DecolOri-ing Property of O-one.-0ne
of the most striking properties of ozone
says MA. Boillot is its bleaching power.
The effects ascribed to chlorine are
really due to ozone. Ozone employed
directly acts as an oxidizing agent lay
ing hold of the hydrogen of the sub
stance with which it is contact, whence
results bleaching. the body is cOlored.
On allowing chlorine to act upon any
animal or vegetable matter, it decom-
poses a certain quantity of water and
seizes its hydrogen, forming hydraulic
acid. The oxygen set free by this re-
action is transformed into ozone, which
in its turn, lays hold of hydrogen
present in organic matter.

Weighted Silks-M. J. Pierson states
that an increase of weight is produced
in silks by treatment with salts of ir on
and astringents, and with salts of
tin and cyanides; this factitiOus in
crease of weight may be carried to the
extent of from 100 to 300 per cent. 1t
cannot be too widely known that, by
this adulteration, silk is rendered very
infiammable, and undercertain circum-
stances, spontaneously so.

The Utilty Of Bdrns.-Millions of dol
lars are lost every year by the want of
good barns. Grain and hay are stacked
out in the fields, exposed to the vicissi-
tudes of the seasons and damaged ma
terially in this manner. Stock fed on
damaged provender are never i'm good
condition and are liable to various dis
eases The waste and destruction caused
in this way would probably pay % per

ment of money in barns on every farm
In the West. In fact, barns hre indies
pensable appendages to every farm, and

Publication Of Hen Houses.-As the
hot season advances, poultry keepers
should not neglect the publication of
the fowl house. Proper sanitary meas
ures must be taken, or health and sue
cessful poultry raising cannot be ex-
pected, nor is it deserved. Lime is an
excellent purifier, and when carbOlic
acid is added to the whitewash, will
effectually keep away vermin from the
walls. After every cleaning of the floor
it should be sprinkled with carbOlic
acid, dilute twenty of water to one of
acid. This is one of the best disin-
fectants and antiseptics known and Is
not used as much as il deserves. The
roOsts should be sprinkled with it every
week. This whitewashing should be
done twice at least, better three times
a year. The nests of sitting hens should
be sprinkled with carbolic acid to keep
off vermin; and the cOOps also where
young brOOds are kept for a time should
be purified in this way. If hen gets
lousy, this dilute acid will destroy them
by putting it under their wings, on
head and neck. Wood ashes are ex-
cellent to be kept in fowl houses for
hens to dust themselves with. This is
much more effectual than sand, but
sand should also be kept for bath.
Without proper attention to these
matters, poultry keepers cannot expect
to succeed.

Hon 10 make oppletrees bear erery yedr.-
One of the most successful applegrowers
in the county, Mr.. Robert Peil of Ulster
Co., n. j., resolved to have his large
orchard bear every year. This is how
he secured that result:
Commonly speaking, the apple tree
bears every alternate year. Mr.. Peilde-
termined to have an annual harvest, and
TO give his orchard a handsome start he
sacrificed the crop of bearing year.
All the apples were picked while green.
He discovered that the germ of next
years fruit was in existence at the time
of the apple harvest, but that the tree
would be so exhausted that this germ
would fail of development, and year
of rest would follow before another
crop could be produced. Having stop
ped his trees from fruiting in the man
ner mentioned, he was sure of a crop
on what was generally the off-year, and
he determined to follow this up by a
treatment which should abolish the off
year system. He learned that trees re-
quire variety of food, the chief OF
which is found in potash, lime and soda,
and his orchard has been thus fed with
all the success that could have been an
ticipated. The potash is found i'm wood
ashes, lime is obtained from oyster shells
at low cost, (stone lime being undesira-
ble), while soda is supplied by common
salt. Orchards thus fed and judiciously
pruned cannot fail of success, and they
Will bear every year with hardly a fail
ure, if thus fed, and the crop of apples
is not allowed to be too large. The thin
ming out of fruit should be practiced
not only for this end, but to ensure the

