Green Paint for Garden PurnOsps.

Nothing is of greater Importance to the set
ting Oft OF country or suburban residence,
than the appearance of the varandas, the
trellis work, and the garden stands. To keep
them in perfect order, they should be painted
anew every year, and their improved appear
ance will fully pay the trouble and expense.
In the first place it is needful to clean them
from all dust and dirt, and it is we'll to select
dry day for this purpose. When they are
perfectly dry, apply with large paint brush
the first coat, made of the following mixture:
Take white lead and mineral green ground
in turpentine, with the addition of small
quantity of turpentine varnish. When the
first coat is we'll dried in, use the follwing for
a second coat: Take the same mixture as
before, but add as much turpentine varnish
as is needed to give it good gloss; and if one
desires still brighter shade of green, add
little Prussian blue, which greatly improves
the beauty of its color. Such coating as
this will be impervious to the weather for
some time, and is also an excellent paint for
widow blinds. If you cannot procure the
turpentine varnish, you can prepare it from
the following recipe: To every quart of tur-
pentlne add one pound of rosin pounded very
fine; let it boil in an iron pot or tin vessel for
about an hour 1t is rather dangerous to
make this varnish indoors on account of its
liability to take fire. II is better to build a
fire out OF doors, and make the varoish where
Il WILL do no harm.

miscellaneous Recipes.

To compute the number OF tons an ice
house will contain, calculate the number of
cubic feet in the house and divide BY 35
this gives the number OF tons if closely
packed.
About 270 cubic feet of new meadow hay.
or from ZIG to 243 cucic feet of hay from old
stacks, or from 297 to 1924 cudic feet of dry
clover, weighs one ton.
To determine the weight of live cattle,
just behind the shoulder blade, and the length
of the back from the tail to the fore part of the
shoulder blade. Multiply the girth by the
length and divide by IA. If the girth is less
than three feet. multiply the quotien by IL.
If between 3 and feet, multiply by 16: if be-
tween and feet, by 23, or If between and
Q feet, by 81. If the animal is lean, deduct
one-twentieth of the result and the answer is
the weight in pounds; this multiplied by O.6O5
gives the net weight.
A mixture of tallow parts, tar part, ap-

POETRY.
A BenedictiOn.
BY @. BROOKE.

He held her hand one minute in his own:
Murmured, through parted lips, "God help 20 u,
Sweet"
Left her alone and in his vacant pl ace
The twilight stole with soft and noseless feet.
He passed away through dewy garden paths,
Flooded with waves of moonlight, weird and white :
And mystic scent of leaf-veiled lilac bloom.
Waiting its incense to the soul of night.
Between the setting and the rising sun,
Adrit her spirit wandered, till the day
Woke the new story of a life begun
Out Of the grave of one than slipped away.
A twilight life, of gentle thought and deed,
OF selfess purpose, and reliant prayer;
A spirit moving in the misty light
Of springtide perfume on the evening air.
Standing Alone her life was doubly blest,
By this dead love, and love of sorrow born
Till tender Death sang all her soul to rest,
And merged spring twilight in the summer morn.

Liquid Manure for Pot Plants.

