A SUBSCRIBER asks how he can best
utilize oat and rye chat. The former
is valuable fodder for milk COWS. 1t
should be scalded and mixed with a
little meal, and then half bushel
makes a good feed for q COW. Rye
chat is not 50 good, on account of the
boards, which stick in the cows
stomach when it is fed alone. It is an
excellent, packing material for ice
houses, and might be sold for that pur-
pose, perhaps.--N. Y. Herald.
EIGHTY-FoUR bushels per acre of
wheat has been grown in England this
year. 1t was cultivated by hand with
hoe. It was planted in drills one
foot apart and the grain four inches
apart in the rows. 1t was carefully
cultivated as a garden crop usually is,
until the plants were SO large as to in
terfere. The day is coming when all
Wheat win be cultivated.-Zo,0a State
STEEL which has rusted can be
clesped BY hxushing with paste made
OF half an ounce cyanide potassium,
hah an ounce castillo soap, one ounce
whiting and water sufficient to form a
paste. The steelshould first be washed
with q sOluti0n of half an ounce cyanide
potassium in twO ounces water. To pre-
serve steel from rusting, q good method
is to paint Il with melted caoutchouc,
to which some oil has been added
Scientific Asaersoan.
SCRAMBLEDE aGs WITH TOMATOES
Break six eggs into bowl and beat
with fork Just enough to break the
yelks. Take as many medium-sized
tomatoes as you have eggs. Use only
the pulpy part Of the fruit, drawing off
the juice and the seeds as much as pos
sible. Put a. lump of butter into fry
ing-pan, and when melted turn in the
tomatoes; stir for q minute, add the
eggs and continue stirring until cooked.
Season,to taste and serve very quickly.
TOMATO CArsUP.-Cut one peck of
ripe tomatoes in halves, boil them in a
lined saucepan until the pulp is all dis
solved, then strain them well through
a hair sieve and set the liquor on to
boil, adding one ounce salt, one ounce
mace, one tablespoonful black pepper,
one teaspoonful red pepper, one table
spoonful ground cloves, five of ground
mustard. let them all boil together five
or six hours, and stir them most of the
time. Let the mixture stand eight or
ten hours in . cool place, add one pint
of vinegar and then bottle it; seal the
corks and keep in cool, dark place.
THERE is very simple process
whereby paper can be made as strong
as parchment, and proof against all
moisture, by dipping it into solution
of sulphuric acid, mixed with half its
weight of water. Almost as soon as
the paper is dipped into the solution,
it becomes strong and heavy, and is
quite as desirable, it is said, for all the
purposes that sheepskin is used. and
Locke almost NO xuofl nc thot n, a for;ol
For bookbinding it has proved very ex-
cellent, and as a covering for preserves
and pickles it is equal to metal. If the
paper is covered with print, il is just
as easily made into q thick substance,
as the acid defaces all marks. If you
desire to waterproof paper without Civ
ing it the character of parchment, it
can be done by dissolving a pound and
a half of alum in one part of water,
and adding to it four ounces of white
soap. Have the soap fine and melt it
in the boiling water, putting in the
alum at the same time. Then dissolve
six ounces of common glue, and two
ounces of gum arabic, in one quart of
boiling water, and when all is well
melted mix the two solutions in boil
ing state, and dip in the sheets of pa
per while it is very hot. Hang them
across lines to dry, and then press
them smoothly. Paper, thus prepared
is very desirable for packing away
articles exposed to dampness, as in a
sea voyage, or for any purpose of pre-
serving goods from moisture.-M. Y.
