Farm and Home Breyities.
NINETEEN thousand sheep from n
county in Texas, alone, are being grazed
on the North Platte.
THE large number of negroes who
have rented land in Alabama and gone
to farming for themselves, has caused a
great scarcity of hands among land
owners who desire to farm their own
land.
The total imports of barley from the
Province of Ontario into the United
States in 1877 were $685. 82 bushels as
against 1921, 1872 bushels in 1876. The
imports at Oswego from Canada in 1877
were 8,812, 154 bushels, an increase over
the previous year.
THE free use of saleratus, 70 much
consumed in bread, is excessively in
furious to the human system. 1t is par
ticularly liable to induce muscular
prostration or paralysis, and is sure to in
jure the digestive organs. OF course, it
is most fatal to children, whose delicate
organization is more sensitive than that
of grown persons.
A STEAK that resists the sharp incisive
blows Of the FOUNDER or chopping knife;
in boiling or frying, increasesin bulk, and
defes mastication-that steak is beyond
redemption. Coax it into a stew. A

ing higher, fastening oftener, and
diminishing somewhat the heat of the
oven.
SOIL suitable for most h~ouse-plants
may be made of one-fourth leaf mold,
one-fourth we'll decomposed horse ma
nure, and o%ne-fourth sand, thoroughly
mixed. Constant attention must be
given to keep the plants free from in
sects, but if the first that appear are de-
stroyed, the task will not be so difficult.
The safest, and perhaps the best way to
get rid of them is to brush them ofupon
a paper with a soft, dry brush, and then
destroy them.
AGENTLEMAN writing to the Planter
and Farmer, gives the following remedy
for a choking COW. 1t will probably act
lust as we'll with other animals, and it
will be well to remember it. He says it
never failed in any instance, and has
been tried by him and others hundreds
of times. The remedy is to take a
spoonful of saltpetre, open the animals
mouth, throw it well back upon the
tongue, let the animal go, and the OBJ
struction will either go up or down In a
veryf few minutes.
WAX is generated in the bodies of bees
at will. oosinp out between the scales of
their abdomen in little plates no larger
than the top of a pins head. When
bees are engaged building rapidly, the
~foor-board is often thickly sprinkled
with the wax scales which have fallen
from the workmen's mouths. Each bee
generates two scales at a time, and is
unable to do so on scanty diet. but must
feed literally on honey during the time.
The consumption of honey is very great
when wax production is going on.
Liebig was of opinion that twenty
pounds of honey were required to man
ufacture one pound Of wax.
