The Scientific american announces that an
insect, hostile TO housewives and slumber,
has been purged of his pestilential qualities
by a simple scientific method, and rendered
delightful and indispensable article of the
dressingtable. BY soaking nice fat bed bugs
in a saturated solution of nitrate OF potash
and water, perfume, delicate, delicious,
penetrating, and like nothing else in the
wide world, is obtained. What an impetus
this will give to the slaughter Of insects oil
this persuasion. Nitrate of potash is cheap,
and bed.bucs are plentiful. The under-p paid
clerk on s. week, living at dingy, third
class boarding house, has in this announce
ment the vherewithsl to accumulate a CON-
potency. Such is the value of the daily
newspaper as the handmade Of Sciense and

We see far too few good lawns. The lawns
of England are said to surpass those of Amer
lea in that rich, velvety-like appearance
which characterizes fine lawns. Wa are apt
to Overcrowd our lawns with trees, shrubs
walks, and flower beds, thus despoiling them
of their beauty Mark the wide difference
between city lawns and those Of the country
In the cramped city lot every every foot OF
available space is utilized. The farmer often
fences In from oDe-tourth to two acres and
sometimes more He seeds to grass, and per
haps mows 1t once year, while few dwarf
ed fruit iees and Clump of lilacS constitute
its ShrubSery. BY close scrutiny you may
discover the remains Of what was once flow
er bed, made by the tired hands OF the moth
err but long ago trampled beneath the hOois
OF horses which had been turned out to eat
while their master is taking his daily moon
ing" think this picture is noV overdrawn.
So many farmers live in this sllp-shod way,
and what Is the results Their daughters
grow up to womanhood disconnected with
farm life, while their sons take refuge in the
ouererowded cities.
The American farmer fails again often by
having too much land included in the lawn.
Weeds grow up IN the fence corners, sprouts
from the trees and the lawns become insight
" in appearance, while the land IS valueless
to the owner One half of an acre neatly
laid out and we'll taken care Of will afford
ample room tor fruits, lowers, shade and
walks.
Great care should be taken in the formation
of lawn. II will show of to better advan-
tage if there is gentle slope from the house
to the roadside 1t should also be free Of
stone. Piow and harrow until perfectly
smooth, mark out with walks if any are wish
ed, and topdress with fine, weIl-rooted ma.
nure. Then procure your lawn grass seed Of
some reliable seedman. This seed is IA mix
ture of crested dogs TAIL Kentucky blue
grass, orchard grass, slender-leated iescue
and sweet vernal. Sow seed and roll the
ground till it is very smooth.
If you wish to keep a fine lawn do not
plant any wide.spreading shade trees. Plant
such trees rs the maple, hOrse-chestnut and
elm along the roadside. Ifyou plant any on
the lawn let them be shrubs or dwarf vari-

Transporting Butter.

A good way to carry rolls of butter over {
rough road or any other is to make tin bOXe!
TO suit the size of the rolls, cylindrical If
form, like pill box but dividing near the
middle, 50 that the cover will constitute one
halt the box. Wrap each roll IA fine bleach
ed muslin and insert one end in the box and
slide the cover over the other end, pressing II
down till the end OF the roll will touch the
inside of the cover. InclOse the tin boxes in
a wooden one Make the wooden box OF
sound one and one.haf inch boards fasten
ing the corners firmly with sheet.iron straps
The outside should be planed and painted
the inside may be rough Line the inside OF
this box with two thlcknesses of felt and CO
yer the felt with thin but sound boards nail
ing them right through the felt snugly to the
outside boards. The felt is a non-cOnductor,
and will keep the heat from striking through
into the butter. Line the inside Of the cover
to the wooden box in the same way, Cheating
the top of 1t to prevent warping or splitting
and attach it to the box by strong hinges on
one side, and hold the other down firmly by
two straps or staples. Stout handles should
be put on each end Of the box for conven-
fence in handling. Rolls of butter in tin
boxes inclosed in such a case will neither get
out of shape nor feel the heat. Upon arriv-
Ing at the end of their journey the rolls are
easily removed from the tin boxes which can
be returned in their case. Boxes four and a
quarter inches in diameter and eight inches
long hold roll of four pounds, and cost
from $3.50 10 - per dozen according to the
quality Of tin. The whole outfit is cheap,

FARM AND GARDEN.
Profit in Poultry Keeping.

An observing person once remarked that
hens required the same kind OF treatment
that young ladies are wont to receive, viz: &c
be kept clean, dry and warm, TO be generous
ly fed and comfortably lodged; to be attend
ed by young, handsome, sprightly gallant
beau, who will cali them up early IN the
morning, and invite them TO paItake OF the
choicest titbits, and further to walk with
them and attend upon them in their hours o
recreation during the day, and watch ovel
and guard them during their repose at night
But l do not propose to write an essay Oh

as an Introductory to an account OF one o
my neighbors' little focks. Mr.. Samue
Train is now an old man, about n years Of
age, and his wife is but few years younger

to two pints of mlddlings,) and while yet
hot, sets it before the hens. They generally

ther, she adds a pinch of pepper, pulverized.
When the hens come up to the back door, as
they do, sometimes, in mild sunny days, she
throws them a few kernels of corn, OF sets
out pan Of ashes. They appear to be very
fond of ashes, and pick out all the little
pieces Of coal and eat them, and then wallow
in the remainder. The henhouse is rough
ballding, only two or three rods from the
door, and during the very cold weather, when
the mercury was down to zero, one of the
aged couple would go down and get the eggs
before they froze. Now for the account:

strips of skin from the palmer surface of an
