TentiIatjoH cf .StaJles.-Proper venti-
lation does not consist in wide cracks in
the doors, nor holes in the walls, which
let in stream of cold air upon the
animals. Unless there is ample space
above, to allow the impure air TO escape
the stable is filled with eddies and cur
rents below, which are injurious TO cat
tie. Ventilation should be by means
of small spaces, which admit numerous
small streams of fresh air. If there is
an open space above the cattle, these
small streams intermingle without caus-
ing any perceptible draft of cold air.
Proper ventilation consists in having
the air within in exactly the same con-
dition as it is without; pure, fresh,
abundant in quantity, and equal in
quality, so that the air that the animals
breathe is as pure as that which flows
about their feet and legs. This lisa sub
ject which deserves the careful atten-
tiOn of farmers.

TrdRspldRting Pidnts.-The editor of
the GeTIadnto,rR Telegraph says: There
is no mode that we ever tried so effect
ual in transplanting tomato, cabbage,
canteleup, or any other tender plant
from the hot-bed, or from one place to
another, as 10 perpare a vessel filled
with manure-water and rich soil. about
the consistency of thin mush, with
which the roots of the plant should be
well coated, and set in a hole made with
a round piece of wood or dibble. After
being rather firmly planted moisten
again with manure water. We have
never failed in any transplanting when
done in his way, and the trouble is
very slight.

Comparison II Breeds of HeRS.-lsaac
Lynde, of Ohio, wrote to The Poultry
World year ago, that on the first of
September he took ten pullets each of
five breeds, each within week of being
six months old, and placed them in
yards forty feet square and comforta-
BILE houses. For the next six months he
kept an account of their food and egg
production, with the following results 4:
The dark Brahmas ate 2691. quarts of
corn, oats, and wheat-ScreeningS, laid
COS eggs, and weighed 20 pounds.
The Buff COchins ate 406 quarts, laid
59I eggs, and weighed 13 pounds.
The Gray Dorkings ate 309I squarts,
laid 524 eggs, and weighed 5911s pounds.
The Houdans ate 2l4ls quarts, laid
.s3 eggs, and weighed ~ pounds.
The Leghorns ate 23lls quarts, laid
S07 eggs, and weighed 30 pounds.
1t will be seen by the above compar-
ison that the Leghorns laid the great
e.t number of eggs with the smallest
weight.

Feeding Roots at the lSurJdce.-0ne of
the points we have most strongly in
sisted on i'm fruit culture is, that the
outcry about the evils OF ''over luxuri-
ance" in trees only comes from those
who bury manure in the soil. We have
stated over and over again that we have
never seen fruit trees suffer from any
amount of manure, when the feyling
roots were at the surface and the food
surface-applied. We have even seen
grape vines, pear trees and others flour
ishing in wonderful luxuriance when
manure heaps have been made about
their stems.-GdrdeRer Monthly.

Chicken Cutlets.-The remains of cold
chicken can be converted into very nice
little outlets. The meat should be cut
into as many small outlets as possible.
and as nearly the same shape as can be
managed. Dip each into clarified butter
mixed with the yolk of an egg; cover
them with bread crumbs, seasoned with
half teaspoonful of finely-minced
lemon peel, little cayenne, and salt
Fry them for five minutes, and then
arrange them on fried sippets of the
same shape, the outlets to be piled high
in the dish. A sauce made as follows
should be ready, which pour around {:
For the sauce, put one ounce of butter
into a stew pan, add twOminced shallots,
one small bunch of savOry herbs, in
Guiding parsley, few slices of carrot,
six peppercOrns, with just suspicion
of mace; fry all together for ten min
utes, then pour in half pint of gravy
made from the chicken bones. Stew

Effect of 4mmORid Fumes on FiOrers.
Prof. Gabba has been examining the
effects of ammonia on the color of
flowers. 1t is well known that the
smoke of tobacco will, when applied in
sufficient quantity. change the tint of
of flowers but Prof. Gabba expert
ments by pouring a little ammonia
liquor into saucer and inverting a
funnel over it. Placing the flowers in
the tube of the latter, he finds that
blue, violet, and purple color blossoms
become of a fine green ; carmine and
crimson become black white, yellow !;
while parti-colOred flowers such as red
and white are changed to green and
yellow. If the flowers are immersed in
water, the natural color will return in
a few hours. Prof. Gabba also found
that asters acquire a pleasing OdOr
when submitted to the fumes of ammo

