MENDING TIN.WARE.


1t is sometimes very convenient to be
able to mend your pans and pals, it is
all the better if one can do it easily,
and without any soldering iron.
I'll tell you what travelling tinker
told me. We have proved by expert
ment that he told the truth, and we find
it great convenience to follow his in
structions
You use a soldering fluid, and this is
how you make it. Buy from q drug
gist an ounce or other convenient guam
tity of muriatic acid. Handle it care
fully, for it is powerful stuff, and " eats"
every thing with which it comes in con-
tact. Turn it into an old teacup or bowl,
and put into it few small strips or par
ings of zinc. such as you can get from
timer No matter how much you put
in, as the acid will only take up GER
tain amount, and the rest will remain in
the bottom. Don't turn it back into the
bottle until it has ceased to effervesce
Then put the liquid in the bottle, and
provide a small stick of wood to apply
it with After the acid has dissolved
the zinc, it is much less corrosive. The
muriatic acid will probably cost but a
few cents, the zinc probably will cost
nothing, and bit of soft solder only
trife.
So now you are set up with tinkering
material to last long time-and this is
the way to use it. Suppose that the
article to be mended is tin-pan with
hole in the bottom. Turn it bottom
upward, and scrape around the edge Of
the hole until the tin is as bright and
clean as you can make it. Then wet it
with the soldering fluid, lay little lump
of solder over the hole (not too large),
and hold it over the blaze of lighted
candle, which burn on the inner side
of the pan The solder will be melted
down fiat, and fixed fast to the pan, and
the job is done. The tinker said he
added little sal ammoniac to his SOL
dering fluid, so as to make it mend iron,
copper, and steel, but it is not needed
for tin-ware Remember that muriatic
acid is very corrosive, and great eau
ton must be used not to get it upon the
clothing or other material that may be
injured.
This soldering fluid we have long
used, and several years ago recommend
ed in an article on tinkering. 1t is en-
ployed by tin workers who use SOL
dering iron. We have never tried to
solder with the heat of candle in the
manner described, but have done some
kinds of work very successfully by the
aid of spirit or alcohol lamp, which
makes no smoke-ED

MANURES AND COMPOSTS.

Collect at every opportunity material
for increasing your piles of these. In
this connection we copy an extract from
a letter in the Country Gentleman
which contains some excellent sugges-
tions
regard good barn cellar as very
important adjunct to the farm 1t is a
most excellent place for keeping pigs,
being cool in Summer aud warm in
Winter. By keeping it closed during
the cold nights of Winter the frost
rarel y enters, and hence the manure
can be forked over at any time when
needed, or hauled out and spread on the
land. The pigs are comfortable day
and night, and will fatten, think, nearly
as we'll as in the Fall. The manure is
under cover, protected from wind, sun,
rain and SNOW and if it needs forking
over at any time, it can be done always
in comfort. Manipulation of this sort
can always be attended to on rainy
days, and time thus economical No els
tern is needed, as the absorbents-dry
muck, straw and other litter-are suffi-
cient for all the fluids which ought to
go to the manure cellar. The ordinary
kitchen slops are used in Summer main
" for watering flowers and trees near
the house. and in Winter are allowed
to soak away on the land at q safe dis
lance from the house and well, or ab-
,orbed by muck pile out of doors
Dry muck will absorb q great deal Of
moisture, and holds all the gases gener-
ated by decomposing animals or vege-
table matter, and becSuse of this it will
not be offensive, even if quite close to
the house An enclosure made of light
poles laid up Clubhouse fashion, and con-
tanning a cord or less of muck, can be
used long time, and, if desired, vines
can be grown around it, to make it an
object of beauty rather then of ugliness.
\ few boards over the top will keep out
most of the rain, while at the ides no
protection will be needed. The wash
slops do not contain large amount of
fertilizing matter, and hence to conduct
them to the barn cellar, to be emptied
all on one spot where they will create
place for pigs to mire in, and greatly
increase the labor of hauling and spread
ing manure, is practice to be avoided
rather than commended.
use dry muck in my privy vault
(the vault being strong and tight
rectangular box, says feet by 3, and
about 10 inches deep and the contents
are, about once in two weeks, shoveled
out and emptied into the barn cellar.
Practically it is an earth closet, as there
is box or keg of muck, with small
shovel in it, for use all the time, an d a
small quantity of this absorbent sufices
to keep down all disagreeable odors,
and renders the work of emptying little
less Objectionable than shoveling earth.
The droppings from the hen-house are
treated in the same way, and, when not
needed for special purpose, also go in
the barn cellar to swell the compost
heap and increase its value In this
way very small amount of live stock
will make large pile of valuable ma
nure annually.

