NEW VARIETIES OF PoTAToEs.-It re-
quires time, patience, ard perseverance
to raise potatoes from the seed; but if
you succeed in producing good vari-
ETY. il will pay you well for your
trouble. Raise your own seed. Choose
fully matured, medium sized potatoes,
of the earliest and best varieties; cut
them transversely in the middle; plant
only the seed end, with the eyes up
ward; plant in drills about thirty
inches apart, placing the pieces about
ten inches apart in the drills; putting
the varieties zone of the varieties must
be seed bearing) alternately. Planted
in this way have had non seed bear
ing varieties, such as peach blow, early
rose, ETC., bear seed balls. Cultivate in
the usual way. When the seed balls
are formed, pinch Off from each vine
all but two or three balls. In the fall.
when the vines are mostly dead, gather
the balls. press out the seeds and dry
them in the sun; when they are thor
oughly dry, put them where they will
keep dry. In the spring SOW the seeds
either in glass covered boxes or in the
open air. When the plants are about
two inches high, plant them in drills
about two feet apart, and about two
feet apart in the drills. Cultivate them
well. When the vines are mostly dead
dig the potatoes, each hill by itself.
Reject all very small, i'll shaped or un-
healthy tubers. Do likewise the second
and third years; the fourth year they
will be eatable and their quality deter
mined.

.Soluent for Rubber.-This new SOL
vent consists of mixture of methyla-
ted ether and petroleum spii1t-the
common benzolene used for burning
in sponge lamps. This forms the most
rapid and, perhaps, the best solvent We
have tried the mixture is as much su-
pelior in power to either of its cOnsti-
tuents singly as the ether-alcohOl is to
plain ether in its action on pyroxylin.
We make very thick solution by DIS
solving sixty grains of good india rub
Der in two ounces of benzOline and one
ounce of sulphuric ether. If the india
rubber be cut up fine and the mixture
shaken occasionally, the solution will
be complete in two or three hours,
when it may be diluted to any required
strength with benzoline alone. The
india rubber should be as light cOlOred
as possible, and all the outer Oxidized
portions must be cut away. Shred the
clean india rubber with pair of scis-
sors, and throw it at once into the SOL
vent.-Brifish Journal Of Photography.

!SuIphite and Sulphdte Of Lime.-We
sometimes refer to the fact that the in
stable salt, sulphite of lime, has the
property OF preserving the juice of the
apple and grape sweet indefinitely !:
but by placing an IA" for an '1' the
paragraph is made to give false intOr-
nation, do what We may to prevent IT..
The sulpiiate of lime has no effect on
sweet cider OF sweet juice of the grape,
no more than pure sand. The differ
ence between the sulphate and sulphite
of lime is that the latter is sulphurous
acid combined with lime, and the for
mer Is sulphuric acid united TO the
same base. The difference between
sulphurous and sulphuric acid is that
the latter contains twice as much OXy-
gen as the former. There is a tenden-
cy in sulphites to absorb more oxygen
and pass over into sulphates; and 1t is
this withdrawal of oxygen from fruit
juices that arrests fermentation and
preserves them in their natural state.
The quantity of sulphite of lime to
be used To the gallon or barrel of cider,
to keep 1t sweet, varies with the char
acter of the fruit and the possible I'M
purity of the salt of lime One may ex-
pertinent on must or new cider, and
test the materials he has to deal with.

HOUSEKEEPING CLOTHEs.-Every sort
of cookery should be done in a dress
that will wash, with a clean apron over
it and the hair covered up. To those
this hint will seem superfluous; but
having lately seen lady making pies
in an old black silk dress, trimmed
with Grape, and every crease full of
flour, we give the caution. All old silks
are useful for lining; but once worn to
make pies or cake in, it will be so de-
faced as to lose nearly half its value.

Portland Cement on WoOdUOrk. -
Portland cement has many uses in the
garden and elsewhere, not generally
apparent. Some of them are enumer-
ated by the Garden as follows: When
made into thin solution like white
wash, this cement gives woodwork all
the appearance of having been painted
and sanded. Piles of stone may be set
together with common mortar, and
then the whole washed over with this
cement, making it look like one i'm
mense block of gray sandstone. For
temporary use, flour barrel may have
the hoops nailed, so as not to fly apart,
and the inside washed with a thin
paste of Portland cement, and it will
serve for a year or more TO hold water.
Boards nailed together and washed
with it make good hot water tanks; and
it is of use in SO many ways that it may
be regarded as one of those peculiar
things in a garden which it is always
good to have at hand.

How TO CLEAN MARBLE TOP FURNI-
TURE.-lt may be of some value to
housekeepers who have marble top fur
niture, to know that the common solution
Of gum arabic is an excellent absorbent,
and will remove dirt, &C., from marble.
The receipt is from the Scientific AHeri-
can, and the mode of application is thus
stated by that paper: First. Brush
the dust off the piece to be cleaned, then
apply with brush a good coat of gum
arabic, about the consistency of thick
office mucilage, expose it to the sun or
dry wind, or both. In a short time it
will crack and peel off. If all the gum
should not peel off, wash it with clean
water and clean cloth. OF course, if
the first application does not have the
desired effect it should be applied again.
Second. Make paste with soft soap
and whiting, wash the marble with it,.
and then leave "A coat of paste upon il
for two or three days. Afterward wash
of with warm mot hot) water and soap.

To Dispose Of Curcul,os.-A cores
pondent of the Ohio Farmer states that
he kept a plum tree from curculiOs by
sprinkling the ground under the tree
with corn meal This induced the
chickens to scratch and search. The
meal was strewn every morning, from
the time the trees blOssOmed until the
fruit was large enough to be ont of
danger. The consequence was that
the fowls picked up the curculiOs with
the meal, and the tree, being saved
from the presence of the insects, was
wonderfully fruitful.
