India Ink. - Ii is often desirable to
finish photographs and drawings in
India ink, in order to get the best eff
feet, and this can be done by tasteful
person, at home, fully as well and with
greater satisfaction, than when sent to
some distant professional. The great
est trouble is the difficulty of procuring
genuine Chinese ink. The Scientific
american recently gave, in answer to a
request, the following formula for pre-
pairing perfect India ink, the formula
being copied from Riffault's treatise on
the manufacture of cOlOrs:
Calcined lampblack, 100 parts: bog
head shale black, in impalpable pow
der, 30 parts; indigo carmine, in cakes,
10 parts; carmine lake, . parts; gum
arabic first quality, 10 parts; purified
Oxgall. 90 parts; alcoholic extract of
musk, > parts.
The gum is dissolved in 80 to 60 parts
of pure water, and the solution i'll
tered through cloth. The indigo, car
mine, lake, lampblack and shale black
are Incorporated with this liquor, and
the whole ground upon slab, with a
muller, In the same manner as ordinary
colors, but i'll this case the grinding
takes much longer. When the paste is
thoroughly homogeneous, the oxgali is
gradually added, and then the alcoho-
lie extract of musk. The more the
black is ground. the finer 1t is. The
black is then allowed TO dry in the air,
until it has acquired sufficient consis-
teney to be nodded into cakes, which
in their turn are still further dried in
the air, ont of reach of dust. When
quite firm, these cakes are compressed
in bronze molds, having appropriate
designs engraved upon them. The mol
ded ink is then wrapped in tinfOil, with
a second envelope of gilt paper. The
ink which has been prepared in this
manner possesses all the properties of
real Chinese article. Its grain is smooth;
it flows very well. mixes perfectly with
many other colors, and becomes SO
firmly fixed to the paper that other col
ors may be spread over it without
washing ii out.

Miss VENEERING, of New York, wrote

A Poisonous Fish.-We have received
letter from DR.. HOughton, principal
government medical officer in Sarawak,
containing particulars relative to poi
sonOus fish found on the coast of Bor-
neo, and common to the rivers in Sara
wax, which he thinks may prove inter-
esting to the profession. To surgeons
afioat it should be matter of consider
able Importance.
The fish is called ikam buntal, and is
by no means pleasant TO look at, being
flabby and covered with short spines,
having the power of blowing itself out
in a globular form, and when handled
in this state it emits sound something
like grunt. Some few days before
the date of DR.. Houghton's letter he
was called to visit number of persons
who were reported to be dying; on GO
ing to the various houses he found
thirteen had been seized with symp-
toms of poisoning after eating the roe
of the buntal.
Three of sufferers had succumbed to
the effects of the poison, and were ly-
ing dead. The remaining ten DIR.
HOughtOn was fortunate enough to re-
store, after vigorous treatment, con-
sisting in stimulating emetics, friction

and cajuput oil in small doses. The ap-
pearance presented by those attacked
and who recovered were-dilated pu-
pills, blueness of lips, spasms of throat.
cOntractions of the limbs, stertOr, with
greatly lowered temperature. In those
who died the tongue was white and
mOttled, the mouth showing a peculiar
blueness. The time which elapsed
from eating the fish to that of death
was from twenty minutes to half an
hour.
In searching for parallel cases, it was
found that some years ago two sailors
were poisoned from eating a small por-
tion of the liver of the same kind of
fish (TetrGOdon soidndrD at the Cape of
Good Hope, and died in seventeen min
utes. Large quantities are eaten by
the Malays and Dyaks, "whO have
many peculiar superstitions connected
with the mode of cooking" in which,
perhaps. may be found the secret of
the immunity enjoyed. as a rule, from
the effects of the fish. One of the rem
edies in which the natives have much
faith is the curious process of placing
the sufferer on a platform of sticks on
which the fish is smoked, and keeping
up good fire underneath, sufficiently
guarded not to burn the body Lon

