With every fifteen bushels of corn and

one bushel of flaxseed. This improves
the quality of the feed for animals OF
any kind, as ground faxseed, when
mingled with grain, is far better for
milch cows, for horses, for fattening
young sheep, or for young stock of any
kind, than all meal. L sow little flax
seed every year for the purpose of hav-

1t is well known that the character
of pure milk differs sometimes on the
same farm and among the same breed
of cattle, and there seems to be no ac-
counting for it; but the true standard
of milk is set down by the best authority
at 3.16 per centage Of fat and 9.65 Of
other solids.

To KEEP OUT THE DRAFT.-When
blinds and doors do not close snugly,
but leave cracks through which drafts
enter, the esimplestremedy recommended
by Mr.. Schuetse, Building Commits
sioner in Dresden, Germany, is this
Place strip of putty all along the
jambs, cover the edge of the blind or
door with chalk, and shut it. The putty
will then fill all spaces which would re-
main open and be pressed where it is
not needed, while the excess is removed
with knife. The chalk rubbed on the
edges prevents the adhesion of the putty
to the blind or door, which then can be
opened without adhesion, and the putty
Is left i'm place, where it Soon dries and
leaves perfectly-fitting jamb.

To PRESERVE GRAPEs.-A lady sends
the following: First pick off all un-
sound or unripe grapes, and lay the
clusters in an empty room on papers
until dry, for in all packages some will
be crushed and dampen Others.-Then
an empty crate will do to pack them in.
First layer Of grapes, then thickness
Of paper, so as to exclude the air and
keep them separate, then grapes and
then paper, and so until you have three
or four layers-no more than four. If
the box is to hold more, put in parti-
tion to support the others that are to be
packed. We packed hundreds of pounds
thus last year, and they kept perfectly
until the middle of March, and, had the
supply not been exhausted, they could
have been kept much longer.

Materials for ROofng.-It is stated in
scientific journal that the adoption
of board made of leather waste, for
covering roofs, is steadily on the in
crease, especially since it has been
found practicable to impart to the ma
terial the required durability, imper-
viOusness, and that most important
quality of ala great resistance
against the constantly changing influ-
ences of the atmosphere. Only by
changing the mode of manufacture,
however, have these valuable proper
ties been secured.
According to the account given of
this manufacture in Engineering, the
board of this description formerly used
for covering in roofs was q spOngy,
easily compressed mass, which re-
ceived a single coat of tar, and which
possessed the great fault Of softening,
and consequently losing its consistency
in damp atmosphere. But this product
has of late been superseded by an arti-
Gle composed of fibrOus matters pos
sessing, like leather, great substance !:
and these matters are, in the process
of manufacture, impregnated with an
Oleaginous composition, imparting to
the material-when cut into sheets like
paper and dried-the appearance of
real leather. This fabric Is said to pre-
sent the combined advantages of being
light, firm, lasting and economical.

Sun Spots and Atmospheric Forces.-
Professor Barrett read a paper prepared
by Mr.. I. MOffat, on the apparent con-
nectiOn between sun spots, atmospheric
ozone. rain, and force of wind. The
author stated that from 1850 to 1860 he
discovered thatthe maximum and min
imum of atmospheric ozone occurred
in cycles of years. He had compared
the number of new groups of sun spots,
in each year of these cycles, with the
quantity of ozone, and the results
showed that there was an increase in
the number of new groups of sun spots.
He also showed that there is an increase
in the quantity Of rain and the force of
wind with the maximum quantity of
ozone and sun spots, and a decrease in
these with the minimum of ozone and
sun spots.

To BROIL CHOPs.-Trim and flatten
the chops with a chopper, sprinkle salt
and pepper on both sides, dip them i'm
melted butter, place them on gridiron,
and set on sharp fire, turn over two or
three times to broil properly, and when
done, serve them around in dish, one
tapping over the other, etc., and serve
with the gravy. 1t takes about twelve
minutes to cook with good fire. An
other way.-When trimmed and fiat
tened, dip them in beaten egg, roll them
in bread-erumbs and broil, either as
they are, or enveloped in buttered paper.

Preserving Mdpure.-The Boston Jour
nal Of Chemistry states that the sources
of loss in the storage are two: First,
the escape of volatile ammonia and
other gases; AMI secondly, the loss of
valuable salts Dy teaching. The first
difficulty may be obviated by covering
the droppings with eight or ten inches
of good soil or loan, which will absorb
all escaping gases. A bushel or so of
plaster may be advantageously scattered
over the heap before the soil is thrown
on. The whole mass should be per-
fectly covered, leaving no chimney
for gaseous exudation. The danger of
teaching may be avoided by covering
the heap with hay or straw sufficiently
thick to shed off the rain. If kept in
this way sufficient time, the manure
will undergo spontaneous decomposition
the products of which will be ready for
immediate assimilation by plants. The
usual process in vogue among farmers
is carting manure to the fields i'm the
autumn, where it wastes, in the way
shown above, some of its most valuable
constituents.

