KNOWLEDGE OF COoKERY.-At q
social gathering of gentlemen. held re-
Gently at the residence of one of the
number, on Murray Hill, says the New
York Express, the conversation turned
on the lack of knowledge of the practi-
cal details of housekeeping, which is said
to be displayed by the majority OF young
ladies. The daughters of the host de-
clared that much that is asserted on
this subject is incorrect; and to prove the
statement offered to provide dinner,
composed of the usual number of courses
each dish to be cooked by the ladies
themselves without aid from the servants.
The offer was accepted. The dinner was
provided day or two after, the young
ladies acting as mattresses. The cooking
was declared to be excellent. Each of
the young ladies has been presented
with q pair of handsome bracelets as a
mark of appreciation Of the culinary skill
displayed.

The following is simple method Of
cleaning brass, which will be valuable
for the housewife to remember: If very
much oxidized or covered with green
rust, first wash it with strong soda and
water. If not so very bad this first pro.
cess may be dispensed with. Then ap
ply a mixture of one part of common
sulphuric acid and twelve parts of water
mixed in an earthen vessel wash well
first with clear water, and then with
water containing some ammonia, after
ward securing well with oil and rotten
stone, using a piece of soft leather and a
little dry rotten-stone to give a brilliant
polish. In subsequent cleaning, oil and
rotten-stone will be found sufficient.

III. Cause Of Cs.l Oil Lamp explosions.

All explosions of coal oil lamps are
caused by the vspor or gas that collects
in the space above the oil. When full
of oil, of course q lamp contains no gas,
but Immediately on lighting the lamp
consumption of oil begins, soon leaving
q space for gas, which commences to form
as the lamp warns up, and after burning
q short time sufficient gas will accumu-
late to produce An explosion. The gas
in lamp will explode only when ignited.
In this respect it is like gunpowder.
Cheap or inferior oil is always the most
dangerous.
The fame is communicated to the gas
in the following manner: The wick
tube in all lamp burners is made larger
than the wick which is to pass through
it. It would not do to have the wick
work tightly in the burner on the con-
trary, it is essential that it move up and
down with perfect ease. In this way it
is unavoidable that space in the tube is
left along the sides Of the wick sufficient
for flame from the burner to pass down
into the lamp and explode the gas.
Many things may occur to cause the
flame to pass down the tube and explode
the lamp:
First-A lamp may be standing on a
table or mantle, and slight puff Of air
from the open window, or the sudden
opening of door, causes an explosion.
Second-A lamp may be taken up
quickly from a table or mantle, and
instantly explode.
Third-A lamp may be taken in an
entry where there is draft, or out of
doors, and an explosion ensues.
Fourth-A lighted lamp is taken up 9
flight of stairs, or is raised quickly to
place it on the mantle, resulting in an
explosion. In all these cases the mis-
chief is done by the air movement
either suddenly checking the draught or
forcing air down the chime y against the
fame.
Fifth-Blowing down the chimney to
extinguish the light is frequent cause
of explosion.
Sixth-Lamp explosions have been
caused by using chimney broken off at
the top, or one that has piece broken
out, whereby the draft is rendered vari-
able and the fame unsteady.
Seventh-Sometimes a thoughtless
person puts small wick in large
burner, thus leaving considerable space
in the tube along the edges of the wick.
Eighth-An old burner with its air
drafts clogged up, which rightfully should
be thrown away, is sometimes continued
in Use, and the final result is an explosion.

Corn and Cut Worms.