az We must make more manure
Manure is the farmers capital Capt.
tai is accumulated earnings If work
for ST, 200 a year and spend $1,000, l
am no better off at the end of the wear
than at the beginning But if l can,
by working little harder, earn 81 200
a year, and by practicing little econo-
my, live on $500, l can lay up $500
This four hundred dollars is capital,
and begins at once to earn money for
itself Capital is accumulated earnings.
1t is what is left of our profits OF wages
after deducting the expenses Of living.
Manure is accumulated plant-food It
is what is left after raising and dispos-
ing of crop. If your land, as now
worked, is capable of paying you 20
bushels of corn and ton of stalks per
acre every year, and you sell the whole,
your land is no richer in available plant
food. You are making no manure
You spend all your wages. But if by
extra cultivation, by setting free more
plant-feod from the soil, you can make
your land pay you 40 bushels of corn
and two tons of stalks, and instead of
selling it you feed it out to your cows or
sheep and pigs, and are careful to save
all the manure, then your 40 bushels of
corn and two tons of stalks, less about
10 per cent removed by the animals,
becomes capital, and begins at once to
earn money for itself
1t is worth while making a great
effort to get a little capital, in the form of
manure, and not always to be dependent
on the yearly wages which the soil alone
can pay us. How this can best be done,
depends on circumstances. I think it
will sometimes pay to gather leaves for
bedding. lam sure it will pay to scrape
up the bsrn-yards and not let tho drop

ALDERNEY Cows.-Alderncy is well
known for the breed of COWS which bears
its name. These are so called probably be-
cause the first ones exported were from
that island, although now very few that are
sold as Alderney cows are directly from
there. Those of that breed actually ex-
ported from these islands are generally
from Jersey, where the cattle are much the
same as those of Alderney, small, with Ia
peIing heads, and of a delicate fawn-color.
The Guernsey COW is esteemed by some
even more highly than the Attorney it is
rather larger, and more of a red, brindled,
in color. The cows are MIXED three times
daily, and the milk is churned without
skimming one pound of butter a day IS
by no means an uncommon yield for a
good COW. The cow cabbage is made to
reach size so large that the leaves are
used to wrap the butter in for market,
while the stalks are vanished and armed
with ferrules and extensively used at st.
Helier's for canes. The cows are very care
fully coddled. The grass they feed on is
highly enriched by the vraic, species of
sea-weed gathered from the reefs at low
tide. There are two vraic harvests appoint
cd by the government, one in the spring,
the other in August, although IL is gather
ed at other times in small quantities. All
hands turn out in the season with boats
and carts, frequently at night, and it is a
very lively, picturesque occupation, though
often attended with risk and loss of life
from the overlooking of boats or sudden
rising of the tide. The cows are always
tethered when feeding they eat less in this
way, really giving more milk than il glut-
ted with food, and while they are cropping
grass on one side Of field, il has time to
spring up on the other side. When they
have done eating, they are at once removed
from the sun into the shade. The breed is
preserved from intermixture with other
breeds by strong and arbitrary laws very
carefully enforced. No cattle are allowed
to enter the islands except for slaughter
within a certain number of days, with the
exception of oxen for draught. from "THe
Channel Islands," IN Hdrper's Magazine

FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 2s, 1875.


What is IL makes a manly boy2 1t Is not
size or weight, for there are some large,
heavy boys that are anything but manly.
We saw once, big, burly fellow about
fourteen years old, with fist like small
sledge hammer, and voice as loud almost,
as that of a mule but we did not think he
was very manly when we saw him pick up
a small boy, who was quietly playing with
little wooden wagon, and lii him above his
head, while he screamed in his ear as loud
as he could, and then sat him down. The
little fellow was pale with fright, and cried !;
the big fellow laughed aloud, and went his
way, ha- ha-ing as he went, and no doubt
thinking he had done a very fine thing.
But he was not manly.
Nor does the power to smoke cigars,
without getting sick, make manly boy.
Some boys think >, we know. We have
even seen small boys, nine or ten years
old, pick up stumps OF cigars which men
have thrown into the gutter, and pun away
at them, holding up their heads and stalk
ing along, as If TO say, Ladies' and gentle
men, look at us. We are men, we are. We
smoke, and we don't get sick" Bat they
are not men.
A manly boy is one who shows good,
manly qualities. We do not expect him to
be as large as a man, as strong as a man, or
IS wise q a man. But he will be truthful,
honest anu well-bebaved. He will. never
speak of his Iather as the governor" or
the cold man; !" nor will he speak of his
mother as The "uld woman" He will not
be ashamed to have ii known that he loves
both his father and his Is,ther; nor will
he be afraid of all the ridcuie which silly
boys may heap upon him because of this
love. They may call him "baby," and
say what they please about being "led by
his mothers apron strings !" he does not
mind that, for he knows he is right.
He willn engage in low, mean sports;
he loves real sport, but he will do nothing
for fun That ne would I've afraid to talk
about at the dinner table. He does not tor
ment small boys, but is ready to help them
when he can. His sisters are not careful
to hide their work, their books, or their
toys from him, lest he should disturb or
destroy them; he would never think of
that He is careful not to be greedy at the
table, or rude in company, but remembers
that others have rights as well as himself.
Does anybody say this is all very we'll
To talk about, but that no one ever yet saw
such Duy as are here described. We an
swer, "There are such boys. plenty of
them, and We have seen en-" They are
as full of fun n' r,ner boys; they equal
anybody at the different sports in which
boys delight; they swim, and skate, and
play ball, and roll hoop, ami run just like
other boys; but their behavior is gentle
and kind.
These manly boys, when they grow up,
will make real men they will be, in the
best sense of the word, gentlemen. Con-
