HENNERY BUILDING. - We advise
every man to build a hennery on the
same principle that a farmer would
build a barn; first for comfort, second
for convenience, and then add as much
for elegance and style as he is willing
TO pay for. But such IN expense should
not be carried to the business account,
to be settled out of the profits of the
stock, but rather to the account of orna-
ment, TO be paid in the owners salts
faction at fine appearances.
The plan we would adopt for a poul-
try house is this: Build on southerly
slope, if you can. Dig out for a back
wall, TO be cemented up; then lay upon
it a shed roof, the roof and sides shin
gled, with tarred paper between the
boards and shingles. 1t should be ten
feet high in front and five in the rear.
Ga the inside have a walk three feet
wide running the whole length, high
enough from the ground to let the fowls
under, to scratch and 60 out into the
yard. Lay a floor over the rest with
the roosts on the back part with the
shelves under them to catch the drop
pings, so arranged as to be removed and
cleaned once a week. The nests for
large hens should be a foot high, and
small at the entrance, running back two
feet. With such nests as these, hens
seldom learn to eat eggs. Fasten the
nests on the partition which separates
the walk from the coop. A building
thirty feet long and fifteen feet wide
may be separated into three rooms,
large enough for twenty-five fowls to a
room. Such a building can be put up
for fifty dollars, and is worth as much
IOr all practical purposes as the most
elegant building, while everybody that
can afford to keep good fowls can afford
such a hennery.

MUsTY coffee-pots and tea.pots may
be cleansed and sweetened by putting
a good quantity of wood ashes into them
and filling up with water. Set on the
stove to heat gradually till the water
boils, Let it boil a short time, then set
aside to cool, when the inside should be
faithfully washed and scrubbed in hot
soap-suds, using a small brush, that
every spot may be reached, then scald
two or three times, and wipe till dried.
1t must be a desperate case if the vessel
are not found perfectly clean if this
advice is strictly followed. Pots and
pans or plates that have been used for
baking and have become rancid, may
be cleanSed in the same way. Put the
plates into a pan with wood ashes and
cold water, and proceed as above stated.
If no wood ashes can be had take soda.
If cooks would clean their pie-plates
and baking dishes after this fashion
after using, they would keep sweet all
the time.

GRICULTURAL

CULTIVATION VS.. MAHUREs.-ln pass
ing through the country one matter Of
neglect is quite noticeable; the cultiVa-
ton Is behind-hand. Not only are the
gardens full of weeds, but the corn and
potatoes exhibit a want Of thorough
culture. There Is no royal road to a
clean garden and clean fields Of hOed
crops. Smoothing over occasionally
will never answer. The horse and cul-
tivatOr must be employed continuously
and t. some purpose. The only way is
20 begin early and keep at 1t. The main
difference in size of corn and potatoes
through the country Is not produced by
the difference in the amount Of fertili-
gers employed half as much as through
the lack of timely and thorough cultiva.
tion I'm a large number of cases.
1t is quite noticeable that when a
large amount Of manure Is put upon
land the weeds grow more abundantly
and with great thriftiness, so that
though manure may take the place of
cultivation In one sense, in another,
highly MANFRED ground requires even
more cultivation TO keep the food in the
right channels of growth.
However, the best thing a man can do
upon land that is not very good In order
to secure growth Is TO make his tillage
as perfect as possible. The writer has
had a little experience in growing trees
without manure. The farm and garden
required all the manur that could be
obtained. Our trees were upon poor
soil, so poor that aJune grass sod would
not form, and in lieu Of fertilizers, the
cultivator was used; once in ten days,
all through the growing season for n
year these trees were cultivated and a
thriftier lot were never seen in any soil
or with any treatment. The secret lies
in the fact that trees need a vast amount
Of moisture to support their growth
the cultivator passing through the soil
so often keeps the soil open and in con-
dition to hold the moisture near the
surface where the roots could partake Of
il; and again the pulyerizatiOn of the
soil was just the process to fit the ele
ments of plant growth for the use of the
trees.

