GarRish a Little, for Locks.

There are far too many housewives
who have so much 10 do tsat they
think they cannot spend time to
make the table attractive in appearance.
Now, this is certainly mistake, for 1t
would require no appreciable amount OF
time or labor to'pdll few strawberry
leaves when gathering the fruit, and a
few OF these slipped IN and around the
dish, when placed upon the table, add
much to the general good appearance of
the berries. The same is true with 9TH
er dishes. A few leaves Of some kind,
here and there, or few sprigs Of box
or smilaX, or similar smooth-leayed ev-
ergreens, can always be employed to adj
vantage, IN summer or winter, in gar
nishing dishes Of fruits, or even cold Or
warm meats. Those who have never
used these tri1ilng additions can scarce
ly appreciate their artistic effect among
the more solid appointments Of very
plain and economical meal.
1t is in such little things as the gar
nishing ofdishes and neat arrangement
of things in general which go upon the
table, that the good housewife can show
her taste and superiority over the poor
one;for money will purchase grand CHI
na sets, the best silYer-ware, fine cut
glass, and other handsome adjuncts to
grandeur. but alas! the pig is a pig
still, although he sleeps in a rosewood
sly and has diamond rings in his ears.
The same will hold good among the
genus homo, for, while wealth may be
very convenient, and enable one to pur-
chase position itf> society and many
comforts and luXuries, it cannot make
ladies and gentlemen, for they are the
products Of birth and education, andWill
ever show their character, whatever
position they may be called upon to
fiji.
1t is to those who possess the taste
but, through circumstances, have tailed
to show or cultivate it, that we appeal
in this matter of improving the appear
ance of the table at meal time, by lit
tie cheap, innocence but attractive gar
niture. One soon gets into the habit of
exercising good taste in arrangement,
and where there is a family Of children.
many useful lessons may be learnd, the
influence of which may pass on through
several generations.
To make the most Of what one has, is
the highest kind Of wisdom, and pew
ter mug may be kept clean, if not as
bright, as one made of the purest sill
yer.

FARM AND FiREsIEDE
ERopy MIR.

e have received from a distinguished
gentleman, who has great deal OF ac-
curate knowledge and scientific training,
the following: "Ropy milk is an alb
normal secretion, which is ascribed tol
the..excess of albumen. This substance
always, is you know, present in the
blood, sometimes finds its way in too
great quantity into more than one OF
the other animal fluids. That it should
have done sois evidence Of course OF
functional arrangement, the cure of
which is confessedly obscure. During
an experience of u years with dairy
OILS COWS, the milk of which passed
almost daily my personal inspection, it
was never ropy but in single instance,
and that l ascribed to impurity Of wafer
drank by the COW. Her milk was
thrown to the pigs, and heaped table
spoonful Of equal parts Of saltpetre and
sulphur put in her mess. Care was
taken with her mess. Care was taken
with her drink, and her milk returned to
its proper consistence. l did not use
the microscope, but would consel its
employment in order to test the truth
Of the opinion ofsome authorities, that
to the growth Of fungus. derived from
impure water, the ropy character may
be due-an opinion which I do not
share"
Practical farmers advise emptying
notwithstanding the water troughs
frequently-and the use ofgypsumin the
drinking water. Others advise the adj
ministration of tincture Of acenite for
ropy milk.
We have been favored with copious
and frequent rains in the vicinity OF
Philadelphia. Hay is selling at So
SIS per ton. Corn is making lusty
growth. My farmer is producing 25C
quarts (beer measure) of milk, and only
can get 2 cents per quart. Millet is
being very generally tried by tanners
hereabouts with great success, though
the catchy weather troubles them in the
making. Goodwin's Reciprocating
Mower is being tested by committee
Of the Franklin Institute, who will give
judicial opinion as to this new method
of converting the slow rotary motion O
tie wheel into the quick reclprocatng
motion of the knife. H P. S.

BEE EATERS mooted question
as to whether toads eat bees has been
settled.by NJ. Bruner, a writer in La
Nature, who asserts that, going into his
garden one day, just before storm, OBJ
served the bees crowding into their
hives. Near one of the hives was a
toad which every now and then rose on
his forelcgs and made dart, with sur
prising quickness, towards blades Of
grass. He was found to be devouring
bees which were resting on the grass
blades awaiting their chance to enter the
hive. NJ. Brunei awaited until twelve
victims had been devoured, expecting
to see the toads voracity punished with
a sting, but no such result occurred. The
toad was twice removed to quite dis
lance from the hives, put both times
he returned to the spot in few
hours.

