PRESERVING SMOKED MEATS IN SUM-
MER.-The very best way We know is to
wrap the meat in thick brown paper
and enclose each piece separately in
sacks made to lit. sew tight; dip them
in preparation of Stacked lime, of the
consistency of ordinary paint. Then
the pieces may be packed in barrels.
with plenty of ashes, or better, pounded
charcoal, and kept in cool, well-venti-
lated cellar, or the coolest place in the
barn. Another plan is to wrap in paper
as before directed, then in an outer
layer and pack in barrels with some
good absorbent. Still another plan is,
after wrapping in thick brown paper,
TO pack in barrels with plenty of dry
cut straw examining them occasionally
to see that they do not mould, if the
weather is damp for any considerable
length of time. By this plan, however,
it is difficult to keep the meat from con-
tracing mould if entirely excluded
from light and air; and where light
and air may enter, insects and mould
are pretty sure to Western

AGRICULTURAL.

Cows AND GRASs.-Grass is sweetest
and gives the best results in milk when
it is eaten off at regular intervals and
is not allowed to get large growth. In
this way the product Is greater while
the exhaustion TO the soil is less than il
is where tufts of grass are allowed TO
mature and go TO seed. Cows ought not
TO be turned at once from hay TO pas
ture, since sudden change of this Kind
Will be apt to affect their health. a
better way is to give them the run of the
pastures for an hour or two at first, and
so allow them gradually, from day to
day, to become accustomed to the
change of food, and they should be fed
from time TO time with hay after they
have been turned to pasture altogether.
Cows will frequently eat greedily of
hay when they have been out TO pasture
for considerable length of time, and
rations of hay will often be found use
full in correcting tendency TO loose
ness of the bowels or securing. Some
dairymen are in the habit of giving salt
to animals at certain intervals of time,
but the better way is to keep it con-
stantly before them or within their
reach so they can take it daily or at
will. Nature regulates the quantity
of salt needed much better than it can
be done by portioning it ont at inter
walls, and if the animal always has it
within reach there's no danger OF over
feeding and the milk will show less
variation in character. An important
point TO be observed in the management
of milk stock is to keep them in
healthy thrifty cOndition and If coUS
on turning TO grass are inclined to lose
flesh and run down weak and thin, they
should be fed rations of ground grain,
and thus be kept up TO the maximum OF
health and strength Vermont Farmer.

TelluriouS Odors.-Some salts of bis
muth, more especially the nitrate and
carbonate, have recently come into
favor, and been prescribed by medical
men for certain disorders of the system
(AHH. Phdrm.) Ii has been remarked
in several cases in England that per-
sons TO whom either of these prepara-
tions had been administered were affec-
ted i'm an unaccOuntable way, the
breath and skin acquiring an intoler-
able odOr. Ii appeared at first sight
probable that the cause lay in the pres
ence of arsenic in the bismuth, but an
alysis of the salts has shown them to be
contaminated with tellurium. Te-
tradymite, compound of bismuth, and
tellurium, is a mineral which has been
met with in many localities, and may
easily have caused the contamination OF
the crude metal.
We may add that among the workers
in ores containing tellurium in Colo
rado, it is well known that, if they in
hale the vapors of that metal, or take it
into the system, they soon begin to emit
from every pore an odor, compared with
which the smell of rotten eggs, sui
phuretted hydrogen, or bisulphite Of
carbon are savory substances. Telluri-
um is metal resembling tin in color,
but it has many of the characteristics
of sulphur.

over hIs right wrist, producing a severe
scald around his arm and two inches in
width. Then, despite the suffering oc-

to his wrist for half a minute. Bicar-
Donate of soda was at once busted over

pain, the eXperimenter stated, was al

SCIENTIFIC.

| A Floating Flotcer Bed.-G. 4. Wilson
in The Garden gives his experience of a
| float which he has successfully used in
the cultivation of bog and water plants,
and, says: The raft is s feet square
and consists of nine planks, connected
underneath by crosspieces, and having
about 2 inches open spaces between; !;
this was sunk by the weight of the pots
pans, and pieces ofirock to 2 or 3 inches
under the surface. On the raft bog
plants in pots and water plants in pans
were placed, with the result that, with
no attention, they flourish as well as in
their natural homes. After time,
when the wood has become saturated
with water, and its floating power thus
lessened, we nailed large pieces of cork
underneath the raft; this enabled it TO
carry a heavy load. The plants now
srrowing on the raft number twenty,
and were chosen as representative
plants. There are the North American
pitcher plant (sdrIacenid purpured), sdri-
frdgd pdlD,dtd, buck beans, violets (piR-
guiculd rulgdris), grass of Parnassus,
several sorts of minulus-the spotted
minulus Overgrows its pan, with foot
roots in the water is most beautiful
IObelid CARDINALS, bog myrtle, a large
variety of yellow iris, and North Ameri
can lady's slipper (cypripedunl spectd-
bile). 1t is obvious that, while the raft
floats between inches and 3 inches
under water, each pan or pot may be
adjusted according TO the requirement
of its inhabitant; thus a water plant is
sunk 10 the full depth. while plant
requiring only moist soil is raised up by
piece of wood placed under its pot.
Probably a still more ornamental form
would be round raft of wood with
cork or wood fastened with copper nails
to form sides, the bottom to have only
small holes all over to admit the water;
there might be cross division for differ
ent mixtures of soil suitable for the
various plants, made not deep enough
TO show above the surface; in this case
one whole raft would be covered with
soil, and all woodwork, except the
sides hidden.