Your valuable preventive one and
one-half pounds of copsras to one bushel
of corn) tried as follows, with great
ease, cheapness and certainty, and most
marked and astonishing results to all
my hands. Ipalverized two pounds OF
copperas at night, and the next morning
put in soak, and put one and one-half
bushels of corn in soak in seperate YES
sci at night. After soaking twelve hours,
pour off the water from the corn into a
tub; l then add as mach water as will
cover the corn, and add to it the coppcras
water, and thoroughly mix and pour
over the corn, and let it remain in cop
peras water twelve hours; 1 then pour
off the copperas water from the corn and
roll the seed corn in J. J. T.'s excelsior
or plaster, and if early for planting, 1
open deep surrows, say four or five inches,
and cover light with corn covers; but if
late. l cover deep. l tried this expert
ment on a sod field of three years stand
ing, plowed in March and April, 1873.
plowed with a three horse plow, seven
inches deep on the average; the ground
was nicely pulverized. Planted on the
lst of May, three and one-half by three
and one-half each way. Two days plant
ing-ten acres. l dampened the corn
and rolled it in the plaster. The third
day l had the corn prepared with cop
peras and ready to plant. l planted the
corn across forty-four acre field by the
side of the second days planting, and
there were between two and four days
planting; all treated alike. except the
application of coperas on the two bushels
seed corn. To the surprise and satisfac-
tion of myself and hands, it came up reg
ular, green and vigorous, and grew rapid
ly. soon found it necessary to replant.
/ found, on examination, not hill cut
nor a worm to be found where the cop
peras was used, and the entire field, ex-
cept the two bushels of seed thus treated
was cut from two to three hills out of
five, and often found from one to iif-
teen cut worms in hill. l was so woc-
ried l could not tell which plan was the
best-replant, plow and plant over, or
check off between rows. l have heard of
such being done, but never tried it.
have ordered one hundred and fifty
pounds, and am urging all my friends to
give it trial. One bushel of corn will
plant five acres, and one and one half
pounds of copperas will prepare the BUSH
el OF corn. Copperas can be bought in
quantities to suit farmers at from six to
seven cents per pound. 1t would cost
IL cents per acre. 1t is cheap, simple
and certain with me and Others who
tried it last year, and I regard it as a
valuable preventive.

Sowed Corn fOrsF0rase.

The experience of the past year ha'
given rise to the question of the merit.
of corn sown in drills, for feeding pur
poses during the drouths which frequent
ly occur, and with less the hay crop to
such an extent as to render a substitute
for it necessary. The practice of sowing
corn as a reserve crop for feeding pur.
poses when needed, is too much neglected
by the majority of farmers. Few crops
yield a greater return for the labor OF
producing it, and in no other way can SO
much wholesome and nutritious feed for
stock be produced, as by sowing corn.
We have already alluded to Hungarian
grass as a reserve crop, but for dairymen,
crop of sowed corn is just the thing for
midsummer and winter use.
The corn crop may be sown from the
first of June to the middle of July. The
yield varies from five to ten tons per
acre. The quantity of seed required is
three and one half bushels of the large
Dent corn to the acre. This crop like
the Hungarian, requires that the land
should be we'll enriched. 1t is good
plan ordinarily to plow the land twice
oncevery early, then again early in June.
Harrow we'll and mark out in furrows
with a shovel plow, frow two and half
to three feet apart. Cover with the har-
row, running first lengthwise and then
crosswise. But little after culture is
needed. 1t will be well up in eight or
ten days after planting, when the shovel
pillow can be run between the rows, and
if done again about two weeks thereafter,
the corn will completely cover the
ground, and no after cultivation will be
necessary.
As soon as the ears (nubbins) begin to
get hard, cut and bind the crop in small
bundles, shock them up together and tie
the tops we'll. This crop may be cut
with common scythe. A cradle having
q short scythe like the one for brush,
with two strong fingers of corresponding
length, makes good implement to cut
it with. If we'll put up it can remain in
the field until wanted. In this climate
it is better to have plenty of shed room
in wich to store it, so that whatever the
weather may be, there will always be a
liberal supply on hand for immediate use.
All kinds of stock eat this crop with
avidity, and eat it up clean, and thrive
upon it better than upon any other kind
of dry feed, and it is much cheaper.
Farmers would do we'll to SOW at least
two acres annually. If sown to feed to
cows during drouth in mid summer, of
course much larger area should be sown
convenient or adjacent to the pasture or
feeding lot. 1t is one of the crops that
will nav.

In removing grease spots from clothin,

In removing grease spots from clothing
with benzole or turpentine, the usual
way is to wet the cloth with the deter
gent, and then to rub it with the sponge
or like. This only spreads the grease,
and does not remove it. The proper
method is given by the Scientific Amer
ican: Place soft blotting-paper beneath
and on top of the greasy-spot, after the
latter has been thoroughly saturated
with the benzole; then press we'll. The
fat is thus dissolved and absorbed by the
paper and entirely removed from the
clothing.

MoONsaINE.-Beat the white of s eggs
long and we'll, gradually adding 8 table
spOonfuls of powdered sugar. When you
have beaten it at least half an hour, add
some preserved peaches, chopped into
small bits, or jelly, or anything you may
prefer to favor it; put in glass dish and
set in cool place until wanted. When
serving it, first pour into the saucer
some richly sweetened cream, favored
with vanilla. then put the moopshine on
the cream. This is really but little
trouble, and is as good and looks as nice