1t is also cause Of much mental de-

KEEPING CIDER.-Let me give you
and your readers receipt for preparing
cider, that have found superior to any
method I have tried. After cleansing
it of impurities by filtering or otherwise,
draw of into clean cask-a whisky
barrel or wine cask is good. For 40
gallons take l quart Of alcohol and add
to it OF. each of oil of wintergreen,
sassafras and cinnamon; shake up and
pour into the cider; bung up and shake
the barrel gently, and let it stand to
cure. Age adds to its quality; although
it seldom keeps long, unless abstinence
is one Gifts owners virtues.

The Potato Rot Appears,
BY BYRON D. HALSTED.

In passing along field Of potatoes
to-day. noticed that the warm rains
aud muggy weather of the past few days
had developed very successfully the
PeronoSpora infeStdaS, or Potato Rot.
In the visitation Of this pest, which has
proved so disastrous to the potato crop
in year past, what can be done: AS
this letter cannot reach the farmer until
the first week in September, he will
| find any suggestions here given little
behind hand for any vines now affected.
But to do the best we can we will sup
pose it is on time. In the first place
what is this rot? 1t is a little parasitic
plant of the Fungus order which lives
upon the substance Of the potato. 1t is
first noticed on the under side OF the
leaves, in the form ola light frost, rap
idly spreading and turning the foliage
brown as it spreads through the plant.
The threads of the little plant are sent
stealing through the tissue Of the leaf.
afterwards passing down the stems and
finally reaching the tubers.
The frosty appearance OF the affected
leaves is due to multitude Of threads
which pass out the breathing pores Of
the leaves and then branch and bear q
multitude of spores. 1t is these spores
which rapidly propagate and spread the
disease when it has once made lis ap'
| pearance i'll a potato field.
What is to be done? is soon cs til.
zines s8ole this frosty appearance, ~itt q
cur7ing and b1achenjag Of the .tdHoge,h'4
potatoes Should DC dug. thus removing
the tubers before the rot plant has reach
ed them.
But you may say. as the gentleman
who owns the field l saw sadly affected
this morning said,-"Iho potatoes ar(
not quite ripe"
How much more will they mature
when in a day or so the leaves ard vines
will be dead and PROSTATE on Tx
ground?
This fungus IS very rapid in It's work
and is it not best to save your potatoes
even if they are not as large as the,
would have have been had the rot no
visited you.
But besides saving your potatoes yol
should have thought Of the years t.
come. and do all you can to prevent th(
appearance Of the pest another year
therefore, burn all the tops aad affected
tubeTs should there aIF6ady be any. Al
ter being dug the potatoes should b.
kept in dry, cool place.
The early yarities generally do best
as they got through the most critica
period Of their growth before the fungu:
appears. Plant on new ground if pos
sible, at least, not where potatoes whicl
rotted grew last year. The soil should
be naturally dry, or well drained.
We hope the rot is not to be espe'
cially severe.thls year. but the weethcl
for the past week has greatly favored
It's Growth.

A Cup CO Coffee.

To make a good cup Of coffee, and
especial art is requisite. Many women
who pride themselves, and justly, upon
their skill, fail here. For early risers
and those who require an early break
fast, there is asmode Of making coffee
so generally practised as to be almost
universal in this country, and that is
simply to boil the ground coffee for a
few minutes and then either settle the
grounds with cold water or give them
time to settle gradually. This mode can
be greatly improved by cork, cloth or
paper, thus preventing the escape ofthe
steam, which arises from the boiling
coffee. By the escape of the steam we
lose much of the aromatic flavor that
renders-cof'ee so palatable. Let those
who cook coffee after this method try
this plan they will find a vast improve
ment.
An eminent chemist recommends the
following as favorite way Of making
this now universal beverage: Three
fourths of the coffee should be boiled
and the remaining fourth infused attel
which the whole should be mixed. BY
this means both the strength and the
flavor are increased. To preserve the
flavor of ground coffee it should be wei
with the Syrup Of sugar, in this way thl
yolitile parts Of the coffee are prevented
from escaping. AS heretofore said,col
fee.afte being roasted, should be kept
excluded. from the air and kept in DR.,
place if not used at once, as it absorbs
moisture from the atmosphere and grad
ually loses its flavor.

HORSE TADlING.-A high spirited
horse refusing to be shod was about tc
be consigned to the plow. An officer
recently returned from Mexico, took a
cord, about the size of common bed
cord, put it in the mouth Of the horse
like bit, and tied it tightly on the
animals head, passing his left ear under
the string. not painfully tight, but tight
enough to keep the car down and the
cordin its place. This done. he pattod
the horse gently on the side Of the head
and commanded him to follow; and
instantly the horse obeyed, perfectly
subdued and as gentle and obedlent as
a well-trained dog, suffering his feet to
be lifted with impunity, acting in all re-
sperts like an old stager.
