BREAD OF BRowN OR GRAHAM FLOUR.
Measure one teacup of flour into the
pan the bread is to rise in, and on that
pour one quart of boiling water, and
let it cool until you can bear your finA
ger in il then add a dessert, spoonful
of salt, teaspoonful of brown sugar,
piece OF lard as large as a walnut
(the lard must be perfectly sweet and
NICE, two table-spoontuls good yeast,
and as much more flour as you can stir
i'll with a stick put III a warm place
to rise all night in the morning
grease well a cast-iron baking pan
(sheet-iron burns too readily pour the
risen dough into it, smooth it nicely
on the top bake in half an hours
time, Just one hour.
OFFENSIVE BREATH. From six to ten
drops of the concentrated solution OF
chloride of soda in a wine glassful of
pure spring water, taken Immediately
after the additions of the morning
are completed, will sweeten the breath
by disenfecting the stomach which,
far from being injured, will be benefit
ed by the medicine. If necessary, this
may be repeated in the middle of the
day. In some cases the odor from
cariOus teeth is combined with that or
the stomach. Ii the mouth is well
rinsed with teaspoonful of the solu
ton of the chloride in a tumbler Of
water the bad odor of the teeth will
be removed.
A USEFUL SoAP.-The following is
commended by those who have tried it
for scrubbing and cleansing painted
floors, washing dishes, and other
household purposes TaEe two pounds
of white olive soap and shave it III thin
slices add two ounces OF bOraA and
two quarts of cold water stir all to-
gether in stone or earthen jar, and
let it set upon the back of the stove
until the mass is dissolved. A very
little heat is required, as the liquid
need not simmer. When thoroughly
mixed and cooled, it becomes of the
consistency of thick jelly, and a piece
the size of cubic inch will make a
lather for a gallon of water.
DoUGHNUTs. Take about two quarts
light hop or potato yeast bread sponge;
NIX il well with one pint warm, new
milk, three beaten eggs, Il cup of but
ter or lard, one cup sugar, a great
spoonful of cinnamon a little salt,
add -four enough to knead it not very
stiff Set in a warm place. When
light, roll out little thicker than for
pie ernst, and cut with a knife in
squares of about three inches. Let it
stand little while, and fry IN boiling
lard. These will be very light.

weaned in December, the daily ration
at six months old would be one
and three-quarters or two pounds of
linseed cake, with the same quantity of
bean meal, and with sufficient
quantity of grains, mangel, hay. The
cake and neal are gradually increased,
till at twelve months old they
get twice the quantities just mentioned
In summer the other articles of diet
which have been named are replaced
by trifolium, or clover, which is excel.
lent food while it lasts tares, which
are also good, and grass with second
cut clover. The whole OF the green
food is cut and brought to the animals
in their sheds and houses, which they
do not quit till the proper period ar
rives for sending them to the butcher,
by which time their daily rations have
been increased to four pounds of cake
and six pounds of bean meal, with
roots and a moderate allowance OF hay.
The principle of management is to let
the animals continually master or out
grow their food, pushing them on rap
idly the last three months, so as to
land them fat at the desired haven at
something under two years old.-M y

THE MICROSCOPES.