Hanging an 4re.-Get your black
smith To make an iron wedge to fasten
the handle i'm with. 1t will cost but
fifteen or twenty cents. 1t should be
about two and half inches long. and
about two in width, and the head of
the wedge should be large enough to
cover the eye of the axe. 1t is much
better than the wooden one generally
used for such purposes. as it can be
easily knocked out with cold chisel
and hammer. The usual method of
other advantage is that sometimes an
axe is broken, while the handle remains
good, then the iron wedge can be
knocked out, and is ready to be put In

Burning Iron.-A Berlin experiment
ter has demonstrated the cOmbustibilI-
ty of iron in peculiar manner. He
takes a straight bar magnet of some
power, and sprinkles iron filings on one
of its poles. These filings arrange
themselves in accordance with the lines
of magnetic force and however closely
they may appearto be placed. of course
no TWO of the metallic filaments are
parallel, and consequently, a certain
amount OF air is enclosed as in a metallic
sponge. The flame OF any ordinary
spirit lamp or gas burner readily ignites
the finely divided iron, and itcOnunues
to burn brilliantly for some time, the
combustion being, apparently, as nat
ural and easy as that of any ordinary
substance. If the experimenter with
this operation stands on slight eleva-
ton and waves the magnet To and fro
while burning, magnificent rain of
fire is said to be produced.

AJ0m the Water Sapply.-IIere are
some rules on the subject Of the water
supply of dwellings, from the SdRitd-
TidR.
The well should be sunk at a great a
distance as possible from the privies,
pig-stys, fold-yards and other collec-
tions of filth; /; this is especially necessary
where the water from the surface
spring has to be used.
The top and sides of the well should
be carefully puddled with well-tem-
pered clay, eighteen inches thick, as far
down, if practicable, as the first bed of
clay.
If the top well he left open, it should
he walled around to keep the surface
water out and prevent accidents.
The soft water cistern. if underground
should be built in cement, and puddled
eighteen inches thick; it should be ven
tilated, and the overflow should not go
into any sewer or drain.
The lid should he surrounded by a
raised rim to prevent any surface water
getting into the cistern.
Leaden pipes and cisterns should not
be used for soft water.
The same cistern should not be used
for drinking and supplying water
closet.

Virtue and WkjStling An old farmer
once said 10 Us that he would not have a
hired man on his farm who did not
habitually whistle. He always hired
whiStlerS; said he never knew whist
ling labOrer to find fault with his food,
his bed, 0r complain of a little extra
work he was asked to perform. Such Il
man was generally kind to children and
to animals in his care. He would
whistle chilled lamb into warmth and
life, and would bring in his hatfull of
eggs from the barn without breaking
one of them. He found such man
more careful about closing gates, put
ting up bars, and seeing that the nuts
on his plOw were all properly frightened
before he took it into the field. He
never knew whiStling hired man to
kick or beat a COW, nor drive her on a
run into the stable. lie had noticed
that the sheep he fed in the yard and
shed gathered around him as he whis-
tied, without fear. He never had en-
ployed a whistler who was not thought
ful and economical.

Glycerin as an Illuminating Material.
M. Schering states that glycerin may
be burned in an any lamp so long as
the flame is kept on level with the
liquid. The latter, on account of its
cOnsistence, will not ascend an elevated
wick. As the flame, like that of alco-
hol, is almost colorless, and as the ma
terial is especially adapted for absorb
ing a large proportion of saline sub
stances, NJ. Schering has recently made
experiments in cOloring the flames with
various bodies, and with satis factory
results. By introducing substances
rich in carbon, it appears that the flame
may be rendered suitable for illnmina-
ting purposes. The low price of glyc-
erin, and its property of not volatiliz-
ing at high temperatures, add to its ad-
vantages in this direction.

4 Russian claims to have discovered
a process for producing light by cleo
tricity, which is thus described A
small tube of glass, not more than six
inches in length, is filled with pencil
of charcoal, the air is exhausted, and
the tube Theoretically sealed. A mod
crate current of electricity is then pas
sed through the charcoal from an Ordi
nary electromagnetic machine caus-
ing it to glow with a very radiant, but
at the same time soft light. 1t isstated
that the charcoal does not apparently
suffer consumption, but lasts for an in
definite period, and that the strength
of the current required is so small
that 200 of these lights, at consider
able distance apart, can be easily main
tanned by a single machine. The in
ventor claims that he can light the
whole city of St. Petersburg, both
street lamps, stores, and private resi-
dences, by single fifteen horse power
machine, with no greater cost than
that of running the machine.

is admirably suited in Summer for this
purpose, as itsubdues the glare of light,

provided with these gauze windows see
plainly enough through them, and have
all the advantage without the disad-
