BLACK SPors ON THE FAcE.-Little
black specks are occasionally observed
upon the nose and forehead of some
individuals. These specks, when they
exist in any number, are cause of
much unsightliness. They are minute
corks, if we may use the term, of coagu-
lated lymph, which close the orifices OF
some of the pores or exhalent vessels of
the skin. On the skin Immediately ad-
jacent to them being pressed with the
finger-nails, these bits of coagulated
lymph will come from it in vermicular
form. They are vulgarly called ''fiesh-
worms" many persons fancying them
to be living creatures. These may be
got rid of, and preventing from return
ing, by washing with tepid water, by
proper friction with towel and by the
application of little cold cream. iii =

, o, How PLANTS IEDb ON AMMONIA
i The o4orous element In manure, and
! which gives mapure its smell, is ammo
! mia, the chief component Of which Is
\ nitrogen. 1t is quite certain that plants
require nitrogen among the essential
articles of food. But for many years
there has been q discussion as to
whether ~ leaves absorbed nitrogen,
!. or whether it is only takeaFup by the
roots. 1t is said that NJ. Mayer, OF
Heidelberg, has concluded his expert
ments as to the absorption of ammonia
from the air by the leaves of plants
, soree tically, it Is possible for the
ives toUese so, butt, utt,ie e aif;asa surrcsseOi
ammonia, Is of little practical import
ance. Besides, it is next to impossible
to make plants live in an atmosphere
artificially enriched with ammonia; the
soil is the real source, and the roots the
real agents, by means of which vegeta-
ton receives its supply of ammonia.
1t Ia by no means certain, however,
that the roots are the only medium
through which the plant receives its
nitrogen. If the curious statement re-
garding carnivorous plants be true-if
there are plants which have the power
of catching insects by their leaves, and
In a certain sense eating them, 1t is
equivalent to saying that plant can
take in nitrogen by its leaves, and there
is no reason why this power may not
be extended. Indeed, those who are
known as evolutionists, will probably
contend that the power to absorb nitro
gen was possessed before insect eating I
commenced, the latter process indeed I
being but developed power dependent {
on the first. The proof, however, that ?
plants do eat insects, is not yet re- {
garded as absolutely certain. They .
catch them. This is undoubted; but
why or wherefore is by no means
clear; nor is it, indeed, made manifest
that any good whatever results to the
plant, although there is much that
favors the insectivorOus views being
developed Weekly Press.

How Much WORK HORSE CAN Do
At meeting of the British Association
at Dublin, Mr.. Charles Bianconi, of
Caspel, read letter relative to his ex-
tensive car establishment after which
a gentleman stated that at Pickford's
the great English carriers, they could
not work horse more than ten miles a
day, and wished to hear Mr.. Bianconi's
opinion on the subject. Mr.. B. stated
that he found by experience he could
better work horse eight miles a day
for six days in the week, than six miles
a day for seven days. By not working
on Sunday he effected a saving oftwelve
per cent. Mr.. Bianconi's opinion on
this point is of the highest importance,
for he has over 800 horses, working
thirty-seven conveyances, which daily
travel 4, PA miles. 1t is also the result
of forty-four years experience.

GREASE THE NALs.-One of the tech i
nical journals says: Every farmer who
has had occasion to drive nail into
seasoned oak posts know its liability to
bend and break. If the point be mois-
tened i'm the mouth it will usually drive
more kindly. Oil is still better, but
then it is inconvenient to dip each nail
separately into it. Another point OBJ
served is that boards become loose
eventually from the rusting of the
nails, which, communicating to the
wood, causes not only an enlargement
of the nail hole, but the wearing away
of the nail itself, rendering the fence or
the building shaky and insecure. This
may be prevented by heating any rough
grease until it smokes, and then pour
ing it over the nails to be used. The
grease will penetrate the pores of the
iron, and cause the nails to last, an in
definite period. Besides this, no trouble
will then be experienced in driving
them into the hardest wood. The rea-
son is that the coating of grease pre-
vents contact of air, and, consequently,
oxidation. Oxygen is the great de-
stroyer of iron. and moisture is the in
ducing cause.

FARM NoTEs AND HNTs.-Put your
money where it will do you the most
good-into your best land close at home
in such way that it will yield an
income. If you invest $50 in weather
cock on your barn it may crafty your
self and the passer by, but will not add
much to your income. A horse that
earns nothing costs $50 year at least,
and this is the interest on $500 capi-
tai. Expensive dwellings and furni-
ture are not good investments of capi-
tai.
If, by spending $1,000 in drainage
and other productive improvements,
the farmer permanently increases the
income Of his field only sixty dollars a
year, it is good investment, and he
need not look anxiously every morning
in the daily paper to ascertain whether
ii is lost or not. In annual crops, like
market truck, if the use of 800 worth
of extra manure will raise $l06 worth
of extra produce, it is fair business
transaction, as good as the savings bank
but market gardener expects and
often realizes six times six per cent. on
such an investment.