Liquid Manure for Pot Plants.
The beneficial results obtained from manure
water, when judicioasy applied to fruiting
and Towering plants, have long been recog-
coming more general. 1t Is well known that
the roots of plants are more healthy when
growing in pure soil free from rank manure
and that these roots will draw more healthy
nourishment to the plants from manure given
in liquid state than when they are enclosed
In rank material which they cannot consume.
We know that our most successful grape grow
ers use very little solid manure in the soil
only few bones or bone meal, or similar ma
terial, which cannot give off more stimulant
than the plants can consume. These will
remain much longer in the soil than manure;
which dissolves rapidly, and continue their
action as fertilizer to the end.
The successful florist has more faith in CIV
ing stimulants, when the plant really needs
them, than in keeping the roots buried in soil
made rich and almost offensive by strong ma
nure. When roots are few and the plants al
most at rest, the purer the soil and the less
stimulant the plants receive, the better they
will thrive when their roots come to draw up
larger supplies of nourishment Moisture is
needed to soften the soil and to allow the root
to extract nourlshment from il; but when all
the virtue is out of the earth, and the plants
begin to show signs of distress, all the water
ing in the world will not give vigor to the ex-
hausted functions Blu: let portion of guano
or any well prepared manure be mixed with
the water sufficient to color it, and let this be
repeated at every watering instead of giving
much Stronger dose at longer intervals, and the
result will be most satisfactory. We have tried
q number of experiments this season with liq-
uid manure, and all lead us to have faith in
the application of it., at watering, in weakly
state.
A number of old fuschias were stunted and
pot bound, but pressure of more important
matters prevented our pottiug them in to fresh
earth; but to each watering coloring of qua
no was allowed, and the plants with their pot
bound roots have not only made vigorous
growth but lowered freely from June onward
till November. Some pelargoniums, which
were cut down last season and allowed to
break in the usual way, were shaken out of
the pots, and placed in smaller ones but,
when they should have been shifted, they
were allowed to remain in the small pots,
which were crammed with roots. Guano wat
er was given at all times when they required
moisture and the plants grew and made fine
foliage, and Powered better than others which
were favored with larger pots and fresh soil.
We could give many other examples to prove
that giving liquid manure frequently, and
not until roots are in abundance to consume
1t, is the proper way to deal with this import
ant assistant to cultivation.-Florist.

Zone SPAWN.

The causes of SPAWN are usually classified
In predisposing and exciting. Predispostion
to SPAWN may be either constitutional or
local. In the former case, lying inbred or
constitution; in the latter, in some popularity
in the formation of the hooks, or in the use
made OF it. Soheysell speaks of spavlns be-
ing hereditary, though Gibson's interpreta-
ton of this is, natural weakness. Hook dis
eases are often hereditary. We have known
the progeny of some horses very much dis
posed to SPAWN; others inherit tendency TO
splints, ringbones, etc. The peculiar forma-
ton of the parts inherited from the parents,
render them susceptible to those diseases
from causes that would make little impression
on other horses. Growing young horses and
particularly such as are called overgrown,
may be said to be predisposed to SPAWN, simp-
ly from the circumstance of the weakness
manifest in the hooks, as well as other Joints.
The exciting causes of SPAWN are over-ex-
tension, strain laceration of the fibrous It's
sues of the hook, and conclusion of its joints,
hard galloping or hard trotting and sudden
pulling up, etc. These are the actions most
likely to cause such injuries. Removal of
SPAWN is not among the possibilities of sur
gerry. The deposit may be reduced in amount
by action of counter-irritants; but the COM
plete removal of the beny matter, and the
restoration of bones to perfect healthy state,
are not to be expected. The object of treat
ment is always 10 restore soundneSs of action,
and this being gained the owner is satisfied.
The horse remaining technically and legally an
unsound animal, although he may be capable
of performing any kind of work as well as
sound horse. The treatment of spawn re-
solves itself into some form of counter-irrita-
ton. Spavins and fring-irons are SO init
mately associated in veterinary practice, that
no arguments have hitherto been successful
in separating them. According to our expert
ence, the miider forms of Characterization
-blisters-are just as effectual as firing. Fir
ing may be looked upon as the last resource
in severe cases which have resisted other
forms of treatment.
There can be no doubt of the value of the
actual cautery, as sergcal remedy of high
power. but the constant resort 10 the opera
tion in cases which would, in all likelihood,
yield to blister. is to be deprecated. Dit
ferent forms of Contamination are in favor
with different practitioners, some employ the
red ointment of the biniode of mercury in
almost all cases, and generally with good
result. This agent acts as powerful blister,
and if properly applied, does not leave any
blemish.-Spirit of the Times.