ChaH as Source Of Heat.-The util-
izatiOn of chalk, such as is found in
natural beds, as source of heat, of
which so much has been said lately, is
pronounced by the Scientific 1meTiodn,
in an able discussion of the subject, as
not feasible process. lt says that, by
heating at high temperature. the ma
terial may be decomposed, and it alb
serbs an amount of heat, equivalent Ito
that produced at the moment of COM
binatiOn-carbOnic acid and lime re-
suit, and these themselves are also
burnt bodies, neither of which indi-
vidually produce heat I; that if the car
bOnic acid, after contact with an lncan-
descent cOmbustible, is transformed in
to carbOnic oxide, it Is simply through
the absorption of exactly the quantity
of heat which would be produced by
the transformation of cal IbOnic acid !;
and thus, theoretically and according
to all present chemical ideas, it is inn
possible to conceive that lime, no mat
ter in what form it be utilized, can be
source of heat. In accounting for
the advantageous results which are
claimed to have been secured by an
admixture of chalk with bituminOus
coal and various earthly substances
starting with the well known fact that,
in domestic heating, the types of ap-
paratus commonly employed are the
CRATE and the stove-it is shown that
grate-fire utilizes about One-tenth of
the heat developed by the combustible,
that is, about this fraction goes to
warm the room, while the remaining
nine-tenths escapes up chimney. 1t is
radiant heat that warns the apartment;
N nv nnIY hal a
with the fuel. the combustion is retar-
ded, the chalk, by absorbing portion
of the heat which would otherwise be
lost, serves to increase the radiating
surface, and thus probably augments
the quantity of heat utilized. In stoves,
also an analogous state of affairs exists.

Clothing the Sick.-Proper clothing is
of the utmost importance to every in
valid; and the best clothing is that
which is best adapted for this purpose.
For this reason wOOlen or silk Is
superior to cotton or linen in the cold
seasons. Yet we do not advise wOOlen
to be worn next the skin, because of
its irritating qualities. Cotton flannel
drawers and undershirts are superior
in this respect; but wOolen outer gar
ments, and even wOolen socks are
better than cotton or linen.
The color of clothing has much to do
with its healthfulness. No invalid can
Justify himself in wearing cOlOred cloth
ing next the skin. The dye is usually
more or less absorbed, and is always
injurious, frequently poisonous. In
deed, we question its prOpriety, on the
score of health, at any time or in any
place. True, black absOrbs and retains
heat, while white reflects it. giving to
white less heat-retaining quality than
black yet nevertheless, white or light
colored clothing we consider superior
to dark color. For Summer weather
there is no question as to its superiority,
nor for inner garments.
The limbs and extremities claim from
every invalid and physician especial at
tentiOn. Not one invalid in thousand
succeeds in having his feet, legs, hands,
and arms well clad. Among women
the dress usually worn is outrageous,
considered from the standpoint of
health, and among men it is only a
little less so. The central portions of
the body are Overburdened often with
clothing, while the limbs are almost
always insuificiently clad. The shoes
are thin, stockings delicate, pants fine.
ODd only lined around the waist, while
over abdomen and lOins the clothing is
doubled or trebled. How can any one
expect to regain health under such cir
cumstances. Health depends upon a
balanced circulation, and the blood cir
culates from within. AS power begins
to diminish, the circulation fails in the
extremities and the blood is retained
in and about the central organs. Cloth
ing retains heat, and heat retains blood !;
so where most clothing is. there, other
things being equal, the most blood will
be found. To call blood into the ex-
tremlties and external capillaries is one
of the important objects of all good
treatment, and proper clothing is a
necessary adjunct. Let no one fear that
his limbs will be too well clad; let him
rather remember the old physician's
advice: Keep the feet warm, the head
cool, and the bowels free, and you will
have no need of a physician.-Science

AGRICULrURAL.

Management Of Geese.-Geese are nat
urally great wanderers. and for. that
reason they require home of their
own; especially when harvest time ap-
breaches does this need most appear.
If allowed to run they destroy much
more than they are worth. A small
piece of pasture land through which
runs brook, is best calculated for geese
even if the brook is small, they will
love it, and with sticks and leaves dam
it up until they have a convenient place
to wash and dive; they love to keep
clean. During the laying season, which
commences as early as March, feed corn,
buckwheat, oats, etc. if cooked and fed
warm it is much better. Geese also
dearly love crumbs from the table, such
as pancakes and potatoes, cut into small
pieces and fed warm; feed this once a
day, and the above mentioned once a
day, as much as they will eat without
leaving any. A little salt on their food
improves it; also quantity of loppsred
milk, if you have it, added after the
food is cooked.
If you have no nice little house for
the goose make her her nest in, place a
barrel in an elevated part of her lot or
home, turn it on its side, place the open
end of it toward the south; put i'm few
quarts of horse manure; over this place
plenty of straw; she requires enough to
lay her eggs npon and cover them with,
for she never leaves them uncovered.
My word for it, Goosie will not refuse
such a place for her nest, at least |
never knew her to. She generally LAYS
two littPrS of pUOS each spasOn-from
five to twelve in a litter. When she
shows signs of sitting, give her twelve
to thirteen to sit upon: do not let her
sit before the middle of April, or, better
still, the first of May. Goslings are
tender bird and do not thrive well in
chilly weather. After the goose has
been sitting one month look out for the
goslings; they are of handsome green
color; as they come out of the shell and
sit close to their mother they are pretty
sight. About that time the gander will
fight as if he meant to kill everything
that comes near.-Rurdl Ne,o Yorker.