JERSEY Cows FOR BUrTER.-At the
late meeting of the dairymen's associa-
ton, Prof. Hall, of Sugar Grove, re-
marked that he had used Jersey cattle
for several years. His experience was
that for butter-makiDg there was no
breed as valuable. A Jersey COW dis
posed of the food, over and above the
quantity required for her sustenance,
in a manner more satisfactory i'm butter
making than any other breeds. The
surplus went into the udder, whereas
in the Durhams it went to production
of fat. He did not want fat, sleek
COW, for the fat was produced at the ex-
pense of the milk. His cows make, on
an average, $50 pounds of butter. Com
mon cows only make 200, and if he
milks cow ten years, he has surplus
as regards the common cow of 500
pounds, worth $50, and he can afford
to bury the COW and not get a cent for
her. If he was raising cows for beef,
he would use the Durham if he wanted
a cow that gave the largest quantity of
milk to sell in Chicago, he would use
the Holstein, but if he wanted to make
butter that would make the largest re-
turn per COW, then the Jersey was the
animal. Both the quantity and quality
of the butter was superior TO that made
from any other breed.
Another fact was that the jersey is not
dry, on an average, much over two
weeks each year, and he had two cows
that had not been dry for two years,
they both had calves
during the time. He said he was not
lauding the Jerseys because he had
them TO sell, for such was not the case,
and he wanted TO increase his herd, in
stead. As to how much milk from his
COWS was required TO make a pound of
butter, he SAID he experimental one day
with his herd of six cows, keeping their
milk separate, and churning it sepa-
rately. The result was for twenty-four
hours milk, one pound of butter from
l623 pounds of milk from the best COW,
A full-blooded Jersey, and decreasing as
the grade of the cows decreased. until
the one common cow from which he
had only made one pound of butter
from twenty-five pounds of milk. The
COWS were all fed the same, and had the
same care, but the fact was that the
cow put the feed on her back,
she was a fat, sleek animal and the
Jerseys put il where it was most needed
into the milk pail.

TRANsPLANTING LARGE TREEs.-The
London Garden gives the details of some
experiments in the removal of trees of
the Cedar of Lebanon upwards of twenty
feet high, which had been prepared by
root-pruning the previous year. A tim
Der wagon was backed up with a wheel
on each side of the tree. the pole
(tongue) placed upright, with bundle
OF straw on the axle to prevent barking,
ropes were passed under the ball of
earth and secured il to the axle, and
the stem of the tree was lashed to the
upright pole, a rope at the top of which
pulled the tree down in horizontal
position. The tree was then carried to
its destination. A heavy mulching of
leaves kept the ground moist during the
heat of the summer, and it succeeded
well. A better mode for removal is
figured and described on page 2l0 of the
third volume of Rural 4Tdirs The re-
moyal of trees of much size is not to be
recommended in this country ofhot and
dry summers; but, if previously pre-
pared by transplantlng or cutting the
roots, the tree may be made to succeed,
if not too large. In the cooler and more
moist climate of Britain the operation
does better but even there some of the
best cultivators have learned to prefer
trees of smaller size. Sir Henry Stew
arts famous park, made at once by the
removal of large trees, never became
luXuriant and satisfactory in growth.
Louden said he would undertake to give
larger and better trees from small ones
in five years, by deep trenching and
good cultivation, than could be obtained
in the same time by transplanting large
ones.
WASH FOR TREEs.-Pour ten parts Of
boiling water on one of gas tar; ard
when cold, sprinkle peach, plum, and
other trees, gooseberry bushes, and
even standard roses before any bud ap-
pears; the same will be free from insects
all the summer You may safely paint
the stems of trees, and the stems of
young larch and forest trees, and il will
entirely keep away hares and rabbits.
Sheep or horses will not touch the
stems of apple trees.-LdRd and Water.
SOME farmers object to turnips as
food for cows, on account of giving the
milk an unpleasant flavor; but this is
obviated by feeding them either when
them in the morning, or imme.
diately after milking, and no bad flavor
is impaired to the milk.

HUMOROUS.

AN AsroNisHED DUTcHMAN. = A
Dutchman ia the Pennsylvania oil
regions let his lands to an oil company
last Spring, on condition of receiving
one-eighth of the oil procured. The
well proved to be pretty good one,
and the farmer began TO think the Oil
men should give him a better chance,
and ventured to tell them so. They
asked him what he wanted. He SAID
they ought to give him one-twelfth.
The arrangement was finally made,
with the understanding that the Dutch
man was not to tell any one- All went
smooth until the division day came,
when our friend was early at hand TO
see how much better he would be on
under the new bargain. Eleven barrels
were rolled to one side for the oil men
and one for him. "How's dish 2" said
he. II think / was to get more as be-
fore. You have made some mistake.
The matter was explained TO him that
he formerly got one barrel out of every
eight, but it was his proposition TO take
one out of every twelve. This reyela-
ton took him aback. He scratched his
head, looked cross, and relieved his
swelling breast of feelings of self-re-
proach by Indignantly remarkiag:
swell, dat ish the fist tine as ever |
knowed eight was more as dwelye."
