Ingenious Astronomical Instrument.-
The hellostat is the name given to
what appears to be one of the most in
geniously devised as well as useful as
Economical Instruments. 1t is made
from n marine clock, capable of run
ming like watch in any position; the
hands being removed, a pulley of one
half-Inch diameter is slipped on to the
arbOr of the hour hand. and on the
woodwork at the top of the clock are
fastened bearings for a small shaft,
carrying at its upper end the plane
mirror intended 70 follow the move
ment of the sun. On this shaft is a
pulley one inch in diameter, deriving
motion from the pulley on the hour
hand arbor by cord. A support at
tached to the side of the clock carries
subsidiary mirror directly above the
revolving mirror. The clock is hung
on a board hinged so as to be capable
of elevation TO an angle equal to the
complement of the latitude. The
face of the clock is turned to the north.
The revolving mirror is adjusted to
the declinatiOn of the sun so as to re-
fleet the ray to the north, and the ray
is thus received on the subsidiary mir
TOR, which reflects 1t in any direction
that may be required.

THOSE anxious to get rid of freckles
can make compound which commonly
removes them if they will crate horse
radish fine, let it stand few hours in
buttermilk, and strain it and use it to
wash night and morning. Or squeeze
the juice of lemon in goblet of
water and use in the same way. The
regime should be attended to, and should
be of such nature that the bowels and
kidneys will do their duty. Daily bath
ing with much friction should not be
neglected, and the Turkish bath taken
occasionally, if it is convenient.

CURRANT JELLY.-Proportions, one
pound of sugar to each pint of juice.
Squeeze the currants and boil the juice
twenty minutes; then add the sugar,
which should be heating while the juice
boils. Stir well together until the sugar
is all dissolved, which will probably be
as soon as boiling begins again, and
your jelly will then be done. The color
is brighter and the flavor much finer
than in the old-fashioned way of boiling
sugar and juice together. This receipt
has been well tested.

NTTRoGENoUs M,NUREs.-The chief
supply of nitrogen on the farm is found
in the urine of animals. the dung of
fowls and skim milk, unless a fellow
has money to swap for fish scrap,
woolen dust or some other manufac-
turer's waste containing nitrogen. In
saving urine considering labor and the
chance of evaporation) that is most
completely economical which falls fresh
upon the grass. Our summer barn
yards waste nitrogen extravagantly.
1t may be better to have a movable
shelter to milk under in the pasture.
and fetch the milk rather than the
cows home. The hennery should be so
dry as to cure the droppings of the
fowls while fresh and unfermented.
While we have been using skim milk
as a special fertilizer, pork has about
doubled in price. Whoever has fix
lures for the business will feel encour-
aged TO make more pork, but those who
have fine fruit plantations lacking nj
trogen may see a better market for
their waste milk by spreading it around
their trees and plants.-Hdruord Conn.,

To Cook SQUAsH.-Summer squashes,
if very young, may be boiled whOle-if
not, they should be pared, quartered
and the seeds taken out. When boiled
very tender, take them up, put them in
strong cloth and press out all the
water-mash them, salt and butter them
to taste. The neck part of the winter
squash is the best. Cut it in narrow
strips, take off the rind, and boil the
squash in salt and water until tender
then drain off the water and let the
squash steam over a moderate fire for 10
or II minutes. 1t is good not mashed.
If mashed, add little butter.

WHAT GEN. WASHINGTON SAID.-On
the 10th of December, 1179, Washing
ton wrote to the manager of his farm ::
Economy in all things is as commenda-
bic in the manager as it is beneficial
and desirable to the employer; and, on
a farm, it shows itself in nothing more
evidently, or more essentially, than in
not suffering the provender to be wasted
but, on the contrary, in taking care
that every atom of it be used to the best
advantage; and, likewise, in not per-
mitting the plows, harness and other
implements of husbandry, and the
gears belonging to them, to be unne-
cessarily exposed, trodden under loot,
run over by carts, and abused in other
respects. More good is derived from
attending to the minuti8 of farm,
than strikes people at first view; ana
examing the farm-yard fences. and
looking into the fields to see that notn-
ing is there but what is allowed to be
there, and oftentimes is the means of
producing much good, or at least of
avoiding much evil"

