A BooT-RAcK.-One of the greatest
troubles of the neat housewife in the
country results from muddy boots of
those members of the family who have
to work in the fields, the stables and
the barn-yard. The wet boots must
be dried and are generally left under
the kitchen stove, where their presence
is very disagreeable. Now, to have q
neat kitchen, there should be q boot
rack placed behind the stove, in which
the damp boots may be placed to dry.
Such contrivance has been found q
great convenience. 1t has three shelves
about four feet long, ten inches wide
and placed foot apart. At one end
a book jack is fixed by hinges 30 that,
when not in use, it is folded against
one end of the rack and secured by q
button. There is also Q stand for
cleaning boots at the front, which also
folds up when not in use, and the
blacking brushes are placed on the
shelves behind the stand, and are out
Of sight, and when folded they hang

A PoTATO THAT REsIsTs THE COLORADO
BUG.-A. Jackson, of Frederick county
Md, communicates the following in
teresting facts to the Baltimore Ameri-
can Farmer, which he says can be at
tested by the sworn testimony Of two
of his laborers. About five years ago
he received from New Jersey Q pecu-
liar kind of Q red potato, under the
name OF Siberian red. It proved to be
very prolific bearer. and Of q mon
strous size very mealy and wholesome
for the table, though some purple
streaks would occasionally run through
the tubers. Last summar he planted
them in hills, four feet apart, between
young grape vines, which stood eight
feet by eight feet, and raised on one
acre q little l,etter than one hundred
bushels of magnificent potatoes. He
fertilized the hills by mixing lime with
ten per cent. of said lime and salt COM
pound. He used a good shovelful of
it in every hill, and embodied it with
the ground (clay soiD by digging. The
result, he says, was astonishing. When
the potato bug (Which had appeared in
myriads) had eaten of q vine, pres
emily two or more vines would shoot
up, keeping on growing until the
November frost killed them. Most
curious of all, they bore here and
there small potatoes (not seed balls) on
the vines. One remarkable hill yielded
forty-fve aversge-sized potatoes. All
his other kinds, as Early Rose, Peach
Blow, Early Goodrich, though treated
in the same manner, were an utter
failure.

PouLTRY.-Poultry breeding has now
come to be regarded as important q
branch of farm industry as the raising
of swine and sheep. In one sense it is
of more importance, in that it is not
every farmer who can keep sheep or
swine with advantage, but every one
who owns or rents q plot of land, If
only the size of city lot, can keep q
few head Of poultry with both pleasure
and profit. When taken into consid-

ally consumed in the United States

the year 1872 upwards Of $40, 900, 600
costing at Wholesale about sc, 292, 600
and when we note the immense
number of tons of poultry sold in all
the large cities of the Union, we can
not call the poultry interest one OF
minor importance. Yet it is but few
years since the name of poultry breed
ers seem to convey the idea of insig-
nifcance. Now, however, the proprie-
tors of large stock farms have their
focks of pure bred fowls, which get
their share of attention and study as
well as the horned cattle and horses /;
and the net income from q well man.

A Worn SCREw.-The american
Builder says Very often a screw hole
gets so worn that the screw will not
stay in. Where glue is handy, the
regular carpenter makes the hole larger
and CLUES in large plug, making nest
for an entirely new hole. But this is
not always the case, and people without
tools and in an emergency, often have
to fix the thing at once. Generally
leather is used, but this is so hard that
it does not hold well. The best of all
things is to cut narrow strips of cork
and fill the hole completely. Then
force the screw in. This will make as
tight job as if driven into an entirely
new hole.
