visit to Waterloo" 81 must
have been mad," said he, "when 1
painted that" And, walking up to the
picture, he placed his hand over the
part which had attracted his criticism.
An attendant policeman shouted his
polite caution, "Now, then, take yer
'ands off therel" "My good man, said
Sir Edwin, 81 was merely remarking
how bad that was." "Then, why don't
yer go and do better?" said Bobby.
who had no idea to whom he was speak
ing. "Quite right! quite right l
should do better. am ashamed of
it :" returned Sir Edwin.

How TO Cook CRANBERRIEs.-Only
one hint to the ladies may be necessary
and that is, buy only red cranberries.
They alone are ripe, and few white
berries, with their bitter acid, will as
effectually demoralize a dish Of sauce
as, according to Josh Billings, one en-
thusiastic hornet will disperse camp
meeting.
Remove all defective berries, and
wash the rest through several waters.
To every pound of fruit add pound of
sugar. Put them into q preserving
kettle over a fire; stew slowly. To pre-
vent the berries from sticking to the
kettle stir them frequently with silver
spoon. When done, turn them into a
deep dish, and set them aside to cool;
after which they may be used for pies,
tarts, or sauce.

RED AND WHITE MUsCLEs.-It is said
that the red and white muscles of a
body,-very clearly seen by removing
the skin of a rabbit - which exist
mingled in the same region, are differ
ent both in structure and properties.
On applying the electric current, the
white portions contract almost instantly,
and respond even to rapid and continu-
ous shocks. The red portions on the
contrary, are much more sluggish it
requires a certain time for them, appar-
emily, to feel the excitement, while, on
quick interrupted discharges of electri-
city being administered, they simply
assume permanent contraction. 1t is
believed by the author that the latter
are involuntary and of the nature of
the muscles of the heart or other por-
tions relating to the animal existence !;
the former, however, he thinks, are
controlled by the will.

YELLOW FEVER AND ELEcTRICTTY.-A
correspondent writing from Fayette,
Mississippi, to the Scientific American
gives curious succession of observed
facts, which may lead to a clearer un-
derstanding of the conditions under
which yellow fever is generated, and as
a consequence to new methods of pre-
venting or curing the disease. He says
that prior to the breaking ont of the
fever, and during the prevalence of the
epidemic the rains are unaccompanied
by lightning and thunder, which in
other seasons are common. There was
only one peal of thun1er heard in his
county between the middle of Septem-
Der and the latter part of October. In
1855, at school celebration, sufficient
amount of electricity could not be gene
rated to perform the simplest expert
ment with the electrical apparatus, and
shortly thereafter the yellow fever broke
out and ragged terribly. The writer
draws the conclusion from these facts,
that the prevalence of yellow fever is
dependent upon the electrical condition
Of the atmosphere, and suggests that
science may be made to supply the
necessary conditions to public health.

CHEESE MADE PROM A SMALL DAIRY
A way of making easily with three or
four COWS, q cheese that will weigh ten
or fifteen pounds. Take milk that is
sweet-do not remove much of the cream
from the nights milk-then warm it so
that it shall be of the same temperature
as the mornings milk fresh from the
COWS, and mix nights and mornings S
milk together. A piece of calf's rennet
should be soaked in half pint of water
over night; put one-half or more into
the milk, adding more if not sufficient.
After it turns, take your ladle or knife
and cut through and through, dividing
the curd into small squares. When the
whey separates, pour il all off, and then
take boiling water and pour over the
curd let it stand ten minutes-this is
to give it toughness and prevent its
being 'crumbly.' Now let it stand until
entirely cold, all the water having been
drained off.
When cold, chop it fine, salt it to the
taste, and put it into the press, pressing
it moderately for three hours then
take it out and turn it press three
hours more and then turn again and
place on a clean shelf, rub little butter
over it and turn each day.
PRICES OF LIVE AND DRESSED POULTRY.
1t is sometimes convenient to know
what price per pound for poultry, live
weight, is equivalent to q given price,
dressed weight. Preparing for market
will cost about eight cents for each fowl,
when labor of the usual quality is en-
ployed, and a considerable number of
fowls butchered at time. Making
that allowance for dressing, and leaving
out fractions, the relative prices in
cents Of live and dressed weights are as
follows:
Juniata sentinel and Republican. [volume] (Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa.) 1873-1955, 1874-01-21

The rate of shrinkage in dressing
varies with the breed, age, and degree
Of fatness of the fowls, but the above is
substantially correct.