FArTENING A CALF.-A lady CORES
pondent writing to the Germdnto,on Tel
egraph, gives her method of raising veal
calves without feeding the cream with
the milk.
my principal object is to show far
mers and others that they can raise or
even veal their calves without giving
them the new milk fresh from the COW.
The best food to fatten calf, without
whole milk, is oil-meal, molasses and
skim-milk for the first two weeks, after
which little oat or barley-meal may
be used. A calf can be made to weigh
40 to 40 pounds at four weeks old,
never having had any new milk after
the cows milk was good. The oil-meal
should be scalded and allowed to form
a thick mucilage before eating mixed
with the skinned milk. The molasses
may be added directly to the milk, and
the whole may be given blood-warm.
The proper quantity for young calf Is
tablespoonful of oil-meal, the same of
molasses, divided into three parts for
one DAYS feed added TO the milk. After
the first week, it may be gradually in
creased, and at the commencement of
the third week teaspOonful of oil-meal
and molasses may be given to each feed
a quart of boiling water being turned
on 10 the meal over night, and also in
the morning TO form a mucilage, and a
spoonful of oat or barley meal should
be added, but this should be cooked.
At present prices, the whole feed will
not cost more than 81 for five weeks,
and an early calf of the weight men,
- hi, Tn L
raised one late in the season, two years
ago, by the above method, that cost
less than 81 for feed, aside from the
SKINNED milk, and it brought nearly
SO. Should they have scours, give
them a tea made by boiling corn-cobs
in water and add to the milk"

the beginning of the observations it
was about the size of small child's
head. and it was always nearly spheri
cal in shape. Its girth on the 10th of
July was 20 centimetres, and on the
23d of the same month it was sixty-twO
centimetres. During the time of OBJ
servatiOn there was rain daily.

LINE AND SALT ON 0RCHARDs.-Wm.
ID. Shipman, of Hartford, CT. has made
an experiment in the use of oyster
shell lime with salt about apple and
pear trees. A liberal dressing was
given to the garden plat in which the
trees stood, early in the spring, and
shaded in. about one, a Winter
Nellis pear tree, it was omitted, and
the result was pears of not half the size
of the same kind on other trees.) The
crop of fruit was large and of most ex-
cellent quality, from all the trees thus
treated. The fruit on one or two trees
the previous year was so small and
gnarly that they were destined for fire
wood; but, treated in the way described
these trees produced fruit, large, fair,
delicious and abundant.

AGRICULTURAL.

WHAT IT PAYS TO Do.-It pays to
manage the farm with economy, and
this is brought about, not so much by
economizing in one important particu-
lar, as in many. 1t will pay TO keep
the fence corners clean, SO that grass
will grow in them, and so that your
neighbor will not take offence because
of the thistle and other foul seeds that
you allow to mature and find their way
into his cleanly kept fields. 1t will pay
to build cheap gates, as they will save
enough valuable time in the busy sea-
son of the year to pay the expenses of
constructing them many times over.
1t will always pay to have wood and
water handy and near the kitchen. 1t
will pay to build the dwelling house
with the view Of saving steps.
In constructing and remodeling their
houses, farmers would do well to con-
suit their wives, for they would sug-
gest ideas by which the home could be
made more convenient. 1t will pay to
use more paint, indoors and out. 1t will
do to encourage the children. Give
them an occasional day for recreation.
Give the boys a colt or calf to raise,
and let them have the money it is sold
for, TO invest in some way that meets
with your approval. 1t will pay to
make home so attractive that 1t will al
ways be pleasant for the man to think
over his boyhood days. A pleasant
home will make better boys and better
men. 1t will pay to supply the house
with an abundance of good reading
matter, such as agricultural papers etc.
and as good library as one can afford.
1t will pay to plant and cultivate fruit
trees of all kinds. Plenty of good fruit
promotes health and longevity. Finally
it will pay to do all the things We have
enumerated, and an hundred others
that are now neglected, which many of
us would do if We could only take time
to think.-COlendn' Rural World.
