NICE BREAKFAST BUNs.-Take quart

cup of butter, one teacup of lively yeast,
two teaspoons of salt, and as much flour
as you can stir in; set it in warm
place over night, and in the morning
take 1t out and knead it into biscuit
set 1t to rise once more, then bake. Ii

Testing for Borac,c Acid.-Mud OBJ
tanned from the bottom of a bOrax lake
in California was found to contain a
large amount of organic matter and
sodium carbonate; besides these were
found iron, alumina, lime, potash, and
silicic, phosphoric. and boracic acids.
Owing to the very large amount of soda
present, it was difficult to test for bo-
racic acid; but this was done at last by
use OF Mr.. Hes glycerin test, the or
dinary methods having in this instance
failed entirely to reveal the presence
of this acid.

STRENGTHENING SAcKs.-A German
paper recommends the following re-
ciPe for making sacks stronger and
more durable: Take proportion of 2
pounds of oaken ashes to two and three
quarter gallons of boiling water; let
the mixture boil for half an hour and
pour off the liquid, in which the sacks
are TO be soaked "a hours. 1t Is said
that this process ''tans" the vegetable
fibres in the sacks, just as hides are
tanned

BURNT BoNEs.-Bones are fed to
fowls in two forms: either in fresh or
calcined state. The former method is
much the best, as the bones are rich in
both organic md inorganic matter,
Just as they were in the framework of
the animal from which they were taken.
In this condition they are easily and
quickly taken up by the secretive or
gans and appropriated to supply the
waste and wants of the system. Burned
or calcined bones are freed from all
organic matter, and there only remains
the ashes of the bones, which are chiefly
lime phosphate and carbonate), and
consequently inferior to fresh bone.
The only objection to fresh bones is
the difficulty of keeping them fresh.
The best and most satisfactory su5sti-
tute is burnt bones. The water is re-
moved by the heat, leaving the lime in
a dry and crisp state, easily crushed.

MINCED TURKEY.-Take the remains
of cold turkey, and cut into very small
dice, in weight perhaps half a pound.
Take half the amount in cold potatoes
and cut also in dice the same as the
turkey. Put on the fire in q saucepan,
with an ounce of butter and one small
spoonful of flour. Stir with a wooden
spoon until it bubbles, when pour on
one gill boiling milk or cream; then
add the turkey and potatoes little salt,
pepper and nutmeg. Serve very hot

PRESENCE OF MND.-At a recent fire
in provincial town the goods in the
burning shop had to be east into the
street, and, as matter of course, the
night being dark, the articles were dis
appearing with astonishing rapidity,
when a policeman, observing man in
the act of picking up fine cheese, very
cleverly made his way through the
crowd, and stationed himself immedi-
ately behind SO as to prevent any es-
cape. The man rose with the cheese in
his hands, and was preparing TO de-
camp; but, on beholding the policeman
in such close vicinity, he suddenly
changed his mind, and quietly placed
the cheese in the policeman's arms, re-
marking as he did so, '"rhere, you had
better take care of this, or some one
will be walking of with it,"

LABELLING TREEs.-No other tree COM
bines within itself more perfectly the
elements of both utility and ornament
than the apple tree. Its fragrant flowers
are beautiful in the spring-time, and the
painted Iruit is glorious all the summer
months. \ farm without an orchard
is robbed of half its beauty, and the
owner loses much of his pleasure and
income. A book should be kept contain
ing plan of the orchard and all the
trees named and numbered as they
stand in the rows. The trees should also
be labelled, and the Wilder plan is per-
haps the best yet employed for this pur-
pose. strips of zinc cut four inches
long and one inch wide, after being put
in water for day or two to oxydize,
are written on with a common lead
pencil. IL will not show very plainly
at first, but blackens with age and will
last as long as the trees themselves.

CARE OF STOCK.-It is absolutely ne
cessary that all animals should be well
sheltered from cold and damp. The rea-
son why pigs or other animals do not
fatten so readily in cold weather as in
the warmer months is, that the food is
largely used in keeping up the vital
heat, which is now given up in excess
and lost. If this loss is prevented, ami
mails will fatten now as readily as at
any other time. This is a very impor-
tant time as regards sheep. If not care
fully watched, they will soon fall off in
condition, and this badly Injuries the
wool, causing what is known as .'break, :"
which reduces its value TO the manu-
facturer one-half. a healthy condition
can be maintained only by preventing
crowding and heating in the yards and
pens, and furnishing ample ventilation,
good food in abundance, and pure water
plentifully. i