AGRICULTURAL.

H0tc 10 Store Potdfoes.-ThOse who
have good cellars under their barns, or
in any place safe from frost and yet
cool and dry, can generally make po-
tato growing pay; and these are usually
the ones who do.
In old times large quantity of pota-
toes were stored out of doors in the
open ground. They were arranged in
long ridges, not in great bulk, as even
A mass Of potatoes will heat, and COW
cred with earth sufficiently thick to
keep out the frost. But since the in
coming Of the potato disease, this plan
is not so much followed. The Infected
tnbers will often rot, especially if the
mass heats a little, and the diseased
ones will often communicate the disease
to the rest. In cellar this can be seen
and noted, but in a mound out Of doors
no one knows of the trouble till Spring
when great loss has been found. Be
sides this, it is so difficult to get at
them in Winter that those who have no
way to preserve potatoes except this,
as q general thing prefer not to grow
at all rather than to be bothered with
this.
Stored in cellars the potato is seldom
troublesome if healthy. No matter in
how great bulk, or whether put in wet
or dry, they seldom heat to injury. But
If the seeds of disease be there the little
heat generated by the heaping together
of SO many roots, is often enough to set
the disease to work, and very great
losses have been the consequence.
Dampness undoubtedly favOrs the
spread of the potato disease, and there
fore where there is any chance at all of
the disease existing in the roots, they
ought to be stored as dry as possible.
Those which are to be kept in this gen.
eral way should be dry and cool, but
this should be especially seen to in the
case Of seed potatoes. Since the potato
beetle came among us it is clear that We
are to have the best results from very
early planting, and by the use of the
earliest varieties. Now these early
kinds are more easily affected by
warmth than the late ones. They
sprout easily, and GOODNESS is therefore
the more essential for them. Some
people think it makes little difference
whether seed potatoes sprout or not be-
fore planting. We have known people
tear off sprouts several inches long, and
cut up the tubers in full faith that they
will sprout out again and be none the
worse for it. They do generally grow,
but there is little doubt they are cOnsti-
tutionally weaker, and much more liza
BILE to disease than those which do not
sprout till ready to go I'm the ground.

Constitution of tie Sun.-ProfessOr
BalfOur Stewart, in an address on this
subject, said: Several new metals have
been added to the list of those pre-
viously detected in the solar atmOs-
phere, and it is now certain that the
vapors of hydrogen, potassium, sodium
rubidium, barium, strOntium, calcium,
magnesium, aluminium, iron, manga
nese. chromium, cobalt, nickel. titanl-
um, lead, copper, cadmium, zinc, uran-
ium, cerium, vanadium, and palladium
occur in our luminary.
If we have learned to be independent
of total eclipses as far as the lower pOr-
tiOns of the solar atmosphere are con-
cerned, it must be confessed that as yet
the upper portiOns-the OutwOrks OF
the sun-can only be successfully ap-
preached on these rare and precious
occasions. Thanks to the various gov
ernmeDt expeditions despatched by
Great Britain, by the United States,
and by several Continental nations,
thanks, also, to the exertiOns of Lord
Lindsay and other astrOnOmers-we
are in the possession of definite lnfOr-
nation regarding the solar corona.
In the first place, we are now abs0-
lutely certain that a large part of this
appendage unmistakably belongs to
our luminary, and in the next place,
we know that it consists, in part at
least, of an ignited gas giving pecu-
liar spectrum, which we have not yet
been able to indentify with that of any
known element. The temptation is
great to associate this spectrum with
the presence of something lighter than
hydrogen, of the nature of which we
are yet totally ignorant.
A peculiar physical structure of the
corona has likewise been suspected.
On the whole, we may say that this is
the least known, while it is perhaps the
most interesting, region of solar re-
search most assuredly it is well worthy
of further investigation.

tained, put pound Of sugar, to pound
of pulp; stir well together; boil slow
twenty minutes, taking care it does not
burn. Dip out when little cool, into
small bowls, jars, or large tumblers.
Cover with piece Of white paper dipped
in brandy, and then paste newspaper
tightly over the top. The branded
paper is to be laid on the top of the pre-
serve, to keep it from moulding.
should not be afraid to warrant YOU,
that grapes prepared in this way, would
keep three years. Be sure and put it in
small dishes, it keeps so much better.
When wanted for use, remove the pasted
paper, and if you find the other paper
all covered with mold, don't be alarmed,
it won't do any hurt; take it off care
fully, and turn the grape out upon a
plate, when you can cut it into any
shape-round, square, diamond, or any
other way, as it will remain just as you
cut it. Keep in dry, dark, cool place.