Potash FROM CoKN CoBs.-Dr. Her
bert Hazard suggests the use of corn
cobs for supplying potash, the ordinary
sources of which are rapidly failing.
He states that the average yield Of
corn-cobs is 1852 parts of carbonate of
potash in /, 900 parts of the cobs, which
is nearly twice as much as the best spe-
cimens Of wood furnish. The present
corn-crop of this country will supply
10, 400, 600 900 lbs. of cobs, from which
l15. 500. 600 lbs. of potash can easily be
manufactured.

ApuLTERAT1oN OF TEA IN ENGLAND
The London Globe, in an article on the
above topic, says that the ill effects,
often attributed to tea drinking, in the
majority of cases are not due to tie
properties Of the leaf itself. Adultera-
tion has become so common that out of
lsS, ,OOO,0 pounds which passed
through the British Custom House in
1872, during the month of July alone a
Sanitary Commission found 10000, 900
pounds utterly unfit for human con-
sumption. In a single chest q magnet
brought out 43 per cent. of the whole
in bits Of iron, colored green. This
Wholesale rascality is done by the

Poison IN ZISC MILK PAILs.-The
question of the use of zinc for dairy
utensils is becoming quite serious one
in consideration of the new light thrown
on its use by the medical fraternity.
The committee on Epidemic diseases,
Of the Philadelphia Medical Society, is
our authority for the statement that a
pound of butter placed in zinc-lined
safe, will in two hours become so thor
oughly impregnated with zinc that it
can be perceptibly tasted. This, if
supported, is of importance when taken
in connection with tue statement of
other medical men, that the rapid in
crease Of paralysis is due 10 the salts of
lead and zinc which are in various ways
absorbed into the system. II will not
be hard for us to give up the use Of zinc
about the dairy, for We never could see
any good reason for using it, especially
where butter would come in contact
with it, for it will adhere much more
than it does to timed iron. The matter
is Of sufficient importance to warrant a
more thorough investigation, which we
have no doubt it will receive. Ii one
half of what is charged by the committee
be true, we shall bid zinc lasting, but
not q sorrowful farewell, so far as dairy
matters are concerned.-Jovrnai ot the

WHAT WE SHOULD EAT.-Those who
expect to think, should not eat much
food which simply produces warmth and
fat, such as ham, fat pork, white bread,
butter, rice. tapioca and starch. These
contain very little phosphate food being
carbonaceous.
The proper food for laboring men
We mean those who have to exercise
muscular strength chiefy-should be
that which contains the greatest amount
of nitrogen. Among these barley and
cheese stand high. The red flesh of
the OK or sheep, and bolted bread, are
the leading articles. Men who train
prize-fghters seem to understand much
better than others how to build up ply
sical strength and endurance. When
their battle or their race is ended, they
lay aside their unbolted bread and fruit,
their lean beef and mutton, and fall
into their old habits of liquor-drinking
and eating of starch-bearing articles,
such as rice, fine bread, pudding, with
fat meat and butter, and they soon be-
come as fat and lazy as these csrbona-
ceous articles can make them.

FRoLIcsoME.-"Just such weather as

stills new life and animation in a man,
and is apt to make him frolicsome. 1t
stimulates him to racing, jumping up

feeling good generally. 1t so stimulated
one of our merchants on Friday evening,
and led him to invite his wife to catch
him before he got around to the back
stoop. He started on smart run, and
she bore down after him at creditable
speed. He tore around the corner very
much in earnest, and stepping on a
piece of ice, SWING from his foothold
and went careening across ten feet of
frozen ground, and brought up with
considerable force against pear tree

shouts of victory as he struggled madly
to his feet and besought her not to

A NEW WAY OF OBTAINING FLoUR.-
A revolution is likely soon to take place
in the process of fiour-makiDg. 1t has
just been started in England. The
grain is crushed by numerous little trip
hammers, attached to the proper ma
chinery to produce the result desired.
The new machinery is very cheap, and
does up its work in thorough manner.
The -four produced is said to be far
superior to that obtained by grinding.
A pounding mill, costing 81, 600, will
produce as much -four every day as an
old-fasbioned mill, costing 6, 900. The
new mill is very simple. When a ham,
mer is out Of order, it can be replaced
for q few cents. For four Thousand
years millers have produced -four by
grinding the grain with stones. The
new idea gives a new departure. What
results ii will soon produce in this
country remain to be seen.
MnK.--Milk for rbutter-makings should
be handled gently and put at rest as
soon as possible. A reduction of tenn
persture is desirable as soon as the milk
10 drawn. This should be effected with
the least possible amount of stirring.
The more it is stirred the less will be
the yield of cream. When set, it should
be protected from even the least jar.
Churning in milk-room, or any work
that jars the building. will retard the
rising Of the cream. Milk, to get the
best yield of cream, requires absolute
and undisturbed rest.