PLANTING Fruit TREEs.-Downing
very justly said: ''Many persons plant
a tree as they would post" and one
half OF the failures are in consequence
of negligence in this respect. The holes
should be dug broader than the roots
extend, but not much deeper.
With an attendant to hold the tree,
commence filling in the best and finest
pulverized soil around the roots; at the
same time observing that every rootlet
be placed in its proper position, and in
contact with the soil, and by all means
guard against the roots being matted
together. When the whole shall be
partly filed, bucket of water may be
poured in TO settle the soil firmly, and
tili the interstices among the fibres.
The hole may now be tilled and trOdden
lightly. Never plant tree deeper than
il stood in the nursery, excepting dwarf
trees; the junction of the graft and
root must in them be directly under the
ground.
We have seen very beneficial effect
produced on newly planted trees, par
ticularly during a drouth, by dipping
the roots, previously to planting, in
thin puddle OF mud; this adhering to
the small tibres tends to keep them moist
for long time.
After planting, the soil around the
tree should be mulched with manure,
or coarse litter of any kind, to prevent
the action of the frost during the winter,
and the soil from becoming dry during
the summer.
Also be careful to stake the tree
firmly, protecting the bark by piece

CRYSTAL BAsKETs.-These pretty or
naments are not at all difficult 10 make.
The basket, or any other ornament, is
first fashioned with copper wire, as a
skeleton of the pattern desired. For
blue crystals, take a saturated solution
OF sulphate of copper in hot water,
place the pattern in this liquor, and set
it in aquiet place; as the solution coOls,
crystals of the sulphate will be deposited
on the wire; the first crystals will be
small, but, 10 increase their size, it is
only necessary TO place the ornaments
IN fresh and perfectly saturated solu-
ton of the copper salt. For yellow
crystals, use the yellow prussiate of
potash; for ruby. use the red prussiate
of potash; for white, use alum. The
salts of chromium, and many others, are
equally applicable for this purpose, if
greater variety of color be wanted. To
preserve these ornaments in all their
beauty, they should be kept under glass
shades. All the salts named are more
soluble in hot than in cold water
hence, as the hot solutions become cold,
part OF the material is deposited; in
so doing, each metallic salt assumes
particular shape of crystal, as though
endowed with vitality. These crystals
vary in form according TO the salt, but
are invariably the same for the same
salt, and are as characteristic of their
origin as flower is of the parent plant.

AGRICULTURAL.

TOBACCO STALKS FOR MANURE.-A
Virginia correspondent of the Country
Gentleman writes: have annually
from my tobacco crop from 5000 to
10, 600 lbs. of stalks, rich in nitre and
otner plant food, also cobs from 800 TO
700 bushels of corn, which / purpose
reducing in mill; then add salt, plaster
and the droppings from fifty or more
fowls; then cord and moisten with the
slops from chambers until the entire
mass is so decomposed as TO admit of
being applied through the drill. Not
feeling assured what would be the rela-
tive proportions, and desiring TO act in
telligently, L ask your aid to enable me
10 reach a correct decision. Reasoning
from analogy concluded the vegetable
will form the base and that the action
of the mineral is mechanical and useful
simply as an absorbent and stimulant,
and in no other way, while the product
of the hennery is full in all essential
elements. Will il not be valuable for
wheat and tobacco?
Another correspondent of the same
paper writes Is follows: 'sIn the COM
post proposed, L doubt if the cobs would
be of much value except as an absorb
ent; and if so, they would not repay the
cost of grinding. l should burn them
(utilizing them as fuel in my barn
boiler), and use the ashes for top-dress-
ing, or among fruit trees. The tobacco
stalks with hen manure, &C., rotted so
as TO suffer no loss of ammonia during
decomposition, would give manure,
the value of which would consist chiefly
in ammonia derived from the nitre in
the stalks, and from the hen dung and
urine: in the potash of the nitre, and
in the phosphdteS, of which the stalks
would furnish small proportion, and
in which the dung and urine are rich.
The addition of salt might retard fer
mentation somewhat, but would do no
particular harm or good, think (and
the same of the plaster, during the
process of composing. a ton or SO of
fine mould or loan would aid in the re-
tention of the ammonia disengsged by
decay, more eflectually than the plaster.
AS your correspondent grows tobacco,
has not that crop the best claim TO the
stalks, which contain the very elements
it needs, and TO which they can be re-
turned without the labor of first redu-
cling them so as to be passed through
drill? If so, the hen manure and urine
can be mingled with dry earth so as TO
make a superior guano, with very little
labor, and no farmer will be at a loss
how to use this"