BASTARD CLOVER AS FooD.-In an
article published in an Austrian agri-
cultural paper, Herr Moritz Rohrmann
warns agriculturists generally against
the use of Swedish or bastard clover as
food for horses. In a dry state they re-
fused entirely to eat it, although the
hay "was well made, of good color, and
an agreeable SMELL" but several years
later, his hay being short, he again
offered it to his horses; this time, how
ever, in a green state. "They ate it UNI
willingly and but sparingly and rapidly
fell off in condition. Soon an inlam-
nation of tina mucous (or lining) men,
brane of the mouth appeared, which to-
gether with the tongue, become covered
with little pustules. These, on bursting
left small, superficial sores covered with
u yellow emulation which gradually in
creased in depth all over the tongue and
gums. This condition of the mouth
necessitated a change of food, and the
horses rapidly recovered" No connec-
ton between this forage and the disease
was at that time suspected. Atterward,
however certain facts which came to
his knowledge induced him to expert
ment upon its action, when he found
that by alternately giving and with
holding the fodder in question, he was
able to produce or dispel at will symp-
toms exactly similar to those observed
earlier and described abOve.-ScientihC
Farmer.

HEALTHFULNKss OF LEMoNs.--When
people feel the need of an acid, If they
would let vinegar alone and use lemons
or o u apples, they would feel just as
well satisfied and receive no injury.
And a good suggestion may not come
amlss as a good plan, when lemons are
cheap in the market. A person should
in these times purchase several dozen
at once and prepare them for use In the
warm days of summer, when acids,
especially cltric and malic, or acids of
lemons and ripe fruits are so grateful
and useful. Press your hand on the
lemon and roll il briskly on the table to
make it squeeze more cas- ly, then press
the juice into a bowl or tumbler (never
into a TIM; strain out all the seeds, as
they give a bad taste. A few minutes
boiling is sufficient. Put a pound OF
white sugar to a pint of juice, boil three
minutes, bottle 1t, and your lemonade
is ready. Put a tablespoonful Of this
lemon syrup in a glass of water and
you have a cooling, healthful drink.

How TO PRESERVE E~GGs.-Among all
the discoveries Of the present century
there is nothing new In preserving
eggs. The old method Of packing them
on their small ends In a vessel and then
illing it with lime water Is still prac-
ticed. The lime-watcr should be sailed,
as a quart OF salt TO a pailfll Of lime
water, which is made by shaking some
lime, then add water enough 10 have IL
sufficiently thin to run among the eggs
freely, and when IL has settled turn of
the clear liquid, add the salt, and II Is
ready for use. Eggs preserved in this
way six months or longer are not as
good as fresh eggs, and there is no way
TO keep them that time and be as good
as those that are freshly laid. But a
better way for preserving eggs In small
quantities, as for family use, is to take
fine salt and pack the eggs In 1t in
layers, the small ends down, filling up
the spaces between the eggs with salt.
Keep the vessel in a dry place, or the
salt will become moist. Eggs may be
thus kept six or nine months, and they
will be as good as it is possible for them
to be by any known preseryative.

AdulteratiOn Of Bread and Flour With
Gypsum. HeaUy Spar, Etc.-A ROtter-
dam firm has been recently offering
finely ground gypsum to various
millers in the province of Hanover. To
detect such frauds Vohl mixes 10
grams of the flour with 20 grains of
potash saltpetre, places the mixture in
a platinum vessel, and ignites with a
redhot platinum wire. If the flour is
pure the pale green melted mass dis
solves almost entirely in water, and the
solution, scarcely turbid, gives no pre-
cipitate with hydrochloric acid, which,
fit appears, indicates the presence of
~silicates. The acidulated solution
should give barium chloride merely a
slight turbidlty. A decided preclpitate
indicates the presence Of suIphate OF
lime or of baryta.