Reached


Reached
The question as to the limit of capa
bility of the microscopei is INVESTIGATED
10y Professor Able, of Jena, in recent
number Of Max Scbultze's Archiv ano
he is LED by II series of physical deduc
TONS to the remarkable result, that
this limit is already as good as reached
by our best microscopes, and that all
nope OF deeper penetration INTO the
material constitution of things than
such microscopes now afford must be
dismissed. Experiment and theory
agree IN showing how the changes
wrought by difl'raction of light pass.
ing through fine structures, whose Gle.
ments are so small and near each other
as to call forth this phenomenon, are
such as to prevent the object being
imagined more ge0nletricO
Thus II may happen, on the other
hand, that different structures give the
same microscopical image, and, on the
other, that like structures give differ
ent images. Consequently, while OBJ
iects OF the kind (systems of fine lines
and the llke) may appear ever so dis
tinct and we'll marked in the micro
scope, we are not entitled to regard
such appearances as Of morphological
significance, but merely as physical
phenomena, from which nothing FUR
ther can certainly be inferred tLan the
presence of such structural conditions
as are capable of producing the diffrac-
tion effects obtained.
The'remark has notable applications
to many OF the microscopical research
es on markings Of dIatoms, aud on
striated muscular fibre. And it affects
not merely the morphological relations
of the objects, but the deductions,
made from microscoplcal observation,
as TO properties (such as differences of
transparency, colors. polarization, &c. J
The author laws down the following
principle as O basis for the determine
ton If limit: BY no microscope can
parts be distinguished Tor the marks
Merkmaie-of really present struc-
ture perceived) if they are so near to
each other that the first bundle OF
Hight rays produced by diflraciion can
no longer enter the objective simultan-
eousy with the undifracted cone of
light
Professor Able has also recently de-
scrlled a new Illuminating apparatus
for he microscope, formed of con-
densng system Of two unachromatic
lenses, which are fixed in the stage of
the microscope, and transmit the rays
from the mirror below; the purpose
being that the object Immediately
above the upper lens) may be illumi-
mated by Light from great many diff
ferelt directions. -N0tilre.

There were several mt Kaukaulo { now

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
nrc,crvins Alllk,

The American Artisan has an account
of q new process, the invention of Mr..
L. +. Krcholer, for preserving milk.
The object of this invention is to sub
iect milk to such Il treatment that,
without ALTERING its elements or taste,
and without the addition of any for
eign substance, it may be preserved in
its natural state for several months
without changing, except the rising of
cream, whether it is kept in a state of
rest or subject to constant movement,
as in sea voyages. III this object be
accomplished, the Invention is a most
important one, us condensed milk IS
not in favor with most people when
used directly as an article of food,
although it is excellent when used in
cookery, or for tea and coffee In Mr..
KiTchofer's process the milk, fresh
drawn from the COW, is placed in cans
or bottles, which are filed as nearly
full as possible, and Immediately
corked tightly or Dramatically sealed.
The cans or bottles are then placed
In bath of water, heated to the same
temperature as the milk, in such a
manner as to allow free circulation
of water beneath and around, but
never over them. The temperature Of
the water bath is thus slowly raised to
between 1909 and 1707 Fair. The
water is kept at this temperature for a
greater or less lcngth Of time, accord
ing to the period during which it is
desired TO preserve the milk. One
hour will, it is claimed, preserve the
milk four or five weeks. Five hours
heating is enough for eight months or
year.
The fire is then Withdrawn aud
the bath allowed to cool down slowly,
after which the cans are withdrawn
and the operation is completed. An
essential condition Of success is that
the vessels designed to contain the
milk should be perfectly clean and
sweet, and the milk itself pure and
unadulterated. II the temperature lie
raised above the degree indicated, the
milk acquires a cooked taste.

live clap boards, each about six inches
wide and thirty long, on two cleats,
two OF the blr5s covering the cracks
between the three others, in the style
of an ordinary board root. The cleats
are placed close enough together to
rest on the hive, raising the boards
from one to two inches above the top
OF the hive, An air passage is TINS
formed between the cover upon which
the rays of the sun fall, and the top of
the hive, which has no little effect in
reducing the temperature of the upper
part of the hive. One of the cleats /
make thicker than the other, to give TO
the cover pitch to run off the ram.
The cost of such a cover would not
exceed ten cents, and any one that can
drive nail can make one in five min
utes. The whole cover is light and
easily handled. When it is desirable
to open the hive, it can readily be
lifted of entire and laid on the ground,
or set up against the side of the hive,
and when the hive is closed it can as
easily be replaced
Such a cover not only defends the
bees against the heat of the sun, but
also affords very eflectual protection
Tor the hive against the weather. A
hive thus covered Will last and retain
its neat appearance about as long as it
would under an ordinary she'd or roof
