To TAKE RUST OUT OF STEEL.-If
possible place the article in bowl con
tanning kerosene oil, or wrap the steel up
in a soft cloth well saturated with kero
sene: let it remain u hours or longer;
then scour the rusty spots with brick
dust; if badly rusted use salt wet with
hot vinegar; after securing rinse every
particle of brick dust or salt off with
boiling hot water; dry thoroughly with
flannel cloths, and place near the fire to
make sure; then polish off with a clean
flannel cloth and a little sweet oil.
TO CLEANSE THE WooD WORK
AROUND DooRs.-Take a pail of hot
water; throw in two tablespoonfuls of
pulverized borax; use a good coarse
house cIoth-an old coarse towel does
splendidly--and wash the painting; do
not use u brush; when washing places
that are extra yellow or stained, soap the
brush; then sprinkle it with the dry pow
dered borax. and rup the places well,
using plenty Of rinsing water; by washing
the woodwork in this way you will not
remove the paint, and the boraX will
soften and make the hands white--a
fact well worth knowing.
For CLEANING PAINT.-The best soap
for cleaning paint Is made by taking one
ounce pulverized borax, one pound best
brown soap, cut in small pieces, and
three quarts of water; put all in ket-
tie; set it on the back part of stove or
range. until the soap is dissolved, stir
ring frequently; it must not come to a
boil; use with piece Of old, soft, white
flannel; it cleans paint without iniuring
it; it is also beneficial for the hands, and
much better for washing clothes than
any other soap.
To WASH RED TABLE LINEX.-Use
tepid water, with a little powdered bo-
rax, (boraX sets the color;) wash the
linen separately and quickly, using very
little soap; rinse in tepid water, contain
lng little boiled starch; hang to dry in
the shade; iron when almost dry.

Cunning.

The following advice on the subject of
churning is furnished by Mr.. ]. I. Els
worth to the Scientific Farmer:
Churning cream to make good butter
is not so simple a process as some may
think 1t must be churned at the prop,
er time and at the proper temperature,
and the churn should be stopped as soon
as the cream is broken, but before the
butter has gathered in large balls. In
YARN weather it is Of great Importance
to watch The process closely, and. to no
tice just when the change takes place.
At this time add enough cold water mot
ices to reduce the temperature of the
mass to aboGt 56 or % degrees, and then
complete the churning, which will be. as
soon as the butter is in a graduated form,
with particles about the size of peas
Then draw off the buttermilk and, dash
in cold water, repeating The washing un-
til the water drawn off appears clear
Now take out layer of butter in the
tray, aud sprinkle on finely sifted salt,
at the rate CT about an ounce of salt to
the ponnd (mOre OF less, as consumers
may wish Then take out aaather
layer of butter and salt as before. At
ter the butter is sailed, set it away for
about three hours for it "to take salt"
and sfharden the grain" Now work it a
little with wooden paddle and set it
away again until ne%t day when it will
need bat little working before preparing
it for market. BY handling in this way
you will get clean, bright article, with
a perfect or unbroken grain, which will
keep sweet whether consumed immedi-
ately or packed down for future market
ing. II the butter is soft and white, it Is
from lack of proper cooling before
charming, and it may be hardened by
putting in about three times the usual
amount of salt and working it a little
for two or three mornings

Rules for ahe Care of sheep.

Keep sheep dry under foot with clean
litter. This is more necessary than
roofing them. Never let them stand or
lie in mud or snow.
If a eve loses her lamb, milk her daily
for few days, and mix little alum
with her salt.
Never brighten sheep, if possible to
avoid it.
Separate all weak, thin or sick sheep
in the fall from those that are strong,
and give them special care.
If any sheep is hurt, catch it at once
and wash the wound with a healing 10
ton. If limb is broken, bind it with
splinters, tightly, loosening as the limb
swells.
If a sheep is lame, examine its foot,
clean out between the hoofs if unsound,
and apply tobacco with blue vitriol boiled
in a little water
Shear at once any sheep commencing
to shed its wool, unless the weather is too
severe.
Keep none but the best, and see that
they are properly attended to.

There are Il good many different

tin syringes holding half gallon. The
fun consists in soaking thoroughly every

person may be soaked with water a mile
or two from his residence, it can scarce
~ be called a safe amusement in city

Its not difficult to tell a horses age.
1t is important to know few signs which
serve as criteria, and the age of a horse
at almost any stage of lite can readily be
told. The colt is born with four grin
ders, and when the four front teeth have
made their appearance, it is twelve days
old. When the next four comes it Is
four weeks old When the corner teeth
appear the animal is eight months old
When the latter have attained TO the
heighth Of the front teeth it is one year
old. The two-year-old colt has the ker-
mel (the substance in the middle Of the
tooth's CROWN grown out in all the front
teeth. In the third year the middle front
teeth are shifting, and when three years
old these are substituted by the horse
teeth. The next four teeth are shifted
in the fourth year, and the corner teeth
in the fifth At six years the kernel is
worn out of the lower middle front teeth,
and the bride teeth have now attained to
their full growth. AT seven years hook
has been formed N the corner teeth of
the upper jaw, the kernel Of the next at
the middle is worn out, and the bride
the kernel is worn out of the lower front
teeth, aud begins to decrease in the mid
die upper front. In the ninth year the
kernel has wholly disappeared from the
upper middle front teeth, the hook on
the corner has increased in size, and the
bride teeth lose their points In the
tenth year the kernel is worn out of the
teeth next to the middle front upper
jaw, and in the eleventh year the kernel
has entirely vanished from the corner
teeth of the same jaw. At twelve years
old the crown of all the front teeth in the
lower jaw has become triangular, and the
bride teeth are much worn down. AS
the hose advances in age the gums shrink
away from the teeth, which consequent
ly receives a long, narrow appearance,
and the kernels becomes darkish points