MILK.-Microscopic examination of
milk from cows kept in badly ventila-

food, shows that such milk contains
living germs, a species of fungus,
which are liable to cause such changes
in cream that it cannot be churned and
made into good, sweet butter.

i The Production of Phosphorus
4 PhosphOrus affords o remarkable in
: stance of an article, well known Tor
8 least two centuries, but which. unit
5 quite recently, possessed but little i'm
l pOrtance beyond Its mere curiosity
: The progress of science and mechan
, ltal invention, however, during th
last thirty years, has given it lare
: commercial Importance and made it q

The improvement made IN the man
ner of its production may be inferred
from the fact that in its first use in the
manufacture of lucifer matches, it was
sold at the rate of $40 per pound while
the price now does not exceed one dol
lar for the same quantity. This ecOno-
nv in its production has been brought
about through the aid of science In the
improvement of chemical processes,
whereby cheap material can be used IN

been making some further trials with
models at the swimming bath OF the
Greenwich Hospital Schools. The re-
suits which he has obtained from these
latter trials are somewhat remarkable.

type of the long narrow and the short
broad ship. both of the same displace-
ment, and being respectively 3 feet
long by II inches beam and 3 feet IL
inches long by IA inches beam, Mr..
Griffiths showed, by towing them at
the ends of cross beam, that the re-

was to that on the short one as 3 to 8.

A VERY common reason for tho s.;,
ure of muck, when used as an absorhar.
or in compost heaps, is that it has al
ready taken up all the water it can
hold. 1t should therefore be thoroughly

heaps. In building the heap, place
muck and manure in thin layers, and
use about twice as much muck as ma

TURNING OUT STOCK.-Julian Winnie
one of the most successful practical far
mers in the state, writes to the Country
Gentleman.
"Some of our farmers have a practice
which l think / should say something
about-it is the custom of turning their
cattle upon their meadows every warm
day. consider this the worst of all
practices, as the little dead stuff they
get there does them little or no good,
and it robs the roots of the little prOtec-
ton they would otherwise have from
the inclemency of the weather. l IwOuld
sooner feed my cattle Oat straw than
turn them out on my meadows. After
my cattle and sheep are brought to the
yards, when the first snow comes, they
never come out again until in the spring
and then not until there is good bite
of grass for them"
The cause of soldering in horses,
like that of milk sickness, seems to be
ascribed by many to eating clover; but

PORTABLE SoUP.-BOil one or two
knuckles of veal, one or two shins Of
beef, and three pounds of beef in as
much water only as will cover them.
Take the marrow out of the bones; put
in any sort of spice you like, and three
large onions. When the. meat is done
to rags. strain it off, and put it into a
very cold place. When cold, take OF
the cake of fat; put the soup into a
double bottomed tin saucepan, and set
it on pretty quick fire, but do not let
it burn. 1t must boil fast and uncovered,
and be stirred constantly for eight hours.
Put it into pan, and let it stand in a
cold place day; then pour it into a
round china dish, and set the dish Into
a stewpan of boiling water on the stove,
and let it boil, and be now and then
stirred till the soup is thick and ropy !;
then it is done enough. Pour 1t into
the little round part at the bottom OF
cups or basins turned upside down to
form cakes; and when cold turn them
out on flannel to dry. Keep them in
tin canisters. When they are to be
used, melt them in boiling water; and
if you wish the flavor of herbs, or any
thing else, boil it first, strain of the
water, and melt the soup in it. This is
very convenient in the country, or at
sea, where fresh meat is not always at
hand; as by this means a basin Of soup
may be made in five minutes.

1t Didn't Pay.

Senator MORTON, having been as
sailed with the charge of corruption,
white Goycrnor of Indiana, in war
times, made personal explanation
in the Senate last Wednesday. His
answer was complete and satisfac-
tory vindication of his course. But
he went further. He gave history
of the Knights of the Golden Circle,
otherwise called Democrats; how they
attempted to get possession of the
State government, and turn it over to
the aid of the rebels; and how they
refused to let him have money to
raise and equip troops. His arraign-
ment of the Democrats for their con-
duct during the early period of the
war, was severe, and evidently struck
home, for there is great uneasiness in
democratic circles in view of the ex
pose. They have concluded it is bet
ter to let the renowned War Governor
alone.
